THE COLLAR BUTTON.

Its BLESSINGS Realized Only by Those
Wha hla.c Lived without 1t.
III looking over trunk full of old
truck the other day" said the elderly
man. Il came across lot of old shirts
with the buttons sewed on. and as
looked at them realized anew what
the collar button means to humanity.
There have been greater inventions,
surely, but not many that have con-
ferred a more unmiXed blessing on
mankind.
"The younger person Of today, &C.
customed to the collar button always,
cannot realize what it was to be with
out it. EIe can never know what it
was to have shirts with the buttons
seWed on-or not, as the case might
be. Not SO very many years ago, when
the collar button was yet comparative
ly new. before persons had come to
keep, as everybody commonly does
now, a lot of buttons on hand. the man
who had lost his collar button thought
himself entitled to the sympathy of his
fellows. but Wrung as he might be by
that loss he could not even guess at
the anguish that in the seWed on but
ton days filled the heart Of the man
who. when he came to put on his last
clean shirt, found that key button, the
one on the collar band, most important
one Of all, gone entirely or only just
hanging by thread.
81 knew a man once who had this
happen to him and didn't swear That
was the only great thing he ever did,
but | have always thought that that
alone was enough to stamp him as
most extraordinary man."-New York

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, ane that is
by cons titutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
muscuous lining OF the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets nflamed you have q
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 nor
NAL condition, heoring will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an infla-
med condition of the muscous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness, caused by catarrh,

not the pauper classes excluded? Are such classes

Under our immigration laws they stand at
present, immigrant be admitted TO this
country who is idiot, is insane or suffering
from a contagious disease, is likely to be-
come public charge. or is a contract laborer,
has been convicted of a crime involving moral
turpitude The enforcement of these laws de-
velves upon the immigration officers at each
port. and they determine in their discretion
whether an immigrant falls within any Of the
above classes or not There other bars
TO admission to this country than those men
toned above. Thus, a contract laborer -
that is any immigrant who before arriving here
has contracted to work for a person in this
country-is never admitted. Whether under diff
ferent circumstances the immigrant is a CON
tract laborer' not rests in the discretion Of
the immigration authorities. Paupers al
money upon their arrival here agree to care
for them, because they almost certain to be-
come public charges. Nihilsts and Anarchists
may enter this country as freely any one else,
provided they do not fall within any of the
above prohibitions The mere fact that a per-
son is Nihilist or Anarchist will not keep
him out. II he fufls the statutory require
ments ne will be admitted, though he is
known to be an Anarchist a Nihilist, and even
oh H.,
1t is hard to say whether these laws rigid
ly enforced or not. because much rests in the
discretion Of the immigration officer In individ-
ual cases 1t is believed that on the whole the
laws enforced with appropriate rigidity in
the port of NewYork. A salutary deterrent
TO the importation Of immigrants who cannot
pass is the law which requires the steamship
companies which bring such persons to
carry them back at their own the steamship
companiesD expense. Any immigrant admitted
TO this country who is found within year from
his arrival here to have fallen within any of the
prohibitions is subject to deportation at the ex-
