MOuNI BLANC RAILROAD.

That tourists will in the near future be able to ascend Mont Blanc by means of railroad is verysprobable, since experts, who have been closely studying the matter, have declared that the project Is entirely feasible. These experts are M Joseph Nallot, director of the Mont Blanc Observatory, and M. De nerret. professor of mineralogy at the Uni- verslty of Lyons. They have gone carefully over the different routes which lead to the srmmit of the mountain and have arrived at the conclusion that the one which presents the least obstacle is that which begins at the village of Touches, in the Savoy district.

All important Is the question of becom- ing hat or hats, especially as the prevailing styles are never becoming for everybody; but it would seem as though milliners re- aiized this and offered to their customers such a variety of shapes and designs as to make it almost a crime to wear hat that is not suitable and becoming.

SUGGESTIONS FOR DRESSING BAY WINDOWS

Excellent possibilities are afforded by n bay window for interior decoration, although 1t Is one of the most difficult features of a room to treat satisfactorily. The light must not be obstructed and the drapery or other adornment must not be heavy or cumber- some. Window seats may be introduced ef- fectively and pleasant nook formed in which to read when the light Is failing in other parts of the room.
 Figure suggests a method of treating q bay window with seat in bedroom. The cretonne used Is lowered on cream white background and matches the chair and couch coverings In the room. Rufied bobbi- net sash curtains add touch of daintiness and are easily kept fresh.
 The cushions for the seat are made of green denim, the same shade as that of the leaves in the cretonne. They might be made of rose color to match the flowers if desired The valance Is made of the cretonne.

The impression has prevailed for many years that the beautiful pheasants of the Old World would not thrive at all in small place. and that 1t was difficult in this country 10 breed them even on large es tate, but in recent years this theory has been disproyed. Pheasants of the most bean tltul type, and some of the rarest birds in the world, have been raised on village lots with scarcely any of the natural environments which formerly were considered essential 10 their welfare.
 In starting pheasa ntry on a country place only the breeds which have proved that they can be easily reared should be purchased at first.

HvOmei 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 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.
