Deafness Cannot be Cured.


by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion o.
the ear. There is only one way te
cure deafness and that is by consti
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachiar
Tube. When this tube is inf lmed
you have "a rum6ling sound or i'm

tirely closed Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube rest bred tC

ten are caused by Catarrh, which is

Nearly all old-fashioned Cough
Syrups are constipating, especially
those that contain opiates. They
don't act just right. Kennedy S
Laxative Cough Syrup contains no
opiate. 1t drives the cold out of the
system by gently moving the
bowels. Contains Honey and Tar
and tastes nearly as good as maple
syrup. Children like it. Sold by

By far the most important
step yet taken by the govern
ment in the campaign of trust
busting" is the scheme that has
been outlined by the department
of Justice for the appointment
of a receiver for any corporation
found violoting the Sherman
Antitrust Act. This is some
thing new under tie sun. At
least, There is no palpable evil
dence that it was ever used by
Darius. the Persian, or that like
the invention of gunpowder, it
was an old trick of the Chinese.
1t is a radical move i'll the realm
of octopus hunting, and it looks
as though the trusts would have
to figure a long time before they
found way to beat it.
The great trouble has been
heretofore that though the gov
ernment might gain an occasion
al legal victory over some big
monopolistic corporation, as was
done IN the case Of the Northern
Securities company and over the
Standard Oil IN 1899. yet there
was no assurance that after the
verdict had been rendered in ia
vof of the government it would
have any effect in really break
ing up the monopoly at which it
was aimed. The trust would
cheerfully go about com plying
with the order of the court to
dissolve itself, and would take
so long in the process that even
tually everyone would forget all
ABOUT the original decision.
When it did finally dissolve there
would be SOME new company
spring up, owned and Differed
by the same officials and would
cheerfully continue the same un-
lawful practices for which they
have been dissolved before. But
new Milton Purly, the Assistant
Attorney General has devieed
a plan that promises to eliminate
the trust managers from the
problem. At least, Mr.. Purdy
gets the credit for originating
the receivership plan, though
Col. Bryan probably will say
that is only his government own
ership scheme thinly disguised.
Mr.. Purdy proposes that
when the government gats an
Injunction diSSOlvlng a trust. it
shall not fool with the old Off
Gals of the trust and expect
them to put themselves out of
business. He will ask for a re-
ceiyer and run the business un-
der government supervision for
so long a time as is necessary
while the trust is getting judi
ciously broken up aud restored
to it's original parts Of course,
the cry will be raised immedi-
ately that this is nothing less

MINGLING OF THE RACES.
Human Life Much Like Plant OrRan-
 ization, It Is Asserted.

In the course of many years of ln- vestigation Into the plant life of the world, creating new forms, modifying old ones, adapting others to new con- dltlons and blending still others, have constantly been impressed with the similarity between the organization and development of plant and human life, says Luther Burbank In the Gen. tury.
 While I have never lost sight of the principle of the survival of the Attest and all that It Implies as an explana. ton of the development and progress of plant life, I have come to find In the crossing of species and In selection. wisely directed, great and powerful instrument for the transformation of the vegetable kingdom along lines that lead constantly upward. The crossing of species Is to me paramount. Upon 1t, wisely directed and accompanied by a rigid selection of the best and as rigid an exclusion of the poorest, rests the hope of all progress. The mere crossing of species, unaccompanled by selection, wise supervision, intelligent care and the utmost patience, Is not likely to result In marked good, and may result In vast harm. Unorganized effort Is often most vicious in Its ten- derneSS.

BY ELECTRICITY.
Ingenious New Mechanism Used at
 British Shipyard.

British Shfpyard.
 The launching of the new British battle ship Agamemnon, which took place on June 23 at Delmuir, Scotland, was marked by the use of ingenious new mechanism, says the Literary Di- gest. In particular, we are informed by a writer In Engineering, that the old type of dogshores was replaced by an electrical arrangement connected to a series of interlocking levers, which release the triggers that hold the ves- sel until the signal is given that all Is ready for launching. Says the writeri
 Two separate triggers were placed on each side each fitted with magnetic reply gear to indicate on the launching platform that the mechanism had worked satisfactorily. The whole gear was controlled by means of minia- ture steering wheel and standard plac- ed on the launching platform, and so adjusted that when the Countess of Aberdeen, who performed the cere- mony, gave the wheel one complete revolution, the triggers were released
 
