THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Dec. aj-rie stock market went
through some astonishing yicissitudes today, but
its most astonishing phase was the final rccur-
renee OF the understone OF strength which has
come in to support the market persistently
OF late and driven oil all moods OF depression,
After opening with u skyrocket advance in price,
followed by a drop very like the skyrockct's
stick, the market gathered itself together again
and ignoring the continued pressure ol liquida-
tion which continued in iorce at some, points it
resumed its irregular show OF strength, illc
struggling new points oi strength being unaf-
iecled by the weakness at Others. The sharp re-
action at md-session was due more than any
thing else to the extremely doubtful character
OF some OF the opening advances The char-
acter OF the stock affected and the violence oi
the jump in prices gave Il suggestion of specu-
latiye debauch such rs is the invariable aecom-
paninent of the elimination OF 4 bull market.
Professional traders have been constantly on the
lookout for the signs OF such elimination and
they sold the market eagerly on the opening rise.
These offerings were supplemented by the very
heavy profit taking interests long oi the market.
At this period of the market 1t took on an ap-
peglance oi general weakness, prices erumblins
throughout the list. The surprising opening
gains in a number OF industrial specialtes and
in few OF the railroad stocks were very gem
orally wiped out and some of the important rail-
road stocks had fellen from traction TO point
below Saturdays closing level The violent
break in the Northern Pacific stocks had large
influence in the decline, as the unbrldled specu-
laliOn in the same issues has been the salient
point OF the market for days past published
statement that the preferred stock would not be
retired on the coming first OF January Is the
ground for the break as ii would take away the
reason for the recent speculation. The common
stock was carried down an extreme 3h and the

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 coIistitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in-
famed condition OF the mucous lining OF the
Eustachan Tube. When this tube Is inHamed
you have a rambling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness Is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tubo restored to its normal eondi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nina
cases out OF len are caused by Catarrh. which Is
nothing but an inhamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces

schols had instructed her pupils in
hygiene, and toward the end of the
term, wishing TO see how we'll they

write out little story of the human

the STORY" one small boy handed her.
with the confident assurance that he
knew IL was all right, for he had
studied very hard over it;
1.-The human body is divided into
three parts, the head, the thoraX and
the abdomen.
1.-The head contains the brains, If
there are any: the thorax contains the
heart and the vital organs: and the
abdomen the vowels, of which there
are five, a, e, !, o, and II, and some

In similar fashion to the Saliva ion
Army of our day, tradition says st. Pat
