They Help to Make the Boston Journal
the Most Popular Paper in New England.
The Boston Journal numbers among
its contributors the most famous writers
of two continents. DR.. A. Conan
Doyle, the celebrated author of "Sher-
lock Holmes" has just completed a
novel dealing with the life of prize
fighters as they were at one time, and
this striking work is being published in
the columns of the Boston Journal
Capt. Charles King, the distinguished
writer Of novels dealing with frontier
life, has surpassed all his previous eff
forts by his latest novel, Gan Army
Wife" which also appears in the
Journal. Every Sunday Capt. John
F. Morrill,, the famous base ball play
er, writes a chattv letter about the ma
tional game, Edward w. Box recounts
the freshest gossip of the world of writ
ers, and Bab-that unique journalist,
whose letters interest men and women
all over the country-contributes one
of her inimitable sketches. The Sun.
day Journal, by the way, was the first
Sunday paper in New England to EN-
ploy halttone illustrations in its col.
umns, and its pictures are the finest
given in any paper.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE 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 inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eu>tachian Tube
When this tube gets infiamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to lis
FORMAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous sur

FRENCH MONUMENT FOR SEDAN.

however, that an injustice is done to NJ.

marked disproportion, from this point
of view, between the size of the figure.

OF poise to the winged figure, but will
also reduce its apparent size in the re.

Pittsburgh Scientist Describes a Simple
Way OF Producing Thorn.


Way OF Producing Them.
A very simple method of illustrating
the theory Of Roentgen regarding the
collection of light may be made in the
following manner, as Pittsburgh
scientist says:
Fold piece of white paper of ordi-
nary thickness into the form of cone,
closing the small end tightly, SO as to
exclude the light. Place this cone over
the globe of an lncandescent light, fold
ing the edges around the same in such
a manner as to prevent any rays from
escaping which do not penetrate the
paper.
Then darken the room as much as
possible, excluding all the light save
that furnished by the covered globe,
and place your hand, with fingers ex-
tended, within two or three inches of
the latter. The accompanying picture

his cows. If two tests are made, each
of IL mixed sample of four days milk
N being taken six weeks after the
COW calves and the other six months
after calving the average Of these two
tests will agree almost exactly with
the average quality of the milk given
during the entire milking period.
There will seldom he Il difference of as
much as one-quarter of l per cent of

nearer together what quality of milk Il
COW gives, yer accurate results Will

teen days apart four months after the
COW calved, each test being on Il mixed
sample of four days milk. The aver
age of these two tests with one-eighth

ingly near the truth for the average
