the world Is making rapid progress. Not many years ago all physicians pronounced consumption an incurable disease. To-day large proportion of people recognize that it is a distinctly u~able disease. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures o8 per cent. of all cases of consumption. 1t has stood the test for thirty years. Thou sands of people who were given up by their doctors, and had lost all hope owe their lives to this marvellous remedy. It acts directly on the lungs, driving out all i'm purities and disease germs. It restores the appetite, corrects all disorders of the diges- ton, strengthens the weak stomach, makes the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food perfect, invigorates the liver, purifes the blood and tones the nerves; It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It does not make habby flesh like cod liver oil, but the firm, muscular tissue of abso- Iute health An honest dealer will not offer you an inferior substitute for the sake of little added profit.

to be introduced early in the next ses-

THE "NECATlv :" EAR.
strange Inability of Some People to Tn"
derstand Human Language.


derstand Human Language.
Mrs. Lounsbury of Chicago, who
for ten years has been training pupils
of deaf.mute asylum, has decided to
devote herself to the education Of the
negative" ear. While at the asylum
she Il SC pvered that one of her pupils
could hear, but could not appreciate
the different shades Of tone. She
studied and experimental, with the
result that she found children classed
as deaf-mutes who were afflicted only
with sort Of "color blindness Of the
ear" that prevented them from dis
tinguishing the different tones of the
sounds they heard. She called the
alhiction 1.-THE negative ear" Says
the Chicago Tribune;
Ina California institution for deaf
mites Mrs Lounsbury discovered nine
children possessed of the negative"
ear. They could hear ia we'll ~ any
one, hear even whisper, but they
were utterly unable to discern shades
of tone. and so conld not understand
language.
In an eastern school she once found
young woman who had spent almost
her whole life in the institution, had
learned the sign language and lip
reading, and yet could hear perfectly.
Had this fact been discovered early
in life, six months or a'year's train
ing would have fitted her to enter tho
public schools and obtain an education
with other children but she had never
made sound and her parents thought
her deaf and mute.
Among the pupils afflicted in this
way now receiving instruction in
speech there are two particularly in
teresting cases. One il that Of u
small boy of twelve years, whose par
ents thought him an idiot, and whose
language is 80 twisted and filled with
substitutions of incorrect sounds that
no one who has not made study Of
his attempts can understand what no
says.
Yet he is bright, active and talka-
tive, and thinks he can talk--a COM
mon delusion among persons 40
troubled. lie has been studying now
only two weeks, but already his speech
is becoming better, and one or two
words spoken in every sentence are
clearly spoken.
The other case il that Of young
man, who had grown to manhood
speaking language wholly unintelli-
gible to others, but without finding
ont what was the matter with him. In
month he has learned to talk fairly
well, aud in few months more will
be in position to enter upon active
business life.
The method Of curing the mega
tive" eur is no less strange than the
trouble itself. 1t is, Of course, im.
possible to teach the child through
words spoken by others, or it would
have learned in the natural manner,
Instead, the process is reversed. The
child is taught to speak correctly by
instructing it in the positions Of the
mouth aud tongue, and the words
spoken are made to teach the ear.
The child's own tongue cultiyates its
ear. No other tongue can do ii.

of the first lieutenant, waving his cap
and shouting give la Patria" as he
was carried to the beach.
The sea lions cub had insisted on
going with his father, and before his
frantic mother could reach him, he
was in the boat under way to the flag

was without other clothes than those
he had on, and he was rugged out in
suits made Of canvas by the delighted
sailmaker.
Before the first engagement Lord
Cochrane locked his son in the after
cabin, but the kid was not his son for
nothing. He wormed himself through
the quarter gallery window, joined
his father on deck and, strange az it
may seem, was allowed to stay there.
He stood there in his miniature mid
shipman' uniform and handed powder
tins up and down to the gunners.
Presently shot killed the marine
next him, and he was covered with
blood, but he rushed instantly to his
father, crying:
~ am not hurt, papa; the shot did
not touch me. Jack says the ball is
not made that can kill mammals boy"
After that he was ordered below
and carried away screaming, but vic.
tory ran in the family, so to speak, and
he got on deck and was at last allowed
to stay there till the lastgun was fired.
