EVERYBODY COZ A PRIZE.
NoveI Euehps Party, which EAGsa
enthusiastically 20 EVsFybo1y
wa Haa Played


The Long Island society, Daughters
Of the Revolution, enjoys the distinc-
ton Of having conducted q progres-
sive euchre contest at which every
one present received . prize and
everybody was satisfied, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
The company was mainly confined
TO members of the society. and IN the
cards issued for the occasion the TO
quest was made that each one deEir-
ing to participate would contribute
q prize not to exceed IN value IS
cents. Although the price limitation
was not strictly adhered TO. the
souvenirs were for the most part
Of articles Of femme use or for orna-
ment. The players, according TO the
number Of games they had scored,
made their selection at haphazard
from a collection Of paper enyeloped
articles. The fun came when the
voluminous wrapPings were removed
and a hat pin, q bondon dish, coffee
spoon, tray, photo frame, book, bit
Of china, top or trinket was disclosed.
Considerable igenuity was displayed
in wrapping up the prizes, 50 that
no hint was given Of the contents
Of the package. The cleverest bit
Of deception in this way was the
inclosing bonbon dish in q cracker
box bearing the name Of . popular
brand and looking as If the original
contents had never been disturbed.

FOG SIGNALS AT SEA.
How shIp Captains Are Guided by
the Sirens, or Horns, Through
the Channels.

A large proportion Of the disasters
at sea are due to fog, and any method
by which the whereabouts Of a vessel
can be ascertained in thick weather
must be regarded as a great boon. A
system is now under trial at Fame
Point, on the Gulf Of st. Lawrence, a
place where fogs occur frequently,
says Chambers Journal. To under
stand the nature of the new fog-signal,
let Us suppose that at certain place
there are four powerful tog-hOrns,
spread out fanwise, so that each points
in a different direction. Each has its
distinctive speech, so many blasts,
long or short, sounding every minute
or so. These sirens can be heard, un-
der favorable conditions, at a distance
of from IS TOGO miles. An approaching
ship, when it comes into the zone Of
sound, viii hear all the sirens; but one
viii be much palmer than the other
three, for the vessel will be within its
particular arc Of sound. In a short
time, as the ship moves onward, it win
come within the influence Of the next
siren, and 50 on. AS the captain of the
ship possesses the key to each set of
signals, he soon notes which is the
siren whose sound-waTes are most
distinctly audible; and, as he knows
the exact direction in which it points,
he can get q very good idea Of the po-
sition Of his ship.

ming at the nose, intense smarting
and itching and stuffed up feeling
in the head. The direct causes
appear to be heat, dust and the
pollen of flowers. Although hay
fever may occur at any season of
the year, it is most common and
severe in August, and preventive
treatment should be adopted some
weeks before the time the disease
is due. Prior to the discovery of
the remarkable effects following
the use of Hyomei, the only treat
ment that gave relief to hay fever
sufferers. was change of climate.
The use of Hyomei enables any
one to breathe air at home which
is like that of the Adirondacks, the
White Mountains or other health
resorts where healing balsams fill
the air with natures germ destroyer
ozone. Those who are subject TO
hay fever should begin the use IF
Hyomei at once and thus proven:
the disease. An ounce of prevention
is worth more than a pound of cure
in the treatment of hay fever
A Q Van Glider has seen the good
effects following the use of Hyomei
in all diseases of the respiratory
organs, and is willing to sell Hyo.
mel to any hay fever sufferer, with
the understanding that if it does
not give satisfaction, the treatment
will cost nothing.
