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 inflamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube, When this tube is iuflamed you have a rumbling sound or i'nperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the resnit, and unless the inflammation can be tal.er out and this tube restored to its norm tl condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine out of ten cases are caused by Catarrh, which is noth- ing but an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness lcaused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Warming the Devil.

An almost incredible case of super stition is reported from Rihal, near Grosswordein, Hungary. The place has never before experienced an earth quake, but recently a series of vio- lent shocks shook the neighborhood some being so violent that the church bells rang. The villagers were great ly alarmed and consulted an old wom- an quack of the place, who declared that the shocks were the groans of the devil, who suffered cold and hung CT. Thereupon the peasants threw a number of calves and goats into a chasm outside the village to appease the devils hunger and set fire to the bishops forest in the neighborhood to provide him with warmth. The quack and several peasants have been ar rested.

MILK IN THE CocoANUT
Delusion That Fluid Has Anything in Common With Real Milk
 Dissipated.

Probably everybody has wondered at times what kind of stuff the milk" of the cocoanut is. One inducement generally held out by the dealer to the prospective purchaser is that the nuts are 'all milky" Recent analysis, however, have dissipated the delusion that the fluid has any thing in common with real milk. It contains only four per cent. of solids. consisting chiefly of sugars 2.S per cent, the balance being made up of mineral matter and tartaric acid.
 More than half of the sugar pres ent is mannitol, the sweet principle of mama which is sometimes found also in wine as 8 product of normal grape sugar. The question has been discussed as to whether 1t would be profitable to extract the cocoanut wa ter for the sake of its cane sugar, but as this amounts to only one-tenth per cent. the process would not be commercially successful, in spite of the water being a waste product. Even if the water contained five per cent of sugar, as some specimens appear to have shown, the recovery of this amount would be unprofitable The juice of the sugar cane yields nearly 20 per cent. of sugar.

Origin of FireWater.

When the Hudson's Bay Trading company began its trading among the Indians it was found that by selling the Indians liquor they could more easily be induced to trade their pelt- ries.
 The first whisky or intoxicant of in ferior quality was distilled in England and brought to America in large bar rels, but in transporting it overland it was found more convenient to divide it into small kegs. The traders soon became aware of the fact that by diluting the whisky with water more furs could be obtained. This was prac- tised for some time, but the Indians learned that good whisky poured on fire would cause it to flame up, where as had the whisky been diluted the fire would be quenched. It was by this simple experiment that the term "firewater" became a common word among Indians.
 A chief who had experienced the bad effects of whisky among his peo- pie said it was most certainly distilled from the hearts of wildcats and the tongues of women from the effects it produced.-Red Man.

She Played the Green.

The attache of a European embas- sy was very much attracted by a western girl of great beauty and still greater wealth at a summer resort, and in order to interest her deeply he fell into the habit of discoursing at length on his family tree and telling her that ancestry was of great value to man.
 The girl from the west had been brought up in a section of the country where every man was accepted for what he was, and not because of what his ancestors had been or done. She began to be bored by the attaches lectures on pedigree.
 Blue blood" he remarked one day, 'is something not everybody can boast of"
 "Oh, yes," she agreed indifferently; "but what's the use of blue blood if you haven't got the long green?"- Popular Magazine.

Night.

Along the high-hedged lane John Strong swung, the June gloaming deepening into night He loved to shove his face into the night; he gloried in the uncertainty of night, the indefiniteness of night, and his soul cried back a wild answer to the cry of the nighthawk and the owl. Night is more primitive than day, night is more calamitous, night is a savage, night everywhere Is the true sborigine. Day has taken on civiliza- tion; night hurls the world back to the day of. the war-club, the flint ar rowhead, the painted visage. John Strong loved the night with an al most malevolent love. In the night he could hear the Valkyries scream ing, the witches riding their broom sticks. the ghouls scraping the mold from eff the new-huried coffin. John Strong swung along, his face set to meet oncoming night.-Adventure.

THE POT AND THE KETTLE
In Train Results In Much Em- barrassment.

