no hesitation In swapping OF the most

THAT was a maddening puzzle 10 my
small cat The sight OF a moo any

the kitten She would Immediately
start on the hunt, for the most part a
fruitless chase, for the little lizard
could skulk or faster than two cats
could pursue. Yet when the kitten did
succeed In landing on the lizard there
followed scene OF bewilderment
The moo invariably snapped Off its
tail, which was left wriggling in one
part OF the veranda. while the lizard
ran OF n short distance and awaited de-
velopments.
''The kitten never knew whether 10

ANATOMY OF AN OYSTER.
The BivaIve's Organs Are Numerous
and Its Heart quite Humanlike.


Every oyster has a mouth, a heart
liver, a stomach, besides many curious
" devised little intestines and other
organs necessary organs, such as
would be handy 10 a living. moving
intelligent creature. The mouth is at
the end Of the shell. near the hinge and
adjoining the toOthed portion Of the
oysters pearly covering. This tiny lit
tie apology OF mouth is oval In shape,
and, although hardly visible to one un-
used to making such anatomical exam
nations. It can be easily discovered by
gently pushing a bodkin or piece OF
blunt, smooth wire along the surface
OF the locality mentioned.
When the mouth is at last located
you can thrust your instrument through
between the delicate lips and consid-
erable distance toward the stomach
without causing the oyster the least
pain whatever. From this mouth there
Is Of course a miniature canal leading
TO the stomach. Food passes from this
canal TO the stomach and from the lat
ter organ into the intestines just as
readily as though the little bivalve
were as large as an elephant or rhl-
noceros.
Remove the shell (this operation is
rather rough on the oyster. but can be
done In a comparatively painless man

made Of two parts, one Of which re-
ceives the blood from the gills through
a network Of real blood vessels; the
other portion contracts and drives the
blood out through the body. The other
organs Of an oysters anatomy are all
IN their proper places and perform
their several functions.

HvomG The Latest Scientific Discovery
For The Cure OF Oatarrh.

The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought a wonderful change in the
treatment of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi-
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were nauseating drugs
and worthless tonics. In some in
stances they benefited, but the inn
provement was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head bal
samic air that goes to the minutest
cells, effectually killing all germs and
microbes of catarrh. 1t enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood, and restores
health to the whole system. Many as
tonishing testimonials have been re-
ceived from those who have been cur
ed by Hyomei.
N. G. Durham, % Wellington St.,
Boston, Mass, writes: Il have suf-
fered from catarrh for a number of
years. / have tried Hyomei, and
found it the only cure for this disease
/ ever used"
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters is the fact
that Feldmeyer Bros. have so much
faith in Hyomei that they sell every
package under positive guarantee to
refund the money il it does not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use
of Hyomei.
