WOUNDS HEALED BY MUSIC.
derful Eject ON q DYING
Man

A man was conveyed to hospital
in Paris, suffering from an accident
which resulted in serious wound.
This wound refused to heal, and all the
various treatments applied 70 it failed
to effect the desired end. The man
was attacked from time to time by vi
olent paroxysms, and death appeared
certain. At length the surgeon en-
listed the services of a good violin
player and treated the sufferer to a
musical remedy. The patients par
oxysms ceased, and from that time
the wound began to Leal. The violin
playing was continued at intervals till
recovery was assured.
In another case the wound continued
to suppurate despite all that could be
done; the patient was calm and re-
signed; but nothing could be done for
the wound. The violin was called into
requisition in this. instance also, and
the instrument was played close to the
injured part, which was barred for the
purpose. The surgeon soon observed a
change; the wound assumed a healthier
appearance, and the process of healing
began and progressed rapidly.
It is an undoubted fact that certain
vibrations can effect cures, but the vi.
brations must be strictly in accordance
with the malady or nature Of the
wound. Some enthusiasts go SO far as
as to assert that the character of in
dividuals can be changed by the con-
slant application of the proper vibra-
ton vs..

II was the marketman who spoke:

the effect that life must DO uncom-
monty delightful when led amid such
an array of delicate-hued Malaga
grapes, golden oranges, crisp green
lettuce and bright Florida tomatoes
as that presented by his establish
ment, relates the New York Times.
Take this afternoon, for instance"
he commented. Everything appears
to be going along smoothly, doesn't
it? Yet I'm at my wits end. You
haven't an idea of what serious
thing it is in this business to have to
discharge well-trained clerk and
take on a green one. When it's de-
livery clerk who has been with you
three years, who has to go, it's little
short of a catastrophe.

lust came on the force this morning.
He'll probably get things all mixed
up-deliver orders to wrong places
so that some woman's worst enemy
will learn that she buys round steak
instead of porterhouse-keep people
waiting for their dinners, and cause
me all sorts of trouble, not because
he means to do so, but because he
hasn't got the run of my particular
business. All this will be caused by
five-cent bar of laundry soap.
"You think that statements over
drawn? Well, I'll explain. One of
our most profitable customers came
in here on Saturday and left an order
with Joe. It wasn't Joe's place to
take orders, and suppose it was just
bad luck-his or mine-that caused
him to be standing at the door on
this particular occasion. He had
been here as delivery clerk for three
years, and was prize, I tell you!
"The order was for bar Of soap,
to be sent Immediately The double
team, hitched to the big wagon that
we use for suburban deliveries, was
standing out front. Joe got the big
gest market basket in the store, put
the bar of soap into it, deposited IL
in the wagon and drove off at furi-
GUS gait.
THE CUSTOMER 1ady-lives in the
neighborhood of the store, SO he
hadn't far to go. He backed the
wagon up to the door, took down the
tailboard and, with what was appar-
emily mighty effort, he dragged out
the basket and delivered the soap.
II didn't see any of the perform
ance, though, according to the lady,
the whole neighborhood did, but I
got the details from both sides. Joe
said the lady might have taken the
soap with her, as she was going di-
rectly home, and we always keep nice,
white paper on hand. The lady said
1t was gross impertinence on Joe's
part. So, when it came to deciding
between highly profitable customer,
whom I couldn't well afford to lose,
and Joe, of course Joe had to go.
How did he know that she went right
home after leaving the order? Why,
he watched her, he said.
That's just an example of some Of
the things that we grocers have to
deal with. 1 wouldn't have men
toned the matter, but it has gotten

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iniamed con-

tachian Tube. When this tube is in

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be

normal condition, hearing will be de-

are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

TALK OF CONTEST.

A howl is being made all over the
state on account of the throwing out of
ballots stamped opposite the words
mo nomination. There is no ques-
tion that both parties lost heavily from
this cause. The supreme court. has
held that cross so placed is a dis
tinguishing mark within the meaning
of the law, and that ballots so marked
should be rejected. In nearly every
county in the state there were vacancies
on the ticket, designated in this man.
ner. In some counties the republicans
were at disadvantage in this respect,
while in others the democrats were the
losers. In Amador county the repub-
icans had one untitled space of this
character on the county ticket, in the
Office of recorder, while both republi-
cans and democrats had one or more in
each township for township officers.
Outside of Jackson, however, we have
not heard that any votes were rejected
because of their being stamped in either
of these spaces. The matter was
brought to the attention of several
election boards, and they decided to
count such ballots. In North Jackson,
East Jackson, and West Jackson a
number of ballots were rejected on this
score, amounting in all to about 30.
They were all republican tickets, as
the democratic ticket had no untitled
place in township one. In rejecting
them, the boards acted at the request
of democratic attorneys, who appeared
before them and urged them to take
this course, on the strength of a de-
cision of the supreme court to that
effect. The republican vote on the
head of the ticket would have been at
least 40 more had it not been for this
action. We do not believe in disfran-
chising a citizen on such frivolous
grounds. If such technical construc-
tions of the law are to govern, it is not
surprising that the repeal of the Aus
tralian voting system is being agitated.
In number of precincts in this coun-
ty the number of ballots counted for
governor fell Is per cent short of the
total number of votes cast. This is a
serious discrepancy, and out of all pro-
portion to the lost votes under the old
system. With all its faults, however,
the present ballot law is an improve
ment on the old-time method. The
cry for its repeal will meet with scant
favor. In the end, the discussion which
has resulted from the t'no nomination
feature, will probably lead to a more
liberal Interpretation of the law in re-
gard to distinguishing marks, or a
modification of the law, so that such a
simple mistake on the part of the voter
shall not warrant the throwing out OF
the entire ballot. The talk of contest
ing the election of Pardee on this score
is moonshine. The democrats fully
believed they were going to land their
man in the governors chair, and they
found morsel of comfort in the de-
lusion that had the rejected ballots
been counted the outcome would have
been different, They kicked in both
directions. They were loud in demand.
ing that ballots so marked should be
thrown out in Amador and other coun.
ties; they are now equally loud in say
ing that such votes should have been
counted in other counties where their
candidates were the chief sufferers.
