e A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors - How a 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.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
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 Sarsaparilla. 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 Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned

can not be expected TO be much
above the Spaniards who have
been their masters and prosecutors
for centuries. They have been
treated as wild beasts and Ey a
soldiery the rank and file of which
is little, if anything, above wild
beasts. They have been given no
quarter and they have given no
quarter. When the Cubans were
overpowered by the Spaniards
they were exterminated with a
cruel and merciless bIood.thirsti.
ness found only in the middle ages.
When the Spaniards succumbed to
the Cubans, death by mutilatlon
and the machette was their portion.
After years of such cruel butcher
les, it is small wonder that the
Cubans should fail to fully realize
the meaning of civilized warfare.
1t is impossible for them to ccn-
ceive of any one having the power
to kill a Spaniard without instantly
and rancorously exercising that
power. 1t is something which
they never saw and perhaps never
heard of. The Spanish soldiers
who should be more enlightened
believed that they would be massa.
cred by the American hands.
Thousands Of them believe so vet.

The world, the flesh and the devil

facturers. And pretty restless, crit
ical crowd of customers tLey are. For
them, makers of lasts rack their brains
for change and novelty of style; and

These shoes, as a rule. are of black

to avoid any squcaking. The side
stays are strictly simple, and the lin

The soles are not rights" and
"lefts;" they are all of the same
shape. so that the shoes. which are
roomy and large, can be worn on
either foot. This is valuable accom-
mediation for nurses, who are liable
to be suddenly aroused to attend sick

These comfort" shoes are all that
is claimed for them. and are equally
popular among those who attend the
sick or devote themselves to charity
or religion.

He was a fearful chewer and used to raise

ness that has characterized him % a
remarkable degree this year, and is
resumng his character as the most dis
tinguished opponent an angler can find
in this section of the country. Taken
pound for pound, the Potomac bass will
give more sport for weight than any
other game fish except the ouiananiche
the winanish of the far northern wa
tiers. When he is at mis- kiugly pro-
portions, between two and three pounds
in weight, he IS unequaled in his sub
tie cunning. He is a Napoleon In STRAIT
egy, a Bismarck in determination. The
real angler who strikes such fish ex-
periences emotions that can never be
described The maiden listening TO
the lutte of her lover, the miser count
ing his gold, may feel delightful sensa-
tions, and undergo divine spells; but
the fisherman with d 2R-pound bass at
the erd Of his line knows an eNaltation
that s supreme. To the uniuitiated the
foregoing probably sounds like bal
ierdash, but the angler knows that it
S not overdrawn.
Few Of the bass fishermen have en-
+ IONt sum CNStuSA AAtS year hh az lG-
GENTLY, however, because the fish has
been shy Of his usual haunts. Old riv-
.rmen declare that the big bass had
gone into deep water. to purge their
system after enforced idleness Of the
spawning season, and that the chilly
water had retarded their return from
their annual pilgrimage. Wait till
ne have half a dozen rea' hot days"
they said. aud then the bass would
come back in good condition. Events
of the past two weeks have proved
that as far as the bass returning TO
their usual haunts was concerned, the
old fishermen were right.
1t requires ar expert fisherman to fish
with live minnow in shadows; but for
the fly fisherman. or one who uses a
spoon, it is appetizing TO find the bass
frequenting them. The Fourth OF July
found big crowds of anglers up the
river, and again the record showed that
the water from Harper's Ferry down to
about Georgetown was the favored run
/ for bass in the Potomac.

