and half south of Mortified, derail-
ing the enigne and three cars and
killing the fireman, James o Neil of

was near Elbow bridge and the rock

4CADEMY GIKLS KICK.

The basket ball game between the
seminary ana st. Johnsbury academy
girls, scheduled for Friday evening, did
not occur owing to the unwillingness
of the visiting team to play in the
armory but the audience was not dis
appointed, however, for a team from
the high school was on hand and one
OF the best games of the season result
ed. The St bloomsbury girls came
with the intention of playing in the
Y. M. G. A. gymnasium and were
under strict orders not to play in the
armory. The explanation of this may
be that the academy boys have been
so severely drubbed by the seminary
boys on this floor during the past,
season that the hall is hoodooed in st.
Johnsbury. When the team reached
here and learned that the armory had
been selected as the battle ground,
Principal Comstock was telephoned to
and he forbade the game. Professor
Hamilton later had talk with Mr.
Comstock and adjusted the matter so
that the visiting girls donned their
uniforms and appeared on the floor.
After conference with the chaperone,
however, the girls decided not to play
the game and loaned their suits to
the high school girls and watched the
contest from the gallery. The semi
nary girls were successful in defeating
the high school by score of 8 to A.
Both sides played good basket ball
and the game was watched with in
terest. The line up was as follows:
M. Bradford, Leslie, forwards;
Marvin, center; Donohue, Hopkins,
guards.
HIS. - Joslyn, Stone, forwards;
Hutchins, center; Kemp, Sherburne,
guards. In the last half Miss Ship
man was substituted as guard for the
high school.

Dear Sirs: Here's what "fewer

two houses exactly alike. He painted
one with mixed paint-took twelve

voe-bought twelve gallons and had
six gallons left. Same painter

The secret is: Devoe Lead and
Zinc is one hundred per cent. paint !;
the mixed paint was about fifty per
cent. paint and fifty per cent. adul-
teIation.
Here is an analysis of asmixed paint

What is it for?
To fill the can to take unfair adj
vantage of your very natural and
right desire to make your house paint

T0RTURINC
DISFICURINC
Skin, Scalp and Blood
HumourS
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 in eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled
head; the facial disflgurements, as in
pimples and ringworm /; the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety of worn
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 Resolvent
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-
cians fail.

mobilization. Italy has offered prizes for
types fulfilling certain conditions.
In England the secretary of state for

The greatest objection to electric motors
that they will not run far enough without
rechargtng-is said to have been overcome.
While 1 was in England electric motor
ran about 100 miles without recharging. It
was done with battery OF 424 plate cells
with a capacity Of about $50 ampere-hours.
The carriage was a four-wheel dog-cart.
with two motors Of two and one-half horse
power each. The secret OF the batteries
which enabled 1t to make such a record was
that in coming down grade the motors were
reversed. thus making them dynamos for
charging the accumulators. In this way the
current was not only saved, but a new cur
rent actually generated, rendering the bat
