BabY,s scalp All Crusted Over.

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head, and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe
that she could not rest, day or night.
We had about given up all hopes
when we read of the Cuticura Rene
dies. We at once got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle Of Cuticura Re-
solvent, and followed directions care
fully. After the first dose OF the Cuti-
cura Resolvent, we used the Cuticura
Soap freely and applied the Cuticura
Ointment. Then she began to I'M
prove rapidly and in two weeks the
scale came off her head and new hair
began to grow. In a very short time
she was well. She is now sixteen
years of age and a picture of health.
We used the Cuticura Remedies about
five weeks, regularly, and then we
could not tell she had been affected
by the disease. We used no other
treatments after we found out what
the Cuticura Remedies would do for
her. ]. Fish and Ella M. Fish, Mt.

A Gold Mine.

Sir Thomas Upton has a keen sense
of humor, and tells a good story
about a Scotchman who went to a
horse ace for the first time in his
life.
1 ought to say that he told 1t 10 a
company of guests on the Shamrock
III one evening when he was lament
ing the long odds against his ever
winning the Americas Cup because
of the hard rules imposed.
"Well," said Sir Thomas, this
Scotchman was a feeble-minded old
man, and his companions who took
him to the race meeting presently per-
suaded him to stake a sixpence in the
third race on a 40 to 1 shot.
"By some amazing miracle the out
slider won.
when the bookmaker gave old
Sandy a golden sovereign and his six
pence, the winner could not believe
his eyes.
"'Do you mean to tell me- he said,
that 1 get all this for my ~sixpence?'
"'You do said the ~bookmaker.
"'Ma conscience!' muttered Sandy.
Tell me, mon, how long has this
thing been going on?'"-Tit-Bits.

Luncheon For Travellers.

The restaurant at the Grand Cen

up an attractive luncheon for travel
ers. 1t is packed in a box convenient
for carrying and consists of four
Sandwiches of different kinds, olives,
cake, fruit and paper napkin. The
price is thirty-f1ve cents. In England,
where dining cars are not SO nearly
universal as here, the sale of filled
lunch baskets is common on all rail-
ways. In this country the field is
limited, but there certainly is a field
in large cities, particularly on Sun
days and holidays during the summer,
when a days excursion into the coun-
try is popular.-Railway Age Gazette.

necessary chiefly because of lack OF
gasoline. 1t had been arranged by
the aviator that a supply of the fluid
fuel and a supply of oil should be
shipped to Gill's Farm for his use,
and Curtiss himself, before he went
to Albany, selected the spot on the
farm lands at which he would alight.
1t happened the gasoline and oil had
been delayed in transit and Curtiss
was forced to borrow several gallons
of both commodities from automo-
biles that had followed his progress.
1t was the scarcity of oil, too, that
led to the landing on Inwood Hill.
Curtiss had difficulty all the way in
from Fishkill, owing to the refusal of
the biplane's propellers to turn as
smoothly as they should, from the
scant fabrication they received.
Therefore, when Curtiss made out a
stretch of level meadow at Inwood he
decided the wisest policy would be to
alight there instead of proceeding di-
rectly to Governors Island. The
terms of the offer of the $4,000 pre-
MUM distinctly read the landing
could be made anywhere in the city
limits, but Curtiss wished to land
himself and his a safely in b post,
because the aeroplane would be prop
erly housed there. All the landings
were carried out SO softly the aviator
said afterward he hardly knew when
the wheels under the body of the ma
chine had struck.
The passage of the biplane down
North River was highly dramatic.
Word of the departure from Albany
had reached all the big hotels and
many of the apartment houses, and
from the Bronx to the Battery every
tall building contained it's quota of
excited, enthusiastic sightseers. Tugs,
steamboats, and even the big ocean
liners warped to their piers made the
atmosphere vibrant with the shrill
cries of whistles and the roar OF
rough-voiced foghorns.

One Heart That Beats as Ten.

The average rate of the human
heart is about seventy beats a min
ute. According to a recent article
in the Scientific American F. Buch-
anan has succeeded, by the use of an
ingenious electrical meter, in count
ing the beats of a houses heart.
They amount to nearly seven hun
dred a minute, and can not be re-
corded by any ordinary method of
pulse taking. The mouse's heart
thus pumps away at the rate of over
eleven pushes a second. In compare

Poker or Rolling Pin?

A friend of the late Father Tabb
said in Ellicott City:
"This fine poet and good man
thought that class hatred was due to
ignorance-that the rich knew too
little Of the poor, and vice versa.
"He once illustrated this ignorance
with the story of a Methodist bishops
wife, who addressed a meeting of
slum housewives ON their home du-
ties. The address made the home
life seem all cry fine and ideal, but
one housewife voiced the opinion of
the rest, perhaps, when she said to
her neighbor, with a sniff:
She's all right as far as she goes,
but what I'd like to ask her is this:
What does she do when her old bishop
ome home pay night with his en-
velope empty and a fightin' jag on?' "
