New York, Nov. 3.-Mrs. Robert e.

today the following message from
Commander Peary dated at Hopen-
dale, Labrador:
"Homeward voyage incessant battle

New York, Nov. 3.-Commander
Robert e. Peary of the United States
navy has reached north latitude 81 de-
grees and minutes which means that
he has approached nearer to the north
pole than any other artic explorer.
He was within 203 miles Of the pole.
Records have been kept Of attempts
by civilized nations to reach the north
pole since 1853, when Sir Hugh Will
loughby lost sixty-two lives in an i'll
fated expedition, and the honor Of hav-
ing reached farthest north has been
in international race. Before Com
mander Peary's present trip the re-
cord was held by the duke of Abuzzi,
who reached So degrees and "a min

| Peary failed to reach the north pole
as he had hoped to do in his specially
constructed ship the Roosevelt. but
his feat brings to the United States
| the honor Of holding the record for
artic exploration. His sufferings and
the hardships endured by his party
were as severe as the bravest men
could stand and it was due to heroic
rescues that no lives were lost.

news of Pearys victory was received

The Waiter's Napkin.

The waiter without his napkin? I'm
possible, declares Boniface. One
might as well imagine the table with
out tablecloth. The waiter has car
ried napkin ever since he donned
black and white, and therefore 1t is
unseemly, barbaric to think of his ap-
pairing at table without the fluttering
and obsequious linen. We have seen
him and his napkin. First he draws
out the chair and flicks away an in
plate and then furtively wipes his
brow. A spoon is a little greasy
waiter daubs 1t with his napkin. A
glass is er-marked-rubbed with
the napkin. A bottle Is dusty-the
napkin. There may be other napkins,
but the waiter Is not an aesthetic. Were
he an aesthetic he would not be wait
er. He does not remember to change
his napkin. He uses 1t indiscriminate-
ly. The only cure is to take it away
from him, and keep things clean as a
matter of course. The speck of dust
which the waiter removes with such
grave and elegant circumspection has
no business to be where he finds it.
1t would be a pity indeed, to denude
him Of his insignia of Office, says the
Chicago Post, but the efforts of Prof
Kron, the Berlin physician, who would
drive this "deplorably unhygienic niece
of linen from all civilized countries, .
are prompted by the most sensible mo-
tives, and should be seconded by every
restaurant proprietor who does not
consider his duties fulfilled when he
floats a geranium leaf in finger bowl.

A Clever Trick.
Requires Careful Balancing and You
May Fool Your Boy Friends
with 1t.

The accompanying picture shows
this little feat better than any words
could do. Place a chair on the floor,
front downward, in such way that
the legs are horizontal and the back
is uppermost.
Get one of your boy friends to kneel
on the lower back bar OF the cnalr
and take up with his lips piece of
candy placed on the back Of the top
bar. The picture shows you his posi-
ton, just as he is about to make the
attempt.
1t is not unlikely that the boy will
think you have set a trap for him;
that you want to give him header"
on to the floor, but you can overcome
his reluctance by first doing the thing
yourself.
All that is necessary is for you to
keep the center OF gravity back Of the
chair seat. and this you can do by
crouohing very carefully. Perhaps,
suggests the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune, 1t might be as we'll for you
to practice for a while in private, and

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with crusts
Hands Pinned DoWn-Miraeu.
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
despair we went to a third one. Mat
tiers became so bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks, large enough
to put finger into. The food had to
be given with spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick az
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, 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
have itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help. and / had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-

cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, 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. F. Hohrath, Presi-

Forests Falling Fast.

Finally the lumbermen can see the
beginning of the end. They have been
leveling the forests and converting
them into money. Now they have ar
rived at the point where they can con-
ceive that soon there will be no more
g-aat primeval forests to cut down.
The lumbermen have been doing a lit
tie figuring. They have estimated that
there is 5000, 900, 900 feet of lumber
standing in the United States. The
quantity which Is cut every year
amounts to 45,000,000,OO0 feet 1t is
deduction easily made that it will
require orAy 33 years to consume the
present supply. The lumbermen are
beginning to clamor for government
assistance to save their business. They
request that the expectation of logs
shall be prohibited and that all tree
plantations shall be exempt from tax
alton. 1t is clear that some such
measures must soon be taken, says the
Cleveland Leader. But it is doubtful
however, that those recommended by
the lumbermen will in themselves
prove to be effectual. Additional and
stronger protective laws will probably
be found necessary.
