ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS.
Travellers Observations Have Proved
That Weeping Is Common.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst. a
mule has been seen 20 cry from the
pain OF al injured foot and canes,
IL is said. shed tears In streams. saws
a writer In Harper's Weekly. A COW
sold by It's mistress who had tended
young soko ape used 10 cry from veKa-
ton II Livingston didn't nurse Il In
his arms when IL asked him 70.
Wounded apes have died crying. and
apes have wept over their young slain
by hunters. A chimpanzee trained TO
carry water jugs broke one and fell
acrying. which proved sorrow, though
II wouldn't mend the jug. Rats. dis
covering their young drowned. have
been moved 10 tears. A giraffe which
a huntsman's rifle had injured began
10 cry when approached. Sea lions
often weep V the loss Of their
young. Gordon Cummings observed
tears trucking down the face Of a dy-
ing elephant. And even an oranE-
outang when deprived OF its mango
was so vexed that II took TO weeping.
There is little doubt. therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance.

What IS Pe-ru-nQ2
Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic,

Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others raer to Peruna as great catsuh

Returning from Skagway we had a
large number OF passengers bringing
their gold out. The terms in" and
out are used exclusively in regard to
going into or returning from Alaska
or the gold fields. The superintendent
OF one OF the large mines was bringing
down In four small wooden boxes and
several little channels bags $500. 900
worth OF bullion. the result OF a single
cleanup Of the mine. He had two
guards with him. Everyone carries
a small chamois bag more or less full
OF nuggets. The habitues OF the gold
fields are marked by their nugget
jewelry, the men wearing watch

number Of women coming out"
My attention was attracted. on the
passage up, TO a family disembarking
at Juneau. The man. the proprietor OF
a shop. after two years alone in Jul
neau, was returning with his family.

dissatisfied with the first view of her

The poorer women accept the discom-

where and the few women OF the high
er class who find themselves in this
country rise superior TO the small
daily trials OF life in a new and un-
formed community. The wife OF an
old army officer who surprised her
son in Alaska b. a visit found herself
compelled TO pass the winter in a log
cabin 10 feet square. which was the
best habitation her son and his two
partners in the gold fields were able
10 offer her. She found the quarters
limited for four persons. but
she not only accepted the situation
with equanimity. but went 10 work
with a will, making her family of three
young men very comfortable.

iBETTER Than MEDICINE.

Nature has remedy for Catarrh,
a treatment that is far better than
dosing the stomach with medicine.
1t is the healing oils and balsams
OF Hyomei, which medicates the air
you breathe, reaching the most re-
mote air cells in the nose, throat and
lungs, killing all catarrhal germs, and
restoring health to the mucous mem-
brane.
In using Hyomei you are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the only
natural remedy. for it gives curative
air bath to the air passages that has
as powerful healing and antiseptic eff.
feet as that found in the mountains
where the pine forests give OFT thell
fragsant and healing balsams,
Breathe the invigorating and healing
HyOmei, and see how quickly you
will get relief from your catarrhal
troubles. Hooper Drug Co. hasseeu
so many cures, even Of the worst
cases Of catarrh, with offensive breath
raising of mucus, frequent sneezing
droppings in the throat and spasmodic
coughing, that they feel warranted in
selling Hyomei under an absolute
guarantee to refund the monev if il
does not do all that is claimed ior it
They take all the risk.
