Knots Tied by Machinery.

If inventions continue to multiply at the present rate, the day may speedily come when man will have to sit with folded arms while his work and even his pleasures are turned out for him by nickel in the slot devices. Science has lately given us marvel in the shape of a card counting machine.
 Two of the most interesting automata now working within the limits of the United States are those used by the gov ernment for counting and tying postal cards into small bundles, These ma chimes were made in Connecticut, and the two are capable of counting 500. 900 cards in ten hours and wrapping and tying the same in packages of 25 each. In this operation the paper Is pulled off drum by two long fingers" '" which come up from below, and another finger dips in vat of mucilage and applies it. self to- the wrapping paper in exactly the right spot. Other parts of the ma chine twine the paper around the pack of cards, and then thumb" presses over the spot where the mucilage is, and the package is thrown upon a carry belt ready for delivery. -Ar9osy.

Deafness Can's be Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inf1amed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing. and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness lcaused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
