MethuseIah Practiced Il.

Says Benjamin Franklin in his little
essay "On the Art of Procuring Pleas
ant Dreams"
ut is recorded that Methusalem. who
being the longest liver, may be sup
posed to have best preserved his health.
that he slept always in the open air.
for when he had lived 500 years an
angel said to him, Arise, Methusalem,
and build thee an house, for thou shalt
live 500 years longer. But Methusa-
lem answered and said: If l am to
live but 500 years longer, it is not
worth while to build me an house. l
will sleep in the air, as l have been
used to do"
This dialogue is not reported in the
fifth chapter of Genesis, to be sure,
but it is reproduced here out of respect
to Franklin as evidence that outdoor
sleeping is no fad. but wise return

Maine potatoes. Diseased foreign
potatoes, rushed into our market, i'm
mediately became serious menace,

culture ordered quarantine against

An Old-time Republican Vote.

An Old-time Republican Vote.
With the municipal election only
four days away, there is an unusual
calmness of the political atmosphere.
1t is the calmness of confidence on the
part of the republicans; the calmness
OF resignation to certain defeat on the
part of the democrats.
The confidence of the republicans
is not of that quality closely akin to
indifference which SO often leads to
unexpected defeat, but it is conf
dence born of the feeling of unity
and serious determination on the part
of the republican voters. 1t is the
feeling that will inevitably result in
rolling up an old-time republican vote
and republican majority in Ellsworth.

Women Card Sharps.

In the February American Magazine,
Hugh s. Fullerton begins series OF arti-
cles entitled "American Gambling and
Gamblers" On the subject of women
who are crooked bridge players, he says,
in part:
''Few women are good gamblers. They
are carried away and maddened by the
desire for gain, and bridge, coming as a
society game, reached them. 1t has de-
veloped-a class of female card sharps that
furnishes the police with new problem.
Chicago police have listed nearly two
score clubs where women sharpers, some
backed by men gamblers, loot their
victims. The police despair OF closing
them, as most of them operate under
charity guises.
ssThere are at least four Chicago women
who make profession of bridge, special
izing in posing as society women in order
to play at the larger summer and winter
resorts. The extent to which gambling
at bridge has spread among women is
alarming, but it is impossible to secure
statistics. There was suicide of a
Chicago man not long ago, after which it
was learned his wife had been losing from
one hundred dollars to fifteen hundred
dollars week for more than year in
friendly club"

is only one way to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have rum
bling sound imperfect hearing, and
when ii is entirely closed, deafness is the
result. aud unless the Inflammation can be
aken out and this tube restored to its normal

nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
