COLOMBIAN ETIQUETTE.
Daily Handshaking and Greeting Con-

Daily Handshaking and Greeting Con-
 sume Lot of Time.
 It was the third or fourth day out from Santa Marta, Colombia, and early In the morning when one of the South American passengers came on deck. Another South American arose from his deck chair. extended his hand and as the men shook hands inquired after the health of the newcomer, his wife and his children.
 As they had parted company only about eight hours before in the smok- ing room, this seemed like unnecessary courtesy. The observer noticed that this happened in the case of all the Colombians on board, so he asked one man about it.
 Tt is a custom of the country" said he. 'On the occasion of meeting per son for the first time each day it is etiquette to shake hands and to make Inquiries about the health of the per- son so greeted and of his relatives. It would not be considered polite to do otherwise"
 Continuing, this man told of taking a walk one day in Bogota with a mer- chant of the place. They were bent on business and were to. cover a dis tance that might be made rather easily in ten minutes. Because of the neces- sary stops to make the customary in- quiries and to shake hands with friends of the merchant the trip took nearly an hour,-New York Sun.

 Michael Mullins, living on Hicks avenue, Stafford Springs, Conn , says: "My wife had been in poor health for some time, and I now think her trouble was caused by weakened and disordered kidneys. She complained a great deal of backache and pains in her sides. She was very nervous and suhi hiect to sick headaches and dizzy spells. I had often heard of the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills and finally procured a box of theirremedy at Eaton's drug store.

Deafness Cannot be Cure.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot 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 in- hamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube iS infiamed you have a rumbllng sound of imperfect hear ing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever {; nine cases out of ten are caused by CatarFh which is nothing but an mhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Oriental. Runs.

The principal types of oriental rugs are Caucasian, Turkish, Persian, Turkoman and Indian. Sir George Birdwood is of the opinion that, what ever their type of ornamentation may be, a deep and complicate symbolism, originating in Babylonia and possibly India, pervades every denomination of oriental carpets. Thus the carpet it. relf prefgures space and eternity and the general pattern or filling, as it is technically termed, the fleeting finite universe of animated beauty. Every Solor used has it's significance, and the design, whether mythologfcal or nat ural, bestial or floral, has its hidden meaning. The very irregularities, ei- ther in drawing or coloring, to be ob- served in almost every oriental car pet and invariably in Turkoman car pets are seldom accidental. the usual deliberate intention being to avert the evil eye and insure good luck.-St. TOufa Globe Democrat.
