Greek Palate TfckIers.

As deIicacies the Greeks ate young
foxes caught in the autumn, robins and
sparrows and certain kinds of fish
shared by moonlight. There is a scrap
of an old Greek comedy in which a
cook boasts of frying a fish so exqui-
sitely that it threw him grateful looks
from the pan. A famous Greek dish
was the Trojan pig, half Of it boiled
and the other half roasted. 1t was
stuffed with eggs, ortolans and
thrushes. The Romans ate snails-
giant monsters - fattened until their
shells held an incredible amount of
snail. The kettle in Il high class Ro-
man kitchen was often shaped like an
elephants head. The water was pour
ed through the trunk. The gridiron
might be a huge silver spider or a
skeleton fish.

Under Guarantee.

Summer is the best time In the whole
year for the treatment of catarrhal
troubles, ana Sampson & Avore urge
every reader of the Somerset Reporter
to use Hyomei now and be permanently
cured.

samic healing air penetrates to the most
remote parts of the nose, throat and
lungs, searches out and kills the catarrh
germs, in all parts of the respiratory
organs and sooths and heals any irrita-
tion there may be in the mucous mem
membrane.
Hyomei is not alone the only natural
treatment for catayrh, but 1t is the only
one sold under an absolute guarantee to
refund the money unless it gives satis-
faction 1t kills all disease germs and
restores the mucous membrane of the
throat, nose and lungs to perfectly
healthy condition.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81 90, extra bottles, SOC. Sampson &
Avore sell Hyomei under an absolute
guarantee to refund the money If 1t does
not give satisfaction. You run no risk
at all in buying this guaranteed remedy.

ARRESTlNG OLD AGE.

today carries the spirit and power of

How to Prevent Coughing.

Coughing is the worst thing for a
cough, and in most instances of cough
there is more coughing than is neces-
sary to subserye the purpose of the
cough-i. e., to remove offending ma
terial. The following conditions will
help one minimize coughing in all IN
stances, while in the milder cases it
may stop the cough altogether after a
little perseverance: When tempted TO
cough take a deep breath, filling If pos
sble every air cell, holding it until the
warming, soothing effect comes or 50
long as is reasonable, and mark the
modifying result on the cough which,
even when the latter seems unayoid-
able, will often be found under control.

BLENDING SPIRITS.
Curious Results Obtained by Mixing
whisky and Water.

Curious Results Obtained by Mixing
whisky and Water.
Some curious results are shown by
blending of spirits. Take nineteen and
one-quarter gallons of high proof spirits
and add twenty-five and one-fourth
gallons of water, and, strange to say,
you have forty gallons, and not forty
one and one-half, as one would natu-
rally suppose This is reasonably ex-
planned by the large globules of the
spirit absorbing the small globules of
water, thereby lessening the volume of
wine gallons.
Here is another phenomenon: Take
equal parts of whisky and water, each
at a temperature of 10 degrees F. Mix
them and the temperature rises at once
to 80 degrees.
If two barrels Of whisky are placed
under a roof. one with the bung in and
the other with it out, the former will
gain in proof While the latter will lose.
This Is due to the fact that when the
bung Is in there is no evaporation, but
the barrel absorbs the water much fast
er than it does the whisky. When the
bung is out there is evaporation, and
the spirit evaporates easier than the
water.
These are a few of the facts that an
old rectiier who can neither read nor
write has gathered in fifty years of ex-
perience as a cellar man. He keeps
trace Of his liquors by their marks,
and, Strange to say, he can read his
gauges and thermometers with accu-
racy and Is curious and exact in his
knowledge of chemistry as applying to
his trade.-New York Press.

Elasticity of spiders, webs.

Did you ever watch Il spiders web
on Il windy day? If SO, you will notice
how wonderfully it accommodates
itself to the swaying of the twigs to
which it is attached. 1t is in fact elias
tic of the very finest quality. Were 1t
not for its elasticity the poor spider
would not long survive. The first
breeze would rend the silken meshes
of the web to atoms and the owners
stock of new material would very soon
be exhausted in repairs and renewals.
Besides its elasticity, the spiders web
is very sticky. a properly which ac-
counts for the ease wherewith 1t holds
insects when once caught.

twisting sentences, however, are good

control of your vocal organs so that
