COLD AND RAIN.
About 9 o'clock in the morning a
tremor, slightly Jarring the build-
ings, occurred. This lusted two or
three seconds only, end as no dam-
age was dorso the inhabitants were
not -greatly alarmed. A half hour
later the same phenomenon was so-
peated, and was inunediatoly follow-
ed by a terrine shock, which swayed
the buildings to and fro and over-
threw many walls. The city was at
once in wild dismay. Lavery one
who could get out of doors rushed
to the streets anti open spaces and
,awaited in terror what aright yet
occur.
The sound of failing Walls was ev-
erywhere hoard for the next half
hour, for the rain of many buildings
which had not been overthrown was
completed by their own weight, that
could not be supported on the now
unstable foundations.
Half an hour later came another
terrible shock that completed the
ruin of the city. Almost all of the
buildings that had sheltered 46,000
souls and the fine structures'. that
had been erected by Russians in the
businois districts wee now nothing
but beeps of ruins. The beautiful
stone buildings occupied by the Rus-
sian -Chinese )lank, the railroad sta-
tion, the barracks of the Ituseian
garrison and all tho other conspicu-
ous structures were reduced to heaps
of ruins. Many of the steel rails of
the railroad track were twisted as
though they were nothing but wire.
'PL° notion was vertical and terri-
bly severe. Wagons, timbers and
stone were projected into the air
and many of the vehicles wero thus
hl oken to pieces on the streets.
For about ftMLcen minutes after the
"e onil sheets many other Mocks of
,tiniost equal severity occurred, de-
stroying the few buildings that had
still kept erect on their founde-
d ors.
Tilit WHOLE cATASTROP13E
occupied about an hour, and while
11; continued a most unearthly s.ub-
torrnnenn rumbling noise accom-
panied the coltvalsions of the sul'-
face. A torrential rtLin beat 'down
upon rho scene of desolation and a
furious i'ainstoviu swept bits of the
ruins and everything it could move
before it.
A number of acts of heroism
among the °Mears and soldiers of
the Russian garrison were rocorcled,
Capt. Toutchkof and Lieut. Ghor't-
sollno refused to leave their ruined
bzsiraielrs until .the last of their
wounded soldiers had been removed.
They were in the barracks when the
eecond shod: occurred and the cap-
tain was dangerously hurt.
A sentinel named Sascnouk, who
was guarding the flag and the.
strongbox of the military, tuns 1,nhn-
jurecl by the first shocks, but refus-
ed to leave his post until 110 was
relieved by his superior o'ihleer, and
was so badly hurt later that he had
to be carried front tho ruine, Sub-
altern Khaline remained at the risk
of his life to save the wounded 'sold-
iers andprisoners. I3e found. an
opening in one of the walls, through
which, by means of a ladder, the
wounded men were passed ono by
one outside the ruins,
Another soldier succeeded in pro-
viding guns for the military patrol,
that was needed to beep order after
the calamity, by rushing into a
building theft threatened every. 1110-
m;ont to fall and throwing sixty,
rifles through a window h.tc• the
street. The Czar of Ruseia has spe-
cially commended those and other

Deafness Cannot 13e Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There ,s only 0110 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 Inflam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or im-
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, noiseless is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will bo destroyed for-
ever. Nino cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous ser-
vices.
We will give Ono Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (causedby catarrh)
that cannot bo cured by Hall's Catarrh

that a new means has been discover-

analysis of alcohol, efforts have bran
made to perfect and simplify the

poured a solution of hydrosuper-

hydrogen. Soon the sliver of the
plate works upon this peroxide and
produces a catalytic dissolution
wherever there is silver, while in the
places free from silver the peroxide
remains. By this means en invisible
picture of hydrosuporoxido is pro-
duced upon the plate. This picture
can be printed from the plate direct-

COURAGE AND ILLNESS,

Illness is very like e cowardly cur

that of seeking the fearful ones—if
you pass on umtotichig, but cour-
ageous, The reasons for the ability
of bravo amen to go unharmed
through pest hospitals, as diel Na-
poleon, and as physicians do every
day, are not only psychological but
physiological,
Tho quality of mere courage seems
to have a sort of pickling and hard-
ening erred upon tho tissues of the
body, like the plunge in brine, steel-
ing
teeling them against infection ;. while
fear, by "unstringing" the norvos,
weakens the whole resisting power of
the body, inviting' the very evil
feared most.
bear weakens tho heart's action,
induces congestion, invites indiges-

i g
inotliue of auto -poisoning, which
either directly causes or greatly aids

the ' production of quite 00
cent, of all our diseases.
In recognizing this law, however,
it is just as well to terry 111 a small

by the competitors in question.
Mr. H. M. E. Evans, of the Winnipeg Telegram, has kindly consented to judge
the advertisements and award prizes.
All advertisements that fail to win a prize, bast which
are good enough to be accepted for publication
will be paid for at the rate of $1.00 each.
Unless expressly requested to the contrary, we will consider ourselves at liberty
to publish the names of prize winners.
A:good advertisement should be truthful and contain an idea brightly and
forcibly expressed. A bona fide signed letter with address and date from one who
has tested the tea, is a good form. An advertisement for an article of food should
not associate with it, even by contrast, any unpleasant idea. The best advertise.
mcnt is the one that will induce the most people to try the article advertised.
