Deafness Cannot bs 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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out aud this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
OF ten are caused by Catarrl, which
is nothing but an inilamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.

cENTENARIAN is TEACHER
Manuel Garcia at Age of One Hun
bred Is Still Enlightening
Britishers in Music,

Manuel Garcia, one of the most re-
markable men in the world, has re-
Gently sat for his portrait to John S.
Sargent. Garcia is Spanish singer
who visited the United States in 1925
with an opera company, and sang in
various parts of the country. The IA
nous singer. Madame Malibran, was
his sister. He returned to Europe and
taught Jenny Lind in Paris, and for
the past SO years or Whereabouts has
been a music teacher in London. He
was 100 years old on March II and is
still teaching. He was professor of
music in the British Royal Academy of
Music until he was 80, when he retired
to receive pupils privately. 1t is be-
lieved that the portrait which Sargent
has painted is the only one of CEN
tenarian in existence. and Garcia him
self is probably the only person who
ever taught singing in his hundredth
year.

With Suspicion.

Why Some People Look Upon Them
With Suspicion.
a tr:lveier says that Christians in Mo-
rocco look with suspicion OIL the
shrines of Mohammedan saints in that
country. lie tells the following story:
Once upon a time n boy was travelling
through the country, and as night came
on lie found himself near white
washed tomb. Knocking ut the door Of
the shrine, he asked for meal and n
bed. When the next day dawned lie
was about to continue his journey, but
the keeper of the shrine bcsought him
to remain i'll order to help him keep
the shrine and collect the offerings of
the faithful. The youth said that he
must first consult his parents, and the
elder man babe him take his ass and
seek advice Of his parents and return.
The boy took the ass and rode away,
but he had not accomplished half the
journey before the ass fell sick and
died. Then the boy knew not what to
do nor where to turn. But when he
had considered the circumstances Of
his case brilliant idea flashed into his
mind.
Having dug a pit and east the ass
therein, he piled great stones over It,
Whitening them with lime, and set n
white flag above, saying to all who
passed by, This is the tomb Of st. So
and-so.' Then worshipcrs came from
every side, aims We're poured in and
offerings showered upon him. The
keeper Of the former shrine lost his
customers and came to visit the new
saint. He when the crowd had gone
approached the young shrine keeper.
ask thee by AlIh,' said the old man,
who is this saint Of thine and what
manner Of thing is buried here%
~ will not deceive thee, but will tell
thee the truth returned the youth.
My saint who is buried here ia none
other than thy beast, even the carcass
OF thine own ass. And now, pray, who
Is thy saint and who In truth is buried
In the shrine thou keepest?' 4 will not
deceive thee, but will tell thee the
TRUTH replied the old man. My saint
Is the father of thy saint"

Kitchens In the Tronicx.

The kitchens of tropical countries,
such as are to be found in our Spanish
American lands, are like cells from the
thickness Of the stone walls-often two
or three feet deep-and the projecting
omnlpresent veranda, which gives a
grateful shade and which looks out on
court. The cell resemblance is en-
HANGED by the iron bars ut the windows
and the heavy double doors. which look
as if they could resist Il siege The
walls are whltewashed. and the floors
are Of tiles. The dining room is often
separated from this room by Il long
staircase. Outside the kitchen In the
court will stand table and closets to
supplement the scant furniture of the
small, hot apartment with a furnace

HUMMlNo BIRD FANS YOUNG
Teathered Mother Keeps Up Culver
ing Motion to Protect Wee Crea-
lures from Heat.

William Lowell Finley, the new nat
uralist-photographer, writes as follows
In the Country Calendar:
THE way humming bird mother
would alight on her nest was marvel to
me. She always stopped on the dead
twig of maple before dropping to her
home. saw her do it several times.
She came at nest like a meteoric
streak. held my breath lest the whole
thing be splintered to atoms for she
hit the little cup without the slightest
pause that could see. But, when she
alighted. 1t put to shame the touch of
floating thistle-down.
When the nestlings were very young,
the mother never left them alone long
at time. If the day was warm, If the
sun shone on the nest, the mother hoy
cred over with wings and tail spread
wide. When it was hottest, have seen
the mother sit forward on the nest edge
spread her tail till she showed the white
tips of her feathers, and keep up a
constant quivering, tanning motion
with her wings and tail to give protec-
ton to the frail midgets in the nest"

Thrice-a-week New York World.

