ECZEMA COVERED BABY.
Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw--Suf.
fered Untold Misery Perfect
Cure by Cuticura 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 something terrible, and the
doctors said it was the worst case they ever
saw. at times his whole body and face
were covered, all but his feet. l used many
kinds of patent medicines to no avail. At
last l decided to try Cuticura, when my boy
was three years and four months old, hav.
ing had eczema all that time and suffering
untold misery. ] began to use all three
of the Cuticura Remedies. BE was better
in two months; in six months he was well.

The Largest Animal,

The sulphur bottom or blue whale,
as it Is better called by the Norwe-
gians, is not only the largest living
animal, but the largest that has ever
lived, reaching a length Of eighty
feet or very rarely a little more.
Whales grow much larger than this
in books and newspaper, but in actual
life not one in dozen ever of this
species attains a length of eighty
feet. The popular idea Of whale is
that it is a clumsy animal, but as
shown by models it has the graceful
lines Of yacht. The following fig
ures give an idea Of the size and
weight Of large whale:
Extreme length, 79 feet; circum-
ference at shoulder, 35 feet; fuke
notch to shoulder, 81 feet 2 inches;
tip Of nose to eye, 16 feet 2 inches;
length of skull, 19 feet 6 inches;
breadth of skull, 9 feet 8 inches;
weight Of skull, 3 tons; length OF
jawbone, 21 feet; weight of jawbone,
1 ton; length of flipper, 10 feet 6
inches; weight of flipper, $50 pounds;
across flukes, 16 feet inches; weight
of flukes, 1900 pounds; weight of
flesh, 30 tons; weight Of bone, 8
tons; weight of blubber, s tons;
weight Of viscera, estimated, 8 tons;
weight of blood, 2 tons; weight of
whalebone, y ton.
The total weight Of whale Is
about sixty tons, and unusually large
and fat individuals must reach at
least sixty-five tons. The largest ami
NAL of the past so far discovered is
the great dinosaur brontosaurus, and
this big reptile weighed about thirty
eight tons.-Museum News.

college gives culture only through
work, and there are some things COL
leges never can teach. Latin and
art and history and literature are the
decorations of man. Even reading
and writing and the rule Of three are
but conveniences, and these come
only through labor, whether in COL
lege or outside of it.
But these are fundamentals. In
dustry, thrift, courage, good cheer,
fidelity, honesty, truth-these are the
qualities that make eternal the life
of man, and they are had for the
hearing in every labor and calling
open to man. If you have not gotten
these things, though you have gained
the whole world, you have lost your
soul.
1t is not the vocation so much as
it is the way its. work is done. When
you skimp, cheat, slight or sham in
your work, you injure your en-
Dloyer; but you ruin yourself. Every
stitch is a lie woven in your char
acter. Is your work making man
out of you?
The third great requirement is
that your life work shall enable you
to utter a message. Painting merely
to preserve wood or decorate it, is to
he an artisan. Painting to manifest
ideals is to be an artist.
To work at a task for bread or
gold is drudgery, but to find JOY
in your work because through it you
can utter what is in your heart, is in
spring.

Gulf Stream Fruit.

The superiority Of certain English
fruits has It's origin in a cause little
suspected. 1t is the blessed gulf
stream which does it. Foreign grow
ers are every bit as acute as the Eng
fish, 1t may be, but they have not the
right atmosphere. The gulf stream
imparts a benefcent humidity to our
atmosphere which results In our fruit
having the thinnest and finest skins of
any In the world. The English straw
berry is without equal for flavor The
English grape, though 1t may not have
the fine favor of the Spanish, has the
best skin. The French tomato is as
thick skinned as the English field
grown. The English apple eclipses its
rivals because Of its thin skin. Every
fruit according to it's climate. Grown
In different atmosphere, the English
apple would shrlvel In a day; here,
helped by the moisture from the gulf
stream, 1t ripens within the thinnest
of jackets and Is as much superior to
the foreign or colonial apple as a peach
is superior to a parsnip.-St. James

OF CURRENT INTEREST
TURN-ABOUT IS Comfy, TOO.
philadelphia Record.

There is a plausibility about Judge
Pritchard's opinion in the North Car
DINA Rate cases but it fails to carry
conviction. Granting that cumula
tive fines for some thousands of tick
cts sold daily at the forbidden rate
would bankrupt the railroads, and
that the arrest of the ticket sellers
as fast as substitutes could be found
for those arrested for previous viola
lions of the law would result in
blocking the operation of the roads,
these dire consequences could be
avoided without bringing on a con-
fiict of jurisdiction. Suppose, in
stead of defying the law of the State
and asking a Federal Court to save
it from the consequences of such pro-
scribed action, the Southern Rail
way, as did many other railroads of
North Carolina, had obeyed the law p?
If there had been no violation the
penal clauses of the law would not
! have become a menace; there would
have been no fines threatening bank
ruptcy and no arrests to threaten a
ldiscontinuance of operation.
A penal law is not unconstitution-
al because its punitive provisions are
lseyere enough to deter violation; and
that the body of the North Carolina
Rate law, exclusive of the penal
clause, is unconstitutional has not
| yet been determined. Indeed, Judge
Pritchard has no better basis for an
opinion Of this point than the ex-
parte statement of the complaining
railroads. Judge Mcpherson in Mis-
souri, did not think prejudgment OF
the probable effect of a similar law
in that State sufficient to justify him
in granting an injunction against the
| local Courts and prosecuting officers
INSTEAD of doing so, he advised the
Icomplainants who come to him fol
Equitable relief to give the statute q
trial, so that, if the legal rate be
ruinous and, therefore, confisc atory

FEDERAL COURTS AND THE PEO.
PIE.

When even lawyers of high stand
ing differ as to whether or not Judge
Pritchard has exceeded his judicial
powers in his course in the Southern
Railway caseit is gross presumption on
the part of the layman to express an
opinion
Nevertheless it is apparent to the
iayman who goes over many news
papers, Democratic and Republican,
representing all sections of the coun-
try, that there is an ill-concealed
feeling in every quarter that the Fed
eral courts are all too eager to sus-

enactments

If Judge Pritchard had followed

and to the nation at large, if a de
