EAST INDIAN RUNNERS.
kahars Who Can Regularly Make a
Hundred Miles a Day.

Hundred Miles Day.
Ordinary Marathon races seem rath-
er insignificant compared with the
regular performances of a certain east
Indian caste. These Kahars. also
known as Jhinwarb. live in the Pun
jab. where for centuries they have
acted as runners, fishermen and water
fowl catchers.
The men are trained runners and are
said to be able to go a hundred miles a
day without resting. According to
Baily's Magazine. there is a we'll au-
thenticated instance that Tika Ram.
the son of Lalu Ram. carried dis
patches 300 miles in three days-from
Mean-Mir to Meerut
The point discussed. however, Is
whether the normal eXertions Of the
Kahar post runners and the similar ex-
ertions Of jinrikisha men shortened
their lives, and it appears that the Ka-
hairs, trained from childhood to be dis
lance runners, live to be old men. They
are not only able to withstand the
strain Of running great distances I'M
der heavy load. but thrive under it.
The jinrikisha man, too, notwith-
standing his irregular diet, excessive
use of liquor and exposure to the ele-
ments, lives to a reasonable age. In
Tokyo when census was taken of the
jinrikisha men few years ago there
were found to be more than 1900 who
were over ffty-fve years of age.

BASEBALL SIGNS.
Their Importance Is Much Greater
Than Their Number.


Among the players we do not use the
word signal" With US it is sign"
There are not as many signs" used on
ball club as the public would believe
OF course the catcher must sign" the
pitcher for every ball that he throws.
That is to prevent confusion or. as we
say. to keep from crossing each
other" The catcher has a sign for a
curve ball, fast ball and slow one.
To ball players all curve balls. such
as the drop and the outcurve. are call
ed "a curve" The catcher gives the
same sign for any one of them. We
do not call a ball that jumps lin" a
curve. Ball players do not recognize
Any ball thrown by a right handed
pitcher with sufficient speed will jump
inward to slight degree. The out
curve and drop are unnatural curves
and the ball must be spun in an I'M
natural manner to get that peculiar
break"
The only other sign of Importance
is the one the batter gives to the run
ner when he intends to hit the ball. If
he wants the runner to start as he
swings tthe hit and run play he gives
him certain sign There are any
number of signs used for this play.
Sometimes the batter gives it by rub

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 constltu-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by au
infiamed condition of the muscous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intlamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it 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 Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catalrh) that can
not be cured by Halls CatalTh Cure. Send for
