Unworthy.

1t was the sweet scent Of the lilies
in the conservatory, or the beauty Of
the young girls hair, that led to his
proposing to the debutante in white,
as they rested in the shadow beneath
palm.
1T cannot be-" she said. II am un-
worthy Of you"
"Oh, rubbish said he.
1T is true; it is true" And she
sighed.
You are an angel" he said. ardent
ly.
mo, no; you are wrong" said the
young girl. II am vain, idle, silly, ut
terly unfit to be your helpmeet through
life"
He laughed lightly, then said, in a
soothing voice:
why, this is sheer madness. What
sort of a wife do you think / ought to
haveT
"A very wise, deliberate, practical
woman" she replied; 'one able to live
on your small salary. ."-Titbits.

Ancient Collins.

The coffins of the ancient Egyp-
tians were made Of marble and stone.
The Romans used similar receptacles
for their dead, and Alexander the Great
is said to have been buried in a coffin
of solid gold. In parts Of England glass
coffins have been found.
The Athenian heroes were buried In
cotfins made Of cedar, owing to its aro-
matte and incorruptible qualities, while
the first record of wooden coffins in En-
gland dates back to the days of King
Arthur. This monarch was supposed
to have been buried in the followed
trunk of a gigantic oak. Patent coffins
were invented in 1896, and metallic air
tight collins were advertised at Bir-
mingham in 1861.

Salt as n Dust Layer.

Salt is the latest device for laying
dust on roads in the country. The au-
thor of the new departure is NJ. Trint-
zins, city surveyor of Rouen, who has
published it as the result of a long
series of experiments. The list Of these,
while bringing out the weak side of
the new system, possesses considerable
interest as showing it to possess real
possibilities Of utility. A long stretch of
road was first watered and then sprin-
kled with salt. The next day the sur
face of the road was covered with q
thin glazed crust. Rain removed this
in parts, but where the glaze remained
there was no dust for five days.

BARRIERS Ages Ago.

The first BARRIERS of whom there is
any record piled their trade In Greece
in the fifth century B. C. In Rome the
first BARRIERS operated in the third cen
tury b. C. In olden times In England
the barber and the physician were iden-
tical. Thus, kings barber was also
his chief medical adviser.
In the time of Henry VIII. of En-
gland, laws were made concerning bar
bers, Of which the following is an ex-
tract: mo person occupying a shay
ing or barbery in London shall use any
surgery, letting of blood or other mat
ter. except the drawing ofsteeth."

cATARRH GROWING LESS.
Due to the Use of Hyomei-Cures
Without Stomach Dosing.


Inquiry at the local drug stores
shows that the sale of remedies for
catarrh has decreased very much IN
the last year. Some medicines which
We're formerly bought gross at time
are now purchased in half dozen lots,
and are rarely called for.
There is one notable exception TO
this decrease in sale. and that is
Hyomei. This remedy is. in fact. re-
sponsible for the decrease IN sale of
catarrh medicines. as il has made so
many cures of catarrhal troubles that
naturally there il much less demand
for remedies for that disease.
People who nave been trying differ
ent medicines for Catarrh during many
years were induced to begin the use
of Ryomei by H. o. Rolls guarantee,
that the remedy would cost nothing IN
less cured Much to their surprise,
they found that Hyomei did what It
claimed Cif it did not H. o. Rolls could
not sell it under this GUARANTEED and
they soon became ardent advocates of
the use of Hyomei.
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing with Hyomei; it is used by be-
ing breathed through a neat pocket in
haler The complete outfit costs but
one dollar, extra bottles, if needed, so
cents
With every Hyomei outfit Fl. o.
Rolls gives his personal guarantee that
the money will be refunded unless the
treatment cures, so that you run no
risk at all in buying this reliable rem
