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
condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give 800 for any case Of
deafness Caused by catarrh1 that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Ely's Cream Balm is that it speedily

Clever Marketing.

My experience the past season con-
firms the belief that the way to make
money out of melon growing Is to
build up a reputation for shipping good
goods and have your own brand or
trademark. We made eighteen ship
ments to our commission man and had
goods in every shipment that sold at
the highest prices. This result was Sc
cured by holding up the quality. AS
the season progressed we culled closer
and closer This naturally gave us a
smaller proportion Of fancy and No.
melons, but we had the satisfaction Of
getting the top price from first to last
for our best goods-that bore our trade
mark. A month after the melon season
was over the salesman who had charge
of selling our fruit said it was pleas
ure to handle such goods. 1t hurt the
customers at first to pay more than
they could get other melons for, but
after they once got started they almost
fought to get our fruit before 1t was
gone.-W. B. Lloyd. Illinois.

To Get Rid Of Quack Grass,

The difficulty in killing quack or
witch or twitch grass is that it grows
from underground stems Some plants
can be killed by clipping them again
and again before they go to seed. but
quack grass will grow fat on such
treatment. The roots or underground
stems must be torn up and killed by
exposure to sun and air. This Is done
by working the soil over and over with
a spring tooth harrow or disk or
cutaway, which will cut or tear OF
the roots and bring them to the sur
face. Rural New Yorker advises that
June is the best time for the work de-
scribed, but 1t requires long and pa
tient effort to kill out the quack.

BIG CONCRETE CHIMNEY.
Towering Shaft with Walls of She'll
like Contradiction.

In Butte, Mont, there stands a
mighty chimney the top of which is
$50 feet above the ground.
When its erection was planned the
first idea was to build 1t Of brick. That
would have required a thickness Of
twelve or fifteen feet Of masonry at its
base. But construction engineer from
Chicago was called into consultation.
He proposed that the huge chimney be
built of concrete, and, with some mis-
givings, the plan was adopted. He pre-
pared foundation six feet deep, II
by ~, of concrete, with number Of
steel reinforcing rods. Beginning at
the ground level, he carried two thin
concrete shells upward for 100 feet
The outer one Is only nine inches in
thickness, while. separated by four
inches Of space from this, is an inner
shell five inches thick. At height of
100 feet these two unite into a single
seven inch shell of concrete, which ex-
tends skyward until the vast height of
$50 feet Is reached.
This chimney, many feet higher than
our modern city skyscrapers, Is there
fore composed of but fourteen inches
of concrete at the base and half
that amount for the upper $50 feet. 1t
is not Of plain concrete, but Is re-en-
forced both horizontally and vertically
with a number of small steel rods,
which were held in place until the con-
crete had been deposited around them,
making REINFORCED concrete body SUI
perior in every way to both steel and
brick masonry. There are in the Unit
ed States scores of these wonderful
chimneys.

For use in minor streams and water
ways bell buoy operated by the tide
has been made available by the re-
cent invention of Thomas Weber of
Egg Harbor, n. ]. The device con-
sists of a float, which is fitted with a
paddle wheel. The latter is partially
submerged and the upper part entirely
housed in. SO that only the lower part
of the wheel Is exposed to the action
of the water.
No matter how slow the tide may be
running, the wheel is turned, and the
paddles in passing over and around
come in contact with the extended end
Of the bell clapper, which is raised a
short distance and released, whereupon
the bell is given a sharp blow. This
makes very effective and economical
means of marking a channel.
