A Historic Railway Collision.

Here Is the story of the evolution of the
locomotive steam whistle: 1t was invented
because Of the destruction of a load of
eggs. When the country roads were for
the most part crossed at grade the engine
driver had no way of giving warning OF
his approach except by blowing tin horn.
The horn was far from being a sufficient
warning. One day in the year 1S.3 a
farmer was crossing the railroad track on
one Of the country roads with a great load
of eggs and butter. Just as he came out
upon the track train approached. The
engineman blew his horn Justify, but the
farmer did not hear 1t. Eighty dozen eggs
and fifty pounds of butter were smashed
into an indistinguishable mass. The rail-
way company had to pay The farmor the
value of his butter, eggs. horse and wagon.
A director OF the company. Ashland Bax-
ter by name, went to Alton Grange. where
George Stephenson lived to see IL he could
not invent something that would give a
warning more likely to be heard. Stephen
son went to work, and the next day had
contrivance which. when attached to the
engine boiler, and the steam turned on.
gave out q shrill. discorcant sound. The
railroad directors. greatly delighted, or
dcred similar contrivances attached 20 all
the locomotives. This hiss developed tate

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,
aud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian tube. When the tube is infiamed you
have q rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is. entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken ouG and this tube
restored to Its normal 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.
