BUILDS HOUSE WITH CHIPS.
Georgia Doctor Has Unique Idea for

Macon, Ga-The patchwork palace

be the most unique dwelling-house in

city. 1t was to be his own house,
planned and built by himself, after his
own ideas, so he drew the plans in

He made arrangements with the

ing to cart away all the chips and
broken marble. With day laborers he
mixed the cement and marble and up
grew the walls.
With the exception OF the day labor
DR.. Billingslea has done all the work
| on the house. Up to date the material
labor and every expense amounts 10
less than $1,000, and he expects to
complete the building for less than

The building was inspected by In

ment building, whose only criticism
! was that the walls were too strong.

PENNSYLVANIA GIRL ACCEPTS
UNIQUE POSITION IN INDIA.
Miss Mclean, of LaWrenceville, Well
Fitted to Occupy Post-Has OBJ
tanned Degrees from CaIifor-
MIA and Yale Universities.

Lawrenceville, Pat is safe to say
that every woman of artistic taste and
a love for the beauties of the arts of
an ancient civilization will be pleased
at and perhaps enyious of the distinc-
ton which has come to Miss Mary f.
Mclean, who has been appointed tutor
and companion to the wife of the Ma
harajah Gaikwar, of Baroda, India.
Miss Mclean is the daughter of the
late George Mclean, of Lawrence
vile, and is a charming young wom-
an deeply interested in the study of
the occult, and the mysterious phan-
tasmagoria of the Indian rites, as
practiced thousands of years ago.
When the Maharajah and the Ma
harani-which means the little
princess" in this country a
year ago they decided to engage an
American college woman who would
be fitted to relieve her highness of
the fatigue of social duties when oc-
casion required, and to aid her in
such duties. 1t was somewhat of a
task to select one capable of perform
ing such a work of delicate diplomacy
which meant a thorough knowledge of
social customs and a wide familiarity
with the history of India. The Ma
harajah consulted friend in New
York and after an exhaustive inquiry

GREAT COTTON INVENTION.
Machine to Take Fuzz from Seed Will
Effect Ten Per Cent. Saving.

Neutrality-suspicious. of the most i'm
portant devices in the history of cot
ton culture has been perfected by eX-
perts Of the department of agricul-
ture. 1t is machine for the removal
of the fuzz on cotton seed and for the
separation of light from heavy seed.
The process has been in course of
development for about two years, and
1t is the opinion of the cotton experts
of the department that its universal
use would effect saving of about ten
per cent. of the entire cotton crop.
AS the crop of America amounts to
about $3.50, 900 year, it easily can
be realized that such a saving would
,be of vast Importance.
BY the removal of the fuzz from the
cotton seed the seed may be planted
with an ordinary gravity drill. BY the
ease with which the smooth seed can
be manipulated they can be planted
in hills without unnecessary waste
and the plants so located can be titled
in two directions.

TUTOR OF MAHARANI.

Miss Mclean was decided upon as
possessing all the necessary qualifica
tons, with her lovely personality as
kind of bonus.
There are a few young women in
America possessing better educa-
tional equipment for the novel posi-
ton she is to occupy. She went from
here to Oakland, Cal, where she was
graduated from the girls high school
She next entered the University OF
California, from which she was gradu
ated with the degree of bachelor OF
philosophy. This was supplemented
by two years study and travel in
Europe
Returning to America, Miss Mclean
entered Yale university, from which
she obtained the coveted degree of
doctor of philosophy Since that time
she has been engaged in literary work
in New York city until she received
her present appointment, and has re
Gently entered on her duties.
Miss Mclean, who is now in India,
has written to her friends here that
the Maharani is a very beautiful and
intelligent woman. The Maharajah
himself is a graduate of Oxford and
possessed of vast wealth. To the
great disappointment of Miss Mclean
everything about the palace, even to
the rugs and furnishings, is imported
from England. She has had the great
est difficulty in making the people
who are fitting up her bungalow I'M
derstand that she wants everything
Indian, not English.
Her highness is a Brahmin of the
highest caste, dresses in native eos
tune, and wears it's accompanying
veil of Is or 20 yards length.

Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
-Cuticura Cured In 6 Days.

II had eczema nearly fifteen years.
The affected parts were my hands,
arms and legs. They were the worst
in the winter time, and were always
itchy, and l could not keep from
scratching them. / had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night I would have to scratch though
the bandages as the itching was so
severe, and at times 1 would have to
tear everything off my hands to
scratch the skin. l could not rest or
sleep. l had several physicians treat
me but they could not give me a
permanent cure nor even could they
stop the itching. After using the
Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura
Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura
Resolvent for about six days the
itching had ceased, and now the sores
have disappeared, and never felt
better in my life than I do now.
