PENMANSHIP A FINE ART.
Typewriting Has Not Driven Hand
Work from the Field.

There is a renaissance in penman-
ship, despite the speedy comforts OF
the typewriters. Ten years ago it prob
ably would not have occurred to any
one to show a page of manuscript at
any exhibition; to-day pages or books
of script form a feature of every show
which takes to itself the name of arts
and crafts. Some of the work is in
Roman capitals, but the form of letter
usually adopted is the unciel or half
unciel. Apparently all the writer's
have founded themselves in these
models. Within these last few years
not only has the art attracted a good
deal of attention, but it has become
quite the rage, SO that in some circles
it creates no more surprise now to
learn that an amateur is taking les
sons in script than it would have done
some years back to be told that he or
she had taken to poker work. From
n viewpoint it Is difficult to say
where writing ends and illustration
begins, but though in the recent re-
vival the two arts naturally have gone
hand in hand, the scribe and the illum-
inator are not necessarily and the
same person. Some of the illumina-
lions show most elaborate and minute
figure decoration, SO delicate in color
ing and so refined in treatment that
1t challenges comparison with the best
of old work.

TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent ply
stefan for an obstinate case of &C.
zema, I resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies, and was so well pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble.
I'm July OF this year a little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
a mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticurn Ointment. and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent. In
about three weeks his hands and
arms healed up. So we have lots of
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu
ticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Liz

Aoed African EXPLORER,

While many of the great explorers
of Africa-among them Barth, Speek,
Livingstone, Burton, Rohlfs, Nachti-
gal, Stanley-have passed away, one
of the pioneers, George Schweinfurth,
celebrated his SEVENTEEN birthday a
few weeks ago in perfect health, and
as eager for work as ever. When
he first visited Africa, in 1863, even
the Nile regions were largely terra in
cognita. He explored the Delta, the
deserts, the region between the Nile
and the Red sea; he learned Arabic,
and oon became so acclimated that
Africa seemed his real home-a para
disc compared to Europe, with its
"wretched, insufferable civilization"
Thus it was that he felt himself drawn
deeper and deeper into the Dark con-
tinent. His Heart of Africa" appear
ed in 1874, and was promptly trans
lated into all the European languages.
His later works attracted less atten.
ton, as they were addressed chiefly
to %savants. In recent years he has
devoted much time to the preparation
of charts of the Eastern desert of
Egypt. Many of his papers have ap-
peared in the periodical of the Berlin
Geographical society and the Zeit-
schift fur ~Ethnologie. Although his
speciality has beer botany, he has made
many important contributions to an
thropology, among the more recent
ones being an attempt to throw a
light on Egyptian antiquity and or
igins by the aid of the botanical con
tents of old tombs.

TWO FIREMEN MEET DEATH
AMMONIA FUMES OVERCOME
ELEVEN OTHERS
and Rescue Captain From
Cellar

New York-Two firemen were
killed and eleven others rendered un
conscious by fumes at a fire Wednes
day in a basement of an Eighth avenue
building. The condition of two Others
is serious.
The dead are Adam Damn and
Harry f. Baker. But for the heroic
work of three rescuing parties the
death list would have been larger
Damn and Baker had carried a pipe
through the basement and into an
opening leading to a subcellar, when
they called for water pressure. When
other firemen reached the men to as.
sist in directing the hose upon the
blaze. Damn ane Baker were not to
be seen. Ammonia fumes poured up
through the hole and filled the base
ment.
The fire had melted the coupling OF
one of the ammonia pipes connecting
with the cold storage plant on the mar.
ket. Rescuing parties were formed and
Damn and Baker were carried up
from the hole with difficulty. They
died soon afterward. Each of the res.
cuers succumbed on reaching the out
err air. Roll call revealed the fact that
Capt. Bernard Carlock was down in
the hole, where he had gone in search
of victims of the fumes and he was
brought to the surface. 1t is believed
that he will recover. The fire loss will
be about $4,000.

