Pretty Pieces of Furniture That Con-
tribute to Comfort Ia Warm
Weather.

In the greater part of the hickory
furniture, which comes in all suitable
rustic designs, the backs and seats
are made of tough hickory sphnts
woven. In some of these arm-chairs,
with rockers or without, there is the
ordinary high back, in others there is
a back piece which comes to the Shout
ders and a head piece little above.
says the New York Times.
There are settees with sides and
backs of these woven splints, woven
couches made the shape of wicker
couches, and some small settees with
rungs in the back. In many of the
made with the numbers of brass-head-
ed nails with which they are orna-
mented.
One of the most satisfactory pieces
of this furniture, for the ordinary
mortal who has piazza, but not a
sufficiently rustic house to make the
hickory in good taste for indoor use,
is the swinging seat, broad and long,
which, with plenty of cushions, is a
deilghJ and joy forever all through
the summer. The reasonable prices
which the simplicity of the furniture
makes possible is to be seen in these
seats, which can be found for six dol
lars, with the ringsready for hanging
and only the chain or rope to be sup
Piled. A seat of this kind is 40 inches
long by 10 inches deep. The back and
seat are of the tough hickory splints.
Tables come in the hickory furni-
ture in many styles, with legs of the
large branches or small trees. There
are tables large enough for a break
fast table-no leaves, the table is "a
ways one size-and there are small
fancy tables with under shelves, and
among the smallest there are tops of
the woven hickory splints, while the
others are of hickory boards. A
square table with woven top will cost
$3.50, and the curved limbs which form
The supports make it very attractive
There are cradles of the woven
splints and woodwork, and a pretty
idea has been the manufacture of the
old reproductions of old-fashioned
cradles, combined cradle and rocking
chair. The mother sitting in the high
backed rocker at one end of the era

also. There are pretty little tete-a-
tete chairs, footstools, and even dolls
furniture in the hickory. The chairs
range in price from SITS to Sc and ST,
according to size and amount of work.
All the furniture, while simple, is put
together by hand, which is part of
the secret of it's durability.
The woman who uses this kind of
furniture must bring out her old blu

and she will have a pretty and ideal
summer home or piazza nook. A pi-
a2za furnished with this rustic furni-
turs is delightful. One good thing
about the furniture is that it is ex-
ceedingly comfortable. The shapes
are good, and the round Stats or woven
splints have certain elasticity, with
feeling of strength which makes an
excellent combination

Deafness cannot Be Curaa

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 inhamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets infamed you have a rumblinp
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely cIosed 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;

A vERITABLE BOOK WORM.
Master of Ten Languages Dies After
Living ON Bread and Water
Five Years.

Albert Lindmaier, master of ten Ian
guages, has. just died in Bellevue hos
pital, New York, where he was known
under an assumed name. His death
was due as much as anything else to
the fact that for five years he lived on
bread and water. Lindmaier lived in
a Bowery lodging house. He went to
bed at an early hour, taking with him
two loaves of bread and a can of wa
ter, and while the light lasted he read
the books and munched the bread.
He was as omnivorous in his read
ing as he was frugal in his fare. He
readnewspapers in all languages. What
little he saved he spent at the book
stalls, reserving only few cents a
day for his living expenses.
