As this gentleman was recognized as one of the eleveresG members of his profession. his appearance was looked forward to with much interest. At last it came. The stage attendants carried On to the stage three dressed figures, seated in chairs, as usual. The professor followed and then went through an astonishing perform ence. No one could detect a muscle of his face move during the Imaginable dia- logues, and the changes of voice seemed marvellous.

Hou to Drink Water.

There are few people, we think, who thoroughly realize the value of water as a beverage or who know how to ob- tain the greatest advantage from it The effects produced by the drinking of water, as pointed out by our excellent contemporary, Health, vary with the manner in which 1t is drunk. If, for instance, 6 pint of cold water be sgal- lowed as a large draft. or if it be taken in two portions with a short interval between, certain definite results follow --effects which differ from those which would have resulted from tine same quantity taken by siping. Slipping is powerful stimulant 70 the circulation. thing which ordinary drinking is not
 During the act of sipping the action of the nerve which shows the beats of the heart is abolished. and as @ conse- guence that organ contracts much more rapidly, the pulse beats more quickly and the circulation in various parts of tine body is increased. In addition to this, we find that the pressure under which the bile is secreted is raised by the slipping of fluid And here is a point which might we'll be noted by our read CTS:
 A glass of cold water. slowly slipped. will produce, greater aoceleration of the pulse for time than will a glass of wine or spirits taken at draft In this connection it may not be out of place to mention that sipping cold water will often allay the craving for alcohol in those who have been in the habit of talk ing too much of it and who may be en- deavoring to reform, the effect being probably due 10 the stimulant action of the sippiug.

How n.akrsp.e, strike. |. Maori.

A Maori chief who lost GAO through a white storekeeper going through the bankruptcy court has given the follow ing lucid exposition of this particular branch of British jurisprudence: ''The pakeha (white mann who wants to be- come plkarapu Cinsolvent) goes into business and gets lots of goods and does not pay for them. He then gets all the money ke can together, say e, 900, and puts all of it except e5 away where no one can find it With the e5 he goes to a judge of the court and tells him he wants to become pakarapu-
 "The judge then calls all the lawyers together, likewise all the men to whom the pakeha owes money, and be says. This man is pakarapu. but he wishes to give you all that he has got, and SO be has asked me to divide this e5 among you all. The judge thereupon gives tie lawyers e4 and the remaining el to the other men. Then the pakeha goes home. "-London Chronicle.

ANOTHER BLAZER.

The statehood and silver relief fol Arizona, that Colonel Wilson pro poses to hypnotize congress with when he goes there, is assuming a ludicrouS phase. 4 few days ago in a private speech before a select few, our delegate elect made the asser- ton that when he arrived in Wash: irgton it would be his policy to block the administration from giy- ing any government to our new col onies until statehood was given to Arizona. We do not believe the Colonel will deny this. and would ask the democratic free silver and sure statehood journal to enlighten its readers as to MT. Wilson's modus opeIandi, where and when he said it. We presume the Colonel intends to use his head for block, however.

Jones wss yet in the army on the day of cleo tion, then hs could not be elected as district attorney, and as he is yet in the army We presume there will be an effort made to prevent bis assum- ing the office of district attorney. This will bring the matter to the courts for decision. The friends of MT Jones are claiming that if he s out of the army on the lst day of January he will be eligible 10 the olEice.-Bulletin. According to the Courier this morning, Lieut.. Jones is between the devil and the deep sea. He wants to scrap for Uncle Sam, and he al.o wants to hold a civil of-
 ice, that be also made a a"scrap" for. In other words he wants to strike out with his left and upper cut with his right hand on any thing in the line of au enemy, either civil or mi. i.ary. Mir. Jones' position seems to be very enyiable on, and we know of no other way for his wrathful az petite to be appeased than by send ing him to Washington to "scrap" or stsishooi and silver. He will certainly have his hands full there and his warlike disposition will be fully sltiated.

Harvest Home Festival,

There are several needy families in the city, and in order to help them Wm. Greenwood suggested that a harvest home festival be ar ranged and the citizens be invited to contribute. To the appeal there was liberal response of four, ap- Ples, potatoes, beans, sugar, bacon and many delicacies, which were tastefully displayed in the Method ist church last night. The chnrch was decorated with stacks of corn stalks, strings of apples and cran- berries, horn of plenty, and a very pretty motto "Give Thanks" made of corn. wheat and hay. Thirty children sang the Gleeners song and the whole service emphasized the thanksgiving sentiment.

GOLD BOOMING

Ina recent issue the San Frai - cisco Examiner, golG democratic paper m it's political continent gives the folloNjHg attlc.' leader in its editorial go umns:
 There is some exceptionally ln- teresting matter iu the .epsrt of the Director of the Mat f'r the year IS9s. It appea.s the worlds gold output since the begiau ng of the the year Las been S17JODOOo as follows:
 South America. .....- S'0'oOO-ueU Australia. ---.--.' o0iOO'o'O United States .......... oOUoJ'O U hNSSia. s.--.- --.-' Other countries. 40,UJO,VoO For the preceding year the yield was S237 OOOOO0, and since 1898 the production has increased from Slls- OOOOOO. The director estimates ] that next year the figures will oe at least S3O0OOO,OOO. He directs al tentieu to the great change gong on as 10 gold mining because of modern machinery and improved methods of handling ore, and ob- serves:
 Ten years ago this machinery and present methods were practically unknown. Ore that ten years ago would have been thrown away as vslueless by reason of the compar- atively small percentage of gold l conta.nsd is now made to yield a handsome profit. Mineral contain ing so small an amount of gold as SZ 10 the ton IS now handled with profit. Three dollars worth of gold on a basis of Sl6 to the ounce, a piece about the size of a hve-cent nickie, weighing less than one-hith of an ounce. is 6 very small percent age of yield from ton of ore, and the average IS much above this. Tie supply of this low grade ore, run ming from S2.50 to s6 per ton, is ap- parently inexhaustible. There are immense quantities of such rock in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, California, and other states.
 This is all strictly true. A great enlargement is being made. Take the operations about Juneau, Tor in- stance. There ore is handled every day which could not have been touched with profit few years ago, and the installa ion of more stamps is getting to be so common as to excite scarcely any comment. Tbere appears to be DO reason why the output of the yellow metal should not steadily increase for many a year, even though no important dis coveries be made m localities whose va.ue is at present undetermined.

Deafness Cannot be 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 constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in6amed condition of the mu- cous liningof the Eustachian tube, When this tube gets infismed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be etaken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catsrrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Cstarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free.
