Deafness Cannot Be Cared
liv lopil vrnillnitlons ns thev cannot reach thfi
1 diseased portion of the ear There Is only one
way to euro Deafness and that Is by constitu
tional remedies Deafness Is caused by an in
flamed condition of tho mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when It Is entirely closed Deafness Is
the result and unless the inflammation can bo
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness caused by catarrh that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure Send for

Deal Children Learn Music
An interesting work with deaf chil
dren is being done under the direction
of the supervisor of music in the De
troit public schools A class from
which the best results are obtained
consists of about six pupils The chil
dren gather around a piano resting
their hands and in some cases their
arms upon the instrument Soon after
a piece is started the children will be
gin to count in correct time with the
music catching the accentuation of
beats through the vibration of the
wood Occasionally a child would
seem to progress beyond the mere re
sponse to time and count aloud with
some approximation to tune
When this fact was observed by the
teacher the pupils were told to repeat
the words baby baby over and over
and at the same time a lullaby was
played on the piano In a short time
it was noticed that nearly all the chil
dren with whom the experiment was
tried indicated the air with more or
less distinctness Still another experi
ment was tried by singing the scale
into the ear of a boy and playing it on
the piano After a few trials the pu
pil was able to sound the notes as well
as could many children with unimpair
ed hearing These tests seem to indi
cate that singing with some degree of
accuracy may be taught to most deaf
children If such proves the fact a
new pleasure and a new educative in
fluence will come into their lives Buf

Porcupine Fighting a Snake
Several years ago I was an inter
ested spectator at a combat between
a hedgehog and a huge blacksnake
said W D Ingraham of Memphis I
came upon the scene just as the hedge
hog began the attack upon the snake
which was lying out on the road asleep
The hog advanced cautiously upon the
reptile and seized its tail in its mouth
giving a sharp bite Then he quickly
withdrew a few feet and rolling him
self into a compact spiny ball await
ed developments The snake upon
being thus rudely awakened turned in
fury on its antagonist striking the hog
again and again with its fangs The
wily hedgehog securely intrenched
within its spiny armor remained per
fectly motionless all the while allow
ing the snake to keep up the attack
At every stroke the jaws of the snake
would become filled with the spines
until at last exhausted and bleeding
from dozens of wounds caused by the
needle like spines of tne hog the snake
gave up the battle This was evidently
what the hedgehog was waiting for
as he immediately proceeded to roll
over the snake again and again until
he had completely disemboweled his
victim St Louis Globe Democrat

HEARD WHEN LIGHT WENT OUT
Strange Observations in a Church Ves
tibule When the Dynamo Quit
lie other night in a Maine village the
dynamo at the electric light station had
a fit all of a sudden and there was
darkness on the face of the land for a
Uttle while
A prayer meeting was in progress in
the vestry of the Methodist church
When the lights went out all the peo
ple sat quiet thinking that in all prob
ability the current would flash back
again right away
All at once there were voices in the
vestibule Two young men had come
In and were talking
This Is d d funny quoth one of
them profanely Why I didnt know
It was anywhere near time for meeting
to be over That minister Is getting
lazy I told Gertie Id be here at the
door when meeting let out Shell be
mad and between me and you I dont
care if she Is You never saw such a
girl as she is never Wants to go to all
the shows that come along and even
went down and inquired of the jeweler
how much the bracelet was worth that
I gave her for Christmas
Shes getting altogether too fresh
thats what she is There are other
pancakes on the fire dont you forget
that
Well I dont suppose there is any
need of waiting round here remarked
the other young man in robust tones
Gome along up to my room with me
I can furnish something more enter
taining than walking home with a girl
Ive got a bottle of Scotch whisky and
you take a little hot water and
Just then the lights flashed on in the
vestry and the people within in order
to drown out the conversation that was
rapidly destroying the devotional spirit
of the assembly struck up Sinner Oh
Sinner Turn from Thy Ways
And before the chorus was reached
there was the rapid creak of shoes on
the snowy walk outside and two
prominent young men of the village
retreated to think it over Lewiston

When Charles Reade was at Oxford
he was not always from a proctors
point of view a pattern for others to
be guided by One night he and a com
panion being without cap and gown
were chased by the bull dogs Being
fleet of foot they soon reached their
respective colleges His chum was able
to square the porter at Queens and
passed in but there was no such luck
for Reade when he arrived at Magda
len Being a young man of resources
he was not to be easily caught and
looking about him in the moonlight
he spied a ladder Planting this under
his chamber window he was soon in
his own rooms But the tell tale ladder
remained behind so he managed to
drag it up after him He always car
ried a capital sportsmans knife which
would saw as well as cut and with It
he began to convert the ladder into
fuel When his friend from Queens
called in the morning to see how it
fared with Reade he was told I shall
be all right directly old man for Ive
been up all night burning the ladder
and I have just put the last bit of the
blessed thing on the fire

How a Little Boy Was Saved
Washington D C When our boy
was about 1C months old he broke out
with a rash which was thought to be
measles In a few days he had a swell
ing on the left side of his neck and it
was decided to be mumps He was5
given medical attendance for about
three weeks when the doctor said it
was scrofula and ordered a salve He
wanted to lance the sore but I would
not let him and continued giving him
medicine for about four months when
the bunch broke in two places and be
came a running sore Three doctors said
It was scrofula and each ordered a
blood medicine A neighbor told me of
a case somewhat like our babys which
was cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla I de
cided to give it to my boy and in a
short vhile his health Improved and his
neck healed so nicely that I stopped giv
ing him the medicine The sore broke out
again however whereupon I again gave
him Hoods Sarsaparilla and its persist
ent use has accomplished a complete