 the ways. A powerful hydraulic ram was placed at the forward end of the sliding ways on each side of the vessel, the cylinders being coupled to the same supply pipe to Insure equality of pres sure. These rams were for the pur- pose of giving the vessel a start If she had not moved directly the triggers were released; but In this instance they were unnecessary. The drags for checking the way on the ship after she had successfully taken the water were formed of chain cables, three piles being arranged on each side to come into play at suitable intervals. The total weight of drags employed was about 600 tons, and their action In bringing the ship to rest was In every way satisfactory. The total time taken from the strat until the vessel was actually clear of the ways was :51."
 The writer says further:
 "The particular berth upon which the Agamemnon was built was spe- cially prepared for the laying down of a vessel of the largest and heaviest type, great care having been taken in the pillng In the area. Nearly 1000 pitch-pine logs, each 40 feet long and 12 inches square, were driven vertic- ally into the ground, with cross ties on their tops, the total quantity of timber used In the preparation of the berth amounting to about SO,0O0 cubic feet"

capital. So dominant did her influence become at one time that 1t was neces- sary as a matter of self-preservation for the leaders of the older set to com. bine against her sway, and as a result there sprang up two clrcles-one domI- hated by the charming countess and the other by older and more conservative women. As the close personal friend of Alice Roosevelt she was constantly .n the limelight and she managed to keep the center of the stage for several years. She was a daring horsewoman and daily was seen galloping through the streets and avenues of the capital and through the country roads and lanes of the contiguous country. She was also gifted with great histrlonic ability and her amateur theatricals were a feature of Washington entertainments. Gay al- most to boldness, free almost to man. nishness, daring to the uttermost limit she made Washington gasp on many sn occasion.

Importing Files.

We know how the gypsy moth was brought into this country, and every body will hope that If any winged crea- lures are to be imported here they may be dead specimens of their kind. A paragraph In a recent English paper makes mention of cargo of flies land ed there toward the close of March. It consisted of several sacks filled with dried files, consigned to large firm of grain merchants.
 These files, exported from Brazil, have been purchased for use in the manufacture of food for chickens, cage birds and the like.
 They were caught on the river Ama- zon by Brazilians, who travel up the river In flat-bottomed boats, and who are provided with gauge nets with which they capture these insects in millions, as flies hover In dense clouds over many of the swamp reaches of the Amazon. The flies thus caught are kill ed and dried in the sun.

Fifteen years ago, when the Mason ic Temple, In Chicago, was built, 1t was the tallest building In the world. It still holds Its place as the highest business structure In Chicago, though the limit has been outdone many times In New York. Today such has been the advance in sky-scraper engineer Ing that New York has now In course of construction building that will be nearly twice as high as the Masonic Temple. The foundations for this new est sky-piercer, which is to be 625 feet high above the sidewalk, and has forty one stories, are already in, and the work of pillng the structure skyward has begun.
 To conceive a forty-one story build Ing, with Its roof three times as high in air as the steeple of Trinity church, from which visitors formerly viewed New York, challenges the imagination. This sky-scraper limit" Is being part ly remodeled from the fourteen-story Singer Building, and the eleven-story

The headof manufacturing concern keeps his eyes open to prevent waste. There must be no extravaganza In la Dor, In time, in fuel, In machinery. He looks for the minimum of cost and the maximum of profit. It Is a matter of business and he manages 1t along strict ly business principles. How many farmers manage their farms along business principlesl Too few here abouts. And yet farming Is as much the farmers business as manufactur- ing Is the business of the other.

Bourne office building adjoining 1t on Liberty street.
 Only the Eiffel Tower, of all struc- lures reared by ingenious men. rises 70 a greater height than will this forty one-story building. But the openwork Eiffel Tower Is an engineering freak, while the New York sky-scraper will oe the business home of multitude of people.
 In the very block on Broadway where the workmen are beginning to rear this colossus, another equally won derful office building Is to rise, more roomy even than It's companion. In the Singer building alone. an army of 1o0,- 900 men could find easy standing room on Its nine and one-half acres of floor space.
 The drawing reproduced herewith from the architects working plans and designs does not convey, at first glance, an Idea of the ambitious scale on which New York's sky-scraper limit" Is being erected. But everybody familiar with the downtown district of New York will recognize In the foreground, on the corner of Broadway and Liberty street, the old Benedict building. This Is six stories high. Fifty years ago 1t was one of the tallest and finest build ings In New York.
 It Is only by comparing the Benedict building with the forty y-one story Sing CT and Bourne structures now rising skyward behind 1t that the immense height and capacity of the latter can be even faintly realized. Trinity church Is completely dwarfed, and so, buildings along Broadway, which were once referred to as sky-scrapers, but which are now beginning to present a very shrunken appearance when com pared with their lofty neighbors.
 Within less than year the aspect of Broadway, from Cortlandt street down to Trinity church, will be totally changed, and the finest street vista in the world will be seen. The greatest buildings In the world will by that time UC sIOupGb ou lhSsC AOuI DAoShot to"CI- ing far above everything else In thu city.
 The necessity for such buildings In New York, or the desirablllty, is indi- cated by the fact that the Bourne Singer building. If one-story, would GOV CT twenty-nine of the city blocks sur rounding 1t These blocks, or most of them, are not large, however. Still. 1. one of the modern buildings requires such enormous space If built low, the excuse for extreme height In a city where the sky-scraner district Is limit ed, as in New York, becomes apparent
 The sky-scraper Is unknown In Flu rope, and, furthermore, Is undesired In Berlin no building may be more than one-half again as high as the street on which 1t Is located Is wide. About the same standard, subject to various minor notifications, prevails In the other large European cities. Few buildings In London or Paris are more than six or seven stories high. Farther east In Europe the standard h even lower.

