ACWORTH.

The battle of the hay season is on and has
been raging for several days with marked
success for our forces. There is no lack of
supplies. but there is as usual a scarcity of
good reliable help such as the farmer would
be glad to have. The abundance of old hay
in the barns and the still greater abundance
of the present crop has rendered the sale of
standing grass almost impossible. There are
several farms owned by people who cannot
cut the grass themselves, on which the har-
vestipg of the hay crop has not as yet been
provided for.

Deafness cannot be Cured

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 infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have a rumblipg
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 condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an intiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that

vile people were he'd last spring for the pur-
pose of taking some action to induce the rail-
road company to extend its line through
Maple and Chestnut streets to the waterhouse
at the corner of Chestnut and Locust streets,
and a sum of money was pledged for that
purpose, but after giving the matter due con-
sideration the railroad company did not feel
justified in making the ne cessary outlay. The
situation is now changed, however. and the
change is due principally to the offer of Gen.
j. J. Estey to give to the road for five years
the use of the pine and chestnut groves
which are situated about 1000 feet beyond the
Chestnut street Warehouse. Several times
since the present road was built it has been
demonstrated that the common at West Brat

the road than any other attraction except the

The schnapper of Australia.

The king of Australian fishes is I'M

the inhabitants of these colonies are not

the schnapper Is an ugly fish. His color
Is good, but his proportions are not fair as
he lies on the slab of the fishmonger. In
your first introduction to a ten pound
schnapper on the end of your line he strikes
you as an interesting acquaintance of
whom you would like to know more. On
your subsequent intimacy at table you for

ever gibbous and unsymmetrical, having
q strange lump on his head, which gives
him startled appearance. This fish is al
ways caught with rod and line, and the
manner of his taking is peculiar.
The home of the schnapper is in the
deep sea, generally a considerable distance
from the shore and In the immediate
neighborhood Of shelving reef. Good
schnapper fishing may, however, be had
from the rocks Of the mainland or an is

hundreds who go forth to fish for schnap-

Judgment For PLAINTIFF"

An ambitious young lawyer paid his
first visit to country court holding its
session not very far from New Orleans not
long since, says The Times Democrat. He
went to represent a big railroad in suit
brought by countryman to recover the
value of an OK which departed this life in
vain attempt to hold up the limited
mail.
The question before the court was one
OF identification, and the countryman had
testified that he knew the OK by his color
and the flesh marks.
The young city lawyer rose and with
dignity said: If your honor please there
can be no question that this witness has
sworn falsely when he testified that an OK
can be recognized by his color. was a
stenographer before / became a lawyer,
and for two days, your honor drawing out
his notebook), have taken detailed de-
scription of every OK that passed the hotel,
and am prepared to swear as an expert

"You are trifling with the dignity of
this court, sir" sternly said the Judge,

said the clerk. "There hain't been but one
yoke OF oxen in this town in a week. Old

Judge, and the city lawyer, glad to escape
the wrath CT his honor, took his departure,

The Family Table.

Confucius many years ago advised his
disciples thus Eat at your own table as
you would eat at the table of king"
There are many reasons for the observance
OF some formality at the daily board. How
otherwise are the children in the family to
learn the correct usages of good society In
this respectY To allow child to demand
and obtain his roast while the other men,
bers of the family are taking their soup is
to create in him an impatience of restraint
and to deprive him Of the due appreoia-
ton OF things done decently and In order.
No matter how simple the dinner, It is
well to have it In courses and with the &C.
compartments Of careful serving and
dainty table appointments. The house
furnishers show as attractive patterns in
the cheaper as the more expensive ware.
1t takes only little seeking to furnish the
table with dishes Of dainty design. Says
sensible writer "A meal served on the
bias Is not an aid to digestion"

PAT AND THE ADMIRAL.
A Smoke Which Did Not Get the Lahore,
Into Trouble.

A strict rule promulgated by every sue
cessive commandment at the navy yard pro-
hibits smoking on Mare island under the
most stringent penalties. Admiral Miller,
sauntering one afternoon through dis
tant part of the island, came upon an Irish
laborer digging a trench and smoking a
short black pipe. He was putting away
serenely, unconscious of regulations and
with evident enjoyment. The admiral,
who was in undress uniform, stopped.
Don't you know sir, that smoking Is
absolutely prohibited in the navy yard?"
he said
The Irishman looked up and, with a
kindly smile, answered.:
"lndade that's thrue, but here am be
meself, wild not sowl TO say wurrud to,
and thought I'd take puff or two to re-
lave the silence"
The regulations are explicit sir, !" re-
buked the admiral, "and the silence does
not excuse you. What's your name, sir?"
And who may We be anyway" asked
the Irishman.
"I'm Admiral Miller, SIR"
All, tbs the new admiral We are IT'S
the fat job ye have, admiral. Be careful
to kape It, Me names Pat McGinnis. "
Report at my office this afternoon with
out fail, McGinnis," said Miller, who
could hardly keep from laughing. At s
o'clock poor Patrick, who had made up
his mind there would be the devil to pay,
tramped over to headquarters, and the or
derby ushered him into the dreaded pres
ence of the admiral, who said:
Sit down, Pat"
Pat sat down. Miller touched bell.
The orderly appeared.
Bring bottle of champagne and two
glasses, he said.
Not word was spoken until the wine
arrived. The admiral filled the two glasses
and pushed one over toward the Irishman.
Pat" he said 'give me the pipe.
You II not need it again.
The mystified laborer obeyed.
Now, " said the admiral, drink hearty,
Pat, but you'll keep your job as long as
! keep mine"
Nor is this the first situation saved by
Irish wit. San Francisco Wave.
