FREEWATERM LTON
St Louis. May 22. On Wednesday
afternoon some remarkable demon
strations were given in public by T.
L. Cooper, or the "Great Cooper," as
he is called, who Is Introducing for
the first time in St. Louis the prep
arations which created a sensation in
eastern cities.
. The demonstrations took place at
Mr. Cooper's headquarters and were
witnessed by several hundred people.
As nearly as could be learned the
facts were these:
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the
young man agreed to show what one
of his remedies would do for deaf
ness, and agreed to make any one
present who .was .afflicted with deaf
ness 'hear again in less than three
minutes.
There were many deaf people pres
ent and about a dozen of these were
given the demonstration, consisting of
a single application of the Cooper
preparations.
The hearing of these people was
then tested after an Interval of be
tween two and three minutes. The
test consisted of questions put to them
In an ordinary conversational tone
at distances varying from five to 30
feet.
The results were remarkable in
the extreme. Some of these people
who were treated had been deaf for
a number of years. When the first
question was asked 'a look of amaze
ment would spread over their faces
and they would forget to answer the
question. As the questions were re
peated the surprised look would give
way to one of delight Many were so
affected that they burst into tears
and were scarcely able to answer the
question.
la ho single Instance, so far as
could be learned would an Individual
fall to hear. Many were able to hear
a finger snap at a distance of 30 feet.
At the request of Mr. Cooper ques
tions were put to them by their
friends or by various spectators in an
ordinary tone of voice and the ques
tions were readily answered.
In giving an account of these dem
onstrations, Mr. Cooper said:
"The preparation- used is not the
one with which I accomplish most,
as my New Discovery, as it is called,
to which I owe my success is for
the treatment of all forms of stom
ach trouble and the general break
ing down of the system that follows
in the wake of diseases of this char
acter. '
"The stomach is the seat of a great
many troubles, for instance, my rem
edy will relieve thousands of people
of rheumatism in this city, simply
l.y etting their stomachs in working
order."
Many people seen who were pres
ent at this demonstration assert posi
tively that Cooper undoubtedly made
these deaf people hear again.

." Cormorants.
Cormorants are far the largest and
most striking In appearance of the
common English sea fowl. A mats
cormorant Is a yard long and very
strong and heavy, and, though more
quaint than beautiful, whether flying,
diving or sitting on the rocks or buoys,
It is a far more Interesting creature
than the sea gull, a wonderful Instance
of adaptation of form to special needs
and of permanence of type enduring
from remote ages, for the fossil cor
morant hardly differs from those which'
are now fishing from the cliffs In which
their petrified ancestors are Imbedded.
Our common "great black cormorant
Is not only the most representative
type of his family, but a link with the
inhabitants of the shallow seas of both
the old and new worlds. He Is found
throughout Europe, in north Africa,
Egypt and the greater part of Asia, In
eastern North America and, a little
changed by distance, In New Zealand
and Australia. Lastly, be Is the only
bird, except the hawks and falcons,
which Is trained to assist man In th
capture of living prey, and in this vo
cation he Is of all birds, by sense, mem
ory and affection, incomparably the
best London Spectator.

Th. Gruff Historian.
Neither at the Saturday Review din
ners nor In the companies In which I
bave met Freeman at Wells did he of
ten show himself a genial companion.
His taste for snubbing amounted to
craze. His tendency to contradiction
on every possible opportunity altogeth
er exceeded that even of Bob Lowe,
Lord Sherbrooke, himself. Freeman
was more agreeable to encounter In the
open air than at a dinner table, in
the Mendlp district whenever I heard
a horse's boots pelttng along soma
piece of turf by the roadside and a
voice singing the refrain of some old
cavalier song I knew that If I looked
round I should see the historian pound
ing along on a sturdy nag which, ac
cording to tradition, in a burst or gen
eroslty he once offered to Carlyle as
a gift Chambers' Journal.
Mark Twain's Ant
"Mark Twain In one of bis amusing
books of travel attacks the ant" said
a nature student "He ridicules the
Idea that the ant Is Industrious and
wise. He devotes three or four pages
to an nccount of un nut making Its
way homeward with a burden. He
shows the ant climbing grass stems
Instead of going round them, dplng a
hundred silly things, taking In every
case the long and foolish Instead of the
short and sensible way borne. And
hence, naturally enough, be concludes
that the ant's wise industry is over
ratednaturally enough, I say, Mark
Twain's Ignorance being granted, for
be was unaware when be wrote that
long and Interesting passage that many
kinds of ants are blind. He did not
for all bis close observation ake up
bis little aut subject look for Its eye
sockets and And them absent It was
a blind ant Mark Twain studied, and
he didn't know it." Cincinnati En

(inter, .
ii there Is any doubt In ydur mind
as to the power of Hyo-mel, the
medicated air treatment, to curt all
catarrhal troubles, the remarkable
offer made by Tallman & Co. should
dispel that doubt. They give their
personal guarantee with every dollar
outfit of Hy-o-mei they sell to re
fund the money unless it gives satis
faction. They take all the risk of
cure, and no reader or tne r-asc ure-
gonlan can afford to suffer longer
with catarrh, when an offer like tnis
made.
, With every Hy-o-mel outfit is a
neat pocket Inhaler, and Hy-o-mel
breathed through this Inhaler, reach

cutarrhal germs, and soothing and
healing the irritated mucous membrane.
Hy-o-mel really gives you a
health-giving climate In your own
home, so that when you breathe Its
medicated air, your nose, throat and
lungs will be filled with air like that
on the mountains high above the sea
level, where grow balsamic trees and
plants, which purify ' the air with
their volatile antiseptic fragrance so
healing to the respiratory organs.
You will notice relief and benefit
