Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local application*, as thoy cannot reach the
diseased port ion of tbe ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafne*s is caused by an in
flamed condition of tbe mucous lining of the
K.ustaohian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rambling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hoarlng will be
destroyed forever; lilne cases out ten aro
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Bend for

A GREAT NEWSGATHERER.
HOW UNCLE SAM GETS ALL KINDS
OF INFORMATION.
Transmission of Consular Reports by
Cable—Service of the Agricultu
ral and Other Departments.
UNCLE SAM is the greatest
news gatherer wo know,
writes George Grantham
Bain. All of tho agencies of
tho newspapers of this country put to
gether are hardly as great as the
corps of men ho retains to send him
information of current events. Some
of this information ho publishes in
the shapo of public documents which
few people ever read. Somo of it he
preserves in the files of his depart
ments at Washington for tho use of
his oxecutivo officers.
Tho big Government news machine
has correspondents who are reporters;
it has editors in tho different depart
ments, and Grover Cleveland is their
editor-in-chief: and it has sub-editors
who read copy and use the blue pen
cil on it. The news service covers a
very wide range—much wider than
that of tho average newspaper. For
though tho Government does not fol
low the record of deaths and marriages
or the chronicle of local crime, it has
often a far more accurate and rapid
service on some great foreign war,
liko tho Chinose-Japanese conflict or
the recont Brazilian trouble than any
of tho great nowspapers can obtain,
no matter how great their expendi
ture of money. In matters of this
kind the Government service should
be far ahead of the newspaper service,
for treat}' obligations require the
transmission of Government messages
by cable when commercial messages
can be declined. But it is pretty hard
for the Government, even with all the
apparent advantages on its side, to
get ahead of tho enterprising Ameri
can newspaper.
Tho transmission of news by cable
during some such emergency as now
exists in Asia is not tho only nows duty
of tho American consuls and commer
cial agents or the ministers or ambas
sadors of the United States at foreign
capitals. Tho Bureau of Statistics of
the State Department issues at month
ly intervals small volumes of reports
sent in by our diplomatic representa
tives ; some of them volunteered and
some sent in response to inquires of
the Department. This news feature
of the consular service has become of
great commercial importance to the
United States.
Tho consuls of the United States are
required to send in at regular inter
vals reports of the condition of public
health in tho towns or cities where
they are stationed. These reports and
the reports sent by certain medical
correspondents who represent the hos
pital service abroad arejjpublished by
the Surgeon-General in a weekly bul
letin. This bulletin is one of the most
valuable news publications of the
Government. Not all of the informa
tion published in it comes by mail.
Where the United States is threat
ened with cholera or any other con
tagious diseaso tho surgeon receives
reports by wire, usually through tho
State Department aud its representa
tives.
Next to the news service of the State
Department tho Agricultural Depart
ment has tho most elaborate and com
plete system of news-gathering and
distribution. For the crop report
aloue the services of nearly 5000 cor
respondents are called into requisi
tion directly or indirectly. There
are about 2500 correspoudeuts who
roport to the department direct.
There are almost an equal number
roporting to the State agents of the
department who make up State esti
mates and forward them to the
Btatisticiau for comparison. These
correspondents are just as surely news
gatherers as are tho correspondents of
city papers in the rural distriets.
They receive uo compensation. Their
only reward is a copy of each of the
department bullctius. As a rule
those correspondents are farmers.
Somo of them, though, are country
doctors. All of tho reports of these
correspondents are "edited" by the
statistician before they are made pub
lic. They aro compared for possible
error or false statement; and tho crop
estimate made public every month is
tho exprossion of the individual judg
ment of the statistician, based on all
of tho reports received from 5000
sources.
Another important nows gathering
and news distributing branch of the
Agricultural Department is the
Weather Bureau. At 150 stations in
different parts of tho United States
observers and assistant observers are
employed, not only to take scientific
observations and keep statistics, but
to send to tho chiof of the bureau at
Washington by telegraph the news of
tho condition of the weather all over
the country. The chief editor to
handle theeo roports is the forecaster,
who takes all of tho dispatches and
marking "highs" and "lows" and
other like indications of ethereal con
ditions on a map, figures out for tho
entire country just the kind of weather
to which each country is entitled.
This forecast work has been of im
meuso value to farmers, and it has
often warned seamen of impending
disaster. The weather report is one
of the most valuable and interesting
of the nows publications of tho Govern
ment.
In addition to the crop report cor
respondents and tho weather ob
servers, the Agricultural Department
has special agents at many points send
ing in news of the condition of cattle
and other information pertaining to
subjects which are within the juris
diction of Secretary Morton. And the
editors in the different bureaus which
handle theso reports are not the only
"blue-poncders" iu the department.
'lhe Secretary of Agriculture has a
regular editor, known officially by
that title, whoso duty it is to examine
and pass upon publications to bo issued
by the department.
One of tho most important of the
news bureaus of tho Government is
attached to the Navy Department. It
is of comparatively recent establish
ment. It is known as the Naval In
telligence Bureau. Its duty is to
gather together from all parts of tho
world information about foreign
navies and foreign coast defenses.
When Japan and China began hostili
ties Secretary Herbert could have sent
to the Naval Intelligence Burean and
on a few minutes' notice could have
had a full description of tho navies of
both tho belligerents and an admirable
description of tho sea coast along
which tho fight was being waged.
There is not a war vessel in the world
wtyich tho Naval Intelligence Bureau
cannot describe. This information
comes from tho news correspondents
of the Navy Department, who are in
part the officers of our own war ves
sels and in part our representatives in
naval matters at the great capitals of
tho world. Wo have naval secretaries
attached to all of our prinoipal lega
tions. Besides, tho Navy Department
sometimes sends naval officers abroad
on a special mission to gather infor
mation.
The Treasury Department, of course,
is constantly at work through its cus
toms officers and other agents gather
ing statistics of commerce. These are
published from time to time by the
Bureau of Statistics. The Indian offico
of the Interior Department receives
from its agents not only curront news
of tho condition of the Indians, but
stories of tho origin of their tribal
customs and other matters, which
make a page of the Indian Commis
sioner's report most interesting read
ing. Tho bureau of ethology is busily
engaged in collecting news of the
primitive American. Tho geological
survey tells tho country from time to
time all about its production of gold
and precious stones, about the devel
opment of irrigation and dozens of
other things which would bo consid
ered good news in mauy newspaper
offices. We send representatives
abroad to report on the Panama Canal,
the Nicaragua Canal, tho interna
tional geographical congress, tho in
ternational monetary [conference, the
international marine conference. In
fact, the field of news gathering cov
ered by tho agents of our Government
is so wido that no newspapor, how
ever enterprising, could hope to fill it.

