Impossible to Get Employment, as Pace and Body Were Covered with Sores Cured by Cuticura. "Since the year 1804 I have been doubled -with a very bad case of tczenia whit. I have spent hundreds t dollars trying to cure, and I went the hospital, but they failed to cure ie, and it was getting worse all the ime. Five weeks ago my wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and one , cake of Cuticura Soap, and I am ; pleased to say that I am now com- , pletely cured and well. It was impossible for me to get employment, as my face, head and body were covered with it. The eczema first appeared on the top of my head, and It had worked all 4. the way around down the back of my neck and around to my throat, down my body and around the hips. It Itched 80 I would be obliged to scratch it, and the flesh was raw. I am now all well, and I will be pleased to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all persons who wish a speedy and permanent cure of skin diseases.

KnorUtd Claim Skyward. "It pays sometimes to have the rifht -tind of a lawyer," remarked W. T. Purdy, a well-known mining man of the northeast "I was a witness in a "rase a few weeks ago in Seattle in Vhich a colored man was seeking damages for permanent Injuries sustained p an accident to an elevator which b--was running. The plaintiff claimed tjat he had been maimed for life, by being permanently deprived of the free use of his right arm. Although the accident had happened months before, his arm was still crippled and he was unable to raise It above his waist. He explained all this with much feeling and earnestness during his direct examination. Then the attorney for the owner of the building took him In hand. " 'Show us how high you can raise your arm,' sa'.d the attorney. "And the plaintiff feebly raised his arm a few inches. " 'Now show us how high you could rai-e your arm before you were Injured, pursued the attorney. And the plaintiff unhesitatingly and unthinkingly raised, the crippled arm high above his head, thus knocking his damage claim skyward with one eloquent gesture." San Francisco Chronicle.

In Holland births, marriages and deaths, Instead of being recorded In newspapers, are indicated by windmills. When a miller gets married he stops his mill with the arms of the wheel In a slanting position and with the sails unfurled. His friends and guests frequently do likewise with their mills, Jn token of th ceremony. To Indicate a birth the wheel is stopped with the arms In a slanting position, but at a more acute angle than for a marriage and with the two upper sails unfurled. Should a miller die the sails of his mill are air furled, and the wheel is turned s round until the arms form an upright j cross, In which position they are left until after the funeral has taken place.

