CURES CATARRHAL DEAFNESS.
One Weeks Use Of Hyomei Did More
Than Six Months Treatment bS
Specialists.

In the treatment Of deafness which is
often a result OF catarrh Hyomei acts
almost Immediately upon the infiamed
membrane and the hearing begins to re-
turn at once. A few days treatment will
bring relief, and in three or four weeks,
according to the severity of the case, a
cure will be accomplished.
Miss Meeks of Mattewan, n. ~, says
"Hyomei is truly wonderful. have used
it but a short time and see a great change
IN my condition. My hearing is improv-
ing rapidly, and had no idea ! would inn
prove so rapidly in so short a time. My
breath which was so offensive to myself
and others, has lost its bad odor entirely.
l have spent great deal Of money with
catarrh specialists and can truly say that
six months Of their treatment is not equal
to one month of Hyomei.
f. f. Bryan is selling Hyomei upon the
unusual plan OF agreeing to return the
money II the medicine does not cure.
A complete outfit costs only Il and con-
sists of an inhaler that can be carried in
the vest pocket, medicine dropper and a
bottle Of Hyomei The inhaler will last a
lifetime and there is enough Hyomei for
several weeks treatment. Additional
bottles OF Hyomei can be procured for 90
cents. Compare this small expense with
the fees charged 10y specialists and then

REASONS FOR HEAD HUNTING.

The principal reasons for which heads are
taken may be summed UP in a few words.
First, as sign of valOr and token of manhood,
and. second, as q ready method of keeping the
score III blood feud. Some of my readers may
be surprised that stop short at two reasons.
for it is common belief in England that the
wild Dyak of Borneo is in the habit Of prowling
around with a large knife, like the lion of
Scripture. seeking whom he may devour" and
also that he collects heads in much the same
way his white brother collects postage
stamps butterflies. This, however, is far from
being the case and the native of the far in
terror is IN reality a very mild savage. whose
principal vice is the habit of becoming eX
tremely intoxicated a fermented drink which
he makes from a far too large portion OF his
rice crop.
We will briefly analyze the first of the two
reasons given above for which the young
buck" sallies forth on head hunt. Undoubt-
edly in days gone by tho possession of a head
implied that the owner rather the
owner, had successfully met and conquered an
enemy. The young brave staggered home with
his newly acquired trophy, feeling that he had
at last donned the toga virilis. and entitled
to marry wife and join in the councils Of the
men, Festivities were held, large quantities Of
tapia (rice wine) were consumed and the hero
of the hour having taken possession of Il room
in the married" portion of the long house that
shelters the whole OF a Dyak village. and found
q damsel to share it, would proceed to hang up
the head as proudly as his English brother
hangs up his first sporting trophy.
Times have deteriorated since these good old
days. and to find the reason il faut chercher la
femme. The young matron whose husband had
tnree neaOS DeIOre ms room would
sneer at the woman whose spouse could boast
but two and the latter was probably nagged at
and badgered (for women are alike the world
oyer) TIL he went out and procured another
And so by slow degrees the first question asked
by prospective father-in-law OF q suitor for
his daughters hand came TO be not How much
brassware have you?" but How many heads
have your and self-respecting girl would
look at q who could not boast his two or
three. Well knowing this, the ardent lover would
take good care 20 provide himself with the nee
cssary number. As time went on successive
generations became less particular as to the
way tho heads procured, till at the present
day g head Is merely head, no matter what TIA

one only interview with Nelson. The anecdote
is. too familiar for reproduction here. Less
well known, probably or less remembered, is
a similar testimony borne by two officers, Cap

served with him under varying circumstances.

conversation with Sir Samuel Hood. Mr.. Lay

great things he ever saw; that he had seen him
petulant IN tri1es and as cool and collected as
a philosopher when surrounded by dangers In
which men OF common minds with clouded
countenance would say, "Ah! what Is to be
done?" It was a treat to see his animated and
collected countenance in the heat Of action
Sir Alexander remarked this seeming inconsis-
tency and mentioned that after the battle of the
Nile the captains of the squadron were desirous
to have a good likeness of their heroic CHIEF
taken, and for that purpose employed one OF the
most eminent painters in Italy The plan was
to ask the painter to breakfast, and get him to
begin Immediately after. Breakfast being over
and no preparation being made by the painter,

IRVING AND HIS TRENDS.

