The Renewal a Strain.

Vacation is over. Again the
school bell rings at morning and at
noon, again with tens of thousands
the hardest kind of work has begun,
the renewed of which is a mental and
physical strain to all except the most
rugged. The little girl that a few
days ago had roses in her cheeks, and
the little boy whose lips were so red
you would have insisted that they had
been "kissed by strawberries" have
already lost something Of the appear
ance of health. Now Is a time when
many children should be givena tonic
which may avert much serious trouble
and we know of no other so highly tt
be recommended as Hood Sarsaparills
which strengthens the nerves, per-
fects digestion and assimilation and
aids mental development by building
up the whole system.

COSTS NOTHING UNLESS CURED.

A Fair Offer Made by Chas. w. Loomls
to All Sufferers from Catarrh.
Chas. W. Loomis is selling Hyomei
on a plan that has caused considerable
talk amongst his customers. va
The plan is differenr from that fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the rem
edy itself is different also. This treat
ment for the cure of catarrh has such
an unusual record of cures to its credit
that Chas. w. Loomis offers to refund
the money if it does not give the de-
sired benefit. This is certainly one of
the fairest offers that tan be made and
any one who has catarrh and does not
take advantage Of it is doing himself
or herself an injustice.
Extra bottles Of Hyomei can be pro-
cured for use with the inhaler at soc.
DO not suffer any longer with tick
ling, smarting; burning, eye-watering
troubles that aflict those who have
catarrh. Hyomei will cure you, butt II
you should not find it adapted to your
case, Chas. w. Loomis will return
your money.

Carey Snyder, self-confessed high
way robber and son Of millionaire R.
NJ. Snyder, paroled some months ago
by Judge Wofford, reported to court
this week. He has been conducting
himself satisfactorily since his parole,
Judge Wotford said to him; "N0w,
Carey, you 90 on and be a good mar
who obeys the secret monitor within
himself and you win never go astray.
When you are in doubt about doing a
thing, don't do it. Keep your con-
science clear. There is absolutely
only one course in life and that is
honesty. Yours is an unusual case.
It's not Away the poor mans sou
who is neglected, but, as 10 your
case, the rich many times neglect their
children. That has been one of your
misfortunes, Your father has been
so busy in his quest for gold that he
has neglected his motherless boy.
AS a young boy you were shifted
around from place to place, although
your father was rich and could have
provided a good home for you, so that
you did not have the advantages of
womanly home influences. You may
go now and l hope your next report
will be as good as the one to-day"

pnssin. of the Aristocrat..

The Revolution. in giving us a sepa-
rate nationality, had not destroyed
time honored traditions. Our manners
and customs were English. bred In the
bone; our point of view that of the
mother country. Freedom and equal
ity were political terms that no one
dreamed of applying to social life.
What gave position at that time was
inherited distinction. Its possession
was free from self consciousness-sim.
ply an advantage of birth which that
Providence who had always shown an
affinity to hierarchies saw fit to bcstow
on n favored class. The community
was divided by the grace of God into
gentlemen - and others; perhaps Ii
would be more exact to say gentlemen,
their servants and others. The privacy
of these gentlemen concerned them-
selves only. There We're no social
happenings heralded in their newspa

M HOT BATHS.
They May Have Caused the Down.
fall of the Imperial City.

When Rome was in her glory and
men were strong and women beauti.
full, they set first importance upon
the bath. There were SD public baths
in imperial Rome.
Before taking a bath the Roman took
a little exercise. In the later history
of Rome tie room in which he I'M
dressed was heated, and after undress-
ing he waJ anointed with oil. TheH
came the scratching and rubbing Of
the skin with the strigil. Following
this pefspiration was promoted by
heated air or a hot bath. The bath
was completed with a cold douche or
cold plunge. Finally the body was
anointed again.
1t Is believed by many writer's that
the introduction of the hot bath il
the place of the cold bath among the
Romans was the principal cause OF
their downfall. The luxury of the no!
bath was weakening and destroyed
that personal valor and hardihood for
which the Romans were notorious in
their earlier history.
Little by little the e~nervating iDfu-
ence of the bot bath gradually Slapped
away the vitality of the Roman soldier
until the more hardy men of the north
found them very easy foes to con

There is only one place in the world
where the sun sets twice daily. and
that Is at Leek. in Sta f~fordshire. Eng
land. The reason Of this is that a jag
ged mountain is situated to the west OF
the town. and In the evening the sun
sets behind 1t and darkness comes On.
Then the first sunset cur the gas
lamps are lit. and apparently night has
set In. But 1t has not. for In the space
of an hour or so the sun reappears

these do not usually notice it by any

Catfish depend principally on the
