MhAT CAUSES DEAFNESS.
The Principal Cause is curabie but Gener.
ally Overlooked.

Many things may cause deafness. and
Very often il IS difficult To trace a
cause. Some people inherit deafness.
Acute diseases Ike scarlet fever some
times cause deafness But BY far the
most common cause or loss of hearing
= catarrh OF the head ana throat
\ prominent specialist OF ea- trou-
bIeS gives As his opinion that nine out
~ ten cases If deafness IS traced -o
throat trouble: this j. probably over
stated. but il is certainly true tina;
more than half Of all cases OF poor
hearing were caused by catarrh.
The catarrhal secretion in the nose
and throat finds its way into the
Eustachian tube and by clogging It
up very soon affects the hearing and
the hardening Of the secretion makes
the loss Of hearing permanent unless
the catarrh which caused the trouble
Is cured.
| Those who are hard Of hearing may
| think this a little far fetched. but any
one al all observant must have no
/ ticed how hard cold in the head
will affect the hearing and that ca
tarrh il long neglected will certainly

Z fHaLe4E cause deafness
| II the nose and throat are kept clear
and free from the unhealthy secre-
/ tons of catarrh. the hearing will ut
once greatly improve and anyone suf-
fering from deafness and catarrh can
satisfy themselves on this point oy US

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a whole
some combination OF Blood root, Gua!

Hidden Book Titles.

Hidden book titles is new game OF
the rebus type. The game is to guess
the title of books from pictures on
cards. The guessers write the titles
and authors of the books on tally cards
which have corresponding numbers
upon them There is one title on each
card, and the cards are passed from
table to table. a certain number OF
minutes being allowed to each before
the cards are sent on Another way
to play the same game is to distribute
the titles to the company and let each
person sketch a rebus to be guessed by
the rest of the company. In this case
there should be double rriz S not only
for the guessing but for the ingenuity
displayed in hiding the titles. Titles
of books are written on slips of paper,
which the guests draw from basket.
A certain time, say twenty minutes, is
given TO complete the sketches, which
are then passed around or immediate
ly numbered and fastened up to the
wall, so that they can be guessed and
voted upon.

''Doctress" is the favorite term
suggested for women doctors by num-
Der of correspondents who send us let
tiers on the subject, says the London
Chronicle. We have, they say actors
why not, on the same principle doc
tors and doctresses? The name is not
pretty, even though it might have
pathological arguments and precedent
in its favor. One correspondent thinks
that, as we have become used to
Lords justices" gentlemen farmers,
and men children" Tin Shakespeare,
we might become reconciled to ladies
doctors" AT the same time" he
adds. Il realize there is something to
be said for the other view, or we could
speak of girl doctors, while girls
doctors would be out of the question"
The feminine form of doctor" in
Latin would be ''doctrix, writes Mr..
]. w. White. The term female doctor
is, he says, preferable to either "wom-
an Doctor or lady DOCTOR" but near
~ all English women, except those of
the highest class, object to being called
either women or females Female
doctors is a term which will not pass
muster, and we cannot accept Mr.
Whites other suggestion, that the
shortest way out of the difficulty
would be for women to mind their own
household duties, and not intrude upon
the occupations proper to men,