waters of the woods can understand the
fearful weight ard strength of their
currents. They plunge over rapids
and thunder through canyons, and leap
and bound and roar and swirl and boil
and bubble, spin madly round and
round, dash in impotent rage against
rocks that have withstood their as
saults for aeons. howl by the bases of
precipices, and chant songs of fear. The
ouinananiche is an athlete by nature
and continuous training. He has to be.
Anatomieally he is not to be distin-
guished from the sea-going salmon.
Comparatively he is dwarf but at tho
end of 200 feet of line he weighs a thou
sand active, plungirg, vicious pounds.
For to his credit De it said he is the
very gamest fish that cuts fresh water.
To seize his prey with magnificent
rush, and to fight until the strong
heart futters, and the eye dims, and
the plant muscles can no longer obey,
is all of his philosophy and his life,
His heroism is his requiem.
The Potomac bass is like unto him.
The Canadian and the Yankee fish are
rivals in pluck and gameness. The lit
tie fellows who CLINT and simmer
through the waters of the Potomac are
also hardy athletes. They climb falls,
shoot rapids, burrow and delve, dig and
fight for their livings; and they never
give up their lives without making man
feel that be has met foe strong enough
to give him struggle of the most eX-
citing character
Col Dick Bright, for many years SER
geant-at-arms of the senate, gave sem
ators many an hours pleasure, by lead
ing them to the best fishing grounds.
He is natural entertainer, and is fond
of sport himself. During his five
years in charge of the senate, and of
the comfort of the senators, Col. Bright
escorted Senator Hawley, of Conuecti-
cut; Senator Gear, of Iowa; Senator
Hill, of New York; Senator White, of
California, and many others of like
standing, to the best Potomac fishing
places; and they have been benefited
by their outings on every occasion.
The colonel was always careful to
have Appoliuaris water in plenty, boxes
of cigars of all brands, some pipes and
smoking tobacco, and good boatmen.
He also took care to have plenty of
bait. What more could a sporting fish
erman want?
Why the fish are alleged to bite bet
ter on Sunday than any other day is
matter of philosophy rather than of
narration, and the reader must settle
that matter, one way or another, for
himself. One thing is certain, however,
at least in these parts, and that is that
there is great deal of Sunday fishing
done by people in all the walks of life.
If that be a sin, it is one for which
your correspondent will not be called
to account. SMITH D. Fry.

At the New Jersey experiment station
observation was taken as TO the value of
shading plants in time of drought.
Onions suffered severely, and there was
no apparent advantage in shading. Cab
bage did not suffer much. Turnips were
badly dried up in foliage by the lack Of
water, and the plants under the shade
kept fresh with increased development
of leaves. Beets wilted early in the day
and remained in a dropping condition
until revived the following night. The
shade favored the plants, as shown by
their larger size. Carrots were in a
comparatively moist place and did not
feel the drought. The shaded plants
were somewhat larger in foliage, how
ever, than elsewhere. Radishes wilted
badly.

FIGHTING THE SCALES.
Parasites Do an Enormous Damage
60 the Trees and Fruit Crops
of the United States.

1t is estimated that the scales do an
enormous damage to the trees and crops
of this country, and while the San Jose
scale seems to attract some attention
II is not by any means the only injurious
insect of this class. There are proba-
bly, dozen very active and pernicious
scales found in the orchards of this
country. All of them DO more or less
damage, and the question of destroying
them is annually becoming a more i'm
portaut one. The department of agri-
culture has made special inquiries and
investigations into the subject Of
checking their ravages, and since the
German authorities made such a dis
turbance about not admitting our APP
plies because of the scales on them the
subject will assume even more prom
inence the coming season.
Some interesting experiments have
been made to destroy the scales, and
next summer we are likely to reap some
benefit from them. Whale-oil soap has
been said to destroy them, but it must
be admitted now that this merely
checks the scales and does not destroy
them. Moreover, it takes nearly as
much whale-oil to check the scales as
the crop of fruits is worth. In one or
chard in Maryland it took 5000 worth
of whale-oil soap to hold the San Jose
scale in check.
The real remedy promised is found
In hydrocynic gas, gas that is SO
searching and penetrating that when
applied to the trees hardly a scale es-
capes. 1t is death to every form of life
and not expensive. The method Of ap-
plication is to place tents or coverings,
double oiled, over the trees, and then
liberate the gas under them. The re-
suits so far are very encouraging, for
nearly every scale was killed on the
trees so treated,-W. L. Farmer, in
Wisconsin Agriculturist.
