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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

of a manager | once knew who had
some dealings with the three graces.
A star was going to act In my friends
theater. against whom he was per-
haps prejudiced. In the play was a
scene in which the three graces were
to appear as a set piece under an
arch. The set piece was too wide
for the arch. and the stage carpenter
went to the manager for advice. The
carpenter told the manager all about
the situation and said that the star
was insistent about the three gracss.
Never mind him." said the msnag-
er. You saw off one of them graces
and set two under the arch. Two
graces is enough for him. anyhow

An Autumn Sunday.

Again the temple door invites
Its summer truants home:
From SEES bisst shores. from sun kissed
heights.
Reluctantly they come.
with them l seek the reyerent place
To holy memories dear.
And bow before the eternal Grace
That calls my spirit near.
j hear the pros cher's measured tones
In sermon or In prayer;
The melancholy organ drones
Through some familiar air:
] whip my mind into the way
The sacred words would bring,
And spur my ~listiess heart to pray.
My iaggard tongue to sing.
But far away my fancy flies
From these confirming walls
To where beneath enticing skies
The gray winged sea gull calls.
] hear St. Mary's clih hung bell
Its ocean song repeat,
And watch across the ripping swell
The churchward sailing fleet.
Fair islets blossom on the scene,
Dear hills in beauty glow,
Tinging with hues OF gray or green
The shining seas below.
''Oh. for the pinions of II dove
The congregation sings;
But speed my thought TO shores ! love
Upon the gray gulls wings!

TYPES OF MACHINE GUNS.
Hotehkiss Uses Larger Ammunition
Than the Calling Device.

''e' t"c Soh''uS SeN'Co
The first machine gun of any note
was the Calling. The original Calling
had ten barrels placed in a circle, With
a breech mechanism so arranged that
by turning a crank these barrels were
Excessively fired, the cartridges be-
Ing placed in a small hopper situated
on the top of the gun.
The Hotchkiss was a similar gun,
having a similar arrangement of bar
rels, but "A totally different form of
mechanism. The Hotchkiss system,
however. was used for u larger typ
of ammunition than the Calling. The
French mitrailleuse had thirty barrels.
They were all loaded at the same time
and all fired simultaneously. The re-
coil was so great that II had to be
mounted in the same manner as u field
piece. on a heavy carriage, requiring
six horses. The apparatus was clum-
sy, ificu to operate and had u com
paratively slow rate OF fire.
h Nordenfeldt gun consists OF a
series of barrels arranged side by side.
like riga pipes. The Nordenfeldt gun
generally has five barrels, and the me-
chanism is worked by a lever, the cart
ridges falling down from II hopper on
the top of the arm into position. where
the mechanism thrusts them into the
barrel. fires them and extracts the
empty case. This gun is OF great sim
plicity. and for Il time went into Ak
tensive use,
