Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way t" cure Deafness
and that is by constitution al remedies
Deafness is caused by an intlamed CON
dltion of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian 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 its normal con tItlon
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ratarrh,
which is nothing but an inamcd condI-

The inhabitants Of Iceland are COM
mendeG as the most honest people out.
Cases of theft are almost unknown to
them, and murder does not happen
in a generation. There is only one
policeman on the island, who spends
six months of the year in the north
and the rest of the time in Reykjavik,
where the only Jail is located. Accord
ing to the islanders, this prison is a
magnificent building, in that 1t is
built of stone, and they think it is a
direct invitation to wrongdoing, as an
inmate of the prison lives in nice
room, enjoys tie privilege of respos-
ing on real bed and eating bread at
meals, Injuries which an ordinary
Icelander scarcely ever has the OPP
portunity of INDUCING in. In spite
of all these temptations the Reykjavik
prison is nearly always empty.

DICING IN CN}RCU.

On Tuesday, in accordance with the
annual custom, there occurred at the
ancient town Ct st. Ives, in the county
of Huntingdon, a ceremony which, if
not absolutely unique, is As curious
relic of ancient times us may be found
in ii march of many days. Ga first
thoughts it seems that the sight OF
six little boys and six little girls die
ing i'll parish church to win a prize
of a Bible must be unique, both in the
past and in the present. 1t is certainly
unique, enough at present, but for tie
satisfaction Of historical accuracy 1t
must be said that, connected with the
Church of st Lawrence, at Reading.
there existed at one time dicing
ceremony for the encouragement OF

lug that st. Ives c..n claim to sand

custom stan ted in this way: AS far
back as the year 1915 bequest of
$50, invested in land, was made by
an eccentric DR.. Robert Wild Of
Oundle, Northamptonshire, for thu
purpose Of distributing six Bibles
yearly among y children. 1t was
stipulated that six boys and six girls
should clst dice for the Bibles during
divine service every Whit>un Tues

were ratified on tie altar. This was
done for many year, but about half a

vicar, ard during his 'ine and ever
since the throwing has been done on
on an ordinary table PLACED in the
centre aisle.
Briefly, this is how The ceremony
is performed nowadays: At about
9o'clock in the morning the vicar or Il S
cura'e appears with tn church warden
in TIE centre aisle. Some ordinary lit le
table is procured from neighborins
cottage; then in file six nice little
boys and SIX nice little girls, who tai e
up positions near the table. The sig
nal is given, three Toys begin COM
peting with three boys, and then half
the girls complete with the other halt
in like manner. Each competitor
throws he dice three times, and the
church warden keeps the counts. The
unsuccessful six then SO on trying
until they win, and although one
might become very old "boy' or
"girl' before that happened, fortune
is never known to have frowned on
any of the dicers for a longer time than
FIVE years. The successful six, who
are presented, according to the price
stipulated, with 7-shilling Bibles
strongly bound in leather are expect
ed to attend divine service in the even

the occasion. Near the church is
situated patch OF land still known
as "Rib1e Crchard' . The Church of

takes place, is an interestig structure

A large wildcat that had gone hungry
three days sneaked down the big beech
ridge above Balygump, Me-, with its
face screwed into as ugly sneer as
ever a wildcat wore. Beyond the ridge,
where the ground sank into gullylike
swamp, the wildcat found fat porcu-
pine on the ground. The cat evidently
found the porcupine tempting to look
on, for it promptly went ON the hunt
with all the craft it could exercise. Be-
hind a hummock, along snow ridge,
over fallen log and through sprin-
king of bush tops the cat made its way
and approached the porcupine. Then it
sprang and gripped its claws on its prey.
1t sought to roll the porcupine over so
as to bite it on the belly. 1t succeeded
only partially, and filled its jaws fl,
of short quills from the porcupine's s
side. The porcupine died quickly, but
the wildcat, with its jaws distended
with the quilts, could not eat the meat,
being able only to lap up little of the
blood.
The agony to the wildcat was so great
after awhile that the brute rolled over
and over in the snow, finally forcing a
quill through an eye and into its brain.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urine and let it stand twenty four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
diseased condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre-
queflt desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order
WHAT TO DO.
Terhe is comfort in the knowledge
30 often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's

dy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain
in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad eff
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up

portunities that exist in them fly higher

difficult to capture. For this reason men
often seek new fields, where the shoot

What I am endeavoring to point out

Heat Photographs.

