Deafness Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they cannot rsach tbe diseased portion of tbe ear. Tbere is only one way to cure Dealtieas, and tbat is by constitutional remudiee. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi¬ tion of the mucous lining of the Eustach¬ ian tube. When this tabe gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result and unless the in¬ fiammation can be taken out and this tube restored to ita normal condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con¬ dition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused bv catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F.J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo, 0.

Write for terms and ttrritorv to THE HAWKS NURSERY CO., mar 7 <m ROCHESTER, N. Y. mar'tt A Silk ITiiflerthresd and Only a Thin Oold Coating. The thread of which gold lace Is made consists of a deep yellow or orange col¬ ored silk, gilded in snch a raanuer that it retains sufficient flezibilicy to under¬ go the operation of weaving. This ia effected by a process called "fiber plat¬ ing," carried ont in the following man¬ ner: A rod of ^silver is gilded by simply pressing and burnishing leaves of gold npon it. This gilded silver is theit drawn throngh a series of holes of de¬ creasing diameter into a wire so line that one onnce is cxtende<l the length of 1,500 yards. It is then flattened be¬ tween polished Rteel rollers and further extended, so tbaC^ a niiW and a quarter weighs but one ounce. For this last drawing tbe wire ti passed throagh ruby dies. The illm of gold npon the flattened wiro is much thinner than beaten gold leaf and has frequently lieen quoted as an example of tho divisibility of matter, oue inch of the wire contain¬ ing but the eighty-millionth part of an onnce of gold, while ono ounce of gold covers mure thau 100 miles of wire. This flattened gilded wire is then wound over the silk fo as to inclose it com¬ pletely and produco an apparently gold¬ en thread. It is estimated that 250,000 ounces of gold thread are annually made in Great Britain. How to Make S«ratog:s Potatoes.

To every quart of this add from 10 to 15 droi>s of a saturated solution of indigo complete¬ ly neutral. After applying this dya to the wood rub the latter with a saturated and filtered solution of verdigris lu hof concentrated acetic iicid and repeat the operation until a black of the desired intensity is obtained.

When waves advance toward the shore, their circumstances change, in general gradually, from those cf oscilla¬ tory waves to thoee of waves of transi¬ tion, as tho depth of the water becomes less and less cousiderablo in comparison with the length of the wave, aud it ia found by cziwriment that they break, as It is called, when tho depth of the wa¬ ter is about equal to the height of tho crest above tbe undisturbed l^veL How to Estimate tbe Valae oJ a Pearl. The beauty and value of pearls de¬ pend on their color, form, texture (stin), transparency (water) and Inster. A pearl to be perfect must possess the fol¬ lowing qualifications: It must be per¬ fectly round or drop shaped, bave a per¬ fectly pure white color, must be slight¬ ly transparent, free from specks, spota or blemishes and must possess the pe¬ culiar luster characteristic of the gem. A perfect pearl of ono grain weight is worth from 40 to 50 cents, while one of 30 grains is worth from $400 to |500. Round pearls abovo this weight are so rare that tbey command exceptional prices, depending ou the circumstances of the sale to bring almost any figure. In India and China the yellow pearla are preferred. flew to Mnke Aspamflms Omelet.

"Nay," responds Lncullns, "it is only John L. Spartacus addressing tbe gladiators in the arena nnd offering to wager 10,000 sesterces against all corn¬ ers."

