A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How a euro
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula On his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his ckin, although the sores
on his checks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form % red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. Alter disappearing
they would break out aga;E. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to ,seep 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 Sarsaperilla. We decided to give
1t to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods SarsapariiIa
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

What a Farmer Can Do.

He can raise from 200 to 500
bushels of sweet potatoes or from
100 to 400 bushels of Irish pota-
toes to the acre, and for $50 he
can build a house that will keep
them the year round.
He can plant one acre to arti-
chokes and fatten fifty hogs on
them; the hogs can do their own
digging and waste nothing.
He can raise all kinds of stock
100 per cent cheaper than it can
be done further north.
He will not have to fertilize his
land to make it yield a good har-
vest, although here as elsewhere,
judicious fertilizing generally pays.
He can run a farm without a
mortgage on it.
He can raise finer fruit, great
er variety and more of it than any
other country in the world.
He can have vegetables on his
table the year round.
He can plant one acre in cane
and make 200 gallons of beautiful,
clear syrup, with no sorghum
twang to it.
Bees require no attention fur
Their than taking what honey you
wish.
Wet land sown in red top forms
an everlasting meadow of the f.
nest hay in the world.
One bale of cotton is the aver
age yield, although one and a half
bales per acre is not all uncommon
crop.
There has never been a total
failure of crops since the war, and
but few partial ones.
One hundred peach trees can be
planted to the acre, and three to
five bushels of choice fruit per
tree can be counted on after the
third year. Cotton Belt.

FAMOUS YAQUI COUNTRY PENETRA-
TED BY TWO GENTLEMEN OF
Ell PASO.

of remarkable gold discovery In
the "Yaqui Country" in Mexico,
which, if true, and there isNeyery
reason to believe it is, bids fair to
rival Klondike in richness. III
One feature that will be in favor
of the new Ell Dorado is the fact
that the climate is not severe, is
in fact temperate, and compare
lively within easy distance OF
reaching.
The two gentlemen referred to
above are Messrs ]. I. Borden and
L. H. Gasser, of Ell Paso. Mr..
Borden, speaking of the affair,
says the Ell PAso tanner, relates
the following:
II started on my prospecting
trip last October and put in most
of my time prospecting on the
Arcs river, or more particularly
on four of the tributary gulches
leading into the Aros, and found
gold in all of them. However,
they are all dry gulches, except
for few months in the. year, and
consequently cannot be worked
successfully by the ordinary pros
pector, QUILTED with only his gold
pan. :.
Il went over to Guaynopa and
found some old workings there
yet show very rich ore, and ruins
of ancient buildings; but some
Mormons showed up with papers
containing evidence of their own
ership, which 1, of course, respec-
ted.
"While at Guaynopa l found a
five-foot ledge of copper ore that
will average high; but l found it
was on a forty-mile square miner
al zone that was recently taken
out at the mineral Office, SO left it
without doing any work on it.
However, the zone has expired and
under the new law it cannot be
renewed and 1 will locate it while
on my way south next month.
"Mr. Gasser Joined me at Guer-
zero last January. We got good
outfits and returned to the head
waters of the Yaqui.
I'm one of the gulches tributary
to the Yaqui we found this coarse
gold that we have. We walked
about five hours day for three
days in getting this out. Of
course, this is not all we took out.
One nugget was valued at $500
and two others valued at $500
each. This gulch is about two
miles long and creek runs from
the top, where there are several
springs, to the tributary of the
Yaqui river below. The tributary
is called the Tutwacque river. We
found quartz sticking to the gold
and the gold itself shows that it
has not been in the creek very
long, because it is not much worn
and rounded, which was an evil
dence to us that the ledge was
very close by, further up the
gulch.
I'VE spent more than q week
looking for the ledge and found
three of them, which showed them
rich in the pan. We quickly set
out for Guerrero to denounce the
ground, and after carefully ex-
planning its situation to the mine
raj agent there, he informed us
that it was covered by a zone and
that two claims had been located
on the lodges we had prospscted.
However, the claims are not loca-

SPEAKING PASSING SHIPS.
New Efforts to Revive Old Time Courte
sizes at Sea.

New Efforts to Revive Old Time COurte-
sizes at Sea.
The fine old custom of speaking pass
ing ships is rapidly dying out among
the shippers of today, and the general
opinion seems to he that the modern
master is, as a rule, too easy going to
bother about anything of the sort.
Colonel Hozier, the secretary Of
Lloyds, considers that a deal of trouble
and anxiety would often be avoided if
captains would but take the trouble TO
speak ships within reading distance Of
their signals. In many instances anxiety
with respect to overdue vessels would
be allayed, and, furthermore, there
would continually be news for the
friends Of masters and for the hundreds
of thousands Of others who are interest
ed in the great merchant marine of this
country.
Chatting the matter over, Captain
Froud, the secretary of the Shipmasters'
society, said: 1.-The practice of speaking
each other at sea and reporting at every
opportunity is, am sorry to say, dying
out among the captains Cf the present
day. l suppose they are Indifferent, or
careless, and do not consider it worth
the trouble CT hosting the signals and
making out the other fellows 1t is a
very great pity that an exceedingly use
full custom should be neglected, and
am glad to learn that Colonel Hozier is
doing his utmost to induce masters to
speak other ships and to report when
ever it is possible.
q am convinced that if captains can
be persuaded to take the trouble to do
this much good service VIII be rendered
TO the public generally. This society Is
doing its utmost to set masters to re
vive the practice"
Captain Froud's appeal was strength
ened by the picturesque evidence Of az
old time skipper, who admitted that
speaking and signaling had been almost
entirely neglected Of late years. "When
/ first went to sea-, he said, cit was
the invariable custom TO exchange names
and destinations and sometimes reckon
ings with passing ships, but nowadays
captains don't bother. Sometimes a
skipper is short handed and he won {
take even one man from his work, but
mostly he doesn't bother himself about
the thing at all. That's my experience,
and I've been at the game a week or
two. London Mail.
