Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Living According to Today.

From the Lowell Courier Citizen.
DR.. Wiley says people can live now
about as well and cheaply as ten
years ago If they would live in the
same way. About everybody else is
saying the same thing. People simply
will not go back to the old style unless
they have to. If, as DIR. Wiley says,
they pay $40 a bushel for wheat made
into breakfast foods, it Is because they
want to, knowing as we'll as he does
that they could get the cereals in
cheaper forms. The chemist, says,
too, that they are cheated in some
canned goods. This they cannot very
well help, though they might do
something by refusing to buy cans i'm
properly filled. They like the canned
goods as they do the breakfast foods,
and while they have the price will buy
them. 1t is immaterial that they are
not making the most of their money.
Domestic economy has been a neglect
ed science for some time.

The Zulu Diamond Miner.

AS showing the loyalty of the Zulu

described an amusing incident which
came to his knowledge when at Kip

few stones. and the owner sold the
claim. handing over the plant and the

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutions al
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling 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 restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever: nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,

Tree Surgery.

From the Philadelphia Press.
An evidence of the beneficent spirit
of the conservation of the useful and
beautiful that is now being so happily
shown throughout our country is to
be seen in the minor, but none the
less important. rehabilitation of the
stately and beautiful shade trees of
our eastern country. These one-time
monarchs of the forest that formerly
covered this section of the country
have been allowed to decay and fall
by the thousands, but now wise sys-
tenn Of tree surgery and repair is in
augurated, and skilled men diagnose
the condition of these grand sentinels,
and by a system of judicious cutting
away the dead wood. filling in the
gashes with bricks and mortar, and
in some cases with cement, thus
strengthening the otherwise weak
trunks, and then by skillful covering
OF the exposed parts with tin or zinc,
carefully painted to represent the nat
ural hues of the bark, the tree is re-
stored to its beauty and guarded
against further premature decay.

"A Hundred Years Hence"

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
John d. Rockefeller recently said
that he was content to have his work
Judged q hundred years hence. If the
present misunderstands him he looks
to the future for redress. This reli-
ance on the justice of an infallible
future Is by no means uncommon. It
seems heaven-sent refuge from con-
temporary distress. 1t is natural, it
Is consoling. But 1t Is at the same
time pathetic. We were once the fu-
turo ourselves. What judgments of
our ancestors of a hundred years ago
have We authoritatively reversed !?
What great acts of posthumous justice
are written to our credit? Few, If any.
The tendency of the future is to con-
secrate. not reverse, the past. 1t takes
contemporary judgments and elevates
them to the rank of traditions. Here
and there a scientific historian or a
paradoxical genius may seek to re-
verse contemporary opinion. But
these efforts are drops of water dap
ping the surface of an ocean.
