DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only n way to cure deafness,
sud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
ditlon of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
lnfamed you have a 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 Oatarrh, which is
nothing but an inaamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

With wet lead pencil point draw on a
piece of thick paper a triangle-wheth.
er the sides are equal or not males nc
difference. Lay it on the surface of
basin of water with the drawing I'D. and
very carefully fill the space inside the
dampened lines with water, so that there
will be a triangular basin of water on
the swimming sheet of paper. (The
water will not extend beyond the wet
lines of the drawing.) Now, taking a
pin or a needle, or any thin, smooth,
sharp-pointed instrument, dip it's point
Into this triangular basin, anywhere but
1T its center Of area-say, very nearly
at one OF the angles. Be careful not to
touch the paper and so prevent its free
motion in any direction, and you will
ind that no matter where the point is
placed, the paper will move on the water
until the center of area comes under the
point. This center of area may be indi-
Gated before placing the paper on the
water by drawing lines from any two
angles to the centers of the opposite
sides; where the two lines cross will be
the desired place.
If square be drawn instead of tri-
angle, and similarly treated, It will
move until the intersection Of its dag
onals comes under the pin point; and no
matter what figure be drawn, it will
move along the water so as to bring it's
center Of area directly under the point

one had an inspiration. She glggled a
minute and then said: Say, my husband
asked me the. other day what your first

tell him. What is it?"
Then it was the other womans turn to
