der?'' said German. He did a dread.
full thing once. I'll tell you about it.
'Strohshneider appeared in GER
tain village and advertised that he
would take the landlord of the village
inn up with him on trapeze hanging
from the car of his balloon
Though the landlords wife made a
kick. and the authorities unfolding her.
forbade the man to accompany Stroh-
schneider. the landlord sat in state on
the trapeze beside the famous aeronaut
when the ascension began.
But those nearest to him noticed
that he was paler than ghost, and that
his arm was thrown around Strohschnei-
der's neck, as if in terror. And noting
these things, the people nodded ominous-
ly to one another.
up and up went the balloon, and
now murmur of horror rose amongst
the multitude. The aeronaut and the
landlord were quarreling; they were
fighting; high up there in the Clouds
perche0 on the swaying trapeze, they
struggled, thumped, kicked.
Suddenly the aeronaut, in a mad
burst of rage, seized the landlord by the
throat. thrust him backward and flung
him into space. Down the poor fellow
dropped like stone. turning over and
over. He lighted on his head.
1.-THE people, mad with horror and
rage. rushed to the spot And there
to their amazement stood the landlord,
laughing heartily. The figure that had
fallen was a manikin dressed up in his
clothes.
And this the speaker concluded, SIS
the only practical joke that has ever
been played from balloon"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

DEAFNESS Cannot Be cured
by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
and unless the inflammation can be TAX.
en- out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever: nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Cstarrh, which is no
