the medicines that are advertised as
cures for catarrh.
Tire results from the use of Hyomei
are SO remarkable nthc cure Of catarrh
that they seem beyond belief. The fact
though, that Sturm s Co, one of the
best known druggists in this section,
have so much confidence in the power of
Hyomei to cure eatarrh that they sell
it under their personal guarantee to
refund the money if the purchasers car
say that it did mol help them. ought to

or deep-seated.
The complete Hyomei outfit, consist,

dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei, costd
only one dollar. Additional bottles o!
Hyomei can be procured for fifty cents

Catarrhal colds, which are so com.

recipe for coffee The recipe reads:
TO make the drink that is now
much used, called coffee:
The coffee berries are TO be bought
at any druggists, about shillings the
pound. Take what quantity you please,
and over n charcoal fire in an old fry
ing pan keep them always stirring I'm
til they be quite black, and when you
crack one with your teeth that it is
black within as it is without, yet If
you exceed. then do not waste the
0yl. and If less. then will it not de-
liver its Oyl and if you should con.
tinuc fire till it be white 1t will then
make no coffee, but only give you its
salt. Beat and force through lawn
sieve.
Take clear water and boil one-third
Of it away, and it is fit for use. Take
one quart of this prepared water, put
it in one ounce of your prepared cot
fee and boil it gently one hour, and
it is for your use. Drink one quar-
ter of pint as hot rs you can sip it.
1t doth abate the fury and sharpness
of the Acrimony, which is the gender

"THREE FlsHERs."
The Incident which Moved Kingsley
to Write the Poem,

Charles Kingsley wrote the Three
Fishers as Il result of the many sac
sights he had seen AT Clovelly. On,
day OF horror in particular lived in his
memory, Il day, rs he described ii.

dawn saw upward OF sixty widows anG
orphans weeping over those who haG
gone out the night before in the full

scenes lived ever In his mind.
But the Three Fishers was. written
as n result of one OF the strangest Incl
dents in the stormy career Of the
preacher-author. In 1851 he preached
sermon ina London church on The
Message of the Church to the Laboring
Man" At its close the vicar rose and
denounced him. Bishop Bloomfield for.
bade Kingsley TO preach again in his
diocese until. having read the sermon
and seen its author, lie withdrew the
edict The same night upon which he
delivered his discourse Kingsley went
to his home weary. There had nearly
been riot in the church. Sick a;
heart, he retired to his study. When
he reappeared he handed to his family
his immortal song "as though it were

= When Theodore Parker first visited

leader among western cities. he said
that he had made great discovery
namely, shat While the aristocracy Of
Cincinnati was unquestionably found
ed on pork 1t made great difference
whether man killed pigs for himself
or whether his father had killed them.
The one was held plebeian, the other
patriclan. 1t was the difference, Par
kcr said, between the stick ems and

thics, he confessed, were with the

An instance Of the absurdity of some

was the notion that the ringing of the
church bells had counteracting effect
In thunderstorm. 1t was supposed
that the vibration of the air caused by
the movement of the bells resulted In
the dissipation OF the electric 6uid In
the air. The belief was so common al
one time that the bells were rung ms
soon as signs Of an approaching thun.
derstorm were seen. Science now holds
n contrary opinion. Not only does the
sound have no possible effect on the
mir, but the vibration caused by the
sound of bell upon a cloud charged
with electricity may cause It TO dis.
charge its contents upon the ringer OF
the bell in the church tower.

A Criticism which Appeared In the

The following brief criticism on the
poems Of Burns appeared in the Edln-
burgh Magazine, October, 1886, short
ly after the second edition of his works
came out: 1.-THE author Is indeed n
striking example Of native genius
bursting through the obscurities OF
poverty and the instructions of IL
borlgus life. He is said to be COM
mon plowman, and when we consider
him in this light we cannot help re
GREETING that hayward fate had not
placed him In a more favored situation
Those who view with the severity {
Iettered criticism and judge by the
fastldious rules of art will discover
that he has not the Dorlc simplicity of
Ramsey nor the brilliant Imagination
OF Ferguson, but TO those who admire
the exertions OF untutored fancy and
are blind to many faults for the sake
of numberless beauties his poems will
afford singular qualification. His OBJ
servations on human characters are
acute and sagacious, and his descrip-
tons are lively and just. OF rustic
pleasantly ne has a rich fund, and
some of his softer scenes are touched
with inimitable delicacy. He seems
to be boon companion and often
'startles us with sentiments which viii
keep some readers at distance. Some
of his subjects are serious, but those
Of the humorous kind are the best"
