Hall’s Catarrh Cute is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu- tional disease requires a constitutional treatment, Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surtaces of the sys- tem, thereby destroving the foundation ot the disease, and giying the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

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 causen by an inflammable condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you havea rumbling sound ar imperfect hearin: and when it is entirely closed deaf- ness is the result, and unless the in- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by eatarrh, which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucous sur- faces.

Then there was Krook, the “lord chancellor” in ‘Bleak House,” who went off this earthly stage by sponta- neous combustion. Dickens might well be excused for falling into an error which was at that time commonly be- lieved in by people who ought to have known better. Bulwer Lytton went in fot medical marvels in “Zanoni,” but as he wasa student of mystic lore, and actually learned magic froma professed thau- maturgist, the Abbe Constant, his won- ders were attributable not so much to his ignorance of medical science, as to were seated under aj} large palmetto tree enjoying the pleas- tlesnake creep slowly and cautiously out from a brush heap and coil himself with head in the air and turned toward the party asif tosay: ‘Here I am.” One gentleman seized a club, but the others persuaded him to delay his attack and watch the reptile for awhile and see what it would do. They hada chance to size up the stranger, who was about six feet long and of a grayish striped color. In a few minutes the blacksnake was seen to appear from under the crib fifty feet distant and move slowly toward the rattlesnake. “Now for a fight,” said Mr Bert |his belief in the elixir of life and the Walker, andthe party drew back to mutation of metals. give the reptiles a full show. Noise- e Collins made a specialty of his lessly came the big black fellow, carry- ing his head high in the air and oeca- sionally dropping it, apparently study- ing the ground around which he was to make the attack. It was plainly evi- dent that the blacksnake wanted to fight. When within twenty feet of the other creature he stopped, raised his head and the rattlesnake saw him for the first time. The ground between them was clear, not a-stick or a stone being noticed for many yards. ‘The rattlesrake raised his head and threw out his tongue and seemed to be prepared for an encounter. They really reminded one of a couple of des- perate men just entering the arena for afight to the death. Presently the black champion started on a circle around his prey, getting nearer to the rattler every minute. The rattler never took his eye from his approaching enemy and his head going round re- minded the looker-on of the movements of acorkscrew. When within six feet of the rattler the black fellow flew around so fast that you could hardly tell what it was. It was like taking a a string tied toa stick and twirling it with all one’s might. Suddenly the two came together and immediately became entwined about each other, roll- ing over and over in the dust. This lasted fully five minutes. Then there was a lull and the blacksnake was seen to have his adversary by the throat with his mouth. His body was twisted about the rattler’s body, and every few seconds he would give a squeeze that sent the rattler so much further toward his. end. In ten minutes the black hero dropped the body of his victim, blew himself up, took one last look and then slewly wound off into the brush. It was arare and remarkable scene and_thoroughly enjoyed by all the ‘party. One of the gentlemen raised up the dead rattler on a stick and found that he was terribly gashed and mangled.

