Deafness Cannot Be Cured

reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There IL only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness Is caused by an

the result. and unless the inflamma-

A Curious Tree.

One of the natural curiosities of
south Mashenaland Is a German
sausage tree" 1t bears deep crimson
flowers, three inches long. in blazing
punches of twelve. but when the tree
fruits into fat. substantial. sausage
like pods there remain no leaves. and
It looks like sausage larder indeed.
These beans are twenty inches long
and twelve inches in girth and are be-
loved Of the native tribe of Shangaans
and balloons. But the tribe of the
karenga are a very superior people
and would never deign to eat them.
There can he no reason Dor this. as
at least no one can accuse these "sau-
sages" of being connected In any way
with dogs or cats.-Natal Witness.

THE GOMPERS, EFT AL, DECISION,

W hatever else, says the Union
Sentinel, may be the result one
thing is certain, and that is, that
nothing short Of the military arm
of the government can inlet pun
ishment upon all the American
citizens who are criticising the
courts in unmistakable terms,
Not long ago, during a heated
campaign in race for the Circuit
Judgeship in one of the back
counties, one of the aspirants who
had served many years as Justice
of the Peace, declared that he was
better qualified to fill the office
than his opponent who was an ex-
perlenced barrister, and by the
by, a graduate of the Columbia
Law School. "Why fellow citi
zens' said he ''I have lived here
always, and I know our statutes
by heart.'' ''Yes' declared his
learned opponent "that may be so,
but the trouble with you is that
some logger headed leg islature may
come along next year and repeal
al! you know In like manner
some of our ''learned'' Judges
have Cotton into the habit Of re.
pealing acts of Congress and Legis
latures, and then substituting
courtmaIe laws and proceeding to
execute them. The time was not
long ago when the American people
viewed with q Jealous eye the en-
croachment of one coordinate
branch of the government upon an
other, but now it is no uncom mon
thing for a judge to make law,
declare it violated and proceed to
sit In Judgment against the alleged
vlolator OF the law, deprive him OF
his liberty without due process of
law, denying him the right of trial
by jury. This is indeed ''govern-
ment by injunction" but all the
people are not willing to submit to
it. On one Sabbath day whilst
the children Of Israel were Journey
ing in the wilderness of Mount
Sinai, one of them was actually
caught in the act of "picking up
sticks,' he was arrested and
brought before the chief magistrates
who examined the law, but finding
none ON that subject they declared
that for this henious crime the
man should be taken withou the
camp and 'stoned to DEATH -
This same spirit turks in "gov-
eminent by injunction, but the
civilized, humanized, part of the
people do not approve it, and will
not always submit to it.

A political wit said a few wears
ago, "The workingman's business
in 1894 would not be claSsod as a
tIade. 1t was a walk in life'-in
search Of work - The same might
be said of the workingman's bus
mess in 1908. In fact, it could
hardly be termed a walk, for there
is nowhere to walk to in the hope
of finding work.

vuIture and Rather.

An odd battle between a California
vulture and a rattlesnake was wit
messed in the Cocopah mountains OF
Lower California. IT was in the early
morning. The big bird had seized the
snake behind the head and was strug-
ging upward with its wrifaing. deadly
burden. The snakes captOr appeared
aware that its victim was dangerous.
The burden was heavy. as the reptile
was nearly five feet long.
The grip of the bird on the snakes
body was not Of the best. The snake
seemed TO be squirming from its cap
tors talons. at least sufficiently to en-
able it to strike Its triangular head
was seen TO recoil and dart at the
mass of feathers.
1t did this once or twice, and then
with a shrek the vulture dropped its
prey. The bird was probably 500 feet
or so above the observers. The as
tonished men were then treated to a
spectacle seldom seen. Few birds but
a vulture could accomplish such feat.
The instant the snake escaped from
the birds clutches it dropped earth
ward like a shot. and like a shot the
bird dropped after it. catching 1t in
midair with a grip that caused death.
At any rate, the snake ceased to wrig-
gle, and the vulture scared away to a
mountain peak TO devour its hard
earned meal.
