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 constitu-
| tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
| famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inham-
ed 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 catarrn,
| which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

The annual rowing regatta will take
place September 9Th at Pearl Harbor.
rhe races this year will be between the
crews of the Myrtle and Healani clubs.
There is an excellent spirit i'm both
clubs, and training has been going on
steadily for weeks.
1t is possible that neither clubs crews
will go down to Pearl Harbor to remain
in training preceding the regatta. The
difficulty is in obtaining suitable quar-
ters. All the available cottages are
rented and to secure one would be sim
ply as a favor or courtesy to the clubs.
While it is not yet definitely decided
that the crews will not go into training
quarters it is quite probable that in
stead they will go down to Pearl Harbur
daily for several days prior to the races
returning the same evening. This Will
save the expense of training quarters
and at the same time will insure prop
er living, regularity of habits and full
sleep.
! Last year the Myrtle's training quar-
ters were so far from the water that
| the men had to walk a long distance
after their exercise before getting to
| their quarters. A plan is now being
talked Of which it is believed will over
come the difficulties in the way Of prop
er quarters. 1t is that the Rowing AS
! ISOLATION shall join with the yachtsmen
in proposition to the railroad compa-
ny that it build either one building or
| three cottages and a shed for the boats
and rent them to the clubs, the latter
guaranteeing a return on the invest
ment. This will provide suitable quar-
ters Each club can fit up its own tC
suit its own taste and club spirit, and il
would tend to make the place resort
which would add considerably to the
passenger earnings of the road.
While it is too late to make this ar
rangement available for this year, ever
if the arrangement is made. 1t will star
it 50 that it can be available for mex
year.
No definite assignments have beer
made for any OF the crews, though o
course, the respective captains know
about what men will take the positions
Training in both clubs has been inter
fered with considerably by slight ill
nesses. and indispositions among tn
crews. But this has not interfereC
with the keen spirit of sport and goo,
races are promised. The suggestion
has been made that the Rowing Asso
citation committee should see to it tina
more ample seating capacity is provid
led than was last year.

That Horse Problem Again.

To the Editor Of the DisDatch:
Thanks for your consideration Of the
within problem, but there are so many
negatives to the $50 answer that we
would be obliged TO you II you
would examine again your conclusion.
We think you make a mistake In saying
the owner of the horse loSes $40 In the
first transaction, when he gains tnet
much The profit on an article is the
difference between the cost and its sellirg
price. and the horse really cost him
amount paid OUT $50 and as lie sells for
$50 the first time and 500 che second,
he gains, respectively, SO and $40, max
ing $50 in all. Again, he only pays cut
$50 and winds up with $40 IN his pocket.
The argument IS that be would hardly
have sold him for 500 IL the horse cost
him that amount. unless he was defective.
II the latter were true he would never
have bought him again. except at
a discount, which means SO in his pocket
We think tho $50 people have the best Of
the argument PHlLOSOF HER
In the answer TO the query referred
to our first statement is entirely correct,
but not the last.
The man sells his horse for $50; takes
$50 Of this $50 and buys him back. The
man retains the other SO OF the 800, and
then sells the horse for 500. which. put
with the SO retained. makes $40 he has
at the end. AS he had so at first, he, Of
course, gains $40.

SOSIMUS.
Stamford, Conn. July 18th.
The year 1896 was a leap year, and tho
next one will be 19Ol-eisht years laeer.
This is on account Of the ingenious de-
vice for maintaining as nearly as can be,
concordance between the civil or Gregg
rian calendar and the solar or as
Economical calendar Everybody knows
that the time required for the earth 20
make a revolution around the sun Is the
true solar year. II IS easy 10 see why
men. in their ordinary affairs, do not give
the year its exact solar time value. but
employ the civil calendar they have de-
vlsed. instead Of the solar calen-
dar. The length of the solar year.
expressed precisely. is S6J.2422l6 days
or a little less than S65 IL days.
II is obvious that in the business
affairs OF life it would be very incon-
venient 20 use a time division called a
year containing so many days and frac-
ton of a day. For ordinary purposes
the year must be counted as so many
days The ordinary year is therefore
counted as 365 days. which is nearly
fourth Of u day shorter than the true
year.
OF course. this time difference between
the solar and the civil year must be ac-
counted for, sooner or later. and, when
it is convenient 50 to do. the true and
the artificial year must be brought into
concordance as nearly as possible. inc
common civil year is too short by .2G2l6

to 9-jSs64 Of a day, and so both in the

between the true and artificial calendars
by the suppression Of the intercalary
days in years 100. 1900, and lsol Wnlch
otherwise would be leap years. The sup
preston OF leap year In 1900 leaves a gap
between the two calendars since the
adoption Of the Gregorian calendar OF only
about one-ninth of a day, which Is the
balance on account with which 10 begin

the intercalary day every TOUR years anu
the suppression Of that day IN the last
year Of every three out OF four centuries
balances the years so far that the error
amounts TO only one day in 1875 years.
