MUSIC IN WARFARE
Great Soldiers Of the Past Maintained
Absolute Need Of the Mar
tiai Strains.

The war between Russia and Japan
was regarded by many experts in
things military as having sealed the
fate of the martial drum. The Japan
ese armies moved from first to last
silently, save for the occasional blast
of a bugle. The drum was ~conspicu-
ously absent. Before that war it had
been abolished in some European
armies, but no great war had been
fought without 1t.
Napoleon was an ardent defender of
the drum, and he believed, with Mar
shall de SAKE, that great general of the
eighteenth century, that the measured
sound made by the drum and the fife
was indispensable to make men march
well. THE drum" the Corsican Is re-
ported to have said, initiates the can

contended that without the strains OF
music it was quite impossible for
troops to max successful charges.
Wanting music, he said, men would
come up ragged and open against the

drum is thoroughly musical. The com

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to 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 inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or impartial hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton ear be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing 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

developed social life.
Tn the prehistoric drawings that have
seen the women's hair is shown gathered
In large elliptic loops. hanging rather low
over the ears on each side OF the head
This simple style is also seen in modern
times, but 1t does not possess the dis
tinction of the more elaborate forms In
which the hair Is massed high upon the
head. and shaped into studied outlines
which often have an astonishing effect
upon the general aspect of the face and
figure.
In some savage tribes the art OF hair
dressing Is remarkably developed and II
seems a probable suggestion that, in some
cases hints have been taken from the
head feathers of birds. In former times
men strove to rival women in the matter
Of hair dressing. but generally as civiliza-
ton has progressed the art OF the Golf
fure has been devoted exclusively to the
service of the falrer sex, while men have
Invested themselves as much as possible
of hair as an ornament.
At the time when Christianity was in
troduced in the Roman empire fashion
able men wore long hair, and had II
curled and dressed deliberately, but st.
Paul openly and strongly preached
against this vanity, although he had no
word of condemnation for women who
wore their hair in graceful forms.
The prehistoric origin Of halrdressins
as an art is shown not merely by the
rude cavern paintings and drawings TO
which have referred. but also by the
great number of bone bodkins found on
the sites OF ancient human habitation,
many of which suggest by their form
ard aspect that they we're used TO pin
up the hair And, in word. there can
be little doubt that among the women.
at least, and perhaps among both sexes,
decoration of the head, by manipulation
of its natural covering, preceded deco
ration of the body. Among savage
tribes today It often happens that both
men and women are found with elab-
orately dressed hair while wearing little
Or no clothing.