TRUE TO THE LIFE.
Ono morning a banker stopped into
his office and most effusivolv greeted
his bookkeeper, who had entered his
services just twenty-five years bofore,
at the same time handing him a closed
envelope with the remark : "This is to
servo you as a memento of the present
occasion." The grateful recipient did
not venture at first to open the cn-
volope, until encouraged to do so by
a nod and a smile from his employer.
And what do you think it coutained?
The banker's photograph—that, and
nothing more. The bookkeeper was
dumb.
"Well, what do you think of it?"
his principal inquired.
"It's just like you," was the reply.
NO CREDIT TO HIS CREDENTIALS.
The captain of a large steamer was
ouce filling up his crew for a long
voyage, when a seaman came up and
said:
"I want to sail with you, sir."
"All right, my man," ropliod the
captain. "Where have you sailed be
fore?"
"P. and 0., sir, to Australia."
"What countryman?"
"An Oirishman," was tho ready re
sponse.
"Well, you must get a character."
Tho discharge was obtained, and as
tho Irishman was presenting it,
another seaman came up and said he
wanted to join.
"What line were you on bofore?"
asked the captain.
"Cunard, sir."
"What countryman ?"
"English, your honor."
"All right, go forward."
Shortly atter, as the two were swill
ing the decks in a heavy sea, the Eng
lishman was swept overboard, bucket
and all. Unmoved, Paddy iinishod
his job and then went to the captain's
cabin.
"Como in," responded the ollicor to
his rap. "What's up now? '
"Do you remember Bill Smith, the
Englisinan and Cunarder?" queried
Pat.
"Certainly, my man."
"You took him without a char
acter. "
"I believe so. What of that?"
"He's gone overboard wid your
bucket."—Chicago Record.
MERE CHILD'S PLAY NOW.
"Yes," said tho football player, as
he donned his heavily-padded knick
erbockers, "the game has been robbed
of all its rough features, aud is now
mero child's play."
He paused a moment to adjust a
complicated leather harness that held
his ears close to his head and thor
oughly covered them up, and then
continued: "The new rules are de
signed to eliminate all elements of
danger, and prevent players from be
ing injured in any way. They prom
ise to succeed admirably," he added,
in slightly nasal tones, as ho placed a
thick rubber nose-protector over that
organ. "Under the old and so-called
barbarous rules, broken legs were not
infrequent," he said, strapping on his
heavy shin-guards, "but tho public
may be sure that all this has now been
done away with."
Brushing back his long chrysanthe
mumlike locks, the better to see, he
tied about his waist and over his
leather jacket a wire chest-protector,
and struck it a resounding blow with
his massive list. "The abolition* of
momentum plays has made the sport
almost as gentlo as tennis or golf or
baseball," he said, with what seemed
a sigh, uffixing stout ku:e-caps to his
knees aud ankle-protcctors to his
ankles.
"By-the-way," ho added, "wheu
you seo her in the grand stand, tell
mother that my life insurance policy
is in the safety deposit vault ou Fifth
avenue." Ho paused an iustaut to
adjust his wrist-supporters, and then
coutinuod: "The fact is, old man,
just between us, the game has been
ruined. It is baby-play now. Girls
could play it without dislocating the
crimp in their front hair. Chess and
eribbage are dangerous when, com
pared with the new stylo of football."
Placing a thick rubber teeth-pro

