Rattlesnakes That Swim.

There is one curious thing that the
o. G.. has noticed on the Winnipiseo-
CESS islands-the smaller islands
which are situated say mile or so
from the mainland-the presence of
mice and once in a while rat. Now,
the question is, how do these pests
get from the mainland to the islands.
Swim? One old cottager says that he
has theory that perhaps the parent
rates, or mice, come in luggage, like
packing boxes, that convey the goods
of settlers on the islands. Still, it is
possible that they swim from the
mainland. The o. G. once told the
story that rattlesnakes now and then
swan from Rattlesnake island to the
mainland shore. Nearly everybody
has laughed at the editor for making
that statement Well, if you don't be-
lieve it, ask Professor Thyng. the
teacher of drawing in the Manchester
public schools, who owns a piece OF
land on the Clifford shore, or did own
lot there. He will tell you that
rattlesnakes swimming across the lake
are not myth by any means.-Man-

A Hobby Luncheon.

A college girl described this affair
to me, and l saw it's possibilities even
for those not in the hey-dey OF youth,
for who of us hasn't some hobby
which we ride, either fast or slow, and
In some instances sit" rides US. The
guests were eight girls, all students
at the same university, and all next
to each others whims and fancies.
The centerpiece was small hobby
horse ridden by a dolly dressed In
cap and gown. At each place were
small hobby horses with the name
cards attached by ribbons in the class
colors. No names were written, but
all found their places by the clever
drawing in pen and ink on the cards.
For instance. the girl with musical
ambitions found herself Ten years
hence with hand organ and a
monkey grinding out Home, Sweet
Home" The stout girl (she called
herself plump was represented rolling
down hill with the words, Il have lost
one-eighth of a pound" the maiden
who was to be teacher Tin her own
mind, was depicted as fashionable
society woman playing bridge; and the
golf-girl found herself with Cupid peer
ing out of her bag and the words, "A
clever stroke" underneath. When all
We're seated the hostess asked each
one to explain why her hobby was
commendable, and she told them to
look under their place plates, and
there they found quantity worded in
vitations asking them to meet her ten
years from date and see how the
hobby horses had been ridden. If i'm
possible to be present, letters were to
be sent to be read aloud. At the fin

RASH ALL OVER BABYS BODY
ITCHED so HE COULD
NOT SLEEP

"On July 27, 1909. we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
a few days a nasty rash came out all
over his body We took him to doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
my trouble started with a pimple on
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch it with
it developed into sores, and we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change Of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better. and it used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have had no
further trouble with baby's skin. Moth
ing stopped the itching, and allowed
baby to sleep but Cuticura Soap and
