CHOICE OF TWO EVILS.
Request That Was by No Means :
Compliment fer Papa.

A New York scientist, the father OF
a large and growing family, has his
troubles. One evening his youngest
was holding forth in her best style.
The mother could do nothing with the
child. so the man OF science went to
the rescue.
"I think I can quiet little Flora" he
said. There's no use humming to her
in that silly way. What she wants is
real music. The fact that | used TO
sing in the Glee club at Yale and sang
well, too. may make a difference
Accordingly, the professor took the
child and. striding up and down the
room. sang in his best manner. He
had not finished the second verse Of
his song, when ring was heard The
door was opened, and there stood n
girl Of IA. who said:
I'm one OF the family that's Just
moved into the nat next TO yours
There's a sick person with us, and he
says. II it's all the same TO you. would
you mind letting the baby cry instead
Of singing to it?"-Success.

WON FURLoUeH FOR JEGMs.
Artless Appeal That Touched the
Heart Of jefferson Davis.

Humor lightens everything, even
grim war. Jefferson Davis, with all
the weight of a losing cause on his
shoulders, could yet spare time to ap-
preciate and respond to an artless ap-
peal. The incident is related by Capt
Sutherland. Among the numerous pa
pers received by the confederate pres
ident. the following turned up one
day:
Dear Mr.. Presldent--I want you to
let Jeems c. OF Co. onth, 5th South
Carolina Regiment come home and
get married. Jeems is willin', but
Jeems Capt'in he amt willin'. Now
when we all are willin' 'cept Jeems
Capt'in, l think you might let up and
let Jeems come. III make him go
straight back when he's done got mar
ried and fight hard as ever.

that Mr.. Davis wrote his directions in
regard TO the matter on the back Of

Cure by cutieura Remedies.

MY son, who is now twenty-five
years of age, when four months old
began to have eczema on his face,
spreading quite rapidly until he was
nearly covered. The eczema was some
thing terrible, and the doctors said IL
was the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. used many
kinds of patent medicines, to no avail.
A friend teased me to try Cuticura.
At last l decided TO try Cuticura when
my boy was three years and four
months old, having had eczema all that
time and suffering untold misery. I
began to use all three Of the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
months; in six months he w~s we'll.

Generations Gust Miners.

The Klondike proper-tnat is, that
portion of the Yukon territory in the
vicinity of Dawson-as far as the in
dividual miner is concerned. is on a
rapid decline owing to the immense
area of ground being acquired by
dredging companies. One company
alone has purchased nearly all the
placer ground on the three principal
creeks, namely: Bonanza. Eldorado
and Hunker, and has bonded consid-
erably more on Dominion ard other
creeks for various reasons. Where
formerly hundreds of miners were
working for wages or working their
own ground, thus creating demand
for provisions, clothing, machinery,
hardware, etc. and the transportation
from Dawson to the different mining
operations, now dredges are either op-
Grating or in course of construction

Ingenious But Not Inventive.

Women have great ingenuity in
adapting Cd contrivances to new ends,
but little power for inventions. The
patent Office at Washington contains,
TO be suro, many models from femi-
nine hands, some useful and some fan
tastic. For example, one woman who
wished TO combine gardening and poul-
try-raising invented an anti-scratching
appliance for the feet of her hens; but
it is TO be feared the condition of the
feathered flock suffered from lack OF
their customary relish of worms. Most
Of the popular and effective convent
ences of personal and domestic life
have been made by men. A woman
can do more things with hairpin
than man could ever accomplish. She
will pick lock, extract a bean from
a bebys ear or nose, run string into
a curtain. hang a picture or button her
boots with the useful hairpin. But in
spite of the frantic demand for prac-
ticable pocket, she has not invented
one; and she still washes and wipes
by hand the family dinner di2hes. A
woman's ability to make the best OF
things as they are is a distinct charac-
teristic of the sex, says Youths Com
panion. II would be sadly missed if it
were to be supplanted by even a high
order of original inventiveness. For
this easy, rapid adaptation Of made
quate means to desired ends is applied
by a woman not only to the machinery
of the household but to the human
forces among which she lives. The in
genious wife adapts even a clumsy
husband and an inexperienced cook to
the production of domestic harmony.

Wonderful EnaInesrIna Work.

The admirable accuracy of the work
OF civil engineers OF the best class is
shown in the wonderfully slight devi-
alton of the great Simplon tunnel from
the calculations of the men who
planned 1t and executed the work.
The tunnel is 1216 miles long. 1t

The extraordinary popularity of fine

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great inn
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result Of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods

Some of the justices of the lower
