The Big Park.
Can tain Anderson, who commands
the two troops of the Sixth Cavalry
wnicn guara the great Yellowstone
National Park, says that from Decem
ber to May the mountain sheep are
in abundance in the n.irlr. ami that
scarcely a day passes that he does not
see a aozen ot tnem, but with the re
turn of warm weather they retreat to
their haunts in the fastness of the
wildest mountains, and are not seen
again until the cold weather drives
them down.
The troops stationed in the park
become skilled woodsmen and carry
axes and rubber buckets attached to
their saddles, instead of sabres. In
the Winter they are forced to rely on
snow shoes to a great extent, and
most of the men in the.captain's com
mand are expert snowshoers, it being
no uncommon occurence for two or
three of them to be sent out on jour
neys of 100 to 150 miles.
The Norwegian skee is used by
many of the troopers, and those who
are experts in the use of them travel
at marvelous speed on the down
crades. Can tain Anderson savs that
there is a road leading to his post
wnicn nas a rather steep grade for
four miles and tin has irnrtwn a man
on skees to cover this distance in
eleven minutes.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional re
medies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a rumb
ling 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 re
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever ; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

TXrU O Why ! Strictly Pure
VV l! V ' Whe Lead the best
w J paint ? Because it
will outlast all other paints, give a
handsomer finish, better protection to
the wood, and the first cost will be less.
If Barytes and other adulterants of
white lead are "just as rood" as
Strictly Pure White Lead, why are all
the adulterated white leads always
branded Pure, or
"Strictly Pure
White Lead?"
This Barytes is a heavy white powder
(ground stone), having; the appearance
of white lead, worthless as a paint,
costing only about a cent a pound, and