Berliners are congratulating them
selves on the gradual disappearance
of their second-class cabs and the
multiplication of ~auto-cabs. The latest
count showed that of the cabs of all
kinds, 7,713 altogether, SOB were al
tomobiles. All of these are in such
great demand that their receipts often
rise to SIS a day, and never fall below
five dollars. They are allowed to
charge eve cents more than ordi-
nary cabs. The number of auto-om-
nibuses was 947, as against 3,343
street cars. These ominbuses make
almost as good time as the auto-cabs
Accidents rarely happen, largely ow-
ing to the abundant supply of police
men. At the Potsdamer Platz alone
there arc IA of them, and they have
very little to do, their mere presence
making the drivers and chauffeurs
careful to observe the ordinances.

kits vs. Trousers.

A Scot has written for the London
Journals an argument in favor of
wearing kits, especially in cold
weather. A fashionable physician of
London supports his argument, and
the Tailor and Cutter admits that
the streets would be made more pic
t~uresque, furthermore the kilt would
put an end to ~"baggy-kneed trousers.
A pair of trousers that bag at the
knees is indeed a loathsome object.
The question of wearing kits is
not one of leg exposure to the cold
of winter, nor is it one of compare
tive durability and economy i'll ma
terial. It is chiefly a question OF
legs, remarks Boston Herald. The
Psalmist said of the Lord: He
taketh not pleasure in the legs
of a man." Nevertheless, civilized
man, a vain thing, vainer than the
average woman, is conscious OF his
legs. They must be sculptured If the
kilt is to be donned. Thackeray's
marquis of F~larintosh appeared at
Partisan court balls in his uniform of
the Scotch archers or in his native
Glenlivat tartan, and he thought there
was no handsomer young nobleman;
but look at Doyle's picture of him,
and 10, he was a sight. We may all
be deceived in this respect. The
most b~ow-legged may fondly imagine
that his left at least is a poem. There
are eminent statesmen, judges, phil
anthropists who, Killed, would appear
as inconsiderable beings, things of
naught, yet they may rise superior
to baggy trousers or even to those
worn at half-maSt.

Model Experimental Farm.

The Mississippi Industrial Exposition
Company is preparing an extensive ex-
perimental and demonstrative farm or
plat on the exposition grounds at Jack
son. On this plat, which consists of about
ten acres of good, fertile soil, the expert
ments will be made, and all who visit
the fair next fall will be able to see and
take note for themselves. 1t is intended
to- experiment and demonstrate with a
dozen varieties of cotton, and also corn,
as well as other staple crops, and half
acre plats will be used, some with and
some without fertilizer, and others with
medium amount, and, in fact, cultural
methods of all sorts, including the most
approved and successful, will be followed.

Prison Population.

Secretary Brown, of the Prison Board
of Trustees, has completed the report
covering the population of the State pen
i~tentiary for the month ended February
26. The number of convicts or hand at
the end of January was 1921, and that
for February was 1875, a difference of
six in favor of February. There were re-
ceived during February 43 convicts, which
made the gross total handled for the
month and to be accounted for 1854.
The deduction account shows that "a
were discharged, 4 %pardoned, 9 escaped
and 2 died, giving a total clearance of
40 for the month.

STATEMENT FROM SON.
Says He Found Mothers Mental Fac

Deadwood, South Dakota.-When
shown the dispatch regarding the suit
filed in Concord, N. H., George c..
Glover, son of Mrs. Eddy, said: This
suit was brought in a spirit of the
greatest kindness and respect to
mother, and is not a reflection upon
either her or the Christian Science re-
ligion. When I visited mother at Con-
cord in January, l soon found that
her mental faculties were so far i'm
paired that she could not attend to
financial affairs, or give any intelli-
gent direction to any business of hers
which might be of Importance. All
her business is necessarily conducted
by persons surrounding her at Con-
cord and in charge Of affairs at Bos-
ton. They are under no real RESPONSE
bility to her for what they are doing.
I felt it my duty as her son to take
action for her protection and that Of
her property"
