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
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed 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 catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous services.

John Driver paled suddenly. my
God, motherp' he said, bill and I set
a spring gun trap there last night for
a bear. l meant to have told every
body about it, but forgot"
Caleb Frye shot out over the prairie.
The ranchman and Deane followed,
but strive as they could they could not
keep pace with the long-limbed stu
dent, who ran not as a man runs, but
as a deer that is bounded.
Caleb Frye rounded the timber.
Across the open he saw the girl walk
ing toward the spring. He shouted
gaspingly and ran on. The girl heard
and turned. She saw him coming and
waved Il hand encouragingly, thinking
he was trying simply to overtake her
to walk by her side. She stopped to
pick a flower, and the student gained
some ground. Then he shouted, stop,
stop, the gum but the wind bore his
words away, and the girl did not I'M
derstand.
He could call no more. His voice
was spent with running, but his limbs
carried him on. The girl had entered
the bushes near the spring. The man
tried once more to call. The voice was
whisper, but on he ran, and in an
other moment had burst into the copse.
He saw the glistening of the wire of
the trap. The girl was within q foot
of it, His voice came back. stop"
Startled, she stumbled forward. Frye
sprang toward her, and in a flash was
in front of her. His foot caught, he
swayed, and then there came a deafen-
ing report. The girl fell backward,
fainting. The mans hands were
thrown into the air, and then he lay
PROSTATE on the ground.
John Driver and Howard Deane
raised him tenderly and carried him
into the open, placing him gently on
the dry grass of the prairie. There
was a gaping wound in his side. At
that instant the voice of a bird came
from the thicket. Caleb Frye opened
his eyes. ITS summer" he murmured.
Il am going up the mountain path;
the hermit thrushes are singing"
In a moment his spirit was beyond
the mountain top, and to him had come
eternal summer and eternal song

Mr.. Driver does call them weeds. Tell
me where they grow, that 1 may get
some in a day or two"
"They are growing by the spring
just beyond that bit of swamp where
the big tree was blown down in the
last storm"
Il never knew so much of nature.
Mr. Frye" said Howard Deane. but
from the enjoyment that you seem to
get out of it l believe it must be worth
cultivating. Some day 1 wish you'd
teach me how to get into the good
graces of the Mother"
That night Caleb Frye went to his
room early. He studied for while
and then became restless He wan
dered out on to the porch and turned
the corner of the building. He heard
voices and listened involuntarily. The
voices were those of Howard Deane
and Frances barrow. He did not mean
to listen, but what he heard made him
know that what had been in his heart
must die.
Caleb Frye went to his room and
threw himself on his bed. The win
dow was open. Downward through
the night came the voices of migrat-
ing birds. He heard the calling of
plover and the "chink" of the black
bird. "The birds are flying from the
coming winter" he thought to himself.
'but for me the winter has ALREADY
come"
The next morning the ranchman and
his two men guests stood on the porch.
Mother Driver came out. where's
Frances, Mother?' asked the ranch
man.

early because she wanted to get some

IN THE SHADOW
OF THE HILLS.

Caleb Frye held up a bunch of white
flowers. Il found something rare"
he said.
"Them's weeds" said the ranchman.
Caleb Frye laughed. They're weeds
that Pm mighty glad to get" he said.
This is the Aster linariifolius, and 1
never before have been able to find
any that were white. Most of them
are violet in color, and the white ones
are as rare as albino blackbirds."
you're a great one for flowers, birds
and the like, Mr.. Frye" said the ranch
man, "but 1 never could see anything
in 'em, excepting one chokes the wheat
and the other steals the fruit"
'Well, 1 found something rarer than
the aster to-day" answered the stu
dent. II found a hermit thrush that

THE HOUSE WHERE | WAS BORN.

Round the little old deserted house the
noisome weeds are growing,
And the wind unhindered wanders
through the broken eastern door;
Every rafter, beam and sash and finger
marks of Time is showing,
And Decay is running riot Ger the rub
bish-covered floor.
aged beam is falling;
Over yonder says the mantelpiece, de-
jected and forlorn:
There is helplessness pathetic and the
voice of Old Age calling
From each crumbling bit of mortar in
the house where l was born.
Here before the ancient fireplace, where
the dust of years is lying,
1 first saw the future pictured as 1
watched the embers glow;
Here l lay in boyish dreaming, while
the shadows fitting, flying,
We're a hundred ghosts of fancy as
they wandered to and fro;
Little knew l of the universe which
spread itself around me
In a canopy of azure and a sea of
waving corn;
All my world was on the hearthstone
where my childhood dreaming
found me;
l was king-and my dominion was the
house where l was born.

