There Is only n way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed deafness results and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal

forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing

has ever undertaken that very hazard
Gus journey. The prince sailed in his
good ship Stella Polare polar Starr on
Monday from Christiania, in Norway.
He is accompanied by the Crown
Prince and Princess of Italy, who will
go with him as far as North Cape.
Prince Luigi belongs to the house OF
Savoy. He is a nephew of the King
of Italy and the son Of the late Prince
Amadeo of Savoy, Duke Of Aosta, and
for time the King of Spain. Luigi
was born on April 80, 1878, and is al
ready distinguished as traveller and
explorer. In 1897 he assembled Mount
Elias, on the border between Alaska
and British Columbia. Prince Luigi
is taking with him twenty-one persons,
including Count Quiri, lieutenant in
the Italian navy; DR.. Cavilli-Molinelli,
two Italian sailors, four guides, ten

ing than at the time of the democratic
national convention in 1896. AS every
one knows he was a strong figure be-
fore the convention. At one time there
was a belief that he stood a strong
chance to become the nominee. At
that time Mr.. Bland was at his home,
two miles away from the town of Le-
banon. He had no Geographic or tele-
phonic connection from his comfort
able home to the town near which he
lived. Instead of remaining close to
means of direct communication with
the exciting scenes in Chicago, he con-
tinued to pursue his daily habits on
the farm. Along toward the evening
of one of the most exciting days of the
convention there were signs that there
would be a Bland landslide. In the
minds of the knowing ones in the con-
vention it may be that this was not
so but this impression got abroad and
was felt in most parts of the country.
Every telegram that reached Lebanon
said something about it. The same
thing, in a moderate way, had hap
pened a number of times in the two
or three days proceedings. Each
time there had been a rush for Bland,
and each time he astonished the rush
ers by showing them that his concern
was much less manifest than theirs.
On this particular evening an effort
was made to make Mr.. Bland come to
town. He had been in for the mail in
the afternoon and had purchased some
groceries, but he announced to his
friends, before starting for home, that
he would not come back except under
extraordinary conditions. Some one
told him that the conditions were ex-
traordinary, and that his nomination
was imminent. Mr.. Bland shook his
head and smiled. IF l am nominated
tonight" he said, 81 will hear about it
in the morning"
Accompanied by two or three of the
children he climbed slowly into his
not too gorgeous equippage and drove
out the dusty street in the direction Of
his home.
Mr.. Bland had another reason at
this time for sticking close to the
farm. Help" is scarce down that
way, and at that time Mrs. BANDS
''hired girl had left her, leaving only
a mere slip of a child to assist in the
large amount of general work and the
care of the children. So 1t became a
part of Mr.. BANDS duty to assist about
the house when he could, and this
duty he performed.
About that time some friendly biog-
rapher wrote to him thus:
Though he wears socks, he does not
wear a collar except on Sunday. He
wears knee-high boots, and his trous-
srs are two or three inches too short.

SAMOAN DANCING.
1t Is Not Always Discreet Though
Generally Lively.


Generally Lively.
A favorite amusement for old and
young is the silva, the word meaning
to dance 1t is not, properly speaking,
dancing, says the National Geographic
Magazine, but is more like an acting
charade, for, although accompanied
with music, singing and slapping OF
hands, the silva has no steps or regular
figures, its motions consisting of slow
pacings, bodily and facial contortions,
and what may be called descriptive
acting. The actual silva is performed
by girls The dancers are prepared
for the silva by copious smearings of
cocoanut oil applied by some female
relative, followed by careful adorn-
ing of the glistening body with the
lava-lava, or loin cloth, and flowers for
the hair and neck. The subjects rep
resented all relate to the life Of the
islands, and are frequently given with
a verisimilitude which leaves nothing
to the Imagination Courtship, mar

leading place in The representation,
while making poi, spearing fish, pad
ding the canoe, gathering fruit, and
also some of the living pictures" are
not omitted. AS the pace grows live
lier frequent drafts of kava incite the
dancers to renewed activities, and
often as the excitement grows, sub
iects of a grosser nature are given, and
frequently before the conclusion OF
first-class silva the girls will divest
themselves of even the pretense of
clothing, the lava-lavas following the
flower garlands until the space in the
hut devoted to the performers is filled
with a swaying mass of glistening
bodies, and the odor of the cocoanut
oil becomes simply overpowering to
the few civilized onlookers who are
permitted to witness genuine silva.
