NUMEROUS exchanges have dwelt upon
a phase Of the Ice case which was sup
posed to be favorable to ELI. The story
is that once during the war the body TO
which he belonged was stopped in its
march by ariver, the bridge upon which
they expected to cross having been
burned by the Southern soldiers. Ii
was desired 10 build pontoon bridge,
and for the purpose some one was
asked 10 swim the river with a rope.
No one but the brave Eli responded,
and he, a second NrEGINIUs, swan the
roaring torrent in safety, 10 the pleasant
disappointment Of his comrades.
Some one once wrote a poem and
forged BRET HATES name 20 it as au-
thor, relating a touching incident Of the
death of a railroad engineer, who troze
beside Lis engine, which was blockaded
by the snow, while a roaring fire
burned in the engine.
There is a striking resemblance be-
tween these two absurd stories. The
idea of mans swimming a river when
living near were enough pontOOn boats
70 span it, is at least as ridiculous as
that of mans freezing to death beside
a big fire. But there is one difference
in the stories, creditable TO the latter;
1t was purpOsely made as ridiculous as
possible, but the other is told for true.

A WESTERN exchange notes an inter
esting experiment for preventing the
freezing out of wheat IN the winter,
which might be OF service to West Nir-
ginia farmers. 1t is that of sowing oats
and wheats together, with view to OBJ
tain a winter covering for the wheat.
The seed, In the prop ortion OF one part
of oats to two parts OF wheat, was sown
in the fall, and the oats sprang up quick
ly and were killed by the early frost the
stalks and leaveslying on thegrOund all
winter, keeping the snow from blowing
away and preventing the sun from
thawing the frozen ground, In the
spring the dead oats made good top
dressing for the growing wheat. The
crop Of wheat in the following season
was reported to be excellent, while
wheat on the adjoining land planted in
the usual manner was OF no value.

for having placed within my reach the wonderful
CUTICURA REMEDIES, which have rendered urnec-
essary all further experiments of physicians and in
a remarkably short space of time have rid me of a
loathsome disease. dispensed with all physicians
two years ago, believing they did me no good. The
CUTICURA has stopped this unsatisfactory expense
even if it were necessary and l had the courage
any longer to follow their advice-and brought the
long-looked-for cure and happiness.
L have been afflicted with Eczema or Salt Rheum
my scalp, breast and limbs for five years. during
which time have been under the treatment of ply
sicians, or at mineral springs, taking kind
of medicine. have been treated by Drs. - of
-, DR.. - of -, and visited sulphur springs
and taken numbers of patent medicines all without
the faintest approach to a cure.
April / last began the use of CUTICURA, which
was Immediately successful in my case, entirely
curing me. have not had clean scalp for Is
years until the of the CUTICURA entirely h aled
it and left it clean and healthy The other parts of
my body were affected in a more aggravated form,
but are now completely healed. L believe myself
completely cured. l shall continue the CUTICURA
REsOLvENT directed, for its wonderful action on
the stomach and bowels and cooling influence on
the blood. 1t will afford me pleasure l have
done in many cases, to urge the afflicted to use
these wonderful remedies.
