FURIOUS HUMoR ON CHILD.

Nothing Helped Her-cutlcura
Cures Her in Five Days.

after my granddaughter of about
seven years had been cured of the
measles, she was attacked about a
fortnight later by furious itching and
painful eruption all over her body,
especially the upper part of it, forming
watery and bleeding sores, especially
under the arms, Of considerable size.
She suffered great deal and for three
weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think
of. Nothing would help. We tried the
Cuticura Remedies and after twenty
four hours we noted considerable i'm
provement, and after using only one
complete set of the Cuticura Remedies,
in five consecutive days the little one,
much to our joy, had been entirely
cured, and has been well for a long
time. Mrs. F. Ruefenacht, r. F. d. No.

NOTHING HID FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps in Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperor's interest In
everything that goes on in the world
is we'll known, but few are aware OF
the trouble he takes to keep in touch
with current affairs. According to a
Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads
at least three papers every day, chang
ing the list several times a week in
order to become fully acquainted with
the ideas of all political parties in the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs, as
well as that of the interior has to pro-
vide newspaper cuttings, properly
named and dated, and pasted on slips
ready for the emperors perusal.
These he carefully reads, making mar
ginal notes as he goes along, and they
are then scrupulously classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer
ence. Often, too, the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects in which for the
time he is specially interested.

STRIKING RESULTS.

The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press
of a few days since contains account
of the success that followed the eff
forts of William Knowles, an English
man who located near Winnipeg, Man
itCba. This is but one of many let
ters giving experiences of settlers,
and should be encouraging to those
who are looking about for new
home in which they may better their
conditions. The following is a copy
of the article referred to:
William Knowles. who cultivates
some twelve acres of land just below
Middlechurch ferry on east side Of the
Red River has probably as fine dis
play OF horticultural products as any
in Manitoba. The whole of his hold
ing is in high state of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid
vegetable specimens, which have for
tunately escaped damage by hail, al
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within few miles. The
potatoes are wonderful crop, and he
expects to raise 1900 bushels from
his patch of Az acres. A half dozen
of tubers selected yesterday average
more than pound each. Adjoining
the potatoes may be seen marvellous
collection of tomatoes. There are 600
plants, all growing under an enor-
nous weight of fruit. One single
stock picked yesterday contained
eighteen tomatoes and weighed four
pounds. This extraordinary example
of marvellous growth, together with
some Of the potatoes were sent to the
Free Press office.
The proprietor was the first in
town with several specimens, includ-
ing green corn. The season has been
favorable for onions, and one square
patch of nearly an acre is looking re-
markably healthy. In addition there
are good crops of cabbages, caulihow-
er, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump
kins, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas,
lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de-
partment has not been neglected and
a charming display of all the well
known blooms were shown, including
a specially choice lot of asters.
Mr. Knowles, who gained most Of
his gardening experience in England,
is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil
for vegetable raising, and is gratifled
with the result of his first attempt at
extensive horticulture.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great.

Too Early?

Many plans for airships are in
the air; whether the vessels them
selves will ever get there remains
to be seen. The history of inven-
ton teaches us that the word sim.
possible" applies to very few
problems which the genius attacks.
On the other hand we must re-
member that for every practical
invention there are hundred in-
effective ones. Airship builders
of today may be interested in the
story of an aerial locomotive which
was to eclipse that designed to run
upon rails. 1t was to have a frame
$50 feet long by 80 feet wide, COW
cred with silk, and a tail 80 feet
long. 1t was actually patented.
A review thought at the time that
it would require a bold man to
mount it, with body stretching
for many yard, with tail lifted
far aloft, with wings of copper
like revolving shields, and with
fire and smoke issuing from its
head. London Standard.

Losses to Wage Farmers.

Notwithstanding that the people
of small and moderate means are
largely responsible for the savings
banks deposits in this country,
amountingto about S3. 500, 900, 900,
i, is reasonable to conclude
that t b Gus sands 8 upon thous'
ands of dollars are being placed in
good faith by investors of small
means in these so-calIed eight per
cent. to fifty per cent. investments.
Guided by the light as they see it,
or as they are led to believe is the
best way to safeguard their sur
plus funds, they continue to suffer
the heavy losses which inevitably
result. In addition, there is the
great loss to wage earners and
others, who would derive untold
benefits if such money were EN-.
ployed in creating and developing
meritoriou sand honestly conduct ed
enterprises.
The dishonest promoters could
tell the Investment bankers and
great corporations of this country
some startling truths concerning
the magnitude of the investing
power of people of small means
taken as Il whole. This is evidenc
eel hy the great sums of money OK
pended for advertising and pub
Iicity by such promoters. Lool

In view of the fact that unseas-
enable frosts do damage to fruit
growing interests climbing up into
the millions that human ingenuity
has not directed some effort to-
wards overcoming such costly
visitations. An occasional expert
ment of building brush fires on the
north side of orchards when a
heavy frost was prevailing is said
to have been efficatious in such in
stances in saving the fruit. This
is the idea to be followed, and it
would seem that a steam boiler
plant with radiating pipes run
along the north and west sides of
the orchards would have pretty
much the same effect that brush
fires have. OF course only large
orchards would Justify such an un-
dertaking.
