 By this division of the estate there came the splendid collection of en- cravings in the Topper home as well as some money invested in Camden real estate. The Topper collection of Turner engravings is much smaller than 1t was several years ago. A number of the rarer engravings were
 sold and some were presented to par ticugr friends Nevertheless there are
 now more than enough engravings for
 an art lover to spend a delightful
 evening inspecting.
 There Is for instance and it is per-
 haps the best of the collection. a rare
 famous painting of the Fighting Te-
 fneraire," the old three-decked war
 vessel which had won such a world
 wide fame. The picture represents the
 Temeraire being lowed by a small tug
 up the river to be broken to pieces.
 the last journey the old .man-o-war was to make. The old vessel shows dark, gloomy and ghastly in the wan
 ing light of evening with a pufing lit- tie steam vessel towing it along. The engraving strikfngly shows the gloom and pathos of the last sad journey of the old vessel, it's funeral march up the river.
 Another engraving or speCiaI note IS the engraving of his we'll known painting 'fThe Eddystone Lighthouse"
 torn down now. but due to the genius
 with which it was put on the canvas the most romantic and picturesque lighthouse on the English coast. Not only is the old light house shown but the splendor of storm at sea is por- trayed.
 Hard by are other engravings show ing the wide range of Turner's art. one showing Cairo, with it's atmosphere of
 ease and romance and another clas-
 sfcal scene representing a part of Rome.
 A valuable part of the collection is
 Il series of Turner engravings repre- sentfng marine scenes at various Eng fish ports. The collection embraces the
 engravings of his well known paint ings of Cowes, Tynemouth, Westhaven and Gosport. Turner, had a marvel
 lous gift for presenting the mystic and ser<he gloom of the sea.
 The Topper collection embraces. too,
 series of strikingly beautiful land- scape engravings. showing for one thing Windsor Castle more beautiful and more picturesque. perhaps. than any other artist ever portrayed 1t. The same series embraces Castle Upton, Keswick. Lake Lawalles and a beauti- full picture of Venice.
 A number of other engravings are carefully treasured and slowed away in strong box in the Topper house.

and Hyomei balm, and as a result OF
its use my head, throat and nasal
passages are all free from secretions
Of any sort, only as nature designed,
and my hearing in both ears is nearly
as acute as it I've was"
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing in using Hyomei; just breathe
1t aud its pure fragrance will kill the
catarrhal germs in the head, throat
and lungs. Hyomei balm used In con-
lection with Hyomei, will cure the
worst case Of catarrhal deafness.
The complete outfit costs but 81,
