muslc shops on Oeean Liners.

From a single venture five years ago small shops for the sale of musical in- strumeuts have become 9 regular thing On tho large liners that sail from Eng land to India. Australia and .. ... c1-uz-
 From the beginning the music shop was quite a success. Perhaps most of it's trade runs in the direction of cheap banjos, which are bought by almost ev- cry man on board before the voyage as means of passing the time.
 Valuable violins are often more easily disposed of at sea than on shore, while even pianos meet with at least four or five customers each voyage, many peo- pie disposing of their own instruments before starting and being readily per suaded into buying others to avoid the middle1nan on landing.
 The seabound music shop agent usual ly travels first class, and as he is gener- ally possessed of gentlemanly manners and glib tongue he meets with better opportunities for pushing his wares than he would get under ordinary clrcum- stances. s.-London Globe.

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 in famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachain Tube. When this tube gets infiamed YOU have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, 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, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness tcaused by catarrhl that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir cularS, free.

THE INDULGENT FATHER.
An Account of One That Colonel Calliper
 Knew In StorkviIle Center, Vt.

An Account of One That Colonel Calliper Knew In storkville Center, Vt.
 Speaking of indulgent fathers, :" said Colonel Calliper, reminds me of an old friend of mine named Silas Zing- tock, who formerly lived in Storkville Centre, Vt. Once when his little son Rufus wanted very much to fly kite at time when he was not we'll enough to be permitted to go out MT. Zingtock r1gged up a contrivance whereby the youngsters desire could be gratified in the house. He set up a blower in the back parlor, belted it to an engine in the cellar below, and when everything was all ready he started the fan and produced a current of air that was ample to float kite.
 Tt was great fun for young Rufus to sit in the back parlor and fly his kite in the front, and for time everything went all right, but on an unfortunate day Rufy, not satisfied with the amount or wind the fan was blowing, undertook to make it blow harder, which is some thing that Mir. Zingtock had expressly forbidden. It seems that the blower and the boiler and machinery were all much larger than were needed to produce a breeze sufficient to float kite here, but MT. Zingtock, who, though rich, was also thrifty, had had a chance to buy this plant second hand cheaper than new plant of smaller size would have cost, and so he took 1t and had it set up, and every morning he used to adjust it so that if vnnld not ro alorc cc--

cautioned his son never to touch it.
 "About one minute after Rufus did touch it on this morning when he want cd it to blow harder the big fan was go- ing at a gait that set up a hurricane in the parlors. It blew the kite against one of the windows and broke that the first thing, and within minute the pictures were off the walls and their glasses smashed, tables were upset, bric-a-brao was knocked into flinders, and the whole parlor was wreck, with the big blower going at top speed and churnint everything there into fragments anf blowing the debris out of the windowk
