Ring Of Fungus Growth.

Before people studies nature to learn
the truth, and when they delighted in
all sorts Of fanCieS. it was claimed that
rings of fungus grOwths were caused
by the dancing of fairies. by a thunder
bolt entering the ground. or by the
work of m0les. Various other equally
absurd explanations have been given.
Now we know that the first fungus
plant growing from a spore takes from
the soil under and near il all or most
OF the special food that the plant re-
quires. Only The spores from this plant
that fall just outside the exhausted
soil will find good fungus FOOD, and so
the circle of successive growths widens
because only the spores outside of he
ring can find fOOd.-St. Nicholas

AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.
Over the Body--skin Cracked and

OF Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oint-
ment and two bottles of Resolvent.
In thirty days was completely cured.
and | think permanently, as 1t was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made its appearance in red spots,
generally forming a circle, leaving in
the center spot about the size of q
silver dollar of sound flesh. In short
time the affected circle would form
q heavy dry scale OF a white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
on. To remove the entire scales by
bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
a light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours.
II was worse on my arms and limbs,
although 1t was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. II let the
scales remain too long without remov-
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. l suffered in.
tense itching, worse at nights after
getting warm in bed, or blood warm
by exercise, when It would be almost
unbearable. w. NJ. Chidester, Hutch.
