ICE euARaIep IN rAe Alps.
Swiss communes Make Money Ship.
ping Glaciers.

Washington.-Ice quarrying is a
new industry that has sprung up in
Switzerland, according to a report re-
ceived here by the consular bureau.
While blasting Alpine glaciers threat
ems to destroy some of the magni-
icence of the scenery, Swiss com
munes are making money granting
concessions for quarrying these great
masses of ice for distribution in large
cities of the continent.
According to the information re-
ceived here, large sums have been ex-
pended constructing ice slides, or v
shaped troughs, in which blocks of ice,
often of large size, blasted out Of the
glacier are transported to the vicini-
ty of the stations for conveyance, in
carefully refrigerated cars to Lyon,
and other large cities remote from
the Alps.
The method of blasting with black
c%oloration and soiling of the ice,
and engineering ability displayed
in erecting slides and in pro-
viding sufficient friction by means Of
curves to avoid excessive speed in
the downward journey of the ice
blocks, are spoken of as examples Of
considerable ingenuity and skill.
Glacier ice, which is perfectly pure
and transparent, and which has many
qualities greatly appreciated by con-
lsumers, commands a higher value
than hat of the usual kind obtained
from the surface of frozen ponds or
lakes.
A singular feature in connection
with the preparation of the ice for the
market is that it has been found nee
essary to store it several days in spe-
cial warehouses, formed of a double
thickness of boarding with a stratum
of sawdust interposed, in order to re-
move a coating of frosted or on
transparent ice which tends to form
on the surface of each block as it
leaves the glacier.

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

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, C%uticura 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.
IN 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
Cuticura 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

MOST ANCIENT APPLE TREES.
Planted by spaniards in New Mexico,
They Have Borne Fruit 800 Years.

Ell Paso, Textile oldest apple
orchard in America if not in the world
is in the center of the ancient town
of Manzano, IS miles southwest of
Estancia, Torrance county, New Mex
leo. Many of the trees are more than
six feet in circumference, but all are
still fruitful and vigorous although
neglected for generations. Little is
known of the history of this orchard,
but the Oldest inhabitants of the val
ley of the Rio Grande remember the
orchard from childhood and claim
that the trees have not changed in
appearance since then. Venerable
Mexicans and Pueblo Indians tell of
visiting the orchard as far back as
they can remember and finding apples
on the ground in all stages of decom-
position at least two feet deep.
The Estancia valley has been peo-
pied for ages, probably by the kins-
men of the natives found by the Span
ish explorers at Gran Quivira, Abo
and other ancient cities. Probably in
the early days of the Spanish occupa-
ton some Franciscan monk found his
way to Manzano and there planted the
seeds that have developed into these
venerable trees. They are no doubt
fully 300 years old.
Close by the orchard is a little lake
fed by a large spring. A short dis
lance away is a grove of pines and
cedars, making an ideal place for
picnic and camping parties.

Admired statesman,s stature.

A German journalist visiting in
Washington, himself a man of stall
wart proportions, was rather inclined
to look with something like contempt
on the many understood statesmen he
saw in the national legislature. But
when Secretary Taft bore down upon
him he gasped in wonder. They were
introduced and after a short chat the
secretary departed. Just as he disap.
peared from the Germans admiring

were going to arrest him, or that he
was going to be taken to the insane
