Merit Wins,

The invention of labastine marked
new era in wall coatings, and from
the standpoint of the building owner
was n most important discovery. 1t
has from small beginning branched
out into every country of the civilized
world. The name "kalsomine" has be-
come so offensive to property owners
that manufacturers of cheap kalso-
mine preparations are now calling
them by some other name, and at
tempting to sell on the Alabastine
company's reputation.
Through extensive advertising and
personal use, the merits of the durable
Alabastine are so thoroughly known
that the people insist on getting these
goods and will take no chance ofspoil-
ing their walls for the possible saving
of ut the most but few cents. Thus
it is again .nonstratcd that merit
wins, and that manufacturers of first
class articles will be supported by the
people.

the Car is never so warm and cOncill-

this actual thermometric condition may
be ascribed his recent expressed desire
for peace in the east.
There is a motto in maritime affairs
that nothing can be improvised; every
thing has to be forcseen. 1t was with
clear understanding Of this truth
that the late Car, Alexander ILL.,, gave
instructions to his engineers to study
the possibilities of maritime canal
to connect the Baltic with the Black
Sea; this canal to be- constructed with
dimensions sufficient for the transit Of
the largest war vessels. After a thor
ough study of the various possible
roads, one has been selected as the most
practical, running, as it does, entirely
through Russian territory. On the
plan selected there are no great diff.
cuties of level to be overcome, al.

nit has to be crossed, but this last
takes place at one of it's lowest points,

it reaches the Berezina river by
straight cut and passes through Bah

into a magnificent roadstead below

Deafness Cannot He 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 innamed condition Of the
lining of the Eustachian, Iube.
When this tube is innamed you have q
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
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh. which is nothing but
an infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrl
Cure. Send for circulars free.

One of the highest mountains upon

1t was because Paul knew that
Christ could save the whole world that
he was so anxious for the whole world
to know it.
The first evidence that a backslider
has lost his communion with God is
shown in his being ashamed of his
