INFANTILE
SKIN DISEASES

Our oldest child, now six years of age, when
an infant six months old was attacked with n
yirulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
who attempted to cure 1t but it spread with
almost Incredible raDidity, until the lower por-
ton of the LITTLE fellows person, from the middle
OF his back down to his knees, was one solid
rash, ugly, painful, blotched. and malicious. We
had no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally
we were advised TO try the CUTICURA RENE
DIES. The effect was simply marvellous. In
three or four weeks a complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as
white and healthy as though he had never been
attacked. In my opinion your valuable remedies
saved his life, and to-day hei IS a strong, healthy
child, perfectly well no repetition Of the disease
having ever occurred.

Utilizing California Woods.

Some of the natural woods of Cali
fornia and Oregon are coming into
extensive use, both at home and
abroad, for interior finish, the most
valuable for this purpose being the
redwood, the white cedar, the laurel
and the sycamore. The redwood takes
the lead in this line, taking a good
polish, and, for general use, wear and
staying qualities, is alleged to have no
superior in any forest in the world.
The laurel is smooth, firm, beautifully
figured, and altogether most desira-
BILE wood. The value of the sycamore
as an ornamental wood has only quite
recently become generally known, its
grain being much like that of the east
ern birch, having waving lines close
together, and. as it is quite tough and
strong, it possesses superior value for
veneering. The Oregon ash is of
beauty and utility for decorative pur-
poses, is figured with concentric curves,
and allows an attractive polish. The
maple of that State is also of beautiful
appearance, light yellow in color. and
surface covered with small, wavy
lines, of especial beauty in the gas
light. IN Z. Sun.

mayor of the town. Mr.. Corcoran first en-
gagged in the goods business and afterward
became commission merchant. From 1928
to 1886 he was in charge of the real estate bust
ness of the Bank of Columbia and of the
branch of the United States Bank at Washing
ton. He then entered business as banker and
broker in which he renamed until
1854. In 1910 he took the late George W. Riggs
into business with him. When the Mexican
War broke out the Government had great
difficulty in inducing prominent financiers
to float it's bonds. The firm of Corcoran
& Riggs thereupon offered to undertake
the work, and by their skill in accomplishing
the task, not only laid the foundation
OF their subsequent fortune, but earned
for themselves high names in the financial
world. In 1885 Mr.. Corcoran married the daugh-
ter of Commodore Morris. She died five years
later, leaving an only child, Louise who in 1859
was married to Hon. George Eustis then q
member of Congress from Louisiana. Mrs.
Eustis, like her mother, survived her marriage
only few years.
Tt is, however, as public. ,benefactor and
philanthropist that Mr.. Corcoran is best known.
His benefactions are of long standing. In 1S47
he purchased the site on Oak Hill Cemetery,
Georgetown, expended about $3.50, 900 in improv-
ing it, and presented the cemetery to his native
town. The Corcoran Gallery of Art he
established in 1857, spending about
100000 fitting it up, and in addition establish
ing an endowment fund of nearly million dol
lars for its benefit. The war interrupted his
plans with respect to. this structure, but at its
close he entered upon the work with increased
energy, and transferred his entire collection OF
paintings, statuary and works of art to it.
Another Of his large public gifts is tho
Louise Home, which he founded in memory OF
his wife. 1t is intended as a home for aged
women of refinement and education, who by

RUIN WROUGHT BY RUM.

The Drinking Habit Not Only Vice in
Itself, But the Parent of All Other
Vices.
Aside from those who deliberately
array themselves as lifelong imbibers
of rum, and the men who make money
out of the Internal traffic, there is no
intelligent person in the land who does
not deplore the ruin wrought by rum.
There is not a city, a village, hamlet,
not even a rural neighborhood, where
the malign influence of rum is not
felt. 1t is a vengeful demon which
not only destroys its hapless victims,
body and soul, but breaks down and
tramples in the mire the most sacred
family ties, all the higher and holier
social relations, and drags down to
poverty and degradation the helpless
ones dependent upon its victims.
The rum habit is not only vice in
itself, but it is the parent of all other
vices. 1t is one of the chief promoters
of poverty and pauperism, the cause
of insanity, perennial fountain of de-
bauchery, and an incentive to crime.
Given rum and weak-willed man,
and you have the factors which will
make pauper, a lunatic, thief.
ibertine or a murderer. Every rum
hole is training-school in vice, a kin
dergarten for criminals. And, as was
remarked in the commencement, all
thinking men aside from two classes
the slaves of rum and those who make
money by dealing in it-are aware of
the evils of the traffic. There is no
difference of opinion among men as to
this, though there are wide divergen-
cies of opinion as to the best method
of combating these evils.
Yet, after all, these Emergencies are
more seeming than real. Give the con-
viction in the minds of the people that
the rum traffic is a curse, and these
differing opinions mean but the differ
ent steps of advancement on the road
to the conviction that there is but one
remedy that is really effective-its en-
tire and utter crushing out Toledo

reverses of fortune have been reduced from
afiuence to- poverty. This building cost
about 100000 and has an endowment
fund in addition of about $780,
900. Mr.. Corcoran has also made
large and valuable gifts to the Wash
ington Orphan Asylum, Columbia University
and many institutions in the South. He also
gave 100000 to the Church of the Ascension of
this city. 20 the University of Virginia he has
made gifts amounting to about 5000 900, besides
a library of about 1000 volumes.
Mr.. Corcoran knew John Howard Payne, the
poet, well during the time that gentleman
lived in Washington and it is.said formed a
home to. his native land. The i'm.
mediate cause of his, action, however,
has little touch Of romance in it, AS Mr.
Corcoran was riding past one of the city. hotels
one day in the autumn of 1882 his ears were
greeted with the strains of - Home, sSweet
Home,' played by the Marine Band in no ior
of the survivors Of the arctic vessel ! ln-
nette, who had just returned to Wash
ingtpn. As Mr.. Corcoran listened to
the air he resolved to carry. into effect
ut once the project he had formed years
before After some correspondence with the
Secretary of State and with the only surviving
relatives of the poet the body was exhumed
from its grave in Tunis and shipped to- New
York, where it arrived March %, 1888. From
there twas brought to Washington and buried
in Oak Hill Cemetery June 9, 1888.
Mr.. Corcoran's private life has been as pure
and transformations as his public benetact lons
have been munifcent and has made. his name
loved and respected in his native city and
throughout the country.

