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 cured by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tuble
gets inhamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tuble restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by cattarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous sufaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caus by
catarrh) that can not be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

CONTINUES TO IMPROVE.
Physicians no Longer Hold Consultations
Over Mrs. Mckinley.

Washington, June 17.-Mrs. McKin-
ley's condition continues to improve
and there was no consultation of physi-
clans at the White House during the
day. Surgeon General Sternberg, one
of the consulting physicians, left for
the Philippines and DR.. Rixey did not
consider it necessary to call in DR..
Johnston, the other consulting physi-
clan. If the present Improvement goes
on it is expected that Mrs. Mckinley
will be able to travel soon after July
/. The president will then accompany
her to Canton where the Mckinley
home has been made ready to receive
her.
How long the president and Mrs. Nc
Kinley will remain in Canton will de-
pend upon the benefit Mrs. Mckinley
receives from her stay at her old home.
After she has been there for some time
if the weather is oppressively warm
and her physician recommends a
change, the president probably will
take her to some quiet place in the
mountains or at the seashore. In any
event when the president departs for
Canton with Mrs. Mckinley early In
July it will be to remain from Wash
ington for the remainder Of the heated
term. He might return for day or
two once or twice during the summer
hut he will not again take up his abode
at the White House until fall.

The serious reverse which Lord

F1attery From the Mirror.

Does your mirror do you JUSTICE
You may think not. Or perhaps you
would like it to fatter you just a little
If so, you can arrange it so the glass
will reflect in more complimentary
manner than usual. If you do, you on
ly have to know the milliner's Oldest
secret, and the thing is done.
Did you ever notice the softest drap-
cry Of pure white hung about mirror ?
That is the trick. After your mirror of
faultless glass is thoroughly polished
frame it in pure white gauze, with the
material gathered in the center at the
top and falling wavelike on either SIDE
Then notice the effect. The true tints
Of the complexion will be there little
emphasized. The expression Of the
countenance, the light Of the eye, the
color of the hair, will be accurately re-
dected, all softened and made more
harmonious than your mirror showed
them before the gauze was used. You
may believe that that subtle bit Of
white materially makes the glass tell
nearer the truth than it did without It,

Rnrr,a SELF Control

Aaron Burr was ~ nature and ira IN
ing man of extraordinary self con-
troll. He allowed no circumstances to
throw him off his balance. An anec-
dote told by Rufus Choate to the late
Richard H. Dana, recorded in Mr..
Dana's "Diary" illustrates the callous-
ness which aided Burr so greatly in
controlling himself. Several years after
the death Of Hamilton, killed by Burr
in duel, Burr visited Boston, and Mr.
Devereux of Salem paid him some at
tentions. The visitor was taken to the
Boston atheneum, where, while the
two men were walking through the gal
lery Of sculpture, Mr.. Devereux hap
pened to catch sight of bust of Ham
ilton. ia
The thought flashed across his mind
that Burr might not care to be con-
fronted with the sight of the features
of the man he had slain. But no. Burr
was undisturbed. He also espied the
bust, and, although Mr.. Devereux had
instinctively turned away, he walked
up to 1t and said in a loud tone: "Ah.
Here is Hamilton Then, passing his
fingers along certain lines Of the face,
he added, There was the poetry"
Hamilton's contemporaries gave him
credit for possessing poetic mind.
