Prosperity Coming.

The Chicago Times Herald last
week printed reports from special cor
respondents from seventy five of the
principal cities in twelve states or the
business situation. With scarcely an
exception it is a story of revival in all
branches of business, and is in the line
of the fulfllment Of prophecy made
nine months ago when the country
was face to face with the twin danger
of free trade and free silver.
What Brddstrcet's and Dun's Rerietr
have to say on the industrial situation
is referred 10 elsewhere, and confirms
much Of what Is appearing from day
to DAY in the daily newspapers. The
long uncertainty about the tariff is
over, and, as the New York Sun puts
it, business knows under what con-
ditioas it must proceed and il will
proceed confidently, in harmony with
the encouraging facts and prospects
all over the country.
"Prosperitv. continues the sur.
.'for al is here-not a prosperity Of
mere paper and hope, but actual.
tang ie, resting on the indisputahle
and convincing fact Of agricultural
prosperity without which general
prosperity in this country cannot to-
day exist. The days of croaking are
past. There is work to do and money

By local applications, they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed 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 normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever ,
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,

Senior Canovas del Castillo, prime
minister of Spain, is dead by the hand
OF an assassin. and imprecations
which have been hurled against Spain
by Cuban sympathizeIs, are suddenly
changed to expressions of sympathy.
The prime minister was shot by an
anarchist at Santa Agueda Sunday at
noon. The assassin was Immediately
arrested. The death of Premier Can
ovas at this time it is believed will have
momentous effect in the Cuban war.
1t is considered certain that Senior
Sagasta, the leader of the liberals, will
succeed Canovas, an event which
friends OF Cuba believe will be favor
able to their cause.

Aug. ), 1898, the first number of
Dun's Rerielr was issued, with failures
in that month amounting to over
$50, 600, 600. while in the month just
closed failures have been only Sill
30, the smallest in any month since
1872. Extended review of the events
during the past four years, given this
week. constitutes a more complete
chapter of financial history than has
ever been published for a similar
period. The statement of failures by
classes Of business for July and for
forty-six months shows that in manu-
featuring failures have been smaller
than in any other month OF the entire
period; in trading smaller than in any
other month except one, and in many
branches of each department smaller
than in most months of which records

Building an Ice Stack.

A Connecticut correspondent writes
to The New England Homestead: Not
having any icehouse last winter and
knowing how badly l should want ice
when hot weather came, concluded to
stack some ice So we made pile of
ice IL by 10 feet square and 10 feet
high, first making foundation for the
ice to lie upon of old slabs, timbers or
anything that came handy and covered
this with bog hay. After the stack was
completed we put one load of sawdust
on top and covered the sides at our lei
sure, and it was some three or four
weeks before it was Enclosed out of sight
The sides were covered by setting up
some old titnbers, bracing them to keep
them in place and putting boards on the
inside SO as to leave space of 0 or IL
inches, which we filed with sawdust,
packed down hard When this was done,
we put another load of sawdust on top.
In the first part of May we put a roof
made of boards over it, leaving space
over the entire pile high enough to work
under in getting out the ice. Did it
keep? Well, we commenced using the
ice on April 90 and used enough daily
to run four can dreamer and what was
wanted in the house and had enough
left to last into December In making a
stack of ice keep the center a little low
er, which causes the cake to settle to-
ward the middle and prevents it from
falling over. Put the cakes as near to-
gether as possible, but don't fill up the
spaces between with anything. | have
tried both ways, and this is the best and
saves labor in putting i'll and taking out.
