ALMOST A SOLID SORE.
Skin Disease from Birth-Fortune
Spent on Her Without Benefit
Cured Her with Cutcura.

II have a cousin in Rockingham Co.
who once had a skin disease from her
birth until she was six years of age.
Her father had spent fortune on
her to get her cured and none of the
treatments did her any good. Old
DR.. C. suggested that he try the
Cuticura Remedies which he did.
When he commenced to use it the
child was almost solid scab. He
had used it about two months and
the child was well. / was there when
they commenced to use your Cuti-
cura Remedies. I stayed that week
and then returned home and stayed
two weeks and then went back and
stayed with them two weeks longer
and when I went home I could hardly
believe she was the same child. Her
skin was as soft as a baby's with
out scar on it. I have not seen her
in seventeen years, but 1 have heard
from her and the last time heard from
her she was well. Mrs. w. P. Ingle, Bur

ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS.
Travellers Observations Have Proved
That Weeping Is Common.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst,
mule has been seen to cry from the
pain of an injured foot and camels,
it is said. shed tears in streams, says
a writer in Harper's Weekly. A cow
sold by it's mistress who had tended
young soko ape used to cry from vexa-
ton il Livingston didn't nurse it in
his arms when it asked him to.
Wounded apes have diel crying, and
apes have wept over their young slain
by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to
carry water jugs broke one and fell
a-crying, which proved sorrow, though
it wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, dis
covering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears. A giraffe which
a huntsman's rifle had injured began
to cry when approached. Sea lions
often weep over the loss of their
young. Gordon Cummings observed
tears trickling down the face of dy-
ing elephant. And even an orang-
outang when deprived of its mango
was SO vexed that it took to weeping.
There is little doubt, therefore. that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance.

OLD CAPT. cAcK's QUESTION.
Somewhat Pointed, But 1t Denoted
Quick Intelligence.

Pierce Jay. the commissioner OF
banks of Massachusetts, at the Ameri-

in ST. Louis, advocated a better ac-
counting system.
But above all" said Mr.. Jay, in
a discussion of his idea. I'VE want
intelligence, if embezzlement is to be
thoroughly put down. Systems are
good, but intelligence is better, and
In cashiers and tellers and Look
keepers and note clerks we want the
same keen, quick intelligence that
characterized old Capt. Hiram Cack,
of Gloucester.
"Cack lay very i'll. One day he got
down-hearted, feeling that his case
was hopeless.

much hope for me-
'''Oh, yes, there u.s. the doctor an

When He Lost at Poker.

The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar

One of the sources of rheumatism
is from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-

Quence compelling jury to free the
confessed murderer; deprive the coun-
try girl, trudging her way to school,
of the vision of an entire court, includ-

bowling before her loneliness; bar even
the wretched player of golf from con-
juring before the eye of his mind a
perfect game, stroke by stroke, made
with such grace, power and precision
as to be regarded by thousand on
lockers as truly marvellous; rob a
statesman of his mental picture Of
countless generations reverently hold

the anticipation of slipping shyly from
his high chair while the great house
resounds with fitting applause of the

BOWLING IS STRENUOUS WORK.
In Fifty Games a Man Lifts a Total
of Six Tons.

Bowlers declare that it is a more
severe physical strain to bowl fifty
games than to play one game Of foot
ball. 1t does not seem as hard, of
course, to shoot balls down an alley
as to tackle 200 pounds of live beef,
but it is the game that makes the
work easier and the results far more
satisfactory.
The fifty games to be rolled is equal
to 500 frames or innings for each
bowler, in this number of frames, not
figuring the added balls for strikes
in every tenth, there would probably
be an average of 100 strikes. For
strikes the bowling ball is handled
once, and for the 300 spares twice,
total of $40 times that the ball is
sent down the alleys.
A regulation bowling ball weighs 16
pounds. When handled $40 times the
total weight is 13,440 pounds, or more
than six tons.
The time in which the 50-game
match is to be played is variously esti-
mated at from six to eight hours.
Figured at seven hours, which is
about the maximum and conservative
estimate, it will be seen that the bowl
ers handle the weight of nearly seven
tons at the rate of a ton an hour, or
more than 300 pounds every minute.
{ The runway over which the bowler
moves to the foul line is nearly 20
feet in length, and the $40 times in
which each delivers the ball makes a
total of nearly 1900 feet. To this
must be added the further distance
to the ball rack, to the seats of the
| players and possibly to the mahogany
for bowlers have been known to
crook an elbow for other things than
delivering ball-adding enough in
distance to make a grand total OF
more than five miles of pedestrian
work in the seven hours on the alleys.