The Thrice-a-week World has
made special arrangements for the
year 1905. Its already great news
service has been extended and, as
heretofore, it will report all impor-
tant events promptly, accurately and
impartially.
An original and striking feature
Of the Thrice-a.Week World in 1905
will be its serial publication of the
strongest and best fiction that has
ever appeared in the columns of any
newspaper. The novels already ar
ranged for, and which are by writer's
known throughout the world are:
Cardigan" by Robert W. Cham
bers; Before The Dawn" by JOS
eph A. Altsheler. "rhe Reds of
the Midi" by Felix Gras. "The
Cardinals Rose" by Van Tassel
Sutphen. "The Blazed Trail" by
Stewart Edward White.
The Thrice-a Week Worlds regu-
lar subscription price is only $l.0O
per year, and this pays for 1876
papers. We offer this unequaled
newspaper and the Democrat to-
gether one year for $2.l5. The
regular subscription price of the
wo papers is $3.50. If

HE WANTED A LARGE WORD
Man Prayed at Revival That the
King Be Annihilated-Real-
ICES Mistake.

Many years ago, in the tens or TWEEN
ties of the last century. there was a
revival at the Congregational chapel
in Penzance, Cornwall. The pastor.
John Foxell. was famous minister in
his day. On the occasion referred to u
revival had been going on for some time.
Various converts were allowed to have
their say
One Sunday the usual sermon gave
way to short prayers and singing. One
convert, well-meaning. but not too we'll
educated man, burst forth in prayer and,
among other remarks, he appealed to the
Lord to "annihilate" the king.
This caused no little surprise to the
loyal section Of the somewhat classy"
congregation. Some were uneasy, and
the pastor, at the conclusion Of the sery-
ice, quietly called the speaker aside and
asked him why he was so reckless as to
use such republican language on such
serious occasion. The poor fellow
seemed puzzled and dazed; he did not
know that he had said anything out of
the way.
What on earth did you want to ami
hilate the king for?" asked the pas
tor.
We'll, why not, If it were for his
good?" replied the man.
Perhaps you do not know the ex-
act meaning of the word, "annihilate,'
retorted Mr.. Foxell. kindly.
Il admit do not" remarked the con-
vert, but happened to come across
the word a few days ago, and it looked
to me a good and important word, and
| thought the best words should al
ways be reserved for the king and when
l was praying and put in word for his
safety thought it good, grand and
swinging word to use in his behalf; but
l did not want to get rid of his majesty"

In California there grows a plant
called the rattlensnake weed. 1t gets
Its name from the story that when rat
tlesnakes fight and bite each other, this
weed, If eaten by them, will prevent
death. The plant grows about six
inches tall, and has red stalk and
slender leaves. On the top of the stalk
there is head Of flowers, and the
seeds Of these flowers are furnished
with sharp barbs, called stickers. The
early settlers always made their herds
men carry bottle Of strong tea made
Of rattlesnake weed, and when one of
the sheep was bitten it was drenchsd
with this fluid. The treatment was
said to be effective.

Some interesting items may at times
be unearthed from the consular reports.
For example, there is description of
a soapy lake in the annual statement
of the trade and commerce Of Nicara-
qua. This sheet of water, the Lake of
Nejapa, contains strong solution of
bicarbonate of potash, bicarbonate of
soda and sulphate of magnesia. This
water, when rubbed on any greasy OBJ
ject, at once forms lather." The re-
port says 1t is used as hair wash, and
enjoys local reputation as cure for
external and internal complaints. The
Nicaraguans are not conspicuous for
commercial enterprise, but during the
year they managed to export -four
demijohns" of this wonderful water to
the neighboring Guatemala.

WANTS MORE WATER.

New York is studying how to increase
its stock of drinking water which be-
comes inadequate almost as rapidly as
the system which provides it is ex-
tended. The latest plan under consider
alton is the stupendous task of tapping
Lake Erie, three hundred miles away,
and bringing water down to Manhattan
in a pipe or conduit capable of providing
a billion gallons of water every twenty
four hours. The cost is setimated at
one hundred and fifty million dollars,
and New York thinks it possible some
Of the cities on the way may be willing
to share the expense in this gigantic
undertaking by being allowed the priv
ilege of tapping the pipe for their own
purposes.
