DIFFERENCE OF DEGREE.
Both Parted Their Hair in the Mid
die, But Ones Part Was Much
the Wider.

One of the veteran lawyers of Bur-
1ingtoii, VT, is A. v. Spalding, writes
F. H. Kelsey of Lowell, in the Boston
Globe. One day when ne was trying
case in the Chittenden county court
he called as a witness a stylishly
dressed young man who parted his
hair in the middle, a practice. that
used to be regarded as indicative of
a dude The young man, however,
gave his testimony in plain, straight
forward manner and resumed his seat.
When the argument came to be
made by the counsel opposed to Mr..
Spalding, reference was made in a
peculiarly cutting manner to the fop-
pish looking witness who parted his
hair in me middle.
On rising to reply, Mr.. Spalding
said: 81 fail to see how the fact that
this young man parts his hair in the
middle has any bearing in this case.
He certainly has a right to part his
hair in the middle, and he parts it ex-
actly as my brother on the other side
does his, only he added, pointing to
the perfectly bald head of the oppos-
ing lawyer, che doesn't part it quite

to examinations which so many physi-
clans propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is the rea-
son why SO many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are CORE

in-law of Lydia E. Pinlxham, at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can confide every
detail of their illness. and from her
great knowledge, obtained from years
of experience in treating female ills,
Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women
more wisely than the local physician.
Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs.
c. Willadsen of Manning Ia. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:

INDIAN EARTHQUAKE
Red Men Believe Center of Earth Is
Filled with Compressed
Hot Lava

Maj Cicero Newell tells why there
are such things as earthquakes, tidal
waves and volcanoes. The major
learned these things from Dakota In
dians, says .he Seattle Times.
When l lived among the Dakotas.'
said he, Il found men who, like Budd-
ha, gave seven years of their lives
to prayer and fasting, that they might
become more pure in the sight of God,
or the Great Spirit. as they called that
being. After they have proved them
selves before their people by perform
ing so-called miracles, such as holding
their hands and arms in boiling water
and not being burned, shot with poi
sOned arrows and not harmed bit
ten by rattlesnakes and not poisoned,
and many other tests that l have wit
messed, they are accepted as holy or
wise men. The Indians believe that
they can get tie word direct from God,
or the Great Spirit, the same as the
wise men and Secrs of old used to do.
1 have asked .nese lntelligences to tell
me about the cause of the earthquakes
and tidal waves, and they explain it
like this:
They say volcanoes are the safety
valves of the earth. That the rim
of the earth is gradually cooling. As
it cools it contracts, making the press
ure on the hot lava in the interior
greater. At last something must give
way, this rim must crack open, or the
volcanoes must burst forth and emit
this compressed lava.
Sometimes it is relieved in one
way, sometimes in another. Should
the earth crack in midocean, where the
crust is usually thinner, then the wa
tiers of the ocean fill in and there is
great explosion as the water strikes
this great bed of hot lava, large masses
of the rim are thrown up and islands
appear. Sometimes they stay on the
surface of the ocean, sometimes they
fall back AMI are again covered with
water, but the upheaval so lifts the
water that great wave is started for
the shore that carries death and de-
struction in its way.
Many of the old safety valves in the
earth are now closing up; only few
remain. The crust is becoming SO
thick that the cooling process is
more slow

TORTURED WITH ECZEMA.
Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body
Scratched Until Bled-Won-
derfu1 Cure by Cuticura.

Last year I suffered with a ire
mendous itching on my back, which
grew worse and worse, until it spread
over the whole body, and only my
face and hands were free. For four
months or so 1 suffered torments, and
1 had to scratch, scratch, scratch, I'M
til 1 bled. At night when 1 went to
bed things got worse, and I had at
times to get up and scratch my body
all over, until 1 was as sore as could
be, and until I suffered excruciating
pains. They told me that I was suf
fering from eczema. Then / made up
my mind that I would use the Cuti-
cura Remedies. 1 used them accord
ing to instructions, and very soon in
deed I was greatly relieved. I con-
tinued until well, and now 1 am
ready to recommend the Cuticura

Liked Prison.

Sir Alfred Reynolds, who has done
a great deal for British unfortunates,
says that when a young girl goes to
prison for the first time it is for her
a very dreadful thing. He tells of a
case which came under his notice as a
visiting justice. A young girl, when
she found herself in the prison, was
utterly overcome with shame and be-
came hysterical. The matron con-
trived to soothe her. When her time
came to be released the girl said to
the matron, I've been so happy that
1 shan't mind coming back again"
