Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachan Tube. When this tube is 1nflamed
and when it IL entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

Boards and Shaving.

Peter the Great once forbade boards
throughout his %dominions. but, finding
how dearly the Russian loved his
beard, Peter allowed him to keep it if
he was a noble on payment of a tax Of
100 rubles about SD, and if he was ~
peasant or a priest. by paying a kopeck
half a cent? every time he passed the
gate Of a city. A large was
produced by the tax, in return for
which the collectors gave a small cop
per coin called the ''~borodovaia," Or
1.-The bearded;" and every man who
chose to wear a beard was obliged to
produce this when he entered a town
In default lie was thrown into prison.
DR.. John Bulwer in his "Anthropome-
t~amorphosis, or Man Transformed"
1880, writes angrily: Shaving the
chin is justly to be accounted a note Of
effeminacy. What greater evidence
can be given Of effeminacy than to be
transformed into the appearance Of a
woman? A shameful metanorpllosis!"
He declares it to be done against the
edicts of God, the oracles Of tie proph-
cts. the placits of the councils and the
judgment of learned men," But. i'll
spite of these Nominations, the custom
soon became universal, among soldiers
as well as civilians.

Books are friends whose society Is
extremely agreeable to me. They are
of all ages and of every country. They
have distinguished themselves both in
the cabinet and in the field and OBJ
tanned high honors for their knowledge
of the sciences. 1t is easy to gain ac-
cess to them, for they are always at
my service, and l admit them to my
company and dismiss them from 1t
whenever l please. They are never
troublesome. but Immediately answer
every question l ask them. Some re-
late to me the events Of past ages.
while others reveal to me the secrets
Of nature. Some teach me how to live
and others how to die. Some. by their
vivacity, drive away my cares and ex-
hilarate my spirits, while others give
fortitude to my mind and teach me the
important lesson how to restrain my
desires and depend wholly on myself.
They open to me, In short, the various
avenues Of all the arts and sciences,
and upon their information ! safely
rely In all emergencies. In return for
all these services they only ask me
to accommodate them with a conven-
lent chamber In some orne of my
humble h%abitation. where they may
repose In peace. for these friends are
more delighted by the tranquility Of
retirement than with the tumults Of
-society.-Francesco Petrarca.
