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 inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rnmbling 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
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

NATURE AND SOCIETY.-Unless
culture be a Superficial polish, q
veneering of mahogany over com
mon wood, it surely is this-the
growth of the imagination in hexi-
bility, till the life which the in
dividual lives is informed with the
life of nature and of society When
nature and society can live in the
schoolroom, when the forms and
tools of learning are suborbinated
to the substance of experience,
then will there be an opportunity
for this identification, and culture
shall be the democratic password. -

Another comicality Of the re-
publican campaign is the widely
circulated story that in the event of
Bryan's election Croker will control
the federal patronage in New York.
The only voucher for this story is
Senator Hanna. But upon much
better authority, upon the authority
indeed Of actual experience during
the past four years, it is known that
in the event Of McKinley's election
Hanna will control all the federal
patronage Of the United States.
Which were better, even il the
Croker story were true, to turn
over to Croker few New York ap.
pointments, or to Hanna the whole
civil service system.

In speaking Of the shifting of States in
national elections the Boston Post says:
"The most remarkable instance of change
is that Of New York and Indiana. With
absolute and unvarying regularity these
two states, since the second election of
Lincoln in 1864, have given their vote al
Tentatively to one aud then to the other
party candidate for President. Both of
these States went Republican in 1896. Iii
their turn to go Democratic this year.
Another point is to be noted. Since
the time Of Grant and bayonet elections in
the South the candidate who mas received
the vote Of Indiana and New York has been
elected. II Bryan gets the votes OF these
States, which are due to come TO the Dem
ocracy this year he will be elected beyond
peradventure"

DANGERS OF TOPU METHOD.
But it is true Of the topic method
OF assigning lessons, as it is of any
other useful method, that in the
hands of a poor teacher it may
easily become a cause of verv
sleazy, superficial work. 1t requires
clear and close connecting of sub
jects, and making plain the i'm
portant facts and their relations.
If used with pupils wholly unac-
customed to it, it confuses them
and leaves them discouraged aud
helpless. TO assign lesson BY
the topic method to class Of crude
pupils would be much like taking "A
city-bred child into the heart of
