Polynesia is probably the only place
In the world where the marriage feast
takes place without the presence of the
bridegroom. For some unexplained
reason the young man is "sent into the
bush" when negotiations are opened
with the family Of his bride, and he re-
mains there during the subsequent fes-
tivitles. 1t is only when the guests
have departed and the girl is left alone
with his parents that messengers are
dispatched for him.

HIS CHRISTMAS SERMON.
An Aged Wayfarer Who Taught n
Curatc Contcntment.


An English clergyman declares that
the best Christmas sermon lie ever
heard was preached by a wOman-and
in three words.
In my little parish. under the sweep
of the Sussex downs" he says, Il was
walking swiftly home one night buffet
ed about by the gray clouds of driving
rain that the fierce sou wcSter swept
landward from the sea when poor,
helpless, aged woman asked me for a
trifle for nights lodging.
"Curates are supposed always to be
poor. 1t was Christmas time, and
had just parted with my last siXpence
at a lonely hamlet where work was
scarce. Still | could not leave my
stranger in the street. so | asked her
to come with me TO my lodgings.
"She shambled along through the
mud with her streaming clothes and
clouted boots, and we entered my little
room. My thoughtful landlady had
made my table ready. A plate of hot
toast was standing in the fender; the
kettle sang vociferously, as if impa-
tient to be used; In front of the fire
stood my slippers and an easy chair.
''To my surprise, my poor, worn, hag
gard companion raised her dripping
hands and burst into tears with the
words, oh, what luxury
That was the best Christmas SER
mon ever heard, and the only one I
have never forgotten" Com
panion.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

BY local applications, as they can
not 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
nflamed condition of the mucous lin
ng of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbl-
ing 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 restor-
ed 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 surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's
