FROM the time of enactment oi
laws by the Legislature to the time
when they are published in pam
phlet form, fully FIVE months must
elapse, and in the meantime these
laws are operative. This has re-
suited in hardship to many law
abiding people in the past, and will
continue to do so unless some
method of informing the public of
the passage of the laws is adopted.
This can be done without incurriug
great expense to the State treasury
by compelling their publication in
at least two newspapers in each of
the three counties; and, for the
benefit of the people, this should be
done. 1t would be well for the
Legislature to fix a maximum rate
Tor this work, similar to the laws
OF New Jersey; where the pay is
but little more than the cost of
composition. This matter should
be taken up for consideration bv
me Legislature early in its session.

The Ari.to.rncy oe birth.

Why did the %afistocracy OF parent.
age fail to hold IT'S own? Why did 1t
die II In America and. practically
speaking, in all the British colonies?
1t had every advantage ut the outset;
1t held the inside track. 1t failed be-
cause two great laws of the universe
were against lt-tirst. the laws Of
arithmetic. and, secondly, the laws Of
physiology. 1t violated the principles
Of arithmetic because it required that
each individual or household should
have a distinct line of ancestors. and
1t would thus be discovered in a few
generations that there were not nearly
enough ancestors to so round, leaving
people in the position OF Mark Twain,
who declared that he had mo parents
to speak of. only Il father or mother
or SO" 1t was contrary to the laws Of
physiology, as shown by the deter1ora-
ton of IL royal family after another
in Europe, these having come to re-
semble those English ace horses
which have so much blood that there
Is very little horse, and it must be re-
plenished from a more plebeian stock.

What the Jan. cn,, Japan.

A certain Japanese who has been for
some years a resident Of Philadelphia
and who has many friends here was
speaking the other night of his own
people
"Of course" he said. I'VE do not
call our country Japan. Our name for
1t is Nippon OF Suns Origin indicat-
ing its position in the extreme east.
But when we speak of the entire en-
pire we call 1t 'Dai Nippon which
means Great Nippon"
The Jap's eyes twinkled.
at is not" he meditatively conclud-
ed, embarrassing to reflect that Off
the eastern and western boundaries Of
the greatest mass of land in the world
there should exist an insignificant
group Of islands Inhabited in each case
by a people of very mixed origin and
very mixed characters. each of whom
expresses its defiance of its geograph-
tcal insignitcance by the same Means

BREATHE HEALING AIR
Hyomei Destroys Germs of Catarrh
and Cures the Disease-Suu
ey Back If 1t Fails.

No other treatment for catarrhal
troubles is as pleasant and conven-
lent for use as Hoymei. Simply put
twenty drops of Hyomei i'm the i'm
haler that comes with every oultt,
and then breathe it for a few min
utes four times a day, and it will
cure the worst case of catarrh. In
this way, n takes into the air pas
sages OF the head, throat and lungs
air that is filled with balsamic heal
ing and antiseptic fragrance. 1t
goes to the most remote parts OF the
air passages, destroys all catarrhal
germs, and enriches and purifies the
blood with additional ozone.
The first days use Of Hyomei will
show a decided improvement, and i'm
a short time there will be no further
trouble with catarrh. Its good
effects are quickly gained, and the
benefit is permanent.
You take no risk in buying Hy-
omei. The complete outfit costs but
one dollar, and if, after using you
can say that it did not give satisfac.
ton, Scallin Bros. will return your
money. You have the promise of
one Of the most reliable drug firms
in this section, that Hyomei will
cost you absolutely nothing, il you
can say cit did not help You are
to use it entirely at their.risk. with
the understanding that your money
will be returned without question or
argument, if you are not satisfied
with Hyomei.

Her Early Re.olution..

