the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time had
used the third bottle, l was entirely

Money Needed for Good Work.

Twelve years ago, Massachusetts,
made the first appropriation for a
state sanitarium. Since that time,
over $1O,OOO,000 has been appropri-
ated by state legislatures for the pre-
vention OF tuberculosis, and about an
equal sum by municipal and county
authorities. The federal government
has over 100000 invested in tuber-
:ulosis hospitals, and spends annually
about 100000 in their maintenance.
Every year the percentage Of appro-
priations made from public funds for
tuberculosis work has increased.
While private societies have led the
way in the tuberculosis campaign,
every effort has been m.de to have
states, cities and counties do their
share. A bulletin of the national as

THE WoNDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY
Has Proved q Great suoeesS-ThOu-
sands Say lee the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.

The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank. and introduced by
John Lewis ChiIds, the well-known
Scotsman Of Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands Of people say It
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend OF
Theodore Roosevelt, says 1t is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and q marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says 1t fruits
abundantly even in pure sand. In the
short season of Northwestern Canada
1t is a godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
D. s. Hall, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew 1t there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
X. 8. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
It yields $3.50 worth Of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. ]. H. Powers,
1872 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on a space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.
]. P. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says its
equal for all purposes does not exist
Rev. H. B. Sheldon Pacific Grove,
CAL, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says It is
true to description In every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, Of U. s. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited ole plant five
months old bearing 1895 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands the long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
abundantly all summer.
1t is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
ever introduced.

Why His Mother MOurned.

William NJ. Fogarty has a story
about good old Irish woman whose

around the world.
She had watched him prosper with
pride. To her he was a great man.
In her fond vision she could see all
sorts of terrible tidings coming to him
but she held her peace until he had
started for the journey. Then she be-
gan to cry. A neighbor tried to con-
sole her, but to no avail.
I'm afraid he hasn't the money to
get back" said the mother, weeping.
He's got the money to go round the
world all right, but how will he ever
get back?"-Indianapolis Star.

ing himself Irving was quite closely
associated with Sir Walter Scott after
going to England; in fact, it was thru
SCOTS efforts that the Sketch Book"
was published in book form, the Eng
lish publisher, Murray, influenced by
SCOTS interest in the matter, consent
Ing to undertake the venture. When
Scott was writing his "Ivanhoe" he
talked with his friend Irving about 1t,
and said that he wanted a model for
MS heroine, nothing satisfactory having
suggested itself to him up to that time.
irving at once told him about Rebecca
GratZ, and drew so striking a picture
of her, the beauty of face and charac-
ter, that, it seems, Scott went to work
Immediately to fashion his heroine after
this fascinating prototype. When the
oook came out, SO Prof. Faust says, the
first copy was sent to Irving, with the
penciled question: "How do you like
your Rebecca? Does my copy compare
well with your originai?" Which seems
to be pretty good proof that the immor-
tai Rebecca of Scott's masterpiece was
suggested, at least, by the beautiful
German-Jewess of the City Of Brotherly
Love.
