They Count in Their Sleep.

How fremen manage to hear in their
sleep the right signal, while they sleep
right through any number that con-
Germs the next company, not them, is
one ofths mysteries that will probably
always remain unsolved.
II don't know" said Department
Chief Bonner, when I asked him once.
II guess it j. the same with every body.
You hear what yon have to hear. There
is a gong right over my bed at home,
and hear every stroke Of it, but l don't
hear the baby. My wife hears the baby
II 1t rs much as slirs in its crib. but not

Very likely he Is right. The fact that
the fireman can hear and count correct
" the strokes Of the gong in his sleep
has meant life to many hundreds. and
no end of property saved; for it is in the
early moments of q fire that il can be
dealt with suinmarily.
recall one instance in which the
failure to interpret a signal properly,
or the accident Of taking n wrong road
to the fire, cost life, and, singularly
enough, that of the wife Of one Of the
firemen who answered the alarm.
1t was all so pitiful, so tragic, that it
has leit an indelible impression on my
mind. 1t was the fire at which Patrick
F. Lucas earned the medal for that year
by snatching five persons out Of the
very jaws of death in a Dominick street
tenement The alarm signal rang in
the hook-and-ladder eompany's quart
ers in North Moore street, but was
either misunderstood or they made q
wrong start. Instead of turning east
to West Broadway, the truck turned
west, and went galloping toward Green
wich street.
1t was only few seconds, the time
that was lost, but it was enough. Fire
man Murphy's heart went up into his
throat when, from his seat on the truck
as it flew tOwaad the fire, be saw thati
was his own home that was burning.
Up on the fifth floor he found his wife
penned in. She died in his arms as he
carried her to the fire-eseape. The fire,
for once, had won in the race for life.

Deafness Can Not be Cured

by local applications rs they can not
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbIing sound or
imperfect hearing, and whenit is en-
tirely 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 for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that can not be cared by Halls

Ths Use OF Lima.

Many farmers do not know how to
use lime They add it to the manure
heap and also pile it on spots in the
field, where it sometimes remains for
weeks before it IS spread over the sur
face. 1t is true that tie manure in the
heap will be decumposed by the use of
lime and will consequently be rendered
fine and fit for application to the land,
but lime does this by causing chemical
reactions, ammonia being generated
and allowed to escape into the atmOs-
pbere. Where plenty of dry dirt and
other absorbent material is used, and
the manure is kept moist, the loss is
less, but the proper way to apply lime
is not by adding it to the manure, but
upon the land, on which 1t should be
broadeasted. If left in heaps on the
field it causes bare spots to show for
years. Get stone lime, let it air-sIake
until il becomes fine and then apply il
to the fields without putting it in piles.
Store it under cover till it slakes. If
placed On the land and allowed to be-
come wet in piles it loses some of-its
properties, As large portion will be
changed TO carbonate of lime, which is
less active than lime in its caustic con-
dition.

Bufalo Bills Story.

Buffalo Bill tells a pleasant tale Of
jumping on his fsvorite horse, "Brig-
ham, and riding out of camp at the
alarm Of a herd of buffalo. 1t was at 8
time when he and his comrades were
short Of meat, and consequently long
ing for buffalo steak. He says:
While l was riding toward the buffa-
lOes l saw five horsemen from the fort,
who were evidently going out for .
chase. They proved to be newly arriv-
ed officers, a captain and his lieuten-
ants.
"Hello, my friend, (" sung out the cap
tain, II see that you are after the same
game that weare."
"Yes, sir,n said /.
They scanned my cheap outfit very
closely, and as my horse looked like a
work-horse and had on only a blind
bride, they evidently considered me a
green hand at hunting.
''Do you expect to catch those bu fla
loes on that Gothic steed?" laughed the
captain.
~ hope so, by pushing hard enough
on the reins," was my reply.

I pulled the blind bride of my horse,
and he, a trained hunter, knew exactly
what to do. He started at the top of

rear buffalo. I raised my gun, fired
and killed the animal at the first shot.
