Old French Dial Ring.

"A dial ring" said the curio deal
err. "a French dial ring of the eigh-
teenth century. You can. tell the
time with it."
The ring, of gold, was beautifully
chased, and where the stone sparkles
usually there was set tiny sundial.
''All you have to do" said the
dealer, lis to stand in the right way,
holding the dial SO that the sun
strikes it, and tiny shadow will tell
you the hour.
"Snch ring" he continued, lis
more curio than an accurate time
piece. 1t is only good in the locality
it is made for, and even there, unless
it is set toward the right point of the
compass, it will be several hours out
of the way" - Louisville Courier

BABYS ECZEMA GREW WORSE.

IL Speedy, Permanent Cure.

Eczema appeared when our baby was
three months old. We applied to several
doctors and hospitals, each of which gave
us something different every time, but moth
ing brought relief. AT last, one of our
friens3 recommended to us Cuticura Soap
and Cutieura Ointment. A few days after
wards Improvement could be noted. Since
then we have used nothing but Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six months old and is quite cured.
All that we used was one cake of Cuticura
Soap and two boxes Cuticura Ointment,
costing in all $l25 G. f. Kara, 343 East

Candlepower Of Modern Lighthouses.

A comparison has recently been
made of the power of the lights in
French lighthouses at various periods
in the past thirty-five years. In 1874,
when only oil lights were used, the
highest power was equal to $4,000
candles. In 1882, when the electric
light was introduced, the power rose
to a maximum of $4,000 candles.
Since then frequent improvements
have been made in the electric lights
until, at present, the most powerful
lighthouses project an illumination
nearly equal to 100000 candles.
