Deafness Cannot be Cured


 by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion ot the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remidles. Deaf ness is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in,lamed you have a rubbing sound of imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness Is the result, and unlcs the information can be taken out and this tube restored to it's nor mal condition, hearing will be dis troyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused hy eatarrh, which is nothing but an infammed con dition of the mucous surfaces.

A Couple of the Celebrated Come
dinn's Practical Jokes.


Many stories are told of Sothern's
original methods Of entertaining his
friends at dinner, and possibly the
most amusing Is that of the belated
guest. When, late in the dinner, this
friend was announced, Mr.. Sothern ex-
claimed, Let us all hide under the
table" and down they all went save
Mr.. Sothern himself, who remained
seated. When the tardy guest entered,
Mr.. Sothern rose and received him
with exquisite courtesy, saying. when
your name was announced, my guests,
for some unaccountable reason, all hid
under the table" After a few mo-
ments of discomfort one by one they
crept out and back to their seats.

Mrs. Vincent this account Of an out

In his parlor at the Revere House: As
the guests, ten in number, were gath

a stout, pompous waiter, afflicted with
short breath, added the last touches to
his dinner table, already spread. Ten
large, square pieces OF bread were
placed with mathematical precision
one at each plate, and then he left the
room to bring the wine. Mr.. Sothern
saw his opportunity and, calling his
dog cried: "Tiger, the breadl Quick,

hound bounded lightly upon the table

bewildered, the waiter, seeing no bread
upon the table, hesitatingly turned to
the door, then retraced his steps TO

hurriedly left the room. He soon re-
appeared with fresh plate Of bread,
and again at each plate a piece was
carefully placed, and he retired with
the empty plate. "Quick. Tigerl Fetch

And once more each piece was re.

The question is often asked, At what
time of day should fruit be eaten? In
tropical countries, where fruit Is the
chief article of food, the rule appears
to be that the earlier in the day it is
taken the better and the later the
worse. In hot weather many wise
people viii eat none after noon. alleg-
ing that The digestion then declines in
power with the decline OF the day and
the fruit, instead of digesting, decom-
poses owing to the presence of the sac
charine matter. The objection to fruit
and certain kinds Of vegetables late In
the day, be the explanation what It
may, is certainly justified by an ample
experience, though some persons can
eat fruit at all hours without feeling
any Inconvenience. Table Talks.
