HOUSE BUILT FROM ONE FIR.

A fourteen room, two and a half
story house, built entirely of the lum-
Der from single fir tree, was recent
iy finished at Elma, on the west
coast.
The tree was giant Douglas fir
and was felled west of the town. It was
marvelously straight and when scaled
was found to contain 10000 feet of
serviceable lumber. Inside the bark
the stump measured seven feet and
nine inches in diameter, and the total
height of the tree was over 800 feet.
At the standard price of $25 thou
sand the lumber in this tree was
worth more than $1,000 Elma is in
the midst of the great fir timber belt
on the west slope of the Cascade
mountains.

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

MY little son, boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was SO bad that / had to cut
his hair of and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as 1t was
Impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
Of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and In removing them it used
to take the skin Off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. began to think that
be would never get WeH, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment began to see signs Of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled of twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now can say that he Is
entirely cured, and q stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

NEW WAY TO COMMIT SUICIDE

After no fewer than six unsuccess
full attempts to kill himself a sailor
named Leon Weiss has finally com.
mitted suicide In an original fashion
A month ago he threw himself into
canal at Rheims, but was rescued. A
few days later he hanged himself by
his braces on tree In a public
square, but his braces broke. He Gid
not despair, however, and, drawing a
revolver, shot himself twice. He was
taken to the hospital, where he was
cured of his wounds. A few days aft
erward, at Loan railway station, he
shot himself just as a train was com
ing in, hoping to fall beneath the
wheels, but again his life was saved
and he was taken to the hospital. He
managed to tear off his bandages and
swallowed them. Then he obtained
some water and drank it, and this,
with the cotton wool he had swallow
ed, suffocated him. Thus his seventh
attempt was successful

IMMENSE CHUTE FOR TIMBER

One of the longest and largest tim,
Der chutes in the northwest, is located
On the klamath river, in the extreme
northeastern corner of Siskiyou coun'
ty, California 1t is used almost en-
tire1y for shooting" saw logs from
the top of a mountain down into the
klamath river. In total length this
great chute Is about 5000 feet, and in
places it assumes an angle OF about
45 degrees. The chute resembles o
huge trough more than six feet wide
between the two sids at the top. The
bottom and sides are about Is inches
thick, all very securely jointed and
fitted together and. at short inter
walls, strongly anchored to the steep
mountain side.
Most of the shooting" is done du-
ring the winter months when the
chute is coated with snow and ice,
or kept wet by rains. When big
log is started down the steep slippery
way it gains a tremendous rate OF
speed before reaching the rolling
stream at the MOUNTAINS base-more
than 5000 feet below. So fearful 10
the swiftness that the friction often
scorches both the chute and the bark
on the logs. Only few seconds are
required for the big log to make it's
journey from top to bottom.

A BOX or MYSTERY.

A rather creepy thing happened at
italy, Tex, one day recently A large
square box which was unloaded by
mistake more than year ago and had
been stored all that time in the freight
house of the railroad, was opened by
the station agent to ascertain it's con-
tents and see il they could give any
clue as to the owner. The agent got a
queer shock when he opened the box
and its CHASTITY contents were revealed
to him. It contained the naked and
mummified bodies Of woman and
child.
The mysterious box was unloaded
from an express car at Italy because
the address upon it had been obliter-
ated. An effort was made at the time
10 discover the person who had
shipped it but the search was unsuc-
cessful.

Which Do You Like Worst?

This is the greatest known way for
undecided people to make up their
minds.
None but a strong minded woman
can ever decide which of two Or three
hats she likes 1the best" particularly
If they are all comely.
Popular bellies have been known to
have similar troubles with their
sweethearts. Which do I like best is
often a momentous question.
Why not try the other way?
Decide which, of men, or hats, or
attractive dates" you like the worst,
and then proceed to eliminate.
From there you can factor out in
the grade of desirability, until you
actually find yourself at a decision,
because 1t, whatever it Is, is the only
one left.
The process is delightfully."- simple.

ExTINGUISHER CAUSES a FIRE

One of the most extraordinary
causes Of fire ever recorded has to do
with the destruction of the warehouse
of match company in st. Louis, In
which sprinkler tank, provided as a
means to extinguish fires, was the
means by which the blaze was started.
The tank supports collapsed, and the
falling tank ignited the matches, with
a resultant loss Of $4,000. The sup
porting structure of the tank, accord
ing to the fire reports, had been al
lowed to rust until the steel at places
was almost eaten through.
