II was hard work selling books. The
volumes, one of which the agent had
to carry with him as sample. were
very bulky and heavy, and nobody
seemed to want them. But the agent
was persistent fellow. and even the
stubborn Mrs. Butts could not send
him away unheard
I'VE have all the books we can use"
she was saying, and we really can't
afford any more reading matter. Why
I haven't even opened the second vol

you want to. And between whites
when your iron is heating you have

Boy Tortured by Eczema.

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
"Finally l got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. |
used them in the morning and that
evening, before l put my boy to bed,
l used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur
prising, the Inflammation seemed to
be so much less. l used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
enteenth year and he has eve had a
return of the eczema

The Quaker Shop Girl.

ct bought this ribbon" said the
shopper, from a girl who sprinkled
her conversation with Quaker 'thee's'
and 'thou's.' I talked with her longer
than was necessary, just to hear those
Quaker expressions. She was the
first person I've ever seen behind the
counter who thee'd and thou'd her
customers. I have bought goods of
girls who spoke in every European &C
CEN imaginable, not to mention our
different American dialects, but the
Quaker phrases were a novelty. 1
let the girl know that I considered
her a regular curiosity in a shop.
Most people do she said. EN-

in a store because it makes the speak
err so conspicuous. For business pur-

The Camera Sees More.

When instantaneous photographs
were subjected to a process of elm
ination and selection it was discov-
cred that there were practically only
two instants in the stride of the gal
looping horse that conveyed any idea
of rapid flight to the human eye. The
first of these was at the very begin
ming of the stride, when, with all four
legs hunched together under the
belly, the animal was preparing for
the forward leap; and the second
was at. the end of the impulse, when,
with legs outstretched to the limit,
the horse was ready to take the
ground again for another stride.
Both of these periods, it will be seen,
were the instants of arrest of motion
-instants when the human eye could
readily seize the action without the
Intervention of the kodak. 1t was only
during the two instants of arrest of
motion that the eye had been able
to note the position of the horses
limbs. And these two periods of COM
parative inaction had, through long
association, become to us the perma-
nent and fixed symbols of action in
the racing horse.-Birge Harrison, in
Scribner'S.

PennyMise Peter

DR.. Britton D. Evans, the brilliant
a%lienist, said at a recent dinner in
New York:
"Then there is the cunning lunatic.
of whom there used to exist a good
example at Bridgetown.
There was a half-witted youth in
Bridgetown to whom the neighboring
farmers liked to offer a penny and a
nickel.
Gathered about him in a circle on
market day the farmers, n after
another, would say:
Now, which'll yer have, Peter?
Here's a cent-here's a nickel-take
yer choice
"And fool Peter would invariably
choose the cent rather than the
nickel, and the farmers before such
~incredulous foolishness would roar
with laughter, double in two and slap
their legs noisily with their brown
hands.
"'Peter?' l said one day to the
lunatic. why is it that you always
take the cent instead of the nickel?'
"Peter grinned a very cunning
grin.
Suppose / took the Nickel said
he, would l yer get a chance to take
another one?' Washington Post.

Gyroscope

Magnetic compasses, after having
guided the fortunes of the navigator
for centuries, are now apparently
doomed. The German Government
has decided to replace them on Ger
man warships with the gyroscope
compass invented by DR.. Anschuetz-

liant success" The device consists
Of a nine-pound wheel, mounted with
the usual compass card in a holder of
quicksilver. An electric motor rotates
the wheel at $1,000 turns a minute.
After 1t has run for two hours the in
strument is set in the direction of the
mathematical meridian, which posi-
ton it keeps unchanged, being unaf-
fected by neighboring iron and steel
and unsusceptible to vibration and
rolling. On one occasion, during a
nine months cruise of the battleship
Deutschland, the magnetic compass.
although left entirely to itself, main
tanned its true direction for a month.

His Odd Charity.

An auction sale of pawnbrokers'
goods having been advertised for that
day the queer little man with miserly
habits set out for the sale 500 after
breakfast.
always attends those things,
doesn't he?" said the pert young man,
"yet he ney buys anything"
HE buys, but he doesn't bring the
stuff home" said the gray-headed
man. There Is a man who maintains
in his modest way a queer charity.
he hasn't much money to give away,
but what little he has he gives to peo-
pie who were unable to redeem goods
they have pawned. All pawnbrokers'
sales are haunted by men and women
who hope to get one last look at stuff
that was once theirs. The old man
has been through the mill himself
lost everything belonging to his wife
once and has never got over it. He
can spot the soft-hearted unfortu-
mates in the thick of the crowd. When
he can he buys the trinket that the
other fellow would sell his soul for,
and either makes him a present of it
or else sells it for the few cents the
poor fellow can afford to pay. And
that Is his charity. New York Sun.
