OF covering, the Oriental effects are
almost exclusively used, as harmonic

furniture. The day OF gilt and onyx Is
over, so very brighttoned carpets and
rugs have passed into obscurlty with
them. There Is one exception TO this
rule. however, and that II the popular
ity of the blue and white and red and
white Chinese rugs. The .ormer are
more sought, but the latter are very
desirable, too. In reality the red OF
these rugs is so subdued IL In more
like a dark. strong old rose than an ac

Deafness Cannot he 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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when il is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED forever
Nine CAGES out of ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing out an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

case of Deafness Caused by catarrh), that can

THE great coal strike has at last been brought to termina- ton. President Roosevelt de- parted from the ordinary and used his office for the purpose of mediating between the waring forces of capital and labor and succeeded in getting the miners and mine operators to submit the question of dispute to arbitration. This is no doubt a long step in the direction of getting such leg islation by congress as will en- able such disputes in the future to be settled by court of arbi- tration. Strikes are of much more magnitude and the conse- quences far more serious than most of us residing away from the great centers nave any idea of.
