suit from cuticura Remedies.
about the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch l did not
take much notice of it at first, but it
began to get worse all the time, and
then | began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum.
ors; but l became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as l would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and it
was not long before l could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks l would take hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and
kept getting better, and by the time
| used four boxes of Cuticura I was
cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. d. e. Blankenship, 319

Last summer some persons from the
North were spending a month in the
mountains of West Virginia in a leg
cabin on the mountainside. One morn
ing, as they sat on the porch admiring
the views, a little mountain girl in
short blue calico dress and bright pink
sunbonnet bounced round the side OF
the cabin.
"HoWdy!" she said. Nanny wants
to know If you-all don't want a poke

shyness, she darted through the un.
derbrush before the newcomers could
decide whether or not they wanted a
poke of snapples."
The expression got into the sys-
TENS of the visitors, until curiosity
made one of them take her way to the
little farmhouse.

But very gravely the woman disap-
peared, and soon returned, handing
the caller bag Of string beans. The
beans, which snap in the fingers are
called "snapples" by the mountain

word for bag that has survived from

Industrial Future of Mexico.

The prophets foresee in Mexico a
manufacturing country of the first
rank. This because of abundant
hydro-electric power. cheap and un-
organized labor, stability Of climate,
and geographical situation. To these
are added the recent discoveries of
mineral oil or petroleum, and the de-
velopment OF the coal fields Gin the
northwestern sections, which will
supply the required fuel. The amount
Of power in use in Mexico is estimated
as 66.00S indicated horse power steam,
32,147 indicated horse power water,

ing figures. In developing the last

istence or in the course Of construc-
ton which will rank second only to

Disasters were numerous during
1905, though there was no calamity
involving such great loss of life or
such horrors as accompanied the burn
ing of the Iroquois theater at Chicago
in 1903, or of the steamer General Slo-
cum at New York in 1904 Leaving
out of consideration the RussO-Japa-
nese war, the greatest disaster of the
year occurred in Caiabria, Italy, where
400 lives were lost through an earth
quake Sept. 8. Nearly as many deaths
were recorded as due to the collapse
of partially constructed reservoir
near Madrid, Spain. April s.
The most serious disastC, in the
United States was the tornado in
Texas, April 20. At Laredo 100 lives
were lost. A tornado in Oklahoma,
May Il, caused nearly as many deaths
in the town of Sidney. A fire in a
shoe factory at Brocton, Mass, re-
sulting from an explosion, March 20,
also resulted in 100 deaths.
Railroad O accidents probably have
not caused SO many deaths as in 1904,
but several serious ones occurred dur
ing the past year. In a collision on
the Western Maryland railroad. TWEEN
ty-eight miles from Baltimore, June
l, twenty-three persons were killed.
In each of three other wrecks twenty
lives were lost, and two wrecks
caused twelve deaths each.

lives were lost. A gas explosion in a

OF disasters on the water the most
serious was the wreck of the South
