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
institutional re medles. Deafness is caused
by an iDiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it 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 cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh cure. Send

LETTER TO II. w. BLAIR,
BARTON, VT

BARTON, VT.
Dear Sir: You an artist what do you
know about paint?
White lead is 1000 years old, and zinc about
80. The Greeks knew white lead,
Lead and oil is oldfashion paint and zinc
is baby comparatively. But zinc, if proper
ly ground with lead, prolongs the life of the
paint from about three years at the most, to
six.
Do you know that? 1t isn't your business
to know it; but you are an artist The sun ,
that paints for you, destroys lead and oil, but
scarcely affects Devoe.
Devoe is the paint that lasts six years; yes
two or three times six years in favorable
conditions.
Yours truly,
rs F. w. DEvoE & Co.

The Low-voiced Woman.

1t has long been conceded that a
pleasant voice is one of woman's
greatest charms. And many of US
can verify this truth for ourselves by
recalling the sweet influence of some
woman, who, like the lovely Cordelia
spake in accents soft and low.
A pretty face and musical voice
go we'll together, but of the two, the
latter is preferable. The power of
truly good woman possessing such a
gift cannot be overestimated, espe-
cially if she is refined and intellectual.
Her harmonious tones fall with
restful cadence upon the ear of the in
valid. They are peace for the weary,
balm for the sorrowful, and are fire.
quently more efficacious than a SER
mon in touching the obdurate hearts
of the hayward.
On the contrary, we sometimes find
rare beauty of feature seriously
marred by the incongruity of dis
agreeable voice. 1t is said of the
Empress Eugene that the stranger
was enraptured with her wonderful
beauty, but the moment she spoke
all admiration was forgotten in the
unpleasant sensation caused by her
! harsh voice.
Any woman, no matter how great
her natural defects may be, can, with
few exceptions, bring her voice

GERMANY'S ATTITUDE.

Omcially IntimateA That Request
For Arbitration Comes Too Late.
Berlin. Dec. 16.-It IL intimated in Of
fetal circles here that the proposal OF
President Castro OF Venezuela to sub
nit the claims against that country to
arbitration have been received too late.
AS result there will be no hesitation
in carrying out the aggressive policy
which has been begun. No indication
has been given as to the exact course
to be pursued, but 1t is believed that
other ports will be shelled by the war
ships and marines landed If an aDso-
lutte surrender of their position il not
made by the Venezuelans.
In official quarters here it is SAID
that the Venezuelan vessels sunk on
La Guayra were old and worthless rev.
enue cutters and unfit to go to sea and
that the other ships captured have
been sent to certain West Indian port
to be rented for use during the block
ade. The destruction Of the Venezue-
Ian craft. it is added, was necessary
in order to prevent them from falling
into the hands of the VeneZuelans. as
the German vessels had to leave La
! Guayra.
Lieutenant Commander Tuerk, first
officer of the German cruiser Gazelle
has taken command of the captured
Venezuelan gunboat Restaurador

So soon as the Restaurador has com
pleted her equipment at Port of Spain

The hope IS growing here that such
a declaration can. after ALL be avoided
owing to the energy with which Mr..
Bowen has acted. The proposal of
President Castro TO the allied powers
for a peaceful settlement was suggest
ed 10y Mr.. Bowen. and it came to the
state department through his hands
1t has been forwarded to London and
Berlin through the embassies here, and
as both Great Britain and Germany
have heretofore professed desire to
settle the issues peacefully, it is hoped
.,nt they will avail themselves of this
opportunity.
The proposal did not mention the
method of arbitration nor the limita-
tinns. and the point of doubt which
may prevent the acceptance of the
scheme is believed to be CastrO's I'M
WILLINGNESS to bind himself in advance
to thn recognition of the principle OF
liability. He would leave the arbitra
