BY the Name of *"

In France, where great care IS taken
that men shall have no other nuuse
than that 10 which they are lawfully
entitled and where every citizens
name, profession. social condition and
history are carefully recorded and his
goings and comings are officially kept
track of. some very curious Incidents
take place.
On one occasion a young man was
arrested in Constantine, Algeria, on Il
charge of stealing money belonging to
his employer. When ii was sought to
make a record of his name, it was
found that he had no lawful name at
all.
He had been inscribed at Bordeaux
at the date of his birth. but his father
and mother were not known, and the
name of Lafonde, under which he had
been inscribed without authority. he
had since been forbidden by a court of
justice to bear because it was not
rightfuIly his. After having been for
hidden the name of Lafonde he took
that of Bruyton and was refused per-
mission to bear that.
Nevertheless he managed to exist in
some way without any name at all.
but when, having been accused of TAX
ing some money that had disappeared,
the law was obliged to take c~ognizance
of him in some way he was entered on
the lists of the court as n az" And
it was as tx" that he was sem to
prison.-New York Tribune.

a couraoeous American Actress.

Whatever may be the of
opinion as to the alleged public crit
icism on American society M
made by Miss Ethel Barrymore, the
actress, 1t cannot be denied hat she
has shown herself to be a young wom-
an of a good deal of courage. She de
clares that the reason the information
al marriage in which n of the par
ties is an American girl turns out SO
badly is because u society girls of
wealth are mentally deficient. She
says there is no occasion for brains
in our society. Miss Barrymore is a
society favorite, and she ought to
know.

A RECORD BREAKER.
Last Years Sales Of Hyomei, the
i Guar anteed Cure zforv catarrh,
3 Larger Than Ever.

1 The merits Of Hyomei (the treat
ment that cures catarrh without stom-
ach dosing) its popularity and growth,
are unique in the annals of medicine
So pronounced is the relief and cure
following the use of this treatment
that it has been publicly recommended
by leading druggists and physicians in
nearly every state and town in the
country, with the result that last
years sales were larger than ever.
The fact that Hyomei is so simple
and complete, and that it cures by
breathing medicated air and not taking
drugs into the stomach, no doubt has
helped to create this widespread and
rapidly increasing army of friends.
The way in which it has been sold
by Bowditch, Webster & Co. has I'M
doubtedy aided greatly it's introduce
ton in Augusta. They are such firm
believers in the power of Hyomei to
cure all catarrhal troubles, that they
urge people 10 use 1t with the UNDER
standing that the cost will be refunded
to anyone who is not benefited by the
treatment. You do not risk a cent in
testing the healing virtues of Hyomei,
for Bowditch, Webster & Co. take all
the risk of it's giving satisfaction and
leave you to be the judge.
If you have catarrh, give Hyomei a
trial and you, too, will become it's
friend and recommend it to others.
The complete outfit costs only $1OO;
nothing if it does not cure
Sold and guaranteed in Waterville
by Geo. w. Dorr and in Gardiner by c..
