A Famous Newspaper Man.

William E. Curtis, the famous cores
pendent of The Chicago Record Herald.
writes a two column letter for his paper
every day IN the year without intermis-
sion. His powers Of sustained work are
as great marvel as his faculty of ALWAYS
making his matter interesting.
Probably no other newspaper cores
pondens in the country is read so regu-
arly and eagerly by so many thousands
of men and women as Mr.. Curtis. Mr..
Curtis has Travelled several times around
the world, visiting every country under
the sun, and writing larger number of
brilliant and interesting letters of travel
than were ever before produced by a
single hand Many of these have later
been reprinted in book form. One of his
latest expeditions for The Record Her
aid was through Mexico, resulting 10
series of letters as entertaining as those
he wrote a few years ago from India,
Turkey and the Holy Land. His forth
coming letters from Ireland, Russia and
Germany will rival in importance and
interest any of his previous contribu-
tons.
Beginning his career in Chicago as a
reporter in 1872, Mr.. Curtis rapidly rose
to be managing editor. He resigned that
position to accept government appoint
ment as secretary of the South Ameri-
can commission. So brilliantly did he
perform the duties of this Office that
James G. Blaine, Secretary of State,
placed him at the head of the Bureau of
American Republics. At the worlds
sair in Chicago he distinguished himself
as the executive head of the Latin Amer
lean department. He is member of al
most every learned society in Washing
ton and many in Europe. It is not
strange that The Record Herald prints
Mr.. Curtis letter every day in the first
column of the front page, and that
nothing but California earthquake can
displace it from that station of honor.

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 lnfiamed con-
d;tion of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

The VIII to Die.

Two or three years ago, in Lanca- shire town, while fair was In prog ress, to the proprietor of steam roundabout there came q shopkeeper whose wife was lying supposedly at the point of death. ''Thou nun stop thy organ," he said. "Why?' asked the other. ''Thou nun stop it, tell tha'. My missus cown't dee,' was the reply, a dialogue for which the writer can vouch.
 A clergyman had placed on record Il similar instance. Visiting sick pa rfshioner, he was told by the doctor tilat the sickroom was full of mourners, as s,ning the woman that she was apout to die. And the woman was dying from suggestion, though organlcall' there was not the least reason why sle should. The clergyman entered the room and cleared out the dolefui ones "You're not going to die.' ne salo' "What! Am not dying, parson! 1heh thank God, I won't" That woman Was well in next to no time and round at the vicarage thanking it's master TOT having saved her life.-St. James, Ga- zette.

Peaaants, Sunerstitiona.

Now and then. not often ghostly ap pearances or sounds are explained to the peasants satisfaction. Thus in the county of Durham "Gabriels hounds were for iong. long years believed to shriek and howl through the air on dark nights and to forebode death to him who heard and saw them. But proSaic modern research proved them to be nothing but tlocks of wild geese migrating southwaru on the approach of winter and choosing dark nights for their Journeys. Similarly the ghost of Irbydale, in the Lincolnshire wolds, goblin who terrified travellers at night with its heartrending cries and who was said to be witch who had been worried to death by dogs ill long past age, has been shown to be nothing but an owl. On the other hand. no true Cornishman will ever be induced to re- linquish the belief that the spirit Of King Arthur still haunts the ruins Of Tintagel in the shape of white clough. and assuredly the many English fam flies who possess a white bird of omen, such as that which John OXenham saw in "Westward Ho,' cling firmly to the tradition if not to the belief in it, London Graphic.
