There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is 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 destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Cattarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Several years ago a quiet young ehap shipped as a machinist in the navy aboard the receiving ship Vermont at the Brooklyn navy yard: He gave San Francisco as his place of nativity. He was assigned to a cruiser about to start for the China station by the Suez canal route. He was a crack mechanic and very soon showed the engineers that he knew how to earn his rate and wages. He never said much about himself. He wasn’t inything of what is called a "-war chaw,” and, although he been up and down the world a good deal, “he let others’dothe talking. “He -was; perhaps the quietest man in the American navy at the time he served. His ship got to the Asiatie station all right and cruised back and forth there between China and Japan for close on to three years. Then she was ordered back* to the ’ United. States. She had-a lot of “overtime” men aboard of her by that time, sailors whose time had expired, but who preferred to wait until they reached the United States before they took their discharges. When the ship was ordered back home, a-lot of overtime men from other ships on the Asiatic station were sent to her to be brought back to this country, This machinist-—call him Beall—had just 21 days left of his three year enlistment when the ship left Yokohama for San Francisco ‘via the Hawaiian Islands. All of the overtime men were talking about their trip around from San Francisco to New York by passenger steamer. They had all shipped at the Brooklyn navy yard, and the navy always sends men to the point whence it takes them when they enlist unless they “waive trarsportation” for the purpose of stopping off at an intermediary point. It took the ship 14 days to “fetch up” Honolulu from Yokohama, and then Beall, the machinist, had five days yet to serve. “Are you going to waive transportation and drop off at San Francisco, or are you going around to New York with us?’ the men asked him when the ship pulled into Honolulu.“Don’t know yet,” the machinist replied. After coaling .at Honolulu—which took four days, done leisurely—the . s skipper of the ship decided to take a bit of a run around the Hawalian Islands before up anchoring for San Francisco. Beall’s time expired. on the morning that his ship was headed for _Lahaina, on the island of Maui, a little sail of about ‘85 miles from Hono lulu, The ship dropped her anchor +within about 300 yards of the Lahaina beach along toward 3 o’clock in the afternoon. ie, The island of Maui is very beautiful to look upoi—a veritable gem of the ocean.

The commanding officer came out of his cabin. : “What is it, my man?’ he asked the machinist. “My time is out, sir,” said the machinist.* “I guess I'll take my 4discharge here.” The commanding officer looked sur“This is rather a queer notion,” he gaid. “You shipped in New York, did you not? I should think you would want to get back to the United States after your three years on the China station. Or, at any rate, that you would prefer to"wait until we get back to Honolulu, if you want te waive transportation and take your discharge down here anong the islands:~ you want your discharge today. and here?” The machinist smiled as he replied: “Because this island here, Maui, is my home, At this moment my father and. mother and seven brothers and ~gisters are on-this ‘island. They sre sr a place not very far from Labaina, called § . {The girl that I am . going to marry is also there. I was ‘porn in Frisco, but my father came down to this island as engineer of a sugar plantation when I was 2 years old. None of them. know that I am within just a few miles of home now. I want to give them a little surprise. i waive transportation, and I'll take ‘my discharge now.” The commanding officer Mstened to the recital with interest. “Qf course we'll give you your dis. charge, son,” the said, “although I’m sorry to lose you, and I had hoped you might ship over. Close mouthed men are wanted in the navy. You owe us some thanks, I think, for starting. you off at New York, taking you around the world for three years and then fetching you up within an hour or so of your home on the very day your time {s out. To all Iintents and purposes, we have been a yacht for you.” It was rather a remarkable happenIng for a fact. Thg machinist packed bis things and weht over the side, amid the pleasant salutations of the men, about two hours later, with his. bag and hammock and a couple of thousand dollars in gold, his savings during the cruise. A couple of hours later he was with his people and his sweetheart in Spreckelsville. It is a small world.— Washington Star.

