WHAT is CATARRH7
Hyomei Only Guaranteed Cure for This
Common and Disagreeable Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method Of breathing it into the air
passages and lungs. 1t kills the germs
OF catarrhal poison, heals and soothes
the irritated mucous membrane and
effectually drives this disease from
the system.
If you have any Of the following
symptoms, catarrhal germs are at
work somewhere in mucous membrane
of the throat, bronchial tubes or
tissues of the lungs.

ON ST, VALENTINES EVE.
appropriate and Charming Enter
tainmeDt For Guests.

No evening in all the year seems quite
So suspicious for Il party rs st. Nalen-
tines eve Many and varied are the
pleasing fancies carried into execution
for such an occasion, and concerning
these the Boston Cooking School Maya
zine is authority for the following:
one very pretty custom is to have a
small boy dressed as Cupid meet the
guests In the hall and invite each gen
tleman to try his skill with bow and
arrow. The young ladies are taken
into another room, from the doorway
of which two hearts overlapping each
other are suspended. The gentleman
must shoot In the direction of these
hearts, and as each arrow flies the girl
at whose feet it falls will be the gen
teman's partner for the evening.
A rather similar custom is to have a
small evergreen tree in the end of the
parlor. hung with pink paper hearts.
On the back of each heart is written
the name of one of the ladies among
the guests. There should. of course. be
az many hearts as there are ladies. If
gentleman aims unsuccessfully he Is
allowed three trials. The hostess, who
is supposed to understand something
of the predictions of her st. Valentine
guests, removes each heart from the
tree as it is hit and scrlbbles the name
Of the successful archer beneath that
of the young lady whose representa-
tive it is for the time being. Needless
to say, this rule Is rarely carried out to
the letter, and only those names are
placed together whose owners the host
ess knows or imagnes will be sym
patlca.
As all of the hearts are collected be
fore each gentleman receives the one
on which his name is written no sus-
piclon need be aroused of any lnterven-
ton save that of the kindly blind god
himself. When two fond hearts find
themselves partners for this delightful
evening it is much pleasanter to be
lieve 1t is all due to st. Valentine than
to the hostess graceful tact.
Sometimes the hostess offers prizes
for the most correct gucsses rs to the
number of petals in big pink paper
rose. Each petal Is numbered ana has
an appropriate quotation inscribed upon
1t. The lady and gentleman guessing
the number nearest the, correct one re-
ceive the prize together Flowers. pic
lures or any dainty trinkets are appro-
pirate for these prizes, and for the con-
ISOLATION one n candy Cupid or large
pink candy heart The petals of the
rose having been numbered in pairs
that Is, two OF each number--each lady
and gentleman selects one. and their
fatcs 1.-THE quotations. are then read out
together.

THE HERMIT

Korea, the Bone of Contention
Between Russia and

Korea, the real bone of contention be
tween Japan and Russia a. it was be-
tween China and Japan in the war of
lSgE95. is certain to be the scene of
much fighting If there is to be war in
the far east Meanwhile neither of the
threatening nations seems tC care what
the Koreans or their emperor thinks of
the situation.
Korea IS an ASiatic kingdom lying to
the northeast Of China, between the
Yellow and Japan seas. 1t is about GOO
miles long from north to south, l35
miles from east to west, with an area
Of about $1,000 square miles. The pop
ulation of the kingdom, according to
the last government census, is loops
937. and it possesses several good natu-
raj harbors
Buddhism grated on spirit and an
cestor worship may be said to be the
religion of the country. The people
are tall. robust and good looking and
belong to Monaghan stock. their Ian
guage being Turanian, with the add
ton of many Chinese words. They

the commerce of the country is falling
into the hands of the Japanese and
the Chinese. The soil is fertile, but
only partially cultivated. Rice, beans
and all kinds of grain are raised; also
tobacco, hemp and cotton. Gold, cop
per- coal and iron abound.
1t is hermit nation, with history
said to reach back 1000 or 5000 years,
and from the earliest known times Ko-
rea has always protested against the
presence of foreigners in her territory.
This is the country toward which the
fighting men of Japan and Russia are
reported to be fastening with the ex-
cuse of preserving order and protect
ing Korea in its independence. Should
Russia obtain control of the Hermit
Kingdom her occupation of Manchuria
would be secure. and the japanese
would be kept away from her frontiers.
She would also secure the ice free
