NO SLEEP FOR MOTHER
Baby Covered With Sores and Scales

Cure by cutieura.

AT four months old my baby's face
and body were so covered with sores
and large scales you could not tell
what she looked like. No child ever
had a worse case. Her face was being
eaten away, and even her finger nails
fell off. 1t itched so she could not
sleep. and for many weary lights we
could get no rest. At last we got
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The
sores began to heal at once. and she
could sleep at night, and in one month
she had not one sore on her ia ,e or
body.-Mrs, Mary Sanders 100 spring

Electricity from Water Power.


The utilization OF water power for
the creation of electric energy has in.
creased to an extraordinary degree in
recent years, although IL Is 10 be
noted that the power so far used is
only an infnitesimal fraction OF the
aggregate water power of the world.
The amount OF water power utiliz.
ei has been estimated to be 1900 900
horse power in round numbers. The
United States uses the largest
amount mainly on account OF the
employment OF the power of Niagara
Falls, which also secures second place
to Canada. In round numbers in the
United States about $4,000 horse
power; in Canada. 100000; in Italy,
about 200000 in France. 100, 900: in
Switzerland, 1856, 900; In Germany, ST.
O00 in Sweden. 1900, and in other
countries lesser amounts. As these
statistics are undoubtedly incomplete.
the aggregate water power utilized
for electric energy In the world is
probably 100000 horse power, which
Is about twice the steam power used
in England and Ireland combined.

New Flying Machine Like Bird.

To fly IL not to flee IKE a bird
20 the mountains" and elsewhere is
the ambition of two Englishmen who
have perfected flying machine built
upon the principles OF a birds wing
and body. The wings are at present
arranged to flap 100 times a minute,
which is of course considerably less
than proportionately corresponding
to the increased horsepower.
The machine has been suspended
from a tree bough and the wings
happer under power. The results are
most promising. At each down stroke
the whole machine. apart from the
carriage, weighing 232 pounds, is lift.
ed bodily into the air anu forwards.
1t rises about two feet each stroke.
1t looks just like a gigantic bird try
Ing to fly under similar conditions.
At the preliminary trial, already
made. 1t would appear that the wings
are capable of evoking a resistance
OF about 100 pounds each, and the ma
chine is raised about two feet each
stroke. There are grounds for bellev'
ing that a feathered wing made of o
number OF units can exert a greater
resistance than simple wing; such
as that Of the insect or bat type, OF
the various simple mechanical wings
which have been hitherto used In
wing Tapping machines.

interchangeable Razor Blade.

The number of devices which have
been recently introduced for the con.
venlence of the man who wants to
shave himself is almost without end.
and IL would seem many things OF
this character must certainly put
some Of the barber establishments out
OF business, but the latter seem to go
on increasing just the same. 1t often
happens that a man is perfectly able
to shave himself in a very satisfactory
manner, but his difficulty may be in
keeping the razor in proper condition,
and II he is compelled to run to the
BARRIERS or cutters shop with the in.
strument every few weeks there is no
advantage in the possession of the
skill necessary to amputate the whisk.
ers from his face.
The interchangeable razor blade has
been devised to meet this emergency.
In appearance 1t looks like pretty
much any other razor, but the blade

a boy could enter Harvard college and

Henry Cabot Lodge in tho Reader

not included in the scheme OF the
higher education. Boys entering col.

OF tho history OF Greece and Rome,
but not OF their own country. During
the four years Of tho college course
they had opportunity 10 study the his.

This condition OF education was mere

then passing away. but which had once
been predominant. The usual opinion
seems to have been during the first
half of the nineteenth century that
there was no American history worth