A Saecessfal Performw,re-The Jenkintowii Lyceam Association Perfornm In the Aiuli¬ lor Opera House Itefore a Ijirge Audi¬ ence. The performance of ".lane" in the .Arabler open house by the .It-nkintown Lyceum asso<nation for the benefit of the North I'enn Republifan clnb of Amblcr, last ThursLiy evening, was witnessed by at least OW persons. The audience was so large that a prominent IX'niocrot of Ambler remarked that there appeared to be a great muny KepnblicJtiis in the town, and even the ladies were leaning that way too, he said, as a cute little girl in the front row hedged up auainst her es¬ cort. The fact of the niatter is that al¬ though almost all the persons from -Amb¬ ler wlio could attend did ao, but a gn-at nuinber of ix-ople came from outside the town. The weather was so fine and spring¬ like and such a contrast from the usual e<iuinoctial atmoepheriail conditioii? tlmt it was almost compulsion that made such a number turn out. Of coun^e we had not forgotten the many good qiiulities which the Jenkintown Lyceum associa¬ tion possessed as amateur jicrforniers, for about a year ago thev performed 'Texas Steer" here for the1»netit of the .Vinbier Mutual Protective aasociation t'efore a large audieuce. Tl) be surt?, the committee having the entertainment in charge, consistii^g. oi Messrs. John S. Buchanan, John I>. Cooper and Walter C. Btck, spared no efforta to sell tickets, and had lefl very few spots ill town which were not cover¬ ed by little "Jane" handbills. Over the pavements, on biil boards, on fenws, on electric light poles, on Mr. Buchaiuin's front steps, on fire plugs, on Mr. Cooper's IIot*l Wyndham and even on wagons were to be seen these handbilKs. In the extent of ticket selliiig.probftbly in no oth¬ er entertainment ever gi\'en iu Ambler, were the seats sold so e.Kten.sively befon; the day of the i)erforiiiance. ' I'eople coming late, or even reaching the box office earlv that evening, were virtually compelle<I to go rijjrht up in the front rows or to take a gallery site, where the sejit.« an.' not aold numerically. Persons who waited to see the kind ofa day found that tliey had forgotten that although the weather'man is a IX'Uiocrat, he had prom¬ ised a fine night. The committee, which hatl laken,every effort for the convenience of theaudieiict?, was largely a.-wisted by the club itself, which rendered material aid to thc com¬ mittee. The 10.20 train wns held fifteen minutes to allow south-going people lo see the last of the jierformance. Shortly after 8 o'clix'k the larj;e orchestra ofthe Lyceum association struck upthe overture, "Tonight We Say Fare¬ well," and soon after Richard L. Weaver, one of the best of amateur banjo perform¬ ers, appeared and played a solo, "Waltz Itexonna." He was loudly applaudwl. The mandolin and guitar trio, Ii. L. Weaver, F. M. Smith and W. K. Smith, then Jierformed, after wliich 11. L. Wcii- ver and F. M. Smith played a banjo dnet. "Jane" itself was thon intro<lHce<J. The details of the famous comedy wc {XJrtray. Charles Shakellon, the leading chanicter of the play, luis U-en dcjH'n- dentona trustee for'funds for years, left in trust by a deceju«ed aunt. Ile was to get a remittance each year, and three years after maniage was to get the entire amount of the princijial. Charles had been deejily in debt and three yeara pre¬ vious to the ojxiiiing of this story had written the trustee that he wa.s married. This gained for him a large adilition to hia yearly income, which he used to jiay some of his most pressing debts. Alxiut a year after the rejwrt of his marriaj.'e he sent word that a child liiul been Ixim. This gained him a greater incfiiue. Now the three years were up and according to the will he would get the fortune of his aunt's, bnt he was very hard pressed for funds at tbis time; he had written his trustee that his wife waa much of asjiend- thrift, and lie must have a remittance in order to jiay these debts. The trustt-e, Jlr. Kershaw, had written that he was coming to see >ir. and Mrs. Shakelton and in four hours afler Cliarles received the letter he wa.<i in Ixmdon. The questioii now arose aa to how a wife was to be secured, IxKause if he failed to have one he would be entirely baiiknipt. He tells his servant, William, who sug¬ gests that he jirocure a wife wilhoul delay. He takes William's advice and abni'jitly asks a young lady, who indig¬ nant y refuses. He then niakt-s a bold front and asks Miss Cliadwicic, who i= represented as lieiug about twice the age of Shakelton. She refuses him when she finds out that lie wani.« her for only four hours. She leaves the room in a jiffy, but relents and return.s. In the lu'sintime Sliakelton lia.s induce<l Jane, his servant, who is married to William, to act as his wife for £100. AVhile the jiair are out getting a suita¬ ble wardrolie for Jane, Mr. Kershaw ap- l>ears and waits for Shakelton aud lii> wife. Miss Chadwick c<>mes into the room and Kershaw takea her for the mother of Mrs. Shakelton. She indig¬ nantly tells him that she is Mrs. Shakel¬ ton and sails out of the hou.se. Mr. and Mrs. Shakelton now arrive iind they greet Mr. Kershaw, who is told that Miss Chadwick ia William's wife. Kershaw is very much i>lea.«ed with Jane and he somewhat forgets his mission, which was to lecture y rs. Shakelton on her extravagance. He hints at it how¬ ever and Jane bursts out crying in his arms. This wins the pity of Kershaw, who at once relents. -At lunch Jane acts very rudely, whicli keejRj .Shakelton explaining the many oddities of his wife. .Mr. Kershaw now casts a thunderbolt at the imjiosters by asking afler the baby. I^h one is sur- prisetl, for in their excitement and hurry they had forgotten to account for this imjiosition. Shakelton satisfactorily ex¬ plains that the nurse was so fond of the "dear little creature" that she keeps it almost continually at her home, but he Eroniises that Kershaw shall see it before e departs. Kershaw goes to the city for a few hours to bank and to buy presents for the little one. In the meantime a baby is borrowed from a Mr. and Mrs. I'ixton, and when Kershaw returns he finds the baby awaiting his many presents. In the evening, ju-st before Kershaw's dejiarture, Mr. and Mrs. Shakelton pre- jiare for the theatre, but Kershaw is greatly exercised over the leaying of the baby." Mra. I'ixton arrives lo claim her liaby, thinking that it has been loaned long enough. AVhile 3Ir. and Mrs. Shakelton are ont of the room, AA'illiam, who can stand the racket no longer, and being jealons of the ado made over his wife, tells Kershaw everjthing, and Mr. and Mrs. llxton's coming just at this time seems to confirm everything. AA'hen Shakelton hears that his secret is out he admits all and givea upas loat. Mr. Kershaw goes to see his solicitor, but returns and forgives alL Shakelton then introduces Kershaw to his be¬ trothed, Lucy Norton, and AA'illiam pub¬ licly- claims Jane as his wife.

