HANDS RAW WITH ECZEMA,

Body and limbs-cured by the
Cuticura Remedies.

II had eczema on my hands for ten
years. At first it would break out
only in winter. Then it finally came
to stay. l had three good doctors to
do all they could, but none Of them did
any good. I then used one box of
Cuticura Ointment and three bottles
of Cuticura Resolvent, and was com.
pletely cured. My hands were raw
all over inside and out, and the &c.
zema was spreading all over my body
and limbs. Before l had used one bot.
tie OF Cuticura Resolvent, together
with the Ointment, my sores were
nearly healed over, and by the time
| had used the third bottle, I was en-.
tirely we'll. had a good appetite and
was feshier than l ever was. To any
one who has any skin or blood dis.
ease / would honestly advise them to
get the Cuticura Remedies, and get
well quicker than all the doctors in
the State could cure you. Mrs. M. E.

URGED RUSSIANS TO YIELD.
Japanese Fired Letters as Well as
Shells Into Forts at Port
Arthur.

mat the japanese soldiers besieg-
Ing Fort Arthur sought from time ia
time to induce the Russians to SUR
render, in order to prevent as much as
possible unnecessary sacrifice of life
and to save the Russians from unnec-
essary privations, is made plain by the
following story told by correspond
ent of the Osaka Aashi:
In the early;part of October last tho
japanese occupied an outpost of a
Russian fort on the northern slope of
the East Kikwan mountain. Now that
the opposing forces were brought very
near to each other, the japanese gen.
erals in charge thought of a hundred
and one plans to induce the individual
Russian soldiers to surrender. Finally
they arrived at an ingenious device.
Miyagoshi Jusaku was a Russian
japanese Interpreter in the service of
the Japanese army. He could write
IN Russian very nicely. So he wrote
the following letter, which was fas-
tened to an arrow and was sent with
the latter by skilful archer, who ex-
erted all the strength of his arms In
bending the bow.
"The Russian Soldiers
Isn't 1t very cold? We are now weary and
bored every day. We believe it is the same
with you. You must be tired of this long
war. Your wives and children, we pre-
sumo, are worrying about you. We sym.
pathize with you.
You must be wanting food WHY
wouldn't you surrender? lfyou do, we will
give you warm food We will do you no
harm, but offer you all the comforts to your
satisfaction.
IF you wish to communicate with YOUR
home, fasten your letters to stones and
throw them to US. We will forward them
for you.
"At Mukden, Kuropatkin has been de-
feated again. There is no certainty in ref
erence to the coming of the Baltic fleet
Port Arthur is doomed to fail.
"Those of you who surrender soon will be
happy, but those who hesitate will meet a
horrible fate, We request of you to take
our words as from your God who protects
your wives and children.
IF you are willing to accept our offer we
will make all the necessary arrangements
for your surrender. Steal the eye Of your
superior officers, abandon your weapons
and come. During the daytime, come wav.
ing your handkerchiefs. At nights, come
saying aloud 'Anata' (Sir)
I'VE pray for your health. Good-by."
The effect of the missive was soon
seen. Three Russian fugitives came
in front of the East Kikwan mountain.
While two of them were unfortunately
shot before their actions indicated
their pacific intention, the third sue
ceeded in his attempt.
He was sergeant of artillery at the
fort. Upon investigation, it was found
that he had made up his mind to sur
render after he read the arrow mis-.
sive'

feet, and we had to have a pusher and
a putter for dad, a dago to go ahead
and pull him up, and another to put
his shoulder against dads pants and
shove. Gee, but it was a picture to
see dad "go up old baldhead," with
the dagoes perspiring and swearing at
dad for being so heavy, and the Chi
cago woman laughing, and me pushing
her up.
One thing that scared dad was that
every little way there was a shrine,
where the guides left dad lying on the
ground, blocked with a piece of cold
lava, SO he wouldn't roll down, like you
would block a wagon wheel, and they
would 60 to the shrine and kneel and
say some prayers.
Dad was afraid they were going to
charge the prayers in the bill for push
ing him up, but told dad that these

When I used to study my geography
at the little red schoolhouse, and look
at the picture Of the volcano Vesuvius,
and read about how it would throw
up red-hot lava, and ashes, and rocks
as big as house, and wipe out cities,
1t looked so terrible to me that I was
glad when we got through with the
volcano lesson, and got to Greenland's
icy mountains, where there was no
danger except being frozen to death,

Then I never expected to be right on |
the very top Of that volcano, throwing
