of the CUTIcURA REMEDIES. My case which is
known to many of our best physicians and TO thous-

daily papers, and those who interested are re-
ferred to it. 1t is not of It. however, that | now
propose to write. but of some features which have
invariably found to accompany the treatment of
skin and blood diseases which unnecessarily retard
cure, These are: i. A lack OF knowledge as TO
how the remedies suggested are TO be used. 2.
Careless spasmodic use of them 3. Neglect of
proper sanitary and hygenic measures and auxiliary
treatment. A. Want of patience necessary to eff
feet permanent cure. 1t would seem hardly nee
essary TO advise who has paid out his money for
medicine, to master the directions and general phi
losophy of treatment recommended, by which alone

The Cork Oak.

At present we depend for cork upon
the countries bordering the Mediter-
ranean. In these countries the actual
market value of cork is ten times what
it was at the beginning of the century
and it is likely to go still higher. In
Sardinia, Sicily and Naples extensive
cork plantations are being destroyed for
the purpose of obtaining the tannin of
superior quality yielded by the bark and
carbonate of soda from the ashes of the
wood. This destruction has been going
on for years, while planting has not
even replaced the trees destroyed, ex-
cept in France and its African depend
ency. AS long ago as 1922 the French
Government appropriated $500 francs,
which were to be divided among those
who, planting in 1928, should possess at
the expiration of ten years plantations
of 10000 vigorous saplings. In 1884
only three persons had been entitled to
the reward. But France has now over
100000 acres of cork plantations in
Algiers, yielding a considerable revenue
to the State. About fifty years ago the
Spanish began to encourage the plant
ing of the cork oak, and the number of
trees in that country has increased.
This increase would have been greater
but for the fact that. while in some
provinces cork has become the chief
source of wealth, in others many pro-
prietors destroyed their trees in order
to clear their ground for more valuable
productions.
The cork oak grows to the height of
shout fifty feet. In Algeria and in the

sharp hind claws. To do the chap JUS
tice, must say he behaved well; and,
though horribly scared and pinioned as
he was, he kicked and struggled with
all his might; aud. as some one after
wards remarked: "Never so much as
let yell out of him." OFF came the

mans" long claw, to which, perhaps,
our new chum owed his escape with
only a few nasty nips; for men came
running up to him from all sides, and
the savage old brute got his skull
knocked in with the stock of rifle,
while his opponent, released from his
grip, stood ruefully surveying himself,
and wiping off the blood and dirt from
his legs, now quite denuded of their civ
ilized covering.
Lots of fun was. of course, poked at
him; but one choleric old gentleman,
with very red face, read him sharp
lecture on his shooting exploit, winding
up with: "Confound you, sir! You
shot at me a dozen times. / couldn' t
get chance to shoot kangaroos for
watching you. Pity your mother didn't
keep you at home, instead of sending
you out into the world with a six
chambered rifle, when you use it as if it
was a child's toy"
However, fresh clothes, few band
ages and half a tumbler of "three-
star" somewhat consoled poor X
for all this rough usage-especially be-
cause the ''old man" was skinned on
the spot, and the pelt presented to him
as trophy, which attention he ac-
knowledged with: "Haw! yeth, horrid
brute! nearly stwipped me. Soglad no

received with great laughter, it was said
so earnestly.
Well, the slain were now counted,
and reached the very respectable total
of $500; but lots got away, badly
wounded-many of them to be yarded
in next days drive. l dare say with
those that died in the bush, the tally
came up to 5000. Packing up was now
the order of the day. Horses were
brought up, tents struck and slowed
away with the eatables in spring-carts,
drags, and wagonettes, and a start
made for the next camp and another

A Few Certainties.

There are so many doubts and discus
sions respecting Temperance that it has
come to be labeled in the public mind
| the Temperance question; and great
many people, reacting from the dog
matism of few Temperance agitators,
have come TO think that it is all ques-
ton; that nothing is settled. There
are, however, more Temperance GER
tainties than Temperance questions;
more both in number and Importance.
For example, it is certain:
/. That distilled liquors are danger
Gus poison; should never be used as q
beverage; and as medicine only with
the EXTREMIST caution and under the
wisest advice.
2. That wine and beer if ever useful,
except incidentally, are always more or
less dangerous; most dangerous for
| those who crave them most, especially
dangerous for the young, and for per-
sons of sanguine and nervous tempera-
ment. Every reader of this paragraph
knows scores who have been injured by
excessive use; how many can he men,
ton who have been injured by absti-
| nence?
3. That the liquor traffic, as now con-
Quoted, does more injury to society,
produces more crime and pauperism,
breaks up more homes and destroys more
life than all other dangerous tratiics put
| together.
! 4. That the State has always a right
of self-preservation; and that it has,
| therefore, right to enact such laws
prohibitory or regulative-as expert.
ence indicates to be most efficient for the
purposes of self-preservation. If France
has right to prohibit the sale of Amer
lean pork because there are trichin8 in
some pork, America has right to pro-
hibit the sale of liquor because there is
poison in a great deal of liquor.
8. That it is the duty of society to pass
such laws as are passed, and in general
to do whatever is practicable, in the
present state of public opinion, to re-
duce the evils of drunkenness and the
liquor traffic. The free sale of liquor,
whether with or without the seeming
sanction OF law, is suicide.
6. That, finally, whatever temporary
relief and incidental help may be OBJ
tanned in dealing with the liquor prob
lem from legislation or moral suasion,
the real, radical, fundamental remedy
is Christian public sentiment which
| will condemn drunkenness as a sin, not
condone it as a weakness; the ultimate
Temperance Society is the Christian
| Church; and the instruments for reform
are the pulpit, the press, the Sunday
school and individual example.
By the side of these Temperance GER
tdinties the Temperance questions are of
minor Importance and Significance
