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 inhamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and
when il is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the in
flammation 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 nothc
ing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

False Dawn.

There is one hour OF the night be-
tween midnight and morning-twO
o'clock, to be accurate-when all ma
ture Is astir. The cowboys and the
shepherds and the old country folk
tell us about it. This hour is heralded
by the rooster growing, not this time
TO announce the hour of dawn, but az
though he were a watchman speeding
the course of night. Cowboys assert
that the entire herd of cattle wake up
and walk about and lie down and rest
in a new lair. The sheep rouse them
selves and crop the grass, the birds
stir in their nests, the cowboys horses
and the shepherds dogs open their
eyes, too, to look for a moment at tho
stars and become for the time being
mere animals in natures flock; yet
there Is no accounting for the maud
ible summons, the gentle touch of
nature that recalls all the sleepers to
life at precisely the same hour. Even
to those deepest read in these arcana
this rythmical nightly resurrection re.
mains a mystery.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1905-12-07

Year by year records are published
of the destruction of human and cattle
life by the wild beasts and snakes of
British India. Last year 24,576 human
beings and 1926 cattle were killed,
and of the people, 21,S27 deaths were
attributed to snakes, while to the cat
tie, $4,000 were killed by wild beasts,
panthers being charged with 10000
and tigers with 10000 of this total !;
snakes accounted for 10000.
And this is but trifling percentage
of the actual annual mortality, as it
excludes the feudatory states with
their 100000 square miles and 6Q0O,-
900 inhabitants, where no records are
obtainable. Nor do the fatalities grow
materially less, Notwithstanding the ef-
forts of sportsmen and rewards by
government, because the development
of railways and roads, as the jungle
Is reclaimed for agriculture, means con-
tinuous invasion of the snake and tiger
infested rritory.-Outing.

"There are thousands of persons
suffering from the auto-sugges or
as it is comonly known, selt-hypGO-
tism,' said DR.. Quackenbos to New
York Mail reporter 'Ad writer's and
window dressers are responsible in
measure for the prevalency of the dis
ease. A case of self-hypnotsm is cur
able, says Dr. Quackenbos, If not
chronic, and the only way to treat it is
by putting the patient to sleep and
talking to the soul.
"I have treated hundreds of cases of
auto-suggestion, and nearly every in
stance nave secured permanent cure.
You see some persons get into their
heads that they have been injured in a
railroad accident and will go into court
and unintentionally perjure themselves.
/ Having faith and confidence in a
person one can be made to do almost
anything, the limitations of possibility
being unknown. A person can uncon-
sciously fake the symptoms of any dis
ease. Now take, for instance, the
Christian Scientist His patients be-
lieve in him and that they are going to
be cured, and they are. Then there is
the quack doctor who tells you through
the advertising columns that for So he
will effect a permanent cure for you.
All you have TO do is to go in certain
room in your home at a certain hour
and he cures you by long distance.
The 'ad' writer puts things before
the public in such a way that persons
who are susceptible to auto-suggestion
read the advertisement. believe them
selves to be afflicted with disease. and
they send for the medicine which the
shrewd 'ad' writer tells about. After
they have used a number of bottles of
the remedy they believe themselves
cured.

the earth will be regulated by auto-sug-

A Tjnker's Damn

What is the origin of the phrase. "A
tinkers damn" and whence did it de.
rive its present significance? Mr..
James Macarthur throws some light
on the matter. The common applica.
ton of the term, he says, is a misuse
of it, The phrase had homely origin.
A tinker's dam is not an epithet, but
wad of dough or soft clay raised
around spot which plumber, in re-
pairing, desires to flood with solder;
as the material of this dam can be
used only once it is thrown away as
useless-hence the proverb.-Harper's
Weekly.

According to fhe prophecy of
George Hartman, Reading prog
nosticator of the weather, there will
be no snowfall this winter heavier
than one inch. In an interview he
said: 1t is seldom that in lthis eli
mate we have a summer which pro-
duces two crops of vegetables This
season we had. Whenever this
occurs a mild winter follows. Old
residents will remember the year
1877, when that summer produced
two crops of vegetables. and there
was very little snow. The weather
this winter will be similar to that of

GEN hRAL NEWS

Right Rev. Bishop Richard
Scannell, of the Nebraska diocese
of the Catholic church has de-
clared accommodated "ipso
facto" all members of the Catholic
church who participated in the
wedding of Congressman Kennedy
and Miss Pritchatt. There were a
number Of prominent Catholics
present, including Mrs. Edward
Cudahy, wife OF the packing house
magnate. Miss Mae Hamilton,
whose individual fortune is rated at
over a million, was one of the
bridesmaids.
Congressman Kennedy has a
divorced wife living and for that
reason the Bishop issued pastoral
forbidding all Catholics to partici-
pate in the ceremony. The Bishop
declared eXcommunicated all men,
bers of his church who attended the
wedding. The wedding took place

Richard A. McCurdy, has resign
ed as President of the Mutual Life
Insurance company. His resigna,
ton was accepted by the Board OF
Trustees and Frederick Cromwell,
Treasurer of the Mutual, was nam
ed as his temporary successor.
While no definite announcement
was made regarding the selection
of permanent successor for Mr..
McCurdy, it was persistently re-
ported that the presidency of the
company had been offered to James
H. Eckels, who was Comptroller of
the Currency during the admins
tration of President Cleveland. Mr..
Eckels is now President of the
Commercial National Bank, Of
Chicago.
The wreck of a freight train on
the Valley road near Falls station
on November sd has caused consid-
cradle commotion in that vicinity.
1t is said that nearly $4,000 worth
of goods consisting of clothing,
dry goods, groceries, ETC., were tax
ell by some of the people in that
section from the wreckage strewn
along the tracks, The goods were
missed by the company and officers
were set to work to look them up.
A good deal of the plumber has been
recovered, but in order to do so
dozen or more arrests had to be
made. Some OF the goods were
found many miles from the scene
of the wreck.

The talk of the new rate bill is
assuming an assured tone as though
there had been no doubt all along
in the mind of anyone that there
would be rate bill of some sort.
The President has not declared
himself as yet, but those who as
sumo to speak for him, say that it
is to be largely an extension OF the
powers that were supposed to be
vested in the Interstate Commerce
Commission for the first year or
two of its existence. There is to
be a. penalty clause providing fine
of $4,000 a day failure to accept a
rate named by the commission
within the stationary limit of 80
days. The sort of books 10 be kept
for the enlightenment of the Com
mission are also specified. But the
chief thing is the penalty clause to
enable the commission to enforce
its decisions. This is the thing the
commission has been clamoring for
ever since it found out from a de-
cision of the courts that the penalty
clause which everyone thought was
in the original bill had been inten-
tionally or accidentally omitted.
XXX
For those interested in statistics
of education, it will be interesting
to learn from census bulletin just
issued, that we are only 10 per cent
illiterate in this country. Of the
native born whites, only As out of
every thousand are unable to read
and write. Of the foreign-born,
there are 1913 in the thousand who
are illiterate, and of the negroes,
445 per thousand or nearly so per
cent. This ought to make instruc'
tive reading for the people who
think the individual states have no
business to define their own suffrage
requirements. 1t is cheering to
learn that the general illiteracy of
the country is decreasing AT the
last census there were 1873 people
per 900 in the total population
who could not read while now the
total average has dropped to ro6
per 900. 1t is rather curious
fact that females are more illite-ate
than males though the disparity IS
less marked than it was in the last
census.