The poets are, if possible, even worse offenders in the matter of their death scenes than the novelists. A man pulls a two-drachm vial of some poison from his breast, swallows the contents, proceeds to make a two- hundred-line speech without a pang or a gasp, staggers gracefully backwards to a conveniently placed seat, drops upon it, claps the region of the heart with both hands, and dies after a little convulsive movement of the legs. Heart disease, too, carried off heroines in a fashion quite unknown to doctors, and, although it is of the variety known as ‘‘broken heart,” has characteristics which must not be generally associated with fracture of so important an organ. FAMOUS TROTTERS’ EARLY LIFE. Many of the Most Noted Were Discovered by Accident. It isa remarkable fact that many of the most famous horses of the trotting turf were not appreciated until after they had arrived at maturity. With a great many the trotting quality was discovered by accident. It is on record, says the Newark Sunday Call, that Flora Temple was once sold for thirteen dollars, and the great mare Princess, dam of Happy Medium, brought her breeder about forty dollars. Tacony pulled a stage and Mack likewise. Ab- dallah I. would have been made to haul a fish cart had not his lofty spirit re- belled at the indignity. Billy Button was used as arunner to force the pace of Peralto. Goldsraith Maid was once sold for one hundred dollars. and the dam of Ethan Allen was sold at the age of ten for thirty-five dollars. Dutch- man worked in a brickyard; so did Old Columbus, and Andrew Jackson was foaled in one. Charlie B. was used to haul stone up from a quarry by derrick and pulley. Godolphin Arabian drew a watering cart in the streets of Paris; Justin Morgan was long a wheel horse in Vermont. The grandam of Monbars did farm drudgery. The dam of Billy Button hauled garden truck .to market and pulled a milk wagon alternately. Gif- ford Morgan drew slabs from a sawmill and at one time was sold for one hun- dred dollars. The dam of Flying Mor- gan used to peddle woodware. Thesire of Rarus was worked to a ‘butcher's cart, and it is said that the dam of Black Hawk also drew a butcher's cart. The first authentic account of Old Pilot places him in the hands of a Yankee peddler in New Orleans. The dam of Lady Griswold was used by a patent medicine vender. The dam of Green Mountain Morgan ground apples in a cider mill. The dam of Taggert’s Ab- dallah drew the wagon of a tin peddler. It is very easy to account for the Mor- gans being put toa somewhat* menial service. They were strong, hardy and speedy. They would work anywhere, and their descendants will to this day. No road is too long for them, and no reasonable load too heavy. SIX MILES A MINUTE. Ap Earthquake Wave Once Crossed the Pacific Ocean In Twelve Hours. People are apt to indulge in appre- hensions about the movements of waves of the ocean which are erratic, born perhaps of illusionary influences. Everyone has noticed the action of the wind on a field of corn and seen the un- dulations caused by its crossing the field in a few seconds; but no one sup- poses that a single stock has left its place. As with the corn wave, says the Brooklyn Eagle, so with the water wave; the substance remains rising and falling in the same place, while it is only the form that moves. The speed of this movement depends on the speed of the wind. When a gentle breeze is blowing the friction between the at- mosphere and the water is small, and only a slight ripple is produced; but should the velocity of the wind in- crease the ripples become waves or even billows, mountains of water, moving at a tremendous speed. The ripple or slow undulation may move at a velocity varying from three or four to eight or nine miles per hour,.and, increasing in size to a wave of greater or less propor- tions, may have a speed of from ten to fifteen or twenty miles per hour. In a gale the rate increases to twenty-five or thirty, and during storms has been es- timated at thirty, thirty-five and even forty miles per hour. This latter speed is exceptionally great and far exceeds the average. Waves which have re- sulted from earthquake shocks have traversed the ocean at a speed which is almost incredible. For instance, the great earthquake which occurred at Samoda, in Japan, caused a wave which traveled across the Pacific from that country to San Francisco, a @istance of nearly five thousand miles, in not much more than twelve hours—that is to say, it raced across the ocean at a rate of about six and a half miles per minute. The self-acting tide gauges at San Francisco which recorded the arrival of this great wave rendered it quite cer- tain that this was the actual rate of -progress. Then again, the tidal wave which passes over the ocean twice daily travels in places at an enormous speed. It has been estimated that if the seasof the world consisted of one uniform sheet of water the tidal wave would traverse them at the rate of one thou- sand miles per hour. As a matter of fact it does proceed at something like half this pace across the Pacific and At- lantic oceans. The intervention of con- tinents, islands and shallows, however, reduces the speed in places to not more than forty or fifty miles per hour. Dog and Canary. The London Spectator says that a lady living near London had a pet canary, while her brother was the owner ofa fine retriever who was also much petted. One day the canary escaped from the house but was seen flying about the grounds for a few days, perching always on high elm trees. All efforts to call it were