Affection Of Seals.

Natural affection of seals Gin their
wild state) is well shown in the fol-
lowing anecdotes: A gentleman living
in Oregon, on the ocean shore, one
day caught in very simple manner a
young seal. It had been stranded on
the plank wharf by receding tide,
and left high and uncomfortably dry
as we'll. 1t had not strength to wad-
die into the water, and no one to
teach it the tricks of it's tribe. The
gentleman kept the little glossy crea-
ture for several days, and then in pity
turned it into it's native element. It
came to the wharf every night and
whimpered so that he was obliged to
take it out again and keep it in a
small tank, the seal giving every dem.
onstration of affection, after the man
ner of young dog.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion Of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an inaamed con-
dition OF the lining OF the Eustachan Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a rumbng
sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten caused by ca
tarrh. which is nothing but an indamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. =

The Dancing Coin.

To do this trick you need a long,
fine black silk thread with a very
small piece of beeswax on the end
of it, After you pass the coin around
among the audience you press the
end Of the silk thread that carries
the beeswax against the coin so hard
that it will stick. Then throw the
coin into a glass and step away, and
at your command it will dance about
and up an down as you please The
thread passes over the edge of the
glass and through a number of very
small eyelet holes sewed fast to the
black table cloth, and elsewhere,

Do not ask the teacher to parse all

Original 9ketchina

For this every one must be supplied
with paper and pencil.
On the paper a sketch representing
some very we'll known incident, either
in history or 4 novel, must be drawn
no matter how badly.
AS soon as the sketches are com.
pleted, each player passes his TO- his
left hand neighbor, who examines it
and writes his comments on tho
sketch, and also the scene he thinks it
represents on another piece of paper.
Then he turns down the paper to cover
his comments, and passes both papers
to his left hand neighbor, and so on
round the whole circle. When all
have been round, the comments are
opened and read aloud. The player
who guesses the greatest number cor
rectly is sometimes given a prize.

The Reward of Service.

The Reward Of Service.
The sweetest lives are those to duty wed,
Whose deeds, both great and small.
Are close-knit strands Of an unbroken
thread,
Where love ennobles all,
The world may sound no trumpets, ring
no bells;
The Book of Life the shining record tells.
Thy love shall chant its own beatitudes
After it's own life working. A child's kiss
Set on thy singing lips shall make thee
glad;
A poor man served by thee shall make
thee rich;
A sick man helped by thee shall make
thee strong;
Thou shalt be served thyself by every
sense
OF service which thou renderest.
