Gambling at Sea.
From London Truth.

~ASkAA 49, ''NNE
A friend of mine recently returned
from a trip to the United States very
full Of the mischief done by profess
sional gamblers and card s%harpers on
the Atlantic liners, and strongly Of the
opinion that the shipping companies
are responsible for the existence of this
evil.
1t Is pretty certain, I believe, that the
blackleg business is organized like any
other industry, and that the gangs who
frequent the Atlantic liners are regular
employees of an individual or firm. 1t
is at any rate certain that the men,
bers of the gangs are known to the
ships officers, and my friend tells me
that the names of eve of them We're
list Of the White Star liner on which he
returned n the individuals identified
as they sat at table. 1t is interesting
to note thai among them was a woman
and a youth Of innocent appearance.
1t is one of the worst features of tho
evil that many Of them are youngsters
going out to America or Canada, with
most of their worldly wealth in then
pockets. My friend learned that the
gang on his ship got G16O from GER
tain passengers at one sitting, anG
hat on q recent voyage of the same
ship they had 1eeced a young paSsen-
ger to the tune of 5000. He therefore
urges that as the companies know the
individuals they should absolutely re-
fuse to carry them, and stand Tho

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 in1amed condition Of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbllng
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 restored to its normal condl-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh. which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dillon of the mucous surfaces.
