Court Wit.

"Did you see this tree that has been mentioned by the roadside?' an advo- cate inquired.
 "Yes, sir, saw it very plainly"
 1t was conspicuous, then?"
 The witness seemed puzzled by the new word. He repeated his former as- sertion.
 "What is the difference" sneered the lawyer, "between plain and conspicu- ous?" ! But he was hoist with his own petard. The witness innocently answered:
 "I can see you plainly, sir, among the other lawyers, though you are not bit conspicuous"
 In another instance blow directed against the character of a witness for cibly recoiled.
 "You were in the company of these people?" he was asked.
 "Of two friends, sir"
 "Friends! Two thieves, suppose you mean"
 "That may be so," was the dry retort; ''they gre both lawyers" The blow that destroys the effect of an adverse examination is occasionally more the result of accident than of conscious effort. In trial, not long ago, a very simple witness was in the box, and, after going through his ordeal, was ready to retire. One question re- mained:
 "Now, MT. -, has not an attempt been made to induce you to tell the court adiferent story?"
 "A different story to what have told, sir?" "Yes; is it not soY"
 "Yes. sir"
 @Upon your oath, I demand to know who the persons are who have attempt ed tbis.'
 "Wen, sir, you've tried as hard as any of 'em," was the unexpected answer.

In Case of Fire.

Does Douglas need better protection from fire? Several of the business men of Front street are not satisfied with the present facilities, in the city, for fighting fire, and are earnestly adTo- eating the purchase of gas engine and a centrifugal pump to be placed some where near the wharf. 1t is argued that in case of fire any place on Front street, sea water could be pumped from the bay. It is also argued that gas engine would always be ready to run, and in that respect would be quicker than steam. It is also said to be less expensive.
 As towns go, Douglas is already bless ed with far potter water supply than the average. The reservoirs ca the hill hold in the neighborhood of quarter of million gallons, and the "Tread- we'll" pipe line, running along St. Ann Avenue gives connection with sup ply that is well nigh inexhaustible. In addition to this, the pump at the Nata- torium Is now in shape, ready for an emergency. Still, there is DO such thing as absolute safety, and if pump can be worked from the water front that will give additional security, why not?
 If the property owners along Front street would put in walk, SO that fire men could get to the back of the build ings in case of fire, the danger would be made less. AS it is, the only access to the back of the buildings is through the stores and shops. When the writer first came to Douglas, all the fire 6ght- ing apparatus in the town was furnished and kept in repair by Mir. Murray, the owner of the Water Works. Now, not Withstanding the improvements, some are not yet satisfied. But that is good sign, and may result in more perfect system. There is nothing too good for Douglas.

AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS.
Terrible ScaIy Humor in Patches All Over the Body-2kin Cracked and
 Sieeding-Cured by Cuticura.

T was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-fiye years. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oint- ment and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made it's appearance in red spots, generally forming circle, leaving in the center a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw. and light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on nay arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without remov- ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed I suffered in- tense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable.
