Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi-
tion of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachan Tube When this tube Is in
perfect hearing and when It is entirsly
closed, Deafness is the result. and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by ca:
tarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition OF the mucous surfaces.

He tried the best physicians but without
being benefited and he used several specific
rheumatic cures, but was not helped. About
one year and six months ago he read in
this paper Of case somewhat similar to
his which was cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and concluded to try this remedy
After taking the first hox he felt some
what better, and after using three boxes,
the pains entirely disappeared, the dizzi-
ness left him, and he has now for over a
year been entirely free from all his former
trouble and enjoys better health than he
has had since his boyhood.
He is loud in his praises Of DR.. Williams

That Seed Distribution.-The gov
eminent seeds. The Rural New Yorker
says: The free seed distribution Is as
much of bugaboo as ever. Secretary
Wilson was inclined to distribute the
seeds according to the original design,
which was to import and distribute
new, rare and promising specialties.
But the comptroller Of the treasury has
decided that the language of the ap-
preparation as passed by congress is
mandatory, and that the only course
left open to the secretary is to adver-
tise for seeds all put up ready for dis
tribution, and the commonest kind OF
seeds at that. He can't even buy the
seeds and have them put up for dis
tribution. The whole thing is farce.
The writer received some of these
seeds the past spring, as he has for
several years, and among them were
varieties grown by market gardeners
for the past forty years. But the sys-
tenn must tickle the farmers, as 1t must
please the congressman who think
that they can buy the farmers for a
pinch Of cabbage or onion seed.

Annual Rings on Forest Trees.-In
all the timber trees of the temperate
portion of our country the wood of the
stem is laid on in sheets or layers
which, on any cross section, appear as
so many concentric rings. Generally
these rings are sufficiently well defined
to be readily counted, and, since only
one is formed each growing season,
they furnish very convenient record
of the particular cross section, and, il
properly chosen, of the age Of the tree.
Viewing a cross section of the stem of
a pine, fir, cedar, etc., these concentric
yearly rings appear as alternate mar
row bands or lines of lighter darker
color, the dark line, or summer wood"
occupying the outer portion of any one
ring and being sharply contrasted
against the lightest portion of the in
ner, lighter, or Spring wood" part OF
the next ring.

Foreign View of American Agricul-
ture.-The French delegate Monsieur
Zolla, who is investigating American
agriculture, is delighted with the in
telligence of American farmers and the
great variety and abundance of their
farm stock and agricultural products.
He praises our agricultural schools as
superior to those in France. He says:
"These schools are numerous and they
are conducted in splendid buildings,
with every convenience; that the ap-
paratus for teaching the best methods
of dairy work, of stock feeding, and
of general farm economy are complete
and admirable. You spend so much
money on these schools. But then you
have it to spend, and we are compare

Strange Work of Lightning. The
London Lancet reports the remarkable
case Of the killing of Major Jameson
by lightning in a field near Guildford,
on August rs. There was but sin
gle flash and clap of thunder. The
victim was found lying on his face,
dead, with his clothing torn to frag-
ments and scattered widely around
him. Even his undergarments were
rent to ribbons and scattered over the
ground. The soles of his boots were
stripped OFF, brass eyelet holes were
torn out, and nails forced from their
places.

Trees and Men.-A single tree, ac-
cording to a computation in Knowl-
edge is able, through it's leaves, to
purify the air from the carbonic acid
arising from the respiration of con-
siderable number Of men, perhaps
dozen or even score. The volume of
carbonic acid exhaled by human be-
ing in the course of twenty-four hours
is put at about 100 gallons; but by
Boussingault's estimate, single
square yard of leaf surface, counting
both the upper and the under sides of
the leaves, can, under favorable cir
cumstances, decompose at least a gal
lon of carbonic acid in day. One
hundred square yards of leaf-surface
then would suffice to keep the air pure
for one man, but the leaves Of a tree
of moderate size present a surface of
many hundred square yards.

soiling or Pasturing. There is mo-
question in the minds, Of those who
have tried it of the great saving made
by the practice of soiling. Expert
ments recently made at the Michigan
experiment station show that about
four times as much food is obtained
from meadow allowed to mature hay
as from a field pastured. In 'soiling the
difference would probably not be so
great, owing to the fact that the grass
or peas, or alfalfa, or whatever is
grown for the purpose, is cut before it
fully natures, but even then from two
to three times the number of animals
can be supported by soiling as on pas
ture.-Ex.T Fs ~

A SHELTER PUT IN.
Prospecting Ends and Actual Mining
 Begins on Little BruShy.

The Texas & Arkansas Mining Com pany operating on Little Brushy creek seven miles southeast of Mena, have become convinced, after doing good deal of prospecting and having a number of assays and mill runs made, that they have gold and silver in pay ing quantities As result they have purchased complete smelter and are putting it in at their mine on Lit tie Brushy creek. It is water jacket smelter with a capacity of twenty tons per day.
 The stockholders in the company are mostly gentlemen from Marshall, Texas, who became interested iI rs- ports of discoveries made here and formed company to begin pros pecting. Their results have been very satisfactory, and although only a small depth has been reached, the mill runs made give from Sl2 to SEQ per ton in gold and silver.
 The gentlemen are very confident that their mine will prove a great sue cess. The results will be watched very closely by all who are interested in the development of this country.
