the curve where the times were

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There Is only one way to cure
deafness. and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an snfiamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube Is infiamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when II Is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. and unless
the Inflammation 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 ineamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces
We viii give One Hundred Dollars
for anv caae OF Deafness Ccaused By
catarrha that cannot be cured by

Umbrellas In Battle

It Is conceivable that the officers of Wellington's day thought him a terri. ole old bully. He actually forbade umbrellas in battle. He expected them not only to expose and sacrifice their lives at the word of command, but ac tually to risk the furnishing of theii beautiful uniforms in the rain whic. fell during a battle near Bayonne. He saw the Grenadiers sheltering under 8 forest of umbrellas and sent off Lord Hill with this message: Lord WellinE ton does not approve of the use of un- brellas during tho enemy's firing and ~tll not allow the 'Gentlemen's Sons
 'uake themselves ridiculous in the
 of the army" After the battle
 mel Tynling was reprimanded by
 duke for permitting the offense
 the great man, "The guards in --.form may. when on duty at St James, carry umbrellas if they please. but in the field 1t Is not only ridiculous but unmilitary." Let it h , he forgot ton. however, that the ,:elinquents. dandies though they Were. proved themselves among the brayest when lighting was going on.-St. James Ga Uette.

Precious Plant Stones.

Among the many strange things to be found in the Philippine Islands are the so called plant stones" encounter ed now and again in certain vegetable growths. The bamboo, for instance, according to Kultur und Natur, con tains a stone very similar to the opal, but on account of the rarity with which 1t Is found it is much more costly than the opal. Tn many thousand cane stalks cut down and carefully examined there may perhaps be one in which this beau hful greenish pink scintillating stone has been formed from the minute part cles of siliceous deposit that imparts It's intense hardness to the outer GOV ering of the cane. The bamboo cane stone Is known as tabashirs. In the interior of some cocoanuts a stonelikc secretion is found that Is not inferior In brilliancy to the most beautiful gen uine pearl.

A short tim.. ago a woman of fashion went into the establishment mentioned and tried on several hats, but found none to sui, her. Before going out she missed |, valuable hatpin.
