LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form of red pimpIes
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods SarsaparilIa. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon- After giving
him four bottles of Hoods SarsaparilIa
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

BACCHANTE FINDS A HOME.
On q Pedestal in the Metropolitan
Museum of Arts.

New York, Oct. 30.-Bacchante the out
cast statue rejected by Boston, has found
a home in the Metropolitan Museum of
Art. Despite a signed protest received
from 20 coIored persons, said to be women.
the trustees of the museum decided to ac-
cept the statue.
General Di CesnoIa pointed out a bit
of realism in the statue which had not
been noticed before This is a slight con-
traction of the flesh just above the knees,
which indicated to the general that BAG
chante only recently had removed her

APHoR1sms OF TENNYsoN.

(From Life of Lord Tennyson.")
True progress is graduation.
Hope is the kiss of the future.
Education, as we call education,
would have spoiled John Bright.
Every agitator should be made to
prove his means of livelihood.
1t is the authors more than the dip
donates, who make nations love one
another.
In a war, we English do not listen to
arguments until we are victorious.
Evil must come upon US headlong if
morality tries to get on without relig-
ion.
Writing to order is what I hate. They
think a poet can write poems to order
as a bOOtmaker makes boots.
I dread the losing hold of forms.
There must be forms, yet 1 hate the
need for so many sects and separate
services.
To decry one original poet in order to
magnify another is like despising an
oak tree because you prefer beech,
and almost as sensible.
Vice sometimes appears to me as the
shadow of 1dleness. do not feel nor
rOr when I see sin and misery, but
shame for the sake of God.
All the magazines and daily newspa-
pers which pOunce upon everything
they can get hold of demoralize lit
erature. This age gives an author no
time to mature his works.
The higher moral imagination en-
shaved to sense is like an eagle caught
by the feet in a snare, baited with car
rion, so that it cannot use its wings to
soar.
The report that I dislike Americans
is wholly without foundation, though it
is true that 1 have protested against
the manner in which some of the
American publishers have pilfered my
work.
The power of practical creation seems
to be utterly ignored now. This mod
ern realism is hateful and destroys all
poetry. No man with an Imagination
can be tied down for his ideal.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Chief Moore of
the United States weather bureau, in his
annual report to Secretary Wilson, calls
for an appropriation of S1,044,050 for the
next fiscal year, and says this will admit
of the establishment and equipment of

TO WORK CULM BANKS.
Millions of Tons of Coal to be Re
claimed in Pennsylvania

Reading, Pa, Oct. 3O.-Nillions of tons
of coal which have been lying for years
beneath the numerous culm banks in
Schuylkiu county are now being reclaim
ed, owing to cheaper rates of transporta-
ton.
At one colliery alone. the Old Girard,
there is an immense culm bank covering
acres and acres of ground, and from forty
to hundred feet high. The war coming
on about the time of the starting of this
coIliery, a great demand sprang up for
the larger sizes of coal, and as the ac-
cumulation of smaller sizes proved
source of annoyance to the operators,
thousands of tons were carried to this
dumping ground, where it now lies buried
beneath thousands of tons of culm, slate
and rock.
