French Matches.


What is the explanation Of the
French match? Well, on every box
there Is printed the legend, "Manufac-
lures Of State; Contributions Indirect"
While you are struggling with the
French match you are paying taxes.
1 do not know the exact amount Of
the revenue raised by the French
match, but a French friend assures
me that the atrocious badness Of
French matches is due to the determi-
nation of the government to compel
smokers to use ten matches instead of
one There was once a contractor who
secured the contract for making the
state matches. He was conscien-
tious contractor. He made good
matches. He made matches that
struck on the box. In consequence
the revenue fell off. The government
was enraged. They warned the con
tractor that his contract would be can
celed unless he forthwith lowered the
quality Of his matches. According to
my friend, the object of the contractor
now is to make matches SO vile that
the whole population of France is
forced to spend half it's time trying to
make them burn.-London Opinion.

CLTRRRH CANNOT Be CuIED

by local applications, ss they can
not 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 Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed 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 inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

If that is the case. the king per-
formed notable service for the
English people, but spoiled much
enjoyment for the rest of the
world. 1t is said that Aus;in's
suppressed poem was couched in
terms of such fulsomc praise of
their majesties that it was con-
sidered ridiculous. That is hard
to believe. The English people go
to such extremes Of royal adula-
ton that it seems impossible any
ode could be too complimentary.
Perhaps Austin has lost his job.
That would be indeed sad blow
to Austin Still, the world
might manage to rack along for a
few more cons without British

cussion does not solve the original
question. What happened to the
ode? Did George, after hearing
it,, compel Alfred to eat it?

WHERE IS THE ODE?

Over Great Britain hangs a deep
cloud of mystery, and from st.
James place to the most remote OF
his majesty's colonies one question
l. on every British lip. It is
whispered over west end teacups
and bowled in Bombay. What
become of the coronation ode?
That is the thing which every
loyal subject wants to know. for
the ode was due as a liked and
hist oric part Of the g:'cat
ceremony of royal exultntion, anu
when 1t failed to appear it
brought notional wotdcr ami
disappointment.
Americans will share the con-
Germ Of our British couSins over
the fate of the ode. We had
looked forward to this as the
supreme opportunity of Sir Alfred
.Austin's career. 1t is not every
laureate who has a chance to
figure in grand double bill
coronation, and we had supposed
this muse for months in prepare
ton for sublime flight into
poetic ecstasies. But tie corona.
ton was pulled off without the
sign of an ode, and there Is not a
word Of explanation 80 tt why this
was so.
For our own part we must con-
fess that our disappointment is not
so poignant as to cause acute
suffering. In his past performances
Austin has not built up an undJ ing
reputation as an over;hadowiDg
genius. The odes mostly have
Geen sorry disnppointmemts from
q literary standpoint. J. was as
much curiosity as anything else
that has prompted our own
Interest in the promised master
piece. We wondered just how bad
Austin could write. On other
occasions he has ,lobbered
pitifully. and under the stress
Of the supreme dem and upon his
genius we had expect ed the worst
ever.
There are rumors that Austin
did write an ode, but that It was
so bad King George would not
stand for It, and it was suppressed.
