Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets in
famed 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 condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

The Signature Of william Shakes.
peare That Admiral Luce Had.
At the time Of the New Orleans ex-
position, In the winter Of 1SS4-5, Adj
miral Luce was in command of the
north Atlantic squadron and was sent
down there to add to the gayety Of
nations, which no other old seadog
could do better than lie. Upon his re-
turn the flagship was anchored in New
York bay, where it was visited by
many people. One day a party came
aboard which included among others
a very pretty girl and a very dignified
and learned Englishman. AS Admiral
Luce was entertaining them in his
cabin he asked the pretty girl if she
would like to see an original autograph
of William Shakespeare.
At this the dignified and learned
Nnglishman pricked up his ears and
remarked that he had made a study Of
the autographs Of Shakespeare and
was positive there was no authentic
example in America. Admiral Luce re-
piled that he was very positive his was
authentic and that its g%enuineness had
never been questioned. This made the
Britisher quite mad, and he delivered
a lecture on the fraudulent autographs
and manuscripts that were brought
over to America and exhibited as orig.
inals.
"Well," replied the admiral, II ain
convinced that my autograph Of Will
liam Shakespeare is genuine, and I
am going to have the pleasure Of show
ing it to this young lady" Whereup-
on he went to his desk, took out his
visitors book, turned back a few pages
and then pointed out the signature,
civilian Shakespeare, mayor Of New
Orleans, Jan. -, 1885," The English
man gave q painful gasp and RETIRED

A startling incident of which MI. John
Oliver Of %Philadelphi, was the subject,

in a most dreadful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite-gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Fortunately a friend
advised trying Electric Bitters,' and to
my great joy and surprise, the first bot
tie made a decided improvement . I
continued their use for three weeks.

PATENT BRAKE FOR STEAMSHIPS.

the time the whistle signal sounded the
Glotilde was at an absolute standstill.
Measurement showed that from the
time the brake was let fall the vessel
had travelled only twenty feet.
The idea OF the thing is simplicity
Itself. The brake, which is the inyen-
tlon of noted Hungarian engineer
named Svetkovlch. consists OF large
curved plates of steel attached TO the
stern OF the steamer. The shape can
be varied. but 1t is preferably that OF
4 parachute. 1t can be lowered ut will.
and lnstantaneously. into the water.
The screw of steamship. II should be
explained, when working ahead. causes
a stream of water of terrific force TO
dow back IN the direction from which
the ship has come. BY lowering the
plate OF steel into this stream the
power is obtained necessary to check
the ships way and bring 1t to stand
still independent of the engines.
Since the stream caused by the screw
IS OF greater force when the ship is
Iteaming fast, the brake would work
equally well whether the speed were
twenty knots or ten knots.

Calino, the French Mrs Parting

confusion of his words as by the quaint
ness and unattended plainness of his re-
marks. He entered the service of well
known doctor, who after Calino had
been buying hay for his horses for
awhile, made up his mind that the hay
was worthless.
'That is very poor hay that you've
been buying" the doctor complained.

The Right KIND of Gloves.

A good story comes from an up
country mission station Mt the Cape.
The occasion was a native wedding.
and, as usual. the bride was attired in
white hat, white dress and white
shoes, but great surprise was OCCASION
ed by the fact that she wore black
gloves. The native women on such
occasions try to be quite la mode,
and there was a good deal of Inquiry
about the girls departure from the
usual custom OF dressing entirely In
white. The mystery was explained
when she told the clergyman's wife
that she had studied an English fash
ion paper. and had there read that the
custom now was to wear tiesh-eolored
gloyes.-London Tit-Bits.

came his faetotum, who was both parish
