Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased por-
ton of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional RENE
dies. Deafness is caused by an
intiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube is inflamed you
have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is en-
tlrely closed, deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tu be re-
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Leonard Collar.

"a leopard collar" he said, taking up
dog collar studded with sharp spikes
three inches long. Fitting the collar on
his dog, he resumed: "This piece of
armor-for that is what it is-illus-
trates an oddlty Of the Himalayas-
namely, the Sondness Of the Hima-
layan leopard for dog flesh. In the
Himalayas last year 1 found that all
dogs wore these murderous looking
spiked collars. The explanation was
that the Himalayan leopards conducted
an unceasing dog hunt, and that in at
tacking dog they always fell upon his
neck This collar with its sharp spikes
Is great protection. 1t has saved
many dog from a hungry leopard.
Often in the Himalayas dog comes
tr0ttlng home safe and sound, though
with smears of blood and yellow hairs
upon his collar spikes"

Names md the Inv.

Speaking generally, the law of Eng
land allows a person to assume and
use any name, provided its use is not
calculated to deceive or inflict pecuni-
ary loss. So the court Of appeals laid
down the law in Dockrell against Dou-
gall, and this attitude of the law, the
Law Journal remarks, is chara cteristic
of our British love of liberty. French
law Is much more strict. 1t fOrbids any
citizen to bear any name other than
that which is expressed in the registry
of his birth or to add any surname to
his proper name. German law is the
same, only it goes a little further in
imposing a penalty on any one giving
a false name to an off1cial.-Dundee
Advertiser.

A HOtbed Of Violence.

The island of Sardinia is hotbed of
violence. The "Granary Of Rome re-
sists the softening influences of civili-
zation and remains with many Of the
peculiarities which distinguished it in
the middle Of the last century. I'm the
country" writes traveller of that
time, "thc men are clothed in goatskins,
one before and another behind, with
out breeches, shoes or stockings, and
a woolen or skin cap on the head. The
women have no other habiliments than
long woolen gown and woolen cap.
The peasants always go armed to de-
fend themselves from one another, for
they are all robbers and assassins, so
that travelling in the interior is extreme
ly unsafe without an escort, and it is
even dangerous for ships to send their
people on shore for water unless they
are we'll armed. In short, the Sardes
are the Malays of the Mediterranean"
