Epidemic of Itch in Welsh village.

In Dowlais, South Wales. about
fifteen years ago, families were strick-

the itch. Believe me. il is the most
terrible disease of its kind that
know of, as 1t itches all through your
body and makes your life an Inferno
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as If million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time. I
knew a dozen families that were SO
affected.
THE doctors did their best. but
their remedies were of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried a drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse: as a last resort
they were advised by friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies I am glad to
tell you that after few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was a perfect cure
in all cases.

Peanuts in GERMANY

Vice Consul James l.. A. Burrell, of
Magdeburg. advises that 10000. 900
marks ($2,3SO,0OO) worth of peanuts
were imported into Germany during
the first nine months of $1,000, the
amount for the first half OF the year
alone being greater than that for all
of 1908. The great increase in the
consumption of peanuts is due to the
fact that they are used in large GUAM
titles in cake bakeries as substitute
Tor the domestic walnuts, and to some
extent for almonds, on account Of the
increase in price Of the latter nuts.
Further, peanuts are now served after
dinner, either mixed with almonds or

popular form in which il is appearing

their tailored suits, but just now the

Louis XVI shape, with a short brim in

Importance of Details.

Spare no pains in collecting details,
before you generalize; but it Is only
when details are generalized that a
truth is grasped. The tendency to
generalize is universal with all men
who achieve great success, whether in
art, literature, or action. The habit
of generalizing, though at first gain.
cd with care and caution, secures by
practice a comprehensiveness of judg-
ment, and a prOmptitude of decision
which seem to a crowd like the intui-
lions of genius. And. indeed, moth
ing more distinguishes the man OF gen.
iUs from the mere man of talent than
the faculty of generalizing the various
details each of which demands the
aptitude Of a special talent, but all OF
which can only be gathered into sin
gle whole by the grasp OF a mind
which may have no special aptitude
for any.-Lord Lytton.

The smuggling of Bibles is a profit
able business in Tibet, according to a
report just issued by the American
Bible society. The direct importation
OF Bibles in that country is prohibited
under heavy penalty, but there is a
widespread demand for copies of the
book and many natives earn a good
living by buying them from the ma
tive missionaries near the border and
taking them secretly across into the
Tibetan villages. Bibles for this pur-
pose are printed by the Bible society
at Simla, India, in the Chinese Ian
guage, which all the upper classes in
Tibet read and understand.