This story is told by an Englishman
who lived a century ago: He was din
Ing cut in London and sat by a lady
whom he did not know. Their CONVEX
sation turned upon early resolutions
and how very seldom they were kept,
and the lady said: We'll. when | was IL
girl l made three resolutions-hrst, 1
determined that l would never marry
q soldier; secondly. tia: would never
marry an Irishman, and. thirdly, that
l would not be long engaged. And all
those three resolutions l broke. Whom
do YOU think did marry? The Duke
Of Wellington! He was a soldier and
an lrishman, and | was engaged to
him for twelve years" This was Lady
Katherine Pakenham. 1t was an un-
happy marriage, and the couple mostly
lived apart.

wn.er,.<ged servi.n..

An Englisawnman travelling in Ser
via thus gives IL striking glimpse OF
her own %preju,iices and tastes: The
Servians drink too much cold water.
and they drink it till they are pulpy.
An average Serb drinks enough cold
water for an English COW. l Doubt
whether the language contains an
equivalent for bad training for when
l tried to explain the idea it created
surprise. "A doctor told me he had
never heard the theory before. To him
1t seemed Il natural and wholesome
habit. Moreover, he added. there Is
plenty and seemed to think it wa.
rather wasteful to leave my unswal-
lowed. To me 1T explained the lack of
activity. The nation is w~aterlogged.
All day long and every day the Serb
calls for a glass Of cold water, and
when he has drunk it he calls for an
other. Perhaps owing to this he has
little space for alcohol. At any rate,
I never saw a drunken man, even
among the peasants"

Love phut-r..

A favor:te plant with the old hero
afists was satyrion, a name applied to
several species of orchis. AS far back
as the days Of the Roman empire 1t
was commonly supposed that the roots
OF the satyrion supplied the satyrs
with food and prompted them to COM
init those excuses for which they be-
proverbial. Kircher relates the
case Of a youth who, whenever he WIS.,
tied a certain corner of his garden, be-
came so lovesick that he mentioned
this strange circumstance to a friend.
On examining the spot it was found to
be overgrown with a species Of saty-
rton, the odor of which alone had the
enect Of inspiring love.-Chambers'
Journal.

where whne Ant. Are Useful.

A white ants nest Is about the last
thing in the world one would expect to
be Of practical service to mankind, vet
in Western Australia white ants and
their nests are put to a variety of eco
nomic uses.
In the first place. the aborigines
sometimes eat the ants, and there are
even a few white residents who have
tasted them for tho sake of experience
and say they are Aot bad. But it IS
not a habit with the aborigines to eat
the insects. They prefer to devour the
mold out Of which the ants build their
nest.
Capital ovens are frequently impro-
vised by the Australian prospector out
Of these white ant mounds. They make
q Uolid floor, almost like cement, ~
the settlers huts, and in the township
Of Derby, in Western Australia. they
have been turned to profitable use by
being rolled in as a top layer on the
public roads.

A scotch Answer.

A good story of an old crofter who
appeared before the commission to ap-
ply for a reduction of ent was recently
told ut a meeting in Glasgow. The
number Of cattle on the farm led Sher-
III Brand to observe that surely the
croft could not be in such a bad way
as Its owner would seek to show.
"Och." replied the old fellow, you
should see the bit beasties." What
like are they?" queried the sheriff.
They're as lean. sir. as Pharaoh's
kline" How lean was that?" asked
the sheriff. doubtless thinking that he
had cornered the applicant. But had
he? Not a bit. Like a flash came back

incidents outside. He studied the SUBJ
1ect, and his search in the mystery
was the beginning Of all that is beau

The orchid is a peculiar plant, for,

like the violet. others like the rose, the
hyacinth, the daffodil. Orchids are the

world. in odor as we'll as form and

A favorite card game of the japanese
Is played as follows: One hundred we'll
known proverbs are selected, each di-
vided into two parts and each part
printed on a separate card. The host
Of the evening has the hundred first
halves, which he reads aloud, one by
one, the hundred second halves are
dealt to the other players, who place
their hands face upward on the "tata
NIL" or thick mat of rice straw, on
which they sit. AS the first half of
any proverb is read the holder of the
second half throws it out, or If he sees
1t unnoticed among his neighbours
cards seizes it and gives him one of
his own. The player who is first out
wins. 1t is a very simple anne, but 1t
affords great entertainment to the
players. for the quicksighted and keen
