Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot read
the diseased portion of the ear. There 1
only one way to cure deafness, and that ii
by constitutional remedies. Deafness ii
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. Whei
this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbllni
sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It 1
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, an<
unless the Inflammation can be taken ou
and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nln
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed conditioi
of the mucous surfaces

The Passing of the Patch.
The patch referred to here is not
Lj the patch on a garment?time-honr
ored badge of decent poverty?for,
n unfortunately, that sort of patch
h has not passed, writes Annie Sherrill
Baird, in Southern Woman's Mage
azine. The other kind of patch is
^ rapidly becoming a matter of history.
^ On every farm there used to be a
y turnip patch and a potato patch; in
the garden was a strawberry patch;
ana a folk-song celebrating the ac
tivities of the rabbit in the pea
" patch is proof that the latter was a
? well-known institution.
U But now has come the passing of
i* the patch. The blackberry has been
"cultivated;" turnips grow in fields;
tomatoes are planted by the acre;
rows and rows of onions?miles of
onions?stretch away into the dise
tance; the pea patch has expanded
into a truck farm.
One reads of 175 acres of straw;
berries planted on "cut-over" pine
lands in Mississippi, on which the
yield amounted to a total value of
Jj $38,000. This big berry crop?
d amounting to 21,875 crates?was
e shipped in carload lots mainly to
s Buffalo, N Y.
j5 In California they think nothing
d of planting 100 acres in asparagus.
Three thousand cars were neces r
sary for the shipping of the 1914
r' "Bermuda" onion crop of Texas, a
e crop that has brought millfons of
r dollars into the State.
These are a few instances of big
0 operations in the way of vegetables
and berry raising. They are cited
merely to emphasize the facU that
the patch is passing.
And now let us consider briefly
the difference between fact and
truth.
What does the passage of the
patch portend? I don't know. But
I should greatly like to knew.
The passing of the pa eh is closely
related to the who e trend of
modern life; it is one link in a chain
which seems to have had no beginning
and which apparently will have
no end.

Method of Commander of Irregulars ^
May Not Have Been Orthodox,
but It Was Effective. ^
A company of irregulars enlisted ^
on the Union side, for the special ^
purpose of coping with Confederate (f
guerrillas, called themselves the ^
Snake Hunters. They wore no very
definite uniform, and the arms they ^
carried were of every imaginable ^
kind and pattern. ^
Their commander, Captain Baggs,
would 6hout: "Put down them blast- ^
ed guns, and be d d to you!" ^
Which, of course, meant "Stack ^
arms." "Now to your holes, you 3r
ugly rats, and don't let me see you ^
again till I want you!" which sig- y

the Snake Hunters would disperse ^
on the run, with whoops and veils. (?
One day a couple of men from ^
Philadelph.a, having witnessed this
interesting style of drill, invited ^
Captain Baggs to take a drink in a ^
grog shop. The men of the company ^
having been dismissed in the man- ^
ner described, they asked him how ^
he expected to get them back if he
wanted them in a hurry. "I'll show ^

8LAVE TRADE IN MOROCCO.
ag
One of the most dangerous and
annoying tasks which France has M
been obliged to perform in Morocco re
is the suppression of the slave trade.
The work is not finished, even now; ^
smuggling of "black ivory" across
the desert still continues; but with- jDi
out doubt it is only a tiny fraction fr
of the wholesale commerce in human
Kainrra TrVlt/tVl nTOVfl ilpH hefnrft the tfl

French occupation. As a sample of [ da
the persistence of this commerce,
when there is any market for its ^ja
irareu it may be remembered that r
slave cargoes were smuggled into
southern states as late as 1858 and fe
1860. nc
Fortunately France has a strong
grip on the great shoulder of north- he
em Africa, and four-score years have da
taught her leaders desert diplomacy
as well as desert warfare. .
