Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucus lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation 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
catsrrh which is nothing but an in.
famed condition of the mucus sur.

For instance there is man by the

us three notices to stop his paper; he
didn't want his paper any longer. We
wondered what was the matter. Ex-
aiming the subscription list we
found that Tim was short Sc. He
never had paid cent, and yet he had
stopped his paper as a matter of econ
omy-to us. He did not want us to
lose anything by him. A few days
afterward Short was at church and
his melodious voice rang out loud
and clear in that old soul-stirring
song, "Jesus Paid 1t ALL" We may
have been mistaken, but his earnest
ness impressed us. So the next day
we sent him a receipt in full, begging
his pardon for not knowing that he
had made all assignment of his liabil'
tiles to the Lord.-Fulton Guard.

Row to Obtain Sleep When Mind
and Body Are Tired.

Insomnia is a self-inhicted curse
through the violation OF Natures
laws. The cause may be over-anxie-
ty, planning for tomorrow, thinking
and worrying over the yesterdays and
to-days, but no opiate can remove the
cause, even though it may bring
sleep. If the cause is merely mental
overwork it may be quickly removed
by relieving the brain of the excess of
blood. Physical exercise is panacea
for almost every ailment which hu-
man flesh is heir to. Therefore, stand
erect, and rise slowly fromsthe heels ;
descend slowly. Do this from forty
to fifty times until you feel the con-
gestion in the muscles in the leg. AL
most instant relief follows, and sleep
is soon induced.Y tFor those who are

The most aristocratic tramp In the
United States holds first mortgage on
the route from Garrisons to Rhineclitf,
along the Hudson river. For more than
a score Of years Henry Madison, known
60 every school boy and girl between
these places as "Buttons," has journey
ed along the river and levied tribute on
the kitchens of the millionaires whose
homes crown the hilltOps of the high
lands.
Madison is exit emely jealous of other
tramps, and refuses to associate With
them. This exclusiveness has nearly cost
him his life on more than one occasion
when "knights of the road" have taken
umbrage at his high-toned ways. Only
the personal \intervention Of we'll
known millionaire prevented a gang of
Albany boboes from cutting Buttons -
career short one summer.
1t is more than a score of years since
Madison made his first appearance at
Garrisons. Nobody knew whence he
came. and he has not since given any
linking as to his past history. He hung
around the station for several days, pick
ing up meal whenever and wherever he
could. Then he begged his way across
the ferry to West Point, but police
sergeant captured him at the landing
anG, like an undesirable emigrant, the
boat that took him over had to give him
tree ride back. In was then that he
decided that the rich should support
him, and they have done SO eyer since.

of the finest country seats along the Hud-

Lackawanna and Western railroad. He
got good breakfast, and went for din

secretary of state under President Grant.
John NJ. Tousey lived on the hill oppo>
site, and to him Buttons" applied for
supper. Three square meals in one day
were too much for his tight fitting gar

that night and on his way every button
on his clothes had burst off, and Sheriff
