Boomerangs Not New.

The Australian aborigines are not the
only users of the boomerang. nor were
hey the first to use that missile. The
Egyptians knew all about it, just as
they seem to have known all about ev-
erything else. At the present day the
boomerang is used by some American
Indian tribes and by the Dravidian
races Of the Indian peninsula. The
Missile used by the last named differs
in that it is thicker than the usual
form and does not return to the throw
er. The return Of the boomerang is
due to the action of the wind. the
shape of the weapon and the manner
in which it is thrown.

ITCH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in-
fam1nation; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fssured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains In the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

One cold, wet and windy night he

ering under the arch which spans the
high road, over which the railway runs
at Shillingstone, his parish. Wonder
ing what the man could be doing,
standing on a cold, wet night in the

the rector said:

their numbers become beyond human
comprehension, destroying the struct-
ures of the body until death comes to
the victims relief. "5 DROPS,''if taken
in time, is an absolute preventive Of

for rheumatism, driving out of the

my hands were drawn SO 1 could not
open them, nor could 1 shut them.
They cramped half shut. My husband
had me try every medicine he could
hear of and still suffered untold ag-
anies. Nothing I could get could ease
my pain, until last November one Of
my neighbors had rheumatism SO bad
he could not walk. He told my hus-
band about''5 Drops curing him, SO he
got me a dollar bottle, and in three
weeks I walked without a cane and
could use my hands. something I had
not done for two years. I give all the
praise to "5Drops'' My neighbors know
that I was at deaths door. Now /

The Earth Star.


Earth stars are members Of the plant
kingdom and are closely related to the
puff-balls with which all country boys and
girls and all frequenters of the woods ara
familiar; they ripen their spores of puff
ball seed In round brown balls as the Duff
balls do but are unique in their wonder
full manner OF scattering their spores. For
this purpose the plant develops q tough
outer coat to the ball. which on a damp
day. when the spores are ripe, sweils I'M.
splits and rolls back from the summit To
the base to form star about the ball The
round ball at the center OF the star then
opens at its summit and waits quietly for
fair weather favorable for travelling. The
first day after these preparations the earth
star breaks it's connections with the nart
Of the plant which Is In the ground. and
which up to this time has fed and nour-
ished it and held 1t firmly In the ground
curls mp the rays Of the star over the
pun ball and lets the wind roll it over the
fields and wherever 1t will, while It puts
out the spores and scatters them far and
wide. Some observers have stated that
when the dews Of evening fall the plant un-
rolls the star points until they again lie
fiat on the ground. and firmly anchor the
bali where 1t may rest until another fair
day comes round In which. in company
with the wind. 1t may resume its travels.
The earth stars are not common but still
one on the alert may expect to find them
on damp wood roads. and win be well re-
warded IL he takes one home to watch the
rays of the star curl and uneurl when sub
5ected alternately to dry and moist air.
