Cured by C~uticurn.
my little son, when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. THEY began to
come on Ills arms. then on other parts
of his body. and then one came on his
chest. worse than the others. At the
end of about Il year and a half Of suf-
fering he grew so bad l had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton
and was hardly able 10 walk. | sent
to the drug store and got a cake of
Cuticura Soap and q box of Cuticura
Ointment. and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has v had any sores Of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rene
dies my precious child would have died
from these terrible sores. / used only
one cake OF Soap and about three box
es OF Cuticura Ointment. Mrs. Egbert

FLIES ENvELo SHIP.
Cloud of Singing Insects Drive

Cloud of Singing Insects Drive
Every One from the Decks.
Billions Of flies or gnats, in a swarm
so thick that the sun was obscured for
several hours, enveloped the German
steamship, Ammon, which has just ar
rived at this port, says the Seattle COR
respondent Of the New York Times
The vessel was running along about
sixty miles OF the Galapagos Islands,
near the equator west of South Amer
lea, when a westerly breeze brought the
dense swarm of insects that drove ev-
cry person from the decks.
The captain and his officers have
passed the islands several times, and
say they are unable to account for the
strange phenomenon. The vessel was
blowing her way along late in the af-
%ternoon. when a cloud was seen COM
ing out of the far west. AS it grew
rapidly in dimensions and density the
passengers and crew hoped for a cool
ing shower to ward off the perpendicu-
lar rays OF the tropic sun. Instead of
n cloud Of vapor they received a cloud
of pestiferous insects that bit and
stung until every person was forced to
seek shelter below.
The insects ~resenbled a small fly or
gnat, ana remained with the ship until
nightfall, when a northerly breeze
sprang up and drove them OF.
In May last the Norwegion bark
Sark vas attacked by a swarm Of In
sects In precisely the Ar place. The
sailors were kept below for hours by
the insects
