CUTICURA BABY,

This beautiful baby boy, the son OF Geo.

one of thousands completely cured by the
CUTICURA REMEDIES of tortur.ng and
disfguring skin disease after many Doctors
remedies had wholly failed. The mar veil
Gus cures daily performed by these great
remedies have astonished all familiar with
them. More but mothers realize how these
little ones suffer when their tender skins
are litera " on fire with itching and burn
ing eczemes, and other itching scaly, blot-
chy and pimply skin and scalp diseases. To
know that a single application o. the CUTI-
CURA REMEDIES will afford instant relief,
permit rest and sleep, and point to perma-
nent and economical because most speedy
cure, and not to use them, is to fail in your
duty. Parents, think of the mental and
physical suffering to be endured in years
to come from neglected skin, scalp and
blood diseases. Cures made in infancy and
childhood are almost invariably permanent.

The Best known /,

That which is the most widely known
is sure to give the greatest satisfaction
When we are sick and in eed of ply
stefan, we send for the one who is known
to be the most skillful in lis profession.
1t is only recently that people all over
the land had the opportunity of obtain
ing tho best medical consultation and
advice without charge.
DIR. Greene, of "a Temple place, Bos-
ton, Mass, is without question the best
known and most skiilfrh physician in
curing nervous and chronic diseases. He
is the discoverer of the wonderful cure,
DR.. Greene's Nervuras blood and nerve
remedy. and has lately adopted the plan
of treating the sick from far and near by
means of letter correspondence. His
success is simply wonderful. People
can consult him by letter free Of charge.
He gives most careful and explicit at
tention to all letters, answering all ques-
lions and thoroughly explaining your
disease so that you know just what is
the matter with you. For this there is
no charge whatever. The doctor uses
only harmless vegetable remedies, and
has the greatest success in curing disease
through letter corn dependence. Send
for his symptom blank, and he will write
you full descrip tion of your disease
and give you advice and directions how
to cure it free of chfrge.

TRUTH AND LIFE.
What Are They, Whence Come They' ana
WHITTIER Do They Lead?

Whittier Do They Lead!
There are two questions which, II mas
been SAID, Will never be satisfactorily anu
hnally answered by man. One IS Wnao Is
TRUTH The other, what is life! Inc an-
clients struggled unavailingly Win DOM
problems, and the moderns follow IN ohelr
footsteps, but whether by inductlve OF oe-
ductlye methods the result has been the
same-failure. At the same time IL Is not
only interesting but of real value TO follow
the latest trend of science as it encroaches
on the vast sea of the unknown.
just as sandspit occasionally pushes
out into the ocean and forms for time
well marked promontory, but finally yields
and is utterly destroyed, so the theories OF
science which seem 80 well founded are liza
BILE to be swept away. Yet in their time
they were useful, and each had the posi-
bility within it of forming solid ground.
Some OF the greatest mistakes OF science
have thus led to most important results,
not because of their own value but because
from them have grown up the solid basis
of acknowledged facts. It thus becomes
important to record every advance whether
real or imaginary, because no one can fore
tell whether it is a merely temporary sand
spit or solid foundation for increased
knowledge
Professor John A. Ryder of the Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania, whose work in the
cultivation of the oyster, the sturgeon and
the lobster has established his reputation
as scientist even among those who are
unfamiliar with his more abstruse and las
he believes) more important studies. has
recently given to the world the result of
hig work fha o,1hS of ha
origin. of life itself. From less authority
the attempt wonld receive and deserve
comparatively little consideration. but the
eminence of the man and the wide scope of
his knowledge render his hypothesis or, as
he prefers to call it, his conception worthy
of careful study.
Long before the microscope was invented
the doctrine that all life sprang from pre-
lished. With the microscope came the dis
covery that all forms of life were aggre-
gates of cells, and that without cells there
was no life. Later came Virchow's gener
alization that each cell sprang from pre-
viously existing CELL This is the present

of protoplasm or cell substance as the
physical basis Of life had been gone oyer,
and its character, chemical and physical,
investigated. The numerous one celled ami
mails and plants had been studied closely
as forming the best basis for the ultimate
discovery of the cause which it was recog-
nized was the same which governed life,

What He Didn't Do.

A young lady who is really popular in
Washington society tells me the following
-on herself:
The summer she spent at q mountain re-
sort in Virginia, where she was the recip-
lent of course of a number of attentions
fromthe men, both young and old. Among
the most persistentwas young man whom
shall conceal by calling Jones. He was
very devoted He took the young girl
walking and driving. He spent money on
her. sending candy and flowers, which cost
high at certain seasons. One evening there
was hop at the hotel. Between the dances
Mr.. Jones proposed promenade The
night was beautiful and the air balmy.
The young lady consented. Notice that
the plot thickens and thickens.) Jones told
her he thought she was the most charming
person, he had ever met; that she was every
thing that man could desire for wife.
He even said he loved her. The young
woman, not little frightened, said:
"But you know, Mr.. Jones, could never
marry you.p
He stopped short in his rhapsody and re-
piled:

Melting Birds.

The first plumage of the bird after .t
leaves the egg is short hair or down,
which is gradually replaced by the growth
of the true feather, and when the melting
season approaches these downy feathers,
which have been growing in size beneath
the older plumage, gradually approach per-
lection. Then the old feathers drop off.
leaving the bird dressed in it's new coat.
Although the work has been in process for
some time, the actual period of the final
cutting off of the food supply and the con-
sequent dropping Of the feathers covers but
a short period, ana an entire visible change
is accomplished often in one weeks time.
Different birds vary in their melting hab-
it's to suit the various exigenoies of their
life, and it may be well to view the other
causes which operate to this end.-Boston

HORSES ON ICE.
They Found Skating on Congress Street
Difficult Sport.

Ice formed on Congress street last eve
ming, and number of horses found that
without skates they could not get over
it. 1t was understood by the police that
the cause of this state of things was the
trip of a sprinkling cart, which in the
course of its journey late yesterday af-
ternoon wet down the asphalt on the
southerly side of Congress street, above
State. Then the shades of night de-
scended, and under the cover of dark
ness Jack Frost transformed that asphalt
into a skating rink. 4 horse attached to
IN express wagon slid out a short dis
d, own before his driver knew what slle
trt )uble was. He was rescued in time to
Civ e room for the next victim, horse
att tched to coupe. This horse re peat
ed the performance of the first, and
mad e way for another, which broke his
fall by sitting en- the carriage shafts as
he went down. The shafts broke, but
let the horse down easy. About this
time somebody telephoned the police
station that % horses had fallen down.
This estimate was probably la rye, but as
horses are generally smooth shod at this
season Of the year, it is probable that
the ice upset about every h orse which
stepped on it. Marshal Tvickey hap
pened to be in the vicinity and stationed
Officer Warren to warn off teams until
the street department could fence off the
dangerous place, which W as promptly
done.
