AND
 THE RAVENS

North Carolina probably never pro duced an abler preacher than pr. Francis l.. Hawkes., who once was pastor of Grace Episcopal church, New York Short, thicl; set, swarthy, black eyed and black haired, he was strik- ing parsonage. He was not only a great pulpit orator, but considered the best reader In the New York episco- pacy. His rather luxurious family de- tered him from accepting bishopric, which would have otherwise been rendered. One day a delegation from a Buffalo church waited. upon him and invited him to accept pastorate in that city.
 "Weu, gentlemen, other things being satisfactory, the question of accept ance narrows down to business mat ter" said pr. Hawkes.. What salary do you onrer|
 "Dr Hawkes." said the spokesman, we recognize that you have high reputation and are willing to be lIb- .ral. Our recent pastor received S2, AO. but on account of your standing se have decided to otcr you $3,5OO."
 My good man." cried the doctor Io you know what salary am recciv. rg hcgc?"
 "No. sir"
 "I get sl5OOO and this parsonage, nd. as | have an expensive family. 10 not see my way clear to accept your ,Tcr."
 The spokesman looked rather sheep. ;h. hut made another essay.
 "lf we had known that, sir, we would undoubtedly have looked else. there. but you should remember that 70 work of the Lord must be done, vd. as for providing for your family. 5u know the story of Elijah and the tvens."
 "Now. my friends" responded the lcrryman quIzzlcally, "I have made Nc BiMc wy study ever since l w0s wcntv-cigNt. l have read it through arcruIly and praycrrulIy over 100 ines. remember the raven Incl ou, perfectly. but nowhere can find ny rcrer.s'c Co the Lords providing lr young Hawkes."

q take great pleasure in telling you what a great help it was for me Co use Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for my baby niece. She was suffering from that terrible torture, eczema. lt was all over her body but the worst was on her face and hands. Her hands were so bad that she could not hold anything. She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. l had her under the doe tors care for a year and half and he seemed to do her no good. ] took her Co the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But f I had de- pended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died from the want of aid.
 T used all the remedies that every body told me about and l tortured thc child almost to death. Then l saw in the paper how Cuticura was the thing for irritating skin. l bathed her with warm water and Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured i'm three months. Now her skin Is as clear and smooth as it could be. l shall r,commend the use of CutiCura wherever l see the skin in bad condition. Alice L.

SYMPTOMS OF RABIES.

5isns by Which Yoa May Know When
 Dog Is Really Mad.
 Hydrophobia Is so rare ahd ,erriryiu- lhut its symptoms and treatment are little understood. As d matter of fact, the commonly accepted expression of madness in a dog is often misleading The real mad dog does not shun wa. ter, as 1t is said On the contrary, mad dogs often rush to the water and drink 1t eagerly. if they are able to swallow. The mad dog does not froth nt the mouth. It does not run amuck, snapping at everything In Its path. What. then. are the indications of the mad dog? To those familiar with a given dog the surcst symptom and the one which should excite closest attCn- ton is a distinct and unOccountablo change in the dogs disposition, a staid dog becoming excitablc and frisky one dull. That condition does not nee esSarily mean rabies, but it is sus- picious. and if in addition the dog has trouble in swallowing, as though it seemed to have a bone In its throat, beware! That dog should be instantly tied up, because If 1t be rabies it takes but a day or two for fcrocious m- stincts to develop The unmlstakahle evidence. however, of dog with rabies Is the sticky. whitish saliva which covers the teeth and shows ou the drawn lips. The eyes glare and are red; the dog has paroXysms of run ming fury, during which 1t barks hoarsely, which alternate with periods of temporary exhaustion.

The shaving must be very thin, as it

To Pie for them.

A dispatch from Salem says thai
two new elements have entered In The
local cherry market. The Holmes
Canning company of Portland, has
commenced buying in competition
with the local cannery and q large pie
factory in New York city is buying
tons of Salem cherries for its use.
The New York pie factory is said to
he the largest institution of the kind
in the world. 1t makes nothing but
pies and supplies this staple article OF
American trade to all cities within
reach OF the metropolis. Thousands
OF pies are made every day. The
company has arranged with Tillson d
Co.. of this city, to pack Oregon
Royal Anne cherries in barrels. The
cherries are stemmed and then pitted,
an automatic pitting machine being
used for that purpose. A ton and q
half of cherries can be pitted by one
machine in ~ hours.
The pitted cherries are packed In
syrup in so. gallon barrels and will be
shipped to tha pie factory in carload
lots. AS the pie manufacturers use
immense quantities OF fruit they can
use a barrel of cherries before the
fruit will spoil after the barrel Ia
opened.
