DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have a rumb-
ling 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 normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed foregoing; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Rev. Washington, pastor of Hills
! dale Station, has so far recovered from
his recent illness as to again occupy his
pulpit.
The village refuses to be behind the
times, even if they do try to locate
cemeteries in its midst. The Hills
dale Tennis Club is a thoroughly up
to date organization, comprising as it
does, some of our best known and
most cultured young men and women.
They practice faithfully, and some of
the members may justly be ranked
among the best players in the District
of Columbia.
The MeSsrs. Lucas, we understand,
were the originators, and are the most
enthusiastic promoters of this club.
Mr.. M. Lucas also belongs to Tennis
club across the river.
1t can rain harder in this vicinity than
anywhere else as the car loads of peo-
pie who came to the village last Tues
day night can testify-the white
dresses and white linen suits which
were the sport of aquaries were divert

Mrs. Lyles is spending a few days in

Rev. Geo. Adams had been invited to
preach. The pastor conducted the
evening services, and his discourse was

Norwegian Who Got Rich Goes In
sane on Pleasure Trip.
Twenty-Five years ago a party of men
came from Norway aud settled on farming
land in Farrabout county, Mnn. All were
poor. Among them was Andrew Il.
Brackke, then thirty-one years old.
The immigrants prospcred. Brackke
married ana has a family. He owns
fine farm and has big account a the bank
Recently Brackke began to think il was
time he was enjoying the fruits OF his IN
dustry, so he made up party OF his neigh
bors TO visit their old home in Norway.
They started Thursday.
BraCkke was the most jovial OF al. He
bubbled over with good humor. The world
was rosy TO him. For, was he not rich
did he not have big roll OF money i'll his
pocket and more at home, aud was he not
returning to dazzle the friends of his
youth?
Bat. at Chicago Brackke's friends noticed
a change. The intoxication of anticipated
pleasure seemed too much for him. He

The Psalms as IA Text Book.

An interesting story is told OF the way
bne Of the young labor leaders OF this city
was taught English. Sheis young German,
with d natural gift for speaking; her lam
guage has been distinctive because OF its
poetieal imagery and fire. She was very
anxious 10 know English sufficiently to
speak in public, and a friend undertook
10 teach her. He soon discovered, how
ever, that an ordinary English grammar
and reading book was absolutely running
her style. 1t was killing all the poetry
and force of her language, and she was in
danger Of becoming commonplace. AS an
experiment he tried teaching her from the
Psalms and 1saih with such good results
that it was the only text book in the fu-
lure. Her teacher has in this way sue
cCedcd i'll translating not only the words
for ner, but her manner of expression, so
tnat through the old prophets the new one

AT THE NIGER'S SOURCE.
Visit to the Rock From Which the
InfRnt River @ usIIes

Visit to the Rock From Which the
Infant River G uSIes.
The English and French have been de-
terIniling their boundary line in the country
back of Sierra Leone, and the discharge of
this duty took them to the ultimate source
of the great Niger river. L was discovered
by a Frenchman several years ago, but its
position has never been fixed until now.
The natives there have holy horror of the
spot. They are afraid to look on the spring
tuat gives bIrth to the Niger. for they believe
that whoever does so Will die within year.
The guide who led the surveyors to the
ravine in which the Niger rises could not be
induced to enter it, and he begged the white
men not to persist in their rash intention to
do so. But failing to share the native ter
ror, they plunged into the rayine. where they
found the Niger source very distinctly
marked. Its a small stream issuing from a
hillside in the deep wooded ravine. on the
rock whence the rivulet issues is the in
scription &c. B., S95,'' cut by the French
Captain Bruet and the bottle he placed in
the stream is still there. There was no
danger thatthe natives would carry ftaway.
The natives thought the white men should
atone in some way for their sin in visiting
the water. and asked them to make sac
rifice to the devil, which s the only deity
they acknow ledge. As the visitors de-
clincd to do so. the natives sacrificed a
white hen to the devil. and thus provided,
as well as they could. against the risk
the white men had incurred.
Tembi Kundu is the name of the place
where the Niger rises, and 1t is situated
in 9 degrees = minutes 80 seconds north
latitude and about 10 degrees 80 minutes
west longitude. The water parting is very
clearly marked here. Within $50 feet
of the Niger head springs is the source of
q river flowing southeast to Liberia. and
the Bagwe River which flows into Sierra
Leone, rises only a half mile away.

The American Kitchen.

French chef has jotted down in his
notebook a few Of the causes of waste in
an American kitchen.
Scraps of meat are thrown away.
Cold potatoes are left to sour and spoil.
Dried fruits are not looked after, and
become wormy.
Vinegar and sauce are left standing in
tin.
Apples are left TO decay for want of
sorting over.
The tea canister and coffee box are left
open.
Bones of meat and the carcass of tur-
key are thrown away, when they could be
used in making good soups.
Sugar, tea, coffee, and rice are carelesSly
spilled in handling.
Soap is left to dissolve and waste in
water.
Dish towels are used for dish cloths, nap
kins for dish towels, and towels for
holders.
Brooms and mops are not hung up.
More coal is burned than necessary by
not closing hampers when the fire is not
used.
Lights are left burning when not in use.
Tin dishes are not properly cleaned and
dried.
Good new brooms are used to scrub
kitchen floors.-Chef.

PAN
Leaves From the Classics

The parentage of Pan is involved in OBJ
scurity. His family tree seems TO have
grown in a goat pasture-it was kind of a
"goat.tree," as it were. Mercury is the
accepted father of Pan, but the distinction
of being his motheris claimed by no less than
a dozen ambitious godesses. The proverb
in this case might appropriately be changed
to read: ut is wise Pan that knows his
own mother
Pan might be considered the human
analogy TO platform drafted by a political
convention where the contending factions
are about equally divided. The meeting
convened to create Pan evidently split
on the question of whether to construct
him along the lines of man or O goat
The result was a compromise, the finished
god being trifling startling and bizarre
But Pan never took himself seriously.
