A Mystery to Won Moltke.

From the cleveland Leader.
Two brothers were once at Count Won
Moltke's house at an evening party; both
were captains OF the general staff. The
general came up to a group Of gentlemen,
one of whom was one of the brothers.
After joining in the conversation, he asked
the latter, "Just tell me who Is that tall
officer. near the fire place on the other
side-I forget his anne.
That's my brother, YOU excel!e.cy."
was the answer.
A smile stealing over the generals face
suggested the idea that he had not obtained
the information he wished. Some time
after the general went to another group
Of people, and there joined the officer
whose name he had inquired. Suddenly
The others saw him turning away. with
the same smile on his face.
Afterward, when they inquired from the
young officer what the general had asked
him, ne replied HE asked me who that
officer was oyer there
and what did you say?"
II said that he was my brother The
| general gave up inquiring the name or the
two brothers for that evening.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There in
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
caused by an in1amed condition Of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t 10
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 Ca

dition Of the mucous surfaces.

When fish, however. they were few.

When Gaines milldam made a roar
As though the water hurled

The oak trees and the beech,
Were lost In clouds on days like these
And eyes could hardly reach
Their waving tops? When MONDAY skies

Where captive maidens. once, like slaves
Were chained in some damp room?
