WHAT is HYOMEI?
You Have Heard About the Catarrh
Cure Henry Evans, 922.z4 F St
NV, Guarantees.

Hyomei is a wonderful antiseptic, 80 powerful
that it promptly destroys germ life yet its
action on the mucous membrane is extremely
soothing and healing. 1t relieves catarrh In 1--WE
minutes; 1t cures in a few weeks or money back.
1t is made chiefly of eucalyptus and eucalyptoi
taken from the eucalyptus forests Of inland Aus
tralla. The medical profession knows that euca-
lyptus is an absolutely certain germ destroyer
and with the active principles OF eucalyptus as
a base Hyomei is made more efficient pleasant
and quick acting by the addition of Thymol. an
antiseptic and disinfectant largely employed In
the Listerian System. Guaiaeol and other i'm
portant medicinal agents are also included in the
Hyomei formula, which, without doubt, is the
greatest destroyer Of catarrh germs the world
has ever known.
Hyomei is powerful, penetrating antiseptic
that is pleasant to use. 1t does not contain q
particle Of cocaine. opium any habit forming
or injurious drug.
No dosing the stomach when you use Hyomei.

Cooperation Of Railways.
It L. announced that the railway COM
panies are organizing a great conserva-
ton movement in connection with the
policy OF the government. A committee.
Of which Mr.. A. S. Baldwin, chief engi-
neer Of the Illinois Central railroad. is
chairman. has been appointed to confer
and cooperate with the forest serv-
ice and the officials OF the conserva-
ton movement. 1t Is proposed to con-
slider seriously the situation of the rail-
way companies with regard to timber and
fuel. They are the largest consumers OF
wood and coal in the world. 1t is assert
ed that the railways of the United States
burn more than two hundred million tons
Of coal and use more than two billion feet
of timber annually, and far-sighted men
In the raily'Sy business are beginning to
wonder how long our natural supply will
last.
This is not a new subject. It has been
discussed and written about over and
over again, and there are almost as many
opinions as writers on the subject; but
until recently 1t has been left to the the
orists. Now, the practical men, the rail-
way engineering associations, the master
mechanics association and other organ
izattons which represent the ablest and
mCSI LnoUSnt1ul railway 0OllQerS, are De-
ginning to think Of plans by which the
natural supply Of fuel and timber may be
preserved and economical.
Increase in Prices.
There has been a general increase of
prices on the Pacific slope. particularly in
farm products. Clothing, furnishing
goods, household furniture. kitchen uten-
sils and some other manufactured arti-
cles are offered in cheaper forms than
formerly, but it is not economy to buy
them, and the same quality of all such
articles is higher. All kinds of food
products are very high-much higher than
they are in the east-and naturally the
cost Of living corresponds. This is a par
tial explanation of the high wages that
are demanded by all kinds of labor.
Skilled mechanics receive S. and Sc a
day, ordinary mechanics So and 81. COM
mon laborers from $3.50 to $3.50 day.
Rents are high because the rapid growth
Of all of the cities and towns creates an

WOMAN SUFFRAGE I'M SWEDEN.
The highest distinction which has
yet come to the cause of woman
suffrage throughout the world is I'M
doubtedly the victory won last month
by the suffragists in Sweden, when,
bv a substantial majority in each
house of the Diet, law was enacted
providing that hereafter all persons,
without distinction of sex, who shall
have attained a designated age, and
who fill other prescribed conditions,
shall exercise the parliamentary fran
chise. Sweden is an Independent
nation whose people are among the
most enlightened on earth, who ap-
parently are quite willing to confde
to their women equal powers with
their men in deciding vital questions
Of national welfare and defense. Wo-
man suffrage now obtains in Norway.

Washington, April 9.-Of the SO
foreign embassies and legations in
the capital city that of the fiowery
kingdom is admittedly the most pic
turesque. Men and women wear the
costumes of their native land whether
for dress occasions or for everyday
purposes. Washingtonians have
grown so accustomed to Cinnamon in
native dress that little attention is
paid to them when they appear in
public places, but Chinese women are
still few, and when one is seen on
the street she is followed by the
curious.
Nine. WI. wife of the minister, DR..
WI Tingfang, is rarely seen outside
of the legation except when driving.

The Return to individual

The Return to individual
Literary Dgest.-The land ques-
ton has always been the hinge of
revolution. Private ownership OF
land was brought to the French
peasantry through the devastations
of the gullotine. Somewhat simiL-
arly the land question has constantly
been to the front during the slower
and more smoldering revolution OF
Russia. At present the common land
OF the mir is all the peasants enjoy.
For the Russian peasant there has
not been a square foot which he
can possess. convey, or buy under
his individual title. But the Russian
Parliament is now seeking to alter
all this. The mir, in spite of much
opposition, is to be abolished. This
moyemen, resembles in some ways
our governments new plan OF
allotting the Indian tribal lands to
individuals. Some argue that the
Russian peasant will sell his allot-
menu. waste the money, and become
a pauper, while others maintain that
his Little plot Of land. will be the
making of him.
This profound change in the eco
nomic and social conditions OF rural
Russia has. according to all interpret
ers, been recently decreed or sane
toned by the third Duma. The gov
errment's bill for the gradual disso-
luton Of the mir (the village com
munaI system OF land tenure), an
ancient and famous institution, and
the conversion of the peasants into
individual proprietors with full lib
erty TO buy and sell land, has been
accepted by a decisive majority. The
principal provisions have been ap-
proved. and the rest is regarded as
a mere matter of formality and de-
tail. The bill gives legal effect to a
decree which the government prom
ulgated between Dumas" though
its right TO take that momentuous
step was vehemently denied by the
advarCed constitutionalists. Under
the fundamental law" rejection OF
the bill by the Duma would have
caused the temporary act to lapse.

Knox as a Sleeper.

A popularity of Secretary of State
Knox is his ability to go to sleep at
any time he pleases and to wake at
any minute that he desires. Few men
have this faculty. Napoleon Bona
parte and Gen. B. F. Butler were able
to sleep and waken at will, and Sena-
tor Knox can throw himself down on
a lounge and sleep for half an hour at
any time he likes. If he wants to
catch an early train he can waken
himself at 6 o'clock or at o'clock in
the morning, or at any other time he
desires, but it would be impossible for
him to explain how he does it.-Wash-