The invisible radiations from heated
body possess the power of effecting GER
tain chemical docompositions much after
the manner Of lights, as, for instance,
in photography Among the substances
sensitive to weak radiations Of heat may
be i4Cu.lracd paper saturated with Gu
IIi lrCmi,', or mixture of sulphate
of ,Cip = and potassium bromide, which
has faint groCnish tint that becomes
olive brown in radiant heat, and, if
green is used, brown image can be OBJ
tanned in a minute by exposing to the
radiations from a gas stove, and on
treatment with silver nitrate this image
becomes black by reason of the reduction
of the silver. Bichromated paper is af-
fected by radiant heat, as by light, and
paper impregnated simply with sulphate
Of copper yields feeble image, which
becomes nearly black when treated with
silver nitrate. A mixture of sulphate of
copper and oxalio acid gives paper
which becomes brown on exposure.
Chlorate of copper is also very sensitive,
the faint blue color becoming deep
green. Similarly used bromide of tin
behaves as if exposed to light, but unex-
posed parts become very black when
treated with silver nitrate. Nitrate of
silver, which is markedly acted upon by
light, is slightly Drowned when exposed
to heat radiation, and the tint is deep
ened by hydroquinone or gallic acid.

An Address Signed on washington's
Birthday Made Public.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The silver
Republicans in the senate and house on
Washington's birthday signed an adj
dress to the people which has been
made public, calling a meeting of a
provisional national committee of the
Silver Republican party" to meet in
Chicago, Tuesday, June 8, 1897, for the
purpose of calling national conven-
ton of all silver Republicans and those
who will cooperate them in political
action "until the great monetary issue
is settled and settled right"
Each state and territory is asked to
designate member of the provisional
national committee to represent it in
all matters preliminary to the calling
of the national convention. Charles
A. Towne of Minnesota is named chair
man of the committee, until further
organization is effected.
The address declares that the Repub-
lican party has abandoned the princi-
pies on which it was founded, and that
the silver Republicans cannot follow
"that party into q shameless abandon
ment of American interests and the
tyranny of an alien money system" 1t
is announced that the address is issued
in response to numerous inquiries re-.
questing information regarding party
policy.
1t is signed by Senators Teller, Du-
bois, Cannon, Pettigrew, Mantle, Jones

Making Marbles.

Marbles are manufactured from the
material which gives them their name.
At the marble quarries the refuse stone
is broken by hand into small cubes A
bushel or more of these is poured into a
great revolving cylinder, which is sup
piled with water from faucet. The
cylinder is revolved at a high rate of
speed, and the cubes, by attrition, are
ground down to the tiny spheres which
give such delight to the hearts of the
boys. From one to two hours are usu-
ally required to finish a lot of marbles
and they are afterward sorted according
to size and painted by hand. The crock
cry marbles, or potteries, are nodded of
the same material as ordinary earthen-
ware, and are then glazed and baken
The glass marbles containing images
and flowers are nodded.

Buttons.

Buttons are certainly as ancient as
the siege of Troy, in the ninth century
before our era, for, both in that unfor-
tunate city and at Mycene, DIR. Schlie-
mann discovered objects of gold, silver
and bronze which could have had no
other use than that of buttons. In me-
dieval times the clothing of the common
people was generally fastened with
wooden pegs of the type and form of
those resorted to in emergencies by the
country boy of the present day. Buttons
covered with cloth were prohibited by
George /, i'll 1920, to encourage the
manufacture of metal buttons.
