Curious Copper Mining.

The United States consul at Santiago
de Cuba reports that about nine miles
from hat town there are copper mines,
having shafts from 900 TO 1900 feet
deep, which were regularly worked I'M
til 1867, since which time they have
been abandoned and have become filled
with water, all but 800 feet of their
depth being below sea-level. But in
later years copper was obtained from
the drowned mines in an interesting
manner. The water with which they
are filled holds a considerable quantity
of copper in solution, and this water
was pumped out into tanks. Scraps of

Deafness, Cannot Rs cnr.a

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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, 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 con-
dltion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of 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 (caused by catarrh that

Turk and Armenian.

It must oe admitted that the Armen.
ians are not an easy people to get on
with. They are distinguished by an en-
eIey, a busy-ness and a fondness for
acquisition that are almost super
occidental. They are selfish, personally
unattractive and strikingly lacking in
traits of nobility and self-respect. The
average Armenian is unquestionably
of sharp intelligence so far as small
things go. The saying is that it takes
ten Jews to outwit one Greek and ten
Greeks TO outwit one Armenian. He is
unquestionably extremely irritating to
the quietistic. resigned, fatalistic Turk.
The two have little in common. The
Armenian is clearly a pestilent fellow
and the Turk has decided to get rid of
him. The Armenian is a persistent
source of unrest. He is a kicker"
What men do with "kickers," in the oc-
cidental scheme of things, is to vote
them down. The Turks knows no other
way than to club them down, cut their
heads off or sink them in the Sea of
Marmora. He is applying the triune
recipe with patient zeal as occasion of.

The time of the year is here when
the farmer must prepare to store his
roots for winter use. While of course
a cold storage house is the desirable
thing, yet to many farmers this is an
impossible opportunity, for the rea-
son that most farms are so far
from a cold storage plant hat it
would not pay to haul the roots there.
Besides, the farmer frequently wants
to store roots that he intends to use

The wide tires seem to be gradually