She was not accustomed to travelling alone, and when a strange man took the seat beside her in the day coach she was annoyed, especially as there were other vacant seats which he might have chosen. To make the matter more unpleasant the train sud denly shot into a tunnel Hastily the young woman remembered that in the big, square pocket of her coat, on the side next the stranger, was her purse
 Agitatedly she thrust her hand down into the pocket to make sure her purse was still there. Not moment too soon. To her horror she felt the strangers hand slip softly down into her pocket, and in an instant his hand had closed over hers. She suppressed a terrified desire to leap up and scream. What was the use of making a disturbance in a tunnel? People would only grin, and imagine all sorts of things. Of course he was only a common thief, and so soon as the light of day was again turned on him he would withdraw his hand She then could take another seat, and not draw to herself the attention of the other passengers As the thoughts and plans were flashing through her mind the train emerged from the tunnel, and the stranger turned on her a slow, down in the pocket of his overcoat.

MAKING OF PLAYING CARDS
Supposed to Have Been Invented for Amusement of Deranged King
 of France.

The invention of playing cards has been variously attributed to the Chi nese, Hindoos, Arabians and Romans, but cards as now used were invented by Jacques Grirgonneur, a painter, in Paris, in the fourteenth century. They for the amusement of Charles VI. of France, who was deranged. The French had particular names for the 12 court cards. The four kings were David. Alexander, Caesar and Charles; the four queens, Argine, Esther, Ju- dith and Pallas; the four knaves or knights, Ogier the Dane, Lancelot, La Hire and Hector de Garland.
 Cards seem originally to have been brought to England from Spain, prob ably having been introduced into that country by the Moors. The clubs, in Spanish, were not trefoils, as with us, but cudgels. i. e, "bastos," and the spades or swords, "espadas." Cards at first were stamped from wood blocks in outline and filled in by hand, but after the invention of engraving the best artists engraved them on copper and struck them off at once. "Colum- pines" were spades, rabbits clubs; "pinks," diamonds, and roses, :" hearts. Human figures, opposed to those of flowers and animals, were the ancestors of court cards.

SEAL RELIC OF ANTIQUITY
X Very Small Thing to Which Great Importance Is Some
 times Given.

most absurd thing connected with legal business is the little piece of red, green or blue paper or daub of sealing wax which we often place at the end of a signature to deed, will or other important document.
 It is very small thing in size, but one to which a great deal of i'm portance is frequently given. It is relic of antiquity, and no plausible excuse can be invented for continuing its use.
 Some of the more progressive states have practically abolished it's use by legislation. which deprives it of any technical legal significance. In others, however, it is still used with all seri. ousness and solemnity, and an almost magical value is given to it by digni- fed judges that is little less than ridiculous.
 A man died years ago leaving part of his estate to another to enjoy while he lived, with the privilege of devis- ing it at his death to others whom he might select by a writing under his hand and seal" A writing was exc cuted so devising the property, but it was contested by others claiming the property upon the technical ground that the paper contained no seal after the signature, and the de wise was therefore void.
 A wise Philadelphia judge closely scrutinized the signature and after carefully listening to the arguments of lawyers decided that at the end of the signature there was an extra scroll or flourish made with the pen with which the signature was made and that this was sufficient in law to constitute a seal.

What She Missed.

"Is there anything worse," sighed the pretty girl. than to be hungry and remember all the good things to eat you might have had but left on some other occasion? The other day I was at the swellest reception I ever attended, and the things to eat were simply heavenly. l will confess I did justice to everything that was hand ed me, but somehow 1 didn't get any of the rolled sandwiches with water cress in the middle, or any of the de- licious marrons glace. And, oh, the times since then that I have wanted one of those appetizing sandwiches. and that my mouth has watered for those marrons! And today for lunch I had to eat corned beef hash.'

LITTLE BROUGHT BACK.
Man Charged With Embezzlement
Arrested in Michipan.

William r. Little, who was arrested
while working at his trade Of blacksmith
in a small town near Grand Rapids,
Mich, was brought back to Washington
today to answer a charge of embezzle-
ment.
Several weeks ago Inspector Boardman,
chief of detectives, received word that
Little had been arrested. Detective How
lett went to the Michigan city and
brought him here today.
Little is charged with selling two horses
belonging to Joseph Richardson. a local
builder. for $12j and appropriating the
money to his own use. He later left the
city. Detectives Hewlett and Pratt were
assigned to the case. They say that after
investigating several clews they received
information that Little had been in De-
troit, Mich. The trail was taken up from
there and Little was located.