A cow should not always be Judgtd by what she is doing, but by what she might do if given a proper ohance. Cracks In the poultry hou?e create draughts that cause :roup. Fresh air Is a tonic, but it deiwnds on the way your fowls get it. Don't allow the. cow to be disturbed while she Is lying down chewing her cud, as this is the time when she is grinding feed into dollars.' Secretary Wilson says the butter product has become tiio second in importance of all the farm products, and still most farmers consider it only a side issue. Prof. Bolley, of the North Dal.ota Experiment Station, announces the Interesting news that spores of red rust are capable of withstanding dry winds and intense cold, which Is rather against the supposition that they were Quick to germinate and short of life. Eggs from hens closely confined ihould not be used for hatching purposes; the chicks would likely be weak. The condition of the hen at the time of laying has much to do with the fertility of the egg. Healthy, properly fed bens are the ones that produce the fertile eggs. The American people have eaten more mutton the last year than ever before and are eating up their sheep faster than they can breed them.. This is a good thing hi a way, for there Is no more profitable animal to keep on the farm than the sheep when present prices for wool and mutton prevail. How the Merinos loom up at the present prices of wool, and still how the heavy lamb looms up at the present prices of mutton! The' hen that lays and still makes. meat; tb horse that trots and still can pull, is like the sheep that mutton makes with an '.enormous fleece of wool all hard to find. "Haste makes waste" in gardenmaking. Walt until you are sure that the seed will not rot, for the seed will not germinate if the soil Is wet and col J. If you plant your own seed In hotbeds, such as tomato, cabbage, pepper ami celery, you will not have to spend any money except for seeds and tools. The Pennsylvania experiment station reports an experiment in feeding cattle in a barn and In a lot with access to open sheds. It shows that the gains made by fattening steers are not Increased by warm quarters. It Is. not ;ossibIe to have stables too cold for, fattening steers provided they are lept dry and well bedded. Paid 40.000 to Farmers. The co-operative creamery Jit Lyme, X. II., received the past year SC9,2G9 pounds of cream and 1,847,723 pounds of milk. Its patrons were paid nearly $40,000, receiving an average of 23 23 cents a round for butter. Birds as Grafters. Birds often practice the art of graftlug. The mistletoe, living as a parasite upon the branches of large trees, has clusters of small white berries which contain the seed. Thoy are transferred from branch to branch by adhering to the bill; the bird pecks into the bark to remove the seed, which thus becomes engrafted into the tree. Cost of the Apple Crop. At a recent fruit meeting In western Massachusetts one speaker quoted growers as stating If they got $1 a barrel for their apples delivered at their station it was a profitable industry. A number of growers present briskly disputed the statement One man sa'd that the cnJy way to make a profit Lt $1 would be to steal the barrels, which usually cost from twenty-five to. thirty cents each. It was concluded that the grower must realize $1 net to place the business on a satisfactory basis. Massachusetts Ploughman. For San Jose Seale. Many fruit growers know the San Jose scale from sad experience. These, and any others whose plants are affected with this pest, should prepare at once to 6pray tbem with the llme-sul-phur preparation. This is the best time to treat the San Jose scale, as farm work Is not now so pressing. If this work Is postponed until spring. It may not be done at alb The formula recommended for use in this State is as follows: Lime (unslacked), SO pounds; sulphur (flour or flowers), 30 pounds; salt, 10 pounds ; water, 100 gallons. Girdled Grapes. Grapes are Dt as extensively girdled as they were some years ago In , this vicinity, there being only two growers who practice it to any extent One man I talked with said he always girdled a few to have them for earlier use, as it advances the ripening ten to fourteen days, says a writer In Rural New Yorker. When ripe no apparent change in quality is noticeable. Where is largely done, as I have seen on ' shores of Seneca lake, they have a .jI that clasps around the vine, anci, having a knife on each edge, at right angles to the vine, It Is held, somewhat !.ike a pair of pincers. With one turn uround the bark It Is severed In two parallel cuts atout an inch apart, and the Intervening bark is easily removed The object is to retard the 'return of the sap, which seems to or does stimulate the ripening, also the size of the fruit Not all the bearing vood is thus treated on tlie vine at . ' same time, and It seems to do no :;ry to the remaining growth. It Is .-sued year after year by some very !;.rge growers on Seneca lake, N. Y. Valne of Dread Wheats. Experiments in-determining the food values of varieties of bread wheats are being carried on at the Kansas jState agricultural college experiment station. About 181 new varieties of wheat have been originated since 1800 by Prof. A. S. Hitchcock and Prof. II. Ii. Roberts, former and present botanists. Samples were secured fom all over the world, and Prof. A. M. Tea Eyck,

