SORES ON HANDS.
Suffered for a Long Time Withou
Relief-Doctor Afraid to Touch
Them-Cured by Cuticura.


For a long time l suffered with
sores on the hands which were itching,
painful, and disagreeable. l had three
doctors and derived no benefit from
any of them. One doctor said he was
afraid to touch my hands, so you must
know how bad they were; another said
l never could be cured; and the third
said the sores were caused by the dip
ping of my hands in water in the dye
house where l work. / saw in the pa
pers about the wonderful cures of the
Cuticura Remedies and procured some
of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. In three days after the
application of the Cuticura Ointment
my hands began to peel and were bet
ter. The soreness disappeared, and
they are now smooth and clean, and
l am still working in the dye-house.

An Ever=Present Foe,

The soldier and the sailor are es-
pecially subject to catarrh. In the bar
racks and on the field, Peruna is found
equally eficacious to overcome this
physical enemy. If taken in time. it
will prevent colds from developing into
catarrh. Even after a cold has settled
in some organ of the body, Peruna can
be relied upon as an efficacious remedy
to promptly overcome it.
Peruna will relieve catarrh, whether
acute or chronic. but a few doses of it
taken in the first stages of the disease
will be more effective than when the
disease has become established.

Remember Anniversaries.

The happiest households are those
that do not let die out the sentiment
connected with various anniversaries.
Although gift-giving or recognition of
such events in a suitable way may be
out Of the question owing to the
straitenCd circumstances of those
within the gates" there can yet be
little air Of fcstivity when moth
er's or fathers birthday comes around,
CT some wedding anniversary is to be
celebrated. An extra dish, a little
bunch of flowers, or some special mu-
sic prepared for the occasion, will
show the kindly spirit and the loving
remembrance that count far more
thar the money value of any gift. AS
the children grow up, if these festi-
walls are encouraged, they will have
much to look forward to and much
more to remember III the years to
come when they go out to do battle
with the world and find that senti-
ment is crushed under foot and affec-
ton is regarded only as side issue.

President RooSeyeltS message to
Congress transmitting the annual re-
ports of the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion will be received with qualification
throughout the country. 1t will do
much to allay recently circulated sto-
rleS as TO the way in which the great
work of canal construction is being
conducted. These stories, while fire.
quently vague in details, have been
sufficiently numerous to create an i'm
preston. There have been rumors Of
eXtravagant waste in salaries and the
letting of contracts. Progress toward
the actual construction of the canal
has been represented as slow and char
acteriZed by inefficient management.
That the President finds it possible to
deny these various charges sweeping
ly and unreservedly is highly reasur-
ring. As to the charges of incom-
potency or extravaganza, he says he
has examined every one Of them and
found that in every instance they were
without foundation in any shape or
form" On the contrary, he declares,
the work on the isthmus sis being adj
mirably done and great progress has
been made during the last nine
months" The mechanical equipment
necessary for the canal-digging opera
tons is being rapidly installed. The
work of sanitation is progressing we'll
and an effective organization of the
administrative forces has been made.
On the whole the President feels justi-
fed in saying that the canal will be
dug in shorter time and at lower eX-
pense than had been anticipated. This
highly optimistic report gives cause for
increased confidence IN the men in
| charge of the enterprise and in their
methods, though it would be a mistake
to accept it Dis a reason for relaxing
vigilance. The essential thing, now
that a good start has been made, is
that there be no remission of the
| watchfulness which has kept the work
up to high standard.

Sentiment may find special interest
in the current report of the Postmaster
General, for We are celebrating the
two hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Franklin, who was Deputy
Postmaster General of the British colo
MES in America. At the time of
Franklin's death, 1890, there were sew
enty-five postoffices in this country.
To-day there are siXty-eight thousand.
Then the receipts were less than forty
thousand dollars. Last year they were
a hundred and fifty million. The num-
Der of people employed by the post
office department is nearly three hun
dred thousand-eQual to the working
population of a great city-aLd the
number of employees and of all agents
and means for distributing mail
mounts faster in proportion than the
receipts. The Postmaster General
touches on many suggested improve
ments, such as the reduction of GER
tain rates of postage, the parcels post
and postal savings repositories but he
recommends that attention be paid not
so much to possible additions to the
service as to the improvement Of the
kinds of service already established.

Having cognlzance of the fact
that my friend Muldoon possesses
sufficient breadth and depth to
permit his own naturalness to nat
uralize, 1 requested him last Christ
mas to write an article or a series
of articles on the subject of hyp-
notism. He said he would do so
at some future time, but added
that he could not handle it in dia-
lect and would have to write plain
English or German. But in his
series of articles now appearingin
The MIRROR he is demonstrating
that he can do full justice to that
difficult subject in dialect.
I like Muldoon because he is a
man, even tho he is a boy; like him
because he thinks thoughts; like
him because when he reads in
structive thoughts Of instructive
writer's he permits these thoughts
to sink in; like him because he
possesses the characteristics of men
who do things and make good''in
the woodland like him because
he develops originality and writes
good stuff He has one bad
habit, however, and that is the
wasting of a considerable portion
of his valuable time in reading
such common every day fiction as
fills the pages of such magazines
as the Argosy-magazinest that are
worth about seven cents less than
nothing per carload. But what
the world is sorely in need of is a
more general thinking apparatus,

one possessed by Muldoon. Inthe
