An Atlantic Tidal Wave,

The American line steamship Phila-
delphia, which arrived in New York
March 18th. from Southampton, re-
ported having been struck by huge
way on Friday evening previous. Up
to that time the weather had been
good and a concert was Just being be-
gun, when, without the slightest warn
ing, huge wave struck the boat. In
an instant all was uproar. Those at.
tending the concert rushed pell nell in
all directions. Men and women
dropped on their knees and prayed.
while others ran on deck. The vessel
reeled and quivered under the shock
and for five minutes panic reigned on
board. Part OF the ships bowsprit
was carried away. the iron railing was
twisted and many windows were
broken, through which poured hun
dreds of gallons of water.
Captain Mills said that In all his eX-
perience he never encountered a wave
OF such height.

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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have a rumbling sound or i1nper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the resnlt and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inla1ned condi-
ton 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

LABELS FOR ENGAGED GIRLS.
A Suggestion Worthy Of Consideration
and Perhaps Adoption.

"A lady writing in London Truth
says that a girl who is engaged
ought to be marked in some way
so that everybody may be made
aware of her happy condition.
There are some strong reasons to
be advanced in support of this
theory. After a girl has promised
to be the wife of man she has no
right to go around causing other
men to fall in love with her and
exhibit their affection by providing
her with theater tickets, expensive
dinners, fragrant punches of roses
and fve-pound boxes of candy. 1t
may be argued that a ring worn
on the third finger of her left hand
indicates that a girl is engaged,
but in these days of general pros
perity girls frequently have so
many rings that they are compelled
to use their engagement fingers for
storage purposes even when no
engagements exist. The engage
ment ring has, therefore, ceased
to have any significance. Even if
it were still used as it was in
former times, it is easy for a girl
to slip off a ring when she goes
away from home. Thus man has,
in the existing circumstances, no
protection. Why not have some
such system as has been adopted
by the real estate agents? When
new apartment or Office buildings
are erected one may see in certain
window signs that read To Let,
while in other windows are cards
bearing the word Taken" or
Rented" 1t would simplify mat
tiers if each engaged girl were COM
PEELED to wear upon her glad
bosom a broad ribbon containing
the word-it could be printed in
gold, perpaps Engaged" or
Promised, or Caught" If,
thus labeled, she found it possible
to induce young men to spend |
their hard earned money for her
amusement, they could never after
ward point accusing fingers at her
and say that she had wronged
them. She would be justly en-
titled to receive all the attentions
that were offered by men who |
liked her looks. She could attack
her SQUAD with a clear conscience
and devour her sweets without
feeling that she had no right to
them. Neither Emperor William,
President Roosevelt nor Mark
Twain has as yet taken up this
matter for serious consideration,
but we have no doubt that it will
in due time reach them and be
properly disposed of. Engaged
girls have no right to go around
getting the good things at should
be for the girls who are not en-
gagged and perhaps never will be. |

Bird Trials and Executions.

Curious case of trial by a jury
among birds was recently reported
from India. A great number of
scarlet hamingoes were observed in
a marsby field near the Ganges
River. They were standing in a
regular circle and screeching
violently. In the middle of the
circle stood one solitary bird, and
it seemed it was against this in
dividual that all the wrath of the
rest was directed. For some min
utes the palaver went on, and then
with one accord all the circle pitch
ed upon the unfortunate in the
center and pecked him to death.
More than one similar case has
been seen elsewhere, particularly
among rocks and starlings. Near
Norwich some years ago a doctor
driving along quiet country road
had his attention attracted by a
cawing from an open grass field
nearby. Many hundreds of rocks
were settled in two rings, the inner
consisting of about so, seemingly
the veterans of the flock. As be-
fore, in the center of all was the
criminal, looking quite perky and
pleased with himself. The dellbe-
rations went on for sometime, and
the spectator noticed the maner of
the accused gradually changing,
his head bowed and his wings
dropped and he cawe1 family, as
if irnploring mercy. Then there
was silence for a moment, when
suddenly the inner circle closed
and rose a moment later, leaving
only a mangled carcass on the
grass.
A French surgeon at Smyrna.
Syria, wanted some young storks,
but the Turks entertained such a
for these birds that he
could not get any. So he abstract
ed the eggs from a stork's nest on
the top of his house and put them
under hen, replacing them with |
fresh hen eggs. III due time the
young chickens came to light in |
their elevated position. The STIR
prise of the storks may be imagin-
ed. The male stork speedily disap-
peared and was not seen for a |
couple of days. When he return
ed it was with a large number of
storks who formed rude ring on
the surrounding roofs. The poor
female stork was then brought in
to the middle of the circle, and af-
ter lengthy squawking she was
by the whole flock and |
torn in pieces.

The local engagement assures that
the same cast and the original pro-
duction designed for the remarkable
run of the piece at the Liberty theater
will be seen when she comes here.
The story of the new play deals
with the much mooted sex question
and tells the tale of young girl
sacrificed to the lust of her guardian
and who when she begins to realize
her plight determines to live down
the shame he has heaped upon her and
In so doing she meets and falls in love
with good man. He returns the love
she gives and they are to be married
after she has confessed to her shame
and been forgiven by her lover, when
she is brought face to face with the
fact that the man that she loves is
the son of the guardian who betray-
ed her. The play in addition to being
one of the best emotional creations of
the season is supplied with number
OF types that spice it with some ex-
cellent comedy.

Jonas Lie, the famous authors who
has recently returned to his native
land of Norway after spending the
greater part of his life in Paris, was
born Nov. 6. 1888. He spent his child
hood in the city of Tromsoe, where his
father was an officer. In 1851 he re-
ceived the degree of A. B. at the uni
versity, and began the study of juris-
prudence. In 1860 he settled as a law
yer in the city of Kongsvinger. Here
he made great deal of money in the
lumber industry and also through the
practice of his profession of law. In
a great financial panic that followed
a few years later Herr Lie lost his en-
tire fortune and found himself in debt
to the extent of 100000 kroner. After
the crash he went to Christiania to
make his living with his pen. For a
number of years thereafter he toured
Europe, with occasional intervals of
residence in Norway. writing for peri
odicals and gradually making a name
for himself. In 1881 he settled in
Paris, where his home for twenty-five
years has been the rendezvous for
Norwegian literateurs and artists Wis
iting in the French capital. He has
written many successful novels and
several plays. He is regarded as the
most popular and most widely read of
all the Norwegian authors, not only in
Norway, but also in Denmark and
Sweden.
