Honesty In London.

Montenegro has a law %ordaininB
that any found valuable shall . be
placed where the loser can find It.
The fact suggests an anecdote told Of
Garibaldi's grandfather In Dickens
life of the famous clown. On one OF
his visits to Leadenhall market with
nearly $4,000 in gold and silver upon
him, h found that his shoe had be-
come unbuckled. and taking from his
pocket the bag, he placed 1t upon q
n~eighboring post, and then proceeded
to adjust his buckle" Having after
ward to pay for a purchase. he missed
his bag Of gold, and hurried back to
the post where he had buckled his
shoe. Although more than three
quarters of an hour had elapsed
. . there 1t remained safe and un-
touched on the top of a post In the
open street," That was in eighteenth
century London.

Younger men, who now sit in the

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by loral applications, as they can
not reach the dis ,ased 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 lining of the
Eustachiian Tubes. When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be forever
~troyed; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrn, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition
Of the mucous surfaces.

AWAY WITH CLASS HATRED

Perhaps there is no feeling more
subtle. more elusive, and more
difficult to eradicate from human
nature than the sense of super
iority."
In a hundred different ways it
manifests itself, and no class OF
society seems free from it.
The professional mans wife "con-
descends" to the g~rocer's wife,
the clerks wife patronizes the me-
chanic's if, the "charlady" louks
down on the "stepslady," and SO
it goes on.
Is it any matter for wonder, then,
that those who clothe themselves in
purple and fine linen. who fare
sumptuously every day who are
surrounded by ali the culture,
all the beauty and all the luxury
which modern civilization a pro-
vide find it hard to believe that a
common humanity binds them to a
people who dwell in novels, whose
hands are hegrimed and knotted
with barren years of soulless labor,
whose backs are bent beneath the
terrific burden imposed upon them
from their cradles, and who dwell
continuously in the company of the
grim spectors of disease and
poverty?
The gulf certainly seems almost
impossible hut it must be bridged
before any advance can be made in
the direction IF the abolition OF
class wal and class hatred.-Chicago
