Chinese Com mercial Wealth..

The progress of China in the last so
years is we'll illustrated by the fact
that when the Yangste valley was
opened, about that many years ago.
$500, 900 represented all that the Chi
nese could buy or sell to foreigners,
and few small vessels carried all the
freight and passengers. Now all the
annual foreign trade of the Yangste is
valued at over 500. 600, 900, and q
larger feet Of ocean AMI local craft ply
between Shanghai and Hankow than
on the Columbia, Mississippi and Hud-
son rivers combined.

The ground for strawberries should be
selected year in advance. 1t should
be planted to some crop that requires
liberal manuring and frequent hoeing,
SO as to destroy all weeds. 1t is grass
and weeds that cause strawberry beds
to become worthless after the first
year, and after the rows are matted
there is no way to get rid of weeds in
the rows except to pull them out hy
hand. If the ground is kept clea
the previous year but few weeds viii
appear.

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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
ton OF the mucous lining OF the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbliug sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the in
aammation 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 inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
free.

HAIR INSOLES.

SWEATY FEET-Perspiratio is a
necessary waste which benefits the
system by expelling poison, but it
soils and makes an irritatant of any
thing worn on the body. If HAIR
1NSOLES are worn through the day,
moisture from the feet will drain
through the top or hair part leaving it
dry and at night will be found at the
bottom of the sole which will be wet.
Hair will not hold moisture, but cloth
and leather WILL Shoes soiled by per-
spiration irritate the feet and cause
troubles. Perspiration is most con
stant in the feet because the pores
are larger and more capable Of absorp-
tion and relief is had at once by wear
ing HAIR INSOLES. RHEUMATICS
INVALIDS, and others will obtain
great help from these INSOLES which
ease and harden the feet by keeping
them dry and preventing irritation.
They make springy cushion and pre-

of rubber heels. Price 10 cents per

HE WORKED DESTRUCTION.

A Sample of What n Fairly Healthy
Cockntoo Can Do.
A light chain securely fastened on
the cockatoo's leg promised safety, but
he contrived to get within reach of my
new curtains and rapidly devoured
some half yard or so Of a hand painted
border, which was the pride Of my
heart. Then came an interval of calm
and exemplary behavior. which lulled
me into a false security. Cookie seemed
to have but one object in life, which
vas to pull out all his w feathers,
and by evening the dining room often
looked as though a white fowl had
been plucked in it.
l consulted a bird doctor, but as
Cookies health was perfectly good and
his diet all that could be recommended,
it was supposed he only plucked himself
for want of occupation, and fircwood
was recommended as n substitute.
This answered very well, and he spent
his leisure in gnawing sticks of deal
only when no one Glanced to be in the
room he used to unfasten the swivel
Of his chain, leave it dangling on the
stand and descend in search of his
playthings. When the fire had not
been lighted, I often found half the
