ARE WE DENATURALIZED BY
 HABIT?

One of the heaIthiest signs of the times is the way In which the younger generation, and some of the older are turning their thoughts to the country life. The ideal of cities. the money ideal is on the wane. Young men everywhere are asking themselves, "Is it worth while. when. with less money, we can be just as happy. nay. far happier, and do the work and live the life we really love-" We are all in re- volt, literary men amongst the rest in revolt against brick and mortar and pen and ink Says Marcus Aurelius. in one of his meditations: Tn the morn ing when thou risest unwillingly. let this thought be present: T am rising to the work of a human being. But 1t is to be feared that this counsel has lost it's force for most modern men and women: for how many of us can say al rising: ''l am rising to the work of a human being?" On the contrary, if we are honest and not towards, we are compelled to say that we are rising too often to work entirely inhuman and unnatural, work artificial, wearisome and unprofita ble: work in which we take no pleasure. unless, indeed. we have become denaturalized by habit. and work which we do merely because we must. or think we must, if we are to go on living at all.-Julius No-regard in Success.

He has eaten off most of the tall grass and is now looking for juicy patches in the py- ways and hedges. Last week he made a speciality of Chinamen and collected from quite large number of them. This he thinks is like getting money from home for the county, as the Chinese have hitherto sent most Of their school fund to the land of flowers. The tax has been collected now from over a thousand people and the end is not yet. If nobody restraints him he will most likely tackle the Indians next. He takes the very proper ground that the schools must be supported, regard less.

RISEN IN HIS DOTAGE.

Ibsen has given up reading news papers or books; he writes no letters, and does no literary work. He seldom sees any one except his servant and masseur. He never leaves the house at Copenhagen. but is able to move about in it with the aid of two canes. Five years ago he was still quite active. and as regular as Kent in his habits. Every day he took the same walk. stopped before the clock on the university building to regulate his watch, and then read the newspapers in the Grand Cafe.

HEIRESS TO A FORTUNE
CANNOT BE FOUND.

New York, March 2O.-Sensational
developments are promised at the sur
rogates hearing begun at jamaica, L.
l., to-day, on the application for let
ters of administration upon the estate
of the late Patrick ]. Gleason, widely
known during his lifetime as the May
or of Long Island city.
When Gleason died it was generally
supposed that nothing remained of his
wealth, which few years before had
been considerable. The present appli-
cation for letters of administration is
made by DR.. Fitch, who was Gleason S
physician for many years, and who as
serts positively that the latter left a
fortune and a will. No will has been
filed and its whereabouts are unknown.
Stocks, bonds and other securities are
supposed to make UP the volume of
Gleason's supposed concealed wealth.
He placed implicit confidence in his
lawyer, 7. p. Burke, and it is said that
the present tangle is due largely to the
sudden death of the latter.
The situation is further complicated
by the disappearance of Miss Jessie
Gleason, the exMayor's daughter and
only heir, and who it is alleged is in
the hands of INSCRIPTIONS persons who
are endeaVoring to defraud her out of
a fortune, said to amount to 500, 900.

CAN UNCLE SAM BUILD LIGHT
HOUSE AT ST. GATHERINGS?
That Is the Question Being Argued
Before Judge Spcer.


Before Judge Spcer.
An important legal combat, in the
outcome of which Savannahians gem
orally are interested, is being waged
being the condemnation proceedings of
the government against Jacob Rauers
for the acquisition of a light house
site on st. GATHERINGS Island. Upon
depends whether the case will go to
trial on its merits. -e~
The present litigation constitutes the
third attempt of the government to
condemn the land The defendant has
filed a plea, setting forth the fact that
the matter has been disposed of in for
mer proceedings and that the govern
ment is debarred from further proceed
ing This view of the matter is not
entertained by the governments rep
resentative. Assistant United States
Attorney w. r. I-eaken. who contends
that the former proceedings we're not
in conformity with the provisions of
the constitution of the United States,
in that the specific bit OF land upon
winch the government designed the
erection of the light house was not
valued by the appraisers appointed by
the court.
If the plea in bar is overrdled. by
the court on the grounds set forth by
the district attorney, the case will pro-
coed on its merits. In this event an
other appraisement will be necessary.
Some entertaining testimony will be
adduced, it is said, when the case
comes before the court on its merits.
The most important is that the defend
ant has leased a portion of his island
TO certain parties who are now con-
Quoting an oyster factory thereon.
This fact, the government claims, will
paralyze the present contention that
the erection of the light house will re-
suit in the depreciation of the extra
ordinary market value of the island
which is due to the exclusive owner
snip by the defendant.
The argument of counsel on the
plea of res adjudicata which occupied
the attention of, the court during the
major part of the session yesterday
will be concluded to-day, when Judge
Speer will take the matter under ad-
visement, and render a decision later

Hyomef the Latest Scientific Discov-
cry for the Cure of Catarrh.

cry for the Cure of Catarrh.
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 i'm
provement was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages of the throat and head a 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
cured by HyOmei.
n. G. Durham, % Wellington St,
Boston, Mass, writes: Il have suf-
fered from catarrh for a number of
years. l tried Hyomei and found it
the only cure for this disease 1 ever
used"
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters is the fact
that knights Pharmacy Company
have so much faith in Hyomei that
they sell every package under a pos
tive guarantee to refund the money
if it does not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use of
Hyomei.
