A SUFFERING CHILD
Head and Scalp Raw with
Places Size of Silver Dollar. Va
rious Remedies only caused Fresh
Eruptions. Applied CUTICURA.
Change in Twenty-four Hours.
Perfect Cure in Two Weeks.

My little son, aged three, was very much
troubled with a breaking out on his scalp
and behind his ear. The places affected were
about as large as silver dollar; the flesh
seemed raw and covered with little blisters.
The child suffered considerably, and was nat
urally very fretful. l tried several remedies
without obtaining any beneficial results; ia
fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. l concluded to
try the CUTIURA REMEDIES. I washed the
affected parts with the CUT!cURA SOAP, tax
ing care not to IrrItate the flesh, and applied
CUT1URA. noticed a change for the better
in the appearance of the eruptions IN twenty.
four hours, and in two weeks the eruptions
entirely disappeared, leaving the skin smooth
and the scalp clean; in fact perfect cure,
as 1 have not seen any indications of any
eruption or breaking out since. l gave the
child only a few doses of the CUTIcURA RE-
SOLVENT. consider your CUTIcURA RENE
DIES very valuable. 1 believe CUTICURA
would be excellent for applying to insect bites,
which are very annoying in this country:

Waste In the Construction of Houses.

In this day of improvements and conven-
lent appliances of all sorts it is a rather
remarkable fact that some way is not de-
vised whereby the dwelling house can be
made more comfortable during the winter
season. One might almost fancy that
builders and dealers in fuel were in league
with each other, SO badly built and faulty
arranged is the average dwelling house.
Chimneys are so situated that their enor-
nous bulk of bricks and mortar absorb 0
large portion of the heat, and these, with
one side exposed to the weather, draw
from the house large share of the warmth
that is needed to comfort within. To real
ize this one has but to glance at an ordinary
brick building during heavy rain. The
chimney on the outside of the house will
be dry, while the remainder of the wall is
reeking with wet.
No one seems as yet to have devised any
way to utilize this great waste which Is 60
ing on in almost all of the public and pri-
vate edifices all over the country. The value
of the fuel thus absolutely wasted might
astonish the careless and thoughtless could
they but for one moment be brought to re-
alize just what this means. Almost intol-
erably hot in summer and correspondingly
cold in winter, it is sometimes a wonder to
those who give the matter due considera-
ton that the dwellers in these places enjoy
even a moderate degree of health.-New

CraZed Engineers.

Insanity is very frequent among rail-
way employees. Two dramatic illustra-
tions can be mentioned There is living
in New Jersey, not far from Philadel
phia, man who for many years was
the foremost passenger engineer between
New York and Philadelphia on the
Pennsylvania railroad. He ran all the
specials and best trains, and in 10 years
never had an accident. One night in
the CLEAN Of the headlight he saw a
woman. He had only time to see her
hands raised and to hear her cry, and
before he could put his hand upon the
lever he felt a jerk under the wheels
and knew that all was over Since that
night he has never been on All engine.
For months he did not sleep and later
became practically insane, but only on
the one point of seeing and hearing the
woman his engine killed Now he goes
about harmlessly and aimlessly, but he
has to be kept away from railroads, and
in his fretful sleep he awakes with cries
and paroxysms of horror. The other
case is that of man who was conductor
Of a train on the Camden and Amboy,
whose train had an accident. He came
out all right himself, but it preyed 80
upon his mind that one night he left his
home, and going to the point where the

CIeopatra's Rival.

The beautiful Octavia, the wife OF
the great general, but weak and lnfa-
nous, Antonius, was a woman OF rare
personal integrity and moral worth
When Antonius for the second time,
and this irremediably, fell under the
sway of the Incompatible destinations
of Cleopatra, Octavia not only main
tanned the dignity of her husband s
house and took care of her own and An
tonius' children, but also those he had
had by Fulvia, one of his previous
wives. OF this Fulvia Plutarch slyly re-
marks:
1t was her ambition to govern those
that governed and to command the lead
ers of armies. 1t was to Fulvla that
Cleopatra was obliged for teaching An
tonius due submission to female author
ity. He had gone through such course
of discipline as made him perfectly
tractable when he came into her hands.

The Growth of Electric Railroads.

''The growth of the use of electricity
as a motive power is remarkable, said
E. l.. Carson, an electrician of Boston.
'Two years ago there were only 161
electric railways in the United States,
while now there are over 500. Six years
ago an electric car with two motors cost
81, 500, while the bids for the last con-
tract knew to be given ran from 500
to 81, 500, and the former was the price
ut which it was given, the manufactur-
ers being reliable men. 1t seems singular
that with such a constantly increasing
demand there should be such competi-
ton as to run prices down to one-seventh
Of what was paid six years ago, but such
is the case, and before it stops there
will be very few lines of street railroad
in the country not run by electricity. -

SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT ACT
To Suppress Fraudulent Advertisements
of Worlds Fair Awards?

To Suppress Fraudulent Advertisements
of Worlds Fair Awards?
Letters from both the Chief of Awards
ION Agricultural at the Chicago Worlds
Fair, Mr.. j. S. Browning, and the Judge
of Awards on Baking Powders expose
the falsity of the claim made in behalf
of Chicago baking powder that it re-
ceived the highest award for leavening
power, keeping qualities, purity and gen.
eral excellence.
The Judge of Awards says that this
claim is false; that no such award was
given to that baking powder.
Mr.. Browning in his letter already
published also shows that there was no
award given to the Chicago company for
the best baking powder.
1t now appears further that the analv-
ses of the powders exhibited showed a
baking powder made in New York alto
gether the superior of the Chicago pow
der in both purity and strength.
The government has prohibited the
use for advertising purposes of the med
ais awarded by the fair. 1t would be a
great protection to the public if the gov
eminent would also prohibit the publ
cation of false claims, such as those that
have been exposed in relation to such
awards.
The only official competitive test of a
national character, from which consum-
ers can obtain the actual facts as to the
relative values of all the principal brands
of baking powder of the country, is that
made by the Agricultural Department at
Washington, d. G. 1t so happens that
this was conducted by the same eminent
chemist who acted as Judge of Awards
at the Chicago Columbian Fair. As has
already been published, at this exami-
nation the Royal Baking Powder was
found to be the superior powdef and
highest in leavening strength.

A PERTINENT PARAGRAPH.

"Our country, if right, should be kept
right; if wrong, should be put right" Is
political maxim which, paraphrased, ap-
plies to other conditions of life, thus: our
health, if right, should be kept right; il
wrong should be put right especially in
bu.iiy ailments, such as pains and aches,
which ST. Jacobs Oil promptly cures. Many
out of work should heed to give it chance
to cure, and it will give them q chance to
go to work cured. Another adage Is; ne
doeth best who doeth WE'LL" Well, OF
course, YOU want to be well from all sorts
of aches, and the best thing to do is to use
the great remedy. He who does SO is doing
we'll indeed.

Aeen seen west of the Missouri river,
the Dakotas (Sioux) were one nation,
ruled bv one chief The last of this au-
tocratic dynasty was Old Smoke, who
died in 1859 after seeing his people
pushed westward and his power curtail-
ed. Although the husband Of more than
one souaw, he left but one child, tiny
girl, who could hardly COO when Old
Smoke got ready to float upward to the
happy hunting grounds. When dying,
he took her in his arms and named her
The Beautiful Woman, and so she has
since been known. The Beautiful Wom'
an was a princess. She did no work,
but learned of missionaries, scorned dog
meat and kept her nails trimmed and
her glorious black hair plated and
combed. She grew to womanhood, high
spirited, proud and capricious-an ideal
squaw. But as no ideal chief came to
WOO her she scorned an alliance with
anv common member of the tribe.
Young Jordan, tall, bright eyed
fellow of good education and address,
came west as clerk to the Indian agent
at Pine Ridge He fell in love with the
princess, and his love was reciprOcated
by the Sioux maiden. And so they were
married by priest in stole and surplice
and with all the formalities of the white
mans laws and customs. The big Sioux
chiefs came from miles around to attend
the wedding, the army officers from the
neighboring posts jingled their spurs in
the Old Virginia reel, which followed
the benediction, and the pretty Sioux
queen has since been plain Mrs. Jordan.

alliance. Charles p. Jordan, the Sioux
queens husband, has lived on the from

prime, and his adventures would fill q

tortured and even condemned to death

ranch, well wooded with oak, elm, ash
