The Baltimore Sun is working strenuously
to have an open ballot on the United States
Senatorship. and it is quoting two of the three
candidates for the Senatorship as favoring an
open ballot. The Sun has no right to direct
Democratic affairs; and the members of the
Senate and House were elected to represent
their counties. not to represent the peculiar
ideas of candidates before the General Assem-
bly,. Generally caucuses have nominated by
secret ballots, and there can be no reason to
change now, except that some of the Senator.
ial candidates distrust those upon who they
rely for votes.

Cook, of Elkton, aged 83 years, was burned
to death Saturday night.
Late in the night his aged wife discovered
that the house was on fire, the smoke from the

she made her escape. Mr.. Cook who had
been an invalid for years, and whose mind for
some time past had been impaired, was IN.
able to get out of the house. His wife grabbed
his cot and drew it toward the door, but was
forced by the flames to abandon her efforts to
save him.

lies in the respiratory organs where
nothing can reach the germs but a local

and it will effect cure
You may have catarrh of the stomach,
liver and kidneys and Hyomei will as
surely cure it as it will catarrh of the
head and throat. The catarrhal germs
are in the mucous membrane or Tissues
and Hyome not only kills the germs
along the air passages but enters the
blood with the oxygen killing the germs
in the blood.
The medicated dry air that goes
through the air passages and into the
lungs when Hy omei is breathed through
the inhaler that accompanies every out
fit, is rich in ozone, purely vegetable and
filled with marvellous healing and
strength giving qualities

1t is very seldom that she needs to clear
her head and throat and she is able to
rest quietly at night. For years past
she had been troubled with pain in her
limbs which we supposed was rheuma

Teeth of the Beaver,

The beaver is armed with two long
chisellike teeth in each jaw. These
teeth are exceedingly powerful and are
to a beaver what an ak is to a woods
man. One such tooth taken from the
lower jaw of a medium sized skull
Guilty, unlike the most of ours) is bent
into nearly a semicrcle and measures
five inches along it's outer curve. Only
one inch of this length projects from
the skull. The corresponding one from
the upper jaw is bent into more than a
complete half circle and measures upon
its outer face four inches, of which
less than an inch protrudes from its
bone casing. In width each tooth is
five-eighths of an inch. Examination
of one of them reveals the secret of
how a beaver can perform such feats
as chopping down birch tree sixteen
inches in diameter, not to speak Of
softer woods, like the Eastwood, of
much greater size.
The tooth is composed of two ma
terials. Along the outer face or front
of the tooth is a thin plate of exceed
ingly hard enamel. On the inner, form
ing the body of the tooth, is sub
stance called dentine. The dentine,
being softer, wears away with use.
The thin enamel remains comparative
ly unworn, so that the tooth assumes
the shape of keen chisel that never
grows dull. The tooth is hollow at the
base for half its length and is filled
with a nourishing substance which
keeps it constantly growing.
