Two ounces of impure soap. Ask for the Octagon Bar. If HIS TONIC. A college professor, feeling indisâ€" posed, consulted. his physician,a Ger- man, very scientific and acknowledgâ€" ed as one of the leading men in his line. The doctor advised the'prof lessor to.,,work less at the desk, ex‘ ercise more outdoors, and take beer as a tonic, something the professor had never cared for The doctor met his patient a few days later as he Was leaVing the clllege, and stopped to inquire how hf, was feeling. "About the some,” replied the pro- lessor. "Did you take the. beer as I di- rected?” inquired the physician. "Yes,”- replied the professor; "I took it a few times, but it became l0 nauseous that I had to discontinâ€" ue it.” “How much did you take?” "Why, I bought a whole bottle, and took a spoonful before eaCh meal," answered the professor. SHE AGREED WITH HIM. “Oh, I can’t sing,” pleaded a young man Wha femininely wanted to » be coaxed before gratifying his and- itors. - “Yes, you can. I have heard two or three of my friends say so,” per- sisted a pretty girl to whom he had been talking. , “No, I can’t," he repeated, getting up to go to the piano. “Yes, you can; go on, and please," she urged. He said he couldn’t two or three limes more, but he went ahead, and [or ten minutes his voice was the most prominent thing in the room. I‘hen he came back, smiling, to the lady. “Ah,” she said, wearily, “thanks. You were quite right about the singâ€" sing, lng.” His face clouded, and' he never Fpoke again to the girl who agreed With him.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in- flamed you have arumbling sound or imper foot hearing. and when it is out rely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflam- mation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal conditiz'n, hearing will be do» strayed forever; nino eases out of ten are mused by eltarrh, which is nothing but 1min- flamed condition of the mucous surface".

REDUCES EXPENSE AN OLD DRAFT. A pretty anecdote comes from Brussels illustrating the generous spirit of a banker of that city The banker is fond of outdoor exâ€" ercise. As an exhibition of his skill in skating, he made his autograph on the ice in a very artistic manner. Some gentlemen, having admired his signature proceeded to write above it as foIIOWS: "0n demand I promise to pay for the, benefit of the poor the sum of 5,000 marks." - They sawed out the block of ice, and .having called a cab, proceeded to the bank and carried the frozen note of handâ€"of foot. we meanâ€"to the cashier's counter. The cold temperature happily preâ€" vented the melting away of the icy draft, and the banker, having been appealed to, ordered it to be paid. To CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.
