Pumping Out a City.

The city of New Orleans, says the
Engineering Magazine, like most OF
the land at each side of the Miss
issippi river in the alluvial country,
lies considerable below the high water
line, the Mississippi river. The whole
city would be inundated by the river
occasionally ifit were not protected
by alevee along the river front. The
city is also protected by levees run
ming at right angles to the river, one
above the city aud one below it, aud
also by levee along the shore of
Lake Pontchartrain and by levees
along the banks of the various canals
which reach from that lake into the
territory of the municipality. New
Orleans is so near the mouth of the
river that the land upon which the
city is built is not only lower than
the high water stage of the river, but
is in part lower than the level of the
Gulf of Mexico and of the various
lakes in the vicinity of the city. There
fore, there is no natural drainage for
the land enclosed by the levees sur
rounding the town. The rain water
that falls upon this area has to be
pumped so to force it either into Lake
Pontchartrain or Lake Borgne. This
area is the subject of rainialls, the
greatest of which for many years has
been about 71a inches within twenty
four hours, which is equivalent to a
cube of water $40 feet long, wide and
deep. Ofcourse, such a rain occurs
only at very rare intervals.

East Hardwick Murder Case.

In the case of State VS.. Mrs. Jennie
Aldrich, charged with the murder OF
Mrs. Mary Massey at East Hard
wick, April L, on trial in Caledonia
county court at St, Johnsbury,
DR.. Edward H. Ross, ofSt. Johnsbury,
Doctor Frost of the medical depart
ment of Dartmouth College, Hanover,
N. H., and Doctor Newton, of Cam
bridge, all testified that Mrs. Mas
sey's death was not caused by injuries
received in the assault. Doctor New
ton had lived in East Hardwick and
treated Mrs. Massey for extreme ner-
vousness, which was always the re-
suit ofaltercations with Mrs. Aldrich.
The last witness was Mrs. Aldrich
herself, who testified the trouble be-
gan when she found Mrs. Massey
whipping the witnesses fve-year-old
brother, Perley Waterman. The wit
ness said Mrs. Massey tackled her
first and she acted in self defence.
After the witness had spanked her she
supposed the trouble was over, but
Mrs. Massey tackled her again and
this time they clinched and rolled
down the embankment, she did not
see Mrs. Massey after that.
The case went to the jury Satur-
day and in short time they brought
in verdict of not guilty and the re-
spondent was released from custody.

TRUE PREVENTIVE OF HAY FEVER.
HyOmi Destroys Germs of the Disease
and Keeps People Well.

There can be little or no doubt as
to hay fever being germ disease. 1t
is, too, one disease where prevention
Is much easier than cure.
All who are subject to this disagree
able trouble, should use Hyomei daily
for ut least two or three weeks before
the time of their annual attack. In
this way the annoying paroxysms OF
sneezing, running at the nose and
watery and smarting eyes can be
avoided.
This remarkable discovery makes
it possible for anyone to breathe air
at home which is almost identical
with that of the Adirondacks or
White Mountains or other resort
where hay fever sufferers go to escape
their trouble.
If, however, Hyomei has not been
used until the disease has begun, it is
necessary to use it more frequently,
at least half a dozen times daily, and
Hyomei Balm should be rubbed into
the nostrils both morning and night.
This treatment will relieve at once
and will fleet cure in nearly every
case.
Hall & Cheney have a complete line
of the Hyomei goods and will sell an
outfit of inhaler, Hyomei and medi-
cine dropper for 81 90 and will also
agree to refund the MONEY if the treat
ment does not give satisfaction.
Do not try to cure hay fever by
dosing the stomach. Breathe Hyomei
and in that way the medication will
reach the minutest air cells in the
nose, throat and lungs, soothe and
heal the irritated mucous membrane,
and prevent and cure all hay fever
troubles.
