Unconscious Humor of Applicants
 Seeking to Enter Navy.
 Prospective recruits for the United States navy are furnished with a cir cular mentioning the different trades desired in the navy and the pay for competent workmen at these callings, says the Buffalo Enquirer Quite ire quently the recruiting office receives letters from young men who wish to enlist and pursue work that is not mentioned in the catalogue. A few days ago several humorous notes were received. One young man, who stated his height to be five feet, wished to enlist as cavalier" Whether he intended to join the horse marines, who became famous from being con- nected with Captain links, he did not say. Another letter was received in which the applicant explained that he was competent undertaken, and still another wished to be employed as a candymaker.
 These applications are always pre- served, and the collection which can be found in any recruiting office would make interesting reading for any one who can appreciate unconscious humor.

..DRINK.

Only a small number of theater- goers enjoyed the treat which was of fered to them at Polls theater last night. That clever English actor, Charles Warner, made his first ap- pearance in fnis city and, sad to say, his reception was not what an actor of his ability deserves. In absenting themselves from the performance of that great moral play by Charles Reade. entitled Drink" theater-goers missed a rare treat. But though MT Warmers reception was cold in point of numbers. yet it was warm in the enthusiasm manifested by those pres
 ent. Generous was the applause and at the end of the fifth act MT Warner had to respond with speech. Drink is a melodrama in six acts and may be considered sermon on inte1npe erance- much stronger sermon than made by any speaker As the name suggests
 the play deals with the ravages and evils wrought by the sin of intemper- ance. It depicts how a man, strong and robust. cheerful and gay, with a happy wife and lowing child, may for get all, may forsake all in order to give free rein to the unbridled course Of drunkenness. The part of Coupean
 the eruring husband and father, was finely portrayed by Charles Warner. Early in the play he acts the part of the jolly,and merry laborer, whose sole desire is to earn a living for his wife and child,, in a clever manner. His mirth and joy radiates the audience, It is irresistible. As he resists the i'm
 portunities of his friends to have just one drink, as he gradually, acquiesces in their request, as he finally submits and takes the fatal glass, which is the forerunner of many more, his acting is grand grand owing to it's being nat

It was so read that it was very narrowing and gruesome. It was difficult piece of acting, we'll done. Mir Warmer was supported by good company and tho play was well staged.

A Clever Canary.

Remarkable cleverness is some
times displayed by birds. 81 had a
canary" said gentleman, ''between
the wires of whose cage 1 used to
fix a piece of lump sugar. One day
it dropped out and when picked up
was found to be quite wet on one
side. This surprised me, and l re-
placed it in the cage, with the dry
side inward, and determined to
watch the birds proceedings. After
a few Intellectual attempts on the
hard sugar the bird went to the wa
ter glass, filled its bill, dropped the
water ON the sugar and repeated this
several times. When the sugar was
thus softened it began to eat it. APP
parently here was thought-a cal
culation of means and use of

A Blanket Battle.

Once at least the domestic blanket
has decided the issue of battle and
led to the complete rout of an army.
1t was generation ago, when the
Yakui Indians rose in rebellion
against the government of Mexico,
and the rebels were at last brought
face to face with the Mexican army.
When the Indians advanced to the
attack they sent in advance cover
ing line of men carrying a bulwark
of wet blankets. In vain the Mexi-
cans tried to destroy this barrier
with their bullets. Not a single
blanket was penetrated, and when
the Indians were sufficiently near
they emerged from their shelter
and, dashing at the Mexicans, put
them to ignominious flight.

GLASGOW HOARY WITH AGE.
Scottish Metropolis Was Founded
1900 Years Ago.

We hear a great deal in these
days in praise Of Glasgow as truly
model city and of its manipulating
in the interest of the citizens OF
nearly every public franchise. That
is all true, and Glasgow highly mer
its all praise bestowed upon it. At
present, however, we would briefly
remind our readers of Glasgow in
the olden time, hundreds of years
before it obtained its present state
of perfection, and of which we now
rarely hear word.
1t is about 1900 years since Glas-
gov was founded by Kentigern or
St. Mungo, but the city did not
amount to much until after the act
of union between Scotland and Eng
land, about 200 years ago. 1t was
that act which enabled the mer-
chant adventures Of Glasgow to
send out their ships to Virginia and
Maryland for cargoes of tobacco
leaf Thus tobacco manufacture
was the first important foreign
trade and home industry established
by Glasgow enterprise.
Very soon the city became the
center of the tobacco traffic. For a
long time thereafter the tobacco
lords" Of Glasgow in their scarlet
robes and on their own privileged
beat were almost as strongly marked
figures in history as were the mer-
chants of Venice. When the Ameri-
can colonies revolted and the Unit
ed States republic was established
Glasgow lost it's fourishing tobacco
trade, but some of the tobacco
lords who held heavy stocks, made
enormous fortunes by the rise in
prices. These fortunes formed the
foundation of larger enterprises
elsewhere and the begetting of the
numerous merchant princes that
soon characterized Glasgow.
When driven from Virginia the
adventures established trade with
the West Indies, where sugar sue
ceeded tobacco as staple of trade.
Then came cotton and next coal,
which was soon followed by iron.
Meantime there had been a continu-
Gus development of trade with In
dia, with China, with South Amer
lea, with the United States and ulti-
mately with Australia and New
Zealand. Till then the Clyde had
been little better than a stagnant
ditch, but Glasgow by degrees
formed deep, broad, navigable wa
terway, and then came commerce
and shipbuilding.-Scotti
can.

he went off with an accompanying

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

BY local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Custodian Tube.
When this tube ism famed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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 con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh. which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous
surface.
We will give One Fl Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caustd by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