The girls employed in a porcelain factory in New Jersey went out on strike the other day because the man. ager ordered that they must no longer sing at their work. They had been in the habit of amusing themselves by singing popular songs, hymns and Sun. day school music, but they may do that no more. Rather than keep silent they stopped work. It cannot be that the manager was married, else he would have known what result to expect from such an order.

Robert Watchorn, the commissioner of immigration, has made sympathet- ic and thorough study of the immigrant types that reach New York.
 Discussing these types the other day. he said:
 ''The most naive are the Germans from the smaller and remoter states. They have the charmingly simple and quaint minds of children.
 "A beautiful German girl disembark- ed here the other day. She was tall and strong, blue-eyed and yellow-hair- ed. She wanted to know at once if there were any letter for her.

The Land of old Age.

This Is one Of the bitterst things we mothers have to bear when we get old. We have learned then that we can't help our children to lead their lives one bit better. There Is not one single stone We can clear from before their feet be our old fingers ever so willing. With yearnlng hearts we see them making the mistakes we could teach them to avoid if only they would listen. We see them going through one experi- ence after another, stumbling here, again hurting themselves against the same corner you hurt yourself so long ago, repeating all the world-worn mis- takes, while we elders watch anxiously and may not even cry out Take care" Our sons repeat the follies of their fathers; our daughters make over again all the mistakes of their mothers. It Is very hard to sit in silence when you see them doing all the things that you did and then so painfully learned bet ter. We feel that we could so easily point to the fair open road If our chill dren would let us, but we are as use less to them as guide-posts to the blind. We must watch our children lose them selves In the tangle whose miseries we know so we'll and see them at last after long years of wandering find their way back home heart sore and worn and all the time we can't help thinking 1t all needn't have been. That to us older mothers Is the heartrending part of it-Harper's Bazaar.

Dr. Samuel J. Barrows, the we'll. known writer on social questions, con- tributes to Charities, the weekly jour nal of philanthropy and reform, an ex- cellent account of the recent conference of the National Prison Association, which met at Albany and was briefly mentioned In the New York press. Vital topics were discussed at the congress, which, by the way, Is declared to have been the most profitable and successful prison reform In North America. The attendance reached 400, and every dele gate was a practical student of the problems under discussion. Wardens, prison chaplains, physicians in charge of convicts, social workers who regu. larly visit penitentiaries and jails made up the bulk of the delegations from the States, territories and Canadian prov inces. It was the consensus of opinion that the jail system was the weak spot In the whole scheme of penal admins tratlon. The buildings and the feeding of the prisoners have shown much im- provement, but otherwise there has been no advance In fifty years The conference agreed upon the need of a uniform system of prison discipline and Jail administration. At the next meet ing of the association a report is to be presented thoroughly covering the sub- ject. One of the most important of the topics was the enforced likeness of con- victs and prisoners. One expert de clared the prisoners greatest need to be the habit of industry, and to con- demn him to idleness was to inJure not only him but society as well. An ex- tremely and varied exhibition of goods manufactured by convlcts was a fea- ture of the conference, and 1t served as an object lesson In the utility and good effects of prison labor Judiciously regu- lated. The parole system, tuberculosis in prisons, the attitude of wardens to- ward reform suggestions and expert ments, classification and education of convicts, juvenile criminals and so on were on the program of the conference as subjects of study and debate. In several directions advance was record ed, but there Is evidently plenty of room for further improvement, and the association Is stimulating thought and doing good work along rational and sci- entifc lines.
