-=-.es By Fishes.

The Koran gives story OF some very
naughty fishes in David time. Know
ing that the Israelites were forbidden
to catch fish on the Sabbath, the wicked
creatures came ont of the Red sea in
unusual numbers and kept in sight of
the people all throughout the day in
order to tempt them. On the approach
OF night they returned into the sea
again.
In fatal moment some Of The Israel
ties yielded to the piscine blandish-
ments. caught several of them and had
them for dinner. whereupon David
cursed the Sabbath breakers, and God,
to show his .displeasure. changed them
into apes and pigs. For three days they
remained in this unpleasant condition,
when a violent storm arose and swept
them into the sea.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

are not such bad people after all. Ac-
cording to a Pekin dispatch at a smok-

he said: LET kings, ministers and

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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have a 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 tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases ont of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Short Skirt

woman no longer appears on the
clinging vine order. Quite indepen-
dent, almost aggressive, she steps
forth, nor indeed can too much be said
of the independent skirts. Narrow
ness in cut prevents too much weight:
they take a most important position
and, finished with the S. H. and NJ. bias
velveteen binding, are most stylish
and practical as well. For house or
dressy wear nevertheless, there is
grace in long skirt that is peculiarly

is really as commendable as the short

more so because framed in immense

certainly does not characterize the new
