Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications as they can
not reach tie 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 condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
tbs tube is inflamed you have a rumb-
ling 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 re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, whic is noting but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

Il attended meeting in a Congre-

The minister preached an excellent

Blessing to Any Land.
Mr.. Walters was asked whether or
not he considered it probable that
the Welsh evangelist may come to
the United States, to which he re-
piled:
"The people of Wales seem to regard
this revival as being like a revival
from above, and no man can tell to
what countries it may extend. It is
rapidly spreading over the entire prov
ince of Wales. It may in time come
to this country. Whether or not the
AnglO-Saxon temperament is as liza
BILE to come under that influence as
that of the Welsh people has been
proven to be, I can not say. But
do not see why, if the estimate of the
Welsh clergy is correct, the Lords
work in Wales can not be done equal
~ as we'll in America. am far from
being a religious sensationalist, but
in my estimation the type of revival
that has been carried forward in
Wales during the last winter and
spring would be great blessing to
any country. Mr.. Roberts is very
young man, has excellent health, and
no one can foretell where he may
go to perform his work before he dies.
1t may be probable that he will visit
this country, but no one knows that
to be his intention. Personally, he
is very non-committal regarding his
plans for the future"
Mr.. Walters said last night that
while in Wales he made a careful
study of the work of Mr.. Roberts,
and compiled great number of notes
on the religious awakening there,
from which he expects to deliver a
series of addresses in this city in the
near future.

VERY CURIOUS ENGLISH WAGERs
How Sir John Lade Won a Bet-Oth-
er AMUSING Incidents.

In the year 1887 farmer laid a
wager that he would eat two dozen
penny mutton pies and drink a gal
Ion of ale in half an hour, a feat
which he easily performed we'll with
in the specified limit, says the Queen.
In about half an hour afterward he
devoured a three penny loaf and a
big pound of cheese and then attack
ed a leg of pork.
A few years later, when the prince
regent was enlivening Brighton with
his vagaries, the notorious Sir John
Lade made his celebrated wager that
he would carry Lord Cholmondeley
on his back twice around the Steine.
AS Sir John was short and his oppo-
nent tall, much curiosity was aroused,
and many spectators, including la
dies, came out to see, but were all
baked of the spectacle by the knight
declining to bear the nobleman except
in the minimum of clothing, declar-
ing that there was nothing in the
conditions calling upon him to cary
extra weight.
OF quite another kind was the wag-
ering by gentleman that he would
stand all day upon London bridge with
trayful of new soverelgns, but I'M
able to sell them at penny apiece,
and, like Sir John Lade, he won the
wager.
Fancy dress balls are still favor
lite amusement with people, and many
quaint and curious designs are to be
seen at such assemblies, but here
again there is nothing new, for, to
quote but one instance, in 1906, cur
ious wager was laid between two gen.
tlemen as to who should assume the
most singular character. The winner
paraded with his coat and waistcoat
decorated with bank notes of different
values, row of five guinea notes and
a netted purse of gold adorned his
hat, while on his hat appeared piece
of paper with the words John Bull. -
The loser would certainly appear to
have been more original still, for he
appeared dressed like woman on one
side, one-half of his face being paint.
ed and the other half blackened to
resemble that of a negro. On one
leg he wore a six stocking and a
slipper and on the other half pair
Of linen breaches, boot and spur
while he was also adorned with half
a long tailed linen coat.

for which they get no redress with

land on earth where this iniquity has
a remedy. A citizen of New Zealand,
a country whose advanced methods
are being watched with interest by
enlightene governments, who may be
arrested for crime against the state,
and on trial found innocent, has his
case taken up by a court of equity,
the defendants earning power is con-
sidered and he is reimbursed for the
time lost as well as the outlay he may
have been subjected to in defending
himself. Is there not an opportunity
