gram to the Post-Dispatch from Shell
byville, Ind, says: Louis Burkhor, an
eccentric and well-to-do German re-
siding ten miles north of here, Monday
night, quarreled with his wife who went
to the home of Thomas Sells for protec-
ton. AT two a. m. an explosion was
heard and the Burkhor homestead was
found to be on fire. Burkhor had put
dynamite under the house and when the
explosion took place and his home was
destroyed he blew his brains out with
pistol. He was 6s years old, had been
married five times and for the past two
years had devoted most of his time to
reading the Bible

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 constitutionalrem
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed 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 infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

The Dewey Purifier and Separator

The Dewey for separating grain
from foul seeds of all kinds is perhaps
without a rival in that field. 1T is SO
constructed that a mixture of oats,
wheat, grass seed, and mustard or any
like mixture will be resolved into it's
origonal elements, each appearing by
itself. 1t will make almosta complete
separation of timothy and clover seed
In making separation which involves
five different kinds and grades of
seeds, but one change of selves is re-
quired and the mill is so adjusted that
this requires but moments time.
They may be seen and tested at the
office in Cresco, or by salesmenat your
farm. They do not carry the mixture
to be separated but will take the fal M
ers grain as they find it and show him
what it contains.

MiEht Destroy All Life.

In a signed article in The Electrical,
Review Nicola Tesla describes some OF
his experiments in the line of electrical
currents of high voltage and gives de-
tails Of the coil which he used. "The
discharges Of such a COIL" he adds,
'when of an electromotive force of a
few millions of volts, excite powerful
affinities in the atmospheric nitrogen,
causing it to combine readily with the
oxygen and other elements, particularly
in the presence of aqueous vapor.
$50 energetic are these actions and
so strangely do such powerful discharges
behave that I have often experienced a
fear that the atmosphere might be
ignited, a terrible possibility, which
Sir William Crookes, with his piercing
intellect, has already considered. Who
knows but such a calamity is possible ?
And who can tell with gertrude that
periodical cessatlons Of organic life on
the globe might not be caused by igni-
ton of the air and destruction of its
life sustaining qualities, accidentally
or as a consequence of some accumula-
tive change? A lump Of coal will lie
for centuries unaffected in contact with
oxygen, but, the combustion once start
ed, the process continues as long as
there are elements to combine

Rape For Pagture.

Rape is used chiefly for p~asturing
hogs or sheep. Beef cattle have been fed
on it with good results, but with milk
cows the rape is likely to give a strong
taste to the milk. It is a member of the
turnip family, says The Rural New
Yorker. We have found it excellent
pasture for hogs. At the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station experiment shows that
rape gives better results for hog feeding
than clover. Many sheep growers bread
cast the rape seed either alone or mixed
with crimson clover seed, in corn at the
last cultivation. After the corn is cut,
the rape grows up and, in an open win
ter, will give fair pasture till Christ
mas. The Dwarf Essex is the best va
riety. We sowed rape broadcast in
crimson clover in May last year. It
gave more or less feed during the season,
and some of it has actually come
through the past hard season, alive and
green.

to play on Is different toned drums at

ening uproar that might have been ex-

and complete instrument. In playing

A DIVERSITY or TONGUES.
The Many la ~ t-uaEe That Are SpO-
ken In the British Isles.

ACh III ShC DIAtASh ASACSs
Perhaps to many people it will be a
great surprise to learn that a very con-
siderable percentage of the native born
inhabitants of the British isles cannot
speak English.
Naturally, the vast majority do nse
it as the language of their birth, but in
Wales there are as many as sos, O36
persons who speak only Welsh, the
mother tongue of the principality.
Again, in the highlands of Scotland
Gaelic is the colloquial language of 49,
73S persons, who are able to speak
nothing else. In Ireland 80, 1871 sons of
Erin car speak only Erse. the native
Irish tongue.
That Erse is being displaced by the
tongue of the sister isle is made evident
by the fact that the Rev. Joseph Bos-
worth, writing in 1S4S, gave Irish as
the commonly spoken tongue of nearly
5000, 900 inhabitants. At that time
Welsh was spoken by 1000 900 per-
sOn
Strangely enough, while in Wales
fewer people speak both English and
Welsh than Welsh alone, in Scotland
almost five times as many people use
both languages as those who speak
Gaelic only, and in Ireland the proper
ton is still greater, being 20 speaking
both to n who is able to speak Irish
only.
Manx is spoken in the Isle of Man.
The population Of the island is So. 59s.
The people are Of Celtic extraction, with
an intermixture of Norwegian. The is
land vas under the rule of Norway
from $40 to 1868 A. D. Both Manx and
English are used in the PRONUNCIATION
of any new law in the island.
The Channel islands have a popula-
ton Of about 90, 600, and the language
spoken is French. Thus six languages
are used in the British isles.

Burr's Fierce RetOrt.

Aaron Burr at one time attended a
church in Albany where all the aris-
tocracy of the town was to be found on
each Sunday. Soon he fell into the
practice of being late, and finally the
wardens of the church asked the min
lister to reprimand him openly. On the
next Sunday, when Burr entered late
as usual, the minister stopped in the
middle of his sermon and said, ''Sir, I
shall appear at the Judgment seat
against your
Burr gazed at him placidly and an
swered. "Sir, in all of my practice l
have found that class of criminals that
turns states evidence the most to be
despised." There were no more public
reprimands in that church.
