Leather and Kerosene.

There is one use of kerosene which is
seldom mentioned. 1t often happens
that when heavy shoe or boot has been
wet it hardens and draws so that it
hurts the foot If the shoe is put on
and the leather thoroughly wet with
kerosene, the stiffness will disappear
and the leather become pliable. adapt
ing itself to the foot If oiled while
wet, the leather retains its softness
longer time. The kerosene does not in

TWIN ROSES.

In distant, verdant valley,
By lazy, limped tide,
Mid the birds and trees aud sunshine.
Grew two roses, side by side.
One was kept by a maiden fair,
The other she gave to her lover there,
As they plighted their troth one day.
One cleaned white on q corselet bright,
As a knight rode away in the morning light
To join his king I'm the fray.
The other dropped its snowy head
At the fear and grief its mistress knew.
She kissed its petals and murmured low,
ST fear, fear-I love him So"
She saw fair summer with heated breath
Die in the flush Of hectic death.
She heard the wild geese rise and cry
Adown the glaring southern sky.
Yet never home her lover came
Slowly died her hopes bright flame.
In distant, verdant valley,
By lazy, hmped stream,
Blooms a rose above grave,
One white rose, in the sunlight's CLEAN.

DEAFNEss CANNOT BE CURE

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 infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

Bermuda HOLSTERS.

In the neighborhood Of the Bermudas
the sea is extremely transparent, SO
that the fishermen can readily see the
horns of the Holsters protruding from
their hiding places in the rocks at con-
siderable depth. To entice the crusta-
ceans from these crannies they tie lot
Of snails in ball and dangle them in

women only. A woman can freely
talk Of her private illness to q woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
OF experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that

Surely any woman. rich or poor, is very
foolish If she does not take advantage
