There is only one way to cure Deafness

Deafness is caused by an infamed

it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to

ATLANTA, Ga, April 25.-A telephone

which lynched Strickland, the colored
preacher, captured Albert Sewall, a
negro, who expressed himself to the eff.
feet that the death of every negro
should be avenged, and put him to
death. The mob is said to be still on
the hunt for negroes, and it is probable
that two more will be lynched.

ENEMIES OF RAfTLeRs.

Hogs and Black Snakes Kill the Ven
omous Reptiles With Impunity.
The two greatest enemies of the rat
tlesnake are the black snake and the
hog. The rattlesnake is slow and slug
gish in movement, while the black snake
is intensely rapid. The latter will cir
Gle around his foe and with a sudden
dart grasp the venomous reptile by the
neck, so that it has no chance to use
its poisonous fangs, and quickly squeeze
it to death. A hog, especially if fat
suffers no danger from the rattlesnake
He will march boldly up to the coiled
reptile, allow himself to be struck in
his jowls once, twice or three times, as
the case may be, and will then calmly
proceed to swallow the reptile without
concern. The reason for the hogs i'm
munity is due to the fact that the blood
vessels are so minute and infrequent on
his cheeks, where fat is predominant,
that they fail to take up the poison and
carry it through the porcine system.
Hogs have been used in droves to clear
some Of the islands Of the southern seas
Of poisonous reptiles and have proved
successful.
By remembering two simple facts any
one can distinguish poisonsous serpent
from a harmless one. The venomous
reptile invariably possesses triangular
ly shaped head and blunt nose, while
his tail is correspondingly blunt and
stubby. Any snake that tapers smooth
ly from the middle of its body to the tip
of its nose and to the tip of its tail as
we'll, growing slender in gradual and
regular manner, is absolutely devoid Of

was burned at the stake in a spot ~
miles from here during the afternoon.
Before the torch was touched to the
pyre the negro was deprived of his
ears, fingers and other portions of his
anatomy. The negro pleaded pitifully
for his life while the mutilation was
going on, but stood the ordeal of fire
with surprising fortitude. Before the
body was cool it was cut to pieces, the
bones were crushed into small bits and
even the tree upon which the wretch
met his fate was torn up and disposed
of as souvenirs. The mob was COM
posed of citizens of Newman, Griffin.

country round about Newman and of

Before being put to death the negro
stated that he had been paid $12 by

Intemperance In Drugs.

There is source Of nervous ailments

ance in drugs is becoming more COM
mon, and it may possibly outstrip the
abuse of alcohol in its evil results. The
manufacture of new chemical products
is supplying the public with endless car
bon derivates of high molecular power
and of imperfectly known physiological
action. Some are most dangerous, and
their continued indulgence leads to con-
firmed neurosis or hopeless neurasthe-

SPANISH INCIDENCE,
Masculine Manners as They Are Dis.
played In Madrid.

Smart life is very little seen in the
streets of Madrid. Women never walk
about unattended and seldom do more
than descend from and enter their car
riages Men, as rule, are gravely po-
| lite, the best of them genuinely so and
the others with varnish which does
very well when not scratched. They
stare out OF countenance every woman
who passes. This, they explain, means
nothing, and is indeed delicate sort of
aattery, but by American ladies it is
often taken for insolence and is always
very trying.
In the Royal Opera House at Madrid
an apparently well bred Spaniard will
not hesitate to walk down the aisle
during the entr act. and, taking a ia
vorable stand near the woman he wishes
to regard, stare at her for two minutes
at time, with or without glasses. No
sooner is the curtain down than nearly
all the men in the house-as rule
handsome fellows and we'll dressed
bunch together in the middle aisle and
take the measure of their surroundings.
1t is solemn moment. Nobody smiles
or jokes, and there does not seem to be
much talking. Hats are worn, and
every man looks about and stares.
When an acquaintance is deserted in
one of the boxes, he gravely lifts his
hat and replaces it, but his features re-
tain their impassive gravity.
The women, when one does see them,
seem to be handsomely gowned. but
they are not as good looking as the
men. They go about in fine looking
carriages drawn by spirited horses or
by spanking pair of mules. 1 have
never seen such mules as are to be seen
at times on the shopping streets of
Madrid. You will often find on these
crowded thoroughfares equipages that
would look well on Fifth avenue, focks
of sheep and turkeys and slow moving
oxen, not to mention the omnipresent
donkey. The cafe life is an imitation of

rotary Alger.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-In a report
to the secretary of war DR.. Victor S..
Clark, sub-director of public instruc-
ton in Porto Rico says that only $50 a
month can be offered to American
teachers with transportation to the isl
and from New York. The English
speaking supervisors are men and
through them it is hoped to weed out
abuses and develop some system of con-
troll. DIR. Clark has prepared revised
course of study containing only such
subjects as are taught in Americans
schools.
AS understood in this country there is
no system of higher education in Port"
Rico. The public schools are
Kept Open Twelve Months
in the year and six days in the week.
In summer only morning sessions arc
held. There is no co-education Of the
sexes. No schoolhouses exist on the
island, the schools usually being held at
the residences of the teachers. Only a
part of the pupils have text books. In
many cases the pupils take to the
schools the chairs which they occupy.
The pupils study aloud. About 525
schools are reported in the island and a
little over $500, 900 is annually paid foy
their support. A great desire is mani
tested to learn English.
