Horseshoe Pike.

Nearly every new person who travels the old Horseshoe pike stops to ask how the old road got its name. A for mer resident of Honeybrook explains that in the old days it was not custom ary to shoe horses because of the ex. pcnse, and on the farm or dirt roads nc shoes were needed. On this stone road however, a horse could not travel with. out shoes. and so it was called the Horseshoe pike because a horse must be shod before being driven there.- Philadelphia Record.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion or the ef :. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an fn- fiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Rustachfan Tube. When this tube is infamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

 Giants and Dwarfs.
 In the seventeenth century all the 'abnOrmally large and small folks of Austria were assembled in Vienna in response to a whim of the empress. As circumstances requirel that all should be housed in one building, there was n fear that the imposing proportions of the giants would terrify the dwarfs. But the dwarfs leased and tormented the giants so that these overgrown mortals complained with tears in their eyes, and as n consequence sentinels had to be placed to protect the giants from their pygmy prosecutors, for the s;Na!lct Ecn had the biggest brains anl the longest tongues.

 It seems, however, that we are mistaken Herman 1idder the New York staaszeitung is raising

 "Our treatment as a nation of Dr Denburg de- spicabe and un-Amercan, and we owe Dr. DernbuTe 2 debt it will be dGicu;t to repay" And speaking of the public resentment that stopped the unneutral activities led to his departure Let us by the size of the fund sgmauze this and similar actions intended to inaict suffering nocent people, unworthy of America"
 Perhaps perfectly proper to nnict suffering on innocent people when they happened to be the Lusana victims those victims friends and perfectly proper for Dr. Dernburg to gloat Anyhow, his compensa ton should be proportionate to his desers-whateyer they are.
