COVERED WITH HIVES.
Child Mass of Dreadful Sore, Itch

Months-Little sufferer In Terri
BILE PIight-Cured by Cuticura.

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
complete sore, but ii was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine, but 1t did
not help her and tried several RENE
dies, but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised, |

n hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap
and anointed her body with Cuticura
Ointment. The first treatment relieved
the itching and In n short time the dis,

Chinese Girls Sold Into Slavery

At Chaotong, a city of some 40OH
souls, was told that one of the briskest
directions of local trade was the selling
of female children into slavery, and AT
the time ! passed through prices were
fairly high, n girl who could boast good
looks fetching the alarming figure Of BOZ
taels-this was the highest figure reached
while small children could be had for
anything up TO 20
This Wholesale disposal of young girls
although the traffic in some quarters was
cmphatically denied to exist, is one of
the chief sorrows of the district And
well if might be, for thousands Of chill
dren are annually disposed Of for n. few
taels 10y hcartlcss parents who watch
them being carried away as so much

Maine Pearls.

Two Hampden men who have been up
in Greenfield on pearl fishing eXpedi-
ton We're in Bangor recently with their
spols, which, according to the state
ment of local ieweler are worth sew
eral hundred dollars. Pearl fishing is
Il most lucrative industry and fortunes
are made i'll it every year, but the state
ment above will surprise Il good many
people who never supposed pearls We're
ever found in Maine. The pearls found
are fresh water pearls. to be sure. but
they are pearls nevertheless. and TO the
inexperienced are quite indistinguiShablc
from the oyster pearl. These men, in
the short time that they were at Green
field, gathered about two hundred pearls,
but only one or two of them are of any
commercial value. The largest one was
shown to Il local ieweler Tuesday morn
ing. and he stated that it was worth
several hundred dollars There being
no market in Bangor for pearls of such
value, he advised sending it to Tiffany,
in New York -Kennebec Journal.

Foul brood In He's

The worst enemies OF the bee arc
the foul brood and black brood. One
or the other Of these diseases are In
some parts Of the State, and black
brood have been very bad In New
York State. These diseases Of bees
have been carefully studied by the de
partment in Washington, and we have
some pretty definite information on the
matter. The treatment for both Is
that Of removing all the combs and
starting the bees fresh without any
contaminated honey in a new hive, and
the use Of the old combs for wax.

Telling the Age of a Fish.

The age of fish can be determined
with accuracy by inspection of the OTTO
liths or bohy connections which are
found III the auditory apparatus. These
otolths increase in size during the entire
life of the fish, each year adding two
layers, q light colored layer formed in
summer and dark layer formed in au-
tumn and winter. The alternate layers
are sharply contrasted and very distinct,
so that there Is no difficulty in counting
them. The number of pairs of layers is
equal to the number of years the fish has
lived. BY this mothod Wallace has
made an interesting study of the distri-
button of fishes of the place species over
various sea bottoms, according to age
In this way the rapidity of growth of
fishes and the effect of fisheries OH the
population of the sea can be determined.

ALASKA NEEDS RAILWAYS.
Territory Has 100000 Square Miles
Untouched by Explorer.

Alaska. with more than 60O,OO square
miles of territory, has virtually 100000
square miles untouched by the explorer
says the Chicago Tribune. Yet in 1908 it
produced almost S2O,OOOOOO worth of
minerals, Sl9,UOO,OOO of which was gold
Lack Of transportation i'll the territory
is the greatest factor keeping back its de
velopment. In these 100000 square
miles there are only 452 miles of wagon
road. 391 miles of sled road, and 30
miles of improved trails. 1t has only 300
miles of railroad, Il considerable portion
of which is out of repair and idle. and
only fifty miles of new road was built in
1908.
The cost of transportation has made
:! impossible to work any but the rich
est of mineral deposits in many sections
of the country. Supplies must be fur
nished the mining communities, and eN-
cept in those remote camps where the
gold deposits are extremely rich, diff
culties of transportation make supplies
prohibitye. Alaska is ripe for new
era in transportation facilities.

Horses Increasing In Value.

A table has been compiled from the
statistics of the Census Bureau and
the Department OF Agriculture, which
shows that the rise in the market
value of horses has been out Of all
proportion in the last fifteen years to
the increase in their number in the
United States From 1893 to 1908 the
horse population so to speak. in
creased 3,7S5,000, or % per cent. In
the same period the gain in the num-
Der of human Inhabitants was 21,979,-
600 or SO per cent But the increase
in the value of the horses in this Coun-
try was no less than $S75,300,0O0 or
So per cent.
These facts will astoni.h many per
sons who have supposed that the
growth Of the automobile interest has
been very adverse TO the horse breed,
ers and to the market demand for
horses. On the contrary, the prices
obtained for good horSas, especially
for heavy draft animals of blood and
stamina have risen far beyond the
hopes of horse dealers a few years
ago. Horses are worth about 30 per
cent more in proportion 10 their mum
Der than they were in 1898.

feet, looked quiz2Icaly at the doctor

A good watering device for small
chicks is an ordinary baking pan. such
as is used in bread making, filled with
pebbles even full, with water poured in
to I'll the pan. The pebbles should be
IA inches In diameter. The chicks
can walk over these and drink from
between them without danger Of being
pushed into the water. as would be the
case in an open pan. A whole brood
can drink at one time with this device
The pan and pebbles should be washed
every day.

the barrel of Bordeaux mixture. The
spraying can be done quite cheaply.
The cost of four sprayings is estimated
at $1S5 per acre. This includes the
cost of labor also. In Vermont a trial
was conducted by one hundred farm
ers to test the value of this spray. The
period covered five years, and the re
suit was the increase OF 70 per cent
in yield The high value of Bordeaux
mixture as a preventive OF early blight
has been proved many times, and
should not be overlooked by anyone
who expects to raise a good crop of
potatoes.

Watch Recovered from River

John Norris a former chief constable
of Coventry, was the possessor of a his
torical Tay Bridge watch This was en-
graved with view of the lay bridge
and was inscribed as follows: The Tay
Bridge Disaster, December, 1879. This
watch lay in the River Tay for six
weeks; it stopped at the time of the ac-
cident, remained silent many days, start
ed again aud worked nine hours under
water" 1t was a gold keyless lever
which had been lent to Mr.. Beynan, an
artist Of Cheltenham, who was drowned.
A charge of dynamite was afterward
used with view to raising the body
from the river, and this doubtless start
ed the watch again.-London Standard.

Blight of Potatoes.

Early blight is a potato disease
which causes more or less damage to
the crop every year. The trouble is
most marked in unusually dry sea-
sons and Is caused by a fungus which
grows and spreads rapidly. The spores
of this fungus when seen through a
microscope have the appearance OF
clubs. They enter the vines and the
first thing one notices is that the
leaves are turning yellow. The disease
is likely TO come during the first or
second week in July. 1t may be easily
prevented by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture before the disease gets hold
on the crop. After it has a start 1t Is
of no use to spray, because the spores
are already inside the vines.
In order to kill the potato beetle at
at the same time. one-fourth of a
pound of Paris green may be added to
