Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion /6f\ the ear. There is only one way to> cure deafness, 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 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. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

Averts Awful Tragedy. Timely advice given Mrs. C. Willoughby of Marengo, Wis., (R. No. 1) prevented a dreadful tragedy and saved two lives. Doctors had said her frightful cough was a “consumption” cough and could do little to help her. After many remedies failed, her aunt urged her to take Dr. Kink’s New Discovery. “I have been using it for some time,” she wrote, “and the awful cough has almost gone. It saved my little boy when taken with a severe bronchial trouble.” This matchless medicine has no equal for throat and lung troubles. Price 50c and SI.OO. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by A. F.

Black Velvet Foliage.

Now that fruit is one of the most popular forms of bat trimming we have gone in for foliage extensively. The new kind is made of black velvet. The oak leaf is quite fashionable; also the wide leaves of fruit trees. The velvet used is rather thin and is applied to green or black rubber stems. It is often used to trim a hat without the addition of anything else. It is especially effective on all white hats, as the magpie combination does not decrease in popularity as the season rolls on. In truth, it is more in evidence than ever.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Cards and Candles. If a party of guests are invited for Halloween a card and a candle should be provided for each one invited, the candles in as many different colors as possible and the cards decorated in ribbons of corresponding colors. one color for girls and the other color for boys. On the cards future events may be told in rhyming couplets. such as these: Who gets the candle colored red Will have long life, but never wed. If you choose the candle green You’ll have the prettiest wife e’er seen. Each guest should take a card and a candle. The base of the candle having been warmed, it will stick to the card, and by the light of the candle the couplet on the card should be read. And, having read it, hold the card and candle at arm’s length and try to blow out the light it is said that if the light is extinguished on the first trial the person will be married within a year, x The Perplexing Hunt Prizes are hidden mysteriously about the house. The seeker for a prize is guided from place to place by some such rhyme as the following: Perhaps you’ll And it in the air. If no, look underneath your chair. Beneath bis chair he’ll find these lines: No; you will not find it here. Search the clock and have no fear. Under the clock he finds: You will have to try once more.’ Look behind the parlor door. Tied to the doorknob he discovers: If it’s not out in the stable. Seek beneath the kitchen table. Under the kitchen table he’ll find this: If your request remains uncertain. You will find it ’neath the certain. And here his hunt is rewarded by finding a nonsensical souvenir appropriate to Halloween.

A Halloween Game. . Floating needles is a good Hallow een game. The needles must be greased or dipped into sweet oil. Small pieces of tissue paper are then floated in a basin of water, and each one carefully lays his or her needle on a piece of the paper. When the paper becomes thoroughly wet it will sink, the needles remaining floating on the surface of the water by reason of the coating of oil on theta. Capillarity makes the needles act peculiarly, some, rushing to tbe edge of the basin, others attracted to each other and still others repelled from each other, and the way your needle acts toward the others is supposed to be prophetic of your fate, as, of course, the needles are all named. For the Magician. Almost ail boys are called upon once in awhile to perform some interesting trick for the amusement or mystification of their friends. One of the simplest of these—one of the easiest for a boy to do on short notice—is the coin bell trick, for whose performance are required only an ordinary water glass, a thread, a quarter of a dollar and some sealing wax. Fasten tbe coin to tbe thread with the wax. Then place the elbow on a foot rule and suspend tbe coin by the thread so that it falls in tbe opening of the glass. Without moving the arm or the hand the coin will presently begin to swing.—Grit. Halloween’s Fortune. An amusing game for Halloween is to place three soup dishes or bowls on a table, one of which you leav£ empty; into another you put clear water, and into the third, soapy water. Each person present is in turn blindfolded, and after the dishes have been moved so as to change their positions the blindfolded one is led forward, and told to dip his finger into one of the dishes. If it is in the clear water dish he will be happily married, if in the soap water he will have many trials, and if in the empty dish he will never be married.

Origin of Certain Names. Valley Forge.—Village in Chester county. Pa., so named because it is situated at the mouth of Valley creek, where a forge was erected by Isaac Potts before the Revolution. Wheeling.—City in Ohio county, W. .Va.. from the Indian weal-ink. meaning a “place of a human head.” from the circumstance of the Indians having displayed the head of a white man on a pole at this point. Another authority gives whilink. “at the head of the river.”—Bulletin United States Geological Survey. “ Witch’s Cave. For a Halloween party try a •‘witch’s 'cave." Use evergreen and asparagus and chrysanthemums to form a bower, which should lie lighted with dim jack-o-lanterns. The witch, dressed in red and in uncanny things of various sorts, will present each one with a tall lighted candle and a paper funnel. Through the latter each one must try to blow out the candle flame after having made a wish. If successful the wish will come true. This is not as easy as it looks, you will find. Hidden Fortunes. A delightful surprise for Halloween guests can be provided as follows: r-; Write on slips of paper various fortunes. one on each, with sympathetic ink or simple lemon Sluice. Secrete these pieces of paper in nutshells and present to your guests. Tell them to bold the papers over a candle flame. - Then, to their surprise, the heat will cause each blank paper to exhibit an unlooked for fortune.
