Deafness Cannot BE Cured

reach the diseased portion or the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in1iamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining OF the lGus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumhlilg sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entir ely
closed, Deafness is the result. and IN
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases cut Of ten are caused by ca

A correspondent who In writing re-
fers to the fact that everybody who
speaks upon the subject at all is adj
vising against the large use OF corn IN
swine growing, wishes to know to what
extent corn should, in our judgment,
be fed to hogs, says Blooded Stock. 10
make pretty good western hog, tax
ing the whole animals life from wean-
ing until market, and speaking in
general way, it would be no bad IDEA
to make one-fourth of the pig WIN
clover, one-fourth with oats, bran,
shorts and other food of growth, and
one-half of corn, the bulk Of the latter
to be fed late in the latters life ana
chiefly after the preparation for mar
ket has been decided upon. This would
mean very light feeding of corn DUR
ing the growing period, the bulk OF the
food then consisting Of feed stuns
more appropriate for growth making.
and while there is no better finishing
feed than corn, and it can hardly be
crowded too fast in the latter part OF
the feeding, the present tendency OF
market demands would indicate rather
smaller proportion of it than is above
suggested, as compared with the total
amount Of feed given from weaving to
slaughter, as suitable to make the kind
of hog the market wants. The tenden-
cies are all in the direction OF lighter
and growthier and more muscular
swine. The cuts of which the packers

less than the same cuts used to weigh
He has nothing like the demand ane
can obtain nothing like the price fof
lard that he used to receive, and hence
more food of growth and less corn Is
necessary to make the kind OF nos
which he says he wants. One OF these
days the packer will discriminate be-
tween the two kinds of hogs and pay
premium for those that suit the mar
ket demand. When that time comes
he will get what he wants, for the
western farmer can make it If 1t
made an object for him to do so, but IL
the meantime while the margin be-
tween the lard hog and those that more
nearly approach the bacon hog is mar

Wake, Frank; wake and defend

vengeance will take your life! Wake
Frank-wake! You are drifting to
your death!' A low groan OF horror
burst from her. sinister and terrible
to hear. Drifting! drifting!" she whis-
pers to herself; drifting to his death!'
Her CLASSY eyes suddenly soften,
then close. A long shudder runs
through her. A faint flush shows itself
on the deadly pallor of her face, and
fades again. Her limbs fail her. She
sinks into Mrs. Crayford's arms.
The servants, answering the call fol
help, carry her into the house. They
lay her insensible on her bed. After
an hour or more, her eyes open again
this time with the light of life in
them-open, and rest languidly on her
friend sitting by the bedside.

murmurs family. "Am I i'll, Lucy?
l feel so weak"
Even as she says the words, sleep
gentle, natural sleep takes her sudden
ly, as it takes young children weary
with their play. Though it is all over
now, though no further watching is
required, Mrs Crawford still keeps heI
place by the bedside, too anxious and
too wakeful to retire to her own room
On other occasions, she is accustom-
ed to dismiss from her mind the words
which drop from Clara in the trance
This time the effort to dismiss them Is
beyond her power The words haunt
her. Vainly she recalls to memory
all that the doctors have said to her
in speaking of Clara in the state OF
trance. What she vaguely breads for
the lost man whom she loves, is min
gled in her mind with what she is
constantly reading of trials, dangers
and escapes in the Arctic seas. The
most startling things that she may say
or do are all attributable to this cause
and may be explained in this way
So the doctors have spoken, and thus
far, Mrs. Crawford has shared their
view. 1t is only tonight that the girls
words ring in her ear with a strange
prophetic sound in them. 1t is only
tonight that she asks herself: SIS
Clara present, in the spirit, with our
loved and lost ones in the lonely
North? Can mortal vision see the dead
and living in the solitudes of the
Frozen Deep?"

the villa. From the garden of the
nearest house rose the voices of chill
dren at play. Along the road at the
back sounded the roll of wheels, as
carts and carriages passed at intervals.
Out on the blue sea the distant splash
of the paddles, the distant thump Of
the engines, told from time to time Of
the passage of steamers, entering or
leaving the strait between the island
and the mainland. In the trees the
birds sang gayly among the rustling
leaves. In the house the women serv-
ants were laughing over some jest or
story that cheered them at their work.
1t was lively and pleasant time-a
bright enjoyable day.
The two ladies were out together.
resting on garden seat, after a walk
round the grounds.
They exchanged few trivial words
relating to the beauty of the day, and
then said no more. Possessing the
same consciousness of what she had
seen in the trance which persons in
general possess of what they have
seen in dream-believing in the Wis
ion as a supernatural revelation
Claras forebodings were now, to her
mind, realized as truths. Her last
faint hope of ever seeing Frank again
was now at an end. Intimate expert
ence of her told Mrs. Crawford what
was passing in Clara's mind, and
warned her that the attempt to reason
and demonstrate would be little better
than a voluntary waste of words and
time. The disposition which she had
herself felt, on the previous night, to
attach a superstitious importance to
the words that Clara had spoken in
the trance had vanished with the re-
turn of the morning. Rest and refiec-
tion had quieted her mind and had re-
stored the composing influence Of her
sober sense. Sympathizing with Clara
in all besides, she had no sympathy,
as they sat together in the pleasant
sunshine, with Clara's gloomy despair
of the future. She who could still hope
had nothing to say to the sad COM
panion who had done with hope. So
the quiet minutes succeeded each other,
and the two friends sat side by side in
silence.
An hour psssed-and the gAte-bell OF
the villa rang. They both started
they both knew the ring. It wss the
hour when the postman brought their
