FEARFUL BURNING SORES.
Boy in Misery 12 Years-Eczema, In Rough Scales, Itching and h.
 flamed-Cured by Cuticura.

T wish to inform you that your wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery l passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it became Dur ing the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inf1amed, and badly swol- len, with terrible burning and itch ing. When 1 think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard downstairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. One doctor told me that my sons eczema was incurable, and gave it up for bad job. One evening saw an article in the paper about the wonder full Cuticura and decided to give it a trial I tell you that Cuticura Ointment is worth it's weight in gold, and when I had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time l had used the second set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint- ment, and Cuticura Resolvent, my child was cured. He is now twelve years old and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Stein man, Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 1905."

HISTORICAL LANDMARK OF PARIS
 WILL BE TORN DOWN.
Prison of St. Lazare, Where St. Vim cent de Paul Died, Now Moral Plague Spot - Was Sacked
 During Revolution.

Paris.-The famous prison of St. Lazare one of the great historic land marks of Paris, is about to be pulled 5 down, and what for some years has been moral and physical plague spot will give way to fine, open squares and commodious dwellings. Ronlantic and tragic memories cling about the old structure St. Lazare, as it's name indicates, was at first lepers' hospi- tai built at the end of the eleventh century on the site of basilica dedi- cated to St. Laurent. It sprung rap idly into fame, for kings used ire quently to visit it in token of humili- ty and faith
 In 1882, leprosy having practically disappeared in France the hospital was handed over to St. Vincent de Paul. who established there number of priests of his mission known as the congregation of St. Lazare. St. Vincent himself died at St Lazare, and his cell is still shown to visitors with two stones worn hollow by the knees of the saint St. Vincents suc- cesSorS neglected the work commence ed by him and the house was turned into a sort of reformatory for insub. ordinate priests and unruly sprigs of nobility for whom their parents had secured "lettres de cachot.'
 The Lazarists having stored large quantities of provisions in view of a possible famine the mob of Paris sacked the establishment on July 13, 17S9, the eve of the storming of the Bastille, and released 40 prisoners.
 During the terror many "ci-devants" were confined there before being tried by the revolutionary tribunal. It was from St. Lazare that Andre Chenier was led to the guillotine. After the revolution the surrounding lands were sold and built upon, St. Lazare itself remaining prison, but only women were confined there.

 TO RAZE A NOTED PRISON.

Many celebrated female offenders have been lodged at St. Lazare while awaiting trial, among them the fam ous Mme. Humbert.
 From the hospital which adjoins the prison a long subterranean passage leads to the plain of St Denis and in 1871 a number of federals escaped from Paris through this tunnel.
 Of recent years the prison has been used solely for the confinement of the pitiful outcasts of society who are gathered in from the streets and boulevards of Paris.

NERVOUS HEADACHES
Dr. Williams Pink Pills Will Cure Most Cases and Should Interest
 Every Sufferer.


 Nobody who has not endured the suffering caused by nervous head ache can realize the awful agony of its victims. Worst of all, the ordin- ary treatment cannot be relied upon to cure nor even to give relief. Some doctors will say that if a person is subject to these headaches there is nothing that can be done to prevent their recurrence.
 Nervous headaches, as well as neu. ralgia, are caused by lack of nutrition the nerves are starved. The only way to feed the nerves is through the blood and it is in this way that Dr. Williams Pink Pills have accom- plished so many remarkable cures.
 Mrs. Addie Merrill, of 39 Union Street, Auburn, Me, says: For years I suffered from nervous head aches, which would come on me every five or six weeks and continue for several days The pain was so severe that I would be obliged to go to bed for three or four days each time. It was particularly intense over my right eye. 1 tried medicines but got no re- lief. 1 had no appetite and when the headache passed away l felt as if I had been sick for a month. My blood was thin and l was pale, weak and reduced in weight.
 q read about Dr. Williams Pink Pills in a paper and decided to try them. I first noticed that they be. gan to give me an appetite and commenced to gain in weight and color. My headaches stopped and have not returned and I have never felt so well as I do now"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes s2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medi- cine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Thinks Little of Chinese Army.

Dr. Morrison, the well-known core spondent of the London Times at Pe- king, went to see the recent maneu- vers of the modernized Chinese army in the neighborhood of Chang-te-fu He describes them as repetition of the performance of 1905-a set piece carefully prepared long beforehand by number of Japanese advisers. The inefficiency of the officers is still con spicuous and the field training of the men inadequate, but the material is good. Dr. Morrison hints that with out Japanese officers to direct affairs the contending armies would have been little better than a rabble.

