Hiuh Priced Elections.

A century ago elections in England
were costly affairs. In one case half
million pounds was spent on one
election alone. This was the great
contest for Yorkshire, in which the can
didates were Viscount Milton, the Hon.
Henry Lascelles and Mr.. Wilberforce.
Wllberforce won at cost Of f5S,OO0,
with every resource of the most rigid
economy and great voluntary assist
ance in labor"
Mrs. Fanny Kemble tells us of an
other Yorkshire contest, where the
money seems to have been spent just
as freely. Mrs. Wentworth Beaumont
is the heroine. "She, then very old
lady, drove in her travelling carriage to
Downing street and, demanding to see
the prime minister, with whom she
was well acquainted, accosted him
thus: Well my lord, are you quite de-
termined to make your man stand for
our seat? Yes, Mrs. Beaumont, l
think quite determined Very WE'LL

SEA FISH IN FRESH WATER.
Interesting Experiment Which May
Have Important Results,

An interesting experiment that may
have far.reaching results has just
been brought to successful termina.
ton In Germany. II has been proved
beyond question that deep.sea fish can
be acclimated and will live and breed
in fresh water.
A number Of different kinds Of FISH
were taken from the sea, including
whiting. herring. sole and founders.
ard placed in pool Of salt water
The percentage Of salt was then
gradually lessened by the addition Of
fresh water until finally no salt re.
manned.
Practically no material difference
took place In the Ash. which were as
lively and healthy after the treatment
as when they were taken out Of the
sea.
So encouraging has been the result
after q test extending over several
months. that deep.sea fish are now be-.
ing introduced into rivers and fresh.
water lakes In various parts OF Ger.
many. What changes may take place
IN the nature ana habits Of the fish
remain as yet to be seen, as does also
the question OF their market value.
The complete success Of this expert.
ment will completely change the fish.
Ing industry. and will prove an espec.
iai boon to communities far removed
from the seaboard. An American who
has lived for any length Of time In

remote from both the Atlantic and
the Pacific. knows how greatly deep.

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 iuflsmed con-
dition OF the mucous lining OF the Ensta-
chian Tube. When this tube is inhsmed
you have a rumbing sound or imperfect
hearing, and when il is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in-
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition OF the mucous surfaces.

True Cause of Disease.

Dr. Hartman has consistently con-
tended through all the rise and spread
of the germ theory, that most diseases
are caused by climate Influences.
For instance, catching cold is respon-
sible for more than one-half ot the ills
to which human beings are subject.
Danger of Neglected Colds.
A person catches cold easily, thinks
nothing about it, negiecfs II, when 1t

Almost every body knows this.
Instead OF trying to dislodge or XIII
some imaginary germ, IL Peruna was
used at the proper time its tonic proper
itics and anti-catarrhal qualities would
soon convince the patient that he has
found the right remedy.
A multitude Of letters are received
testifying to this fact.
Keep Peruna in the house. Use 1t

become greatly lessened, IL not entirely
prevented.
