HEAD SOLID SORE Awful Suffering of Baby and
 Sleepless Nights OG : -.. .. Mother. Another Wonderful Cure
 by CutlcuTa.

"T herewith write out in full the be- ginning and end of that terrible disease Eczema, which caused my babe untold suffering and myself many slsepless nights.
 "My baby was born seemingly fair, healthy child, but when she was three weeks old a swelling appeared on the back of her head, and in course of time broke. It did not heal but grew worse, and the sore spread from the size of c dime to that of e dollar. used all kinds of remedies that could think of, but nothing seemed to help; in fact, it grew worse. Her hair fell out where the sore was, and feared it would never grow again. It continued until my aged father came on 6 visit, and when he saw the baby he told me to get Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment right away
 "To please him did 90, and to my surprise by their use the sore began to heal over, the hair grew over 1t, and to-day she has 6 nice head of hair, her skin Is as fair aS lily, and she has no scar left to recall that awful sore, and 1t is over eight months and no sign of 1t returning"

DEFENSE OF THE LOBSTER.
Prcpisition to Preserve Adults anC
 Market the "Chicken."


 Market the "Chicken."
 At last the friends of the lobster have arisen in their might. From the throatS of epicuEes. hotel proprietors, actors, walters and matinee girls the cry has gone up: Save the lobster" And right nobly has science answered the call. New England scientists are soon to call a con- ference with the object of discussing ways and means to prevent the-extinction of the lobster industry, says The Washing ton Times. One of the most remarkable features will be a plan to alter the laws so that chicken Holsters may be freely taken but the adult crustaceans pre- served. At present the thing works in just the opposite way, and a man found with lubster under nine inches long Is liable to heavy fines. It makes no dif-, ference how one gets the baby hcrueta- cean. If you have been unfortunate enough to patronize an unscrupulous deal- CT and he has told you that the younRster was of legal age, that will not lessen your individual guilt, in the eyes of the law.
 There was great consternation among wholesale dealers on this account when the law first took effect They feared that in the rush to supply the markets a great many fishermen would ship lobsters of too tender age and the risk of detection and punishment would be wholly with the recipient So they sent out food of lets ters to all the men from whom they ex- pected consignments, tnplorlng them to

In fact. if more than this number could be reared and none were killed for consumption 1t would mean a decided gain. ,

 The Montgomery Advertiser goes into an elaborate defense of the political career The Mobile Herald. The Advertiser or makes ai ea' mistake. Judge Jones's career is well- known, and the explanation of several people do not like those facts. and people construe them differently, but we do not think they are misunderstood. Judge Jones has enemies and he has friends and they insist on seeing different meanings in the events in his history.
 Men remember that Fourth of July in- cident. It has been told many times. and the party and the people have elected Judge Jones to office since then. In two instances the whole State elected him. and in the others the, county of Mont ther defense. but men may still express adverse opinions of the incident.
 The nomination of Judge Jones for Gov
 niliar to more people. The people of tho State endorsed the nomination, and that settled that incident. but 1t did not and will not make all men think alike about 1t. Discussion of it has never done more than bring out arguments.
 Judge Jones's course in the Constitu- tional Convention is fresh in the memory of all the State. It was not only publish ed at the time, but was so widely com mented on that 1t attraced national aten-
 The appointedment to the district bench by the President was also widely dis cussed and unanimously approved by the people of the State. The Influences that jects for speculation and discussion.
 The Ledger sees no good in going into a full discussion and explanation of Judge Jones's side of those incidents. It is not the facts that are in dispute. but the con struction put upon them by friends and unfriends. That can never be settled by discussion. It is wasting time to try to make all the ndnula think alfkQ a1NOlif those four events in the life of Judge Jones.

