PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

II have suffered from the same
trouble painful finger nails) at differ
ent periods Of my life. The first time
Of its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, l asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but 1t was
not for a year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflamma-
ton and suppuration began at the base
Of the finger nail. Sometimes it was
so painful that / had to use a poultice
to induce suppuration. After the pus
was discharged the swelling would go
down until the next period of in1am-
nation, possibly not more than a week
or two afterwards. These frequent in
Examinations resulted in the loss of the
nail.
Perhaps ten years later, I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again 1 tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor Of
a friend of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for a time, but 1t vas
not a permanent cure; next, tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was SO irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that 1 could not use it.
1 began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. I did not use
the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base Of the
nail every night thoroughly, and as
often beside as I could. 1 had not used
1t but a few weeks before my nails
were better, and in a short time they
were apparently well. There was
no more suppuration, nor in1amma-
ton, the nails grew out clean again.
One box of Cuticura Ointment was all
that 1 used in effecting a cure.

Home Missionaries in Korea.

A missionary of Seoul, on the way
home from a service outside the East
Gate. overlook a couple of women
with their Bibles and hymn-books
tied about their waists climbing n
of the hills. On asking n of them,
whom he recognized, where they had
been she replied, "Over to that vii
lage," pointing to a cluster of houses
in the valley below. Although the
hill was rather steep, the women did
not seem to notice it, and when we
stopped, after some putting on my
part, | asked their ages. The one
said sixty-six, the other sixty.
Does not this walking tire your"

we go so often, and much farther
than this" ooh, you are Bible wom-
e n?" mo; we go to read and pray
with the women, for we want them all
to know of our happy faith" was the
answer, with such bright faces as
carried conviction OF their joy. With
such home missionaries, is it any
wonder Korea is becoming a land of
Christians missionary Herald.

Cali my unpleasant symptoms, the
heartburn, the inflated feeling which

HIS BRAVE ACT UNREWARDED
5estowal Of Two Black Eyes Alto
gether Too Much for Heiress to
Overlook.

They were a pleasant party at the
country house, and it was only nat
ural that Harvey Hardupp should
fall in love with Clarissa Coyne, the
heiress.
One afternoon they went for a row
on the river, but their boat struck a
floating tree and sank, leaving them
struggling in the water.
Mad with terror, she threw her
arms around his valiant neck, almost
strangling him. But he was deter
mined to save her, SO raising his fist
he struck her twice, making her I'M
conscious, and thus enabling him to
save her.
She was carried to her room, and
next day, when Harvey called, this
note was handed to him:
"Sir-I quite admit that 1t was
necessary to make me unconscious
in order to save me, but you might
have been careful not to black both
my eyes. We part forever!-C.
Coyne."

A movement has been started to pur-

cry of this commission for a national
park.
The campaign which Gen. Grant
planned at the cabin which was his
first headquarters as general brought
him advancement from Brigadier Gen
eral to Major General and was the
real beginning of his career as a vic
torious commander.
A graduate of West Point, who had
seen service in the Mexican war,
Grant had left the army because he
could not support his family on his
salary. He tried farming near St.
Louis, became a real estate agent
without much financial success, and
in 1860 moved his family to Galena,
H., where he became a clerk in his
fathers leather store.
At the outbreak of the Civil war he
drilled a company organized at Ga
lena and accompanied them to Spring

ular Mechanics. l took a pine stick
twelve feet two inches wide and sew
en-eighths of an inch thick. and
hinged a two-foot length of the same
material to it's side SO that the ends
were even, and placed an o~ld-fashioned
half-round tin cup on each strip so
that their openings would register. A
row of holes were punched around the
edge so that a soft pad could be
sewed in each cup.
A stout cord was attached to the
short piece and run through a hole in
the long piece allowing end enough to
equal the length of the long strip. A
piece of heavy clockspring was placed
between the strips to keep them apart.

Experiments With strawberries.

Experiments made at the Pennsyl-
vania experiment station show that
hill strawberries are not larger and
better formed than those grown in
matted rows, provided the. matted row
is a narrow one. Both hills and mat
ted rows produced fruit somewhat in
ferior to that from narrow matted
rows. 1t is evident that different soil
conditions and cultural methods, es-
pecially in the matter Of manuring,
would change these results somewhat
mor favorably to the hill system.
