Bow Tortured nv Eczema.

When my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly In
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread It
started in a small place on the lower
extremfties and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part Of his leg to the knee.

cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. I
used them in the morning and that
evening, before I put my boy to bed,
I used them again and the improve

be SO much less. | used two boxes OF

take a hard, brisk walk. if she lives

rather irrelevant by way Of making
up for lack of pretty clothes, but it is
not, for in such action the mind is di-
verified by objects one passes, the

Potato Salad.

Boil six medium sized potatoes in
the Jackets" and peel them while
warm. Cut them into pieces about
a quarter of an inch thick. Boil five
eggs hard, remove the yolks and cut
the whites up with potatoes. To this
add a bunch of celery, cut in small
pieces, a small onion, chopped fine,
pepper and salt to taste. Mix all this
by shaking it up, as using a spoon
would break the potatoes. Mash the
yolks and add a little salt, mustard
and pepper. Then stir in gradually
three tablespoons of melted butter.
Make this into a smooth paste; add
enough vinegar to reduce it to the
thickness of cream.-Boston Post.

It's hot ambitions and desires;
Each has its fields and running streams,

You with the comrades OF your heart,
And dreams, and cheering suns may

Upon the ways vCu 90. and
May speak with YOU. but from YOU far
As dceps OF sea from vaulted sky,
As pit of earth from peak Of star.
Each life a universe where runs

It's independent course of suns
Its sunshine. shower. and its dew;
Each throh of heart. each thrill Of soul
A blazing comet in the blue,
And lightnings flash and pillows roll
For me. but all unseen to you.
Across a chasm black as ink
And deep as chaos we join hands
In hollow greeting, and we drink
a pledge, and neither understands.
And we set out upon the way,
Each with his world of mind and heart,
And will be as we have been aye
A hundred million miles apart.
SO what of US may be the soul
Walks all alone upon its way
To its extinction or It's goal,
Where spirits greet or worms decay;
Walks all alone and none may sec

Benefits Of New Couture.

THE couture grows more and more
supple and artistic. Cur1s and waves
are completely out Of fashion," says
The Ladies' Field. "The hair is
brought smoothly down to the neck
and is rolled over a hollow shaped
pad. A long lock of hair is then
wound round the head, for pleats are
no longer considered chic. With this
mode Of hair dressing each woman
can adapt her couture to suit her par
ticular style of beauty. The left turn
of a tress modifes a pronounced oval
face. and lengthens a poday cheek, or
even DISCUSSES a badly formed head"

The department Of agriculture calls
attention to the ravages Of a little
insect, known as the southern pine
sawyer. The beetle is sometimes IL
inches long, one-third as wide, and OF
a notified gray or brown color. The
1arva. or grub, has no feet, bit is
armed with powerful jaws. The insect
is found in the eastern part Of the
United States, but as it attacks moth
ing but pine timber its ravages are
confined principally to the south. The
female digs through the outer bark
and lays her eggs in a circle. After
the Matching process, the small grubs
begin feeding on the soft bark, finally
mining into the sapwood, extending
the gallery till the heart is reached,
and then turning back to within a
quarter of one inch Of the surface,
finishing the gallery in the shape of
a letter U. There it stays through
the dormant stage till it becomes a
Beetle, and bores its way to the sur
face. The damage to the timber is
done entirely by the grub. causing the
lumber from this part of the log to
We classed as the very lowest grade.
Investigation in M'ssissippi show
that from Is to 80 per cent. of tho
1rees felled by storm become infested
by the pine sawyer. During 1907 and
1908 three storms passed over several
southern states. telling more than two
billion feet of timber, all of which was
damaged by the zine sawyer.

Electric Rat Trap.

One Of the latest ideas for killing
rats is a trap into which the animal
walks, attracted by an electric light
and a display Of food. Once in he
cannot get out, and an electric u
rent kills him in so or 60 seconds,
The apparatus can be so arranged
that the dead animal itself signals
its fate to any desired place, advis.
ing the Waterman by an electric bell
or the lighting Of an electric lamp
that there is a rat carcass to be re
moved.-New York Tribune.

Coon Meat.

Coon meat looks and tastes some
thing like guinea fowl, being dark
and tough unless fixed up right. A
coon is more precise and dainty than
a possum about what it eats. A pos
sum, like a hog, will eat anything,
any sort of carcass. Many old South

fashioned negro consumption, which
