Art and Happiness.

Artists are not as class the happi- est of mortals, but that is because they fail to relate the ideal rationally to life rather than because they are VOW ed to standards of perfection. Unhap piness comes upon them as it would upon any one else-in consequence of folly and indifference and willfulness- and their devotion to art. which Is of ten held to be the cause of their mis- fortunes. is in reality the only mitigat ing factor in their lives.-Bliss Carman i'll Craftsman.

John Knox, Prophet.

John Knox. the reformer. would
seem TO have possessed In no ordinary

certain remarkable events OF public
Importance, but also the ultimate fate
OF certain individuals. Thus when con.

took his sentence with the greatest
composure, merely remarlting that In
spite OF II he would within two or
three years. preach the Gospel In st.

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

Last year. after having my little
girl treated by very prominent ply.
sician for an obstinate case of eczema,
I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was SO well pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip-
tion and relied entirely on the Cuti.
cura Soap. Cuticura Ointment, and Gu
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies 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 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, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas.

IDENTIFYING "U. s." ANIMALS.
System Of Branding Authorized by
the Army Regulations.

Whenever you see the letters "U.
s." branded on the left fore shoulder
OF an animal make up your mind at
once that that beast is or was at one
time the property of our rich old
Uncle SAM" says the Washington
Post.
Then. again, II you know the key
to the system of branding utilized
by the quartermaster's department,
U. s. A., you would in moment be
able to tell the organization of the
army to which that animal was as.
signed Immediately after purchase by
the government.
Last October, when the army of
Cuban pacification was being en-
barked from Newport News, Va, many
of the army horses and mules await
ing shipment became mixed with
those of other organizations, but it
only needed the knowledge OF Sergt.
Casey to decipher the hoof brands and
dispatch the animals to their proper
organizations. In other words, these
brands serve as Identification tags"
Branding public animals is not a
matter Of choice, but is provided for
by the army regulations, which directs
that public animals shall. upon the
day received, be branded with the let
ters u. s. on the left fore shoulder.
Horses assigned to organizations will
also be branded on the hoof of one
forefoot, one and one-half inches be-
low the cronet, with the designation
OF the company. Branding irons Of
uniform size and design will be sup.
piled by the quartermaster's depart
ment. Letters u. s. to be two inches
in height Letters and numbers of
hoof brands on the same line to be
three-fourths of an inch high, the let.
ter to precede the number, and blocked
so as to penetrate the hoof one-six-
teenth OF an inch. For example, the
hoof brands on horses assigned to
band. Ninth cavalry, would be CB9;
to troop A, Fifth cavalry, would be
A5; to Company A, battalion of en-
gineers, would be BEA."

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
