GIRL WAS pELIRIoUs
With Fearful Eczema-Pain, Heat,
and TingIing Were Excruciatins-
Cuticura Acted Like Magic.

IAN eruption broke out on my
daughters chest. 1 took her to
doctor, and he pronounced it to be
eczema OF very bad form. Ee treated
her, but the disease spread to her back.
and then the whole OF her head was
affected, and all her hair had to be cut
off. The pain she suffered was excru-
ciating, and with that and the heat
and tingling her life was almost I'M
bearable. Occasionally she was deliri-
Gus and she did not have proper hours
sleep for many nights. The second
doctor we tried afforded her just as
little relief as the first. Then l pur-
chased Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Pills. and before the Ointment was
three-quarters finished every trace of
the disease was gone. 1t really seemed
like magic. Mrs. T. w. Hyde. Brent

In one of the Philadelphia public

A sudden boom at 1870 marked the
explosion of the large oil tank. Wor-

A circus, three blocks distant was
about to open for the afternoon per
formance. The explosion and the fire
caused the showmen to lower the
tents after dispensing the crowd which
had assembled
The herd of elephants became un.
comfortable and they dashed to the
east side of town, knocking down
fences, outhouses and despoiling or
chards that lay in their path. Many
persons narrowly escaped the infuri
ated animals. In a short time, how
ever all but the largest of the ele
plants were rounded up.
The leader of the herd then changed
his course and entered the center of
the city, one mile distant. He entered
the court of the Glenwood hotel, one
of the famous hostelries of the coast.
Miss Gibbs was in the yard in front
of the house.
The elephant pinned her against the
house between his tusks. threw her 10

crushing her chest so that she died

an uproar. The ladies of the East

streets fearing that the herd had not
been captured.
Miss Ella Gibbs. who was killed by
the elephant, was deaconess in the
First Congregational church. Before
coming here about three years ago she
had been prominent worker in the
sums in Chicago. Since her arrival
in Riverside she had been doing mis-.
sion work among the Chinese and
Japanese, and also assisting consump-
tives who arrived here penniless.

MAcAINE.eaouND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the hand
mixed" paint of the painter slightingly
spoken OF as "unscientific" and mot
thoroughly mixed" The facts are all
on the side of the painter and his hand
prepared paint.
1t is the most scientific" paint there
is, because it is made on the spot to
suit the particular purpose for which
1t is to be used 1t Is as scientific as
a good doctors prescription. If the
painter did not mix 1t thus 1t would
be as unscientiflc as a patent medi-
cine. Moreover, the paint which a
good painter turns out Is made of
genuine white lead and pure linseed
oil. II he does not mix 1t himself he
is not sure what is In 1t. and conse-
quently his client cannot be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed
by machinery, that is simply a mis-
statement. White Lead as made by
National Lead Company is thorough
ly Incorporated with or per cent.
Of pure Linseed oil in the factory, max
ing paste. This paste need only be
thinned with additional linseed oil to
make it ready for the brush.
The thorough Incorporation Of pig
ment and oil has already been accom-
plished before the painter gets it.

is great advantage to both painter

HOW TO WASH cHAMols.
Gloves Of That Kind Should Be
CIeansed In Bath of Soapy Water.

Every woman is under the impress
sion that chamois skin gloves are
grand till she has tried to wash a
pair. They are said to wash SO easily
that the one who has a pair seldom
makes any attempt to keep them clean
in the beginning. She is sure that all
she has to do is to give them a care,
less scrubbing to make them as good
as new that she doesn't take even the
ordinary precautions. Wait till she
has tried washing them Just once, and
then hear her denounce anything made
of chamois skin forever after.
They can be washed to look like
new, however, If one but knows the lit
tie trick of leaving the soap in to keep
them soft. Again, it is bad policy to
wash them on the hand, as they are
sure to stretch this way. Rather
cleanse them by the squeezing method,
rolling them up in little ball in the
palm of the hand. Wash in several
waters, all soapy, and finally pull into
shape without rinsing. Do not stretch
them in the least, but after working
the fingers into shape hang them in
a current of air, but not near heat OF
any kind. When dry give them a Wig
orous rubbing with a brush to bring
up the nap.

oLD-FAsHloNED STYLES LIKED.
Odd Shapes In China Are In Favor
This Season.

Old-fashioned styles in china Will
prevail this season, and to the unini-
tiated much of the new dinner ware
will appear cheap because the shapes
are odd rather than pretty.
For this innovation possibly the
craze for mission furniture in dining
rooms is responsible, for many of tho
designs are in keeping with this style
of furnishing.
AS to the decoration on these-mis-
sion sets-small, plain-looking nose
gays of flowers in one color are used
throughout each service. This orna-
mcntation is in just such plain shades
as green, blue and red.
There Is a marked change In the
shapes of the dishes, for the square
vegetable dishes and sauce boats, the
latter made in one piece, with the dish
it rests upon, have returned to favor.
Flat meat dishes follow the lines OF
the covered ones and are decidedly
angular. Small butter plates are
shaped square to match, and so are
many of the smaller side platters.
