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 infanled con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less the Inflammation can be taken.out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition hearing will be DESTROYED for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

TOADS IN FOLKLORE.
Sicilian Superstition Concerning the
Ugly Little Creatures.

Ugly Little Creatures.
The toad has prominent place in
folklore. We find the ugly little crea-
ture distinguished in popular tradition
and that in its most permanent prov
ince, In local worship and belief. The
survival is SO strange in itself and 81
well fitted to illustrate the primitive
character Of fairy mythology that ii
may be accorded particular attention.
According to the statements of DR..
q. Pitre, contained in his excellent ac-
count of Sicilian tradition. the faith of
that island still recognizes supernatu-
raj beings known as dome di fuora

tributes in common with the fairies of
England. Like the latter. during the
nighttime they enter houses, where
they expect to find everything in order

cred to result from their kindness.
sickness and poverty from their perse-
cution.
1t is q peculiar feature of their habits
that they visit the domicile not on any
evening indiferently, but only Oh
Thursday, making their entrance by
the keyhole or by cracks of doors. II

the cottage. they change into toads and

the toad is sacred, because it is impos.
sible to be sure that any particular

the house.

denunciations OF the present methods

The largest part CT the existing war

THE INNS OF CHINA.
Their Cheapness Is About Their one
Redeening Feature.

Chinese inns are without register or
clerks. On riding through the gateway
your bride rein is seized by dirty
boy, who helps you to dismount, Shout
ing loudly meanwhile for the propries
tor, who presently looms up through
the wilderness of carts and mules. Pro-
prietor and boy then hold parley as
to what rooms are eligible, and then q
door is pushed open and the traveller is
shown to his apartment. 1t is usually
about twelve feet square. The walls
and floor are of hard mud, and so are
the beds, which extend entirely across
the side of the room, with only space
enough between them for small table
and one chair. The room is lighted by
one window, in which paper takes tho
place of glass. Y
The first duty Of the proprietor Ia
making patron comfortable is to stop
UP the holes in the paper window pane
Re never tears the paper off entirely
and replaces it with new one, be-
cause the sheet Of paper is worth
about one-tenth Of cent, and the INF.
keeper is not wasteful. Indeed he
pastes little slips Of paper over the
holes until all the light that filters
through It is of notified hue.
At one end Of the mule shed is the
kitchen Of the inn. 1t is here that the
meals for all the patrons are prepared,
10 be eaten in the rooms. The menu is
not elaborate. 1t consists only Of bowls
of rice ana tea. Should the traveller de.
sire greater variety Of food. he can
buy it himself in the market, and his
own servant can co5k it in the kitchen
of the inn. To sleep on the bed of Il
Chinese inn would lie for Il foreigner
an impossibility were it rot that he Is
always so exhausted ut the end OF
each days journey that he finds it diff
licult to remain awake ten minutes
after alighting from his pony He lies
down on the mat that covers the hard
heap Of mud and surprises himself az
the soundness of his slumber.
The one redeeming thing about the
inn is its chcapness. Just as the trav,
eler is about to depart in the morning
the proprietor tells him the amount oe'
his bill. Everything is charged OH the
European PLAN" Every cup OF tea,
every rushlight candle, the paper win
dow pane, are all itemiZed in the long
list which the proprietor reels off In
singsong, but the total is surprisingly
low. The cost of food and lodging for
one night for traveller and two serv.
ants, with stabling and fodder for his
ponies and cart mules, is about 90
cents.-New York Mail and Express,

Detroit, Mich, April 26.-Friday af-
ternoon Frank Colling, 16-year-old
boy, OF 81 Scott street, shot John
Beinhardt, aged AZ, who lives next
door, killing him almost instantly.
Reinhardt became engaged in an a.
tercation with young Cclling, who re-
ferred to Reinhardt as drunkard. and
told him that he ought to be ashamed
to sit around while his wife was out
working. Reinhardt, who is a stone
mason, had his tools near by, and
when young Colling furthered his
threats by picking up an ak, Reinhardt
grasped stone mallet and advanced
towards him. The boy then pulled
revolver from a holster in a belt he
wore and fired at Reinhardt's feet. He
sent second bullet into Reinhardts
leg above the knee, another in his alb
domen and still another in his breast
The latter penetrated the heart. Rein.
hardt crawled a few feet from the
yard into shed and died.
Young Colling Immediately took tc
MS heels, pursued by several
persons who were near and heard
the shots. He gave them quite a chase
and several times turned on his pur-
suers, threatening to shoot, but was
finally oyertaken and captured by
