Deafness Cannot lie Cnred
by local applications, as they canuot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu

flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed

Postage Stamps.
The design of the stamp is engraved
on steel, and, in printing, plates are
used on which 200 stamps have been
engraved. Two men are kept busy at
work covering these with colored inks,
unci passing thorn .to a man and a girl
who are equally "busy printing them
with large rolling hand presses. Three
of these little squads are employed all ;
tho time. After the small sheets of
paper containing 200 printed stamps
have dried enough they are sent InTo
another room and gummed. The gum
made for this purpose Is a peculiar
composition, made of the powder of
dried potatoes and other vegetables,
mixed with water. After having been
again dried—this time on little racks
fanned by steam power—for about an
hour, they are very carefully put be
tween sheets of pasteboard and press
ed in hydraulic presses capable of ap
plying a weight of 2,000 tons. Tho
uext thing is to cut the sheets in two,
each sheet, of course, when cut, con
taining 100 stamps. This is done by a
girl with a large pair of shears, cut
ting by hand beiug preferred to that |
by machinery, which would destroy ,
too many stamjis. They are then pass-
Ml to another squad of workers, who
perforate the paper between the j
stamps. Next they are pressed one*
cnore and then packed and labeled and
stowed away, to be sent out to the
various offices when ordered. If a sin- !
glo stamp is torn or in any way muti
lated, the whole sheet of 100 stamps is
burned. Not less than 50,000 are said
to be burned every week from this
cause. The greatest care Is taken, in
counting the sheets of stamps, to guard
against pilfering by the employes.—

Laoemaking Machine.
The problem of making by machln i
•ry lace which cannot possibly be dla
languished from that made by hant j
seems to be solved by a machine in j
vented by a Spaniard and now in us<
in a great Nottingham lace factory. I| i
claims to reproduce any pattern thai j
can be made by hand on the cushion
and one-third finer than the averagi j
quantity of lace. The mechanism hai !
j a speed of 130 motions per minute j
I which can be "raised to 200. so that i
machine 80 inches whle. making 2-incli ,
breadths, would perform the work o) |
forty women. The design Is pricked i
out on a cushion ruled in squares, ano
lace pins stuck at the corners of tb< |
squares, where they remain until th
' lace is finished. The real lace is thei
■ decomposed by the woman who madi
j It. She has at her side an assistant
J who takes down the figures as they ar
: called out to her. The rows of pins oi
I motions are worked down the left sid j
! of the cushion draught; the number oi !
threads is marked from left to righl \
ulong the top, and the maker reads tin !
number to her assistant while deconi j
posing, the exact motion of each thread !
being recorded. The paper on whlcli j
! the motions ure marked is then taker
j to the puncher, who prepares the cards

i on the machine reproduce exactly the ;
I same design. The machine is small,

being woven separate. The threads

A Hugo Freight Rill.
I do not know that many are aware |
that the annual freight bill of thi9 j
country amounts to more than SBOO,.
| 000,000 a year. It Is a tax, and the
most burdensome tax which this coun
try knows, upon our industries and
upon production. Its meaning, brought
home, Is that each family in the United
States pays on the average SOO a year
for freight alone. If Commissioner
| Wright's statistics are correct—that
the average? income of each laborer In
i this country is not more than SSOO a
year- then each head of a family must
: set aside on the average tho results
of a month and a half of toil to pay Ills j
share of the freight.
The people of the West have learned
this economic lessonPrrell. They have j
seen their wheat carried over the great
lakes at an average charge of less than i
1 mill per ton p?r mile, when the rail
road rate from their farms to lake
transportation or to market was from
1 eentto IV. cents per ton pcrmlle.Tliey
know that if all the freight in the Uni
ted States could be carried ns cheaply
as Is wheat from Dulutli to Buffalo this •
burden would be cut down to one-tenth
of what It now Is.
! Such considerations as these ought
to make it plain, even to a wayfarer
or a Congressman, that the freight
question Is worth a little attention.— !

