Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional re-
medies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a 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 restoI =
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but AN inflamed con

CONDITIONS
ARE IMPROVING

Recent activity on the Stock Ex.
change has been in refreshing contrast
with the stagnation of the last few
months The better undertone which
was intimated in these advices rs
early rs Septmber 10th has at last
crystalized into an active demand for
stocks at advancing prices As usual,
the initiative was assumed by power.
ful financial leaders who recognized
changed conditions, and each day the
buying movement widened with a re.
sultant advance of several points in
all the leading shares The most i'm.
portant single element of improvement
was the positive assurance of bump.
er corn crop. The value of a good har.
vest is much more highly appreciated
in the West than here. As result of
the big corn yield, our Western farm.
ers and merchants have each put on a
spirit of renewed confidence. so that
already the business outlook through.
out the great corn belt is showing real
Improvement. Pessimism, never SO deep
in the West as in the East, Is now
rapidly disappearing for the farmers
and Land speculation has received "a
wholesome quietus through the time
ly efforts eNertod 10y interior bankers.
Incoming adviceS from the West are
all OF much more favorable nature
than "a few weeks ago. Corn Is lower
in price than last year, but this fact
will be offset by farmers feeding more
corn TO cattle. As the latter are bring
ing high prices, it will prove more
profitable to turn corn into meat than
into any other marketable product.
Our foreign trade is showing very
remarkable and satisfactory change to-.
wards more normal conditions In
September our exports were valued at
nearly sl69, 600, 600. This was nearly
SO, 600, 600 in excess of last year. and
was probably the heaviest September
on record. The increase was partly due
to heavy cotton shipments. Imports
during the same month amounted to
only Sll1, 900, 600, "A decrease of nearly
81, 600, 600 compared with last year.

imports instead Of exports as usual 1t
is quite possible to have a satisfactory
foreign trade in which imports exceed

in the final analysis IS barter, and can
not be continued unless mutually

always been an export country, owing
to its surplus of agricultural products
With the growth of population it is
certain we shall gradually change in
this respect, and if we are to continue

BOILING LIME
SULPHUR MIXTURE

From Wsynesboro, Pa, in a region
now known for its successfully restor-
ed industries, a letter from one of the
prominent {ruit growers reached State
Zoologist II. y. Surface, of Harris
burg, stating that the writer had fail
ed to find in the Bulletins a detailed
discussion as 20 whether the time sui.
fur solution. which is universally be
ing used in that region to suppress
scale and other pests, is better boiled
in an open vessel or in closed vessel
DR. Surface discussed this question
in this reply as follows:
Tie reason you did not find dis
cussion in our Bulletin as to whether
the lime-suifur spiation should be
boiled in an open or closed vessel. is
the fact that it does not make ore bit
of difference. You cannot boil it in &.
vessel tightly enough closed to keep in
the steam. You d0ubtless saw US boil
it IN an open kettle. We obtained good
results by so doing If You would boil
il in covered vessel you would sim.
ply prevent the rapid evaporation of
water, and perhaps hold the heat long
er. but there are no special points of
value in this.
when boiling With steam, l recon-
mend running the steam pipes direct
ly into the solution. The steam will
escape and condense, bat the condensa-
tion will not be more than that which
is boiled away by steam after you get
the boiling well started. 1t is a great
deal of trouble to run a circular coil
of pipes through barrels or vats for
boiling with steam, and l have found
by experience that it is not necessary.
Y You can boil lime sulfur solution in
an open kettle, on a fire of old rough
stumps or logs, or you can boil it by
extending the ends of steam pipes
down into watts or barrels, or in any
way so that it can be boiled an hour.
There is nc other material that eau Jg
boiled by such variety of methods
and have good results III killing the
scale. The main point is, not to dilute
it too mleh, and to do this you should
have hvdrometer, aud dilute it SO
that it does not stand lower than /. o.
specific gravity test, when liquid is
almost Without sediment.
There may be dark sediment in
the solution, which is ali right. The
sediment hurts nothing, neither does
it kill the sale 1t is the red liquid
which is she really effective scale kill
er. HoReyer, there is no need of GO
ing to tho trouble of removing the

AS Viewed BY The Sportsmen.

Danville hunters thus far this sea-
son have met with Indifferent success,
With the exception of woodcock, sew
eral fine bags of which have been
brought into town, game in season, if
at all plentiful, has succeeded in elud-
ing the sportSmen.
The succession of showers yesterday
rendered conditions unfavorable for
the pursuit of game, and the hunters
who took TO the woods III the morn
ing. returned home early wet and
empty-handed.
An experienced hunter last evening
explained that it is little too early
for pheasants, owing to the presence
of foliage on the trees, which affords
these willy birds an opportunity to
conceal themselves. No experienced
hunter expects to bag many pheasants
until after the leaves have fallen.
Few quail are seen. These have been
scarce for years, but each season they
seem to be becoming more plentiful
With respect to wild turkeys the
record has been broken for so early in
the season. An unusually large num-
ber of squirrels also have been shot.
1t will not be until next Tuesday
November lst-when the rabbit season
opens, however, that the real slaught-
er of game will begin. The cotton
tails, which have been increasing in
numbers during several years past,
this season promise to afford rare sport
to the hunters. Never have they ap-
peared so plentiful. a gunner, who
was in the woods couple of hours
yesterday, declared he could have shot
three. A day or so before in stroll
he started seven rabbits.
