Novel Cure for Drunkenness.

Police Justice Morrison of Rockfort
I'LL, has hit upon a novel scheme for
dealing with drunkards. When such
an inyeterate appears before the Hi
nois justice he looks him over and
says:
IF I let you go will you promise
upon your honor to report at police
headquarters three times day to
show that you are keeping sober?"
The prisoner will promise to do any
thing rather than go to Jail He APP
pears at police headquarters morning,
noon and night, where an tiicer with
powerful nose for whiskey smells his
breath. If he is sober he is allowed
to so his way, but if he shows traces
of intoxication he is sent to Jail If
he fails to report it is taken as a sign
that he has lopsel, and he is searched
for throughout the city. When found
he is landed in Jail and made to serve
out ten days sentence. The plan is
working like a charm. New York

England, many various causes may
have led to the belief, which possibly
arose in comparatively modern times
not earlier than the Crusades.
Nothing is more probable than that
several Crusaders brought home the
gorgeous feathers as curiosities, a
strange sight, and so likely to make a
deep impression. Nothing is easier
to conceive than that some misfor-
tune, death from disease, loss of
wealth, or other ''bad luck" may have
happened to more than one possessor
of the beautiful feathers, and that
they would on that account soon be
credited with being the cause, A be-

A ScarecrOw for Mosquitoes.

John Habberton states with the SOL
emnity of firm conviction that mos
quitoes are extremely frightened by
dragon flies and will not come within
yards of them. He says that one or
two dried dragon flies suspended from
fine silk under the roof of an open
porch infested by mosquitoes will scare
all of the little pests away, and they
will not come back while the dragon
flies are there. This, he says, he has
tried with surprising results. 1t is a
well-known fact that dragon flies are
predatory and voraeious insects, and
that they subsist largely upon gnats,
midges and mosquitoes, and it is but
natural that the mosquito, which is a
wise insect, should regard the spin
dle," charming needle" or dragon
fly as the small bird regards the hawk.

Itching,
Burning,
Eczema

Is the external indication Of a con-
dition of the blood which produces a
fiery irritation almost unbearable. 1t is
mistake to think that this local irrita-
tion is the disease itself-it is simply an
evidence of disordered condition of the
blood. The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and this is why the various salves
and ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only
blood remedy can do that. S. S. S. is
without an equal for blood diseases, and
promptly and permanently cures Eczema
and removes all taint.
Much torture could be avoided if the
first itching symptoms were needed and
course of S.S.S. taken promptly, as ap-
parently Insignificant skin irritations
usually develop into the worst form
of Eczema unless properly treated.
1t matters not what other treatment
has been tried in vain, S. S. S. always
gets at the seat of the disease, and
forces it out.