Miss Helen liockwood, of Peru,
Tn(l., is one woman who considers an
engagement sacred, aud in order to
till one she drove sixty-five miles
across country in an open buggy in
five hours. She was billed to appear
!at a concert at Frankfort, but missed
the train at Peru. She drove to Ko
komo, hoping to catch a train there
for Frankfort, but arrived just in time
to see the train pull out. This being
her last chance, Miss Lockwood de
cided to continue her journey over
land. She accordingly hired another
horse, and by changing teams again at
Piussiaville reached her destination in

' great deal in London, and not a few

worn by Miss St. John in tho second
act of "The Geisha," at Daly's, shows
a most remarkable elfect in sash ar
rangements, the large one she wearc
1 covering almost tho whole of the front
of her skirt. A London fashion paper
declares:
'•Bashes fall from the waist to the
, liem on many -of the winter skirts,
whether made for day or evening
wear, and they appear to be carelessly
tied, starting from a loose bow. This
is tho general treatment. The new
est is tho Watteau flash, coming be
! tween the shoulder blades and thence
descending to the feet, combining the
grace of the Watteau plait with tho
sash, which is always a great addition.
! For these several purposes there is a
liberal choice of ribbons in stripes,
especially velvet and silk combined,
or in checks, which include some uu
! usually bold tartans, aud in plain rich
peau do soie of tho vivid red tones
which are so becoming and often so
delightful an addition to winter dress."
Afghanistan New Wuiniui.
The new woman has penetrated
even to the harem of the Amoer of
Afghanistan, where she wears male at
tire and does precisely as she pleases.
The Ameer picked her up on his re
turn journey from the northern part
of his dominions a good many years
i ago. She had been brought before
him by an indignant father and pro
posed husband for punishment. She
would not conform to the uage of the
country aud enter the married state,
though she had then reached the age
when ir. became iucumbent upon her
|to du Co. Tho girl declared sho. had
run wild all her life, and did not wish
to give up her freedom and lie shut
up in a harem. She songht the
Ameer's protection and obtained it.
"All right," he said, "since you
want to be free you shall be, but free
you must also remain; that is your
punishment. You wish to live like a
man; you shall live like one, and for
your own protection you must wear
men's clothes."
On her arrival at Cabul she was
given the title of oider, or chief, and
was made the harem's messenger. She
comes and goes as she pleases, or is
ordered, both by night and day, and

She was found weeping over it by the !
Misses Somerville and they said: !

when mamma is done what alio is
about she'll mend it. for you, so no
one will ever know it has been torn."

WHALF. MET HiS MASTER. j
Stabbed to Death by a Suordflsh, Whtcfi
Rosea It* Terrible Weapon.
Captain Appleton, of the British
steamship Benridge, from Rio Janeiro,
witnessed an exciting conflict between
I a whale and a swordfisli on the voyage
j up. Tho whale was plunging along
about fifty or sixty yards away from
| tho steamer, when suddenly it- leaped
j clear out of tho water and fell back
! with a tremendous splash. He saw
! on the other side of tho whale a sharp
! dorsal fin cutting tho water. It was a
swordlish, the whale's hereditary en
emy. The swordlish did not wait an
instant, but plunged straight for the j
■ whale again, and tho latter with .
sharp twist, eluded him once more,
and tried, without effect, to seize his
assailant in his great jaws.
| (i Then, for a few minutes, the two
; came to close quarters, and their iden-
I tity was lost iu a fierce confusion ol
writhing bodies, thrashing tails nud
Hying spray. Captain Appleton had
the ship slowed down to watch the
combat. He says that the fierceness
of the fight was indescribable, and
the noiso made bv these two young- i
sters could have been heard a mile
I away.
! The swordlish drew off, aud, wheel- ;
ing round, made a dash at the whale, j
but the latter leaped clear out of the !
water, trying to fall on the swordfisli
and crush him. This mancuvre was
repeated a dozen times, and then the
Rwordfish again closed with his ad
versary, and in the mix-up apparently
wounded him, for tho water us it was
• thrown up in the struggles was slight- ;
Ily tinged with blood. The whale was
j far from beaten, however, and con
tinued to "fight on as fiercely as ever,
and this sort of thing was kept up foi
I nearly an 'hour, at the end of which
I time tho whale appeared to bo getting
: tired.
| Suddenly the whale sounded, the
< awordfish following him, and for u few
minutes nothing was seen of either ol
i vhem. Then they reappeared a sliori
| distance on tlie other side of tho ves-
I sol, tho whale now seeming very weak, j
■ us ho moved slowly in tho water, and j
showed several wounds in his side
where lie had beell cut by tho sword
lish. Twice ho avoided the fierce
rush of the latter, but at the third at
tempt the swordlish plunged into kin;
at full speed, burying his sword al
most to his nose in tho whale's side.
The latter doubled up like a jackkuife,
and with a tremendous licave threw
tho swordfisli clear of the water. As
he came up those on tho Benbridgi ;
saw the sword, which was still buried
in the whale's side, snap off like s
pieco of kindling wood close to the
swordfish's nose. For a moment lit !
darted hither and thither on tho suv.
face of tbo water, apparently unable-;
to steer himself with tho balance o)
his natural appendage removed, and
then, plunging beneath tho surface,
was seen no more. The whale was
evidently done for, writhing anc '
thrashing and spouting blood and '
water until the sea all around him was
a mass of ruddy foam. Gradually his
struggles became fainter, and al '
length ho lay still on tho water, cvi
dently dead or nearly so.

