Preventing Pit MarkH.

In an article printed in the TOLEDO
Medical Compend physician has this
to say:
SMALLPOX pitting can be prevented
by applying to the face antiseptic rem
edies, and | think the most suitable Is
one that is made Of ozone and glycerin.
The glycerin has the body to hold the
ozone and also, being such a very
heavy liquid, enables it to be worked
into the pores Of the skin and to check
Preventative processes that make up
large part of the liberation. II this
fermentation, which is a part OF the ul-
cerative process, can be stopped, then
pitting can be prevented. The less the
liberation the less the pitting. If the
liberation can be entirely prevented,
there will be only an exterior scab,
which leaves no pit.
"The trouble with grease or oint-
ments. which are sometimes applied to
the face, is that they are not true anti
septics and have no chemical influence
to stop the liberation. While they less
en- the friction and therefore are sooth-
Ing, they do not check the fermentation
process Of the ulcer. What is wanted
is a true antiseptic that will control
and stop the chemical ferment.
"The treatment l have indicated
should be repeated daily. II that Is
done, there will be no pitting. This pit
ting is the worst feature Of smallpox.
The deaths from the disease have nev-
er been so numerous as is popularity
supposed, but the evil Of pitting can
hardly be oSerestimated. 1t is not only
an embarrassment; it is a great In.
tury."

The Queen and Jenny Lind.

There is pretty story told Of Queen
Victoria and Jenny Lind which shows
how the modesty Of two women, the
queen Of England and the queen Of
song, caused momentary awkward
ness which the gentle tact Of the singer
overcame.
1t was on night when Jenny Lind
was to sing at Her Majesty's Opera
House that the queen made her first
public appearance after the memorable
Chartist day.
For the great artist, too, this was q
first appearance, for it was the begin
ming Of her season at place where the
year before she had won unparalleled
fame. 1t happened that the queen en-
tered the royal box at the same mo-
ment that the prima donna stepped up
on the stage. Instantly tumult Of ac-
clamation burst forth.
Jenny Lind modestly retired to the
back Of the stage, waiting till the DEM
onstration Of loyalty to the sovereign
should subside. The queen, refusing to
appropriate to herself that which she
imagined to be intended for the artist,
made no acknowledgment.
At length, when the situation became
embarrassing, Jenny Lind, with ready
tact, ran forward to the footlights and
sang "God Save the Queen" which
was caught up at the end Of the solo by
the orchestra, chorus and audience.
The queen then came to the front Of
her box and bowed, and the opera was
resumed.

rhe simplicity Of childhood.

The Troy Times tells Of a group Of
little children who found q wounded
bird with its tail feathers shot away
or plucked out in some manner and
disputed among themselves as to what
should be done with the poor little
thing. Some Of them wanted to take 1t
home and put 1t in cage; others were
for releasing 1t and letting 1t fly away.
1T can't fy," said one. 1T has no
tail"
"You don't have to have tail to fy."

"No, you don't. Angels have no tails,
and they,can fly"

and said, Johnny, aren't you ashamed
to talk about Gods servants In that

A Blind Sale.

An exchange tells Of a novel plan
adopted by an English hostess to se-
cure funds for charity in which she
was interested. She gave dance, in
PRODUCING In the cotillon an auction
figure. In this the favors were for sale.
A table was spread with them, from
which selections were made. After
the choice the purchaser found the
price affixed on the reverse side. This
might be penny or pound, the limit
of cost, and was set without any regard
to the apparent value Of the article to
which 1t was attached. The most tri-
ding article perhaps had the topmost
mark, and vice versa, making choice 30
far as price was concerned pure

RARE COMBINATION.
The Floral and Electrical Display q
tho PAM A mn erIcau ExuosftiOn.

The Floral and Electrical Display 1t
the Pan-American Exposition.
There is saying that "Flowers are
the poetry of earth, as stars are the
poetry Of heaven" II this be true, the
beauty of the floral effects to be seen
at the Pan-American Exposition will be
pronounced as q rare combination Of
both, for never yet at an exposition
have such magnificent effects been
seen as will be visible in some OF the
fountain basins at the Pan-American.
There beautiful plants and flowers,
kissed to a state Of dewy dazzlement
by the falling spray and the glow Of
concealed incandescent lamps, will de-
light the visitor.
At the exposition in Omaha some
little success was obtained In thus
lighting up the flowers and the foliage
of plants in the water basins, and this
has led Henry e. Rustin, chief Of the
mechanical and electrical bureau, to at
tempt to enlarge upon what he accom-
plished in Omaha. When thus lighted,
the flowers and plants take upon them
selves new colors, each one seemingly
more beautiful than the color displayed
under full sunlight. Then the little
mystery Of where the illumination
comes from Is delightful. and, knowing
this, the skilled electrician is most care
full to conceal his lamps where least
likely to attract the eye. Perhaps an
artificial leaf, an artificial flower, Is
used TO hide the lamp. but Its full bril-
liancy is allowed to beam upon the
plant and flowers, making picture
that Is lasting. 1t is when such effects
are obtained that the full appreciation
Of enjoyment is expressed in the single
word beautiful" 1t was so at Omaha,
and 1t will be more so at the Pan
American.

