Deafness 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 infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
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 nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which Is nothing but an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces. We will
give One Hundred Dollars for any case OF
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hairs Catarrh Cure. Send for

He seemed to get worse all the while,
however, and the disease finally resulted
in curvature of the spine, making him
utterly helpless.
"The bad sores on his neck increased
in size. and we're a source of constant
pain. He was in this pitiful condition
for two years, when some one recon-
mended S.S.S., stating that it had cured
some of the worst cases OF blood diseases.
AS soon as his system was under the eff
feet of the medicine, the sores began tc
get better, and in eight days were com.
pletely healed. Before long he could
walk on crutches, and was improving
every day. In three months he threw
aside his cru,ches. for he had no further
use for them; the dreadful disease had
been eliminated entirely from his sys.

health. The cure was permanent one,

Inherited
Blood Taint.

Here is a case of inherited blood faint
which resulted in what threatened to be
a complete wreck of an innocent Young
life. The most serious feature of being
afflicted with blood disease is the fact
that innocent posterity must suffer. The
man or woman with the slightest faint
in the blood forces the undesirable leg
acy OF impurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inner
itance which handicaps them in the race
of life.
No child who. has trace of bad blood
can be healthy or strong, and those pre-
disposed to Scrofula are liable to great
deal of sickness, because their constitu-
tions are weak and cannot withstand the
many dangers which beset the path OF
childhood. Medical statistics show that
amajority of lung troubles result directly
from Scrofuls, so that child afflicted
with this disease is likely to fall VIC
tim to dreaded consumption.

Feather, Fur, Lace anj Tulle BOas.
Every woman who cares in the
least about fashionable things will
wear something fluffy" about her
neck this winter.
There is the feather or the fur boa
for street wear, the chiffon, lace or
tulle, one for evening wear, and a
dozen other CONNECTIONS that aim TO
and succeed in making pretty face
Irettier.
The newest feather boa for street
wear does not have long ends flying,
as the boas of last winter did,
but is caught at both neck and waist
by clasps, just as handsome as ones
pOcketboOk can afford.
Gray feather bCas are considered
very smart, and they are wonder
fully becoming. Black ones, of
course, are as elegant as ever, and
will take first place in popularity,
the white and gray boas only taken
up for variety's sake.
In buying feather boa one should
bear in mind that there is but small,
if any, economy in a cheap one, for
good feathers will clean and do over
any number of times, while those of
inferior grade Will lose their fresh
ness in a little while. If an mex
pensive boa must be bought, it is
better to get one of chiffon, or other
suitable fabric, than one of either
feathers or fur.
BOas of fur will not be as much
worn as fur collars.

Velvet Hats are shlrred.

One Of the new features of this
seasons millinery is the shirred vel
vet hats, which are in many differ
ent shapes. A large toque Is, how
ever, the favorite one, and the rich
folds Of the velvet are very soft and
becoming. AS rule the entire hat
is made of the shirrea velvet, but
there are also some styles which
have a shirred crown, others which
have only the shirred brim. Indeed,
the great desire is apparently to
have as much individuality as posi-
BILE in each and every hat. The gray
and the tan velvets show to the
greatest advantage, but in the dark
er colors the mirror velvet is used,
and that has an undercurrent of
another shade which gives an ex-
tremely smart effect. Pleated vel
vet hats are also worn, and one
model that is very smart is of light
tan-a toque-made apparently of
several rows of box pleating. At
the left side the brim turns up
sharply, and underneath are two ro-
settles of deep brown, each with a
rhinestone buckle in the center, and
extending up over the brim are two
or three stiff owls feathers.

A mans Most Grievous Mistake.
BY ALAN CAM ROS.


Some women appear to think that
children do not notice the moods
of their mothers. In this they are
much mistaken. Children are very
observant, and even the infant notes
the difference between the smile and
the frOwn on the mothers face. AS
children grow older and their souls
begin to expand under the influences
by which they are surrounded, a
child of sensitive nature will take
on the hue Of the mothers DISPOSE
ton. II that mother is a sad, signing
woman, the child will become sad
and melancholy. A self-reliant, in
dependent child nature often be-
comes, in such circumstances, def
ant and stubborn; then the mother
signs still more.
When childhood is left behind the
evil effects of the mothers weary
signs become still more appar-
ent. Home is a dull place" Mother
is so lOw-spirited n-and they remain
within its walls as little as possible.
Again the mother signs, because
she cannot control her family any
more, and they do not enjoy her
society as they should.
No one has the right to wilfully
render another miserable. The hap
piest mothers have many crosses to
bear, but they are committing a
great and grievOus wrong when they
allow these crosses and trials 10
shadow the lives of their children
They have certain rights over those
children, but they have not the right
to darken the springtime of their
lives with the reflection of the frOsts
and SHOWS OF afteT-life, for surely
real trouble must come.

Every gentle deed you do
One bright spirit brings to you
One more angel watch to keep
BY your pillow while you sleep,
Softer makes the winds weird song
Through the pine trees all night long
Clearer makes the white stars CLEAN
While YOU dream,
While you dl cam.
Every gentle word you say
One dark spirit drives away,
Makes the clover in the grass
Whisper greeting as yon pass,
Swiftly makes the cloud ships fly
In their march across the sky,
Daintier makes each frosted flake
When you wake,
When you wake.

In the manufacture OF canuy, Salu

"there is no doubt but that America

dies are about the only ones made Of
sugar that can be bought In Paris.
Though the French have long led the
world in this line, they have gradually
but surely managed to do away with
the use Of sugar in their candies, ex-
cept where they make them for con-
sumption in other countries, and In
America In particular. The French
people will not buy confection which
is made of sugar alone. They want
combinations and depend more upon
starches than sugar.
II think l am safe In saying that
sugar-made candy is rarely, IL ever,
sold in Paris. OF course, 1t would be

Of Paris prefer something else. Two

at any time the other can do the work.
From One Hundred and Thirty-eighth
street south the four new tracks run over
the steel viaduct to One Hundred and
Tenth street, and thence by the stone via
duct to One Hundred and Sixth street,
where they strike the level of the present
four-track line.
The work of building this massive struc-
ture, which is here illustrated, began Sept.
1, 1893 and has continued without cessa-
ton until now, and will cost when COM
pleted considerably more than $1,000
900. The completion of the new work will
permit the opening of all cross streets un-
der the railway and so admit perfectly
free passage for street traffic.
One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street,
which has become a great thoroughfare,
will be entirely free, as the trains which
heretofore crossed it at grade will pass
over it at an elevation that will allow
street cars and all traffic perfect freedom.