The tronjie is clearly the equal of any which haa over been in the ojiera house, and a inarke<l improvement in their work was notice<l over the production of "Texas Steer." James N. Spencer, the manager of the Strolling Players, admitted that the players of the'Jenkintown Lyceum asso¬ ciation were very clever, (joming from him the opinion is worth a great deal. Every cliaracter seemetl to fit hia part, and the part fitted hjm, Shakelton, Ker¬ shaw, AAMlliam and Jane being especially good.

It must not be supposed that more fhan a portion of these men saw actual service in the army. They were enrolletl so aa to be ready for duty if called upon. These who would not take part fen the neceseary pre)imi- nary drills had,'* psiy their finea f.t)Q time to time.

Tiiese comjianies, formed in every township, were divided by lol into clatfees and provision made for calling theso Claasee into set Tice when wanted, Per¬ sons enrolled who refused to parade whan ordered were to be fine<l seven shillings six pence per day, or nearly two dollars cf our money, Pennsylvania currency. The officers had to pay a heavier fine, or ten shillinga per day. On field days thoae oJficers not attending bad to pay a fine of £5, and oihers fifieen shillingi. These comjianies were exercised two daya in April, three daya in May. two days in Auguat, two days in September and one day in October. Battalions wer« to parade once in May and once in Octo¬ ber. It will thus be seen that theae various drills took quite a conaiderable amount of time from the labors of tbe farmer, the mechanic and laborer, and if they did noi attend the amount of fines would be very considerable in proportion to the ability to pay, which wae not nearly gi great as now. Throngfaont F^tern Pennsylvania, thooaands of able- bodied men among thet^uakers, the Men- nonites.theDunkardsand Sub wenkfelders had conscientious scruples againat taking up arms and all fighting. Such were comfielled to pay fines. There were plenty of otber8,al80,who bad no stomach for being led agsinst the British and to face the bullets and bavonets of a moet formidable foe, well drilled and well f<i'iipped for war. We mar well suppose llmt the war was not at all popular, and not be surprised at the difficulty of fill¬ ing llie ranka of the Continental armies. The prospect seemed dark and gloomy; the resources of the foe were much superior. Confiscation of property, aud possioly the death of a traitor, would be the reward of those who served with Washington and Wayne, in case of the failure of Ihe American cause. All waa doubl and peril and danger. Viewing the circnmstances surrounding our patri¬ otic forefathers, we cannot sufficiently honor their devotion and sacrifices for the liberties of America. They risked ev*'rythiDg in behalf of their country, and happily they wott/ e. m. ^loittgowMiy Owmty Foat-Offlces. Following Was the Hat of poe.. fHces in Montgomery county on January I, 185)5.

The jioem, "Rock Me to Sleep, Jlother," was written by Elizabeth Akers Allen, known otherwise as "Flor¬ ence I'ercy." It is a ;,jeneral favorite, for it is a sweet little touch of home li/e. But there is anolher side tc the picture. Mauy a mother rock.s her child to sleep who can never rest or sleep herself. She is ahvays tired, has an everl.istiug back¬ ache, is low spirite<l,.weary, nervons and all that. Thanks be, she can be cnred. Dr. I'ierce's Favorite Prescription will do the work. There is nothing on earth like it, for the "complaints" to which the sex are liable. Once used, it is ai¬ wavs ill favor. Dr. Pierce'? jiellets are sjiecific for biliousness, headaches, constipation, piles, and kindred ailments.

A Good Testimonial. llaverhUl iN. H.) Courier. "I have had for twenty-seven years Jiast a badly diseased ankle bone. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and his Sail Rheum Cream healed it when all other medicines had failed and medi¬ cal authority had said the limb conld never be used again. "A sore broke out on the ankle bone, and for ten month.s the aged writer wf- fered day and uight beyond the power of words to express. A friend aarised me to try Dr. David Kennedy's Favor¬ ite Remedy. I had no faith that any medicine would help me, but suffering as I did I thougbt I would try it, ana purchased some, also a Ixix of Dr. Dav- k1 Kennedys Salt Rheum Cream. I used these medicines but a sliort time when my limb begau to heal. I will further add, among the many medicines I have tried for a diseased liver and kid¬ neys, none has ever proved so helpfuf to me as Favorite Remedy. By ttimnlat- ing and strengthening fhe enfeebled or¬ gans, even the encroachments of ad¬ vanced age seem to be checked by its invigorating jiower. "I have thoroughly tested its tme worth, and I know whereof I affirm, hoping all who read this will profit thereby, as the agetl writer has, hy using Dr. Kennedy's Favorile Remedy, been 1 given very comfortable liealth for a per- *'S»n • seventy years of age. Favorite Remedy is an' invaluable medicine for children as well as adults. "This testimonial is given from mv own exjierience of these invaluable med¬ icines." Mr3. Belinda Hobsdon, Haverhill, X. H.
