A Good Dog.

There was an EnGlishman who inn
ported Il famous Wofhound from Eu-
rope some years ago, to get rich catcn-
ing wolves for the scalp money offered
by the state of TeXas-S1O each. Some
genuine Texas sports were invited to-
witness the first chase. They followed
many miles through the prairie grass,
but without getting sight of either wolf
or hound. Finally they came to Il wood
ed spot, where a suffering native was
chopping. Did you see a wolf and
a hound pass just now?' cried the Eng
lishman. "Y-e-e-e-s, sir; they j-j-jus'

What a Blind Girl is Coinq.

Few magazine articles in recent
years have attracted more attention
than one in the Worlds Work for De-
cember describing the work Of medi-
cal missions all over the world. Peo-
pie who are Indifferent or even hostile
to foreign missions have said empha-
tcall:, That's the sort of thing | be-
lieve in!' Among the most pitiable
classes to which they minister are the
blind. Opthalmia is exceedingly COM
mon all through the East. Parents
think~it as natural for their children
to have this disease of the eyes as to
eat figs and grapes. The idea os~re-
lief for the blind came first from the
missionaries. An interesting case in
Turkey is that of Mary Haratounian.
Il little Armenian orphan who had the
partial use of only one eye. She had a
great thirst for knowledge and attend

the care of the American Board. a
year after her graduation she lost her

School for the Blind, and returned to
her own people and opened a school
for tic blind in Oorfa. She adapted
the Braile system to Armenian and
pre- pared several books for beginners.

eminent surgeon, performed an opera

INVITE A TEST.
Bowditch, Webster & Co. Ask Catarrt
Sufferers to Try Hyomei on Their
Guarantee.

Bowditch, Webster & Co. invite all
who suffer from any form of catarrhal
troubles to get a Hyomei outfit from
them with their absolute guarantee
that if it does not give perfect salts
faction, the money will be refunded
upon request.
There is no other treatment for
Hyomei, none that gives such quick
curative results and lasting satisfac-
ton. no medicine that can take its
place, none that can be sold on a
guarantee like this. to refund the
money unless it cures.
Catarrh is a germ disease and can
be cured only by breathing Hyomci, so
that the most remote air cells in the
nose, throat and lungs are reached by
its antseptic healing powers In this
way all catarrhal germs are killed. the
irritated mucous membrane is healed
and catarrh is driven from the system.
This wonderful medicated air treat
ment does not drug ana dcrange the
stomach, but is breathed through a
little pocket inhaler that goes with
every dollar outfit.

Manufactured "Relics."

One of the curios on exhibition in
Pittshurg, at the first international
convention of the Young Peoples Mis-
sionary Movement which has Just been
held there. was a board about two feet
long by one wide bearing an inscrip-
ton in japanese. This bit of hard
wood attracted considerable attention
because it bore the original edict
against Christianity issued by the Mi
kado no longer ago than 1868. The
translation reads thus:
Hitherto the Christian religion has
been forbidden and the order must be
strictly kept. The corrupt religion is
strictly forbidden. Done in the Cd month
of the eth of Kyo March, 1851
This order was nailed on public build.
