DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

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 inflamed condition OF the mu.
cous lining Of the Eustachisn Tube. When
this tube gets infismed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t 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 infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fer
any case Of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

And rhine of my friend Tom White.
He says that his fortune is made
So has determined to quit the trade.
He says he sells at cost for cash.
And this assertion by no means rash.
All you've got to do is try,
Then you will be sure to buy.
Twill do you good to see his shoes
At prices which will meet your views-
Shoes for man and shoes for lad
AS good as any to be had,
Shoes for ladies, shoes for kids,
Shoes for every one who bids;
Some are broad, some are neat.
ANY Kind to fit your feet:
Now tell all your friends the news
Tom Whites is the place for shoea
He has dry goods Of oil styles
Which Rice shows with pleasing smiles.
And if you'll take my advice
You will buy them at his price.
And I'll tell you the reason why
To sell you goods he will not lie.
He dent think it ever helps trade
To bring in a lie to your aid.
And Warwick will take all your butter
Although it may be one.fourth water,
An he will not find fault
If you put in too much salt.
Now it seems to me but fair
That you consent to take off the tdre
For faint fair to sell salt and water
At the price of good fresh butter

That Hutton always trades fair.
When Tom gets his mind off Pork
And gets down TO hard store work,
He'll sell you goods very low
Before he will let you 60.
So go to his place and try,
Even if you fail to buy.

CATION at the peace conference last sum-
mer, contributes to the November
American Monthly Review of Reviews
carefully prepared paper on "The Re-

Relation to the Monroe Doctrine" Mr..
Hollis clearly shows that the declaration
of the American commissioners on July
% was the most emphatic expression OF
the Monroe doctrine ever made before
the representatives # the great powers.
He also shows the groupdlessness of the
fears expressed in certain quarters as to
the danger to American interests likely

THOUGHTS.
BY FRANCIS CUMMINGS.

Written for The PhGipsburg Mail.
How sweet to rest at eventide
By yonder lilied lake SO fair,
And watch Dame Nature calm preside,
Without seeming trace of care.
Or where the streams translucent flow
Meanders merrily along,
Kiss'd by the tender moonlight glow
To listen to its murmur-song.
Or in some sylvan dell to lie,
Where flowers scent the zephyr
breeze;
To hear the forests breathing sigh,
And intertwine my soul with these.
To breathe the sweet, unsullied air
On some high hill. remote, -
And leave behind this worldly care
That elfish mortals seem to own.
To count the stars that gem the sky.
To hear the symphonies of night,
To see the misty moonlight die
When Phnbus dawns with fuller
light.
To gaze on some lone. placid lake,
And see heaven beauty mirror'd
there;
With happy solitude to wake
And all her deep-souled music share
To live in deeper mods of life;
To nobly, gladly watch and pray;
To let one happy thought be rife
Tomorrow is not here to-day.

THE SHEEP DOCS INTELLIGENCE.
INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS PERFORMED Al
THE TRIALS.


From The Ludgate Magazine.
Since the introduction Of sheep-dog trials In
Wales and England this highly interesting and
instructive sport is becoming yearly more popu-
lar On a fine day it would indeed be duncuit 10
find a interesting sight than the nigniy
trained shepherds dog. or collie. working the
little flock of three Of the widest sheep over tne
course in a most wonderful manner. The frlend-
illness and jovial good -humor Of the owners OF
dogs toward one another are in marked contrast
to the jealouses often present at sporting
meetings added to which the fresh air, healthy
surroundings and gay throngs go TO make
thorough days enjoyment
The shepherd working the dog stands at the
post. from which he Is not allowed to move
more than six yards. At a given signal three
sheep are liberated from the pen; the shepherd
then sends his dog to the sheep. which are 10
be driven In the direction indicated by the ar
rows and between the hurdles; IL any OF the
sheep go outside the hurdles the dog must bring
them back and take them the proper course, 10
the triangular pen of three hurdles, which has
an opening Of twenty-five inches or just wide
enough to allow one sheep to enter at time;
he has then to pen them. the time allowed being
thirteen minutes from the time the three sheep
are first liberated The worker Of the dog is
allowed to assist, without, however. touching
the sheep when the dog has brought them up to
the pen The shepherd works the dog almost en-
trely by whistling or motions. Often the sheep
separate at the commencement; the dog has
then to bring them together and start with his
charge at the proper place. The competitor may
pen at the end Of the trial; he has then most
difficult task, and the utmost patience and skill
are then required, as only one sheep can enter at
a time and the other two will often go outside
the pen. 1t is then the dogs sagacity is shown
He will crawl on his belly like cat, and quietly
drive them inch by inch until he gets them in
the opening and the three jostled into the pen.
Another innovation has lately been introduced
at some trials. The shepherds mark three sheep
which are driven among flock OF about hun
dred or more. The dog has then TO find the
marked sheep and bring them from among the
others, which he does, showing wonderful sa-
gacity and intelligence in doing so.
In training collies, the young dogs are gener-
ally taught by accompanying old dogs. Months
of patient toll are required TO fit them to COM
pete at trials successfully The young dog is very
wild and apt to overrun the sheep. in which case
the shepherd often has to devise means to
hold him In check, which he does by tying up
one Of his front paws with his pocket handker-
chief around the dogs neck, thus leaving the
dog only three legs to run on and ii is surpris-
ing how soon the dog understands its meaning.
