SIXTEEN YEARS OF CATARRH
Well Known Massachusetts, Woman Cured
by Hyomei.

How to cure catarrh has been a
problem in medicine for many years
that was not solved until the discov-
cry of Hyomei. This remarkable treat
ment makes it possible for any one to
breathe an air at home which is al
most identical with that of the Adj
rondacks, the Carolinas or other
health resorts where the air is inn
pregnated with healing balsams from
health-giving trees and plants.
Mrs. Elyira T.. A. Gibson, who holds
a responsible position in the great dry
goods store of Jordan, Marsh d. Co.,
of Boston, wrote in April: 81 had ca
tarrh for twenty years, and the last
ten years (all of which time has been
passed in this great establishment l
suffered fearfully. One half dozen
handkerchiefs per day would be used.
1t extended to my throat; the base OF
my tongue was badly affected. l con-
stantly kept in my mouth cardamon
seeds. or some such breath purifier.
could not sleep with my mouth clos
ed. i began using Hyomei in Decem-
ber. and in two weeks l was entirely
and now, after four months, and no
return of the disease, can say say,
rmanently-cured. The head of this
firm, Mr.. Jordan, endorses this state
ment."
Feldmeyer Brothers have sold hun
dreds of Hyomei outfits, consisting OF
an inhaler. a medicine dropper, and a
bottle of Hyomei, and with every pur-
chase have given their personal guar
antee to refund the money if Hyomei
did not cure. They will still sell the
treatment on that plan, and every ca
tarrh sufferer ought to take advan-
tage of their fair proposition.

THE SULTAN AND THE SEA.
A New Version on MOrOccO's Shore
of the Old King Canute
Legend.

On the fifteenth day we left our
last inland camp for the seashore,
the sultan envious Of those who
could gallop to the waters edge be-
fore him, writes Arthur Schneider, in
''The Sultan of Morocco Journeys
Toward Fez," in Century. He rode
along quietly enough, checking his
impatience, until a narrow ribbon Of
blue burst into view above a stretch
of sand dunes, when he commune
Gated his feelings to his horse, urg.
ing him to a faster pace. This pace
increased until 1t carried him up to
and over the sand into the sea. He
was obliged to halt there. The sea
refused to roll back, and his horse
would go no further. 1t was q heart
stirring scene, and at the time, al
though the old tale of King Canute
came to my mind, / was under too
great magic spell to smile at the
Similitude.
There was grandeur In that
straight figure in glistening white,
sitting so majestically in bewilder
ment upon his restive steed, contem-
plating the pillows as they gathered
themselves and closed in on the
shore, racing under him up the sandy
shore, to slip back and to leave a
great expanse of polished strand.
The stretch of sand leading to the
long sand hills swarming with white
clothed Arabs and many-colored
standards, wedging their brilliance
into the sky. held me enchanted.
The sultan's very embarrassment
made It all the more impressive, and
he looked the absolute monarch, un-
approachRble, who never smiled or
toked, and never loaded paint on
canvas. No, this was Mulai Abdul
Aziz. the sultan. Never before did 1t
seem so incredible that ] was. day
after day, rubbing shoulders with
this inaccessible man.

LEoPARDs OF UpocoRA.
work Death and Destruction
in German East Africa.

A traveller who returned recently
from Upogora, in the southern part
of German East Africa, tells an in
teresting story about the ieopards
which are unusually plentiful and dar-
ing there.
He does not hesitate" says the
traveller, ''to break into a hut and
seize human being. If the hut should
be so strongly built that he fails in
his attempts 10 enter. he viii crouch
in ambush near it and wait for hours
until somebody energies, when he
springs like lightning on his victims
back.
These leopards are so fearless that
1t is practically impossible 10 keep
goats and chickens in any village near
the jungles for any length of time.
Sooner or later the big cats viii find
way 10 get at them.
Their destructiveness is amazing.
They will kill animal after animal in
one night, so that when dawn comes
big corral Of goats may not have
a single survivor.
'In cases Ike this, the leopards do
not devour the animals until they have
killed them all Then they lie over
each one in turn and suck the blood
out of the body. If they still have
hunger after that. they begin to tear
the flesh from their prey. Conse-
quently the compounds present hide
Gus and frightening spectacles on the
day after a successful raid by leop-
ards.
''The rapacity Of the gaudy cats is
as great as their destructiveness. A
German sergeant of the military po-
lice shot leopard that had killed
three persons in one night, and then
had entered a goat corral and there
beaten and. bitten more than a dozen
goats to death.
This leopard was a beauty, with
markings like velvet, and he was of
immense size and strength. He
smashed the side of the hut with one
sweep of his paw. and almost before
the three occupants Of the place had
chance to cry out he had beaten
them to death. Then he dragged them
OAb OAC ny OAhC anu a. AAooAAAAt DAh~
bodies and licking up the blood, he
hid them in bushes and sought the goat
corral.
Despite the hunting parties that
were formed the very next morning,
and that beat the bush all day, this
man-eater was so brave that he re-
turned to the village that very night
and tried to break into another corral
in which were some cattle. 1t was
then that the sergeant shot him.
"Yet fierce as the beasts are, the
natives have a great fancy for tanning
the cubs, and they take desperate risks
to catch a cub alive.
"The young leopards soon become
accustomed to companionship with
human beings and, though they never
become as gentle and dociie or reli-
able as a dog. they become obedient
enough to run loose and return TO
their masters. Sometimes they are
harnessed up by the natives and used
TO drag light loads Just as dogs are
used in some parts of Europe"

Tramp Killed at New MartinsviIIe.

This morning about 1890 O'Clock
an unknown tramp was killed upon
the railroad tracks near the "Y" In
Brooklyn.
From the information CLEANED
from those who witnessed the affair
1t Is said that the tramp was stand
Ing or'loitering along the track ap-
parently watching for chance to
steal a ride upon freight train.
The yard engine. No. S. was shift
Ing cars about the "Y" and was
coming up the track at pretty
fast rate, when some of the railroad
employees and other persons were
Mortified to see the man jerk of his
coat and after throwing 1t on the
ground, threw himself upon the
track In front of the approaching
train. Some of the witnesses stated
that the man after landing upon
the track held fast to 1t, as though
he was determined that the train
should pass over his body.
1t was impossible to stop The
train and 1t passed over the unfor.
tunate man, cutting him almost In
half about the thighs and aldo.
men. His left leg was almost sew
cred, also, just above the knee.
Both legs were scratched and torn.
He also received several bumps
about the face and head, and one
hand was injured. He lived but a
few moments after being run over
and had no opportunity to speak a
word
The remains were carried to a
point near the track where an In
quest was held.
1t was the opinion of all who
saw the accident that he commit
ted suicide.
A thorough search was made OF
his clothing, but nothing was found
that would lead TO Identification.
The only things found In his
pockets were razor and brush,
piece of soap and handkerchief.
The deceased was aged about 40
years, was about FIVE feet s inches
In height.
The color of his hair was vel
lowish brown, red mustache and
his face had almost a weeks growth
of hair upon 1t. He was dressed
very poorly, having on pair OF
light trousers and an old Prince
Albert coat. There Is no Idea as to
who the man was or where he came
from.
The remains were taken In
charge by Undertaken Wharton,
who will prepare 1t for BURIAL
