BABYS AWFUL ECZEMA.
Skin Peeled OFF Hands and Face-En
dured Tortures-Cured by the
Cuticura Remedies.

ri caa truthfully say that just two
cakes of Cuticura Soap and two bottles Of
Cuticura ResoIvent surprised me, as the
skin was peeling of my baby's hands and
face, and he was suffering awful. When
the eczema first appeared be was very
healthy, but as soon h. was covered
with 1t he lost flesh rapidly. But as soon
as l coml-enced to use the Cuticura Rene
dies he started to mend. l keep on using
the Cuticura Soap, as l think it is an in
dispensablc article around the house. As
my baby weighs thlrty-seven pounds and
is only eventeen months ole, you can i'm

IdleRt Parson She Knew.

Here is a bit of exact reasoning on
the part of a little schoolgirl. The
teacher wished to impress the idea of
the wrong of idleness. He led up to it
by asking who are the persons who get
all they could and did nothing in re-
turn. For some time there was silence,
but at last the little girl, who had OBJ
viously reasoned out the answer induc-
lively from her own home experience,
exclaimed. with a good deal Of conf
dence. please, sir, it's the baby!'-

over 100 years ago Benjamin
Henry Latrobe was advocating the
movement in national education
which is now slowly but surely TAX
ing place in all of our great schools
and colleges. The following is quot
ed from The Journal of Latrobe,"
which the Appletons published last
year. The extract Is dated 1898:
American citizens may be d.
yided into three classes-cultivators
of the soil, artisans, and merchants.
OF the practical sciences, the first
have most occasion for a knowledge
of chemistry. natural history, and
natural philosophy; the second, of
those branchebs of mathematics usu-
ally called mechanics Cor materia
a%pplicata), and the third, OF mineral
mathematics. To each a general
range of science is highly useful, but
these ought, in my opinion. to be the
leading subjects of education in an
American seminary. They may be
acquired without the knowledge of
Latin or Greek, although an &C
quaintance with these beautiful lam
guages will greatly ease the mem
DRY In retaining the technical vocab-
ulary and assist In compromising
precise meaning of terms, most OF
which are taken from them"

LITTLE EXCITEMENT.
"HoId Up" Element Has Been HeIegated
90 the Rear By the Candidates
For Mayor.

Unless things take a decided change
during the next day or two, the pres
ent municipal campaign will 90 down
in history rs one of the tamest eve
h Id in MaTtinsburg. Although the
election is Gully a week off, there is
not the slightest excitement over the
contest. and with the exception of
sporadic hits Of activity on tie part
of two or three OF the candidates for
council, there is apparently nothing
being done by any one directly inter
ested in the election.
OF course. the candidates for mayor
are dong a little in a quiet way to
advance their chances of election, but
there is nc aggressive canvass being
made by either. One particularly
gratifying feature of the campaign
has been the refusal Of these gentle
men to be "held mp" by a certain
element that looks upon a candidate
for office as legitimate prey,7 and
which has heretofore been persistent
and insistent in its demands for money
and whisky. The elimination of this
has so far made the fight a decent
one. and will probably ssrve to place
thessresult in the hands of those xho

election.
There is little on the surface to in
dictate the trend of the fight. The
CITY, normally, is very close, and
while of late years there has been .
growing disposition toward independ-
ence in municipal politics on the part
of certain voters. these voters have
little to say and seem to be satisfied
to allow matters to take their natural
course. The election will resolve itself
into this-that ii the people are salts.

Mnch-Traveled Cask.

Two Of the drift casks which were
set loose in Behring Sea at the insti-
cation of President Henry G.. Bryant
of the Geographical Society of Phila-
delphia and of Admiral George w.
Melville some years ago have been
recovered.
One of them was found on the
coast of Iceland, $500 miles from
the point where 1t was cast over
board on the Alaskan coast. In its
tortuous course It proably travelled
1000 miles. Its drift across the Arc
tic Ocean proves once more the ex-
istence of an Arctic current flowing
from Behring Sea across the North
Pole region,
Fifty spindle-shaped casks were
constructed from designs submitted
by Admiral Melville and were sent
north on United States revenue cut
tiers and whaling ships to Behring
Strait and there dropped overheard
in 1899, 1900 and 1901.
Each eask was numbered and
contained a message in four lam
guages, requesting the finder to noti-

PASSING OF THE CHURCH spIHE.
Many of the Recent Ediflces Resem-
bic Public Buildings.

In the old days, when the church
was chiefly regarded as a place in
which to worship on Sunday, the
spire was a perfect, visible symbol
of the character of the building. 1t
was a sign of Gods house, and as
such had It's use, says Leslie's
Weekly. Aside from this the spire
had a bell, and, perhaps, a clock.
Now, how changed The rapid COM
mercial progress OF the era has
shown no sentimental regard for
homes, churches, or anything else.
The Baptists Of late seem to have
taken the most united move to get
away from the spire and all that 1t
means, but they are going to the
other extreme. Many of their new
churches look like public buildings,
and some resemble q Cairo mosque.
The Methodists, while doing away
with the spire, have compromised In
many instances on a tower.
The Norman and English Gothic,
or perpendicular Gothic has come
into high favor in city churches. This
style is at once dignihed and full of
strength because Of its massiveness.
One Of the strangest looking
churches In New York City is to be
that of the Harlem Presbyterian. 1t
Is strictly Oriental at every point,
%startingly Byzantine from its front
elevation four stories high, to the
gilded dome and color effects. The
necessity for institutioralism knows
no law except available room. One
church In %Pittsburg, recently COM
pleted, has fifty-two rooms in the
edifice. The cost of the spire has
gone into the interior.

TO PROTECT IRA YELLING MEN.
IL PORTANT BILL INTRODUCED By
SENATOR ELKINs.
Statesmen TO BE Made Preferred Creditors
" hen Debtors Go Int
Bankruptcy.

Washington, d. G. Nav %. -Sen-
ator Elkins has introduced a bill of
more than ordinary interest to travel
ing men. It provides that travelling
statesmen shall be entitled to be pre-.
ferred creditors under the bankruptcy
law. These men are not in a position
to look after their interests when a
detter goes info bankruptcy, aud have
not the advantages for knowing the
immediate financial condition of a
customer that others have. This mat
ter was brought to the attention of
Senator Elkins, and so impressed was
he with the justice of this cause of
the travelling men that lie stated that
he would not only cooperate with
Others in irving to get such an amend
ment through the senate, but that he
would introduce a bill affording this
relieve and would give his best efforts
to secure a prompt consideration of
the matter by the senate. The nation
al Headquarters of the travelling sales
men association is at Wheeling, and
there are thousands of drummers in
West Virginia who will profit by the
passage of the bill.
