There is only one way to cure deafness and that is Ly constitution al remedies. Deafness is caused by an imflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound, ot Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result, and unless the In flamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi tion. hearing will be destroyed for ever; uiue cases out of ten are caused by Catmrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

PAY DAY SECRETS. I he Whole Office Force In Fear After the Ghost Walks. About 150 per cent of that por tion of mankind is haunted by the > fear that the life ambition of every I other person is to get a look at the i figure behind the dollar mark on I the obverse side of its pay envel ope. j This fear is the F. Gotch of Pan ' icville. The office boy who labors faithfully —to sidestep labor —and the general superintendent of the , whole works waltz down to pick up ; the fruits of their toil with this horrible fear frisking around them. Most paymasters are honorable ! men. Not only do they keep mum, but they slide the pay envelope out ! with its face to flip marble slab. This, however, is generally per formed as though the paymaster had to take it all out of his own pocket and with an air which says: “How can you compromise your conscience by taking so much ?” Methods of disposing of the pay envelope vary. Here are ec-me em ployed by the office boys of a large Kansas City concern: The Henry method, invention of Henry, the $3.58 a week office boy: Tear the pay envelope into ribbons about four-sixteenths of an inch wide, insert in mouth, chew with teeth until former envelope becomes a pulpy mass, then roll into paper wad and insert in right shoe, inter in some deserted spot, not necessarily a cemetery. Note.— If you suspect any one of watching it is better to swallow the strip with the telltale numerals on it. Method employed by Cherry smith, assistant shipping clerk, ($8.98): Tear or clip envelope until it resembles the confetti of com merce. Put into pocket and hold until you go home in afternoon. Then take in hand and carelessly drop 3 (two) bits from the car win dow at alternate street corners. What is considered the one abso • lutely sure method, discovered by George Peas, an obscure salesman ($10): Take envelope in right hand. Strike match —any brand will do— n trousers or sole of shoe. Ignite v. ’ope and cremate. enve. ne of the traditions of this It is o. 'v that every employee, same corona,. -d manager down, from the genet, velope system, be paid by the eu at 10:30 The manager gets hi. ng. It o’clock on Saturday raorm. 'ope comes in a tailor made enve. that looks like a paper mail sack. It is a popular Saturday recreation for employees to happen along to see the manager as he opens it. Manager, after tilling bis pockets with currency, puts the envelope in his inside vest pocket. But he must dispose of it. Let us watch him. At quitting time he descends to where his motorear and imported chauffeur await him. “Go home by wav of the Cliff drive, Armand.” As' they reach the quieter por ! tions of the city the manager points i out to the chauffeur what seems to j be an airship over in themeighbor ; hood of Saturn. As the unsuspect ing driver looks the manager slips the pay envelope from, his pocket. When 'they reach the drive the manager says: “Let ’er out a notch land watch your turns!” ! Then, eying the indifferent chauf ' feur closely, he tears little pieces from that envelope and pushes them mercilessly over the cliff. He j is usually nervous for a day or two i after dissecting the envelope, for i there is a chance of being followed by some one ■who may gather the pinhead’lbits together, piece out the envelope and —nab the secret! Kansas (City Times. A Royal Fowl. In England under an old law still in force the swan is a royal fowl, as -.whales, and sturgeons are royal fish. All -swans the property where of is not otherwise definable when within theyßritish. dominions belong to the crown by virtue of this pre rogative. When swans are lawfully taken into the possesion of a pri vate person such person may be said to have a property in them, but if they; be at liberty they belong to, the -crown. Formerly it was neces sary’for parsons who wished to keep these “royal fowls” to obtain a swan mark, which was granted by the crown and which could not-be legally impressed without grant or prescription. The Wit of Evarts. Once when twitted on his> small size by a statesman of the strenu ous type the late William M.,Evarts retorted, “That remark proves what 1 have always asserted—that in your eyes measures were more important than men.” To another critic, who found fault with his habit of stringing out a whole paragraph without a break by the use of parenthetical clauses, he said cheerfully, “I have noticed that criminals object to long sentences.” Why Druggists Recommend Chamber lain’s Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy.