Hannibal saved himself by. having 2000 oxen, with burning fagots around their horns, driven upon an eminence at night, making the efiemy believe a sally was to be made at-that point, inducing the Roman General to quit one of the main passes,through which the Carthagenian army escaped.

in the course of my moral-applying eloquence, ‘why is it that there should be peculiar appropriateness today in the gathering, about this bier, of friends and relatives whose tears fall like rain ?’ “I paused there significantly to let my words sink in, when suddenly, with a choke-producing flash, it crossed my mind that the dead'man had been a milkman in the community for twentyfive years.” “A Heart as Sturpy as an oak.” If the heart isto besturdy and the nerves strong, the blood must be rich and Hood’s' Sarsaparilla makes heart sturdy beeause it makes good blood.

Several years ago a quiet young ehap shipped as a machinist in the navy aboard the receiving ship Vermont at the Brooklyn navy yard: He gave San Francisco as his place of nativity. He was assigned to a cruiser about to start for the China station by the Suez canal route. He was a crack mechanic and very soon showed the engineers that he knew how to earn his rate and wages. He never said much about himself. He wasn’t inything of what is called a "-war chaw,” and, although he been up and down the world a good deal, “he let others’dothe talking. “He -was; perhaps the quietest man in the American navy at the time he served. His ship got to the Asiatie station all right and cruised back and forth there between China and Japan for close on to three years. Then she was ordered back* to the ’ United. States. She had-a lot of “overtime” men aboard of her by that time, sailors whose time had expired, but who preferred to wait until they reached the United States before they took their discharges. When the ship was ordered back home, a-lot of overtime men from other ships on the Asiatic station were sent to her to be brought back to this country, This machinist-—call him Beall—had just 21 days left of his three year enlistment when the ship left Yokohama for San Francisco ‘via the Hawaiian Islands. All of the overtime men were talking about their trip around from San Francisco to New York by passenger steamer. They had all shipped at the Brooklyn navy yard, and the navy always sends men to the point whence it takes them when they enlist unless they “waive trarsportation” for the purpose of stopping off at an intermediary point. It took the ship 14 days to “fetch up” Honolulu from Yokohama, and then Beall, the machinist, had five days yet to serve. “Are you going to waive transportation and drop off at San Francisco, or are you going around to New York with us?’ the men asked him when the ship pulled into Honolulu.“Don’t know yet,” the machinist replied. After coaling .at Honolulu—which took four days, done leisurely—the . s skipper of the ship decided to take a bit of a run around the Hawalian Islands before up anchoring for San Francisco. Beall’s time expired. on the morning that his ship was headed for _Lahaina, on the island of Maui, a little sail of about ‘85 miles from Hono lulu, The ship dropped her anchor +within about 300 yards of the Lahaina beach along toward 3 o’clock in the afternoon. ie, The island of Maui is very beautiful to look upoi—a veritable gem of the ocean.

The commanding officer came out of his cabin. : “What is it, my man?’ he asked the machinist. “My time is out, sir,” said the machinist.* “I guess I'll take my 4discharge here.” The commanding officer looked sur“This is rather a queer notion,” he gaid. “You shipped in New York, did you not? I should think you would want to get back to the United States after your three years on the China station. Or, at any rate, that you would prefer to"wait until we get back to Honolulu, if you want te waive transportation and take your discharge down here anong the islands:~ you want your discharge today. and here?” The machinist smiled as he replied: “Because this island here, Maui, is my home, At this moment my father and. mother and seven brothers and ~gisters are on-this ‘island.

I want to give them a little surprise. i waive transportation, and I'll take ‘my discharge now.” The commanding officer Mstened to the recital with interest. “Qf course we'll give you your dis. charge, son,” the said, “although I’m sorry to lose you, and I had hoped you might ship over. Close mouthed men are wanted in the navy. You owe us some thanks, I think, for starting. you off at New York, taking you around the world for three years and then fetching you up within an hour or so of your home on the very day your time {s out. To all Iintents and purposes, we have been a yacht for you.” It was rather a remarkable happenIng for a fact. Thg machinist packed bis things and weht over the side, amid the pleasant salutations of the men, about two hours later, with his. bag and hammock and a couple of thousand dollars in gold, his savings during the cruise. A couple of hours later he was with his people and his sweetheart in Spreckelsville. It is a small world.— Washington Star.
