Deafness Cannot bo Cured By local applications, as they cannot mach tbe diseased portion of the ear. Tnero Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by the constitutional reme? dies. Deafness is caused by an in? flamed condition of the mucous lining of tho Eustachlan Tube. When this tube ie inflamed you have a rumbling Bound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en? tirely closed, deafness is tho result, and unless tho inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, boaring will be destroyed for? ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in? flamed condition of tbe mucous surface.

Tho most northorly lighthouse on the coast of this continent stuuds on Bello islo, at tho head of tho straits of that name, a littlo northeast of Newfound? land. By what freak of taste it was called Bello islo I cannot say, for evou the old navigators had such a horror of it. that on their charts they marked it with tho figuro of a dotuou. Tho morning tho littlo mail steamer on which I cruised "down ou tlio Lab? rador, "as tho Newfoundlanders say, plunged and rolled past it through tho surge tho ragged mass of rock crouch- i ed thero as if ready to seizo its prey of Bhips aud human lives. Tho surf, un? heard at our distance, flashed nronnd its baso like It long row of glistening teeth. A huge iceberg had drifted in nnd lay stranded at ono end of tho is? land; far up on the rocks was tho light? house; ou a shelf below stood a littlo hut, with provisions, for shipwrecked sailors; tho gray morning mists made those look heavy and sodden, and alto? gether this glimpso of Bello islo was tho most dosolato scono I had over bo held. Over our bow tho barren coast of Labrador was faintly outlined, and as tho last lighthouse on tho continont drop pod astern I felt that wo were indeed drawing away from civilization, and this fooling was strengthened whou, as wo tumod our prow northward, we sighted tho vanguard of tho seemingly ondloss procession of hugo icebergs drift? ing slowly down in single filo from the mysterious regions of tho north. Wo had met with single bergs along tho Newfoundland coast, but off Labra? dor they becanio a constant and unspeak? ably grand feature in tho seaward view. I doubt if they can bo seen any wlioro olso except in arctic and antarctio waters in such numbers, variety and grandeur. Tho branch of tho gulf stream which pushes its way into tho Arctio ocean has sufficient forco lef t when it is reflected by tho frozen northern bound? ary of that sea to send an icy current down along tho Labrador coast. Prac? tically all tho bergs that break looso from tho ico sheathed shores of Green? land aro borno southward by this cur? rent. Ono morning, when I went upon deck, I counted no less than 135 hugo ones. Some of these wero great solid blocks of ico; othors were arched with numerous Gothic passageways; some reached with Bpireliko grace high up into tho air.

It wns remarked by a writer long ago that "thero is no revengo so bard and bitter as that of an old man," and it is one of tho astonishing perversities of many natures that tho longer they live tho liardor thoy hug their possessions. Tho most disinterested affection is pass? ed over, the most faithful and most val uablo services aro slightly and grudg? ingly rewarded. This mental and moral diseaso notably afflicts tho richest. Tho Marquis d'Aligro was a singular oxam ple. His will was concocted with a spo oial dosiro to disappoint and insult his relatives, friends nnd servants. To tho iirst it said: "As for you, my relatives who havo beon so long spelling upon this fortune on which 'I had concentrat? ed all my affections,1 you aro not going to touch a penny of it, and not ono of you will bo ablo to boast that you havo squandered tho millions which tho old Marquis d'Aligro had taken so many years to hoard up." Sir Robert Bovil, ono of James I's officials, did not oven sparo his wife. "I give unto my wifotonno shillings in respect she took her sonnes part ngainst mo nnd did anymato and comfort him afterwards. Thoso will not bo forgot? ten."

It Is an exclusive stylo and one that doos not lend itself well to ordinary use, for which tho separate skirt and bodice aro moro con? venient.

Tho variety most seen hns a princess back, While tho front Is finished llko a bodice. Tho sloping shoulder Is gradually bo coining moro generally represented, tho sloping effect being sometimes obtained by a broad collar banging over tho top of tho arm, sometimes by having tho upper part of tho sleovo shirred in closo to tho shoul? der. English women aro wearing scantier nnd shorter skirts than either American or French women. Somo of tho English skirts aro cut decidedly off the ground at tho back for the street, which is certainly a rational fashion for women to follow who must go out in all weathers. Stitching, strapping and buttons reign on walking costumes. In somo cases overy scam of tho skirt is stitched or strapped, the tabller is adorned with buttons on ono or both sides, and the bodice is trimmed with groups of smaller buttons, while tho slcovc, composed of many tapering breadths, is strapped or stitched liko tho skirts and fastened with buttons at tho wrist. Tho illustration shows two costumes for girls. Tho first, for a girl of 14 or 10 years. Is of winter serge of a willow green shade. The Daring skirt is edged with black astrakhan. Tho blouso is of ruby velvet with a snrgo yoke. A wide plait framed by buttons decorates tho front of tho blouse, while a wido velvet eollar with an applii]tio pattern of white cloth covers tho shoulders. Tho sorgo sleeves have deep cuffs.of velvet similarly adorned. The second costume, for a girl of 10 years, is of old blue velvet. The skirt is bordered with marten, while an immense collar of BUCdo cloth, embroidered and edged with fur, covers the shoulders. Tho skirt but? tons on tho left side. JUDIO CllOLLET.

Tho pony was first thrown to tho ground, and his four legs were tied together so that ho couldn't possibly kick. "Then tho blacksmith pounded hoop iron shoes on his feet with a rude iron hammer.

They wore making tools in this blacksmith's shop, and all tho tools and plows aro mado by hand.
