There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by oonetitional remedies.
Deafness is paused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
taonian Tub.. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
naless the in$ammetion oan be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for-
ever; nine oasee out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing bat an in-
flammed condition of the mucous stir.

SIR WiLFRID'S GOOD FORTUNE.
Saturday News (Edmonton) : It is
quite sate to say that the present reoi.
prooity agitation has had the effeot of
making the return of the Oonservatives
to power at the next general election an
impossibility. Yet till it arose every-
thing was tending to the defeat of the
ad ministration.
Praotioally its whole asset was Sir
Wilfrid's personal prestige. The calibre
of the men with whom he was surround-
ed has constantly deteriorated, This
has been particularly the ease in the
West which after the oensue next Jane
will elect a considerably larger number
of members, The torose of Liberalism
were becoming badly disintegrated. In-
ternal dissensions made effective light-
ing out of the question in several of the
provinces. Even in Quebec) where the
the government found its majority,
Drummond and Arthabaska showed
what powerful elements of danger to
the party's supremaoy had arisen.
Bat the folly of the Opposition's
course on the reoiprooity issue has
changed the fade of ;hinge. It has had
the effect of lining up behind the ad-
ministration those old-time Liberals
whose steady detection in the years that
have passed since 1896 has been the
chief source of peril. It has enabled the
government to pose ae a friend of low
tariff a principles, while a; the same time
it has not been required to deprive the
protectionist, among its supporters of
she fiscal privileges whioh they have en-
joyed nnder the Liberals regime.
If an election were to be held imme-
diately and, in view of what is being
paid about the government's having no
mandate to enter into the negotiations,
it would not be at all surprising if an
appeal to the people were decided Upon.
The Satntdav News le firmly convinced
that Sir Wilfrid oonld at least double
his majority. All that would be neoes•
eery for the Liberal speakers to do
would be to recite Prof. Leacock'$ ar-
titles On the ;;rime of allowing the Cana-
dian producer to get a good prioe for hid
commodities in the American market
and some of the newspaper editorials
and parliamentary rpeeohee along the
same line in order to sweep Constituency

Dr. Jacques Bertillon, the Frenoh

that matrimony is the greatest aid to
longevity. This, he says, is eetabliehed
by statistics gleaned from all over the
world. A married man or woman has

to look out for a new partner ---that is,
if they are under 60. This ie his advloe
to young men: "Marry; you will do

But watoh carefully over your wife's
health, se even from this egotistidal
point of view her loss will be a terrible
misfortune, for your life depends in a

thought you said this statue a was;
perfect, yet there are only four toes
on the left foot!" It was perfectly
true. Yet the missing toe, from the
peculiar position of the foot, had en-
tirely escaped the notice, not only of
the artist, but all his friendly : Mies,,
So disgusted was the artist with this
amazing discovery that he raised his,
mallet above this head and, beioro he
could be stopped by his friends, smash-
ed the beautiful statuette to frag-
ments.
London has been talking lately about
the pictures at the Grafton Gallery by.
the School of French painters who.
call themselves Post -Impressionists.
These men go considerably farther in
their contempt for all art conventions -
that the lntpressionists who preceded
them, and of whom Claude Monet waa
the great leader, But Monet v. as by
no means a slap -dash painter, and even
when he had won his way, not only
into the Salon but into the Louvre,.
and when his pictures were going up.
in price by leaps and bounds, he volun-
tarily and deliberately destroyed, $20,
000 worth, because he did not con-
sider them worthy of him or likely iii,
the future to enhance his reputation.
Rejected by the Academy
There was no _more patient, pains-
taking, or conscientious painter ever
lived in the world than Holman Hunt.
He thought nothing of spending years
Over one` canvas, and of travelling
thousands of miles for his local color:
He fixed up his easel on the aria
shores of the Red Sea in order to paint
"The Scapegoat," and he travelled
through all the cities and villages of
Palestine to find a suitable model for
his "Shadow of Death," and, after
spending seven years on his ;treat pic-
ture, "The Triumph of the Innocents,"
he calmly set to work to paint it alt
over again.
It was no unusual thing with Mil-
lais, if he did not get the exact effect
he wanted, to destroy, by a few strokes
of his brush, the result of weeks of
hard work, and many an artist whose
picture, upon which much loving care'
had been spenizhas been rejected by
the Royal Academy has destroyed it
upon its return to the studio. Even a
famous artist who became an R.A. did
this very thing. He says: "When my
'Hamlet and Ophelia' was rejected by
the Academy, I was so disgusted with.
it that I tore it into strips and watched
it disappear in the flames." The
artist who thus used his picture so
badly was Mr. Briton Riviere.
COMMERCIAL SLANG
Some Odd Expressions Used in Great
Britain to Describe Salesmen

the itinerant "ender of stationery is a
"creamdaid cruiser," Of oil a "fat -
forcer," and a coffee traveller le a
"mahogany converter."
