Tortured Day and NtEht-Tried
Many Remedies to No Avail
Cured by Cuticura.
After IN attack Of rheumatism,
running sores broke out on my hus-
bands legs, from below the knees to
the ankles. There are no words to tell
all the discomforts and great suffer
ing he had to endure night and day. He
used every kind Of remedy and three
physicians treated him, n after the
other, without any good results what
ever. One day l ordered some Cuticura
Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and .Cuticura
ResolVent. He began to use them and
in three weeks all the sores were dried
up. The burning fire stopped, AID the
pains became bearable. After three
months he was quite well. 1 can prove

In passing an ordinance to prohibit
the sale of intoxicating liquors to alb
original Indians the legislature Of Brit
ish Guiana has, like the governments
Of Canada, New Zealand and Natal,
shown a wise consideration for the
welfare Of the native, population. A
curious exception, however, is made in
the case of a native drink called "pi-
warrie," which is a production Of the
cassava plant. 1t is permissible under
the ordinance for meetings to be held
for the consumption OF this beverage
In January, June and December; but
they a be attended only by aboriginal
Indians. Any other person present is
liable to a fine. There is nothing in
the Law to explain why this exemp-
ton has been made" says the Dundee
Advertiser, but doubtless the native
who raves for strong drink will ap-
preciate the opportunities offered and
will 'piwarrie' in haste, knowing that
he will have full leisure in which to
repent"

Rules Is Rules.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Germany, as is well known, is a
much-goVerned country. The policemen
there not only keep order, but go far
out of their way to make the people
tread the straight and narrow path.
Bicycle regulations, for instance, are
very stringent In German cities. A
bicyclist, after proving that he can
ride by means of a test under the
eyes OF solemn judges, must further
more, after he has obtained his official
permit, submit to Voluminous and COM
plicated regulations. To begin with, he
must have a number. This number, &C
cording to his rule book (Which he
u always carry), lis to be affixed
to the bicycle in plain view, both on the
front handlebar INC on the tool box
under the saddle" Once an American,
who had just obtained his permit, de-
clded that it would be more convenient
for him to carry his tool box on the
front handlebar. But knowing tina his
number must be affixed under the sad
die, In order to be seen from behind, he
carefully hung II there by means of a
couple of wires. Then he sailed cour-
ageously forth. He had hardly trav-
eled half a dozen blocks before he was
stopped by a stern policeman.
you are not observing the rules Of
bicycling" said the latter solemnly.
The foreigner looked bewildered.
But / have the number in front Of
my bicycle and behind. too"
1.-The regulations read that the num-
her in the back should be affixed to the
tool box" said the officer, cycling the
number hung from the two wires with
immense disapprOval.
And do you mean to say that, just
because the rule is worded that way, l
am obliged, whether l desire 1t or not.
to carry my tool box under the sad
dle?"
IT do"
Argument was useless. The police
man would not allow the foreign BIZ
cyClist to proceed until the latter had
solemnly promised to restore the tool
box, duly numbered, to it's proper posi-
ton as soon as he reached home.

In the course OF a recent lecture de-
livered before the Royal United Service
Institution In London a retired English
army officer dealt with some interesting
facts pertaining to the question of
health in tropical chimes. The officer in
question, Colonel Mande, late OF the
Royal Engineers, in the course of his
remarks pointed out the relation be-
tween active rays and their effect upon
the great nerve centers running down
the spinal column. II those rays are
excessive the disturbance of the nerve
center rests upo the stomach, pro-
voking digestive disorders as well as
tending to the dangerous malady of
sunstroke. Consequently 1t Is obvious
that IL a non-actlnic material were
worn next to the skin the effect of the
actinic rays would De nullifed. Colonel
Mande personally tried the experiment
some % years ago, n the relief thus
secured was remarkable, zinc he was
able to prosecute his duties in the hot
test sun without Inconvenience or ex-
Deriencing any Ill effects. The non
actinic material alluded to was simply
a red fabric, with which he had lined
his fish helmet II service uniform.
The same phenomena has been OBJ
served by other soldiers while on &C
tive duty In torrid chimes, who, by lin
ing their wearing apparel and caps or
helmets with red, have secured instant
relief from the Affections incidental to
working beneath a blazing sun Colonel
Mande's experience, though 1t may not
always have been based on his scien-
tific knowledge of the subject, is mere
ly hat Of every officer n enlisted
man Of the United tSates army who has
marched or footed upon the great
shadeless plains OF the West. Here the
summer temperature Is sufficient to
raise iron to an unbearable heat, yet
private soldiers and common laborers
who wear red flannel next to the skin
suffer no bodily pains, though they pur-
SUE their tasks for hours on end In the
broilinE sun.

