FROM THE ASHES,
Baltimore Family's Experience Points
a Moral to Residents Of AUGUSTA.

The visitor to Baltimore TODAY
scarcely realizes that less than a year
ago the city was almost destroyed BY
memorable fire. A similar compari-
son might be made by George w.
Naliy. one of the leading citizens Of
Baltimore, as to the change in his own
looks.
A short time ago, Mr.. Nally, writing
from his home address, 2213 Barclay
St. says Il have been troubled for
years with catarrh and had resorted to
all remedies that could he thought of.
My wife was also afflicted with this
terrible disease but all the treatments
we used were an absolute failure until
we tried Hyomei. 1t worked like A
charm and has made a complete cure
in both of our cases. There is no dis
agreeable stomach dosing in using
HyOmei. We breathed it, and its
fragrance, so Clean pure and bracing
killed all the catarrhal germs in the
head, throat, and lungs
The experience Of Mr. Nally and his
wife certainly points a moral to all
readers Of the kennebec Journal who
are suffering from catarrh. 1t shows
how they can be cured Of this frightful
disease, without dangerous stomach
dosing.
Bowditch e Webster and Percy w.
Means. the local agents for Hyomei,
that they give their personal guarantee
to refund the money in case it does not
benefit. A complete outfit costs one
dollar. the extra bottles are but fifty
cents. Ask TO see the strong guarantee
under which Hyomei is sold.

IL is said fhnt the old Schley Sampson controversy is to be made a political issue. and that Admiral schley's owm story, ''Forty-five Years Under the Flag" which is to be brought out wfA ne of especial interest in view of the fact that the admiral has recently stirred up the controversy about the naval battle of Santiago by an article in the Saturday Evening Post. What ever articles he may write, or speeches he may make, the final appeal as to his position will be in his book The admiral has spent much of his time since the Spanish war in writing the details of his experience, and his recollections are constantly reinforced by references to dispatches and other documents. About one-third of the colume is devoted to the Spanish war, and in 1t we have, in definite, concrete form, just what the admiral did and thought in his own words, If this be true the book will be greeted with still greater interest as a campaign docu- ment. The book will be carefully read to see if everything that the admiral has sai and written so far agrees with this final statement. The ad- miral shows the courage of his con victions in submitting to the test.

Two genuine Egyptian mummies in the Anthropology building at the worlds fair are among the most pop ular exhibits in the building, Judging by the number of persons who con- stantly thronq the lower room of the Egyptian section, where the mummfes are kept. The older of the two is that of the daughter of an Egyptian nobleman and dates from the Late New Empire, about 800 B. O. The mummy is preserved in its original casket which is covered with inscrip- tions. The linen in which the body was wrapped at the time of its em- balming has been removed from the face of the mummy, and visitors may study the actual features of a fellow human who died more than 27O0 years ago. The other mummy, which is completely covered with layers of linen wrapping, yellow with age, is that of nob1eman of the Greek peri cd, about 200 B. C. Both mummies, with the original cofins, are enclosed in glass cases.

 Albert A Slocum, who has been In the
 business of cooking and supplying
 good things, mostly sea food, for many years, has sometimes made barrel bake at Pawtuxet, placing the stones. clams and other things in the barrel
 there, and then sent it to the city to
 be served. The clans cooked on the way up and by the time the barrel ar rived at the place to which it had
 been sent the bake was ready to serve.
 It was beautifully easy and the bake
 was an uncommonly good one at that. Where fish, chicken, sausages or any
 thing of that sort is placed in the bake 1t should be wrapped in a clean, white cloth. This will prevent it's smell Tn cooking from communicating to the other articles of food Sausages are toothsome addition to a bake and l fish is easily cooked. The potatoes

People at the Pines say that almost any morning just after the sun gets up you can look across the creek be- hind the Pines and upon the opposite shore see Henry Gove's dog frolfcking with on old fox and her three young ones. This fox, so it is said, lived with her mate and four young foxes 1n the same vicinity last fall.
 During the winter the young foxes and their father were killed by gun ners, but the mother of the family was spared. Early this spring Gove's dog made the acquaintance of the Fox and ds now on terms of intimacy with her and her brood. It is said that 1t Is a pretty sight to sec the dog ana the foxes frolicking together, but one thing is to be noticed, and that is thar the old fox in the course of the frolics manages to so maneuver that she and the brood are always between the dog and their hole.
