REAL sEAKE CBARMERs


The famous snake eharmers Of Indie
are divided into two ciusses, namely the
genuine and the imitation, or the real
clarmer and the tricky but clever
manipulation Of snakes. The former
actually charms the genomous reptiles
into temporary d%ocility and harmless
ness while the latter merely handles
those which have been rendered harm
less bg The extraction Of their fangs.
The real charmef seldom performs in
q large town, because snakes are not AS
numerous there as IN the smaller vile
lagos and the iungies. One oftbis class

Dcnfneas Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear, There ls
only one way to cure deafness, and that j.
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inHamed condition Of the mu-
oous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets iniamed you have a rumbiiug
sound Or imperfect hearing, and when il i
entirely closed deafness IS the result, and
unless 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 catarrh,

with his cabinet and Minister Hatch,
received Major-General Otis and his
staff at the government building yester-
day morning. The garrison and band
turned out in honor of the visitors. The
reception was Of an extremely cordial
nature.
General Otis is uncertain as to his stay
here. 1t is understood he mas discretion
in the event of no orders to the contrary
to proceed to Manila without waiting
for Admiral Miller, of the Philadelphia,
and if the other transports arrive within
a day or two as expected, it is not likely
General Otis will wait for the warship,
much as he and his force would like to
see the flag go up. According to Otie,
Hawaii will have no military governor.
Colonel Barber will be post commander
as long as his regiment remains there;
that is all.
Minister Sewall has received no word
of what action President Mckinley will
take with regard to the temporary ad-
ministration of the islands. Admiral
Miller, he has been officially informed,
will bring full instructions as to the
formaliries which will be observed in
effectlng the change of sovereignty.
General Otis does not look for the arri-
val ofthe Philadelphia carrying the adj
mlral, until the Sd or 4th of August.
SewAll thinks the trssports due here
SHORTLY will very likely bring news of the
determination reacSed by the president

HUMAN BEINGS.

The grandeur and utility of the jury in two recent cases. In St. Louis a man was on trial for forgery. It is re- lated that two of the jurors favored ac- quittal, but ten obstinate men insisted that the defendant was guilty. As a the two men who favored acquittal sat down with two who favored conviction and proceeded to reach a definite con- clusion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused. All night the question was under discussion, and when one of the acquittal men raked down large jackpot it looked as if 1t were going to be shown that the defendant did not commit the crime with which he was charged, but later on the overwhelm- Ing evidence of several full hands" resulted in establishing his guilt. In Georgia verdict of not guilty
 
 of the accused was clearly proved. It was not thought the jury would be ten minutes in recommending him for the penitentiary, but three hours elapsed before the twelve men filed into court again, when a verdict of Mot guilty was read. to the astonishment of all. How could you bring in such a ver- dict after the evidence?' asked the judge. ''Well, jedge," replied the fore | man, "he's man of large family, and lost one leg and two sons in the war!" We sometimes read that jurors are only human beings, and such incidents as the above lend color to the theory.

springs styles in tailor mades are thoroughly disclosed a marked uni- formity in them will be apparent, too, or else the early glove-fitting models are not reliably indicative. Perhaps it will prove, at last, that there is balm for the sore heart of her who cannot afford to tailor rig-that she can profess not to want one because with one she'd look so like other wo- men.

argonauts give up a job or sell out
 business and take on the average $500
 each of their savings or their wealth
 and invest it In mining utensils, pre-
 pared foods clothing and the like, and
 take the same off out of the country. This of course gives great stimulus to
 trade in the lines mentioned for the
 time being. It has precisely the effect
 in kind, if not degree, as if everybody
 in the country possessed of some lit
 tie accumulated wealth should begin
 to mortgage it, to sell it or to realize
 on 1t in some way, and sink the prin-
 cipal in extravagant living. It repre-
 sents an increased consumption at the
 expense of the capital or accumulated
 wealth of the country If the argo-
 nauts altogether bring back nothing, the economic effect of the expedition on
 the country would be the same as that of a $60,O00000 conflagration. It would amount to the destruction without an equivalent of so much of the accumu- lated product of the nations labor If
 they bring back $3O,OO0,OOO of gold accepting gold as desirable equivalent the loss to the nation would be re- duced one-half. If they bring back l $6O, O,0O0,oO0 in gold on the supplies they now take out, the nation might be said | to stand without loss in the bargain. | But the supplies which we have as- | stunned that they will take cannot last l them more than year, and if no more l than 100000 people should go to the fields, the terrible wear and tear and waste involved by the conditions of the enterprise would call for a yearly drain
 on the country of $60,0OO,OOO year at least in food and clothing and the like. l And to leave the country without loss, | Alaska and the Klondike must yield 1 $60000,0o0 of gold year.
 | This is reasonable figuring. But of l course the man who succeeds in get
 ting $1,Ooo,0O0 or so of the gold will not
 feel like troubling himself about what
 1t has cost anybody but himself.