THE WHITE PLAGUE
SYSTEMATIC WARFARE WAGED
 TO WIPE OUT CONSUMPTION.
Warning That Intemperance Increases the Liability to Contract Disease Neglected Colds Prolific
 Source,

Organized effort is now being made throughout the United Stated to fight consumption A warning is given against intemperate habits. which in crease the liability to consumption, while splitting is public places is de- precated, as the disease is frequently contracted from dried sputum.
 Colds should not be neglected, as they leave the lungs in a peculiarly receptive condition for the tuburcu- lar germ. The following simple for mula will break up cold in twenty four hours. A leading authority on lung trouble says that when pre- pared from pure ingredients, it will cure any cough that is curable.
 Take half ounce Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure); two ounces glycerine and half pint good whisky. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses every four hours.
 The ingredients can be secured from any good prescription druggist at small cost, and to avoid substitution should be purchased separately and mixed in your own home.
 Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up in half-ounce vials for dispensing. Each vial is securely sealed in a round wooden case, with engraved wrapper, with the name-Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure), prepared only by Leach Chemical Co.,, Cincinnati, o. plainly printed thereon. There are many rank limitations of Virgin Oil of Pine {Pure), which are put out under various names, such as Concentrated Oil of Pine, Pine Balsam, etc. Never accept these as substitute for the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they will invariably produce nausea and never effect the desired result

home, where he spends all of his time when not travelling about the country One of the most interesting rooms is filled with the skeletons of former glory, which he has gathered together from every direction. In one corner is an apparent pile of iron junk, but from this will come an ancient clock of majestic proportions. Bits of bro ken china almost worth it's weight in gold will be cunningly glued together Battered pewter sets will be ham mered into shape again.
 In the next room may be seen the objects ready for the finishing touches.
 As soon as he finishes an article MT Smith stores it in his rooms upstairs. Here several rooms are filled with beautiful pieces of furniture, precious china brought over from the old country many years ago, pewter plates and platters cherished by the thrifty Puritan housewife, as we'll as the many curious implements used in those days.
 The most valuable thing in the shop is a clock which MT. Smith picked up several years ago in farmhouse away back on the hills. The children had, played with the works until they were almost beyond repair, and the case was about to be consigned to the woodpile. It's exact age is not known, but it is certain that it was brought to Walpole by one of the early pion- eers. John Kilburn, about 1750. This clock is especially valuable to the town. as MT. Kilburn was prominent ly connected with it's early history. It is MT. Smiths intention to present it to the library of Walpole.
 MT. Smith has several high-boys, bu- reaus and desks brought from Holland and England fully 150 years ago, some of which are beautifully carved and inlaid. A picture embroidery made before the revolution is another valu- able relic. as is flintlock pistol cap tured from British officer in the bat tie of Bennington by one of the an cestors of a prominent family near here. Other ancient firearms, includ- ing a sword from the battle of Bunk CT Hill, are numerous.
 In china MT. Smith has several rare pieces of old Dedham ware which are estimated to be at least 125 years old.

 Washington.-The coast artillery bill which is now being considered by the senate provides for an increase during the next five years of 296 off cers of all grades and an increase of 5,043 in the number of coast artillery men. together with an increase of 858 field artillerymen.
 The number of electrician sergeants is increased from 100 to 148. These 100 electrician sergeants now draw $34 per month each, with allowances. The 148 provided for in the bill are divided into two classes; "A of them will draw $35 per month and "A will draw $45 per month each. allowances being made for both classes.

Narrative in the Drama.

Prof. George Pierce Baker of Harvard
University, In the January Reader
Magazine.
1t is surprising that a novelist rarely
writes really good play? The trouble is
they insist that without special prepara-
ton or study of the technique of the
drama they should be able to write plays
as successful as their novels. Study of
narrative In the drama merely illustrates
what any careful study of the drama
re-emphasizes again and again: that 1t is
an art apart from the novel with a tech
nique of its own. That technique too. Is
exceedingly difficult. Only to him who
learns It, however, in spite of its diff
Guilty, can permanent success come as a
dramatist
Narration on the stage is, briefly, al
ways restricted by the time limit for per-
Torrance, approximately two hours and>a
half, and by the fact that the dramatist
must always speak through his charac-
tiers and in character, never In his own
person. These are the two great causes
for the difference between narrative on
the stage and in the novel.
Narrative in play is OF two kinds, the
essential, that is the story which lies at
the core Of the play, and the incidental,
given by this or that character in a par
ticular scene. But merely to tell a story
is not to write play. To do that one
must present as compactly as possible
a sequence Of emotional situations which
express themselves in stirring or anus
ing action. Three words in that sentence
can not be too strongly emphasized, emo
tional situations and action. From the
essentially of emotional situations and
action in plays arises the conflict be
tween simple narrative and good dra
matte dialogue. AS one passes from the
earliest forms of the English drama to
Io.%
years, one notes an evolution from crude
and undramatic to highly dramatic but
more and more disguised narrative. To-day
narrative on the stage is often SO masked
by characterization, dialogue, or even att
mosphere that an auditor quite overlooks
the fact that he is listening to narrative
essential to the whole plot or to under
standing of the scene In question That
is, the best narrative in drama Is both
complicated and. SO to speak. disguised.
