TaSmania,s Waterways.

Tasmania is magnificently watered,
It has two noble waterways-the Der
went in the south, and lamar in the
north. The Huon, also fine stream,
provides water carriage into the heart
of one of the chief orcharding dis
tricts. The Derment is navigable for
small craft for many miles above Ho-
bart while intercolonial steamers
trade regularly to Launceston, and
berth easily 40 miles from the sea.
These are the main watercourses, and
they are fed by innumerable tribu
taries. The two cities and most of the
smaller towns are consequently well
supplied with beautiful water, while
away on a highland plateau in the
center of the island is a range of lakes
of vast capacity. The possibilities of
power from them are immense, though
engineers say the initial expense
would be heavy. The South Esk pro-
vides Launceston with the power for
its municipal electrical installation,
The northern city is one of the best
lighted in Australasia Many of its
manufactures use electrical power

look as if it just came from the store,
and will not be out of shape.

A roughly dressed man went into a
drug store and presented a doctors
prescription to the clerk. This pa,

He ierked gently. The train had
started to move.
His antagonist, who was more than
twenty, braced herself and ierked in
turn. Aldrich caught unawares,
banged against the metal arm of the
seat Other passengers began to no
ttce the controversy. The lawyer was
hotly aware that amused faces were
turned in his direction.
Strange you should forget your
coat and not your bag" said the girl,
with meaning scorn. Her cheeks
were glowing and she was handsomer
than ever. And equally strange that
it should be black, silk-lined and silk
faced, just like my brothers."
Aldrich looked out of the window
despairingly. The train was well un-
der way; the snow-covered landscape

missed his connection at the junction ;

The girl turned joyfully. "Oh

wince-"has mistaken your coat for
his. And he's trying to take it away
from mel"
We'll, well!' Georges voice shook
strangely. Funny | hadn't noticed it
seeing I'm wearing my own coat
And the robber is Aldrich, naughty
three Brink, you old pirate!"
Aldrich sat at his desk Monday
morning, engaged in day dream, de
spite the fact that the outer Office was
full of clients. His feet rested among
scattered papers on the surface of the
mahogany; his hands were clasped
behind his head
Thus ran his musings: "She's q
darling! And to think she's old George
Mellody's sister. Dorothy Melody
Dorothy Mellody-Dorothy! Mighty
pretty name, that"
His eyes became more alert
"Princeville isn't any farther from the

George. And to think that If 1t hadn't
been for that blessed cinder I wouldn' t
have met her! If that isn't luck, the
greatest of luck
He stopped and glanced over his
shoulder guiltily; but there were no
grubby hands rustling his papers; no
shrill whistle In the outer Office
His feet came down off the desk
He reached for a sheet of paper and
pen, and wrote rapidly. With an
honest shame-faced grin he read what
he had written: Dear Wad-Come
back to work. I have changed my
mind; there is such a thing as luck,
after all" He signed his name, sealed
the note, and rang for messenger.
"There!" he said, squaring his
shoulders. And then: Dorothy Mel

PlTIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an in1amed spot on u baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced 1t chronic eczema. He Is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
Not until l commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and l had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before We used the Cuticura Rem.
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until | would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.

CARING FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Thirty-Nine State and ia Local sana-
toria Provided, but These Are
Only a Beginning.

In spite of the fact that state sana-
toria and hospitals for tuberculosis
have been established in 81 states, and
ia municipal OF county hospitals in
26 states, vastly more public provision
is needed to stamp out consumption,
says the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
Nearly every state east of the Missis-
sippi river has provided a state sana-
torium, and west of the Mississippi
river, state sanatoria have been es-
tablished in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana
and Oregon. There are 3S sanatoria
provided by these states, Massachu-
sets having four, Connecticut and
Pennsylvania three and Texas two. In
Guiding special pavilions and aims
houses, there are ia municipal or
county hospitals for the care of tuber-
culosis patients.
Apart from these institutions, how
ever, and a few special pavilions al
prisons, hospitals for the insane, and
some other public institutions, a grand
total of hardly 200, the institutional
care of the consumptive is left to pri-
vate philanthropy.

Weeds, weeds everywhere: they

may be derived from weeds.
They are of some use in the world

The gnomes OF twilight built their castle
high,
They heaped the clouds in massive pile
on pile
With domes and towers topping all the
sky.
They flung up walls and pillars all the
while:
Far to the south its utmost limit ran.
Far to the north its battlements were
flung
A castle like none ever made by man.
And high above a crimson banner
swung.
Out OF the sunset haze the castle rose.
AS though evoked by some weird ne
cromance;
There were no sounds of mighty hammer
blows
From any part OF all the vast expanse.
Yet still 1t grew; and silver bars were
laid
Across the walls; and tints in fold on
In mystic colors came to glow and fade
Beneath the flashing cornices of gold.
Then came the hush. and out of nowhere
came
The ciamorous artillery OF storm.
Battalions took the charge. and sheets of
flame
Showed where their lines raced up in
