Day by day has DR.. Anderson de-
tailed his journey. OF the entire first
year spent in the north his report says
nothing, the letter he had sent out
earlier on one Of the two occasions
word was received from the adven-
turers being sufficient in his opinion
to cover that period. OF the second
year, when the provisions tsAen north
by the party had either been eaten
or stolen by the bears and wolverines,
he says but little more.
At the end Of their trip, when death
and starvation stared them In the face,
they stumbled across the carcass of
q 5owhead whale. DR.. Anderson, writ.
ing Of the find, said, THE carcass was
evidently two or three years old, but
the meat was fairly well preserved"
Although it was still early in the aft
ernoon the party camped Immediately
and there dogs and men feasted side
by side. "The meat" wrote DR.. An
derson, was fairly palatable, slightly
acrid but not offensive and all in all
was very filing"
At the conclusion Of their letters
both Mr.. Stefansson and DR.. Ander.
son express themselves as being de
sirous of returning again to the coun'
try in which they spent two such ter
rible years to complete the work they
started.
The first specimens gathered by Mr.
S~tefansson and DR.. Anderson have ar
rived at the Museum of Natural His
tory. The men will reach New Yorl
in the near future.

George Mockler has just returned
from an investigation of what coal

He brought this story from Balti-

An Irishman there inherited a coal
mine up in the state. He immedi-
ately entered the lists for n Of the
big coal contracts and went around
to say a good word for his coal.
The man who was letting the con-
tract heard him a moment. and then
interrupted with:
That's all right, but how about
British thermal units?"
The other, being new to the coal
business, did not know that coal is
rated now according to the British
thermal units in tests.
"Phat's that" he said.
How many British thermal units
are there in your coal?"
The Irishman blinked his eye and
snorted a bit.
British thermal units is it?" he
said. why there amt wan In it.

CANDYMAN'S ANGER PUT ON
He Orders Glucose Salesman Out Of
Store When Customers Are
Present.

The recent flood Of pure food matter
in the papers calls to mind a couple
Of stories told of and by a travelling
salesman who in 1875 represented the
first big glucose factory established in
Buffalo. He sold the stuff to the can
dy makers by the carload. One day a
friend met him in a Boston hotel and
he was in a state Of great indignation.
1t seems that he had been thrown out
by one Of the big candy makers. He
was boiling with rage because the
dealer who had so treated him had
been using glucose for a year or more
and In large quantities and he could
not understand the change In his atti-
tude.
While the two were talking the
candy maker came into the hotel,
walked up to them, smiled at the glu-
cose salesman and said: when I
threw you out this morning my store
was full of customers and | wasn't TAX
ing any chances on some of them
not knowing you and your business,
l wouldn't have 1t known that l am u.s.
ing your glucose for all the profit
that's in it. Never come to my store
again. Let me know that you are here
and I'll call on you. Send me ten bar
rels at once. And nov let's go take
a drink"
The other yarn was about a New
York concern. A grocery house had
purchased ten barrels Of glucose. AS
an experiment they fitted up a top
floor as a honey factory. First they
had the floor concreted, then they
poured In the glucose and on the top
of it 6oated a number Of very thin
boards pierced with holes like a col
ander. Several hundred bees were
then turned loose in the room. They
alighted on the boards and their
weight was cuficient to bring up the
glucose through the holes In the
boards. Hives had been prepared
around the room and when the bees
were surfeited they went into the
hives and stored the honey. 1t was
pure honey and, according to the
salesman, was sold as such.

Master Gregory Graham, aged three,
had been having an e bath. and
breaking away from his older sister
he ran all dripping wet to the door of
the living room, where Mrs. Graham
was entertaining a caller from the
fashionable hotel.

him, you mustn't come in here like

A few minutes later Mrs. Graham
turned toward the door in curiosity

visitors eyebrows up so high, and in
the same moment her sons cheerful
dice rang out:

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, l became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and aus another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch SO as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from n place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be a solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, / doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which l did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time I began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until l was
we'll again, and have not had a re-
currence of the trouble since, which Is
over twenty years. I have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases"
