From the age of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema in its
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part Of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
OF the worst cases ever admitted

MIdshipmen and MARRIAGE.

Midshipmen and marriage are inter-

ent considerably. In the last three
years more than one midshipman has
been dismissed from the service for
marrying before he has been graduated
from Annapolis. Also there have been
increasingly numerous requests to the
navy department from passed mid
shipmen asking permission to mar
ry. The department has been thus
far lenient with Cupid and has granted
most of these requests.

The two.year-old baby in an East
End family was showing its keen dis
pleasure at dinner the other evening
over the fact there was no more milk
on the table. The milk supply had
run out, Unexpectedly. and the baby
wanted still another drink OF milk.
The fond and doting parents tried
to pacify 1t with drink Of water, but
that didn't 60 II wanted some more

PLAQUE and Fleas.

The part played by fieas In the
spread OF plague is dealt with In an
able manner by ~. w. w. s. in Ma
ture." A Latin writer, Ayicenna, is
quoted to show that about the year
1900 1t was known that there was some
definite connection between rats and
plague. In more recent years II has
been a matter OF common observation
in India that in times OF plague large
number of dead rats are found. And
these are found to contain the plague
bacilli in abundance. In 1898 81.
mond expressed the view that In the
majority OF cases the plague was con
veyed from the rat 10 man through
the agency of the flea. Experiments
which he tried with fleas from rats
dead OF the plague showed how this is
possible. Other experimenters have
obtained similar results, while others
have been led TO doubt Simond's gen
eralization.

FEW FREAKS IN ARCHITECTURE,


Instances of eccentricity on the part
of those building and furnishing
houses are common enough in every
community. The following instances
of freakishness in that regard may be
cited in illustration Of certain phases.
A Russian gentleman has erected at
a cost of 5000 rubles on his country
estate at Savinowka, in Podolia, 16-
room house made entirely of paper.
This house, which was constructed in
New York, is calculated by It's archl-
tect to last longer than would a stone
building. The whole of the furniture,
too, Is made from the same material.
In County Westmeath, Ireland, a
house has been built whereof all the
line the backs of of easy chairs, being
thus constructed by its eccentric own
eer to match the backs of set Of
chairs in the dining-room.
In Connecticut a certain land owner,
thinking that the view from his house
lacked a church, proceeded to supply
its place by erecting a row of cottages
so designed as to resemble, from his
side, the edifice required Approached
from the other direction, however, the
sham is at once manifest.
Some years ago a man Of scientific
attainments, as well as of considerable
means, elected to live in a tree in a
suburb OF Washington-thati is, he en-
joycd his leisure moments in the
branches of the tree itself, where he
had caused to be built platform
large enough to accommodate easy
chairs and such other furniture as he
desired to make use of during the day.
At the base of the tree, however,
and surrounding II was built a struc.

sleeping apartments OF this eccentric
individual. For many years this
unique residence was one of the
sights Of the national capital.

Would See Traffic Associations.


Uniformity of railroad rates was an
other one OF the executives themes
which is OF interest to the general pub
lie and President Roosevelt advised
pool of traffic associations for the pur-
pose OF comforting on rates. In that
connection he continued as follows:
Il desire to repeat my recomme nda-
ton that railways be permitted to form
traffic associations for the purpose OF
comforting about and agreein5 'as-p1n

that they should be given the right

The law requires that rates shall be
so adjusted as not TO discriminate be-
tween, individuals. localities. or differ
ent species of traffic, Ordinarily rates by
all competing lines must be the same.
As applied to practical conditions, the
railway operations of this country
can not be conducted according to law
without what Is equivalent to coHfer-

The experiment was a success.
Each animal inoculated gave off the

In a little while the cattle began

WARNS DEALERS IN CANDIES
Display Must Be Kept Under Glass
to Protect it from Dust and

II. E Barnard. state food and drug
commissioner, has issued warning to
dealers in Christmas candies to keep
the display under glass to protect it

"The season is approaching" said
Mr. Barnard, when large quantities
of Christmas candies will be display
ed. Such goods can not be displayed
except under glass unless in violation
NJ the law.
"We have had practically no occa-
sion to speak of this matter since last
year and hope that the conditions
which rhave prevailed during the sum
