RUSSIAN BRASSES FINEST.
Best in Color and Quality-Are to Be
Found in Queer Little Shops
in Gotham.

Russian braSSeS are possibly the
heaviest and finest in quality and color,
says Harper's Bazaar. One may find them
in the queer little Russian shops in the
lower part of New York and Boston.
The growing interest in brasses has en-
couraged their importation, and if one
has patience to barter, many artistic
treasures may be obtained at very rea-
sonable prices. The most Characters
tic piece is the samovar. These are
treasured very highly by those who are
fortunate enough to possess them. They
are found in innumerable shapes and
sizes, witness to the tea-drinking hab-
its of the Russians. Every Russian
peasant who is prosperous enough to
enjoy the luxury of tea has his samovar.
At all inns each visitor is supplied with
one. They invariably accompany the
traveller and the picnicker. and even the
officers starting out upon a campaign
find room for small one in their bag
gage. Samovar signifies self boiler"
1t is made of brass. lined with tin, and
with tube in the center in which the
hot cinders of charcoal are placed after
having been ignited Often a pine CON-
meets it with the chimney, and two
friends will sit for hours drinking the
boiling hot weak tea.

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 aud so called
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs of the disease will still live
in the air passages and increase and
multiply.
Hyomei is the only scieutifc and
thorough way to cure catarrh. Kill
ing the germs in the air passages, it
enters the blood with the oxygen,
destroys the microbes in the blood
and effectually drives from the
system all traces of catarrhal poison.
Thousands of testimonials have
been given as to the astonishing cures
made by this remedy.
Mrs. LIE Rendu, 10 Western Avenue
Cleveland, Ohio. writes: Il believe
Hyomei saved my life. l am better
now than have been in thirty years.
Many doctors, both in England and
France, treated me for catarrh, but
l was not cured until used Hyome."
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered aS To the powers
of Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact
that John E. DAILY will agree to re-
fund the oney if you say HyOmei
has not cured you.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but SI.00. consisting of an iuhaler,
trooper and sufficient Hyomei TO last
several weeks. This will effect a cure
in ordinary cases. but for chronic
and deep-Seated cases of catdrrh,
longer use may be necessary, and then
an extra bottle of Hyomei can be
obtained for 30 cents.

Crying Want of the United States
That Has Recently Been
Pointed Out.

Sid Edward Clarke's criticism OF
Secretary Hays attempt to monopolize

fails to note how bereft the people OF
this republic are of anything like a
name, writes a Washington correspon-
dent of the Boston Transcript The
United States" does not afford one
since nearly every federated republic
on this hemisphere is entitled to use
the same designation. Mexico and
Canada, and all the Central and South
American countries, and even little
Panama, has a geographical name of
its own and so is not dependent upon
what is really term descriptive of
the form of government. America, tc
be sure, is shared by other occupants
of this hemisphere. but since they all
have a more specific name which they
can use, they should be obligins
enough to give us what they do not
need to use themselves
1t is also noted that almost every

is wholly out of the question to think
now of supplying this want. Too many
interests have grown up, in literature
and song, even if an ideally suited
name were available. Nor is it easy
to change the name of countries in
this age of the world. The proposal
which was seriously presented by sew

OIL ON THE TROUBLED SEA
Only Six Gallons Required to Steady
Big Liner During
Storm.

Six gallons of oil fed to an angry sea
protected the passengers of the big
Hamburg-American liner Pretoria from
the fury of tempest all day long, re-
ports the New York Herald of late

in Hoboken from Boulogne nearly two
days behind her usual time.
According to Chief Officer LANCER,
the voyage was characterized by a sue

ship left the French port almost until
Sandy Hook was sighted.
On Saturday night of that week
the barometer gave a sudden drop.

Despite her great size the Pretoria

gigantic waves like some frail cookie

were having a thoroughly miserable

Africans That Are Not Black.

Few people know that there are nearly
10000 900 of natives in Central Africa
who are not black, and who do not look
much like the other savages in any way.
These natives have peculiar yellowish
copper color, and their skulls are much
larger than those of the negroes. No
body knows any reason for the differ
ence between them and the other Afri-
cans Some scientists think that they
are descendants from European or Asia
tic races that wandered into Africa tens
of thousands of years ago. Othera say
that they are aboriginal inhabitants of
the country and that their color is due
to the fact that they are gradually i'm
proving and growing beyond the negro
type. But these are all guesses. All
that anybody knows with any certainty
is that they are there.
