Deafness is caused by an Inhsmed con-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il is en-

BURYING AN IRON RAIL.
Notes and Queries.

The brother OF a friend OF mine
was some few years since a curate
in one Of the irOu-working towns
of Lancashire. One day a man in
the parish of which be had charge
fell iuto n furnace Of molten metal,
and of course vanished forever.
The comrades Of the poor fellow
were greatly concerned, and did
not rest until the CITRATE had con-
scented to bury with religious rites
one of the rails into which the iron
was run.
The rail selected was enclosed in

IN CONGRESS.

Washington, Apr. 9.-Mr. Cullom
of Illinois made vigorous protest in
the Senate on Tuesday against the
passage of the Chinese exclusioun bill
in its present form. Coming from
the chairman of the committee on for
eign relations this protest made deep
impression on the Senate. Mr.. Gull
lom expressed himself as in favor of
the exclusion of Chinese laborers, but
insisted that many of the provisions
of the pending measure were in con-
travention of our treaty obligations
with China.
Mr.. Paterson of Colorado and Mr..
Perkins of California supported the
bill, maintaining that it did not con-
travene existing treaties, because by
the convention of 1894, China agreed
that Chinese laborers should be ex-
cluded from this country.
This was the first day of the debate
on the Cuban reciprocity bill in the
House. 1t was entirely lacking in
any sensational incidents. The vote
on the motion to go into committee
of the whole to consider the bill, de-
veloped the lines of cleavage and
showed that the Democrats are quite
as much divided on the question as
the majority. In the division which
is regarded as practically test vote
on the measure, lib Republicans and
siXty-three Democrats voted for the
motion and forty one Democrats and
thirty-nine Republicans against it.
The vote was rather embarrassing
for the Dem ocrats because the minor
lty had called conference to agree
upon a course of action. The vote
forced the hands of the Democrats as
individuals before they had held their
caucus.
Washington, Apr. 10. -Throughout
Wednesdays session of the Senate the
Chinese exclusion bill was under con-
sideration. Mr.. Gallinger of New
Hampshire and Mr.. Dillingham; of
Vermont opposed the bill and Mr.. Tur-
ner of Washington supported it. Mr..
Galllnger urged that the measure was
unnecessary, unjust and un-American
and was clearly in contravention of
our treaty obligations with China.
Mr.. Turner appealed to the Senate
to pass the bill not merely to protect
the people of the Pacific States but
to prevent the entire body polite
from being contaminated by the Chin
csc.
Mr. Dillingham; said he wash earthly
in favor of a law which would ex-
clude Chinese laborers in accordance
with the treaty of 1894. The present

Geary law bad served an excellent
purpose and was without serious Oh
jectionable features. He Thought
that, with two or three minor amend
ments, the present law would satisfy
any reasonable advocate of Chinese
exclusion. The dangers of the admis-
sion of Chinese, had been exaggerat-
ed, he thought, and were not as serious
as had been pictured. No good rea-
son had been advanced for a change,
which, he asserted, would be enor-
mously expensive, as new, set of ma
ohinery for the enforcement of the law
would have to be put in motion
The feature of the second days de-
bate III the House on the Cuban reel
procity bill was an impassioned speech
in opposition to the measure bv vii.
liam a. Smith, Michigan republi-
can A group of Michigan beet sugar
manufacturers in the gallery were in
his audience and he was loudly ap-
plauded when he assailed the Repub-
lican leaders who are advocating the
bill, charging them with being false
to the republican doctrine of protec-
ton. He announced that he was will
ing to vote to override the chair to
support an amendment to remove the
ditferential from refined sugar.
Washington, Apr. 11.-An effort
was made in the Senate late on Thurs
daYto obtain an agreement for a vote
on the Chinese exclusion bill, but it
was unsuccessful. The indications
are now that the vote will be taken
next Tuesday The measure was un.
der discussion during the entire SEES
sion Thursday except for about an
hour, during which time the post
Office appropriation bill was consider
ed and passed. Three speeches were
made against the Chinese bill in its
present form, Mr.. Dillingham; of Yer
mont concluding the remarks he be-
gan on Wednesday.
Mr.. Dillingham; maintained that
some provisions of the bill were I'M
constitutional and contended that
there was no country where the pros
pect OF commercial growth was as
good as it was in China Instead of
having one-tenth of the trade of that
great domain we should have a third
OF It, He would have the bill perfect
ed to the extent necessary to protect
American labor, but would liberalize
the provisions for merchants, students
and travellers
The debate on the Cuban reciprocity
bill in the House on Thursday was
devoid of enlivening features. The
most notable speech of the day was
made by Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio. He
answered the critics who have charg-
ed him with inconsistency by saying
that reciprocity was sound Republi-
can doctrine and that tariff schedules
were not sacred He predicted that
the time would come although it had
not yet arrived, when there would be
an memorable demand for revision of
the present rates. Mr.. Prince of I'LL
nois made strong speech against the
measure.

