Asheville, N. c., Jan. 1.-The village of

be the site of the Cherokee Tanning
Extract Company. This plant will con-
sist of four buildings 4Ox120 feet, two Of
which will be two stories high. Ten 125
horse power boilers will be required to
bleach or boil the pulp out of which
the extract will be made.
Chestnut and chestnut oak wood will

plant eight car loads of wood will be con-
sumed every day.
When it is in full operation 60 hands
will be employed exclusive of the hands
engaged in getting out and shipping the
wood, which will employ at least IS addi-
tional men and a large number of teams.
Work will begin at once on the build
ings. About 30 substantial dwelling
houses will soon be erected here to be
occupied by the operators. of these ex-
tract works.
This enterprise is backed by men of
ample means and some of them are eX-

Speedily Cured by Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills
When the Best Physicians and
All Else Fail.

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as n eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled
head; the facial disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringworm the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety Of worm
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt rheum,- all demand a remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers and humour
remedies of the civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales, and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura ONT
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take the Cuticura Resolyent
Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete treatment, costing but
one dollar, affords instant relief, per-
mits rest and sleep in the severest
forms of eczema and other itching,
burning and scaly humours of the skin,
scalp and blood, and points to speedy,
permanent and economical cure when
all other remedies and the best physi-
clans fail.

in the same. place had soothed his con-
science with a poultice, so Agrippa
parted his with a Jest.
AT the third angle, as glorious rep
resentative of Christianity, stood
Paul, two years nearer his coronation
than when he last occupied such a
position. Paul might have sulked in
his cell. Agrippa had no jurisdiction.
The case was already appealed, 1t
could never be tried again save in
Caesars court. Paul might have
shown his pique at Festus's tardiness
in acquitting prisoner whose en-
emies had not been able to gather any
evidence against him in the two years
of his illegal imprisonment. Had
Paul taken this fact, in which he
would have been entirely justified I'M
der the circumstances, the snowy
drawing-roOm audience which Festus
had planned for the amusement of his
royal guests may have been Hamlet
with Hamlet left out"
But Festus had counted not in vain
upon the Ingenious character of his
captive. Paul promptly appeared
when summoned. He recognized this
as one of the opportunities which the
sanity Ananias had assured him he
should have of bearing the Lords
name before kings. He was not for
dazhed by his splendid and numerous
auditory or the disadvantageous cir
cumstances under which he appeared
before it. He saw in Agrippa, with
all his regal state, and Bernice, whose
charms neither Titus nor Vespasian
could resist, the children of one God
who, hard by the very place where he
stood, was smitten of God and eaten
by worms. These pompous inanities
ofreflected power were all uncovered
to the practiced eye of Paul. Adying
man, he addressed dying men.
THE TEACHERS LANTERN
Paul did his utmost for Festus and
those whom he repre- sented He set
forth astonishing truths in such an
astonishing manner as to draw from
the lips of the pro curator loud cry
like that of the centurion at the cru
cifiXion, only not so candid-an ejacu-
lation which checked the majestic
stream of the apostles eloquence, but
did not otherwise ruffle his exquisite
courtesy"
But the ambas sador in chains ad-
dressed himself chiefly to Agrippa,
whom he recognized as the official
representative of his loved nation.
He was consciously besring his last
testimony on the soil of the Holy
Land. 1t was a swan-song, the last
recorded address of Paul. In it he
poured out his hearts desire and
prayer that lsarel might be saved.
So effective was he that his kingly
nearer had to conceal his inward
emotion with form of pleasantly
and hastily prorogue the mimic par
lament.
Both Festus and Agrippa, unlike
Paul, were disobedient to the heaven
ly vision they had that day. But its
influence followed them. By reason
of it the procurator, with the kings
help probably, so drafted the official
statement of the case to the emperor,
that when it was reached in it's turn
on the long docket of Nero's court
Paul was instantly acquitted and
came down from the Golden House
on the Palatine a free man once more,
after four years of unjust imprison-
ment.
The influence of Paul's plea on
Agrippa is apparent in the kings
pronounced bias toward Christianity.
and his kindness to the, Christians
during the siege of Jerusalem.
