the relief of the miners of the Klondke.
But il did not proceed beyond Dyea he
pushed on unofflcially with party which
he organized there. His book Is de-
scription of the scenes he witnessed and
the conditions he met, but rather in the
abstract than in a personal vein. He tells

Macmillan Company.

For years the "Statesman's Yearbook
has been a standard source of information
on official and semi-official subjects con-
corning the countries of Europe, with. how
ever but a brief consideration of American
topics. Doubtless inspired by the larger
part which the United States has lately be-
gun to play in the affairs of the world, the
publishers have decided to enlarge the
space devoted to American matters from
about forty pages to nearly 300 pages. Mr.
Wright in his preface comedies that his
chief difficulty as editor of the American
section has been to keep the work within
limits. The foreign features of the Year
book are similar to those of former is

The graceful shape and the attractive
surroundings of the ferns make them ap-
peal strongly to the nature-loving instincts
of most people who have formed the habit
of searching in the by-ways for the odd,
the beautiful and the interesting. There is
a great variety in ferns and a special
knowledge is necessary for any consider
able study Of them. The present author
loves the flowers and all other forms of
plant life. She seeks to make other peo-
pie love them by introducing them by name
and dwelling upon their peculiar character

Helping Nature.

Ethel Turner, 1121 Duke Street, Alexan-
dria. Va, to show how nature alone re-
stored hearing after two attacks of violent
Inflammation Of the ears, but failed in the
third attack and medical help was neces-
sary. The treatment she received fol-
lowed nature as closely as possible, and in
speaking of the result Miss Turner says:
Il first had what was called n rising
or gathering in my ears about five years
ago. The suffering was intense. but when
| got over it | could hear as usual. Three
years ago, while going through an attack
of typhoid fever my ears gave me great
trouble again and | feared the result, but
all came right About one year ago, now

ing lin both ears this time) my friends no.
ticed that | was hard of hearing. Other
people called attention to my defective
hearing before / realized any permanent
trouble by remarking, How deaf you are
getting Both ears were dull TO about the
same extent. The noises in my head wor-
ried me a great deal and | became quite
anxious when | learned that noises were
symptom of increasing deafness. MY
hearing gradually became worse and worse.
l Stunned social affairs and experienced all
the difficulties and embarrassment OF those

TO apply TO a specialist for help. l had
seen in DIR. Cowden's advertisements that
| he treated such cases. as well as the names
of a great many whom he had cured. L
was told that the treatment would proDa-
bly, result IN great benefit and cure was
not impossible. After several weeks Oh
treatment my hearing began slowly TO
| improve, until at present, If | am not per-
| fectly cured l must be very near 1t, as

and this in itself is quite relief. Ihe
method of treatment is very mild ana at

A FAMOUS CASE SETTLED.
The Creditors Of Rodmnn VI. Price I.
BE Paid S2:;.IGO.

The Comptroller of the Treasury render
ed a decision yesterday to the effect that
the creditors of Rodman NJ. Price must be
paid S23,100. Price was Governor of
the State of New Jersey at one time and
also member of Congress. In 1850 he was
purser in the Navy, stationed at San Fran
cisco. He came to Washington with the
receipts of his successor for 81, 600 for
money turned over TO clerk. He claimed
to have lost his vouchers by the burning of
a steamer. The successor of Price denied
that he had received the money. He ad-
mitted. however, signing the receipts. The
Government then sued Prices bondsmen
and was beaten. Congress in 1892 allow
ed the $4,000 to Price and the latter's
creditors enjoined him in the courts from
realizing on checks given him. He DISC
beyed the injunction and went TO jail in
consequence. He died not long aftsrward.
The last session of Congress appropriated
S23. 100 to the creditors of Price. and the
decision of the Comptroller holds that the
money must be paid.

The trifing pain of corn is a pleasant

That is a pain which seems to pervade the
whole body. 1t communicates itself to all
parts near the seat of the trouble and
brings on a heavy dragging feeling in the

not know what it means. Ii racks the