The colonel had demonstrated vigor-
ously with Uncle Eph about the old
darkey's persistent excursions into the
state Of inebriation.
Uncle Eph, though he promised
faithfully to refrain from frequent dips
into the flowing bowl, failed to live
up to the colonel's expectations.
On numerous occasions the colonel
saw Eph under the influence Of liquor,
but the darkey when taken to task.
stoutly denied the accusation, affirm
ing emphatically that he did not drink.
One evening the colonel met Uncle
Eph in a condition which made 1t

From the Technical World Magazine.
A bat In O woman's bedroom can
cause more excitement than can n
lone burglar or even a dozen mice. As
the strange creature of the night comes
Tipping and Tapping against the walls
and ceilings such shrieks are elected
from the terrified female as to rouse
the whole family and bring them to
the rescue with brooms and canes.
All of which is sheer ~foolishness, for
IL she would but give hin a chance
the bat could prove to her entire sat
isfaction hat he Is an intelligent and
amiable creature and not unworthy or
q permanent place in the household.
Yes, the detested bat makes a most
agreeable household pet.
He Is a most affectionate creature
and will attack himself to a person as
does a kindly and intelligent dog. A
college professor says: When I was q
bats, which came and went freely OF
their w accord. In the evening they
were wont to rush through the win.
dow into the neighboring garden, hunt
insects, and when their hunger was
appeased they would return to my
room. They slept on a book shelf,
where they suspended themselves from
a dictionary. At the present time 1
possess o bat hat shows a touching
attachment to my person and follows
me about through the rooms Of my
house, II I call It."
This last statement seems to be un-
questionable testimony in favor OF the
theory hat the ear OF the bat Is not
only susceptible to high n shrill
sounds, but also for the lower sounds
OF the human voice. Recognizing that
1t is called, the creature evidently is
able to distinguish different shades
and accents.
This advocate of bats as pets further
states that when he talks pleasantly to
1t his present favorite raises and low
ers it's ears, much after the
OF q horse, blinks it's eyes in a con-
tented fashion, ticks Its nozzle with its
tongue, and, in general disports itself
In a that indicates It Is pleased
and contented. When harshly spoken
to, II lays back it's ears, shrinks away
and seeks to escape by climbing UP the
curtain.
The proprietor Of this bat adds:
when I SIT by lamplight in the norm
ing working at my desk l can hardly
get rid OF 1t. 1t comes and goes, ramb-
ling about the desk or climbing up my
legs or else sits or the curtain and
endeavors by violent shakings of the
head and shrill twittering to excite my
attention and to obtain worms-its
usual food-thereby. Its appetite is
something unCanny. Thirty fat worms
are readily taken at one meal"

Beauty at the Breakfast Table.

From the Ladies' Pictorial.
To look her best a woman should rise
slowly, dress by degrees, make her
toilette as If time were at a standstill,
and stroll down TO the first meal Of the
day without the slightest trace Of hav-
ing hurried or of being in a hurry,
either for refreshment or news. Women
who follow this plan are always those
who are most admired, but from the
hostess point OF view it Is not to be
recommended.

ARE BUILDING FAST
MOTOR BOAT
SKINcH II TO BE THE NAME
OF A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE
BOAT OF TWENTY HORSE
POWER.

"Skinch IL" is the name that will
be given to one of the tidiest and
handsomest little motor boats ever
turned out here, il the expectations
and hopes OF her owners are to be
realized,
The Skinch ii is now building in
the Leathers yards, and her owners
are DR.. Vaughn and f, c. Fox, the
latter also being her designer, Mr.,
Fox, as many know, is with the As
toria Iron works,
The boat is now in course OF con-
struction and will probably be COM
pleted within a few weeks, and at all
events she will be in readiness for
the regatta. She is TO be 81 feet
long, with FIVE feet six inches beam,
and has been designed along beautiful
lines. She will have torpedo boat
stern, and is fitted out with oak ribs
and oak frames. She will carry
four cylinder, high speed engine, OF
the automobile type. The engine is
OF 20 horsepower.
The Skinch III ought 10 prove one
OF the best equipped motor boats on
the lower river, and those who are
observing the work OF construction
OF the craft say that Mr.. Leathers,
who is personally doing the work, Isl
deserving OF great credit for the care
and skill he is exercising II the
Sklnch doesn't make showing in
the regatta it will be wonder.
She is to be of the open type, built
along speedy liners, and will comfort
ably seat eight or ten persons. The
passenger cockpit is to be about l0|
feet long, with lazy back seats, and
will also have wickerwork chairs.
The forward cockpit will contain
the engine and steering apparatus,
and about midship will be portion
OF decking and under it will be in
stalled the gasoline fuel tank, and
then aft of this comes the passenger
cockpit,
Mr.. Fox and DIR. Vaughn aren't
saying anything about what the
Skinch II ought to do in the regatta
races, but that they expect her to
make the finest kind OF showing is
probably true. With the West Butte
and the Skinch II showing up against
each other there ought to be some
thing doing" The building OF these
fast and beautiful little motors is not
only source of personal pleasure to
the owners, but is matter of con-
graduation for Astoria as we'll They
look pretty on the water, and it is a
source Of satisfaction to know that
Astoria men and Astoria builders
can turn out boats that don't have to
| fall behind anything on the Columbia
river.