The wind suddenly increased to a

struck the ship on the night of Novem

the mountain of water approaching,
jumped into cabin to escape it, and,
after that nobody has any clear idea ol
what happened, but the conditions of
the cabins seems to indicate that the
vessel turned completely over. The
men in their berths were hurled out
on the floor, and with stoves, sea ;

For three minutes the schooner re- |

rucrcaae In Train Hauls.
| Till- Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
! now reaping the benefits of the im
provements that halve been made to
the property since John K. Cow en and
Oscar C. Murray were appointed Re
ceivers. It was stated by a noted
critic of railway operations a few
months ago that If the Receivers suc
ceeded in increasing: the train haul per
1 ton per mile to 300 that they could be j
commended for having spent so much I
j money in buying new locomotives. I
I straightening: curves, lowering grades
| and laying new rail. Since June 30th a |
' lareful record has been kept and the !
! results have been more than gratifying I
to the management. Before new loco
j motives were purchased, before track
1 improvements were made and before
the tonnage system of loading trains
v. as udopted, the average train haul
! per ton per mile on the Baltimore and
, Ohio Railroad was less than 225 tons
i and some old employees think it did j
1 not exceed 300 tons. There are no fig
j ures for comparison but in July the j
j average was 324.76, in August 3AC.;i and .
i in .September 361.4, a very large and
satisfactory increase. The aw rase :
. would have been still largt v but for
the fact that on several divisions, de- j
pending 011 coal for tonnage, 1 ut little
or none was moved owing t. the strike.

A mnu In Pennsylvania Is trying to
make the deepest hole in the world
lie has now bored to a depth of G,OOG
feet, and the machine continues tc
delve deeper every day. Before fall
the bottom of the drill will have reach
ed a depth of over HUM) feet, or near
ly two miles. The work is under the
supervision of Prof William ITaJlook.
of Columbia College, and it is being
done for a very strange purpose. Deep
holes are usually bored for water oi
for gas or oil, and sometimes to pros
pect for minerals of various kinds, but
Prof. Halloek is mining for heat. As
every one knows, the interior of the
earth is a burning, fiery furnace, and it
is Prof. Hallock's theory that if he can

Will Locate a Capital.
Government proposes to found a
city In Alaska known as "Weare" on
the Yukon River between the boundary
line of British Columbia and St. Ml*

capital of the contemplated new terri

The Caretaker.
Caretaker is a word adopted into
modern use and means one who takes
care of, and is very generally applied
to those employed to take care of things
committed to their keeping. The way
some people have of taking care of
themselves is very suggestive of the
need of a caretaker. The human body
to such is a mansion filled with pre
cious things uncared for, where thieves
may break in and rust doth corrupt.
Pains and aches are thieves, and the
body left uncared for to their spoilage
will be robbed of all its comforts and
despoiled of its peace of mind and hap'
pincss. It is a happy thought to look
upon St. Jacobs Oil as a caretaker, to
employ it as a watchman against such
intruders. There is hardly an ache,
lrom a tootharh" to a loeache, that it
can't take care of and effect a cure, and
! pains the most violent are conquered
by its use. its oftlce as a caretaker is
to prevent the spread of aches anc*.
pains into a chronic stage. Keep a bot
j tie of it in the handiest place and be
assured of good care and comfort.
