Mhx Foam d. White.

The question as to why all foam Is
white IS lot an easy one to understand;
but the fact Is that foam Is always white,
whatever may be the color of the liquid
Itself. The froth produced on a bottle
OF the blacklist Ink Is white. and would
be perfectly so were Il not tinged to a
certain extent by particles OF the liquid
which the bubbles hold In sus-
pension.
AS TO the cause OF this Wilderness, II Is
sufficient TO say that 1t Is due to the
large number OF rejecting surfaces
formed by the foam. for II Is these sur
faces, which. by rejecting the light. pro-
duce upon our eyes tie impression OF
white.
III we remember that all bodies owe
their colors TO the rays OF light which
they cannot absorb. and all bodies which
reflect all the light they receive, without
absorbing any. appear perfectly white,
we shall be prepared to understand how
the multitude OF rejecting surfaces
formed by the foam. and which do not
absorb any light, must necessarily give
the froth a white appearance. 1t is for
the same reason that any very fine pow
ded appears white. even the blacklist mar

Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
Hands Pinned Down-Miracu'
lous Cure by Cuticura
when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor, but
he could not help him, and in our de-
spair we went to a third one Matters
became so bad that he had regular
holes in his cheeks, large enough to put
a finger into. The food had to be Civ
en- with a spoon, for his mouth was
covered with crusts as thick as a fin
ger. and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
pirate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body. was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face, and make
an open sore. l think his face must
nave ltcned most f2arfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and l had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
entity, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend Of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made a trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolyent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear. and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white as
never before. +. Hohrath, President

Scandal in Port Huron.

The late 'Jed Spalding OF Michigan
who weighed $50 pounds and stood s feet 5
inches in his socks, was one of the best
jokers IN the state. He had a brother-in-
law in politics, when he did not like very
well and ones vigorously opposed his can
didacy for mayor of Port Huron. Mich.
day while the campaign was at its
height the ministers of the city held a
meeting 20 decide which candidate 10
support. Jed happened to meet one OF the
pastors on the way to the meeting. This
preacher was an aged Scotchman and
somewhat hard OF hearing. He told Spald-
ing that he wouid do all he could 10 pre-
vent the brother-in-law's Endorsement and
asked for a pointer or two for a speech.

"yoti don't tell me-" the pastor said
and he hurried OF to the meeting to spread
the news among the ministers. He got

wicked wretch. He Is living with another
mans sister. have the word OF his
brother -in-law. Jed Spnlding, Tor H."
Immediately the meeting was In an up-

From Inc HOTlu lOudS'
AS one of the younger men engaged
In the making of newspapers, l am
very willing that our present day wares
should be compared with those that
went before. l came into the business
at the end of the Bohemian era. Today,
alcoholism is as rare in Fleet street as
it is in any other professional quarter.
No person who spends his leisure in a
pothouse could maintain his place
amidst the strain and stress of the pro-
duction of a daily newspaper. The
journalist of today is as often as not
a journalist tout court. He is not an
unsuccessful barrister, and he has not
adopted journalism as a means to
some other occupation. The prizes may
not 5e as great as they are in one or
two instances at the bar, but they are
Infinitely more numerous. The social
position is as good as that of any other
working profession. The brain equip
ment must needs be as complete.

How the lnxsstiaation eeaan.

From Success. Magazine for December.
There would have been no investi-
cation OF the insurance companies had
IL not been for the recent disclosures
made by David Ferguson, a reporter
for the New York World, who began
by prodding the officers of the Equita-
BILE about James Hazen ifydc's Cambon
dinner and other evidences of ruinous
waste.
AT the outset Ferguson was laughed
at by the men he approached. Hyde
and Alexander, the two heads of the
Equitable, denied everything, denied
that there was any factional uprising
in the Equitable, or the slightest un-
friendliness between Mr.. Hyde and Mr..
Alexander. But the reporter kept on
%prodding and digging patiently until
he gained the confidence of someone
on the inside whose name will prob
ably never be known.
From that time on Ferguson had the
situation In his wi hands, and what
followed Is thoroughly known to the
American public today, having resulted
In the greatest %upheaval eve known
in the history OF American finance.
Compelled, by the persistent revela-
tons Ferguson was making, to UNDER
take an investigation, Francis Hen
bricks, superintendent OF insurance for
the state of New York. flied away a
lengthy uOCumeuL CONTAINING tue leSll-
mony he had taken, and Ii remained
for Louis Seiboid. another World re-
porter, to procure a copy of this secret
report, which made the longest story"
ever run" In a newspaper abou a
single incident-112. 900 words.
1t is still a matter OF keenest specula-
ton among the newspaper men OF New
York how Seibold obtained possession
of a state document. and IL will be,
probably. q mystery forever. Report
,ers OF Seibold's type never betray cor
fidence. Were the secrets OF Messrs.
Ferguson and Seibold known concern
ing the great insurance exposure, they
would. undoubtedly, make good read
ing, but these men made pledges OF
confidence for the public good, and IL
goes without saying that those pledges
will die with them

The little revolver that had served her

fear that the window might open slow

visitor of the night before. There was
a warm, red glow in her face and a
quick beat in her heart as she crossed

her that she could be nothing TO this

heart stubbornly resisted all the argu
