source OF IVORY SuppIv,

During a recent visit to the London
docks the queen Of England was in
formed that the stock of ivory then
shown represented, on an average, the
annual slaughter of some 10000
African elephants. This statement has
been contradicted. One importer states
that at least IS per cent of the supply
is dead ivory" mainly obtained from
boarded stores of African chiefs, who
are shrewd enough to put their com.
modities on the market only In drib.
let's. The most interesting part OF
the letter is, however, the statement
that the great bulk of this boarded
ivory is obtained from elephant
cemeteries "-spots met with here and
there in the jungle, where elephants
have resorted for centuries to die.
Much of the ivory that comes to the
market may, therefore, according to
this letter, be several hundred years
old

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

BY local applications as they cannot reacht the
diseased portion ofthe ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition OF the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the inham-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten
arecaused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
lnfiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh THAT can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

When first the gameeof life was played
BY savage man, in forest glade,
Who fought his way 'gainst beasts and
men
Up to the dawn of history-then
Clubs were trumps-
Then came the age when poets sing
OF seed time and of harvesting;
White focks are led by shepherds, now,
And Cincinnatus drives his plow--
When spades are trumps.
Men cross the sea in search of gold
The merchant ships their sails unfold.
And countries new are filled with men
Who madly strive for fortune-then
Are diamonds trumps
When shall we see the day Of peace
Past war, past strife for Colds increase:
When simple life and higher thought
And loving brotherhood have wrought.
That hearts are trumps?

The action Of water as an anaesthetlc
is illustrated in some recent cases
brought to notice by Joseph Clements.
In one case five hemorrhoids were in
jected with distilled water when they
were removed in fifteen minutes with
out pain, and the patient at once re-
turned home. In another case two
fistules were opened and scraped, one
after the injection of water, and the
other without it. The last operation
was exceedingly painful. The action
of the water is declared to be the same
as that of solutions of cocoaine or other
drug-a filling of the interspaces OF the
tissues, thus temporarily suspending
intercellular respiration and paralyzing
the local nerve centres.
