TatqrTh

IF I only knew 1t to be true, I

Is a thought the average person has
when reading the claims of some of
the medicines that are advertised as
cures for catarrh.
The results from the use of Hyo-
mel are so remarkable in the cure of
catarrh that they seem beyond be-
lief. The fact, though that Voegeli
Bros Drug Co., corner Hennepin and
Washington avenues and corner Sew
enth street and Nicollet avenue, one
of the best known druggists in this
section, have SO much confidence in
the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh
that they sell it under their personal
guarantee to refund the money if the
purchasers can say that it did not
help them, ought to convince the most
skeptical that Hyomei can be relied
upon to cure all catarrhal troubles

Congress Gave Choice.

In the act of 1860, congress gave the
state a choice between two methods of
selecting swamp lands: First, it could
accept the field notes Of the govern
ment; secondly, it could furnish infor-
nation identifying certain lands as
swampy.
The former method was adopted,
and under it the state proceeded to
make it's swamp land selections until
1887, when Secretary Villas arbitrarily
changed the rule and held that the
government field notes would in future
be regarded as furnishing only prima
facie evidence of the character of al
legged swamp lands.
This new rule was in operation until
two or three years ago, when Attorney
General Douglas appealed from it, and
took the. litigation to the secretary Of
the interior, who reversed the Villas
ruling and restored the old plan.
Everything was proceeding finely
until this winter when Representative
Bede of Duluth introduced a bill to
change the rule and again make the
field notes simply prima facie evil
dence. There is now no prospect that
the Bede bill can be enacted into law,
and so far as it is concerned, there
fore, the state has nothing to fear.
But petition, addressed to, the
president, is circulating in the north
ern part Of the state, to which it is
said there will be at least 10000 sig
natures, asking the government to sus-
pend the issue of patents to Minnesota
for swamp lands until the interiod de-
partment has had time for re-exami-

congress can enact necessary legisla-

to Reach Old Age.
The general idea that literary pro-
duction of a high order is hostile to
long life BY reason Of the nervous wear
and tear it necessitates would seem
to be erroneous. Scott wore himself
out at the age of 81 by excessive work,
and Dickens, no doubt. lived at too
high possibly the same
might be said of Thackeray-bu in
the great majority of cases literary
men possess that balance which avoids
nervous exhaustion. and the literary
life is a wholesome and normal one.
In our own country the average life Of
twenty-nine leading writer's from J0na-
than Edwards down, is sixty-six years.
In nearly every case, too, their produc-
tive powers have remained unimpair-
ed by old age. The short life OF Edgar
Allen Poe is, of course. not to be attrlb-
uted to the fact that he was a writer,
but to the nervous worry resulting
from false pride and shame at being
unable to resist temptation. Bayard
Taylor worked too hard and Lanier
was broken by exposure In the civil
war. DR.. Holmes and Whittier enjoy
ed the longest lives Of any one OF our
writer's. each passing his seth birth
day Emerson, Longfellow and Bry-
ant lived long and tranquil lives, and
very few-perhaps not one-of Ameri-
can literary men shortened their lives
by excessive devotion to their natural
pursuit. The lives of great American
writers are longer than those of their
English eounterparts by nearly four
years though two OF the Englishmen-
Carlysle and Newman-lived longer
than any one of the Americans. The
living American writer's who seem to
have done enough to entitle them to
admission to our literary Valhalla are:
