How to Tan Furs.

Spread the skin fiat, with the inner
side upward, and sprinkle it with mix
ture of salt two parts, saltpeter one part
and alum one part. The mixture must
be pounded fine. Put on plenty and roll
the skin up tight. In few days the
powder will have dissolved. Then
stretch the skin on a board and scrape
the inside quite clean. Dry it thor
oughly in the sun. Rub it we'll with
neatsfoot Oil and dry it again in the
sun. Scrape it again, to get the
loose oil out, and sprinkle it we'll with
hot plaster of paris powder. Rub this in
with a cloth. Dry once more, and the
fur will be ready to use.

HOW THE HlNDoos SHAVED.
Peculiar Religious Ceremony In the Fal
East.

Peculiar Religious Ceremony In the Far
East.
In the Koran there is no mention of
shaving at all, yet the Mohammedans
shave their heads in the same manner
as the Hindoos. They also shave their
armpits. But among the Hindoos-not
only now, but ever since the publication
of the Purana ''Sambo" (the date of
which is uncertain I'VE find the hairs
which grow upon the body regarded
with mixture of veneration and awe,
for in this work it is written that ac-
cording to the hairs a man has upon his
body so many years Gone year for each
hair) shall his body remain in bliss or
torment before again returning to the
earth. This number is computed at some
5000, 900 And so we find that when 81
Hindoo child is born many ceremonies
are gone through with priests and as
trologers, and then in the first, third,
fifth or any odd year they (the parents)
generally go to a certain fair and IN an
suspicious time and near temple of a
god have the child shaved for the first
time. On reaching mans estate most
Hindoos keep only cue on the top of
their heads and shave the rest of it.
There is an object in this, for when
they bathe-three times day is the al
lotted performance-they tie this cue i'll
knot and then proceed with "pooja, :"
or worship, saying verses from the
Gayatri. Some Hindoos wear mustaohes
and boards turned up, but all wear
whiskers, which are shaved off once
when an adult of their connection dies.
The shaving off of whiskers is thus a
sign of mourning. The Hindoos burn
their dead, and the person who sets fire
to the pile has himself shaved in every
portion of the head and face, except only
his cue, but if the person deceased,
whether male or female, be younger
than he, then he does not shave his
whiskprS

Cancer
Can be Cured.

It is very often that the most insig-
nificant symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not a more destr uctive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority of cases it
is first indicated by a very small pi1n-
pie or sore, to which no attention is
attracted, until it before long develops
into the most alarming conditions.
Here is another case where the first
symptoms of a most violent Cancer
were too small to receive much notice
until the disease had fully developed.
Mrs. Laura E. Minis has resided at
Smithvi11e, Georgia, for years, andis
we'll known throughout the adjoining
country. In a recent letter she tells
of a wonderful case.
She says: d" A small pitnp1e of a
strawberry color appeared on my
cheek; it soon changed to purple, and
began to grow rapidly, notwithstand-
ing all efforts to check it, until it was
the size of a partridge egg. My eye
became terribly infamed, and was so
swollen, that for quite while I could
not see. The doctors said I had Cam

THE BIG DEPARTMENT STORES
They Do More Damage to the Country
Than they Do Good.


Than they Do Good.
| Those who go to the big department
stores to trade, little realize that they
are supporting one of the worst monop-
olies in the country. So great is the
evil becoming that all retail dealers in
our country are becoming bankrupt,
and outside property is becoming
worthless. Even outside towns feel
the heavy hand of these stores, and
every year the retail business is be-
coming more precarious.
New York retailers, yesterday held a
monster mass meeting and the follow
ing resolutions were passed:
WHEREAS, The combining of various
retail businesses into so-called depart
ment stores, owned and controlled by
individual firms, tends to create trusts,
and monopolies, destined to drive
many smaller retailers out of business
and to deprive many of the opportuni-
ty of entering business on their own
account, and results in injury to the
renting of stores adapted for retail
business, and depreciating of the value
of property, besides menacing the
prosperity of the country.
Now, therefore, believing that THE
retail dealers need protection to their
business industries as much as the
mine owner or producer, and believing
that the maintenance of the individ-
uality of each respective kind of bust
ness as it has heretofore existed will
best promote the welfare of this cOun-
try, and will afford every man tho
privilege of enjoying the rights anil
protection which this country off. rs
and guarantees to it's merchants and
citizens, and that it will prove as bene-
fetal to the manufacturers and whole
salers as it is to the retailer; be il
Resolved, That for the purpose of
protecting the retailers interests, we
recommend the Capitalization of the
various trades organizations represent
led in this conference under the name
of the United Business Mems AssOcia-
ton of the State of New York, and
that all organized business mems SO .
cieties be invited to join such associa-
ton and cooperate with us.
That suitable resolutions be adopte d
calling upon the legislature of the state
and the congress of the United States
to enact such laws as will prevent the
concentration and Capitalization of
various retail businesses under the
management and control of one firm
and that we adopt all lawful means to
accomplish this purpose.
That we invite the public to sustain
us in our laudable endeavor, for it is
their cause as we'll as our own.
That we recommend the publication
of a weekly organizer securing the
assistance of some such organ to ex-
pound and promulgate the purposes of
our organizat ion.

Ger of the most malignant type, and

case as hopeless. When informed that
my father had died from the same
disease, they said must die, as hered-
itary Cancer was incurab1e. was

if my life was was ting away.

friend to try S. S. S., and in short

that was favorable, however, as the
medicine acts by forcing out the
poison through the pores of the skin.
''Before long the Cancer began to

three months; then it began to heal.
/ continued the medicine a while
longer, until the Cancer disap-

health than ever before. This has
been several years ago and there has
not been a sign of d return of the
disease"
Cancer is becoming alar1ning1y
prevalent, and manifests itself in
such a variety of forms, that any
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and
disappear may well be regarded with
suspicion.
