by local applications, .is they cannot rea':h the diseased portion of the car. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is hy constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con¬ dition of the mucous lining of the ICus tachian tube. When this tube is inllain- cd you have a rumbling sound or ini¬ iierfect hearing, and when it is eniirely closed ileafness is the result, ami unless llie inflaiiiiiiation can be taken out and this lube restored lo its normal conililion hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine ca.ses out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but au inflamed eomli¬ tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give Jkjo for any case of deaf¬ ness (cause,! by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. .Sen,I for circulars, free.

The vested choir bad been in careful traininu for several weeks, under lbe supervision of Mr. I>Miey Baker. The rhurch looked at Its best in its dress of greens and holly, adorned with many randies. The prif- cesi'ional and reiessional hymns were rendered while marching thnugh the church, before a large congregation. Two anilnriis were sung during the service— "We Have Seen His Star in the Kasl," and "liiessed Be the Ixird Ood of I-rael."

— It is estimated that the loss in wages to the rhila<lelphia strikers was over fSo.oixj. This sum would have filled the stockings of many of the children of tlie strikers on Christnias eve, and pro¬ vided the tables of thtir families with a plump turkey Ijeside. The city will pay the iosites sustained by the railway com¬ panies, but the wages of the striking motormen and conductors are lost for¬ ever.
