If It Disappears, It's Eczema. How to Tell Whether a Skin Affection is an Inherited Blood Disease or Not.

Sometimes It Is hard to determine whether a skin affection is a sign of a blood disorder or simply a form of

ecsema. Even physicians are often puzzled In their diagnosis. The best

way for any one afflicted is to go to

W. H. Sudhoffs or any good druggist who handles pure drugs and obtain 50

cents' worth of poslam. Apply this.

and If the Itching stops at once and

the trouble is cured in a few days It

may be set down as having been eczema, as this is the way poslam acts in

the worst cases of eczema, and In curlag acne, herpes, blotches, tetter.

piles, salt rheum, rash. barber's and other forms of itch, scaly scalp, and all surface skin affections.

STILT WALKING. In Seme Parts ef Franc It Is an Ah solute Necessity. In some parts of the world, particularly In the low districts of France, stilt walking is a necessity. In Gascony there are great level plains covered with stunted bushes of dry heath. These waste lands have a soli that is so permeable, so soft and yielding, that the slightest fall of tain makes them practically impassable by ordinary methods of pedestrianism. But these wastes must be traversed at all seasons by the poor people of Gascony, and necessity has accordingly made the Gascons a stilt walking people, and men, women and children may be seen at all seasons of the year stack upon high stilts, trudging through the waste lands, carrying baskets, bundles and the like. The stilts used are abou j five feet long and often longer. The shepherds of Landes all go on stilts. The shepherd is provided with a stout staff that answers for many purposes. At the proper place In the staff is a flap, which makes a comfortable seat when turned down. . On this the shepherd quietly sits and watches his flock, snd while he sits up there he knits or spins with a distaff thrust In his girdle. The Landes stilt walker can do marvel mm things with these five foot leg extensions. He can run with a speed that will tar a horse, pick up a pebble or pluck ; a flower ' as the cowboy teaches to theesrth from his pony, and he can drop to the ground level and regain the perpendicular as quickly as a boy can turn a handspring.

Difficulties That Bsset the Work ef '' the Salvers.' 'What It means to salve a wreck is something that flew outside of practical seamen can properly appreciate. The wreck Is a ponderous, unwieldy mountain of steel and oak, weighing between 3,000 and 12,000 tons, often dangerous for any vessel to approach, and this must be lifted bodily . and floated from the decks of pitching, unstable scows and barges. The wreck: may be submerged beneath fifteen or thirty feet of water and so store In that divers must go down and effect temporary repairs before it can be raised. It may be a wreck so shattered that It is not worth raising so that the wreckct's work consists mere