agriculturist, Is growing those that have been successfully crossed. In these experiments It often takes several years to produce a quantity of grain that will yield sufficient flour for baking tests. A miniature single horsepower rolling mill, costing: $300, has recently been installed at the college by rrof J. T. Willard, chemist When to 3Inrket Docks. When to sell ducks that are being raised for market Is a question that must be settled by every man who Ii trying to make money out of ducks, lt is supposed that ducks are ready for market at about ten weeks of age, and It Is certain that if they are sold at that tiuae they will yield a greater profit than If k,ept for some months longir. During the growing period ducks are making gain rapidly and are doing it at little cost After the eighth or ninth week the gain is made less slowly, but the cost of feeding' continues and even Increases. Every week the birds are fed after that decreases the possibility of profits. Some poultry raisers say, Sell the ducks as soon as they are well feathered." , The farmer of fifty years ago was not supiosed to be an educated man." In fact, it was thought that the less education he had the better farmer he would be. To-day the Successful farmer is almost of necessity an educated man. The more he reads and thinks the more he knows and th2 greater his success. More people are considering the farm to-day than ever before and it Is only a lack of experience and the accompanying lack of selfconfidence that keeps many a man at. a desk In the city who really longs for life on a farm. It Is not an unusual thing to see telephones, electric lights and power, and type writers in the homes oX - our enterprising . fanner friends. The boy who knows the farm has no call to the city. The, land Is calling for him, and others, too. Dcn't 31 lx the Breeds. If there Is one mistake more likely to be mado than another by the novice In poultry raising it is the tendency to keep several breeds. The expert can do1 this with more or less profit because lie understands how to keep them separated or, If he wishes to cross them, understands 'his as well. The novice, on the other band, is too often inclined to experiment He thinks the crosslc? cf two certaiu breeds ought to give him the finest foui on earth and keeps at it until the blood 'is pretty well mixed and finds, to his dismay that the cross is not so goad as the poorest rof the clean breeds. Again he tries Kocks one year and thou becomes enamored of tho Wyandottes and geta a few ; the next j ear the Leghorn appeals to him, and so on until lie has the time of hte life keeping theLi separated or, as in the first case, btcomes Involved In a hopeless mixture. Look well into the subject and ascertain as nearly as possible which treed meets the requirements, then pet that breed and stick to it through ibick and thin until you prove it valuable or' worthless. Inrreaje la Apple Crops. Consul Mf.hin, of Nottingham, forwards a report based upon publications in German newspapers describing experiments locking to the improvement of declining apple orchards: Of fivp long rows of apple trees one row was left untreated and the four others had different combinations of manuring!. The row left unmanured gars. 104 pounds of apples per ,t,ree during the five years from 1000 to ' 190J, both Inclusive, and in the fifth year (1004), which was the year of maximum yield for the entire orchard, the weight of the apples per tree was 53 pounds and the number 294. The best results from manuring were obtained by a complete mt nure, consisting of 1 pounds of sulphaTe of ammonia, Vj pounds of muriate of potcsh, and 3 pounds of basic slag per tree per annum, applied to the roots during the winter. During the five years the yield per tree from this dressing was 103 pounds of apples, while by the fifth year the bearing Increased 1o 401 applr, weighing 105 pounds, per tree that is, the wefght of the apples per tree increased by this manuring from 53 pounds on the unmanured trees to 105 pounds on the manured trt.es, or 00.9 ier cent; while the number of apples Increased from 291 to 401 per tree, or 3G per cent The Increase In the average size of the apples Is remarkable. Those from the unmatured trees averaged 2.9S ounces each, and those from the maaured trees, 419 ounces each. The Farm Salesman. Farmers who fc,ave observed closely know that people who live In towns and cities are prone to be more or less Impressed by the appearance of the man who interviews them, no matter on what subject Let a cleanly nia.1 neatly dressed stop at a house to eil any product of the farm, and the housewife will gauge his wares by his own appearance. Combine with a pleasing personality good products attractively packed, and one has found a reatly way to good markets. If you don't believe this try it. As an example, t.i a broader scale, tho writer sells potatoes to the Stewart? of some of the largest hotels in a Iarjje city. These tubers are selected for this special trade and a, good price Is ebtained for tbem. When the tlfougbt of this field first occurred to me, the question was how to get at the men I vanted. , , ' I made several attempts dressed in my "second best" suit, going to the hotel and asking to see the steward. I rarely saw him. I then put on the best clothes I had, had some neat cards printed giving my business as a grower of iotatoes for hotel trade, and set out to ask for the manager. In a small hand bag I carried a few specimens of potatoes wrapped singly in tissue paper.' I had less difficulty In seeing managers than formerly I had had in getting at the stewards. I generally saw one or the other, and though I aid not always make a customer, I was treated with courtesy, which would noi have been the case under othor conditions. Indianapolis New.

INDIAN CUSTOMS.

