vas moved from the electric light pole

about five miles has been put in this

tn old uncovered kind. as it protects
the boxes and delicate mechanism of

KILLS GERMS OF cATARRH.
Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Disease
and Makes ASTONISHING Cures,


Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills. liquid medicines and so-called
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs of the disease will still live
in the air passages and increase and
multiply.
IIyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing
the germs in the air passages. 1t en-
ters the blood with the oxygen, de-
stroys the microbes in the blood and
cffectually drives from the system all
traces Of catarrhal poison.
Thousands of testimonials have been
given as to the astonishing cures made
by this remedy. J. S. Nugcnt, treas
urer o: the American Union Life In
surance Co., If New York city, writes:
daughter of oatarrh from which she
has teen suffering for years.
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered as to the powers
of Hyomci to cure catarrh is the fact
that Eowditch & Webster and Percy
w. Means will agree to refund the
money if you say Hyomei has not cured
you.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but Sl.00 and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and bottle of
Hyoinei. The inhaler lasts lifetime,
and if one bottle does not cure. an ex-
ira bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
for 80 cents.
Now is a good time to cure your ca
tarrh.

Uses of the Shoe Horn.

"He would be but narrow minded person." said the salesman, "who thought that the shoe horn was de- voted solely to the pulling on of shoes.
 "Why, 1 have had persons come in here who picked out a shoe horn with blade that would make it con- venient implement with which to eat ice cream. They lived in a boarding house, maybe, where they hadn't any spoons of their own, or not enough to go around, and where they might on some occasion have friendly and familiar guests, and where they might bring in ice cream.
 Lacking spoons enough, a nice sill yer shoe horn of the right shape isn't the unhandiest thing in the world with which to eat ice cream, by any means; and I suppose that more than one has been put to such use.
 And I have heard of such a thing as a shoe horn being used to stir up fudge, made in chafing dish. And, having no knife, what could you have much handler than a nice thin bladed silver shoe horn for cutting up cake, at an informal entertainment among friends?
 "Oh, no. The shoe horn is intended, primarily, no doubt, to be used in pull ing on shoes; but it is really put to many s."-New York Sun.

LOSS TO ACTREssES.
No More Revenue to Them In Sale sf
 RhOfOurn nha

Photographs. | Popular actresses made in the past from $500 to $1,500 year on the sale of their photographs, but now this source of revenue is altogether lost to them.
 "I drew from my photographer, up to ten years ago, regular annual in- come of $S00 I was under contract 10 pose only for him; he had the ex- elusive sale of my pictures, and on each picture that he sold he paid me a royalty.
 That is the way it used to be with popular actresses. They signed papers to the effect that they would pose only for one photographer, and he signed papers to the effect that he would pay them q royalty on each of their pic. lures that he sold. Thus they made easily from $5 to $25 week.
 No such pleasant condition exists to-day. The change is due to that per. fectng or the half-tone process where. by the magazines. the weeklies and the newspapers can reproduce photo. graphs beautifully.
 As soon as that reproduction began the theatrical managers spared no pains to get photographs of their lead. ing women printed, for they recog. nized that the publication of such pho. tographs was an excellent advertise ment. They ordered their leading women to pose for any and every newspaper or magazine photographer who presented himself, and they had additional photographs made for free distribution among the various publi. cations of the land.
 Thus the actresses were forced to break their contracts with their own photographers. Thus, too, the sale of the pictures fell off For these pictures, which formerly were rare enough and interesting enough to sell readily, were now become so common, through thei1 reproduction in innumerable prints, that hardly anyone cared to buy them" ."-Newark News.

old Joke True.

The old jokes about the antiquity of the ballet girl have gone out of fash ion, and it is not likely that they will be revived now that the ballet has be- come so much less important than it used to be. The show girls who fig ure in contemporaneous musical pieces are, as a rule, too good-looking to ad- init of any jokes on that subject. So the reality of the situations existing iu some of the comic opera choruses is for that reason more interesting.
 A fair member of one organization is the daughter of another. Mother nat urally occupies a somewhat inconspic. uous position in the line. Daughter, on the other hand, is right down in front in the beauty TOW. She is only 19, so her relative in the company is not so old as the relation suggests.
 In another company the mother os one of the principals is in the chorus, In theatrical troupe that played here last winter the wife of the leading man used to be the principal lady SVDer

Japan Has Few Fence Posts.

In Japan, when farmer permits . telegraph or telephone pole to be erected on his land. he has made . great concession to modern reform. Only the exceedingly rich have fences around their farms in Japan, not be- cause of the cost of the fence, but because of the value of the square inches the posts and pickets would consume. If border is desired around field, 1t is customary to plant mulberry trees. The total area of ground In Japan thus devoted to the silkworm tree. which otherwise would be taken up with fences, amounts to about 190,000 acres This has no ref erence to the mulberry farms and groves, the area for which is over three times as much. The fact that Japanese farmer is forced to figure on the amount of ground fence-p would occupy, and the interesting fact that the government, in it's statistical enumerations, has had the areas cOv- cred by individual mulberry trees on farm boundaries carefully computed, demonstrates the great value of arabic land.-Rooklovers Magazine.
