Reproduced the Cantata.

The seventh and eighth grades OF
the city schools, under the direction
Of Misses Grace and VandeBogart,
repeated Amercia's Cantata at the
opera house Monday evening by re-
quest of the Woman's Library Asso-
citation. The proceeds will be used
for the purchase Of books for the
children's corner in the library.
The attendance was very good in
deed, considering the unpleasant
weather in the early part of the
evening. The cantata is divided in
to two parts, the first being the in
PRODUCTION of the representatives of
all nations, each of whom appeared
in costume and addressed the Cod
dess Of Liberty. The second part
was made W of drills and choruses,
all Of which were very interesting,
and displayed much work on the part
of the teachers who had the affair
in charge. One of the prettiest was
the drill Of the original thirteen
states, each Of the girls being
dressed in a national costume. The
military drill by three companies I'M

tain Charles Jones was we'll done,
and the boys finished up with a roll
licking good song. The entertain
ment closed with all the characters
on the stage and they sang "Colum-
hia, the Gem of the Ocean" Miss
Florence Winsor and Frank Winsor
and Walter Adams furnished the
music for the evening. James Greg
DRY is entitled to much credit fol-
drilling the boys and girls in the
marches. The entertainment was a
fine success throughout and it was
enjoyed very much indeed by the au-
dience. If the expenses are not toe
great there will be quite a little
sum of money left with which to pur.
chase books for the library.

There is no reason why a dromedary
should not be partial to a good cigar.
Most dromedaries. according to a me-
nagerie proprietor, are particularly
fond of tobacco smoke and can be made
to do almost anything under its intlu-

thing else. When travelling OH long
journeys the dromeduries are in many
cases required to travel night and day
without rest, and the beasts are kept
up to their tasks by smoking cigars.
The driver carries a triangular piece of
wood, which is pierced at one point
like a cigar holder. This is inserted in
the mouth of the beast, the cigar being
lit and pressed into the hole in the same
fashion followed by man.
The dromedary Immediately closes
Its eyes and puffs away through its nos

a FINE ENTERTAINMENT
Seventh Attraction on the Lecture
Course Was a Most Excel
lent One.
lent One.

There was not MUGS cause for
criticism in the entertainment given
by the Central Grand Concert Co.
at the opera house Tuesday evening,
which was the seventh %attractiv2 Of
the lectute and concert course. Mr..
George Champion, the basso cantan-
tie, was easily the star of the evening
and his singing gave the utmost sat-
isfaction. Mr.. Champion has a
powerful voice, of wide range and
the manner in which he uses and
controls it speaks volumes of praise
for his artistic work. His selections
are admirably suited to his voice and
every n Of them was thoroughly en-
joyable. he sings with a depth of
feeling that makes his work all the
more appreciated. Mr.. Champion is
a comparatively new man in the west
but that he is winning his way into
the hearts of the people there is no
question. Miss Agnes Pringle, the
yiolinist, was nearly all that could
be desired. What she lacks in power
she makes up in tone and 5rilliancy
Of execution. While her numbers
were much Of the same style of mu-
sic yet each selection brought forth
some new beauties under her magic
touch. Miss Maude Chappelle, who
is a substitute for Mrs. George, was
winning in her ways, and her voice
showed good training. Her work
was hardly up to the standard of
the other members of the company.
Walter. A PyclS, the pianist, had to
play his way into favor. but that he
did so is unquestioned. AS an ac-
companist he played his selections
skillfully, always subordinating the
instrument to the voice or the violin.
In his piano solos Mr.. Pyck showed
an entirely different character of
work aud he tinishe1 a brilliant per-
Yor,,s.'ce. Prof. La1dner of the
Uniperslty, who was On the program
for a number, recited as he never did
before and his rendition of the court
room scene was that pathetic and WV
idly given that there was hardly a dry
eye in the house. Such work as that
is certainly a winner. He responded
to ashearty encore. The entertain
ment throughout was Of a high class.

lcuaEs WITHOUT STOMACH DOSING
Hyomei Cures Gatarrh by Simple
Rre&thing-Scallin Bros. Re
fund Money if 1t Fails
to Cule.

A long stride toward solving the
mystery OF curing catarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In
fact, the percentage of cures by this
treatment proves its equal to the
final tests.
The folly of taking medicines into
the stomach to cure catallh of the
nose, throat and lungs. has been
realized by physicians, but not until
Hyomei was known, had they a prac-
tical method that would obviate
stomach drugging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81, and consists OF a neat pocket
inhaler that can be used anywhere
without attracting attention. a med
icine dropper and Il bottle of Hyomei.
Breathing Hyomei through the in
haler, every particle Of air that en-
tiers the nose. throat and lungs, is
charged with ID healing balsam that
soothes and allayes all irritation,
kills the catarrhal germs and enrich
es the blood with additional ozone.
Scallin Bros. have so much faith in
the power OF Hyomei to cure catarrh,
that they are selling it under their
personal guarantee to refund the
money il it does not give positive
relief.

AN UNIQUE PARTY
Mrs, s. c. Jones Entertained Party
of a Washington Birthday
Nature Monday.

Mrs. S. c. Jones gave a five o'clock
tea Monday afternoon which took on
the nature of a Washington birthday
affair. The rooms were handsomely
draped with flags and the national
colors, while the picture of Washing
ton occupied a prominent place.
The door was attended by Harry
Rathbun, who was dressed i'm a
Washington costume. Tables were
placed in the various rooms and
they were decorated with carna-
tions, and the entire scene through
out the house vas very pretty. The
tea was served in four courses and
the hostess was assisted by Mrs. F.
81. Wlnsor, Mrs. A. b. Hager, Miss
Florence Fosdick, Miss Bessie
Thompson and Miss Ethel Lyons.
During the serving of the tea the
guests were entertained with piano
and flute selections by Miss Alice
and Frank Jones. The place cards
at the tables were indeed unique.
They were pictures Of the birthplace
of Washington and colonial scenes
Fand were retained as souvenirs. On
the reverse side of the cards the
guests were requested to write the
names of the twenty-five presidents
Of the United states in the order Of
their administrations. Mesdames
Thompson, Burns, Boyce, Blynn,
Walrath and Coursey were the sue
cessful ones, and they cut for the
prize, which was won by Mrs. Blynn.
The method of entertaining by the
hostess was highly endorsed by the
guests and they expressed many kind
words at taking their departure.

In popular belief plum pudding,
though difficult of digestion. contains
a large proportion of nutriment. The
London Lancet publishes the analysis
made of two buildings. of which one
was found to have a nutrient value
of 6S per cent and the other of 90.
1t appears that, although most agree
able as an article of food, plum pud-
ding is not quite so concentrated a
form of diet as has been supposed, and
conjectures that 1t yields as much sus-
tenance as beefsteak are certainly not
supported by it's chemical compost
ton. The amount of heterogeneous mat
ter is only moderate. and it must be re-
membered that in calculating the nu-
TRENT ratio and value all the nitrogen
has been assumed to be alhum1noid.

consequently the food value are slight

results; also the percentage of water
is rather large. and the quantities OF

Russian Design. ON Norway.

1t becomes more and more evident
thai the award of the Nobel prize for
literature to the Norwegian poet
Bjornstjerne Bjornson was a political
act by which it was intended to bring
about a reconciliation in political mat
tiers between the poet and King Oscar.
The two men have overcome their mu-
tual unfriendliness on the subject Of
the separation of the northeastern part
Of Norway, which is now generally re.
garded as lost to the crown Of Sweden.
Strange as it may appear. the Russian
secret agitation has made great head
way among the fishing population Of
that region.