Some of the Tribes Are Sun Worshipers. A recent article written by Matt Duhr contains a graphic description of some of the strange, customs of certain tribes of Oklahoma Indians. Mr. Duhr 6ays: "Yes, sme of our rechnen are sun worshipers. I have seen many Iowas and Tarvness address their prayers and lamentations to the glorious orb of day. The Iowas, who have dwindled down to eighty-two iersons, believe in spirits, spiritual horses, dogs and birds. Billy Dole,- an old Iowa Amerind, once told me: I have eleven squaws and papooses up there. I can see them, and see lots of my ionies grazing on the tver green prairies where white men :an't burn the grass.' "When asked who made the lighting and thunder, the late Chief Tohee said: 'The big, very big thunder, God makes it to scare or kill bad people. When lie makes sheet or forked lightning then He wants to just scare bad people, but when he wants to kill a great liar or thief, then He shoots them to death with a ball. Only one Iowa 'Amerind' was ever killed by lightning. All Iowas preserve the account of that terrible event with great care. It is taught and retold to the Iowa children with religious precision. "Long ago, when over 100,000 Iowa lived in the State of Iowa, a certain foremost medicine man sent word to all the members of the tribe to come to his wigwam during the time when the trees were green and partake of a nine days' feast Over 50,000 Iowas assembled at the appointed place when the flowers were blooming. Their" provisions had been used up. They were rery hungry ; they were about starving. Then the headmen asked the medicine man when the promised feast would tome off. Then he laughed like a fool and said: T Just wanted to deceive j'ou, to fool you. I have hardly anything to eat myself.' Just then the thunder god sent a lightning bolt from the :kar sky and killed the greatest liar of the Iowa nation. "Most of the Amerindian parents re frain from 'teaching their (infants baby talk. The ptpooses are taught to speak correctly from their, birth or shortly after. White folks first teach their-off-spring a doodge dorg jargon, and then takegreat pains to unlearn what they Impressed on their minds and tongues. "Hardly any of the Amet Indian mythologies" have been condensed and printed. The Amerinds have many assistant gods; the suow god,, the rain god, the tornado gods and a host of bigger and iesser gods. Some of out Oklahoma Amerinds firmly believe that some of their noted ancestors dwell in certain stars, and when they see a socalled shooting star meteor they ex claim that a departed Amerind has de sceuded from above to visit his rela tives on earth. "Some of the ignoble red men mourn with vigor for their dead and have them entombed In $30 shroud coffins. Some have mourners to slpg, chant oi grunt the great deeds performed by the deceased. The hired mourners have tc abstain from eating curing the mourning, They -.re tied securely on theii ponies, so that when sleeping they cannot fall from their horses. Some ol tbee paid mourners for the dead re frain from eating for four days and nights. 'The last noted mourner was hirec to mourn four days and nights on the banks of the sandy Cimarron. He was paid four gallons of whisky In advance for his doleful services. He managed to drink all his wages, except on mouthful, before the last five minute of his so'.vmn contract He drank the last drink at midnight of the fourtt day t:nd expired In ten minutes."

A LITTLE LESSON IN ADVERSITY.

