Fine Healthy Skin

My little grandson having been cured OF an
eczema by the CUTICURA REMEDIES, l was pre-
vailed upon by my wife and daughters TO try 1t
myself for distressing skin malady that has been
the bane of my life for twenty years.
1t required good deal OF persuasion TO get me
to try # for argued that man seventy years OF
age could not be cured by the same remedy that 4
o-year-old child was. Twas perfectly aston1shed
at the result however. In one week my eruption
had nearly disappeared, and in two weeks there
was not vestige of 1t left. A transformation
took place from a leprous to fine, healthy skin.
My head, before commenced the use OF the CUTI-
CURA REMEDIES, was covered with scales and
patches of dead skin, which l could pull OF In
pieces the size of a dime, while from my elbows.

THE FUN OF CATCHING EELs.
The Squirmers Are Sometimes Caught in
 Peculiar Ways.

The SQuirmers Are Sometimes Caught in
 Peculiar Ways.
 Parties travel along our shore, says the Lewiston Journal, setting traps for eels at the mouths of brooks above salt water. These consist of a roomy box of slats, with an inconspicuous en- trance. The sQuirmers % in and stay in till they arc talze1 oU.c.' Other parties set pots near the head of the tide. These gre like lobster trapsuin some respects. In the end is tunnel-shaped entrance very easy to get into. This entrance is rendered still more effective sometimes by continuation in the shape of q stocking leg, and I have seen sharp brads driven in so as to impale the victim should he poke his head out the door. These traps are sunk to the bottom with line and a buoy attached. Horseshoe crabs are considered the best bait for eels. In the fall they pass up into rivers and ponds, sometimes in great numbers, and always in the darkest nights; then the boys are on deck with gaffs.
 Their winter home is in the slimiest mud. Some bed in salt mud, others in the rivers. At Goose river is spot where eels are always found just as soon as ice forms. Strangely enough, it is said to be ledge. By quick work a bushel are sometimes speared out in a few minutes. Spearing is to me the most satisfactory method of fishing for them. An eel spear is built like Nep- tunes trident, with a wooden handle twelve to twenty feet long. With it the fisherman repairs to the river, if in tide water, at low water. In the fall boat is used. In the winter the ice is cut in semicircle, then with one clip the pro- jecting tongue is cut off and pushed under. Now the podging begins. The spear IS jabbed in the mud gently; if it meets resistance when pulled out, the fisherman yanks it like lightning and shakes the wiggler off on the ice.
 Very often in this vicinity, near the wharf and shipyard, an iron bolt, a tree nail, hoop skirt, stove funnel, bag of kittens, piece of rigging, gold watch or some other trifle is hauled out, and by Christmas time the ice is covered with trash. Eels move about some in the mud, for sometimes they are caught where none was to be found the day be- fOra

Descendants of Great Men.

It is G noticeable fact that great men seldom leave direct descendants. Ma poleon, Wellington, Washington, all prove the rule. Shakespeare left only two daughters, whose children died without issue. Probably the nearest relative to the great poet now living is one Thomas Hart, resident of Aus tralia, who is said to be the eighth in descent from Shakespeare's sister Joan. Walter Scott's line ended with the sec ond or third generation. It is also a notable fact that great men rarely leave great descendants, as witness Bismarck and Gladstone. Among other celeb rites who left no direct heir was Beaconsfeld.

CASH CUSTOMERS.
One Groceryman Says He Prefers Those
 Who Trade on Credit.

