nE.ENEss 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 Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets inhamed you have a
lumbling 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 its
FORMAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inaamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

other way" agreed Ned within himself.
"pm going to see how still | can go up
stairs now, and hang up the clothes |
left scattered around my ROOM"
He started off tiptoeing up the stair
way as carefully as he could muttering
to himself, 81 guess papa'll think this is
pretty smooth riding, He always says
make as much noise as a whole livery
stable going up and down stairs. And
then grandma won't have to tell me about
hanging up my things, either; and that'll
save her some jotng. She's always jolt
ing over something do; and guess ]
ought to be ashamed, because her bones
are old, and she had plenty Of trouble
with her own children"
Down in the library Ned's papa smiled
to himself as he noted the whole proceed
ing, even though he kept busily at work.
81 think" he said, casting his eye over a
catalogue of bicycle dealers supplies
which Ned had with a good deal of fore
thought left at his elbow, that the price
OF that pneumatic seat may prove one OF
the best investments ! ever made"
Something in his fathers face scanning
the catalogue encouraged Ned wonder
fully; and it was not long before he mus.
tered up courage enough to approach his
fathers elbow, and demurely suggest, 81
guess it's been little smoother round
here lately, hasn't it, papa?"
Don't know but it has," answered his
father 1T seems to me that haven't
heard Dick iretting quite as much as
usual; and / know that your mother has
been saved quite a number of steps and
your grandmother great deal Of worry
while haven't been"
'Jolted," prompted Ned. That's what
/ call it, You see I've been playing to
myself that | am pneumatic boy, audit
was my business to keep this house from
being jolted. That's what pneumatic
seat is for" he shrewdly concluded.
81 see," answered his father you've
shown me how much easier riding with q
pneumatic seat is, and l guess we'll have
to order one today with your safety
We're willing to be partners with you il
this matter Of smooth riding. That's &
great deal tairer than to have all the
smooth riding on one side, don't yot
think so ?"

The Rush for Alaskan Gold.


With all the promises held out, it is
probable that the story of these gold fields
will be the same as that of most of their
predecessors-for every dollar OF gold OBJ
tanned, So had to be spent. The mind is
impressed by the stories of $3.50 day
and fortunes of $35 900 made in a year;
the many absolute failures pass unre-
corded. 1t is significant that Wilson not
otherwise sparing in enthusiasm, advises
no miner to start unless he has about $500
to begin with A good part Of the first
year, he says, will be consumed in reach
ing the mines and doing the preliminary
work; the second year the claim can be
well opened up; the third year usually
gives the promised results. In the earlier
years the companies doing business in the
country helped stranded miners to get
away. During the past year, however,
they have given notice that they will refuse
to give any assistance whatever. AS the
rush this year is greater than ever, it
seems inevitable that many miners, dis
appointed in their hopes, will be exposed
to starvation. Not that the country is
the barren waste usually associated with
the word Arctic. DR.. Dawson, after care
fully investigating the flora and inquiring
into the experiments made in the past
expresses his opinion that the country
may eventually support large agricul-
tural and pastoral population, being quite
as well situated in regard to climate as
the Russian government of Vologda
which, on 1855, 49S square miles, supports
population of ,161 900. At this rate
Alaska, with its 577,390 square miles,
ought to be able to support 1900, 900
inhabitants. But this development will
necessarily be of slow growth, and large
population suddenly thrown on the re-
sources of the country now will risk star
walton just as surely as did the early
English colonists on the favored shores of
Virginia and the Carolinas. Though game
is now abundant, yet it cannot long re-
main so if determination goes on at the
rate reported from Forty-mile Creek,
where 5000 caribous were killed in 1894.
Fortunately it has been found possible to
domesticate this animal, and use it for
freighting and in this capacityit bids fair
to replace that necessary evil, the dog.
The brightest prospect for all Alaska lies
perhaps in the eminently successful exper-
iments of DR.. Sheldon Jackson to intro.
duce the tame Siberian reindeer. Fish
especially salmon, are abundant From

A New Electric Device.

An electric boiler device, adapted to be
applied to any pot or kettle, has been
patented by F. w. SCHNEIDER Jenny of
kennelbach, Austria-Hungary. This in
yention comprises ring. shaped heating
body of refractory insulating material,
containing resistance wires and sur
rounded by a suitable protection casing.
handle is attached to this ring for
raising or lowering into or out of pot
or kettle. The resistance wires are con-
nected to an electric circuit by suitable
insulated wires passing up through the
handle. If it is desired to boil a pot of
potatoes the ring is lowered into the pot
BY its handle, and the current switched
INTO the resistance wires in the ring. The
latter Immediately becomes hot because
n Nthe heat generated in the wires by the
reSlStance of the same to the electric fluid.
q ma few minutes the waterin the pot will
%boiIlng and the potatoes cooked. The
ring can then be removed and washed and
the coffee boiled in the same manner.
Inc pots and kettles all rest on the top of
mordinary wood table during the process
o' cooking. The sight of pot boiling
while resting upon a table and with only
asmall flexible wire extending into the
same is indeed very unusual one and
would no doubt excite many modern
