FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep Hands, Arms and Legs Affected
 -Cuticura Cured in Days.

T 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 1 could not keep from scratching them. l had to keep both hands bandaged all the time, and at night I would have to scratch through the bandages as the itching was so severe, and at times I would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. l could not rest or sleep. I had several physicians treat me but they could not give me a permanent cure nor even could they stop the itch ing. 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 I never felt better in my life than I do now.

LAPPS 0N DECREASE
REINDEER ALSO GRADUALLY
 GROWING scARcER.
Herd Sold for Strong Drink-Nomad. ie People Rapidly Diminishing, But No Other Natio. Can
 Take Their Place.

Washington.-The Lapps are de. creasing in number. The most san- guine estimate of the numbers of the entire race in Norway, Sweden and Russia does not place them above 54.- 900. By some the number is placed far lower on the strength of trust. worthy data. In Norbotten. the mum. Der of Lapps is 5000, of whom 2,5oO are nomad Lapps and 800 settled. since, a certain number of Lapp fam flies have abandoned their wandering habits, have built habitations here and there. and have endeavored. with more or less success. to initiate the life of the Swedish settler.
 That the race must die out eventu- ally is certain, and it's diminution may be very speedy. though it's complete extinction may be still far off. since there is no race that can possibly take it's place on the high reindeer fjaell. Yet even here We come upon a factor which has, perhaps, hardly been reck- oned with. We mean the decrease of the herds of tame reindeer.
 This has been going on in the last quarter of a century with striking rapidity. In one district alone in the last 12 years the reindeer have dimin- ished from an estimated 30,000 to an estimated 1000. This decrease is ex. rlained yariously. The commonest and most plausible explanation which car ries the authority of men well quail fled to judge is that the demand for reindeer flesh, which has been brought nearer to the Lapp by the opening of the Bohemian railway, has tempted them to part with the deer at a rate too rapid for their production.
 The herds of reindeer, which are taken off the high fjaell down to their winter quarters, are now within four or five days of Stockholm, and there is a good demand for reindeer flesh. It is said that the Lapp, who is no more able to resist strong drink than any other half-civilized man, is piled free ly with brandy and in that state will part with his reindeer for a triffing sum, or even for fresh bottle of spir- its or two. And he goes back to his fjaell stripped of half his herd, and with nothing to show for it.
 But there is another cause also al- legged, and that by equally good au- thorities It is said that Swedish state education is having upon the Lapp the effect which not uncommonly follows the early stages of learning. Every au- tuUn Swedes and Lapps alike send down their children to the nearest na- tional school. where they remain for the winter months, the Lapps in most cases having "seminaries" to them selves. And it is declared that in the case of both races alike, after few years of this training, the youngest generation, when it comes to the age of choosing it's way of life, shows an unwillingness to return to the hard outdoor life of the homes in the in terior.

KNEW VALUE OF AN OATH.
Colored Witness at Least Was Aware
 of Its Pecuniary Worth.

Clarence s. Darrow, the well known lawyer and essayist. discussing the Haywood trial, in which he played so prominent part, said the other day:
 Some of the evidence in that trial was so transparently false that it re- minds me of a case that came off in Alabama a few years back. One of the witnesses In this case was an ex- tremely ignorant man. As his testi. 1sony progressed, his ignorance be. came so shockingly evident that the judge, looking sternly down at him said:
 Look here, sir, are you acquaint- ed with the value of an oath?'
 "The witness answered anxiously:
 'Jedge, l hope I am. That thar lawyer on yer left hand gimme six dol lars to sw'ar agin the other side. Thet's the correck value of an oath, ain't it, jedge?'"

FLYING LEAP RESTORES MIND.
Plucky Man Bandages Broken Leg
 and Seeks Succor.

Joplin, Mo-His reason restored by a leap from a flying train that broke his leg Fred Dubois, of Grove. I. T., bandaged the member in weed splints and crawled two miles to farm house, eight miles south of here. He was removed to a hospital here and will recover.
 Dubois, accompanied by three brothers, was returning from Texas, where he had shown pronounced symptoms of insanity, and, evading his brothers, he rushed to car plat form and jumped off six miles south of Joplin while the train was running at a high speed The train was stopped, but the brothers could not find Du bois.
 It was "A hours later when he found refuge at the farmhouse, and during that time a terrific storm had pre-. vailed, drenching him as he lay on the ground.
 Dubois, after his jump, regained req. son. He cut away his trousers leg at the knee, cut some stiff weeds and wrapped the cloth around them as a splint. Then he bound both legs to- gether with his suspenders to better stiffen the broken member, and began his toilsome crawl to succor
 He did not remember leaving his brothers on the train. nor having jumped from it. The skill he showed in splinting the injured leg is the marvel of attending physicians.

New Method of Outline Steel

A new method of cutting steel is said to have been patented by Bel gian engineer. The process consists in first heating the metal by means of an oxyhydrogen flame and then cut ting it by small stream of oxygen gas, which unites with the steel and forms fusible oxide, which flows freely from the cut. It is said that the cut is fully as smooth as that made by the saw, and is only HOO inch wide.

home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the ingredi-
ents are all harmless and can be OBJ
tanned at small cost from any

this prescription Is often prescribed

il would not be a splendid remedy