EASTERN METHODS ON WEST
ERN LANDS.

The Farmer Guide tells of an east
ern farmer who was making his first
visit to large farm in North Dakota.
They were then drawing in the flax
from large field to be threshed. He
noticed that much was left in the field
and inquired when they intended to
gather it up. They said they never
bothered with the scatterings out
there, and when he spoke about the
waste he was offered team and Wap-
on to gather it up if he wanted it and
all he could get out of the rakings. 1t
took him about two hours to gather a
load which he took to the ma chine
and had threshed, getting thirteen
bushels Of clean faxseed, worth 81. As
bushel, or 1855 for two hours
work. This is one of the "leaks on
the farm that not infrequently occur
when an effort is made to go over a
large area, rather than to work a
smaller space and work it as thorough
ly as possible. Western farmers who
have occasion to visit New England
often laugh at our small fields and
patches of this or that product, "pock-
ct handkerchief size,' they say, but
1T is by doing the work thoroughly on
these little plots that money is made
and saved. We have often heard of
the slovenly or careless farmer or hir.
ed man, who cleft his days wages
behind him every day." in work not
well done, and if the farmer is so the
hired men are apt to be so, and they
only get half what they might get for
their labor Prairie Farmer

EXTRA EARLY POTATOES.

If you are ambitious to be ahead Of
your neighbors i'll early potatoes, and
the spring should prove cold and back
ward, start your potatoes in sand.
Use broad shallow boxes not to exceed
three inches in depth, with an inch
of sand in the bottom. Cut potatoes,
two eyes to the piece, or more if you
desire put them into pail or other
deep vessel and cover them with
generous sprinkling of sulphur. AS
you pick the pieces out one by one,
the sulphur will rattle down through
the mass and pretty thoroughly cover
them. Set them eyes up, closely to-
gether in the sand, and when the
layer is complete sprinkle on sufficient
sand to nearly cover them. Moisten
well and set in a partially darkened
room with temperature of forty five
to fifty degrees and leave them to
grow until ready for planting. When
ready to plant put the plows onto the
wheel hoe, set them closely together
and open the trenches. Drop the seed
pieces fifteen inches apart, being very
careful not to break off the sprouts in
handling. Now reverse the plows
with moldboards turning in and set
widely apart run the machine astride
the rows, which will throw the soil
back into the burrows, and the pota-
toes will be covered as rapidly as one
cares to walk. They will be up in
from three days to a week, owing to
length of sprouts when planted, and
they will stand head and shoulders
above those planted in the old way
from start to finish. The sulphur is
to some extent, preventive of scab,
and it also preserves the seed pieces
much longer, which l think is de-
cided advantage Rural New Yorker.

other words, nature is anticipated in
her work, and the animals system is
saved a call upon it.
Second-A clipped horse is less IL
able to take cold than long coated
horse, because the evaporation of per-
spiration is much more rapid. A
"hot" horse will cool out quicker
with n short coat. Every groom is
aware of this fact.
Third-A clipped horse requires less
fuel food to maintain bodily heat
than the long coated horse therefore
clipping as matter of economy should
be generally practiced
Fourth-A clipped horse looks clean
er, acts more sprightly and keeps in
better health. Horses intended for
the sale or show ring should be clip
ped at least two weeks before the
event. There will be marked inn
provement i'll weight and appearance,
with manifest advantage to the own
er's pocket book.
These points about cover the ground.
We add that clipping machines are so
cheap that all horse owners can afford
to have one.

RED GLOVER.
