Deafness Cannot be Cured.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inf1amed you have a rumbling sound of
imperfect hetring, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube be restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inaam

the merest justice, and out of a decent
ought to do it.
That, however, is not the opinion OF
most OF our contemporaries either in
Great Britain or Europe. They are cry
ing aloud t o Washington TO be "gener-
III in the hour of victory" to restore
to Spain, if not Porto Rico-the value
of which is a naval station they under
stand-at all events the Philippines.

means that Spain should recover full
authority over 5000, 900 dark persons
whom she has for 300 years so govern
ed that, as Mr.. Foreman testifies, the
children fly with shrieks if they see a
"Castilian." and should GOV it at the
very moment when every virtue as well
as every vice in a Spaniard will incline
him toward severity in punishment.
He will be full of loyalty to his country
and full of vengeance against rebels
who have insulted her, and in the
strength of both feelings he will strike
as Spaniards struck in Peru. 1t means
that Americans. having encouraged
them to revolt, are to hand over 2,000,-
600 of Tagals to a nation which regards
their revolt not only as a crime-that
is usual-but as an unparalleled inso-
lence calling aloud for chastisement. 1t
means that the United States, which

NO FALSE

We prefer, like most civilized per-
sons, peace to war, but some OF the ar
suments just now employed to induce
America to make a quick peace with
Spain strike US as not only unfounded,
but profoundly immoral. What did
America go to war for? First Of all, to
terminate SPANS authority over her
colonies, which Americans believed TO
be tyranical, destructive Of human hap
pfnees, and in all ways bad. Whether
their evidence in support Of that belief
was good, as we believe 1t to have been,
or as bad AZ average Spaniards assert,
or AZ accidental and temporary as
many thouehtful spaniards maintain,
has little to do with the present sub
feet. The Americans believed the
charge heartily, and so believing went
to war which, to all human appearance.
will end IN giving them the power to
terminate the misrule which so atfront-
ed their c~onsciences. A moraliet would
say. one would think. that. having be-
gun 70 great q work. they were bound
to carry II through; that they had con-
tracted weighty, even terrible, obliga-
t1ons toward the ~colonists Of Spain, and
were bound to discharge those obliga-
lions without thinking too much Of the
consequences to themselves. They can.

Instances That Prove Their Possession Of
the Computing Faculty.
Several years ago there lived in Gin
cinnati IL mule which was employed by
a street railway company in hauling
ears up a steep meme. tbs animal
was mitchell in front Of the regular
team and unhitchCd as soon as tho car
arrived at the top of tho hill. 1t made
q certain number of trips i'll the fore
noon Il have forgotten the number, but
will say 80 for the sake of convcnierce)
and q like number in the afternoon,
resting for an hour at noon. As Don as
the mule completed its fftieth trip it
marched away to its stable without or
ders from its driver.
To show that it was not Influenced
by the sound of the factory whistles and
bells the following remarkable action
on the part Of this animal is vouclled
for by the superintendent of the line,
who gave me these data: On Il certain
occasion, duringa musical festival, this
mule was transferred to the night shift,
and the very instant it completed its
fiftieth trip it started for the stables. 1t
took the combined efforts of several
men to make it return to its duty. At
night there were no bells or whistles to
inform the creature that quitting
time" had como. 1t had counted the
trips, and having finished its full quota
of 90 it thought that tho time for rest
and food had arrived.
Some monkeys give unmistakable evil
dences of Inc possession by them of the
computing faculty. In 1889 l made the
acquaintance of IL very intelligent chin,
panzee which could count as high as
three. That this was not a trick sug.
gestcd by sensual impulses l had ample
opportunity of satisfying myself. The
| owner of the animal would leave the
room, no one being present but myself,
and when l would call for two marbles
or one marble or three marbles, as tho
case might be, the monkey would grave
ly hand over the required number. Ro'
names mentions an ape which coulG
count three, the material used in hi;
experiment being straws from the ami
mails cage. Wolff, Darwin, Forbes anc
Hartman also give instances of the con
putting faculty in apes and monkeys -
