Deafness Cannot be Cured

bv local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inAamed you have 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
t. its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused bv catarrh, which is nothing
but an inAsmed condition Of the NIL
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caIsed by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall S

ShylOck.
A DAPER-
BY A. j. NORRIS.

If the critics are correct, no more powerful
delineation of character can be found in the
worlds fiction, than that of Shylock, and
lin no other comedy" says Dryden, 'can
any character compare with him in vigour
of drawing and depth of color" There are
other proofs in evidence OF this opinion.
In proportion to the depth Of character is
the difficulty in its analysis and interpreta.
ton; and no character in SHAKESPEARE has been
80 differently conceived both on and of the
stage, as the one under consideration. The
various actors neither interpret nor repre-
sent him as repulsive looking, decrepit old
man, grinnlng with deadly mollce, all the
hate and venom of his heart photographed
on his hideous features.
This earliest conception has been variously
modified down to the present. Henry Irving
has changed the conception radically and
today Shylock appears on the stage as a
gentlemanly looking man of some education
and refinement, neither repulsive nor elderly
in appearance. That he was man of strong
and vigorous thought is shown in the ability
with which he defended himself in the court,
and by the mastery, unanswerable argu-
ments with which he met all the objections
and taunts of his opponents Hazlitt says of
him: "That he has but one idea is not true;
he has more ideas than any other person in
the play" tho could hardly 60 so far as
Hazitt
Perhaps it is impossible from the Christian
standpoint to rightly weigh and measure the
character of Shylock; so difficult is it for one
to put himself in another's place, where the
development of race, circumstances of out
ward and inward environment, utterly pre-
clude such notion 1t would be much like
trying to determine the feelings of a dog
under abusive treatment, never having been
a dog oneself.
That ShylOck was a splendid hatcr we are
all agreed. That lie allowed his hatred to
carry him to the point where he loses his
grip on our sympathy. no one will deny.
The questions to determine here are how far
was he justified in his bitter hate; and does
his insistence Of bis bond indicate an inherent
depravity and cruelty that precludes the
notion ofany redeeming qualities? Is he the
monster that we have been wont to regard
him? These are questions upon which we
shall probably pass judgment according to
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1896-06-04

Our New Departure.

What We shall have to say here, con-
corning the new policy inagurated with
this issue of The CLARION must not be
misunderstood. Very many times an
explanation is taken and accepted as an
apology, when the former is in order
and the latter is not. While, therefore,
we explain the occasion Of our departure
from the ancient regime of the country
newspaper, we have some disposition to
to frame boast rather than an apology.
In defining our position under the new
policy inaugurated, we shall endeavor
to prove to the satisfaction of the read
er, as thoroughly as we have to our own.
that the labor bestowed upon the short
stories, odds and ends of general news,
bits of information, poetic selections and
humorous squibs, that from prehistoric
time has gone to make the matter of the
pages of country newspaper, usually
two, that are not given to the Local and
Editorial departments, is, to a degree, a
waste of energy and the columns so oc.
cupied, wasted space.
A retrospect Of seventeen years con-
duct of The CLARION reveals a condl-
ton of constant dissatisfaction with the
policy that had the short story pieces of
poetry facts for the-curious funny.bits
plan, constitute under an unwritten law
of country newspaper make up, the s're
qua non, for that portion Of the paper not
devoted to local news and editorial.
And latterly, to degree scarcely i'm
aginable decade since, owing to vast
increase in the daily, semi and tri week
ly newspaper reading constituency, has
the weekly publication of general news
been rendered practically worthless.
We are today the greatest Nation OF
readers under the canopy Of heaven and
have come TO discriminate between mat.
of intrinsic merit and mere hodge podge
utilized to fill space. Every branch of
literature has its devotees and all that
is necessary on the part of the publish
er is to maintain proper standard OF
excellence in a specific department Of
literature. to secure the interest Of the
devotees at that particular shrine.
The general reader cares little for the
heavy scientific treatise, less for poetry,
finds it difficult to take interest in a
plotless, poiItless three column novel,
cite, has probably read the witty squib
already twice or thrice, while the farm
garden and household departments pro
vide the real humor for the farmer, gar
dener and housewife, by virtue of the
theoretically beautiful, but practically
nonsensical stuff that is written byfancy
impracticables and copied and re. copied

great as OH the opening night. 1t is a
