In the few Instances where It falls, the auditory nerve has been completely destroyed.

FAIRBANKS AND FLEMING ANGELS FOR B. SH1VELY (Continued From Page One.) bill is that it provides especially that the license laws and the Moore re monstrance law shall remain in full force and effect. The township and ward local, option bill provides that a local option shall be called whenever 85 per cent ot the voters of any ward or township petition for it, though not oftener than every two years. The caunty option law only requires the signatures of twenty percent of the voters. If any ward or township shall vote itself wet it shall not destroy the right of remonstrance against any in dividual that may apply for a license. Repeal Quite Probable. There is pretty good ground for the belief that the county option law will be repealed, but there is strong doubt about the enactment of the ward and township law. It cannot be passed without the aid of republican votes, and it is believed Improbably that re publicans will vote with the democrats and assist them to carry out their campaign pledges. One of the important bills in yes terday's batch was one introduced by Senator Stotsenburg , to change the system of governing cities having from 20,000 to 35.000 population, ac cording to the last census. Stotsen burg believes the cost of managing these cities is too high and that bet ter results could be obtained if all tneir city orncers and ornces were abolished and the government turned over into the hands of a commission consisting of five members. These commissioners would be the absolute rulers of the city. The plan is in force in Galveston. Texas, says Stotelnburg and is proving a success in every way. Other cities, he says, also are about to take the matter up with a view to changing their system of government.

government is divided into as many

departments as there are commission ers.' Each commissioner is placed in charge of a department and is the real head of it, too. - The commissioners do not interfere with each other in the management of their respective departments, but they have board meetings each day and discussthe affairs of all the departments. Roggen's Bill Odd One. Representative Roggen. of Allen county, came through with a peculiar looking bill to regulate the licensing of retail liquor, places. It provides that not only saloons but restaurants and cafes may be licensed to sell intoxicating liquors at retalL The ap plicant must first apply to the council. In towns he would apply to the town board and in the country he would apply to the township trustee. He would pay all the way from $150 to $300 for such concession to the Board of County Commissioners, and the board would be compelled to is sue to him a license to sell liquors at retail at the place for which the concession has been granted. Roggen's bill provides that theYe shall be not more than one concession granted for each 500 of population. Got Idea in Germany. Roggen says he got the idea in Ger many. He thinks It is good enougn to try in this country. He said there was no one back of him in the matter of this bill. Representative Wells, of Fort Wayne, introduced a bill that will meet with much favor. It provides that where a city is constructing an improved street no bids shall be re ceived nor no contract let until after the material has been selected. An effort was made two years ago to get through an amendment to the cities and towns law to this effect, but it failed. This time, however, there is a belief that the, bill will pass. Un der the present law the bids are re ceived on several kinds of street ma terial and the property owners do not select the kind of material they want on the street until the bids are in so they can see just what the improve ment will cost. If It Disappears, It's Eczema. How to Tell Whether a Skin Affec tion is an Inherited Blood Disease or Not. Sometimes It is hard to determine whether a skin affection is a sign of a blood disorder or simply a form of eczema. Even physicians are often puzzled in their diagnosis. The best way for any one afflicted is to go to W. H. Sudhoffs or any good druggist who handles pure drugs and obtain 50 cents' worth of poslam. Apply this, and if the itching stops at once and the trouble is .cured in a few days it may be set down as having been eczema, as this is the way poslam acts in the worst cases of eczema, and in cur ing acne, herpes, blotches, tetter, piles, salt rheum, rash, barber's and other forms of itch, scaly scalp, and all surface skin affections. Those who will write to the Emer gency Laboratories, No. 32 West Twenty- fifth Street, New York, can secure, by mail free of charge, a sup ply sufficient to cure a small eczema surface or clear, a complexion over night and remove pimples in twentyfour hours. WAYS OF THE TOAD. f the Oddities of This Peculiar Cratsur. It is remarkable that the toad, loving water as It does, should wander away from watery regions to dry ground, where it can never see a drop of water except at rain time and leave its water rights to the undisputed possession of its ranal neighbor the frog. How the toad loves water must be known to every garden lover. Whenever there is a. shower the creature leaves ita cool retreat nnder the piazza or shed and stands as far as its fore legs will let it, erect in the rain, apparently enjoying to the utmost the shower bath. Whenever they art near the water at breeding time they deposit long, slimy string of eggs, and the young toad has to go through the tadpole stage in common with his brother frog. But when they are wholly excluded by distance from the water they seem to have the power of being viviparous, or bringing forth their young alive. In the water fertilization is effected in the same manner as in fishes, but the method in the land life career is not known. About all that is known Is that confined toads are found with little toads, no larger than house flies, about them after a time, and in walled gardens and places far removed from water little toads, no larger than peas, wandering around on their own resources and which could never have been tadpoles, are within common excellence. Only about one-third of the land of India is under cultivation. A portion oft heother two-thirds Is taken up by rivers, lakes, woods, uncultivatable hills or sandy or stony plain.,'towns etc. But much of the unused land might be very productive if properly managed and especially if irrigated India is rich in agricultural sources if they are properly developed. It doubtless has rich mines of ore yet to be' discovered. Alcohol Is a Preservative, Alcohol is recognised the world over as the proper, most efficient and wholesome preserver of medicinal compounds, and while some journalists try to alarm the world by the cry that patent "medicines contain more alcohol than beer" they neglect to state that proprietary medicines are taken in dosea from a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful, while beer is a beverage - that is - consumed in quantities from a glass to several quarts a day. Lydia EL PInkham's Vegetable Compound contains only 18 aclohol. simply enough to preserve the roots and herbs from which it is made, and may be relied upon by every woman in the land as a reliable, honest and ; sure rwmedv for the ills peculiar to bar aex.