It seems almost Incredible that a deaf man should be one of the greatest masters of music, and almost beyond belief that BeethovK I composers, should jK II have been afflicted ?A with the loss of his hearing when he was but 30 years old, iu the full zenith of his wonderful powers. To many a man this affliction would have closed the doors of achievement, but not so , with the LUDWIG BEETHOVEN. wonderful musician. At first despondent when he had been assured by the best physicians that nothing could be done to help him, he refused to meet any one, as he could not bear the world to know that he had become deaf. It was then that he wrote : "It makes me sad to think that oth ers can hear the notes of a far-off flute or a distant shepherd's song, and I cannot" 1 But gradually his great nature con quered the blackness of. his despair, and he went to work agiin with deter ruination. Despite his deafness he do termined to lead an orchestra In a symphony of his own. When the last note had died away the great audience wai perfectly quiet for a moment Then e storm cf applause broke forth. Beetho ven could not hear it, could not knoW that his symphony had pleased. Tin aplause grew louder and louder. Final ly one of the musicians touched Beetho ven upon the arm. He turned and sa what he had not been able to hear. It was after he had become deaf tha: many of Beethoven's greatest composi tions were written, a proof that bj force of will alone a man may prov himself greater than circumstance COOKING IN THE CHURCH. Bleals Furnished for Occasions ii l'p-tP-Date Houses of Worship. Light and heavy housekeeping as practlo.'d In . up-to-d.te churches is a revelation to the people Who see It foi the first time. The country v'sitor lr apt to be shocked or delighted, accord lng to temperament Many conserva tive folk, including missionaries, rura! pastors, and laymen, come to censur and remain to digest Why shouldn't a church have t kitchen? . What could be more practical? It I.' asked. There are clubrooms, libraries and gymnasiums in churches nowadays and people say It is quite proper tc have a well-furnished kitchen capable of . supplying after meeting refreshments and the solid meals of rarer oc casions. In some churches the ecclesiastU kitchen gives forth a savory effluence three times a day. A cup of coffee hoi from the urn" often heartens the minister before he ascends the pulpit Aged members c the Kongregation, wearied by a long service, niay be revived in the basement by a draught of steaming oolong. "It Is a sin of progToss," said an enthusiastic matron, who manages one church kitchen, the other day. "The food at festivals and sociables used to be a byword. Everything was cold, soggy and uneatable." "People nibbled at things out of a sense of religious duty and went to a good res'taurant afterward. Now the menu at any affair compares favorably with what you get outside. "A missionary to China said that our church reminded her of the Chinese temples which are used as hotels by travelers. Anybody out there may sleep and get his meals In the .temple, which Is often the only available public house. "Now, I think that speaks well, for the Chinese and for ourselves. The church can never be made too popular and too useful. Religlqn ought not to be an enemy to modern improvements." "One good thing about church kitchens," said an uptown matron, "is that they permit us servant tyrannized folk to practice a little cookery. I could never dare to enter my kitchen at hom and make experiments In cook's presence. But I can go to the church establishment and educat. myself in all the departments of culinary art Also one meets there ladies who have traveled and . there is a chance to acquire the rudiments of cosmopolitan cookery." Revenge. William II. Chase, the portrait painter, tells a story of the time when the late James McNeil Whistler was at outs with the Royal Academy at London. ; About-this time an admirer' of Whistler in Pennsylvania wrote him requesting his autograph. The letter was sent in care of the academy. That Institution took advantage of the opportunity thus offered to r jvenge Itself for the alleged affronts put upon It by the caustic Whistler. Tue Pennsylvania's letter was returned to him some months later, through the dead letter office at Washington, and it bore on the envelope the word "Unknown," repeated as many times as space would allow. Washington Star. Itlch Mine of Oak. A Russian timber dealer has discovered a valuable mine of oak. It exists In a river iu south Russia and has layers three or four feet deep scattered over 330 square miles. Its most striking feature is its variety of colors, supposed to be 'due to the variegated soil of the river bottom. No fewer than twelve shades of pink, blue, yellow and brown have been noted, each log having Its own uniform' shade. The logs taken out have ranged from forty io 200 feet In length and from fifteen to twenty Inches In diameter, and it Is estimated that more than 100,000, averaging seventj' feet, remain.

FAINTING SPELLS Cured by Dr. Williams' 'Pink Pills, th Remedy Which Actually Makes , New Blood. Ana?mia makes the patient short of breath so that there is often a sense of suffocation, sometimes there is a cough Mid the sufferer seems to be going into consumption, at others there is a murmur of the heart and heart disease is feared. I the following case severe fainting spells were nu alarming symptom resulting froin, too little blood." Mrs. George Forrester, of 7 Curtis street, WTatertown, X.Y., says : "Some time ago I took a heavy cold and it left nie iu a very weak condition. I became worso and worse until finally I bad auanuia. I lost flesh and appetite, had no color and was subject to fainting spells. Sometimes they would attack me suddenly and I would fall to the floor with hardly any warning. "I had one of our best physicians, but nfter he bad been attending ine about a month without any improvement in my condition, I decided to see what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills would do. "The pills were well known to mo for, about two years before, members of my family had taken them with the best results. I soou found that the pills were just what I needed for I soon-began to notice an improvement.

In the churchyard of the little Middlesex village of Tinner, England, there stands a monument quite distinct from all tho?e which surround it It consists of a tall, square pyramid over grown with ivy, through the middle ot which projects a coffin made of stone. This monument was raised by a son to his parents, William and Agnes Lou don, as the inscriptions tell. They do not, however, tell why he chose to have bis parents' remains poised in midair In the stone shell Instead of being buried in the usual manner. This curi ous act is accounted for In a strahge w ay. It appears that his parents came Into some money which was to be theirs "so long as their bodies were above the ground." When they died, therefore, In order that - the money should not pass Into other hands, their son "burled" them In this curious man ner, and, despite the apparent injustice, his object was attained.