One Groceryman Says He Prefers Those
 Who Trade on Credit.
 It seems very strange, but it is true, nevertheless, that customers who pay cash for their purchases are not consid- cred very desirable by butchers or gro- cers, and especially those who do not send children or messengers after the goods, but go themselves and have the articles selected and weighed or meas ured under their personal supervision. 4 groceryman whom l questioned on the subject cndeavored to deny that such was the fact, says writer in the New York Telegram, but when 1 men, toned several instances to show that it was true, he said: Well, we don't like them because they are too particular They want the biggest and best of everything and then they beat down your prices as low as they can. Of course it is pleasant to get the ready money, but it comes in such small amounts that the full benefit of it is not appreciated. Besides you are never sure of Q cash customer. They are not in your debt and can quit you when they feel they have q grievance. You are sure of the customers who run an account with you, though occasionally they fail to pay. But we have . way of protecting ourselves against loss,' said the gro ceryman, with sly smile.
 No wonder the butchers and Grocers prefer customers who run book to those who pay cash,'' said boarding house keeper of my acquaintance; "a cent or two more on pound for every thing is charged to the book customer, who is usually careless in noting the in- crease, but this difference alone makes a handsome profit for the grocer. In addition to this the poorest quality of goods is foisted on the customer who runs an account, as the privilege of run hing book is supposed to be favor for which the customer cannot be too grateful. Where the latter is inclined to be careless 1t often happens that cer- tain items find their way on the book, so that when the account is footed up at the end of the week or month the total is found to be much larger than was an ticipatcd. It is not at all strange, to one who knows, why grocers and butchers are willing to take chances with book customers ;;

The Original " Sucker. !"

"The word sucker originated at the Galena mines in Illinois in the fall of 1922, at a time when there was a great exodus. \ large returning party, while boarding Q steamer at the Galena wharf, was asked: 'Wher' ye go.n?' To hum, was the reply. We'll was the reioinder of an old miner, 'ye put me in mind of suckers, they do go up the river in the spring, spawn, and all return down ag'in in the fall"

Stole His Thunder.

A western justice of the peace, who was more noted for severity than knowledge of law, was very much annoyed one day by an attorney who was in the habit of parading his legal lore and making the justice appear at g disadvantage At last the justice was enraged, and he shouted: Be quiet, sir, or I will commit you." The lawyer seized the book of printed forms, which was the sole reliance of the justice in making out his committals, and as he walked out of court he shouted de- risively to the justice: ''Now. I defy you to commit me-"

HELIOGRAPH LANGUAGE.
Signaling by This Method Is a Compara
 lively Recent Invention.

Signaling by This Method Is a COmpara- lively Recent Invention.
 In the dispatches from the northwest
 describing the movements of the troops assembled there mention was now and then made of the operations of the hehOgraph corps, and also of the signal ing by the Indians among themselves with pieces of looking-glass. The first use of the modern system of military signaling, which was invented by Gen. A. J. Myer, of the United States army, was in the campaign against the Navajo Indians in northwestern New Mexico in 1860, says the New York Sun. Flags and torches were the means chiefly used. Signaling by reflected light has beeen common in many countries for Q long period; the American Indian has for years used bits of looking-glass for this purpose. The perfected heliograph is comparatively a recent invention. It is small, adjustable mirror mounted on Q tripod and easily portable. When the mirror has been adjusted to reflect the light upon the station to be com- municated with Q movable screen is set up in front of it, and the signaling is done by revealing or obscuring the flash for shorter or longer periods, corre- spending with the dots and dashes of the Morse telegraph alphabet. Signal ing with the heliograph has been done successfully over distance of one hun dred and twenty-five miles, and it is not uncommon to cover distances of eighty to one hundred miles. Fifty-fve miles is about the ordinary average. The signal corps used the heliograph very effectively in the campaign against the Apache Indians in Arizona in 1886, and the corps has also attained remark able results with the heliograph in other more peaceful signaling opera tionS-

X Pictured Gem.

One of the strangest lapidarian freaks that has ever come within the knowl- edge of diamond experts is now on view at the Burns Hotel, in Kimberly, South Africa. The stone, says the Jewellers Weekly, is in shape and size like a pigeons egg, of dark brown color ex- formally, and at first sight opaque. If viewed in a dark place, with a candle or other light so placed that the rays pass through the stone before falling on the retina, however, one sees distinctly the image of a man from the waist up- ward Turning the pebble, he sees at another point a woman's face, partly concealed by heavy tresses, and yet, again, on another portion of the surface being applied to the eye, moonlit cloud sketch is clearly dllineated.
 The stone was found in debris wash up, and e10 los have been refused for it. A Mr. Bergsma, debris washer, was the finder of the remark able stone.