unavailing and at last it disappeared and was given up as lost or dead. A few days later the re- triever was seen running toward the house with the canary in its mouth, car- rying it most delicately.. Thedog went straight to the owner of the bird and delivered it into her hands without even the feathers being injured, and then, while she praised and petted him, the intelligent animal stood by and wagged his tail in a way to express his satisfac- tion at the result of his deed. Original Theory of Education. Count de Lesseps has always had the- orieson the education of children. . Part of his success in the Suez canal was due tothe help of Abbas Pasha, who had = a pupil of the count. Abbas was fat and luxury-loving boy, but more than ordinary intelligence. At the end of the first month of De Les- seps’ direction of his education his tutor with some pride brought in the boy’s reports. ‘‘Do not bring me reports of lessons,” De Lesseps said, “but his weight. Idesire you to weigh him at the beginning of every month! If he hag gained in flesh punish him. And see that it does not happen again.” | money “WHY HIS NERVE FAILED. The Burglar Restrained from Commit- ting Crime by the “OQo-o-o" of a Baby. The burglar was not a bad-looking man, although his business had a bad look, says the Detroit Free Press. He stood by the door of a sleeping room and peered in. A faint light was burn- ing and he could hear the measured breathing of some « asleep. Cau- tiously he crept inside, stooping low and looking around. No one there save a sleeping woman. Inan instant acloth saturated with ether was thrown over her face and he waited one, two, three —ten minutes, and the stentorous breathing of the sleeper told him the drug was doing its work. With a dex- terous hand he seized the jewelry and ugon the dressing case and began a quick search in the drawers of the case. “Oo-00." came a voice from the shadow of the room. Quick as a flash the burglar clutched h nife and turned to meet his victim. No one was visible. “Oo-00," came the | voice tin. and the burglar sawa child | in itserib by the foot of the bed. It | was a pretty baby, sleepily holding up | itshands tohim. HHelet the knife fall to his side. and, stepping over to the erib, touched the child. It cooec softly, and held up its arms for him to | take it. The impulse was beyond his | control, and he lifted the baby to his | bosom, and it nestled its soft, white | cheek down to his and put its white arm around his p He purred to it, and ina moment its cur! iy head was laid against his face, and it was asleep again. ‘Never seen a kid like that,” he whispered to himself. *‘Most of “um is afraid of stranger and tenderly he laid it in the crib. Then he went back tothe dressing case. He stood still a moment and then looked furtively over his shoulder toward the crib. The sleeping face of the child was turned toward him. Slowly he replaced on the case all he had taken from it, hastily snatched from the woman's face the saturated cloth, opened a win- dow near the bed and quietly slipped downstairs. Once on the street again he looked upat the hungrily.. “Dang it,” he grow man that ain't got no more gi: ought to get out of the business.” And he disappeared into the shadows of tie night. FAST SKATING e IN HOLLAND. The Dutchman Doesn't Look Handsome, But He Goes a Lively Gait. The average Dutchman of the south, though he can skate very well, looks rather foolish on the ice. His short legs and wide breeches are admirable ad- juncts to his nose, his thin, cocked beard and the lumpishness of his ex- pression, says Chambers’ Journal. To be sure, this breadth makes him look important, but if he were less muscu- lar it would be a sad hindrance to him in battling with the wind, which in win- ter is apt to make skating in one ¢ rection something of a trial. The Fries- lander, however, is taller, better pro- portioned and in all respects a hand- some fellow. The yellow beard he some- times wears seems to put him at once on a footing of affinity with the other members of that respectable Anglo- Saxon family to which we ourselves be- long quite as much as his provincial speech and his blue eyes. He is a most masterful creature when once he has put on those quaint, old-fashioned skates of his, and thinks nothing of making a score of miles from one vil- lage to another before you and I are out of bed. As for the cold, what cares he for it? He knows he must rely on that lusty circulation of his to keep him from being benumbed, though he clothe ever so lightly, and seems more regardful for his head—which a seal- skin cap takes care of—than of his well-shaped body.

OFFICES ODDLY WON. The Applicants Attracted Notice by Doing Eccentric Things. “People sometimes obtain work from Uncle Sam in peculiar ways,” says the San Francisco Argonaut. “Not so very long ago a poetess of fashion in a far western state became an office-seeker, adopting a novel method of pursuing her object. She appealed to a United States senator, bombarding him with poetry by mail. Once a week regularly he received from her a long letter in the shape of a paem. Sometimes he got twoa week. The poetry was probably the worst that any poetess of passion has ever produced. “At first he paid no attention to it; but at length it began to prey upon his mind. When this sort of thing had gone on for five or six months he be- came desperate. So finally he wrote to her, saying: ‘Your poems have proved to me that you are unfit ior any public office. Nevertheless, if you will cease writing and sending them to me I will get you a job. And hedid.
