THE MORNING CALL. Vol. X. No. 124. SOCIAL SALAD ■ PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR SUNDAY’S CALL. A LETTER. Dear, I tried to write you such a letter As would tell you all my heart today. Written Love is poor; one word were bet ter ! Easier, too, a thousand times to say. I can tell you all; fears, doubts unheed ing. While I can be near you, hold your hand, Looking right into your eyes and reading Reassurance that you understand. Yet I wrote it through, then lingered, thinking Os its reaching you—what honor, what day, Till I felt my heart and courage sinking With a strange, new, wondering dis may. “Will my letter fall,” I wondered, sadly, “On her mood like some discordant tone, Or be welcomed tenderly and gladly ? Will she be with others, or alone ? It may find her too absorbed to read it, Save with hurried glance and careless air; • Sad and weary, she may scarcely heed it; i Gay and happy, she may hardly care. If perhaps now, while my tears are fall- 1 ing, 1 She is dreaming quietly alone, I She will hear my love’s lar echo calling, I Feel my spirit drawing near her own. Wondering at the strange, mysterious 1 power i That has touched her heart, then she I will say: “Some one whom 1 love this very hour Thinks of me, and loves me far away.’’ ** * i One of the happy social events of this week was the card party at which Mrs Joseph M.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition ot the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation 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 catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The old cone-shaped Manila cigar, or cheroot which was supposed the best smoking when lit at the thin end, is rapidly going out of fashion and mod ern shapes are taking its place. The 1 Americans in Manila are taking kind ly to the tobacco in the form of both cigars and cigarettes, and it is predict ed that as soon as the Manila cigars are introduced in the states they will become the rage. It is quite likely that steps may be taken to prevent the exportation of the bud qualities of to* baccs which in times past have given a bad reputation in this country to the Manila product. There are eight large cigar and cigarette factories in Manila, which employ 400 to 2,000 operatives each. Beyond these houses, which confine themselves mainly to the higher grades of the market, there are nearly 100 smaller factories—St. Louis Republic.

IST. REAVES, PARSNIP COMPLEXION. It does not require an expert to detect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re peated, or if the urine has a brick dost de posit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage ot kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one nt»d suffer any length of time for want of it.
