there was no doubt about It. The
pretty stenographer was sitting upon
the gentleman's lap. The lawyer no

eye upon the scene across the street,
he called the gentleman up. In few
moments he saw him start violently,

The victim whisked his arm from its
former position and began to stammer
something.

The victim brushed the lady from

WHY SALVES FAIL To CURE ECZEMA


Since the old-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood has
been given up by scientists, mAnv diff
ferent salves have been tried for skin
diseases. But 1t has found that these
salves only clog the pores and can not
penetrate to the inner skin below the
epidermis where the eczema germs are
lodged.

Medical Inspection Spreads Here,
America Still Behind E-rop
In the United States, Boston seems
to be entitled to the credit of estab-
fishing the first regular system of med
ical inspection Of schools. This was
done in 1894 but two years before this
the sanitary inspector Of New York
had appointed a medical inspector of
schools, who was probably the first
medical officer of the public schools ap-
pointed in this country.
In 1894 80 physicians were selected
by the Board Of Health to inspect the
public schools of Boston. In 1895 nine
such inspectors were appointed in Chi
cagO. In 1897 the Board of Health at
New York appointed 1874 medical In
spectors for the public schools, with Il
chief, at a salary of $500 a G
In 1898 the bureau OF health in
Philadelphia passed a resolution di-
recting that each OF the 10 assistant
medical inspectors shall visit n public
school In his district each day, inspect

ployed in Boston. New York and Chi

regions. All that is needed is to train
them, for they are very wild
These Canadian reindeer are really
caribou. but Canadians say they Will
do as well. The caribou are plentiful
throughout the Canadian north. OF

The most active advocate Of using
reindeer or caribou in the development
of northern Canada is Fred s.. Law
renee, who lives at Fort Vermilion, on
the lower Peace River. He has made
his home in the north for twenty-five
years. He suggests that a start might
be made toward DEMONSTRATING Cana

to emigrate to Canada. The Lapland-
ers, by reason Of their pastures becom-
ing crowded, owing to the great num-
Der Of their reindeer, are looking for
some part Of the world to which they
can transport their herds and families

tor could maintain himself for a year

SHE DIES AT LOG.
Ihanks to Family's Magic Beads,
Michla SchilOtzky Lived Long,

M1chla SchflOtZky Lived Long.
Mrs. Michla Schilotzky died recently
at the Home of the Daughters of
Jacob, at 3O2 East Broadway, at the
age Of 1O6 years, says the New York
Sun. h came to New York from
Asiashuf, In the state of wilma, Russia,
twenty-four years ago, and had been
at the home four years.
The last year of her life she spent for
the most part in the hospital of the
home. About Christmas time, how
ever, she attended an enterta inment
given by the home at the Grand Cen
tral Palace, where she served as
Judge Of a ~casOtZosky, q dancing CON
test in which the dancers were men
who had passed their hundredth year.
Mrs. Schilotzky came of Il long-lived
family. She left nine brothers and sis
tiers in Russia. he youngest of whom
was % when he died. Her father and
mother also lived long. The reason for
this, they say at the home, is simple.
The family for more than 800 years
has owned q string of amber beads.
Very common beads they are to look
at, giving to the unframed eye no hint
Of their power. Always the eldest
daughter Of the house has worn the
necklace. and while she wore 1T death
was warded off. The beads were pos
sessed Of marvellous healing powers
and circulated as freely among the
children of the east side who had the
whooping cough or II measles as gen
erations ago they did between the huts
OF a Russian village.
On Sunday. when her daughter. Mrs.
Fannie Kowner Of So East Doth street,
visited the old woman, the beads were
given to her.
"Tnke them" said the mother, "for
1t IS not well that I should bear them
longer
Then she talked Of the beads. which
never before had left her neck for
more than twenty-four hours.

of outlaws who had infested this re-

to hold up the accommodation train.
They had lanterns, ct ~cetera, with
which to signal the train but fearful
that the engineer would recognize them,
they placed several ties on the track,
so that If he failed to heed the signal
his train would be deraiied.
"They had just finished operations
when the Old Tartar appeared on the
scene. She knocked the ties a-aying,
but they did their work, for she jumped
the track and rolled down the embank-
ment. Fifteen minute later the ac-
commodation passed that very spot IN

under the circumstances it would be
best not to hold up n train.
