INVITE A TEST.
Bowditch, Webster G. Co. Ask Catarr1
Sufferers to Try Hyonei 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
catarrh that in any way resembles
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 Hyomel. 50
that the most remote air cells in the
nose, throat and lungs are reached by
it's antiseptic 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 and derange the
stomach, but is breathed through
little pocket inhaler that goes with
every dollar outfit.
Bowditch, Webster &c Co. sell Hyomei
attest their confidence in the remedy
Sold and guaranteed in Waterville
by Geo. w. Dorr and in Gardiner by
C. H. Beane.

An AUGUSTA Teacher Abroad---L Letter No. 20

not hurt his feelings if we ventured
to glance at the display of jewelry at
the next stand. The mosaics were Ger
tainly pretty, but as we did not have
any intentions of buying them we were
somewhat surprised when the follow
ing incident occurred. He showed US
several brooches at fifty cents each,
then he dropped to thirty then to
twenty and finally he let US have five
"fifty-cents' brooches for one lire or
twenty cents, and we wonder today
what their real value is.
The wavering scale of prices renders
it difficult to make purchases in Italy.
One afternoon I wanted pair of rub
bers, and stepping into store asked
the clerk how much they were. 1.-Two
dollars" was the prompt reply. Not
saying anything because 1 didn't know
how. I turned to go. BY the time |
was half way out of the store the price
was one dollar aud half. When | was
in the doorway it was seventy-five
cents so l bought them.
One morning we read in our guide
books an alluring description of the
road to San MiniatO and started out,
obeying implicitly our Baedeker.
Through the gates of the city VIC
walked and along the beautiful prone
made of the Niale Machiavelii going
higher and higher at every step and
looked
I'm the valley beneath where. white and
and wide
And washed by the morning water-gold
Florence lay out on the mountain ide. =
Still up and up we climbed, the road
which we were following changing its
name several times, and we began at
last to wonder where San Mniato was
On reading our guide book again we saw
that we had taken the carriage road
to the church, rather than the pedes-
trian trip. We did not regret it though,
for lovely villas bordered the roadway,
the trees We're in bloom and the view
varied from moment to moment.
AT last we entered San Miniatos gate
way, superb piece of work which
was constructed in 1929 by Michael
Angelo, in his capacity Of engineer TO
the Republic, and this same fortress,
for such it was then, was defended by
him during the eleven months siege
Of the city by the imperial troops.
Again we found at San Miniato art
looked, but one thing that was peculiar
~ interesting was the large circle in
the center of the church floor, for in
this large circle were portrayed the
tWtalve signs of the Zodiac. There
were the archer, the fish and all the
representatives of the months, staring
right up at us from their lonely posi-
ton.
Leaving San Miniato we followed a
road which lead to some steps that
took us very abruptly down to the city.
We were only fifteen minutes return
ing whereas We were two hours going,
but we enjoyed the walk as we had
made a circuit of several miles and
had seen the villas of many illustrious
persons.

hill, and we thought that if the
audience in the Olden times ever
wearied of the actors and combattants,
they could enjoy the scenery and
dream dreams to their hearts content.
We entered the door-ways through
which the actors probably came, sat
on the seats reserved for the grandees,
climbed up the aisles and eighteen
tiers of seats. went into secret
passages, played hide-and go-seek
with each other, and thoroughly en-
joyed the calm of that spring after
noon. We had left spring behind us in
southern France yet here we found
her in Italy, and violets were blossom
ing amidst these ruins at a time when
her sister violets had finished bloom
ing in Avignon.
But all pleasant afternoons must
end, so with one last lingering look we
left Fiesole, and walked the greater
part Of the way back to the city.
Passing the Protestant cemetery we
entered and came upon the grave of
Mrs Browning. The stone is a long
flat oblong one, with her face carved
on one side, and on the other musical
emblems. Not far off is Theodore
Parker's grave. We did not have the
mania for grave yards that so many
have, and unless we knew that some
person of note slept within, we could
pass a dozen burial grounds without
the slightest regret, but that day way
off from the United States, it did seem
good to us to see the grave of an
American citizen.
This is what we read on his tomb
stone.
Theodore Parker, the great American
Preacher. Born at Lexington, Massa-
chusetts, United States of America,
August 24th, 1910, Died at Florence,
Italy, May 10, 1860.
His name is engraved in marble,
his virtues in the hearts of those he
helped to free from slavery and super
sttion.
Everywhere in this little cemetery
flowers were blOsson?ing in profusion,
and we rlucllcd handful before we saw
the sign, DO not pick any flowers -
so as we had too many to smuggle
through the gateway, we left them as
parting tribute on the grave of Thco-
dore Parker.
Returning to our Pension we paused
for a time near the UffiZZi Palace in
front of a souvenir post card stand. 1t
was a beaming little old man who kept
this stand, and we preferred to trade
with him, than with his more enter
priSing rivals, for we noticed that the
prices of his cards We're always the
same. 1t takes Il great deal to say
one cent in Italian, but we had mastered
finally the 'cinque centessini'' and
used to like to air it when our audi
cnce was not too critical This little
old man had come to know us, as we
seldom went past without buying q
post card of him, and he enjoyed
showing us his latest photographs even
if he knew we should not buy any. On
that day however his neighbors were
determined to make us look at their
Inosaics, and as our little merchant did
not deal in these, we knew it would

March day we went to Giotto'S tower
and entered tram car, that was
divided into two parts, one first and
the other second class, and it sped
along with an uncertain motion, that
suggested the bObbing of row boat on
the crest of a wave. Up and up we
rode

There's the bell clinkng from the chapel

We could sit on the steps and admire

There was plenty to see however,
although l suppose it was the here

forbidden fruit that made us look re-
gretfully back at the FRANCISCAN
monastery, as We proceeded to the
Piazza del Duomo That square was
filled with souvenir stands and all
