Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it 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 Cattarh. which is nothing but an in
famed conditidn of the mucuous surfaces.

Portland. Ore.-Falling out of a
huge fir tree from height of so feet
near Berlin. Linn county, when shot
by hunters, black bear weighing 400
pounds struck squarely on a hound,
valued at $500. killing the animal in
stantly.
The incident was the result of an
hours chase. in which several farmers.
bent on avenging the slaughter of their
herds by bears. took part.
Warned by the barking hounds that
he was in danger. bruin took refuge in
the fir tree. A few minutes later a
party of six hunters emptied their
rifles into the tree-top.
Pierced by several bullets. the ami
NAL released its hold and crashed
through the branches to the ground.
One of the hounds. eager to seize the
bear, rushed in. but misjudged the dis
lance and received the full impact of
the animals weight.

badly shocked.
The lightning that killed Goree

they were standing. In the picture Mr..
Goree is seen smoking a pipe and his
head is turned slightly upward. as If

No one will rent the place, as the
neighbors say the place is infested by

leave Atami at daybreak to reach
that little warm-bath paradise before
dark. and then one will be very health
lily tired, The Atami fishermen are
rough, rather saturnine fellows, accus-
toned to the hardest work and the
most constant risks. They have to
beat out considerable distance for
their catch, and the sea round those
coasts is as capricious as spoilt

going into RACES at the next. The

the new instruction preach to those
who lead easier lives than theirs. and

which give them ' ope. and incidental

Very different from the deep-sea
fisherman's life is that of the river and
canal boatman. With Its one sail SGT
to catch the softly constant breeze. his
little craft winds In and out OF the
endless waterways that are never
ruffied by off-shore storms, and draws
into snug shelter when the steady,
Japanese rain pours down. The in
land boatman sees. perhaps. more of
the country than any of his fellow-in-'
habitants, and he has less trouble than
wants. The river fish are rather poor
in flavor compared with those of the

stream is called; but they are readily
caught and furnish many good meal.

Clayton, Del.-An angry boar tore
two big gashes in Thomas Sapp's thigh
and breast during a battle between the
man and beast in the pig stye on the
William Stevens farm.
Sapp had a pitchfork in his hands
at the time the boar rushed upon him.
and he raised it to strike, but the
weapon caught in the overhead limb
of tree and Sapp, losing his balance,
fell.
Before the farmer could regain his
feet the boar had gored him near
the hip. Sapp turned over to prevent
the animal attacking him in the face.
but before he did SO the boar was at
him second time, tearing a hole in
his breast.
Sapp's cries brought assistance and
the boar was driven off. 1t required
nearly 20 stitches to sew up the farm
er's wounds.

Wellesley Grows Mammoth Squash.

A squash Weighing 65 pounds and
big enough to furnish the substance
for a pie of sufficient size to feed a
goodly number of persons is an agri
cultural curiosity that was grown
without special care by Frank G. Muir
ply of Cedar street, Wellesley, says
the Boston Globe.
Five times the size of an ordinary
squash. the mammoth vegetable is at
tracing great deal OF curiosity
among the skilled farmers of Welles-
ley. Mr.. Murphy planted his squash
patch in June. The patch had ordi-
nary care during the summer, but no
special pains were taken to raise
vegetables of more than ordinary size
or excellence. Like Topsy in the old
and familiar melodrama, the mammoth
squash "just growed." along with near
ly a dozen others which fell short of
weighing 65 pounds by a matter of
20 to 80 pounds apiece.

the story? Did not the ladies board

They did, SIR answered Sir

We'll, why didn't you bring them

Couldn't you persuade them?"
