When my little girl was one month old,
she had scab form on her face. 1t kept
spreading until she was completely covered
from head TO foot Then she had boiis.
She had forty on her head at one time, and
more on her body. When six months old
she did not weigh seven pounds, pound
and a half less than ut birth. Then her
skin started to dry up and got so bad she
could not shut her eyes to Sleep but laid
with them half open. About this time. at
the earnest request of friends, started
using the CUTicURA REMEDIES. and IN one
moaM she rus completely cured. The doctor
and drug bills were over ore hundred dollars,
the Cuticura bill was not more than Jiye
dollars. My child is now two years old,
strong healthy and large as any child Of
her age (see photo) and it is all owing to
CuTtcuRA. Yours with Mothers Blessing,

lt cost young man $.4j to coast with
his bicycle on Eutaw street, Baltimore
This was the first case made under the new
ordinance prohibiting coasting within the
city hrlits of Baltimore. Coasting is a term
applied to that kind OF riding wherein the
wheeiman takes his feet from the pedals,
props them up on the foot-rests and lets the
wheel move by force OF gravity down ELL
II there Is much of a grade the wheel will
attain high speed. 1t is generally believed
that II Is less easily controlled by the rider
when his feet are on the pedals. There are
several regulations In this city regarding
the use of wheels, some of which the wheel
men themselves believe unnecessary, There
Is no specific regulation against coasting,
although one or two serious accidents have
resulted from its practice. The use of the
wheel In Washington streets has come to be
regarded as necessity, as much as the use
OF other vehicles. 1t Is, however, good
policy for riders to make the use of wheels
as little Of an annoyance and as little dan
gerous to pedestrians as possible. Coasting
Is pastime which always inspires the
pedestrian with q sense of danger, and that
1t is actually dangerous has been shown
One favorite place for coasting Is the Capitol
grounds, with its steep and winding road
ways There 1t Is especially dangerous. 1t
would be a good thing If the wheelmen
themselves, without the necessity of official
interference, would give up the practice.

so. The Inauguration of such an enterprise
in many lands-and in this land certainly
would have been attended by effort to
secure assistance from the general govern
ment, but the people of Manchester put UP
their own money in such sums as compelled
success. The example thus set should not
be lost. 1t should attract American atten-
ton, and Is especially commended to the
men of Chicago That city would, within a
few years. be incomparably great if it had
direct fluid communication with the Allan
tic, either to the east or south. The work
necessary to make the connecting water
ways navigabie for ships of twenty-six feet
draught, as is the Manchester canal, would
be something stupendous, but that the
money invested would return many-fold can
hardly be doubted. Small vessels can now
reach Chicago through the ST. Lawrence
and the Canadian canals, but the limited
opportunities for ocean commerce thus af-
forded give no indication of what mighty
commerce would result were there such a
system of canals as the grain trade of the
northwest needs and cries for.

The electricians, those who have pro-
gressed so far in their studies as to have
attained to some degree OF mastery of the
mysterious force. promise remarkable
achievements for the future-it may be that
some of them will go into the record OF
1894. These predictions, together with
others respecting advances to be made in
other departments of effort and knowledge,
have been gathered together from we'll
known authorities by McClure's Maga-
zine. The electric motor is. according to
these prophets. to displace the steam en-
gine; life is to be prolonged by the use OF
electricity as a therapeutic agent; men
are to be able to see through a wire the
optical images impressed on a transmitter
a thousand miles away; even the register
ing of unwritten, unspoken thought by cleo
tricity Is not deemed entirely beyond the
range of scientific possibility. The electric
age has just opened. The telegraph. incan-
descent lights. the telephone. the electric
railway. are but the products Of the kinder
garten stage of the science. Then with
electricity as great central Industrial
agency, social changes are to be brought
about. Science will win from the earth an
abundance, the necessity for much labor.
for the hard, grinding toll that keeps men
an Improvement in mems moral and intel
lectual state will follow. Perhaps elec-
tricity will bring the millennium, but even
the most enthusiastic prophecies do not fix
the date for the beginning of that happy pc
riod in 1894. The working classes may
not, however, take much stock in the prom
ise Of easier lives. 1t has been their COM
plaint that they have never had their full
share Of the benefits of labor-saving ma
chinery in a proportionate reduction of
hours Of labor. To meet this, however,
one writer on the marvels of the future
suggests that the tyranny of corporations
and trusts Is to be broken by electricity.
The independence of the workingman will
be restored, because he will be given the
forces needed for his work in his own
home. Great promises are made likewise
OF advances in the sciences of psychology
and chemistry, in religious thought; in
fact. In about everything which concerns
the welfare of mankind. According to these
promises the achievements of the nine
teenth century will serve as but a faint
indication of what the twentieth century
will bring forth.
