GLADSTONE AND DlSRAELl.
The Ways of the Two Great Premiers
Were CuriouslY Unlike.


1 heard nearly all the great speeches
made by both the men in that parlia-
mentary duel, which lasted for so many
years My own observation and judg-
| ment gave the superiority to Mr.. Glad
stone all through, but l quite admit
that Disraeli stood up well to his great
opponent and that it was rot always
easy to award the prize Of victory. Tho
| two mems voices were curiously un-
like. Disraeli had deep, low, power
full voice, heard everywhere throughout
the house, but having little variety or
music in it. Gladstone's voice was
tuned to higher note, was penetrat-
ing, resonant, liquid and full Of an ex-
quisite modulation and music which
gave new shades of meaning to every
emphasized word. The ways of the
men were in almost every respect curl
ously unlike. Gladstone was always
eager for conversation. He loved to talk
to anybody about anything. Disraeli,
even among his most intimate friends,
was given to frequent fits of absolute
and apparently gloomy silence.
Gladstone, after his earlier parlia-
mentary days, became almost entirely
Indifferent to dress. Disraeli always
turned out i'll the newest fashion, and
down to his latest years went in the
get up of young man about town. Not
less different were the characters and
temperaments Of the two men. Glad
stone changed his political opinions
many times during his long parliament
airy career, but he changed his opin-
ions only in Difference to the force of a
growing conviction and to the recog
milton of facts and conditions which
he could no longer conscientiously dis
pute. Nobody probably ever knew what
Mr.. Disraeli's real opinions were upon
any political question or whether he
had any real opinions at all. Gladstone
began as Tory and gradually became
changed into Radical. Disraeli began
as an extreme Radical under the pat
ronage Of Daniel O'Connell and changed
into Tory. But everybody knew that
Gladstone was at first sincere Tory
and at last a sincere Radical Nobody
knew, or, indeed, cared, whether Dis
raeli ever was either sincere Radical
or sincere Tory. y.-Justin Mccarthy in

sand ridge which was higher than the
average and descended to a natural
sink Of about half an acre in extent. In
the center of this sink was puddle of
water-such water as a thirsty horse
would hardly have touched with his
nose a second time. In the breast Of
the sand ridge was shallow cave-the

must have had food to live, but he
must have been compelled to eat it raw.
No wonder he looked pinched and hag

down on the sands and turned away
from the officer. Had the deserter been
armed the officer would have feared an
attack. While he did not fear that, the
mans singular demeanor bred appre-

He had been driven to desert-tO be-

officer knew that his command had
been routed, and that he was cut off
from it. That the Indians did not pur-

his only living companions were SER

A Bat In a Tomb.

A queer story is told of naturalist
who died in 1860 and was buried at
Blankney, in Lincolnshire. Among his
pets was large gray bat
This bat was permitted to enter the
tomb and was sealed up alive with the
corpse of his dead master. In 1866 the
vault was opened, and to the surprise
of all the bat was alive and fat.
On four different occasions since the
relatives of the dead man have looked
after the welfare of his pet, and each
time it has been reported that the bat
was still in the land of the living, al
though occupying quarters with the
dead. 1t was last seen in 1S92.-Pear-

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that is

When this tube gets infiamed you have a

when it Is entirely closed deafness is the re-
