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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stEoyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

A SMALL BLAZE
IN THE CITY CALABOOSE
John p. Cheney,
Marietta, Ga.

A fire in the city calaboose caused
some excitement about two o'clock
Sunday morning, but when the fire
department reached the scene they
found it to be only a pile of bed
clothes that had been ignited by one
of the prisoners. There were only two
prisoners in the calaboose at the time
and each one denied responsibility
for the fire. Chief Goodson is of the
opinion that one OF the prisoners
started the fire thinking that in the
excitement that would follow he
would be able to escape, However,
the prisoners got the worst OF the
bargain as they were almost suffocated
by the smoke before the cell door
could be opened.

DEATH OF EMMETT L. KENDRICK

Emmett L. Kendrick, aged As years
a conductor on the w. & A. railroad
was killed in the railroad yards in
Chattanooga, Saturday night. The
body was carried to the family home
in Atlanta Sunday, and Monday at
O'Clock p. M, the funeral was held al
the Baptist Tabernacle, OF which he
was a member. DR.. Broughton, the
pastor, conducting the services. The
interment was at West View. He lie
survived by his wife and three small
children, his father, Capt. George
Kendrick, of Acworih, and one sisrer,
Mrs Annie Gunnell, OF Atlanta.
There is peculiar element of TRACE
dy in the death OF this man, he being
the fourth OF his family to lose his
life beneath the wheels Of w. & A.
Train, and his death sewers the con-
nection of the Keudrick name with
this railroad which has continued un-
broken since his grandfather Lemuel
Kendrick helped to build it
Emmett Kendrick was a man who
was loved by all who knew him, and
he was especially the friend OF little
children. His death has caused wide
spread sorrow among the railroad en-
ployes and throughout Cobb County,
where he grew up and where his fami-
ly is so we'll known. The deepest
grief and sympathy are expressed for
the stricken wife and helpless little
children.

Origin of NeD Year Gifts

Like the customs of Christmas,
which, in their origin, are a curious
mixture of poetry and symbolism and
of superstition, those that belong to
the observance of New Years day are
also relics of ideas that date from
early heather ages. The French de-
rive their term for New Year pres
ents from the Latin word, Strenia,
the name of a goddess whom the Ro-
mans venerated as the patroness of
gifts. There was a grove in Rome
dedicated to this goddess, where it was
customary to get fresh twigs, to give
as presents to friends and relatives on
New Years day. During the sway of
the emperors, Roman subjects made
New Years gifts to their sovereign.
Augustus received such quantities of
these that he had gold and silver
statues made of them. Tiberius did
away with the usage, because he con-
sidered it too troublesome to express
thanks for the gifts. Caligula, ON the
contrary, reintroduced the custom, and
even made up for his predecessors re-
fusal to receive presents by requir-
ing those that had been offered to him
to be given to himself as arrearages.
The custom of making New Years
gifts, Notwithstanding attempts to sup.
press it, was continued after Europe
had become Christian. For time pres
ent making was transferred to Easter,
but later it was again aSSociatad with
the first day of January.

NEW JERSEYS FARMS AND EARN VALUES.

cTa HE census of agriculture in New Jersey makes a favorable
showing in respect to farm values and mortgage indebted
ness. The average debt of mortgaged farms decreased in
twenty years 24S per cent, while the average value of these farms
rose from $4S91 to $5,204, or ga per cent. In 1890 the aggregate
mortgage Indebtedness was 49.6 per cent. and in 1910 it was 351
per cent. Clearly the New Jersey farmer is much richer than ne
was. More thar onehalf of the 24,133 farms in New Jersey are
entirely free from mortgage Indebtedness. Four out of every five
farmers are nativeborn while only 1876 per cent. are fo%reign-born,
showing how little immigration has affected the farming popula-
ton of the State. There are only 46 negro farmers, although the
negro is a child of the soil in his Southern habitat and has made
remarkable progress there in agriculture and land propretorship.
More than onehalf of the total land area is in farms, but while in
the last decade the population was increased by 653,49S, or 34.7 per
cent, there was a decrease of 1163 farms and of 2671 100 acres in
farms, while the average size of farms decreased 81 acres. In the
aggregate, however, farm property of all kinds increased in value
$65,299 600, or 345 per cent. The increased value of farm products
is also to be considered. All farm property in New Jersey is now
rated at $254 $4,000. Twenty years ago it was valued at $135,
s42OO0.

