Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
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 condi-
ton Of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube: When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumblins sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it Is entirely CLOSED.
Deafness is the result. and unless the in.
flammation 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 inlamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces. r.. Z; =

more eggs than any other bird ever

London, May 22.-An attempt by
miIitant suffragettes to present q
petition to King George at Bucking-
nam palace failed, but not until a
battle had been fought which for
aierceness surpassed any previous
militant demonstration.
At no time were more than 200
women engaged in the battle, while
opposed to them was o force Of
15O0 police.
"A small body. known because Of
their militant record as "gun wo-
smen," burst from private resi-
.tience and forced their way through
she archway at the top of Constltu-
sion hill before the small squad OF
police on duty there had time to
collect and resist them.
Headed by Mrs. Pankhurst and
Miss Sylvia Pankhurst the flying
squad of women swept down Con.
.stitution hill towards Buckingham
palace, but when half way along
they met the most hatred enemy OF
the militants in the person of In
Spector Riley, who has charge OF
the suffragette detail at the Scot
land Yard police headquarters.
The shock of the combat was
short and sharp and resulted in the
arrest Of many women, who, In the
lighting, used clubs with a facility
which betrayed long training.
The roadway had just been
Bprinkled with water and many
mounted policemen were thrown.
Eventually the strength of the po-
Iscemen told and in few minutes
more than 80 women, including Mrs.
Pankhurst, had been arrested.
One group, headed by Miss Sylvia
Rankhurst, reached point almost
across the drive from the palace,
where mounted police surrounded
the women and arrested Miss Syl-
via and several of her comrades.
The crowd at this point was so
dense that the attempts of the po-
1Ice to clear the drive were with
nut success until recourse was had
10 water sprinkling carts which
ruined many Of the costly gowns of
the fashionable women spectators
who had gathered to watch the ca
pected battle. This caused the
police to lose their popularity with

xnent had cheered them on.

The spirit Of mischief seized her un-

Napoleon Bonaparte was an active
member of the French Academy Of
Sciences; was elected a member in
1897. His appreciation of the impor-
tance of scientific research is illus
trated by the number of eminent
scientists he took with him on his ex-
pedition to Egypt, where he organized
the Institute of Egypt in Cairo and
proposed to establish an observatory.
His illustrated report of his investi-
cations on the antiquities Of Egypt
was the first step In Egyptian arch

had rolled towards the curb. The
wind sent 1t under the wheels Of q
passing truck, and 1t was crushed to
atoms.
The crowd laughed, passing messen-
ger boys ''yah-yahed!" observers at
the various office windows Uttered,
and the outside street was one broad
smile. The young man put his hand
to his head In an embarrassed way.
Then he darted through the open door

building.
Preciosa looked serious % she
drew back from the window, some
what ashamed, sincerely sorry. That

shown q seriousness not at all In ac-

Of clothes made the gentle hearted
miss wonder II she had mot acted un-