WHY WOMEN DO NOT FISH.
It is Not Because They Do Not Want
 fa

70.
 Justina Johnson in August Outing.
 How does it happen that the fisher mans mantle never falls on the woman of the house? Investigators claim that the daughter is more likely to inherit the fathers qualities than Is the son. We all know that with other taints and tendencies-tendencies that cause, alas, suffering, shame. disease, disgrace, death mature is not so lenient. Women come in for their full share of the visitation for the sins of their fathers, and there are no physical traits or peculiarties that may not descend in the same way. It seems to me a trifie hard when 1t comes to the one inheritance that yields such absolute enjoyment. they should be so mercilessly cut out.
 ,r do not believe they are cut out, ex- cept by artificial reason. believe the daughter Is born with the same devo- ton to the stream. the woods, the open air, the blue sky, the same intolerance of restraint, the same periodical longing to be away, with the same shillful hands and uncanny brain that her father had before her, and that her brothers are en- couraged to indulge.
 Custom, however, has put a broom in her hands, a needle in her fingers. long skirts that bind her liberty, and the cry of duty and decorum in her ears,

Woman's Early Morning Seance With
 Roomful of Crustaceans. 2iverhead U. I) Special to Brooklyn
 An elderly woman of this place had an amusing and rather exciting experience with "a passel O crabs" yesterday morning.
 Two young people of the household went ''fire-lighting'' for crabs the night before and got a large basket full of very large ones and one eel. The elderly woman was sleeping when the crabbers returned, and unbeknown to her the crabs were left in a basket in the kitchen sink. During the night the crabs started out on a tour of the house. crawling from the basket to the sink and falling from that to the floor
 Early in the morning the woman thought she heard strange noises down staris. and thinking of burglars she started below without stopping to dress. At the foot of the stairs she encountered the first burglar-a big crab. braced back, with claws spread wide, evidently waiting for bare toe. Other crabs were seen hastening across the sitting room to the scene of the disturbance.
 Daughter. bring me my shoes!"' was the command from below, In an excited tone. This house is full of crabs. How in the world did they get here?"
 The shoes and other articles of appa- rel were procured and donned. and the elderly woman passed from the sitting room to the dining rooms amid a clashing of raised claws. Explanations had been made as to where the crabs came from, and a search was made with a pair of Eongs in an attempt to round up the wandering ones.
 Crabs were under the stove in the Kitchen, in a down stairs bed room, in the sitting and dining rooms, in the hall, and in the most peculiar and out of the way places imaginable. Great excite ment prevailed during the time they were being caught and placed in an iron ket- ele.
 One was not found for some time after ward. A scratching noise beneath a chair in which one of the household was sitting sent the occupant scurrying fast pr than the thought of a mouse could have done. It was believed that there was an odd number of crabs in the bas- ket. but an even number only could be found. Now when one of the women wishes to sit down anywhere in the house the chair is carefully looked over and. under and the cushion vigorously shaken, to make sure that the lost one Is not lurking ready to establish an Darly spring in the middle of summer.

In the competition drills of the same battery, the result was as follows: For sergeants, H. R. Mcdonald; Corporals, Townsend Miles: Privates, Collier. The second gun detachment won the com pany medal.
 Musician George Hodge. of Battery c, was complimented on all sides for his efficient work with his bugle during camps. Sergeants Darlington, sCrenshaw and Stewart, of Battery A, were general favorites with all.
 Captains Eddy and Smith. of Batteries and D, were well pleased with the con: duct of their men during the encamp- ment.
 Private Wildburgur, of Battery A, who was held in confinement on several charges of breach of discipline, and who had been in the guardhouse twenty-four hours, was the butt of a great joke at sunrise this morning. His grayegt ,of- fense had been deserting his post while on guard duty. Late in the night a de- tail went to the guardhouse. and with a bogus order read same to him, pronounc- ing him guilty and ordering "that hB be shot at sunrise" Wildburgur confessed his guilt, said he had done wrong, and would die like a soldier. At sunrise he was marched to the flagstaff and blind folded. He requested not to be bound. He bade farewell to all and backed against the pole and said he was ready. The blank cartridge failed to explode and he was released mid the cheers of his comrades.
