Deafness.

Among the few ear troubles that
may bo fittingly spoken Of in this
journal comes, first and foremost, that
greatest of all cor troubles-deafness.
And deafness arises from number OF
causes, only one OF two of which can
be indicated in this paper. A leading
aural surgeon states that numbers OF
people travel hundreds and thousands
of miles to consult him about deaf
ness which is entirely due to collec-
ton of wax in tho cars, which is easily
and safely removable with syringe
and warm water. This experience is
fully borne out in that of other prac'
titioncrs and patients who como to us
in great concern about their deafness
aro sent away perfectly satisfied and
comforted by the application of some
softening material to the wax and the
removal of tic softened mass by care.

This leads to another cause Of deaf
Mesa sore and congested throat,
and enlarged tonsils, quinsy, etc. The
deafness that not infrequently &C.
companies q cold is in many cases
traceable to the blocking of these
little tubes, which convey air and
sound to the ear. Hence a gargle of
alum water with a little cayenne
pepper, may relieve this form Of deaf:
ness by improving the condition Of

Cobalt Mine Richer Than Gold Ono.


A cobalt mine is more desirable
than the richest golden bonanza
Of all of the Rocky Mountains, and
cobalt has been discovered at Grand
Encampment, Wyoming, blythe French
mineralogist, Charles Poulot. Cobalt
is worth SLIGO e pound, and George
Doane, the copper king Of the Grand
Encampment district, has mine
where thousands of tons OF this ore
arc already in sight. Cobalt is the
active principle that colors blue all
porcelain and glass. It is the active
principle Of blue in oil and water
painting. It is one Of the rarest
minerals; Norway, Sweden, and
Bohemia havo in the past furnished
the bulk cf tho worlds supply. The
Doane mine yields $l28 to tho ton in
cobalt. This is only one among
hundreds of copper mines at Grant
Encampmcnt, and if they all contain !,
cobalt Wyoming's new mining district
within a year may be producing more
wealth than any three mining districts
in the world, not excepting Klondike,

THANKS FOR A TYRANT's FALL.

The circling year that brought the rose
And lily hastens to its close;
Not many times the sinking sun
Shall set before its sands are run.
1t brought US hints in moon and star
OF grim and blood envisaged war
Till over Aprils sky of blue
Was spread its pail of inky hue.
For the Great Power who understands
And holds all nations in his hands
Saw tyranny abut our shore.
And stricken hearts his ala implore.
And SO, as by some angel sent.
War came for Just arbitrament,
And naughty SPANS IMPLYING yoke
For purer peace and freedom broke.
For what our warning heroes won
We give a heartfelt benson
And thanks for wars so swift decree
And human gains on land and sea.
For barns well filled and gifts in store.
For Freedoms new extent of shorS
And space, may every grateful voice
ind heart with thanks this day rejoice.

Whether the pumpkin PIE be made at
home by hand or in factory by ma
chinery the effect seems to be the same.
You cannot taste the wheels in the fac
tory made pie because the pumpkin pie
is wheel itself whose magnificence
dwarfs the other wheels into insignifi-
canoe. Furthermore, it is pumpkin pie,
and when you say that you have no
room for hostile argument. The pump
kin pie, whether square, round or OBJ
long, is warranted to adjust itself to
any stomach, the stomach gracefully
exerting all its power Of elasticity that
the pie may be comfortably located, to
assimilate with the turkey, until the
spirit is suffused with dreams of peace
and resignation and the diner feels so
kindly toward everybody and every
thing that he refuses to doubt the ac-
curaoy of ice scales and gas meters,
while the fact that the plumber is re-
garded as moral monstrosity strikes
him as an empty fantasy. Still he
would doubtless prefer to make bar
gain with plumber while clear headed
and IMPLIED. In conclusion, our opin-
ion of the pumpkin at Thanksgiving
tide is such that we can recall no proud
er moment than that at which we were
pointed out as being some pumpkins. ;"

They are surrounded with many of the
delicacies to be found on the tables of
the we'll to do, and on this occasion
Jacky feels that he is rich and must
have the best the markets offer. Speeches
are made and the officers are toasted.

passed at the table, and Jacky and his
friends enjoy every minute of the time.
The afternoon is spent on shore either
in the fields playing games or in the
library, where such games as cards,
checkers and chess are INDUCED in.
When night comes and the bugle sounds
"Stand by your hammocks, p" Jacky is
ready. He has enjoyed every minute of
the day and is satisfied to crawl in''
and dream Of the things the next
Thanksgiving day will have in store for
him. +. A. VERDI.
