HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

II am man seventy years old. My
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
so that could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were SO bad
that I could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. I called
on two doctors. but they did me no
good. I could get nothing to do any
good till I got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got a cake OF CUT
cura Soap and one box Of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time I began to use them my hands
were all healed up and they have not
been mite sore since. I would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
"They also cured a bad sore on the
hand of one of my neighbours children,
and they think very highly of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. John w. Hasty, So. Ef-

Romance OF the Sweet Pea

A novelty in the form of striped flower was
offered in the year 1897 by Mr.. James Carter, and
in the year 1860 there appeared the first bloom
of the choice picotee-edged varieties which are
so popular today. The latter was raised by Major
Trevor Clarke. 1t fine white flower with
an edging of blue and Major Clarke scored a
double triumph for his flower was also the
first sweet pea with blue coloring
The greatest revolution in the history of the
sweet pea, however, was inaugurated Oh July Is,

Some hybridists engaged particularly at
present in adding to the list of marbled varieties

effort may be expended in future in the attempt
to produce flowers with striking and delicate

Franciscus Cupani, a monk, who also
botanist sent the first seeds to England In the
year 1899, consigned to an Enfield schoomaster
named Dr. Uvedale The old Middlesex dominic
was both botanist and horticuturist, and he
grew the first sweet peas ever seen In England.
Cupan called the plant Lathyrus distoplaty-
name, out of all harmony with the winged grace
of the sweet pea. Later Linnaeus cut down the
clumsy designation to it's present form of Lathy
rus odoratus
Dr. Uvedale found the seeds produced plant
with purple flowers, and so here we have the
color Of the original sweet pea.
The stock gradually multiplied, and about
thirty years later one Robert Furber, a Kensing-
ton gardener. the first to offer seeds for

was slow in those remote days. and it not

Discovery of Great Teachers Burial Place Leads to
Sweeping Enthusiasm.

A bronze casket, seven inches high and
five inches In diameter, was in the center
OF the chamber. The casket was round,
lidded, and fashioned to represent a full
blown lotus flower, upon which a small
bronze Buddha sat. The box was Won
derfully carved with scenes depicting the
life Of Buddha. A lump Of rock crystal
was found within the casket One end
had been followed out and sealed. but
the seal had fallen away with the raw
ages Of time. Inside the cavity were Il
patch OF whitish ashes and two bits of
eharred bone. The relics are considered
genuine beyond all peradventure by the
British authorities.

picts the teacher during his period OF
meditation under the 30 tree al Buddha
Gay about l25 miles from Benares.
AT this point. the legend goes. Buddha
sat for six years in penance and mortifi-
cation. He became living skeleton,
was naked and, covered with dirt. and
was soon the object Of contempt IN the
surrounding villages Angels and devils
tempted him. Hydra-headed demons fred
volleys of poisoned arrows at him, but
before they could pierce him they fell
as lotus flowers at his feet
The effect of the big Buddhist revival
in the far East Is being felt in this coun-
try in a peculiar fashion. Some Of our
most prominent society women have be-
come so interested in its progress that
they have started the fashion OF collect
ing images Of the god of the Orientals.
Some of the womenswho are the most
ardent of the collectors declare that.
While they are not converts TO the faith,
they are given certain sOlace by the
presence In their bOudoirs OF the restful
figure of the sitting Buddha or the re-
clining Buddha, portrayed as entering
Nirvana, and that the image OF the
preaching Buddha gives them new hopes
for the future. Mrs William Crane. wife
of Senator Crane, of Massachusetts; Mrs
Clarence Moore. Mrs. Franklin Ellis, and
many other widely known American
women are enthusiastic collectors Of the
images.