THE BUSINESS MAN'S LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand in Hand.
Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, .and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
When a five horse-power engine is made
to do ten horse-power work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
office will "bolt " his food in a few min
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg of nails would be in a
fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and " ready
to break," because tliey do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
ne takes I)r. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The " Pellets " are tiny
sugar-coated pills made of highly concen
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for a short time to cure the biliousness,
constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of
the liver; then the "Medical Discovery"
should be taken in teaspoonful doses to in
crease the blood and enrich it. It has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
—but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi
gestion. dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can cure
yourself with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country.

The Greatest Hedical Discovery
of the Age.
KENNEDY'S
Medical Discovery.
DONALD KENNEDY, of ROXBURY, MASS.
j Got this Letter day before yesterday.
/'■ nn Fan, -Y. Y. t Nov. 28,1884.
Your Discovery has done so much for
me I am only too glad to tell everybody
I about my case.
When I began taking it, one year ago
last July, I had It Y STEPSI A in its
worst form. I teas constipated, so much
so as to always use- injections, and I had
a constant PAIN in my STOMACH
and LEFT SIDE. My knees xcere stiff,
and I could not sit down on a stool or
get down to fx anything on the floor,
llut now I <uin sit. or get down on my
knees, or do anything in my garden. I
feel like a new person. You must know
I xras discouraged, as I have lost two
sist< rs and "ii older brother with
STOMACH TROUBLE, llut I truly
believe if they had known of your
remedies they would be xnell, as 1 am.
Yoxi can flx up my letter to suit yourself,
only do publish it, that women may
know what the Discovery has done for
me. Yours truly,
Mrs. MARY C. AYRES.

Well People
do not need medicine.
Certainly not. But
sometimes they have
a headache or feel
bilious—perhaps a
little dizzy. This is
the
Warning.
Ripans Tabules, tak
en at such times, will
keep people well.
