Many acres of canary seed are an

there being solely canary-seed farmers.
The straw of the canary seed plant Is
highly valued as fodder for horses.

10000 species. India has about $4,000.

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 constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets infamed you have 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 con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

OUR LABORERS.
They Have No Chance to Compete With
Native La6orers of the Philippines.
Mechanics. Skilled in Their Trade, Would
Do Well in the Growing Country
Americans Would Have Con-
troll of Trade.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1s.-A CORE
spondent at Manila writes as follows
regarding the opportunities for invest
ment in the Philippines. He says that
Industrial enterprises offer, the best
Inducements, and that American labor
tive laborers, who can stand the eli.
mate, can live on the native foods, and
are in every other way more fitted to
perform the labor of the country than
Americans, and laboring men are
warned to give the Philippines a wide
berth in their search for new fields.
Modern street car lines and modern
railroads would earn big dividends.
Only the locomotive affairs now exist,
and even though these cars are uncom-
Portable and slow, they are crowded
from morning to night, with the ex-
ception of few hours during the not
part of the day. Construction would
be comparatively easy and cheap ow-
ing to the level nature of the most
settled portions. Electric power would
have to be generated by steam.
modern telephone system would
be an Improvement. but present condi-
tlons do not warrant too vast an extern
sion in this line. Mechanics, skilled
In their trade, would do well in the
growing country. The native mechan-
les are very skillful, but work only
with the crudest of tools, modern ap
planes being almost unknown. There
are only two blacksmiths in Ma
Mia. Five American carriage max
ers with modern machinery
could do as much work in
day as 80 natives. There are no less
than 200 Filipino carriage shops in the
field and they all do we'll. Americans
would have little difficulty in getting
control of the trade. An elaborate ice
plant is becoming a necessity. The ice
mGde here is of poor quality and the
supply falls far short of the demand.
The manufacturers get two
cents pound for their
product. A good American
hotel is one of Manila's most urgent
needs. Modern beds and fixtures are
a necessity. Many private residences
are now being thrown open to tran
sients because the public hotels are SO
poor. American doctors, homeopathic
and otherwise, will find a good field
for the exercise of their skill. The
place is very unhealthy and the native
doctors are very poorly skilled in medi-
cine.

is that Gen. Eagan will not be placed
