persuade him to appeal for a coinmu-
tation of his death sentence for lnu"-
der. He has resisted the persuasions
persistently for three weeks and clam
ors to have his head chopped off, yet
the authorities do not comply with his
wish.
The position is a curious one. AS the
law stands 1t prescrihes that executions
shall be public. but since the guillotlne
was moved some years ago from the
notorious Place de La Roquette the To-
cal officials everywhere have success
fully resisted the attempts to secure a
new site and the guillotine has lam
idle in shed. the officers of justice
not venturing to offend any part oil the
city by insisting upon its erection.
All Sentences Committed.
They have consequently persuaded
every person condemned to death to
appeal for 81 Communication, which has
been granted forthwith.
A public execution invariably leads
to disgusting carouse and misbe-
havior by the scum Of the city and the
establishment OF the guillotine any
where without the assent of the au-
thorities representing the respectable
citizens would inevitably arouse anger.
Hence the reluctance to carry out
death sentences.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ress, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
re suit, 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
ter are caused by catarrh. which is
nothing but an .fnflamed condition of
the mucuous surfaces.