DINNER STORIES.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Town Hall was packed and the
village audience followed the falr
young heroine's tribulations with
GREATNESS interest.
She was having a terrible time. In
the space of five short minutes she
was nearly run over by a mad horse,
bitten by a mad dog and drowned in
a mac mill race. She escaped these
things only to fall finally into the
hands of the Wanting villain.
The a dience strained forward as the
villain led her to a lonely cave and
cast her into the precence of a huge
gorilla.
"R-r-r-revenge at last!' muttered
the villain.
"Oh, what shall l do?" cried the
heroine, as the gorilla approached with
a malevolent gr1imace. "oh, what shall
l do?"
1t was too much. In a frenzy of ex-
element a man in the audience rose
from his seat, clapped his hands to
his mouth and shouted:
"Chuck him a nut, miss"
The late Judge ]. B.. Richardson, of
Massachusetts, whose recent death at
Ordway was attributed to intimidation,
had a great reputation on the bench for

TONS.
Judge Richardson said a Boston
lawyer, smiling ruefully, "once inter-
rupted me in what was, 1 confess, a too
long winded cross-examination, to tell
this story:
"A furniture van stood before a house,
he said, and a line of men staggered
out of the house with desks, bookcases,
sofas. melodeons and what not on their
heads.
"a passerby halted one of the men
and said:
"'Are the people here moving?'
"'No, SIR the man answered, We are
just taking the furniture out for a

state S~upervision for Plank Road.

State Supervision for Plank Road.
To tho Editor Of the Evening Star:
1t would be a good thing for the
merchants of this city and Jersey City
If the Plank road was placed under
State supervision, instead of being un-
der the joint jurisdiction of Hudson
and Essex counties. There are a num-
Der of persons who take part in the
supervision of the Plank road at pres
ent and when any trouble arises there
Is no responsible party who car give
relief or who can be blamed for the i'm
passable condition of the~road, such as
we now experience.
When all accounts of the trouble
have beer heard it appears that the
freeholders of Essex have at least tried
te~do their duty and bring about some
action to remedy the road. On the
other hand. it is not denied that the
Hudson ~freeholders, who are members
of the joint committee in charge of the
road, repeatedly refused to meet with
the Essex delegation. So, from all APP
p~earances, the Hudson ~freeholders are
largely to blame for the trouble. Even
were this phase of the matter thor
oughly threshed out and the blame
fixed on the guilty f%reeholders, it would
be no good to the merchants who are
clamoring for immediate relief.
In other words, county supervision of
the Plank road has proved a failure.
1t is well known that politics play an
important part in the actions of the
freeholders, and this to the detriment
of commerce, especially in Newark,
where the merchants have found the
road an important cog in the wheel of
Industrial progress.
Take the road away FROM the coun-
ties and the freeholders, who have
demonstrated hat they are not capable
of handling it. When the Legislature
has enacted a law which will place the
road under State supervision the public
will know that there is a State COM
mission in charge of the road and they
will know whom to look to in cases of
emergency. A. SHIPPER.

Professor William Wiener, the gov
eminent weather expert of this city,
has a rival in Fergus Mccarthy, of the
postoffice ~custodian's staff. Fergus has
the enviable reputation of being able
to prophesy as to coming weather with
a remarkable degree of accuracy. He
makes a daily trip to the top of the
~postoffice building and takes in the
situation.
Fergus does not carry any scientific
implements which help the modern
! prophet in his diagnosis of the weather,
and it is said on good authority that
he has no rheumatism or corns. Still,
if he says it is going to rain at a GER
tain distant hour, everybody in the
building accordingly gets out the rub
bers and umbrellas. Fergus can pre-
dict weather for several days in adj
vance. His associates have been try
ing to get an advance tip on the Christ
mas weather, but Fergus is holding out
for a few days.

any year he may leave school may be equipped with the means to
earn a living. The new school will open in February under most

THOSE ARBITRATION TREATIES.

I'D ROBABLY not one-half of the three score members of the

qualifedly indorsing the proposed arbitration treaties ever
read the text of the treaties, and yet the resolution passed presumes
10 instruct the United States Senate what to do with the treaties.
The foreign affairs committee of the Senate is composed of men
highly skilled in such matters. They have closely studied the
treaties, and, in common with most Of the senator's, pronounce them
perious to the national welfare. They have shown by the text
of the treaties that if they are adopted vital national policies would
be at the discretion of a board composed mostly of foreigners,
Such a tribunal might outlaw the Monroe Doctrine or nullify our
Asiatic exclusion laws, or even make valid the old Confederate bonds
or the negro government bonds of the Southern States. In these
matters we can better depend on the judgment of the able and ex7
perienced men in the Senate at Washington than on that indiher
emily expressed in a meeting of a commercial body which takes its
knowledge of the subject second hand.

ALL DEPENDS ON A SINGLE SENATOR.

I is a very good program that the Republican majority leaders
ii have laid out for themselves at Trenton-a session of eleven
weeks, with a short recess to have all bills disposed of before
final adjournment, a list of proposed bills to be advertised prior TO
the session and then passed in one, two, three order, and everything
going like clockwork. Was ever there anything like it at Trenton.
except, of course, in the index? There seems to be only one serious
snag, and that is the fact that any one of the eleven majority sena.
tors can kick the traces and wreck the program.
