Diplomacy a Fine Art.

Diplomacy is a fine art. and in its sue
cessful practice much depends upon the
observation of social conventions. Some
of the most successful diplomats seem
to spend the most of their time at din
ners and parties. apparently doing
nothing but enjoying themselves, but in
reality serving well their countries. In
truth, the reputation of a country at a
foreign court, and oftimes its welfare in
important issues. depends largely upon
the social abilities OF its minister, for
the man who is popular socially is very
likely to drive a better bargain than his
unsociable brother. This is well under
stood at Washington, and the selection
of a chief for one Of our foreign embas-
sizes depends in no small part upon his
social culture.-Woman's Home Com

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 inAamed con-
dition of the mucuous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be take,
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroy ed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothin.
but an infamed condition of the mu-
cuous surfaces.
