Low Down Wagon.

There IS nothing on the farm that !
find more handy than my low down
wagon, says a writer In New England
Homestead. / use It for al my road
and farm work and cannot say any
thing but words OF praise Tor load
ing grain, straw, manure COAL wood
or. in fact, anything. It far exceis the
old fashioned high wagon. use four
inch tires, with a brake, and instead OF
tearing up the field it rolls it and
causes lighter draft and little damage
lin fact, none to growing crop.
On the road it runs Fighter than the
high wheels. In my estimation. The
sun and rains have no effect on a steel
wheel thus saving binding Of tires and
ofttImes breakdown through dried
wheels and loose tIresa
All who have seen II admire 1t and

FEARFUL BURNING SORES.
Boy in Misery 12 Years-Eczema in Rough Scales, Itching and ln-

"Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery passed with my son. AS an infant I noticed on his body red spot and treated same with differ ent remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger l put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed and bad ly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. One doctor told me that my sons eczema was incurable, and gave it up. decided to give Cuticura trial. When I had used the first box of Cuti. cura Ointment there was a great i'm provement, and by the time had used the second set of Cuticura Remedies my child was cured.

SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS.
IIiteracy Prevails There to a Most
 Amazing Extent.

Of the 20,0O0,000 people inhabiting Spain, only about 35 per cent. can read and write; another two and one half per cent. of the population can read without being able to write, but the remaining 621a per cent are ab- solute illterates. In the south of Spain it is impossible to get serv- ant who can read and write, and many of the postmen are unable to tell to whom the letters they carry are addressed They bring a bun dle of letters to a house and the owner looks through them and takes those which are Cor which he thinks are) addressed to him. The Spanish postmen are not paid by the state; the recipient of the letters have to remunerate them according to the amount of their correspondence, and each letter costs the addressee at least one cent. It is a joke among the easy going Spaniards that he who treats the postmen best receives the most letters-whether they are ln- tended for him or not.

State Capital Notes

Little Rock.-The State Board of Confederate Pensions, composed of Secretary of State o. c. Ludwig, State Auditor A. E. Moore and James H. Berry, met in annual session in the state auditors office Monday. The board will be session several days. The object of the meeting is to pass upon new applications for pensions and appllca- tions for pension increases. The board will have from 1,500 to 1000 applica- tions to consider. Until the board passes upon these applications it would be impossible to state with any degree of accuracy what percentage each pens;oner will receive of his claim. The amounts paid on the total allow anees of the board for the past five years are as follows: Forty-eight per cent in 1902, 46 per cent in 1903, AS per cent in 1904, 51 per cent in l9Q2. 6s per cent in 1906. There was received this year on account of the pension fund about $2S0,00o, the levy being one mill. Next year the receipts will be larger, the recent legislature having increased the levy 1-2 mill This increased levy, together with the increased valuation of property iii the state this year, will increase the pen sion fund next year, it is believed, to S350, ,000.

Queer Idea of Enjoyment.

Dr. Juliet Severance writes in the Vegetarian Magazine:
 T am often reminded of a clinic case brought before the class when I was in medical college in 1858. The man had gout and rheumatism, both the small and large joints being im- movable, and his suffering was severe. Dr. R. T. Trail, professor of theory and practice, was explaining to us the i'm portance of very strict and abstemi- ous diet. The poor fellow tried vainly to turn his head, and grunted out: I cant go that; I want to enjoy life while l do live.
