Paper Versus Li.Sn..

In spite OF prejudice the japanese pa
per serviette Is making Roadway, and
perhaps it would become even more
popular If 1t were not for its brilliant
decoration, which rather jars upon the
taste of people who associate the re-
fnements of the table with spotless
white linen. But the paper handker-
chief has even greater claims upon our
appreciation. A handkerchief which is
merely an ornamental adjunct to a
lady's toilet is all very well, but there
Is no innate daintiness about the
mouchoir and its uses The washing
OF one which has seen the service for
which 1t was intended is by no means
a task for the fastidious, and with our
increasing knowledge of the spread Of
disease ii is a question IL it is not q
reasonable sanitary precaution that all
should be destroyed. If that idea once
got into the public mind the future of
the paper handkerchief should be as
sured. The paper mouchoir, which
can be burned when done with, appeals
to us on the score of economy, as well
as that Of convenience. The conven-
fence of them for travellers is Obvious

companion all about the performance
and what's coming next. The other

pant Of the seat In front Of him talk

going to happen on the stage. Finally,

exclaimed:

Labouchere, one OF the richest men
In England. is simple to the point of
asceticism In his tastes. To this day
he is almost a teetotaler and his In
difference to food has passed into
legend. One evening he came home
somewhat Unexpectedly to his house
at Twickenham: there was no dinner
ready. &C.," said Labby to his hor-
rified butler, "to the nearest ham and
beef shop and bring me back some
cold ham and beef" The food was
brought back; he adds that It was con-
veyed in an old newspaper-but that
is probably a little embroidery of his
own invention-and he says that he
seriously thought of dispensing with
cooks and having his food brought
from the neighboring shop every
night. He certainly could have adopt
ed this practice without any personal
sense OF deprivation. He tells how
once a somewhat awed host showed
his sense of Labby's superiority by
presenting him with sandwiches
made of ham and sponge cake! Lab
by ate the sandwiches with keen

story was an additional condiment to

STRONE EVIDENCE or FAITH
Feldmeyer Bros GuaraI tee that Hyomei
Will Onre the Worst Case of Oatarrh
In Annapolis.

When one of the most reputable
concerns in Annapolis guarantees
that medicine will effect cure or
they will refund the money, 1t speaks
volumes as to the merits of that rem
edy. 1t is in this way that Feldmeyer
Brothers are selling Hyomei, the
treatment that has made SO many re-
markable cures OF both acute and
chronic cases of entarrh In Annapolis
and vicinity.
Hyomei is noe pill, nor Is 1t a
liquid that has to be taken with a
tablespoon or wineglass. just breathe
it in by the aid of an inhaler that
comes in every outfit, and benefit will
be seen from the first treatment.
1t destroys oil germ life in the air
passages and lungs, and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional
ozone. 1t cures catarrh Of the head
and throat, or of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Wherever mucous mem
brane contains catarrhal germs, there
Hyomei will do it's work of healing.
When using this treatment, the air
you breathe win be found like that on
the mountain high above the sea level.
where grow balsamic trees and plants
which make the air pure by giving off
volatile antiseptio fragrance that is
healing to the respiratory organs.
Remember that If Hyomei does not
cure you Feldmeyer Brothers will re-
fund your money.

The animal is a representative of the
ape family and is covered with long
growth of soft hair. grayish blue IN
color and greatly resembling cap and
cape of thick, long and straight fur. The
hair on the lower half of the body is
extremely short and stiff. When aroused
TO anger. the lion-slayer emits loud, un-
earthly sounds from its throat which
would do full credit to a large sized ele-
plant. Fearing neither elephant or
rhinoceros, it is claimed that the lion
will turn and fee at the first sign of this
specie of ape.

Common Sense from One Who Doesn't
Agree with Carnegie.

common sense from One Who Doesn't
Agree with Carnegie.
Mr.. Carnegie has just been telling
the people of Govan that "the finest
heritage for young man is poverty"
This is his own belief. and 1t was also
the belief, he affirms, of President
Garfield. Admitting the general cor
rectness Of this severely Spartan die
tum, still, the first criticism that oc-
ours is that perhaps President Gar
field and Mr.. Carnegie are not alto
gether unprejudiced Witnesses. They
were both born poor. sprung from a
stock of lowly parentage:" by the ma
tive force that they possessed they
both rose to high distinction, and
came to I'LL a large space in the field
Of view OF the worlds fame For
them the hardy climate Of early pow
erty and struggle proved to be the
best But does 1t follow that It must
therefore be the best for every one,
for those natures. for instance. which.
while gifted with fine and high pos
sibilities, lack the natural hardihood
and tough, stern strength Of men like
President Garfield and Mr.. Carnegie?
Almost inevitably these mighty men,
when they have reached the browning
slope, cannot help thinking that what
proved an invigorating discipline for
them must be the same to every one.
But is such generalization warrant
ed by facts7 In England the climate
Of q conservatory would be the very
worst for the oak, but It Is the best
for the vine. May not human pecu-
liarities of gifts of genius and innate
possibilities Of deeds Of high en-
prize" similarly differ? Eneryating
surroundings. of course. must in every
case be Injurious, but what would be
sickIy enervation in one case may be
the very breath of life in another.
The frost in which some minds
aOurish and, like cedars, fling back
- wintry storm, may blight others
into frost bitten ruin. John Morley.
Mr.. Carnegie's friend, was probably
not nursed in the lap of luxury, but
he had not to struggle with Mr.. Car
negie's or with President Garfield's
rough early surroundings. He obtain
ed the quiet culture of Oxford. His
mind grew and "fiourished in a grove"
of academic learning. Is 1t likely that
as a poor lad he ever could have
climbed his rough way up mountains
Of pig iron or Of steel ingots to wave
the gold flag Of multi-millionaire at
the top? Or from log cabin in the
backwoods have forced his way to the
White House? But, besides admitting
that Mr.. Carnegie's and President
Garfield's undoubtedly great qualities
were OF a kind which early hardship
developed, may 1t not be true that the
development would not have led to
success unless the conditions of Amer
lean life had been of character
which made such success possible?
The factors seem to have been three
In number. First; nature produced a
Carnegie; then planted him in brac-
ing poverty, but not in sordid squalor;
and then surrounded him with pecu-
Iiarly favorable conditions and oppor-
tunities. The result--a man who, like
the gorgeous East, with richest hand,
scatters millions In beneficence. The
absence of any one Of these three fac
tors hight have been fatal.-London
