the only natural treatment for the
cure OF these troubles Breathed
through the neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit, the air that

heals all irritation Of the mucus men,

Hyomei is prescribed by physicians
generally. Many Of them use It them

pneumonia.
The complete Hyomel outfit consists
Of a neat inhaler that is 50 small and
convenient that Il can be carried in

case OF catarrh. In chronic and deep

economical treatment for this disease.

The last coal commission appointed
by the state Of Pennsylvania recently

there Is much OF interest, says the Chi.

commission have reached the conclu-
sion that at a depth OF 5000 feet the tenn

sidered that depth OF at least 1900 fee,
might ultimately be reached in coal
mining.
The rate OF increase. the commission
ers thought. might for ordinary cases be
assumed to be one degree Fahrenheit
for every 60 feet. but Il is In reality i'm
possible TO give any fixed rate Of in

In the shade of the hill and despair.

And drenched by the tears Of the god Of
the years.

For cen when hurry away

In the dark and In glare Of the day.

From sockets Of skulls without eyes.

BIOGRAPHY or a RED FOX.


Our red fox was the very liveliest
young animal we ever had in the house.
There wasn't mean hair in his dear
little body but he was so mischievous
that space would not permit of my emu
merating one-half the things he broke
or destroyed in one way or another,
writes Ernest Harold Baynes, in Wom-
ans Home Companion. For some days
we fed him exclusively on milk, but one
evening Iiheld out to him small piece
Of row beef, AT first he did not realize
what was offering him, but after sniff
fling it for moment. he sprang forward
with a savage cry, and seized the meat
in his teeth. l was startled at the
change which had come over him. The
gentle. woolly, blue-eyed cub which but
a moment before would have gone quiet
ly to sleep in my hand had in one instant
become a savage wild beast, snarling
dercely, with ears laid back, and swapping
with it's baby teeth at the hand which
sought to caress it. And though we
sought to divert him in every way we
could think Of, it was two or three days
before he quite forgot that meat.
eHe soon became very playful, and he
was never quiet, except when he was
asleep. He searched the rooms for
scraps Of paper, balls OF. twine and other
small articles, and having found some
thing to interest him he would run on
with it, shaking it as he went. He was
very fond Of us all, and when he re-
turned. after an absence Of an hour or
more, he showed his delight by wagging
his tail. putting out his tongue and
painting open-mouthed, as We often see
little dogs pant under SIMILAR circum-
stances. -
1t soon became evident that steady
diet of milk was becoming tiresome to
him, and was obliged to give him meat
at least once day. Each time he had
1t he showed the savage side of his ma
ture, which was never to be seen at any
other time. Gradually I increased his
allowance Of meat, until one day gave
him more than he could eat at one meal.
The bits Of beef had been placed on a
newspaper, and when he found that

at the time. he lifted up the corners of
the paper with his mouth, and deliber-
ately covered up what remained. APP
parently he did this with the intention
of hiding the food until he needed it;
and sure enough, as soon as he was hun
cry. he came back. uncovered the meat
and ate 1t. Thereafter. when he was
given more meat than he could eat on
the spot. he hid it.

THE CAR AND THE VETERAN.
An OccasiOn When Ruasin's Ruler
Wa. Enabled to Reward
Faithful Service.

The car of Russia may not be able
to do all that an autocrat would like
to do, but he knows the way to the
hearts Of his subjects. His greatest
difficulty is to pierce the hedge of Off
Gals which surrounds him day and
night. Sometimes, however, he is able
to do a good action with his own hand.
Such an occasion came to him while
walking in the park of his palace at
Tsarskoe Selo. Striding backwards
and forwards deep in thought, as is
his habit, he was surprised to hear a
voice over his head calling to him:
"Your majesty-little father!" Look
Ing up he saw q white-haired old SOL
der cleaning lamp. An inquiry as
to his wants brought out the fact that
the old man had been 81 years in the
service without having merited>punish-
ment, and that he was wondering If
he would have to remain a soldier to
the day Of his death. The car told
him to ask the officer about it, but the
old fellow refused, saying it Would
only earn him q beating. Once the
officer had been mentioned the EN-.
peror was scarcely able to induce the
veteran to give him any particulars.
Only after crossing himself on q prom
1se not to meh.lon anything to the off,
Ger did he elicit such fae;.s as led hin,
to sign the soldiers discharge after
raising him to the rank of sergeant.
Farther inquiry showed to the car
quite number Of veterans awaiting
pensions who had been overlooked.
Nicholas II. Of Russia is one Of the
most domestic of European soverel5ns:
He is never so happy as when able ito
withdraw to his family circle and spend
some quiet hours reading and talking
with the czarina. Szz. sS s.as

Waited FOR SEVEN HOURS
Three Couples Kept 1t Up While the
Orchestra Played 1871 Diff
ferent Tunes.

One OF the most startling novelties in
the dancing line has set all Paris talking
and there are couples that are now being
trfated as If they belonged to the nobil-
tty, says a recent report from the French
capital. These couples danced for sew
en- continuous hours in a contest, and
when they were through both the dan
GERS and the orchestra were ready to
drop.
The proprietor of the Sale Wagrain
offered prizes for the couples who could
dance the longest The contest began at
II p. m. and A couples started.
They were all composed of young men
and women, with the exception of one
couple OF two men. and the male part
ners included a soldier and two negroes.
The only hard and fast condition of the
contest was that couples should dance
without cessation and keep WALKING all
the time.
At the end of the first hour four
couples had stopped dancing; at the
end OF the second hour IL more had had
sufficient. and at the end of the sixth
hour the competitors had dwinled dow1
% five couples. 1t was now five a. m .
and the ten valiant dancers showed evi.
dent signs Of fatigue. Their faces were
pale and their eyes, were encirculed by
ominous black lines.
But they could stand 1t as long az the
band. they said, and to keep up their
courage their friends in the audience
brought them from time to time oranges,
brandy. coffee. ard other stimulants,
which they had to take while dancing.
One couple had very hard luck, for after
dancing with spirit for six hours the
gallant cavalier "a pork butcher) in
formed his willing parner that he had
to be at work at five o'clock, and with a
regretful adieu he left the hall.
Those who remained on the floor kept
1t up for an hour longer, and when all
the other competitors had succumbed.
the survivors performed 4 last round
OF the hall at six o'clock. They had been
Walking seven hour, and when they
had finished. I 900 spectators gave them
tremendous ovation. The audience did
not know which to applaud the most, the
dancers or the orchestra, for during the
dancing the latter played an endless
chain Of l61 waltzes.