MAKING A COMPOST.

The Best Fertilizing Material for AL
Kinds of Vegetables.
L always use compost because ex-
perience has taught me that manure,
previous to fermentation, is often ruin
ous to vegetables. AS soon in the sea-
son as any green stuff that is not
wanted for other purposes can be gath
cred, it is carried, with all other suita-
BILE refuse matter, to convenient
place, and mixed with what stable
manure I have, the pile being increased
from time to time as materials are
found. Into this heap I throw wash
water, liquid manure and Stops of any
kind, the object being to keep the
manure from becoming fre-fanged.
Green weeds of any kind can be used
to better advantage than dry straw,
stalks. ETC., because they decay faster and
with less labor. 1t has been mystery
to me why SO many thousands of tons
of ragweed are allowed to go to waste
on, the farms, when they can so easily
be turned to good advantage. In the
fall of the year the pile is hauled out
into the field where it is to be used the
following spring. There it is thrown
INTO heaps and covered with soil. One
turning is sufficient, but all Jumps
must be broken up, so that it will ham
die like saw-dust. If have not enough
compost for the purpose wanted, / add
commercial fertilizers enough to sup
ply the deficiency. AS rule, I use
all manures not much less than year
old in this way, and since I have
adopted this plan I have seldom failed
of crop. The manure is worked in

ing the ground work the heap until

way worth double as much as that APP

An Incident That Portrays the Whole
Story of Intemperance.

An Incident That Portrays the Whole
Story of Intemperance.
A few years ago noted wild-beast
tanner gave performance with his
pets in one of the leading London
theaters. He took lions, tigers, Loop
ards and hyenas through their part. of
the entertainment, awning the audience
by his wonderful nerve and his con-
troll over them. At the closing act to
the performance, he was to introduce
an enormous boa-constrictor, thirty
five feet long. He had bought it when
it was two or three days old; and for
twenty-five years he had handled it
daily, so that it was considered per-
fectly harmless and completely under
his control. He had seen it grow from
tiny reptile, which he often carried
in his bosom, into fearful monster.
The curtain rose upon an Indian
woodland scene. The weird strains of
an Oriental band steal through the
trees. A rustling noise is heard. and a
huge serpent is seen winding his way
through the underground. 1t stops.
Its head is erected. Its eyes sparkle.
Its whole body seems animated. A
man energies from the heavy foliage.
Their eyes meet. The serpent quails
before the man-man is victor. The
serpent is under the control of the
master. Under his guidance and d.
rection it performs series of frightful
feats. At a signal from the man it
slowly approaches him, and begins to
coil its heavy folds around him. High
er and higher do they rise, until man
and serpent seem blended into one.
Its hideous head is reared aloft above
the mass. The man gives a little
scream, and the audience unite in a
thunderous burst of applause, but it
freezes upon their lips. The trainers
scream was a wall of death agony.
Those cold, Shiny folds had embraced
him for the last time. They had
crushed the life out of him, and the
horror-stricken audience heard bone
after bone crack, as those powerful
folds tight ened upon him. Mans play
thing had become his master. His
slave for twenty-five years had now en-
shaved him.
In this horrible Incidents portrayed
the whole story of intemperance. The
man who has taken the first glass of
intoxicating liquor has the boa of in
temperance in his bosom. If he throt-
ties the monster now, it is easily done.
But if he permits it to live, feeds and
nourishes it, he may control it for
even twenty-five years, but it is con-
tinually growing, and some day it's
soul-destroying folds will encircle his
soul, and bear it to those regions of
woe "where the worm dieth not and
the fire is not quenched.' The I'M
changeable decree of almighty God
is: "No drunkards shall inherit the
Kingdom of God. ''--Baptist Weekly.

THE GENIUS OF THE BOTTLE.

There's queer little bottle stands here on my
desk,
1t is shaped like a boat and is quite pict-
uresque,
With a fgure-head just the least trile gro
tesque.
1t holds in It's depths, though you never may
know it,
And l may not wholly be able to show 1t,
The treasures Of romancer, pandit and poet.
There are staid sober facts for the solemn and
wise,
And fables for those who like truth in disguise;
There are sweet dreams and fances that point
to the skies.
There are songs that are sweet as the voice of
the lark,
There are tests that belong to the days OF the
ark,
There are arrows of wit that fly straight to the
mark;
And tales of devotion, of honor and truth,
And stories of danger and beauty and ruth,
That quicken the pulse in the bosom of youth.
There are truths that fash out like sword in
the fight,
That shine like star in the darkness of night,
To guide straying feet from the wrong to the
right.
There are sweet psalms Of faith, full many I
ween,
And solace for sorrow, and praises serene,
And glad songs Of strength whereon weakness
may lean.
All this in the bottle, although I can't prove it,
And the Genius stands there in his glory above
it,
This strange little bottle. All, mel how

And whatever he gives of its marvellous store,
With pride that is humble bring to your door,
And grateful and happy pray evermore.
