It is now ' twenty-seven years ago since I made my first des- eent, when little more than a big sad. We were engaged in salVing a ship which containecr a lot of bullion ciff the coast of Ireland, and our sec- ond, diver got badly injured by the tido against the ship. I was thought ,too thexperienced to go down below, but as the illness of the diver was a serious xi:latter, and as I was keen on the lob, I was allowed to try; Well, I cau assure you it wasn't an altogether pleasant experience to feel oneself sinking to the bottom in ,s about ten or twelve fathoms of Wa- tor.

'We were em- ployed by the mother of the owner, who was an only son. and as soon as the news of the disaster came to England we were dispatched with all our gear (except boats) overland. The job must have cost $8,000 or $3,500 first and last. We found the aedy without much difficulty—the yacht lay in about eight fathoms in one of the little bays along the Ita- lian Riviera—and in the young fel- lOW'ri arms, in the cabin, was clasp- ed the body of a beautiful young woman he had carried away from Paris, This fact, I may say, was never allowed to got into the papers, both I and ray mate being well paid to hold our tongues at the time. bad a job at the Tay Bridge, continued the speaker, and never want another like it.

The requirements of a nation that is to win a war are, it is stated, three in number—money, brains, and bra.very. it has been the custom to assume that what Englishmen la.clsed in the second qualification they made, up by possession of the last to an unusual degree. The' writer believes this is a misteke that may some day lead to disaster. "The Mat really is that we have lost, as a nation, that absolute fear- lessnese that we once possessed." There is a "rot" in the national spirit, a lack of self-sacrificing pat- riotism.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There in only one way to cure deafness. and that is by constitutional remedies.. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tubo is in- flamed you have a runibling Bound or imperfect hearing, and when it is efl. tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its norm- al condition, hearing; will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caus- ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed' condition of the mucous surfaces.

The food of childhood often de- cides whether one is to grow up well nourished and healthy or weak and sickly from improper food. It's just as easy to be one as the other provided we get a proper start. A wise physician like the Denver Doctor who knew about food, can accomplish wonders provided the pa- tient is willing to help and will eat only proper food. Speaking of this case the Mother said her little four year old boy was suffering from a peculiar derange-, ment of the stomach, liver and kid- neys and his feet became so swollen he couldn't take a step.
