of q 900 people, scattered in every state in
the Union and Canada; that 1t had paid
out over 100000 in benefits and had dis
bursed over 81, 100000 in charity; that 1t
was the greatest order in Judaism today,
and urged his younger hearers to come into
the fold.
After his address Mr.. Einstein. on behalf
of the committee, invited the grand master
to the hall below, where banquet was
served.
The success of the affair was due to the

the true merit OF the combination of healing gums,
oils and balsams OF which Ii is composed
Many leading physicians indorse Hyomei and pre-
scribe It for catarrhal troubles In fact, quite
few of them use 1t themselves TO break up cold
and prevent pneumonia. They regard 1t as q nat.
urai. yet scientific way of curing catarrh
Breathed through the pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit, Hyomei destroys all catarrhal
germs In the air passages of the throat and nose
soothes and heals the irritated mucous membrane
and eYectuaily drives from the system all traces
of catarrhal poison.
No one should confound Hyome with the patent
medicines that advertised eatarrh cures. 1t
Is as superior to them oil the diamond Ia more
valuable than cheep glass.

Badger Mixed the Bureaus.

The late William Badger of Read
ing, Mass, who was once a prominent
furniture manufacturer. when a jour
neyman worked for William Kingman,
who was familiarly known as "Old
Bill Kingman.
Mr.. Badger had taken two lots Of
bureaus to make, and just before
quitting time one night he put the
cases together. Now it happened that
one lot was mahogany and the other
black walnut, and, the light being
rather dim, he got the ends mixed,
gluing and mailing them securely.
When "Old Bill' arrived at the shop
in the morning he looked at Badgers
work, and his quick eye discovered
the mistake. He called Badger, and,
pointing to the cases, said: See here.
Badger, what kind of work do you call
this? Here you glued these cases up
with one end walnut and the other
mahogany"
Badger replied at once: "Why,
that's ali right. You can't see both
ends of a bureau at the same time
,an you?"

EAGLES GROWING scARcgR.
In the British isles Eggs Are 6eeom.
lnu Higher.

The eagle has grown scarce in the
British Isles. The eggs OF the bird
grow yearly higher priced a couple
Of eggs from Scotland recently
brought $40 apiece. An old record
states that in the seasons 1SS1.'3l. in
elusive, no fewer pan Ill mature
specimens Of the eagle, together with
ffty-three young and eggs, were de-
stroyed in single county of Scotland
Sutherland: from which statement
one can well imagine the cruel havoc
that has been wrought in the ranks
of once very common bird CT prey.
No one denies that the engle Is de-
structive TO game and lambs, but It
seems pity that so noble a bird
should be so utterly wiped out of eX-
istence, for the eagle has many intec-
esting associations with the past. In
Scotland a century or two back three
eagles feathers were the badge
chief, two of chieftan and one OF
Z gentleman but more interesting
still is the fact that the flesh of the
eagle was considered in the seven
teenth century "a valuable medicine
against the gout" The same author
fly also states that the bird was some
times eaten by the hardy Highlander
as part of his ordinary diet.