"Aunt Panthea," he asked, "how is It that you koep on such good terms with every one, while they are all quarreling among themselves T "Well," said Aunt Bantha, "being as you aren't to stay here long I'll tell you. When I go down the street I meet Jason Turdy, and he says, 'Why, Banthea, how well you look ! ( " 'I m glad you think so, Jaso,' 1 say, smiling at him. "Next minute up comes Ezry Dracut. "'Well now, ranthea be says, how porely you are looking this year.' " 'My land, Ezry, I say, 'how quick j'ou are to notice those things!' "So it is with everything. Those who like to think one way, I let 'em think ft, and those who like to think the other, I let 'em think It" Who can deny that Aunt Tanthea had discovered a comfortable philosophy o life? ' KNIFED. i Coffee Knifed an Old Soldier. An old soldier, pleased from coffee at 72, recovered his health and tells about It as follows: I stuck to coffee for years, although It knifed me again and again. "About eight years ago (as a result of coffee-drinking, which congested my liver) I was taken with a very severe attack of malarial fever. "I would apparently recover and start about my usual work only to suffer a relapse. After this had been repeated lüeveral times during the. year I was again taken violently III. "The Doctor -aid he had carefully studied my case and it was either 'quit coffee or die,' advising me to tak? Postum in its place. I had always thought coffee one (jf ray dearest friends, and especially when sick, and I was very much taken back by the Doctor's decision, for I hadn't suspected the coffee I drank could possibly cause my troubles. "I thought it over for a, few minutes and finally told the Doctor I would make the change. Postum was procured for me the same day and made according to directions; well, I liked it and vtuck to It, and since then I have been a new man. The change in health began in a few days and surprised me, and now, ' although I am 'seventy-two years of age, I do lots of, hard work, and for the past month have been teaming, driving sixteen miles . a day besides loading and unloading the wagon. That's what Postum in the place of coffee has done for me. I now liko the Postum as well as I did coffee. "I have known people who did not care for Postum at first, but after having learned to make It properly according to directions they have com to like It as well as coffee. I never miss a chance to praise it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look for the little book, 'The Road to Wellvlle," in pkgs.

Room Named for State. "In a little town In the backwoods of

Mississippi," remarked a . traveling man, "there is a peculiar hotel. It is just like any other hotel except I the way the rooms are named. They are not numbered, as is generally done, but each -oom is named for a State of the United States., When I stopped at the place I was assigned to a room called Delaware.' It was correctly named. too, for it was one or the smallest rooms in the house. The man who was occupying 'New Hampshire' made com plaint to the landlord that the man in 'Maine' was drunk and boisterous and thus keeping him awake. This seemed strange when we recall that Maine is a prohibition State. Two men up in Montana were keeping up the reputation of the wild West by engaging in a niosy poker game. A big, fat capitalist had 'New York,' which was the best room in the house. The room named for Alabama Is too ordinary for anything, and a farmer was occupying it the night I was there. It was funny to stand in the office and bear a bell boy tell the clerk that towels were wanted in 'Iowa' and that the fellow in 'North Dakota' was kicking like a steer because he had no fire. 'Be sure to call the man In "Florida" at 5 o'clock in the morning,' said one of the employes. And thus It went. This hotel is a curiosity to the traveling public. It is conducted by an eccentric old fellow, but where he conceived the Idea of naming rooms after States I do not know.' Birmingham Age-Herald. ; t The First Muff. The early muffs were small and ! made of satin or velvet, lined with fur. The leopard skin came in with Queen Anne. There isa print of an Elizabethan lady with a small muff hanging from her girdle. Before this date it was probably looked upon as an eccentric novelty, at least in England. A full century before a Venetian grand dame had carried her lapdog in ber muff, a fashion that continued for a long season and found its way Into France. In Taris muffs for this express purpose, chiens nianchons. as they were styled, could be bought In 1C92 at the establishment of the. Demoiselles Guerin, rue de'Bac. French sumptuary laws condescended to notice such minor details as the color of a muff. The bourgeois was obliged to restrict himself to somber black. The noble might please himself. Under Louis XIV., therefore, the mancbon of the courtier was brilliant with. gold lace and embroidered ribbons. Easily Remedied. "Your comedy," said the playwright, who had read it through,' "is excellent in plot and good in dialogue, but it has one fault." "What is that?" , . "It hasn't enough laughs in it." "I can soon fix that," said the author.
