A Parasitical Children's Skin Disease
which May Become Chronic.
Ringworm is a contagious disease
of O parasitical nature, produced by
the growth in the skin of vegetable
fungus. Its beginning and progress
remind one of the spread of fire in
prairie grass. From a point itspreads
outward in a more or less regular
ring of reddish inflammation, sub
siding il the center as it spreads out
ward, as if the material necessary
for its continuance at single spot
were soon exhausted.
1t attacks all parts of the body, but
is most commonly found on the face,
the back of the hands and the scalp.
Children contract it oftener than
adults, probably because their skin is
more tender and because peculiar
opportunity is offered for direct con-
tact of the person in schools and 9th
er places where children congregate.
The disease is commonly spread by
means of caps and other articles of
clothing and by combs.
When it attacks the scalp, the hairs
become dry, brittle and twisted and
fall out. The ends next the skin look
rough, as though bitten or gnawed
| off.
Since ringworm is parasitical in its
origin, it might be supposed that
measures of simple cleanliness would
remove it or prevent its occurrence,
but while such measures hinder its
spread to some extent it's thorough
removal is effected only by remedies
aimed at the destruction of the para
site.
This is a much more serious task
than it would be if the growth of the
fungus took place directly upon the
surface of the skin. 1t is therefore
important that the treatment should
be exactly fitted to the peculiaritiei
of the particular case.
1t is the more important that pro
fessional advice should be sought
because the occurrence of ringworn
is often associated with a degree OF
systemic debility or insufficient nu
triton. Some of the most rapid and
permanent recoveries from this trou
blesome disease are obtained wher
in addition to proper medical treat
ment the patient is sent away from
home for time, though the distanct
be but slight
A writer in a medical review say
that when ringworm appears in
school rigid measures should bt
taken to prevent its spread, as thu
disease, though apparently easily
cured, is apt to recur, and if neglect
ed to become more or less chronic

Politeness Pays.

Virtue is not to be measured by os
tentatious giving. There is frequent
ly more real love for humanity in
the soul of the man who removes the
banana skin from the pavement thar
in the heart of the donor of the me
mortal window in the church. Polite
ness, like all other faults and virtues
may become habitual. 1t is surpris
ing how many small acts of kindness
how many little deeds of helpfulness
one may do in the course of a day
when there are inclination to be kind
and lookout kept for the opportu
nifty.
One may set out with this inten
ton in the morning, and the footing
up at night-not to Others, but u
ones own secret conscience-will b'
cheering and encouraging. -ChicagC

place of public entertainment when
the sound of her own name uttered
by a group just in front OF her at
tracted her attention, and she dlscov-
cred that a gentleman in the com
panv of several ladies was pointing
out another lady at some distance to
his companions as herself.
"Oh, dear, she's not at all pretty

opera glass.

can't appreciate her ugliness without

The Story of Two Girls Who Brought Two
Bashful Lovers To Time.

The Story of Two Girls Who Brought Two
Bashfui Lovers to Time.
This is about two girls who lived
in western mining town, and who
might have been married to the
choicest young men of the town if
they hadn't each fallen in love with
one of the weakest. The boys were
friends, named respectively Smith
and Curtiss, and they were so slow to
pop" the important question, even
while desperately in love, that tie
girls concluded to bring them to time
Just the way men do, said Sally
Hanks, take a six shooter and ask
them their intentions. There won't
be any need of loading the shooters
they'll be so scared they'll drop the
minute they see them.
The young men were partners in
business, and Sally Hanks and her
friend Ethel Barber called together
at their Office, carrying the weapons
concealed in their handbags.
Ethel trembled so she could hardly
stand, but her friend Sally was
nerved right up to business.
Were just tired of shilly shally
ing" she said sternly. IF you don't
know your own minds, wen helI
you to find out, and we won't stand
any more foolin, for theirs Others

shooter and held it under the nose
of Byron Smith, who nearly tainted

and dropped on his knees.
Curtiss took the weapon in gin
gerly manner out of Ethers hands
and asked her to be Mrs. Curtiss a
the earliest possible date.
But Sally kept hers, and they do
say that it has figured in their do
mestic history on occasions since
then, but can vouch for its never
having been loaded.
Once when Byron Smith refused
to eat some bread his wife had made
and threw it ON the floor Sally haC
recourse to her six shooter. Point
ing it at him, she said sternly:
"Pick up that bread"
He picked it up.
Now eat il"
He ate it to the last crumb ant

In the top of my tall cherry tree,

But the feast was furnished by me.

His wife and his cousin, Birdie Blue,
Gave CHEEKY welcome TO one and all,
AS to the festal board they flew.
Prince Oriole from Elm Tree View,
His princess, too, heard them say,
His royal form in gold and blue,
While she was dressed In russet gray.

Miss Phoebe Gray of Woodshed Esves,
A dude named Cedar, Molly Wren,
All came to sit among the leaves
And taste my cherries now and then.
At last nv guests adjourned the feast
When UIN.ny fruit they'd had their fill,
But did not notice me the least,
Nor said they aught about the bill.
They went and left me standing ther
but will not give up to sorrow,
They're welcome to their feast today
If they will not come back tomorrow.

Not Too Much Gold.

Gold-not yellow, but the hue Of the
precious metal-yields the most satisfy
ing color sensation of which the human
retina is capable. 1t behooves the de-
signer to employ it most sparingly, save
where an effect Of utmost splendor is
aimed at. Unhappily many persons with
no right to splendor desire to be splen-
did; everybody. seeing that society has
become impatient of sumptuary laws,
has legal right to be as splendid as he
can.
Every hackney driver ON his cab, every
publican on his premises, every publisher
ON the miserable cloth covers of his
Christmas books, may vie with his neigh
Dor and rival in the cheap and lavish use
of what is the ideal of costliness and
rarity in the fictitious display of what
used to be the emblem of truth-pure
gold.
The evil resulting from this is twofold.
Gold has alike ceased to be used by the
designer or regarded by the beholder
with any reverence, for, taking excess
i've advantage Of that property which
makes it possible to spread it in infinite.
simally thin layers, it is used to impar1
merit to faulty design and spurious
value to cheap material. 1t is not sin
