Another speciality of hers is to arrange for the funerals of babies and little children. In fact. the undertaken in question puts this entire branch of his establishment under her direction.

Listening as Well as Talking.

The wise woman is a good listener al well as good conversatlonalist. It is much more of an art to draw out the best thoughts of other people than 1t is to converse well oneself. One often meets persons who never enter a room full of people without monopolizing the conversation. Their faculty for useless chatter is unlimited, and their conversa- pronoun 'T."
 We'll bred people have a wholesome dislike of talking about themselves. One never knows how much they know oI what wonderful sights they have seen unless some circumstance occurs to bring It out. It Is left for the person of few Ideas and narrow vision to keep up a ceaseless chatter. It is the occasional traveller who seeks to impress upon her friends Nhe fact that she has seen some thing of the world. She never misses a chance of speaking about 1t. While this Is not an unpardonable fault, it is a dis agreeable one, which sometimes causes ihe inveterate talker to be spoken of in terms anything but complimentary.

CURES CATARRH
"Hyomei the Most Wonderful Cure
tor catarrh Ever Discovered"
says Wortley & French.

Do not try TO cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomrch; it cannot be
cured in that manner. The only way
in which this too common disease can
be cured is through direct applica-
ton that will kill the bacilli of catarrh
and prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method OF
treatment that accomplishes this.
1t is the simplest, most pleasant, and
the only absolute cure for catarrh that
has ever been d scovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimonials
have been received from the most
prominent men and women in the
country who have been cured by this
remarkable remedy Ministers, bank
ers, lawyers, even eminent physicians
have given strong testimonials as to
the remarkable powers of Hyomei to
cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but Sl.00, consisting OF an inhaler
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect cure
In ordinary cases, but for chronic and
deep-se cases OF catarrh, longer
use may be necessary. and then extra
bottles Hyomei can be obtained for SOC.
1t is not alone the best lit might be
called the only method of ciring Ca
tarrh, but it is also the most economi-
cal.
Wortley & French have so much
confidence In the power OF Hyomei to
cure catarrh, that thed will for limit
ed time, sell this medicine under their
personal guarantee to refund the mon

compositions for his programme, for he invariably selects pieces which are in teresting to the audience as well as the players.
 The composition of chamber music has always been a favorfte field of en- sdeavor on the part of the great mas ters of the art. It is a difficult form to work in. The opportunity for con- cealing barrenness of ideas by brillian- 3cy of color, which is so great in orcfes- tral works, is rare in music written for a few instruments. For this reason a successful piece of chamber music is a high achievement. Works in this form are usually somewhat simpler and easier to follow than orchestral music. They appeal to the highest musical taste and yet they are easily compre- Iended. Those who learn to like cham Der music usually prefer it to all other kinds.
 The Kneisel Quartette concert Satur- day evening is of more than ordinary interest by reason of the fact that it will inaugurate the new Lampson Ly- ceun as concert hall This building was built last spring, and forms the north side of the quadrangle of which White Hall and Fayerweather Hall are the other sides.

The programme of the Kneisel Quar- tette concert, to be given Saturday evening in Larnpson Lyceum, will be of unusual interest. Musical enthusiasts will welcome particularly the third and last number on the programme, Bee thoyen's great quartette in c major. The other works to be played are a brilliant and difficult quartette by Schumann and a Chaconne by Bach, composed for violin without accompan- irnent.
 MT. Franz Kneisel, one of the world s greatest violinists, will play the last named composition.
 The presence of the three great names, Bach, Beethoven and Schu- mann, on this programme is sufficient evidence of its artistic value.

An audience of considerable proportions witnessed the performance and enjoyed the frolic and frivolties of the comedians, the singing of the prin- cipals and chorus, the exceptionally pretty and fantastic dances, and the brilliant spectacular effects. This lat ter was a special feature of the finale of the first act and produced a scene of dazzling brilliancy. The transforma- tions were distinctly original and beau tiful.
 Much mention might be made of the numerous catchy songs given, but sui flee it to say that the student portion of the audience quickly caught the tuneful lay and whistled them to such an extent that they were providing en- tertainment for the players rather than vice versa.
