THROUGH THE WALL.

"tHE detective entered the room
OF the tragedy and turned up
the lights, all of them, so that
~ he might see whatever was TO
be seen. He walked back and forth
examining the carpet. examining the
walls. examining the furniture, but
paying little heed to the body. He
went to the open window and looked
out; he went to the yellow sofa and
sat down; finally he shut off the lights
and withdrew softly, closing the door
behind him. 1t was just as the COM
missary had said with the exception
of one thing.

"Wha-at?''
Il am going to prove practically
whether my mind has grown rusty in

that we are in private room No. I,
don't you? On the other side Of that
wall is private room No. 6, where
man has just been shot. We know
that. don't we? But the man who shot
him was in this room; the little hair
brushing old maid saw the pistol
thrown from this window; the dog
found footprints coming from this
room; the murderer went out through
that door into the alleyway and then

The detective paused and looked fix
edly at the wall near the heavy side
board. Tignol, half fascinated, stared
at the same spot. and then. as a new
idea took form in his brain. he blurt-
ed out, "You mean it went through

"Tonnere de Dieu!" he cried. "1t's

Sure enough. against the white wall
stood out not one but two black holes
about an inch in diameter and some
thing less than three inches apart.
Around the left hole. which was close
to the sideboard. were black dots
sprinkled over the painted woodwork
like grains of pepper.

Importation of Leeehes.

Leeches are enumerated by the bu-
reau Of statistics under its general
head of animals imported, the total
value OF the imports of this species
in 1908 having been $5,341; in 1907,
$6,922; in 1906, $4,494; in 1905, $S,s62;
in 1904. 1859; in 1908, 1920, and in
1902, $2,412-the commerce in leeches
being thus of a growing character.
The total number of leeches i'm
ported in the United States in the
decade ending with 1908, is about S4O,-
900. Leeches are imported free of
duty. Snails were at one time emu
merated as an article Of importation,
the records from 1894 to 1898 showing
snails imported to the extent of about
$4,000, but the snail trade so dwin-
died, showing only $24 of imports in
1908, that the bureau discontinued it's
statements of this article.

LIFE-SAPPTNG PARA
SITES THAT WRECK

The following remarkable statement
was recently made by L. T. Cooper. 1t
concerns the preparation which has
been so widely discussed throughout
the country during the past year, and
has sold In such enormous quantities
In leading cities:
ut is now a well-known fact that
wherever have introduced my New
Discovery medicine, hundreds of peo-
pie have brought internal parasites, or
tapeworms, to me. In many cases these
people did not know the nature of the
parasite, and were consequently ex-
tremely nervous until / explained the
matter to them. In some cities so
many have had this experience that
the public generally became alarmed.
II take this opportunity of explain
ing what these creatures are, and what
1 have learned about them in the past.
"Tapeworms are much more COM
mon than would be supposed. l ven
ture to say that ten per cent. of all
chronic stomach trouble, or what is
known as a rundown condition, is
caused by them. An individual may
suffer for years with one of these
great parasites and not be aware of it.
Contrary to general belief, the appe-
lite is not greatly increased-it only
becomes irregular. There is a general
feeling of faintness, however, and a
gnawing sensation in the pit of the
stomach.
People afflicted with one of these
parasites are nervous and depressed.
Their CHIEF sensation is one of Ian
guor, and they tire very easily. Lack
of energy and ambition affect the body,
and the mind becomes dull and slug
gish. The memory becomes not so good,
and the eyesfght Is generally poorer.

The Surrendered Life.

1t is not enough to yield ourselves
up to God once for all, and think that
we have then done with the matter.
Our surrender to God cannot be com.
pleted in single act, but it must go
on in continued, never-ceasing series
of acts so long as we draw the breath
of life. We forget this, and wonder
why, when our surrender at some
time in the past was SO sincere and
complete and unconditional, we do not
realize the peace and Joy and power
Tat the surrendered life is supposed
to bring, The trouble is that we are
trying to let single act of surrender
take the~Place of those continued acts
or surrender>fR the everyday trifies of
duty which alone, can give meaning
and efficacy to the original surrender
that we made. The surrendered life
must-he kept surrendered; the act of
surrender is never finished while
there remains any duty-doing and
service to be done.

Benefit In Outdoor Schools.

Speaking before the National Associ-
alton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis recently, DIR. Henry Far
nun Stoll of Hartford, Conn, said:
Every city should have one or more
outdoor school" He recommended
such institutions for all delicate, so
called scrofulous or anaemic children,
and those with tuberculosis of the
bones, who are now in ordinary
schools. Doctor Stoll declared that
twenty or forty per cent. of school
children in large cities are infected
with tuberculosis. By the use of tu-
berculin, it was ascertained that rs per
cent. of the children from tuberculous
homes we're infected as against only 26
per cent. of those from supposedly
healthy homes. 1t was also found that
SO per cent Of the frail children from
healthy homes had the germs of the
disease, but that only IS per cent of
the robust children from similar homes
were thus affected.

Uniting doors and windows rep

remedied if small wedge of wood
be driven at the side of an open
window; a door can be prevented
from rafting If a pad or strip of thick
felt be nailed on the edge of the door.
The annoyance of creaking drawers
can be eliminated by rubbing common
soap upon the top, sides and bottom OF
each.
Creaking hinges on anything should
be well oiled, while the grating, irri
tating noise Of a sewing machine can
be overcome in a similar manner.
The little noises wear away the pa
tience that is required for other
things. 1t we're foolish to dissipate
energy through the channels of irri
tated nerves when a little time will
obviate the nuisances.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face, had physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts Of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about a
year and a half Of suffering he grew
SO bad that 1 had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got TO be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
my aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. l
sent to drug store and got cake of
Cuticura Soap and box of the Oint-
ment and followed directions. At the
end of two months the sores were all
we'll. He has never had any sores
of any kind since. l can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. I used only one cake OF
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment.