Venetian Beautie. and Their Hair.

II we turn to the great Venetian
school, we find very magnificent type
Of beauty of the robust and somewhat
sensual order. Titian's Flora" might
be a somewhat feshy sister Of the
Venus of Milo" We can only guess at
the coloring of their goddesses, but We
gather from the poets that they were
fair haired. 1t IS odd how persistently
the supreme ideal Of female beauty Is
fair.
There are many very beautiful dark
women I'm the world, and certainly In
Venice the prevailing type must have
been then, as 1t Is now, dark haired.
But these splendid brunettes we've not
satisfied with their natural beauties.
They sat In the fierce Venetian sun
with their raven locks spread out over
the brim Of an enormous crownless hat
until they bleached them with the aid
of various cunning unguents to the
beautiful red gold color so beloved OF
the painters and probably got frightful
headaches In the process, which Is an
example Of how women somehow OF
other manage to conform to their
ideals.
Well, 1t is a very lovely ideal, and I
am inclined to agree with them that II
nature did not give them hair like that
It was their sacred duty to improve up
on nature.-John Collier in Nineteenth
Century.

Why Roads Are Crooked In China.


The Chinese road is private property,
strip taken from somebody's land.
This Is done much against the will of
the owner, since he not only loses the
use Of it, but also still has to pay taxes
on it.
One consequence Is that 1t is wide
enough for only one vehicle, and carts
can pass one another only by trespass-
ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
this the farmers dig deep bitches by
the roadside. AS the surface wears
away and the dust blows of it gradu-
ally grows lower, and after awhile 1t
becomes a drain for the surrounding
fields. A current forms in the rainy
season, which still further hollows 1t
out, and thus has arisen the prOverb
that q road thousand years old be-
comes river.
Those whose lands are used for roads
naturally prefer to have the roads run
along the edge Of their farms instead
Of cutting across them, and this ac-
counts for the fact that Chinese roads
are often so crooked that one may
have to go a considerable distance to
reach a place that Is in reality but a
few miles away. This always interests
the stranger.-Church Eclectic.

FARM NOTES.

The time and place to salt butter Is In
the churn when the butter Is IN well
washed granules and rather wet.
Plant trees. Whether In city or cOun-
try trees add immeasurably to the
beauty and value Of the dwelling place.
Even otherwise barren wastes can be
beautified with trees. Where the soil Is
largely sand and barren, holes may be
dug and filled with good soil. In these
NAV be placed the trees. Proper care
will insure good growth and develop
ment.
The sheep exporters have been pre-
vented from operating as freely as they
do under ordinary conditions, owing to
the lack of ocean space. Several large
exporters of sheep have been grievousiy
disappointed In not getting the space
thew expected, aud therefore have kept
out of the market. 1t Is believed that
the demand on export account will De
more urgent from now on.
Predatory insects are generally the
friends of the farmers. Some have asked
che question II, when we spray with
Paris green we do not kill a good many
of our friends? The answer is that the
Paris green kills only when the foliage
ia eaten by the insect. The predatory
insect does not eat the foliage; but he
NAV sometimes be killed by eating the
insect that has eaten the foliage.
All honor to Maine butter! Who says
that Maine is not making as good but

Thirty. five tubs were In the class, and

A LARGE CORN AREA AND BETTER
TlllAGE NEEDED.

A LARGE CORN AREA AND ETTER
TlLlAGE NEEDED.
In portions OF New England during
the past two seasons farm crops have
suffered more or less from protracted
drouths, which have more seriously
affected the grass crop, which is the
great fodder crop of this section Of the
country, and as result hay will prob
ably be fed closer this spring than for
many years. While there will be enough
to go round, many farmers will be
obliged to buy of their neighbors, and
paw more for it than they can realize
from it on the growth of stock while
feeding it. In other words, they will
feed it at loss.
In order to keep on the right side Of
the ledger, the average New England
farmer finds that his cash outlay for
feeds and fertilizers must be kept at
minimum. Very many farmers find it
economical to buy both feed and fertil-
izers, but large proportion of farmers
are not economical in these matters. 1t
doesn't pay for dairy farmer to let the
bills for hay, grain and fertilizers offset
the creamery checks, much less to run in
debt for any of these commodities.
Now is the time to lay plans for the
future and calculate on probabilities.
Drouths may or may not prevail the
coming season. FrOsts and other cli-
matte conditions may or may not injure
crops, but il is always safe to guard
against these conditions so far as may
be.
Fortunately the silo has become as the
farmers best friend. With 1t he can
insure himself against short hay crop
and keep his stock in better condition
than with full hay crop and no silo.
While severe drouth may affect the
corn crop, it will have less effect on 1t
than on any other farm crop. In the
cultivation of this crop it is possible for
the farmer largely to overcome the
effects of drouth by thorough tillage.
Thorough tillage not only conserves the
moisture of the soil, but it adds greatly
to the value of the crop.
New England wants more silos, a
larger corn area and better tillage, to
enable her TO overcome drouths, and to
make her more independent of the west,
and of the fertilizer trusts. The silos
will furnish feed for larger amount of
stock, and more stock will make more
home fertilizers for the land.-New Eng
land Farmer.