His earliest meeting with Disraei formed an
incident Of which the present writer had per
sonal cognizance. The statesman had witnessed
from Mr.. Alfred de Rothschilds box the per-
formance OF "The Corsican Brothers" at the
1yceum. At the fall of the curtain Beaconsfeld
expressed his delight to the actor. ''The piece"
he added, quantity gives allegorical re-
minder Of some episodes in my own career
During the same conversation Irving, with
deferentially demure humor, suggested a pos
Eible biographical analogy between the part OF
Mr. Washington Wells in "The Sorcerer" and
the popular idea of the Disraelian policy. The
great man delighted Subsequently he in
vtted the actor to Hughenden. OF the conversa-
ton there recall detail from the visitors
account: Whom do you consider the greatest
orator you ever heard?' ''I should say" after a
pause came the answer, Daniel Whittle Har-
vey." Regularly invited. like his friend Toole
to Giadstone's Downing-st. breakfasts, Irving
rarely attended them. Regretting on one occa-
sion his absence the host remarked: 'Irving's
success is creditable to the public as it is to
himself 1t reminds one that the popularity
which rests basis Of intellectual strength is
safe. and that with the English people, at least,
good work or any kind sooner or later brings its
reward He may have exalted his art. He
has certainty taught his age The Irving-Ten-
nyson meetings were fruitful in memorabilia
had any record of them been kept. Here is one
specimen, recounted in his most amusing man
by the actor and afterward confirmed by the
poet Habitually preoccupied at table, the
laureate on this occasion had shown exceptional
absence OF mind. After dinner a pint of the
port, immortalized in the verses TO the Head
Waiter at the Cock" made its appearance The
guest entirely avoided the wine Presently the
bottle was empty. Holding 1t up TO the light
the bard with a sort of comic ruefuiness re-
marked. DO you always take bottle of port
after dnner?" Every drop. Of course, had been
consumed by the host. These and other Irwin
gian anecdotes depended so much on the histri-
onic accompaniments Of their recital as, when
written down, TO deem badly devoid OF point
With preparation Irving could so control his
facial muscles in moment to reproduce the
countenance of Gladstone or of his great rival
Between the latter and the actor there existed q
certain similarity of feature that sometimes
produced a startling dramatic effect In 1885
the second Duke OF wellington had secured the
artist for his visitor at StrathfieIdsaye. When
IN evening dress the guest entered the room an
lnoescrlbable expression of awe and amusement

WHY ARNOLD BOECKLIN USED NC
MODELS.

He first fell In love with the daughter of a
trunk maker. but she got Inflammation of the
brain and died. In 1852 he became enamoured of
the daughter Of weli-to-do Basic burgher but
the girl refused 10 marry pennllesS painter
This circumstance, 1t seems, prompted him to
leave Base and to go to Italy. where he was
more fortunate in his wooing and soon married
a young Roman girl, Angelo Lorenzo Pascucci
who remarkably beautiful, brought him a
small dowry, together with good luck. and re-
mained his true and stanch friend throughout
his whole life. which is more than the majority
OF husbands say. She took care Of his
finances and of his bad health, and but for her
probably the artistic world would never haye
heard Of Boecklin. She bore him fourteen chill
dren of whom six only are alive.
But the misfortune was, he said himself,
that his wife had the ideas OF the ancient
Roman matrons and would not permit any fe-
male model in the studio. Without model he
could not paint. and had he insisted having

for him. AS he deeply loved and respected his

Sketch.


Mrs Evelyn has become mainly celebrated
through her husbands diary Her home life,
however, is typical one. The daughter of Sir
Richard Browne, Ambassador in Paris, she mar
ried Mr.. Evelyn, plain country gentleman
when only sixteen, and passed her days at Sayes
Court, her fathers house, where her husbands
diary was written and the famous gardens
made
Sayes Court was a small house, strangely
unsuited to an Ambassador, for it consisted only
of two stories. On the ground floor was a hail.
a parlOr. kitchen and buttery, a larder, a cham
ber and three cellars, while above were eight
chambers. four closets and three garrets; yet
in this limited space lived, at one time in har-
mony and happiness. not only the Eveyns and
the Brownies. but also a brother Of Lady
Brownies and his family. Such arrangements
were common enough in that day They con-
duced TO economy and to cheerful society Life
was simpler and more patriarchal; maids and
nistresSeS mixed together and were conse-
Quently better friends.
AS an example of kindly equality, Lady Lang
ham called her maids early, that she might be
sure that they had time for their private devo-
tions''
Lady Alice Lucy used to join in the psalms
and hymns with which the maids and men made
the old hall resound at night, and many noble
ladies lived thus indifferently, surrounded by
their households.
Mrs. Evelyn herself was an experienced house
wife and her husband has left a charming

time when
men courted and chose their wives for their frugal

In considering the question Of the adequacy Of

the classes whose industry supplied the material
needs of mankind the former devoted itself
to the establishment and working Of political

motion Of religion. The domain of its operations
included Parliament, the navy and the army, the
