believed, however. that it was first
brought from Holland or France on
some rose bushes to Somerville, Mass. =,
in 1890.
When one considers the remarkable
industry the caterpillar displays, its
Dutch descent seems probable. 1t
was not recognized. however. by the
scientific sharps until 1897, when the
residents of Somerville and Cam
bridge found the strange caterpillar
feeding upon their pear trees. The
Gypsy moth commission Of the state.
which was then fighting its hopeless
battle with the larger and better
known caterpillar, was at once noti-
fed, and the identity Of the immigrant
was established. 1t had been known
for 200 years all over Europe, where
1t had operated from the Mediterran-
an to Sweden. a

A Pessimistic View.

Among the patients In certain hos

one disposed to take a dark view of
his chances for recovery.

the youthful medico attached to the
ward wherein the patient lay. Your
symptoms are identical with those of
my own case four years ago. l was
just as sick as you are. Look at me

The patient ran his eyes over the
physicians stalwart frame. What

BOY TORTURED BY 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. 1t
started in small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until 1t very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
Finally 1 got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. I
used them in the morning and that
evening, before put my boy to bed,
used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur
prising. the Inflammation seemed to
be so much less. 1 used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured. My son is now in his sew
enteenth year and he has never had
a return of the eczema.
Il took care of friends child that
had eczema on its face and limbs and
used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
They acted on the child just as they
did on my son and it has never re-
turned. Iwould recommend the Cuti-
cura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. j.

THE CANAL WORK.

BY improving his pumping system
Mr.. Thomas was able to considerably
increase the water level IN the New
Iberia Southern Canal the latter par,
of last week. THIS will raise the dredge
to higher leveo and enable the oper.
ator to cut closer to the specifications
of the contract, thereby saving cousid-
erable expense to the contractor.
The specifications, for the extension
work, call for a canal of an average
depth ofsix feet, forty feet wide at the
,Op and thirty feet wide at the bottom.
AZ the dredge boat draws four and a
half feet there is but little margin for
floating the boat. even when the canal
is btim full The "brim full" point
can hardly be maintained. Therefore,
there is but little fear that the canal
will te finished shy of contract depth.
As the dredge is something more than
thirty feet beam and must at all times
float close to the bottom of the finish
ed portion of the canal, il is practical
ly safe to say that wherever this
dredge floats through the terms of thu
contract will have been complied with.
Our last information, on Thursday
evening, indicated that Mr., Thomas
was still engaged IN making altera-
tons and Improvements of the dipper
and machinery which will the better
tit the boat for the work ahead OF her.
This work Is being crowded all posi-
BILE and 1t is hoped that the dredge
will soon be at work again.
A car Of fuel oil was delivered TO the
dfedge this week. Il was taken out
over the f. & A. X. X. and emptted
into a barge at the canal crossing and
then towed up the canal.

1t IL estimated that for every
ton Of cane sugar produced there is
a ton Of iirbious refuse. and hence
in Trinidad, there are 80, 600 tons
Of fibrous material available per
annmm This amount would prob
ably yield 10000 tons of pulp.
worth at least 200, 900 pounds. If
a better class Of paper pulp was
prepared, the yield would possibly
b.. reduced to 10000 tons, worth
l2 pounds per ton. or a total of
500. 900 pounds; or If the megasse
was blended with bamboo and
Para grass, the pulp would be
worth Is pounds per ton or a total
Of 400, 900 pounds. Much Of the
