{ fCz MA.

In July, 1883, began to break out with
Eczema on my head, legs and arms. and
began treatment with local doctors. but
did not getmuch relief. They said the dis
ease had become chronic. I then quit them
and tried various ointments and soaps for
another two years, but as soon as cold
weather camel was as bad off as ever, so I
finally decided to let medicine alone, and
for twelve or thirteen years did nothing
towards curing the Eczema, except bath
ing. This seemed to do about as much
good as anything had tried.
During the time lost about one-half of
my hair. Ibegan S. S. S. doubtful Of
cure, because the disease had run SO long,
but soon discovered your medicine was
doing me good, and continued to take it.
i used seven bottles, when I was com
pletely cured. not having single spot on
my body, which before was almost CON-
pletely covered. &c. NORFOLK,

HUSBANDS ARE IN CLOVER,
More Girls Than Boys Born in Uru-
quay and the Men Are
Pampered.

A South American visitor described
Uruguay as a paradise for hu@bands.
Men are in considerable minority, for
although the great war, which carried
off the majority of the masculine popu-
latiOn. occurred several years ago, ma
ture has not yet corrected the deficiency,
says Cassell's Journal.
Many more girls than boys are born,
with the result that men are everywhere
in great request, and when a woman gets
q husband she does her utmost to take
care of him.
He leads a life of ease and freedom,
takes his meals whenever he chooses.
and is never asked to trouble himself
with domestic affairs. His wife thinks
nothing too good for him, and he l. pam
pered and petted In every way.

state of things for the married and

Collection Of Cats Tails,

There is a gamekeeper at Winches-
ter who has a wonderful collection of
cats tails, which he obtained in the fol-
lowing way: He surrounds the coops in
which he keeps his p~heasants with a net
work of electric wires, and when the
cats come after his birds they are killed
by the shock of touching the wires. In
he morning the g~amekeeper goes around
and picks up the bodies Of the maraud-
ers and cuts off the tails, of which he
has 255 specimens. He is not popular
with his neighbors, who suspect that
they have contributed to his collection

HOUSE MOVED ON BARGE,
Brick Building of Two Hundred Tons
Weight Floated Nearly
Four Miles.

The subject\in question is the removal
Of a large two-story brick building, 60
yearsold weighingOver 200 tons, it's
former location at S~harpsburg, a sub
urb of Pittsburg, to Allegheny, a dis
lance of nearly four miles. This in it
self is a very clever piece of work, u
to make it all the more wonderful most
of the work was performed upon the
water.
From the moment the house was lift
ed untlllt was placed upon it's new founda-
tons there arose one complication aft
er another. The long stretch of ground
lying between it and the river was of
such a soft, marshy nature, apparently
without bottom, that the building was
constantly in danger of cOllapsing; but
even when these obstacles were over
come, n the house placed upon the
shore Of the river, a very severe food
rose, surrounding the house to a depth
halfway to the second story, and plac-
ing it in midstream. In order to pre-
vent it being washed away, the blocking
and rollers had to be weighted down
with immense beams and steel rails.
The rushing waters abating sufficiently,
the house was moved INT lowered upon
a large coal barge. This being done and
everything made ready, it was gradually
towed down the Allegheny river. but,
due to the four low bridges between it
and its destination, the barge had to
be scuttled before passing each bridge,
the water being pumped out afterward.
To add to the excitement, it had to be
lowered through a lock: and, even when
the river trip was completed. three
tracks of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts
burg railroad had to be crossed within
80 minutes.

Claims Patented Without Making of

There exists and is spreading in
the West a tenant or hired-labor sys-
tenn. which not only represents
relatively low industrial development
but whose further extension carries
with it most serious threat. Politi-
cally. socially, and economically, this
system is indefensible. Had the land
laws been effective and effectually
enforced its growth would have been
impossible.

JAPANESE ORDER oANNEb MEAT
Threc Hundred Tons VIM Leave Fort-
land Saturday.

Three hundred tons of canned
meat will be carried to Japan on the
steamer Numantia, which is due to
arrive from the Orient on Saturday,
SAYS the Oregon Daily Journal. Space
for the shipment was engaged this
morning. The meat is coming from
Chicago, and is for the use of the
Japanese army. 1t is the biggest con-
signment of canned goods ever made
from this port to the Far East.

to the Orient by way of Portland is
rapidly increasing. 1t is not so Fmahy
plonths ago that flour. wheat and
lumber comprised the entire tlise of
products sent on steamers sailing

and raw material of all sorts produc-

Southern states. Chief among these
have been tobacco, cotton and ma

Local Ontion is unheId.

Judge Bradshaw last week handed
down a decision in the circuit court,
upholding the local option law in
Hood River and deciding that the
city must pay the saloon men the
rebate on their licenses. The attor-
'neys for the city have given notice of
appeal to the supreme court of the
state. When p. F. Fouts filed his
suit against the city to recover $3.50
as rebate on unexpired saloon license
the city's attorneys filed a demurrer
questioning the constitutionality OF
the local option law. The case was
argued before Judge Bradshaw and
on Thursday of last week the judge
overruled the demurrer, thereby sus-
tanning the validity of the law. Judg-
ment was rendered in favor of Fouts
for the amount claimed.-Glacier. 10