BANK VAULTS. Precautions For the Purpose of Foiling the Cracksmen. Many banks, especially thoM In cities, have their vaults protected by an elaborate system of concealed wires connected to a central office not so far away, so that the least tampering with the combination lock or any attack upon the door or walls will give the alarm at the central office, where men are waiting day and night to run to the rescue. The exact method and devices that are used are j kept rather secret, for fear the bur- j glare themselves might learn too much about them, but it may be explained j that one part of the apparatus is an j extremely sensitive relay located at i the central office. This delicate instrument closes a local circuit which sounds the alarm the moment there Is the slightest disturbance of the hidden wins at and near the vault, so that a gang of burglars could hardly get to work with their drills and their nitroglycerin before the officers of the law would be upon them. In addition to protecting vaults and safes from the direct attacks of robbers, electricity afford another safeguard by furnishing light .which floods the premises with its searching beams. Indeed, many banks, stores and warehouses rely mainly upon the electric light, without which the thickest walls and the strongest and most complicated locks would be useless. They turn it on at night and leave their window shutters wide open, so that the Interior may be In full view of the policeman or watchman passing the windows all night. This makes it practically impossible for lawbreakers to work unseen. To protect the money windows of banks the teller behind the window has a concealed push button at hand, oftentimes placed under the counter where he can touch it unobserved. If any one tries to steal any money, the teller can call an officer Instantly In this way. The circuit is sometimes ar ranged to close the bank doors also by n electrically operated mechanism before the thief has time to get to them rnd escape. Harper's Weekly. WHERE RICH MEN ARE FEW. They Aro as Scare, as Black Swans In Bulgaria Bulgaria is the nearest approach to a peasant commonwealth which the world has known in modern times. There Is not a Bulgarian Slav who is not the owner of a plot of land upon which he lives and out of which be gets his own livelihood by his own labor. Large landowners are almost unknown. The few men . of wealth In the country are mostly of foreign birth or descent, and even they would not be counted as wealthy according to the standard of other European countries. The small landowners, who form the vj.st majority of the population, are peasant born and peasant bred. Tht-y are extremely thrifty. They are content with very plain food. They wear the same sheepskin garments from year to year, only turning their coats Inside out with the changes of the pea son. Whole families, even of well to do peasants, sleep in the same room upon , mats stretched out on the floor. They live under conditions of dirt and discomfort which no British or German ; tor French laborer would tolerate for j a week. Yet. notwithstanding tblr ; disregard of the simplest sanitary arrangements, they grow up singularly strong and healthy. Moreover, they are free from the Irritation caused among other laborers, overworked if not underpaid, by the oectacle of neighbors living in affiuwice and ease without any necessity fo curtail their expenditure. Rich men are black swans in Bulgaria- I was tV5 by a foreign banker in Sofia who had traded for many years in the country that .he doubted greatly whether there were fifty men in all the rural districts who had net incomes of $5,000 a year.

OLD WHEAT A Once Popular Feast. In the Pennsylvania Mountains. GONE WITH THE WOODSMEN. The People. Traditions and Associations That Made It Possible Are No More, and It Joins In Oblivion the Apple Cut and Quilting Boo. "It isn't because there Is no more material in the Blue mountain region of Pennsylvania to provide a turkey eat that we have had the last of those famous festivities," said a former dweller of the district described, "for there are still wild turkeys a-plenty. "The turkey eat has gone out with the passing of the people whose homes, traditions and manner of life made It possible and with the occupation that was once theirs. "In the days when the turkey eat was the great winter festivity in the mountain districts between the Schuylkill and the Juniata watersheds the sparse population was chiefly of rude and rugged woodmen and their families, many of them descendants of pure Pennsylvania Dutch stock. Scores of them depended almost entirely on their skill with gun and trap for their ! food supply. "The cabins of these mountaineers were built of logs, the chinks between which were filled in with clay. A huge stone chimney rose at one end of the cabin outside, covering that entire end, while on the Inside it opened on a broad fireplace across that end of the 'room. "The cabin was banked all around with earth, against which hemlock and pine boughs were heaped. Sometimes rows of cord wood were piled up almost to the eaves, the better to keep out the cold, which is always Intense during winter on those Wind swept hills, "There was rarely a cabin with more than one room. The walls were dark I and smoky, and from rafter or beam hung plentifully strips of Jvrked venlj son and chunks of smoked bear meat, along with hams and bacon from the family pigs fattened in the woods and almost as .wild as the bear and the deer. But the choicest and best boloved thing of the cabin's larder was the fat and well frozen wOd turkey. "While the woodsman's cabin was always prepared for a turkey eat. it never knew when It was coming. A turkey eat began with the making np of a party in a neighboring Tillage or settlement. Taking along a fiddler, they would appear at this, thst or the other woodsman's cabin of a winter evening, and the woofisman and his family did the rest.
