How BaIzsc Wrote.

or all literary toilers Balzac was GER
tainly the most eccentric in his meth
DDS, At first he would write his novel
IN few pages. hardly more than the
plot. These would he sent to the print
or. who would return the few printed
columns of matter pasted into the CEN
Ter of several large sheets. On this
margin Balzac would work. sketching
his characters. composing the dialogue
aud perhaps altering entirely the orig
inal plot of the book. For four or five
times this process was repeated until
at last the few columns had assumed
the proportions of volume This ex-
traordinary way OF building book
naturally ran away with a consider
able share of the profits on the work.

AN ITCHING ERUPTION

MY baby boy was about nine
months old when he had breaking out
on his neck which was very annoying.
II used to make him very fretful and
cross because it seemed to worry him
so much. | had my doctor look at
the baby and he told me it was eczema
and he wanted to treat it. But friend
of mine told me she knew it could be
cured cheaper and in much less time.
SO l started using the Cuticura Soap
ard Cuticura Ointment, which / soon
found out was what | ought to have mad
before, for the eczema seemed to itch
so the baby could not keep his head still
and he was rubbing and twisting all the
time. / used the Cuticura Remedies
three times the first day and began TO
notice the good it was doing, for he
began to get rest from rubbing his neck.
So l used three cakes Of Cuticura
Soap and two boxes Of Cuticura Oint-
ment and now no one could tell that he
ever had any kind Of breaking out. and
since then | have never been without
Cutioura Soap nor Cuticura Ointment.

If the Landgrave of Hesse visits
America this fall, he should come to
Vermont and look over the field Of
Bennington. An ancestor of hisn
gave a great deal toward starting the
cemetery there.-St. Adams Messen-
ger.
1t is a fact not generally known
that scattered around this section and
in the vicinity of Saratoga are the
descendants of some of these Hesslan
soldiers which the Duke of Hease
hired cut to King George Ill. Tradi-
ton is, in regard to those at Bennins-
ton at least, that when the prisoners
taken ut the Battle of Bennington
were removed from here it was i'm.
possible to take some of the more
seriously wounded and they were left
In the care of Bennington people ana
the Continental government never
gave them any further attention. The
Hessian soldiers were sturdy young
men with few home ties and some OF
those who recovered from their
wounds became American citizens
and married and settled down here,
and their descendants are residents
of Bennington to this day. There are
others over in Washington and Sara
toga counties. New York, and still
others have scattered more widely
More than that we have no better cit
liens than the great grandsons of
those sturdy and honest young Ger
mans. 1t has been popular among
writers OF historical novels to berate
these Hessian soldiers as "hirelings'
and to hurl other epithets at them but
the truth is they were serving their
duke wherever he sent them and were
largely boys, sons of German peasants
and of the blood that has added much
to the progress and development OF
this country. Some day there will be
formed society OF the descendants
of these German soldiers who came
here to fight but remained because
they liked America, and it will be an
organization composed OF as fine PEG.

The United States is a mighty wool

it has leaped wonderfully to the front
In the past fifteen years. And two
thirds Of the sheep in the country or
which there are about fifty million,
are ranging upon the great stretches
of public lands in the inter-mountain
states of the West The sheep in
these states, at present prices repres-
ent more than a billion dollars.
Because of the cool nights OF sum
mer there, nature clothes the sheep
in heavy coats Of wool, and the pro
fit from this source is more than dou.
BILE that in the more salubrious sheep
sections in the Southwest and the
East Not only Is the yield of wool
larger. but there is big difference be
tween the cost OF rearing and main
tanning sheep in, let us say, Ohio

DR.. Doty, health officer Of the port
OF New York says that the present
conditions in Russia and Italy had
been anticipated from Information re
celyed and during the past year per.

been subjected TO the closest scrutiny.
