A tornado blowing at the rate oI eighty miles an hour struck St. Louis at five o'clock on the evening of May 2, and ragged violently for b alf an hour Buildings were blown down, crushing the inmates to death. and several river steamers were sunk with all on board. The hospitals are full of the maime1, and the city morgue contains many a ghastly memento of the cyclone, while strewn about the city, in the track oi the destroyer, numerous victims lie dead.

A Problem.

A curious problem has been presented to Cincinnati manufacturer. He re- gently sent & man to Johannesburg to install some machinary for him. Pres. ently he had letter from his agent saying that he must forthwith make a change in the pattern of the column of his company's band mill, as there was the greatest difficulty in getting the piece of machinery sent through the custom house. The Boers took 1t for a large cannon, or some sort of machine gun, and wanted to confiscate it. The agent says 1t took any amount of ftalk- ing to convince them that it was part of band mill, and that they are even now little skeptical in regard to it, and ride past every hour or so to watch the progress made in it's erection. The Boers are good shots, and effective fighters but as race they are suspici- ous, unintellIgent, and d nse, and the agent is still ap rehensive that they may yet take it in;o their hands that the band mill is ''contraband of war. , and make short work of 1t, and possibly Of him. too,

According to celebrated anatomist there are upwards of 5.000,000 little glands in the human stomach. These glands pour out the digestive juices which dissolve or digest the food. Indi- gestIon iswant of juice, weakness ofthe glands, need of help to restore the health ofthese organs. The best and most n at- ural help is that given by Shaker Diges- tive Cordial. Natural, because it SUD- plies the materials needed by the glands to prepare the digestive juices. Because it strengthens and invigorates the glands and the stomach, until they are able to do their work alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indigestion certainly and permanently. It does so by natural means, and thereln lies the secret of its wonderful and unvaried success.

In the Sunny South.

American Land and Title Register.l
 Ia the south the farm is fast taking the place of the plantations, and the careful methods of the farmer are crowd ing to the wall the large planter with from 40 to 2O0 acres will raise on less than half his land all that his family, tenents and stock require; the remain ing land he will put in cotton. and 1t will be surplus, The old plantation mode was to raise little else than cotton, and with the cash obtained from the sale of this staple to buy corn. oats, hay meat, etc. Is it to be wondered at that under the operation of this method the mort gage upon the plantation has increased from year to year, and that recent fln- ancials disturbances, cutting of further credit, have brought on foreclosure? These large places will have to be cut upinto smaller places and sold to thrifty farmers before full prosperity can re- turn to the South. This is now being done, and the ruling prices forIand in the South are now such that Northern farmer with his land mortgaged for half or two-thirds of it's value can sell his equity for enough to buy and fully pay for the sume number of acres of equally fertile land Tn the South.

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed con- dition of the mucus lining of the Eus. tachian Tube. When this tube is m. famed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en. tirely closed. Deafness is tho result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de. stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are cured by catarrh, which IS nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free.
