THE GUEST FOR RAILROAD TIES.
From rhs Scientific Ap7erfcap

From the Scientific American.
 So serious is becoming the question of supplyiSg sleepers for American railways that the Santa Fe system re- gently sent it's manager of the timber and sleeper department on a tour to the Orient and Europe, to make a srudy of conditions. It was learned. among other things, that three hun dred years ago the apanese Govern ment began to conserve its forests. and that as result of its foresight, Japan is now selling sleepers to railways in America and Mexico. There is a duty of twenty per cent on each sleeper i'm ported into the United States. That we should be paying a twenty per cent duty On sleepers, states and American contemporary, is one among many constantly accommodating evidences of the thoughtless extravagance with which our magnificent timber supply has been ruthlessly swept away.

IN sEQuoIA FOREST
Tree Trunk That Has Stood for Six.
teen Years Severed From
lts Base.

Out :n California there is a tree
trunk which has stood for the last 16
years entirely severed from it's base,
says the Wide World Magazine. The
stump is Is feet in diameter, and the
trunk towers rs feet in the air. This
remarkable freak is located near the
Sequoia forest reserve in Tulare coun-
ty, California, and was sawn of by
lumbermen for timber. Through some
miscalculation, when the cut was fin
ished the tree still held it's position,
and dynamite was ~resorted to to bring
it to the ground, which accounts for
the deep cash on one side. After the
first charge of the explosive had been
ignited the tree still remained stand
ing, and it a discovered that the
entire trunk had been shattered by
the discharge and was therefore use
less for lumber. Accordingly, the
work was stopped and the giant has
remained upright, withstanding some
of the severest wind storms that the
state has known, held in it's natural
position by it's great weight.

frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.

Disease Cured by cutieura.

my six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
Ing with children who had it. By
scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating. Her body was
a complete sor but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but it did
not help her and I tried several rene.
dies but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised, I
thought I would try them. I gave her
q hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap
and anointed her body with Cuticura
