A Wonderful Century.

The Century now fast drawing to a
close has been marvellous one in
every sense of the word. In fact, it
marks an important epoch in the his
tory Of the worlds progress never be-
fore witnessed by mankind. The in
ventive genius OF the age has conceived
and executed many wonderful things,
the steamboat, the locomotive, the tele-
| graph and the telephone being few
of the most conspicuous. Fresh dis
coveries have followed each other IN
rapid succession, until people have
ceased to wonder at anything. Nearly
every day that subtle power--electric
ity-is put to some new and practical
use in the interest of humanity. SUI
perior to all, however, is the gigantic
influence OF the press. As factor in
the civilization OF the world, it has nc
equal. 1t is mighty engine of pro.
erosion. 1t represents the best brains
and talent obtainable. That and the
locomotive have done more to civilize
mankind than anything else. The pos
sibilities in store for future generations
are apparently limitless, and the heav
en- so much longed for in another worlc
may yet become reality in this

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 inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachan Tube
When this tube gets infamed 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
FORMAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh which is nothing but
an innamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

two years later the Water Color society
of Belgium elected him a member. 1t
was about this time he was appointed
6lade professor Of art at the University
college of London. In 1878 this appoint
ment was renewed for four years. In
1876 the Royal academy opened it's arms
to him and he became member. He
was made director of the National
gallery two years ago. Some of Mr..
Poynter's pictures have caused internal
discussion. This is especially true Of
his "Diadumene," which provoked SO
much question as TO the morality OF
the nude in art. One of his best-known
paintings is "Perseus and Andromeda."
Scarcely less familiar is his "Atalanta's
Race" His when the World Was
Young" and 1.-THE Meeting of Solomon

known. Mr.. Poynter also painted car

The sentence, six months imprison-
ment and fine of 5000, imposed on
William Thayer of Bennington by
Judge Thompson is receiving some
comments by the State press. 1t is
generally considered that Thayer as
a violator of the prohibitory law has
no right to complain. This is true
but the SITTER would like to know
how many men there are in Benning-
ton who are daily violating the same
law and yet go UNPUBLISHED. Unless
Bennington is different from Other
Vermont towns of its size at the very
time that Judge Thompson was pro-
nouncing this sentence others, and
not few either, were setting it out
and raking in the script. Here is
where the iniquity comes in. The
prohibitory law should be enforced oil
taken off the statute books, but that
enforcement shonld be impartial.

devil should be made to suffer severe

lowed to 60 right on with the traffic

Rev. L. Dewitt Talmage, who is
now special sky pilot for the good peo-
pie OF the National capital, in recent
sermon tells what he thinks practical
religion will do which is certainly very
good but he neglects to tell us when he
is going to bring about the desired
state of things. He says:
When practical religion gets its full
swing in the world it will go down the
street, and it will come to that shoe
store and rip off the fictitious soles of
many fine,looking pair of shoes, and
show that it is pasteboard sandwiched
between the sound leather And this
practical religion will go right into a
grocery store, and it will pull out the
plug of all the adulterated syrups, and
it will dump into the ash barrel in
front of the store the cassia bark that
is sold for cinnamon, and the brickdust
that is sold for cayenne pepper; and it
will shake out the PrusSian blue from
the tea leaves, and it will sitt from the
-four plaster of Paris and bonedust and
soapstone, and it will by chemical an
alysis separate the one quart of water
from the few honest drops of cows
milk, and it will throw out the live an
imalcules from the brown sugar.
After thus relieving his mind he goes
for the Rockfellers who skin the peo
pie and then give large amounts tC
colleges and universities. Hear him
Now, practical religion will yet recti
fly all this. 1t will go to those hypo
critical professors of religion who got s