vice. Finally one Of the employees
whose transfer had been ordered called
upon the Secretary. He said:
Mr.. Shaw, l am afraid that If you
dispense with any more of our men 1t
will impair the efficiency Of this de-
partment. l considered it my duty to
say this to you and to get your views"
For answer the Secretary looked up
at the ceiling and said:
There was once a farmer in Iowa
who had three fat cats. His barn was
overrun with mice. One day he gave
the three fat cats away and got one
new cat-not so fat. He WAS never
troubled with mice after that"

They were happy days-God rest them
for my feet had ne'er been
straying
Where the soul is bruised and broken
by the brambles of turmoil;
Meier the long years of anxiety my tenn
pies had been grazing,
Nor, my weary form bowed earthwaro
meath the heavy hand of toll;
Earth was then wonder palace. From
the eastern window gazing
l beheld the new moon hanging like
shining silver horn;
And far down upon the heavens bright
the evening star was blazing;
Both were shining, just to please me,
DER the house where L was born.
1 have passed from it forever. All the
wonder and the glamour
OF the little eastern window from the
world have worn away;
L have seen its disappointment; L have
heard its empty clamor;
And the house | once thought wonder
ful-how pitiful to-day!
But who knows? Perhaps eternity may
bring a realizing
OF the things my fancy painted over
childhood's early morn;
And, mayhap, the gift of prophecy was,
after all, arising
In my heart when l lay dreaming in
the house where l was born.

centuries, dentists, according to
German statistician, will probably be
more to blame than any one else.
He asserts that they use every year
in filling teeth and other work, about
eight hundred kilogrammes of gold,
the value of which is $5O0,0OO, and
that at this rate the graveyards of the
various countries will contain in three
hundred years from now $3.50, 100000
worth of gold.

RACE WITH A MOOSE.
Mr.. Judkins' odd Experience on
Highway in Maine.

Highway in Maine.
Ernest G. Judkins, bOokkeeper for
the Kineo company, had a remarkable
carriage road to Deer Head Farm, two
miles from here, early in the week.
Mr.. Judkins was taking a morning
ride, gallOping along a level stretch,
when the horse came to a sudden stand
still with a jolt and a snort Looking
ahead Mr.. Judkins saw a large bull
moose feeding on the tender sprouts
Of the bushes growing by the roadside,
not sixty yards away. The moose ap-
parently did not see the horse and
rider.
Mr.. Judkins' first impulse was to
ride the moose down, but he thought
better Of this and hooted to attract
the animals attention, and possibly
brighten him from the road so that he
could proceed, but the moose fed calm
ly ON. At the end of a few minutes
the beast moved down the road in
search of more food, and Mr.. Judkins
followed at respectful distance, boot
ing until his throat was hoarse. This
process was repeated over half mile
of road
At the end of that distance the
moose faced about and began feeding
toward the horse and rider, casting an
unconcerned look in their direction
every now and then and Mr.. Judkins
steed did the backstep for a few rods
This was a little too much for the
horseman, and, becoming impatient.
he shouted to attract the attention of
the moose, plunged spurs into his
horse and made for the big animal
With the first leap of the horse the
Indifferent attitude Of the moose chang
ed to one of concern, and. turning
abruptly about, he started down the
road at a clumsy tr t. This gave new
and more interesting phase to the sit
uation, and urging on his horse Mr..
Judkins proceeded TO have his share Of
the sport only hoping that the moose
would keep to the road. The moose
obliged in this particular, and the
horse, being a good one. entered into
the spirit of the race, but try as he
could the distarce b tween him and the
fleeing animal did not lessen material
ly.
Il never saw anything like it." said
Mr.. JrdEins to The New York Sun cor
respondent. "That great, ungainly ami
NAL trotted on ahead as clumsily as a
razorback, and maintained his head
with apparently no effort whatever.
while my horse legged it for all that
was In him. l had heard that moose
had speed, hut when l started after
that bull would have laid ten to one
that L would overhaul him inside of
200 yards; that L could have ridden all
around him."
After a race covering fully half a
mile the moose turned into the forest
and disappeared.

The Earth's Motion.

That the earth's motion has an
appreciate effect upon artillery fire,
detecting the projectile from a
straight course, may be news to
many and as such would probably
seem a novel notion. It has, and
the exact nature and extentof the eff
feet are important points of study
with artillery experts. An English
army expert told of the results of
many interesting experiments along
this line in paper read before the
Royal Artillery institution. Firing
from north to south, there is d.
vergence of projectiles to the left,
due to the earth's rotation, and fir
ing due north the divergence is to
the right. The extent of the "pulP"
varies at different points of the
earth's surface and with projectiles
fired at different speeds and eleva-
tons. In England a detection of
five inches is found to occur with
the projectile of twelve FOUNDER in
a 1000 yard range.
