Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There 10
only one way to cure deafness, and that IL
caused by an inflamed condition of the Inu-
cous lining Of the Hustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t ts
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to It's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

bled when It's contents have been re-
moved. It can then be packed in
small space to facilitate transportation.
This barrel is made in two sections,
preferably of sheet metal, and in form
resembles the common type of barrel.
The longitudinal edges are divided into
tongues, each alternate tongue having
double edges, forming recesses into
which the interlOcking tongues on the
opposite section connect. Perfect joints
are thus provided, preventing any dam
age to the barrel should it be handled,
carelessly in transportation. The cir
cular heads of the barrel fit into
grooves top and bottom on the outside
Of the barrel; fitting into the grooves
are bands Of wire, both ends Of which
are connected to a lever. BY turning
the lever in the direction of the arrow,
In the illustration, the band contracts,
causing the end of the barrel to con-
tract also.

Liberal Measure.

To illustrate the value of exact ODE
dience to orders, a politician tells the
following story, which the New York
Tribune repeats:
There was young man In leve with
a rich and beautiful girl. The girl
informed him one afternoon that the
next day would be her birthday. He
said he would send her the next MORN
ing a bouquet of roses, one for each
year.
So that night he wrote a note to
his florist, ordering the immediate de-
livery Of twenty roses to the young
woman. The florist read the order, and
thought he would please the young
man by improving on it, so he said
to his clerk:
Here's an order from young Smith
for twenty roses. Smith is one Of my
best customers. Throw IN ten more
for good measure"

Surfaces for the toe and heel Of the
shoe are provided, directly below which
are slots for guiding the strap. At the
toe there is also a small stationary
strap, and at the ankle two rings, one
on each side. The advantage of this
construction is the fact that 1t Obvi-
ates the use of two or more buckles
Zone for the toe and one for the ankle),
as is usual. With this arrangement
there is no undue pressure on the foot
at any point, the pressure of the strap
being equalized. By taking up the
buckle the entire strap (bOth heel and
toe) is frightened, while letting out of
tee buckle eases the strap at every
point of the foot.

DINING IN JAPAN.

If It's Your First JAPANESE Meal You
Will Have n Trying Time.
If it's your first japanese dinner
you're having a dreadfully hard time
In the first place you must sit on the
floor, fo- they don't have any chairs
in Japan. You kneel down, and then
you turn your toes in till one laps over
the other, and then you sit back be-
tween your heels. At first you are
quite proud to find how well you do it,
and you don't think it's so very I'M
comfortable. But pretty soon you get
cramped, and your legs ache as if you
had a toothache in them. You don't
say anything, because you think that if
the japanese can sit this way all day
long you ought to be able to stand it a
few minutes. Finally both your feet
go to sleep, and then you can't bear it
a moment longer, and you have to get
up and stamp around the room to drive
the little dancing girls giggle at you
This isn't your only trouble either. All
you have to eat with is pair of chop
sticks, and you're in terror lest you
spill something on the dainty white
mating floor. Now the floor of a Jap
anese house isn't just the floor; it's the
chairs and sofas and tables and beds
as we'll. At home it would be mortify-
ing enough to go out to dinner and
spill something on the floor, but in
Japan, where people sit and sleep on
the floor, it seems even worse. So you
are unhappy till your little nesan (who
is the waitress and almost as prettily
dressed as the dancing girls, but not
uuite) comes laughing to yeur aid
and shows you how to hold your chop
sticks. After that you manage nicely
the rice and the Omelet, but the fish
and the chicken you can't cOntrive to
shred apart without dropping your
chopsticks all the time. So between
dances the maiko--the little girls about
10 wears Old-kneel down beside you
and help you. They can't keep from
giggIing at your awkwardness, but you
don't mind; you just giggle, too, and
everybody giggles and has a lovely
time.-St. Nicholas.

the same saw they use for cutting the
wood. In this way the teeth of the
saw are generally ruined, as they are
not tempered to withstand the rough
work. To avoid running the wood-cut-
ting edge of the saw, additional cut
ting teeth are attached to the opposite
edge of the implement. The teeth ex-
tend about one-third the length of the
saw and are especially hardened to
offer greater resistance to nails and
other pieces of metal. When a metal
object is encountered the carpenter re-
verses the saw and uses the metal-cut-
ting teeth which are made Of the same
width as the wood-cutting teeth on the
opposite edge To prevent the saw
bending it is reinforced at the end.
