CHILDREN A RECENT FIND
Not Before the Nineteenth Century
Were They .TrushfuIIy Portrayed
In Literature.

Children were only found yesterday.
Before the nineteenth century the
child mind and the child heart were
not supposed to have enough In them
to interest the majestic adzst. It is
true that you find delightful baby In
Homer; that In Virgil there is the
prettiest glimpse Of little girl, and up
and down in the classics you may
meet half dozen other pleasant
shadows of children. But they are
only shadows, only ct the most charm
ing pictures. They give you much

had interest enough-onIy what a
shild looks like, the pretty weakness.
the instinct for play, the naive ges.
ture and movement. Not till the re-
turn to nature" not till the spirit OF
end Of the eighteenth century, do you
find poets beginning to tell OF the
thought and faith in q chiid's mind,
the mysteries of the child's heart. the
fancies that are dreams and the fam
cies that are visions. You may think
that they have gone too far, that they
read into childhood the laborious phil
Osophizing and sometimes the labored
sentimentality OF the adult. But no
one who loves children will deny that
the best of the children in nineteenth
century books have a far richer real

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one waysto cure deaf
ness, 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 inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

lars, free.

STORY OF A CHURCH.
Curious Hiatsry Of IN Unfinished Edi.
fee In England.

Curious Hiatery Of an Unfinishsd Edi.
fee In England.
There Is a curious history regarding
an unfinished church which stands at
Hassall. near Sandbach. England. A
former resident at the local hall. Mr..
Lowndes. painfully conscious of the
lack of provision for the spiritual wants
OF the people in the neighborhood. de-
termined to build a church at his own
expense. After carefully choosing q
site he gave instructions for the erec-
ton of structure IN the modern style
capable OF seating 400 or 500 persons.
Work on it was begun In the sum-
mer of 1886 and was pushed on stead
lily until the day on which Queen Vic
toria was crowned. by which time the
building was well advanced. The
crypts, about ten In number. had been
put in, the walls and roofs were COM
plete. and the scantlings for the door
were fxed. Indeed. partly In conse-
quence of the national rejoicings and
partly to celebrate the progress which
had been made. the building was
smothered in fags and decorations and
was the center Of local festivities.
Next day Mr.. Lowndes was seized
with an Illness which quickly proved
fatal. and with his passing all work
on the church ceased. Though the
building could have been finished at
comparatively small cost. it was aban-
doned. and IL has not been used since.

ever, to the writer a day or so after
date of this more or less important
publication. that the fountain now had

Mr.. Hollarn further stated that it
cost the city over one hundred dollars
to install this gift from the local or
ganiZation, as special water connec-
lions, etc, had to be made and that
the city, in fact, had done the best it
could with the fountain.
On the other hand certain members
of the organization deplored the APP

was not at all what the organization

chagrined that it did not accord with
the plans submitted them and from
which they ordered.
