Deafness Cannot be Cured.

BY local applications as they canno'
reach the di.eassd portion Of the ear,
There is only one way to cure leaf

remedies. Deafness is csu-ed by ~
inflimed condition of the mucous lin.

this tube is iufiamed you have rom

when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness j.
the result, aud unless the iufiAmm4-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; which
is nothing but an inf ,med condition

Life's Scars.


rhey say the world is round, and yet
/ often think it square,
So many little hurts we get N.t
From corners here and there.
But one great truth in life I've found,
While jourueying to the West
The only folks who really wound
Are those we love the best.
The man you thoroughly despise
Can rouse your wrath, it's true;
ANNOYANCE in your heart will rise
At things mere strangers do;
But those are only passing ills,
This rule all lives will prove;
The ranking wound which aches an'
thrills
Is dealt by hands we love.
The choicest garb, the sweetest grace,
Are oft to strangers shown;
The careless mien, the frowning face,
Are given to our own
We Aatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love MS best.
Love does not grow on every tree
Nor true hearts yearly bloom;
Alas for those who only see
This cut across a tomb
But, soon or late, the fact grows plain
To all through sorrows test,
The only folks who give us pain
Are those we love the best.

A NOVEL QUESTION.
How Long Can a Beheaded Man Live
and Move

Recently there has been much ar
gument aiming to prove that the de-
capitation of criminals is the most
cruel form possible of inflicting the
death sentence. Some of the pro-
nounced opponents of this form of
capital punishment declared that the
circulation of blood in the severed
head did not cease for three hours,
and that during that period the head
could see, hear and smell. DR.. Wurm,
a German expert, has felt moved to
reply to these statements, says the
New York Press. He says that he
handled many heads of decapitaLed
criminals, and that there is not the
least doubt possible as to the fact Of
absolute death.
"lmmediatelyafter the execution"
he says, "the heads were pale, entire
ly bloodless and absolutely without
life. Not even reflex actions could be
produced, and only for short period
could the galyanic current produce
them. But most interestinginquiry
would be that of remaining spinal en-
ergy in the decapitated body. Be
headed frogs, chickens, ducks and
even rabbits have been known TO
carry out Independent movements,
such as scratching of an irritated
spot, jerking away an extremity when
it was pinched and going through the
motions of running. swimming and
Jumping. Apropos Of this, DR.. Wurm
quotes this queer tale in a book pub
lished in 1858 in Hamburg, entitled
TGreater Things in the World, or
So-Called Relations Curiosae."
Emperor Ludwig, of Bavaria, in
1887 sentenced Sir Dietz, of Schau-
enbrg, with four squires, to death
for freebooting. At the place of ex-
ecution Sir Dietz begged the judges
to put him and his squires into a row,
each man one foot from the next.
Then he was to be executed first and
his body would arise and run as far
along the row of prisoners as he could.
Each man whom he succeeded in
passing was to be let free. The judges
laughed and granted the request, say
ing that never before had they seen
beheaded man run. Thereupon
Dietz put his men into a row, plac-
ing the one whom he liked the best
nearest to him. Then he kneeled,
the sword fell and took his head off
clean, and in the next instant the
body had risen and was darting by
the four men, 1t ran past them all
and fell prone few feet beyond the
furthest one. Then the emperor par
doned the men as his judges had
promised"

WINoNA. Sr\RK Co. IND


During the winter l and my fam
lily OF six were taken with la grippe
The disease was very prevalent at that
time in the village where L resided,
nearly everyone being sick with it..
Our doctors treated it as best they could,
but were very unsuccessful in the treat
ment of it. As soon as my family were
taken sick went to the drugstore and
bought six bottles of Pe-ru-na, and we
all took it according to the directions
given on the bottle; and although our
cases seemed to be more than usually
violent in the outset, yet our recovery
was prompt, and we were all well much
sooner than those who We're treated by
the regular physicians.
Many people died of this la grippe dur
ing this epidemic, and few if any, were
sick so short time as myself and
family. After we were all we'll we had
one bottle of Pe-ru-na left.

THE INVENTIVE WOMAN.
She Is Marvel in the Use of HOmely
Tools.

Tools.
There is toothbrush handle. A
man never thinks of toothbrush as
anything but toothbrush, but a
woman knows its endless capacities.
If window frame rattles at night,
she wedges it with the toothbrush
If She is suddenly required to stir
dose of medicine in glass, and
spoon is not at hand, she promptly
uses the toothbrush handle. She has
even been known to use it to loosen
the mold in a flower pot, and IN ex-
treme cases she can drive in tin tacks
with the same useful article.
Then, says w. L. Alden, in Pear
sons, there is the hairpin The uses
to which woman can put hairpin
are almost innumerable. Does cork
find its way to the bottom of phial ?
A woman will Immediately spear it
with hairpin and extract it. Does
she wish to bore a small hole in piece
of wood? She will heat hairpin and
burn the hole out with neatness and
precision. With a hairbrush, unless
it happen to have a silver back, she
feels able to drive in the largest nail,
topunish the most vigorous small boy,
and to convert lump sugar into the
finest Of powdered sugar.
She can make an excellent hammer
with the heel Of her boot, and can con
vert caseknife into an Efficient
screwdriver If a woman knew the
process Of building boat she might
be cast ashore on an uninhabited
island with nothing but hairpin, a
toothbrush and, an ordinary-sized
boot, and within a month she would
turn out seaworthy boat in which
she would escape to civilization.

PASTIMES IN MODERATION.
Excess Of Athletic Exercise Harmful to
the Body.

A mild impeachment Of sport is
sometimes founded on the ailments
induced by athletic exercise. Here
again it is excess that is invariably to
blame. Thus, says Chambers Jour
nal, rowing will soon find out ten
dency to weak heart, but will not, |
fancy, weaken asound one. DR.. Nor
gan shows, in his University Oars,
that Oxford and Cambridge rowing
men survive the boat race by 40 years
or more. Too much rowing may un-
doubtedly bring on staleness and las
situde; but all that is required toset
matters right again is rest Cycling
will. if overdone, be productive of
much discomfort. The cyclist who
scorches and then slacks will catch
cold, and the cyclist who rides too
far will suffer fatigue and nervous
worry. Sleeplessness, particularly
after a bout of night riding, will fol-
low the strain, always present, though
not always consciously felt, of steer
ing it should, however, be borne in
mind by those who none too fairly at
tribute the narrow-chestedness and
curyity OF spine seen in so many bicy-
clists to the pastime itself, that the
cycling fraternity is largely recruited
from the sodentary classes.
As for the much-discussed STOPPING
attitude of the racing cychst, it woulC
be so difficult for him to race efficient
ly with compressed lungs that it ma.
be questioned whether this position
can affect the lungs in such degree
as alleged. Carelessness or excess il
the cyclist may be supplemented b,
faults in the machine, and badly
constructed or wrongly ly-adjusted sad
die placed too far forward, may, / be
lieve, especially in riding long dis
tances on hard roads, induce local il
ritation and injury.
