DEAFNESS CANNoT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach the

way to cure deafness, and that is by eonstitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or imper
feet hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton 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
catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

French Style of Starting Foot Races.
In an American srpinting race the
starter orders the runners on their
marks, then tells them to ''get ready"
then calls out "set'' and couple of
seconds later fires the pistol. At the
Paris races the starter ordered the men
on their marks, called out attention
and fired the pistol SO soon sfteIward
that the Americans could not get into
crouching position. After the first
heat or two the Americans were always
set by the time attention was called
and started at the word instead of pis-
tol. thus gaining q yard or two.

MuRical Fish.

Many fish can produce musical
sounds. The trigia can produce long
drawn notes ranging over nearly an
octave. Others, notably two species
of ophidum, have sound-producing ap-
paratus, consisting of small movable

a sharp rattle. The curious "drum-
ming" made by the species called UNI

Mr.. Bryan has opene q Pandora

was denounced specifically as Mckin

tion of Independence and governing
without the consent of the governed;
and as ii to make the parallel absolute
ly com plete, there was also deter
mined movement in 1864 to turn the
German Republicans against Lincoln.
Lincoln, OF course, could only expect
the denunciation of the copperheads
who thought the consent of the gov

of the rebellion. The unl1indest cut OF
all was that Republicans should 60 off

was one projected in the name OF the

AS late in the campaign as Septem-

York Tribune:
"Until short time ago it seemed as
though nearly the entire vote controlled

But the keen sighted Greely now saw
how the Germans had been misrepre-
sented. He now made bold to predict
that Lincoln would get an overwhelm-

few weeks later in November, that
prophesy WIS made good. The men

of being carried off on tangent had
coolly and calmly reviewed the situa-

the cry of imperialism against Lincoln
and the preposte1ous dogmas about the

as an emperor. They rallied to Lin
