Mash Your Own Windows.

A certain woman Of censorious mind,
TIC criticize her neighbors was inclined;
Their dingy houses with discolored paint
And dirty indows were her chief Gem
'pladnt.
Her righteous soul became at length 30
Vexed,
She called her pastor, Rev. Take-a-Text,
Told him her trouble, and besought ad-
vice;
The wise old doctor answered Ia a trtce:
"Get soap and water n remove the
stains,
And dirt, and fly specks from your window
panes."
The woman did SO, ard TO der surprise,
Seemed to be looking cut OF other eyes;
Her neighhors' houses, now NJ longer seen
Through dirty windows, all were white
and clean.
The moral OF this story seems to be.
Who looks through dirty windows dirt will
wee;
Wash your own glass and then. as like as
not,
Your neighbors' windows panes will have
no spot;
Extract the beam before you vainly try
To take the mote from out a brothers eye.

baby Boy Had an ntense itching
HumOr-Scrntched TIL Blood Ran
q Cure I'm C%uticura.
Our son, two years old, was afiict-
ed with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks I took him
to the doctor, but it got worse. The
rash ran together and made large Bills
tiers. The little fellow didn't want to
DO anything but scratch and we had to
wrap his hands up to keep him from
tearing the flesh open till the blood
would run. The itching was intense.
The skin on his back became hard and
rough like the bark of q tree. He
suffered intensely for about three
months. But I found a remedy In
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointmsnt.
The result was almost magical. That
was more than two years ago. and
there has not been the slightest symp-
tom Of 1t since he was cured. J.. w.

Our Friends the Spiders.
8. f. Aaron. in Golfers.

I think 1t can be aid hat there
never has been one absolutely anthem
tic case Of spider Bite. The s~o-called
spider bites received occasionally, and
generally in early summer, often in
bed, are inflicted by certain blood
sucking insects of several species,
large and small. Tho m%andibles of the
spiders are hardly pow
erful enough to pierce the human skin,
and all Of the poison contained in an
arachnid's glands, injected into the
flesh Of a human being, will not make
as much fuss a. a respectable bee
sting. Moreover, spiders are not
mammal blood-suckers, and wouldn't
bite IL they could. So much for the
negative qualities Of spiders.
II it were not for the spiders we
should all promptly starve to death.
Perhaps this is a little startling; 1t
is none the less true. To enlarge upon
1t, certain spiders prey upon certain
caterpillars, regularly inhabit their
abodes, and kill so many Of them that
often whole colonies of the insects are
wiped out Of existence. These cater
pillars normally feed upon the leaves
Of trees, bushes, and shrubs, fre-
quently entirely denuding a plant. If
they were plentiful enough to exhaust
their common food they would turn to
the weeds and grasses. Without check
of any kind they would overrun the
earth and destroy every green and
growing rhinE The spiders beautifully

A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE

When one sees the surface of
house or other building scaling. or
peeling, or spotted or biistered, or
showing other symptoms of paint dis
ease" it is evident that a poor painter
has been on the job. and that poor
paint was used-or possibly that a
good painter had been dominated by
a property-owner who knew nothing
about paint
1t is an easy matter to be informed
on paint and painting. A complete
painting guide. including a book of
color schemes, either for exterior or
Interior specifications for all kinds
of painting.-and an instrument for
detecting adulterat;on in paint ma
terial, with directions for using it,
may be had free by writing National
