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 con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound vr
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-.
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be. taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, 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 sur
| faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollar
for anv case of deafness (caused b.
catarrh) that can not be cured by HalP
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

would give him service in Congress

Siberian horses, the small, hardy

side of the stock opposite the lash,
roughly scrapes OFF the hoarfrost,
which has thickly incrusted their legs,
and indeed their whole bodies. At

Downtown. when the noon hour APP
proaches, there is a general movement
Of lunch-wagons and push-carts from
the shadows Of the tall Office buildings
in the vicinity OF the stock exchange
toward cheap and hungry corner" as
the intersection OF New street and Elk
change place is called, says the New
York Post. As the noon hour begins
to wane, down the slope of New street,
from Wall street beyond, comes a
white horse and a little red wagon,
lettered Street Cleaning Department,
No. g." The driver and his italian as
sistants sweep from the cutters on
either side, and the white horse slowly
picks his way among the crowd, as
the sweepers work along, pile by pile,
down the street. When Exchange
place and the curbstone lunch-wagons
are reached, the horse is among
friends. Hucksters and messenger
boys all know him. Brokers stop to
pat him. Here, Peter, catch this!"
comes from one side, and then follow
other shouts; each followed by a pear,
plum, or piece of pie. With neck out
stretched like a goose and head pushed
well forward, he deftly catches all the
good things coming his way in his
w%ide-open mouth. He is always ready
for more, and sometimes cannot wait
for his friends to give them to him,
but calmly reaches down and appro-
pirates a piece Of pie from "Billie's"
cart, or a cruller from "Teddy's.' In
stead of getting angry, the owners
mildly demonstrate with Peter, and
push their carts further away from his
head. In this way he crowds his way
down the narrow street, always appar-
emily making for the place where the
push-carts are the thickest, and where
he knows ne will get the most to eat.
Occasionally he reaches out and
pinches the arm Of a shouting push
cart man, as if to remind him hat a
hungry friend is ~unnoticed.

wounded nird Kins On radian Hunter
wien His Hoax.
From tie Youths Companion. The
loon, or great northern diver, is O.
powerful bird. The following instance
Of n of them %conQuering a man hap
pened a few years ago: A young Mic
mac Indian, living at Grand Lake,
Nova Scotia. wanted TO get the skin
Of one OF these beautiful birds to pre-
sent to his mistress on her birthday.
One day the youth, who was an adept
at Initiating the peculiar sobbing cry
Of the loon. succeeded in calling a bird
within shooting distance. His shot,
however, failed to kill outright and the
bird, although so severely wounded
that it could neither swim nor dive,
yet retained sufficient life and strength
to remain upright in the water. The
boy, thinking that his game did not
need another shot. swan out to re-
trieve Il, but when he approached near
enough to seize the bird It suddenly
made a dash at him, sending it's head
and neck out with a spring like an ar
row from q bow. It was only by a
quick duck of the head that the In
dian succeeded in evading the blow.
He swan about the loon several times,
attempting to dash in and seize him
by the neck, but the wary bird sue
ceeded in foiling each effort by contin-
ually facing him and lunging out with
his powerful neck. The Indian then
swan up to within a few feet of The
bird, and diving under him, with con-
siderable skill caught him by the legs.
He carried him under. and. although
the bird struggled iercely, managed to
retain his hold. But when they both
rose to the surface again a battle royal
began, the Indian seeking to carry his
prize ashore and the bird attempting
to regain his freedom. The bird. how
ever, was too much for his foe and
before the Indian had covered a yard
on his shore-bound course disabled
him with a vicious blow from his beak
full on the naked chest. The effect OF
the blow was almost simultaneously
fatal, for the beak penetrated close to
the youths heart.

rHE DAY or rAg So 80.
A Modern travelling Convenience ana 10.
Oririn-Prosent Popularity.

~ MonoFn travelling lourenienco and It's
Orisin-Prosent Popularity.
This is the day Of the suit case. The
square, box-shaped travelling case has
taken the place Of the satchel and the
bag to a great extent, and has even en-
croached on the realm Of the little
trunk, To any person who will paw At
tention to the hand baggage of the ar
irving or departing throngs at the rail-
road stations this must become evil
dent at once, says the New York Tri-
bune. The popularity Of the suit case
is not a fashionable fad, but an i'm
provement on old methods Of packing
and carrying articles of wearing an
parel, and had its origin, according to
a story told by a manufacturer. with n
New York commercial traveller. The
young man in question had been ION
the road" for several years, and had
made many friends outside Of the buy
ers' offices, and he received many in
Vitations of a social nature while he
was on his long trips. He found it
necessary to carry evening clothes on
his "hustling" tours, and in order to
reduce the wear and tear to a mini
mum had a case built in which he
packed his purple and fine linen. and
this he carried in one Of his large
sample trunks. The case was seen by
other drummers and admired for its
good shape and compactness; similar
cases were ordered, and presently a
trunk manufacturer who knew a good
thing when he saw 1t had the cases for
sale. In less than a year the suit case
was known all over the country. In its
early stages it was considered a dud-
ish style, but the prejudice wore off
when its convenience was ascertained,
and 1t is now in general use at prices
ranging from $3.50 to s25, while the
average price is about IS. The low
priced article is a wooden box COW
cred with composition material, while
the better cas- has a steel frame and
is covered with leather. Women were
not slow to recognize the advantages
Of a suit case over the old-time valise,
and cases slightly lighter in weight
than the regular article are sold in
large quantities to m Besides
its advantages as a packing case the
suit case is looked upon as highly
respectable" and "genteel" and far
ahead in that respect Of the old-time
valise, which is liable to show by col
lapsed sides a poor and empty condi-
ton which the stiff sides Of the case
conceal. The suit case stained and
slightly scratched and decorated with
European hotel pastors is one Of the
latest improvements on the original
style. These cases are sold in three
sizes, like the plain, article, but the
prices usually about 25 per cent higher.
