Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased pOr-
tions of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining o.
the eustachian tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound of 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 it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused bv
catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dol

Miss May Alfred rendered her
Sunday-school class social last
evening at her home on North
Magnolia street. The evening
was an exceedingly enjoyable one
to her pupils; music, games and
refreshments being the pleasing
features. In this and many 9TH

the love and cooperation of her
young pupils and is enabled to do
a grand work in the Sunday

Mr.. H. A. Ford has learned to
manage a bike.
Leon Fishel spurted into a pine
tree last week which left his
wheel in the shape of an S.
When will that twelve mile
road race be run?
Now is the time to fall in line
and ride bike or you won't be
sin it, when the Sth of July
comes around. 1t is estimated
that including the visiting wheel
men over $50 wheels will be ir
the grand parade during the
evening. There will probably be
six races as follows: two boys
races, one under IA and the ii to
Is; one mems race; one ''free for

Some Interesting News.
A thorn in the bush is worth

Mr.. Jno. Dozier suggests that
pads be placed on all trees In
close proximity to the track. A
rather good idea, in fact we
thought so once upon a time, but
owing to the lack of funds on
hand it would be unwise to at
tempt such gigantic scheme az
present. Try, try again, hope
next time you will be more for
tunate.
In some towns wheelmen must
have license to pedal.
Mr.. Hugh Haycraft, not to be
outdone, has taken up the cause
for the Plant System and can
handle the wheel to perfection.

not agree, these two will select a
third person.
The Ocala school trustees pre-
sented a report Of the condition
of their school and asked for three
additional teachers.
Superintendent presented a
complete report of the financial
condition Of the county schools,
with itelniZed estimates of ex-
penses and resources for schOlas-
tic years 1897 and 1898, beginning
July 1st, 1897, ending June 3rd
1898 with important recommends
tions, most of which were adopted
in whole or in part. A term of
five months was agreed on and if
sufficient taxes are collected, six
months will be taught.
A five mill levy was asked of
the board of county commission
ers for school purposes.
The question of how many
schools could be run was then dis
cussed. Petitions for new schools,
division of several negro schools
with two teachers, with view to
one teacher for each school and
consolidation of schools were duly
considered and the board then
ordered rs white and IL colorcd
schools.
Not more than 81 ,OCO will be al
lowed for the new school year
for repairs and furniture. Sever
al small bills were allowed for
furniture and repairs and many
such bills refused and an order
passed that no more repairs be
made only such as shall be abso-
lutely necessary to carry on
school work.
Time for adopting text books
for the county was deferred un-
til August.
Tuesday the board fixed the
salaries of teachers.
Each school was taken up sep
arately and the amount recon-
mended by the county superin-
tendent was confirmed by the
board, except in few instances,
where all the facts were not at
hand to reach a conclusion.
The state superintendent re-
fused to locate summer normal

The full intensity of living is
reached only by the perfectly
healthy. Sickness discounts the
capacity for enjoyment. If his
body is all out of order and run
down, he will not be able to en-
joy anything, no matter how full
of enjoyment it may be for other
people. If he is just a little bit
out of order, if he els not sick,
but doesn't feel just right" he
will only be able to enjoy things
in a half-hearted sort of way.
The nearer he is to being perfect
ly well, the nearer will his capac-
ity for enjoyment be perfect. If
this condition doesn't exist,
something ought to be done.

the next moment the line. which was
fastened to the pole, stiffened out with
a jerk, whirling the sboat round and
round, and throwing the boys down vio-
lently into the bottom. When they
picked themselves up they found the
hatbottomed boat dashing along at a
rapid rate. They had secured a Steed,
though not in the manner anticipated.

pulling the boat down dangerously near

to avoid a coral bank, that grew on the

All this was very exciting One boy
held the line by bracing back; another
took an oar and attempted to steer the
craft in its wild race, While the other
boy was merely an enthusiastic passen-
ger. Suddenly the shark turned again,

A SHARK IN HARNESS.
How the Florida Reef Boys Play
With the Sea Monsters.

On the shallow lagoons of the outer
Florida reef the bottom in 10 feet of
water is often pure white so that dark
objects resting upon it stand out with
startling distinctness. One of the fire.
quenters of the reef is a shark, known
as the nurse, a huge fellow, or 10 feet
in length, who seeks the seclusiOn of
the shadows ard apparently goes to
sleep. AT least, pretends to, as he is
seen lying perfectly quiet for hours,
often permitting boat to sail over him.
Naturally so sluggish a fish was east
ly captured. and one day, after watch
ing the sharks swimming around the
lagoon and refusing to leave the white
shallow bottom, il occurred to a party
of boys that the nurse shark would
make an admirable steed, and i'm
mediate plans were formulated to cap
ture one.
The sharks were most plentiful near
a long, narrow island, and here the boys
made their headquarters. Their mode
of transportation was extremely prima-
tive. The boat in which they crossed
from the main island where they lived
was the wooden casing of an arch some
masons had been making, a boat
shaped affair, blunt at both ends. This
had been caullxed and provided with
roWlOckS, and IN II the boys made
frequent excursions. The plan was TO
sail the boat quietly over the sharks,
then lower q large slip moose down and
take one by the head.
The rope and a pair of grains were
thrown into the boat, and, all being
ready, the boys started on their expedi-
zion. They soon sighted black spot,
which told of the presence of the school
of sharks, and a few moments later
were quietly drifting over them. Not a
word was spoken, and the greatest eau
ton was observed, as one of the boys
held the boat il place, while another
lowered the moose. Unfortunately an
oar dropped overheard, and, with a
whirl of their tails, the big fishes were
eff In every direction.
In the excitement of the moment a
third boy seized the spear, and hurled
it at shark that was passing beneath
