PlTIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed

weeks he was bandaged from head to

pronounced it chronic eczema. He II

the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try CUT
cura Soap and Ointment.
"Not until l commenced using CUT
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. l don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem.
edies we could hardly look at him, be
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until l would treat him, they
semed to relieve him SO much. CUT

College Women Want Four Children

In the Woman's Home Companion is
an article, entitled rs the American
Man a Failure?" Following is an in
teresting extract:
"A recent investigation among col
lege women was made by Robert
Haven Schauffier, and college women,
as ~canvassed by him. desired at least
our children. The statistics of Har-
ward college shows hat the average
number Of children for the class Of
1884 per married graduate was 200;
for the classe of 1885, 2.07; the class Of
1885, 2.02; class Of 1887, 1.67; class Of
1888. 1.S0; class Of 1889. 1.72, and in
these classes the percentage of married
graduates without children varied be-
tween 10 n 2S per cent. 1t is not
probably that there Is very much diff
ference between the records of Har-
ward college and those Of any other
eastern college for men; IT is q fairly
typical statement of the class Of men
Of this generation, and yet the young
women of the present generation would
be glad to have four or five children.
And in this canvass made by Mr..
Schauffier there were practically no
women who made the statement that
they idn't want any children"

Harvesting a Shark.

~ w. ~. tagan, In WlQo WOrlQ Mas aZln0.
Tho sharks jaws are pried open to
he fullest extent; g stout eight-foot
spar of tough timber, four inches by
four in cross measurement, Is fixed
transversely far back in the angle OF
the jaw, the ends projecting OF either
side. A strong rope leading from the
ends Of the spar is drawn close and
frightened with a clove-hitch round the
fish's tail, behind the wide tail fiukes.
1t Is thus the sailor harnesses his
enemy.
The clamp of the cruel jaws drives
the two-inch long teeth deep into the
tough spar. The tight line holds it in
place, and, struggle as he may, the
shark fails to move the spar an inch
from It's position. AS a finishing touch,
the sailor drew his knife blade across
the sharks eyeballs and let him go.
Bitted and bridled, blinded, with jaws
wide gaping, he swan through a limit
less sea in never ending fatuous cir
cles. The queer furnishings he bore
scared away others of his kind. Lonely
n silent he passed k Cain among
the fishes till starvation and sheer mis-
cry ended his existence.
Cruel? OF curse 1t was. But surely,
like the snake, the shark has
long put himself beyond the pale Of
human mercy. Soft hearted as he US
ually Is, the sailor man has a long
memory. The shark has followed for
weeks in the shadow of his ship and
has watched each man of the crew with
greedy, m~alevolent eye. There Is q
heavy debt against all the shark tribe
for many q lost mariner, and, when
the chance comes to settle old scores.
the sailor pays 1t to the full. Besides
the thing has the sanction Of immemor-
ial custom. 1t was some old Phoeni-
clan, trading out of Tyre to the far
Cassitorides. who. probably first put
the trick In practice.

The Rain Gods of Mandi.

Mandi is one OF the native states Of
India, and the people are superstitious
to "a degree. Fine weather or rain is
obtained by solemn official orders from
the government to the rain gods. the
said deities being duly punished If they
neglect to carry out their instructions.
In the January Wide World Magazine,
&C. Garbett, settlement officer, Mandi
state, fully describes how the rain
gods of Mandi work. The following
is q literal translation OF an order for
sunshine:
To Manager Sahib Upida Jai Dew
The rain has caused great distress; or
ders and offerings to the gods have al
ready been dispatched, No sunshine
has ensued. At the request OF the adj
ministration, be good enough to send
at once for the priest Of the god OF
Chohay (~Passukot), for the priest Of
the god of Parmeswar, and for the
priest of the god Of Nachan 0hese are
the names uf the. localities where the
gods live); n be- good enough to have
fine weather arranged for.

(Signed) wazir Sahib Amar Singh.
(Reply.)
Excellent Wazir Sahib--I have re-
ceived from most exalted administra-
ton the order to cause rain to cease.
l have arranged to send sepoys with
all speed to call in the priests of the
gods, and L will see to everything.
Jai Dew.
, Accordingly the priests n the gods
appeared, but the rain-which, ! may
add, had come from Persia and was
affecting the whole Punjab-did- not
cease.
T%hereupon the priests were ordered
to fast until the fine weather appeared
end sacrifices Of q goat apiece were
made to the gods. 1t cleared a lit
tie then, but no sooner had the priests
had a meal than down came the rain
once more.
This was too much for his highness'
administration, and orders were
promptly passed for the neglectful gods
to be locked UP and not allowed out
until the skies cleared.
The skies cleared the very next day,
the first day Of the fair. 1t remained
fine during the whole of the fair and
poured the following day. To this ]
car testify.
The vizier and the gods between them
shared the credit for the success Of the
mela, or festival, n the people have
received fresh proof of the power OF
their idols. The native Of Mandi sees
nothing homogeneous in .worshipping, In
q very ecstacy OF reverence the very
god whom tomorrow he will treat as

Why Bore Holes Turn to tho North,
From the Neu Nnrk Wnrll

Mining engineers have often been
puzzled over the fact that in most Of
h bore holes extending to a depth ap-
preaching 1000 feet, a marke devia-
ton was observed, usually directed
~northward. 1t seemed impossible to
drive a bore toward the center OF the
earth and prevent 1t from shooting of
at an angle toward the north pole or
Siberia.
A possible explanation Of this re-
markable phenomenon is suggested by
]. 9. Curtis, I'm the Mining World. In
consequence of its rotation in the
earth's magnetic field, the shaft and
boring tool becomes strongly nag
netized with the south pole pointing
upward. The shaft being very long,
h poles are not at extremities. but
some distance from the I'M The at
traction eXerted by the earth's field up
or the north pole OF the shaft. situated
at the bottom, produces a curvature Of
the shaft in such direction that its
convexity is directed toward the south,
and thus the boring tool receives an
inclination, causing the bore hole to
deviate toward the north. This devia-
ton accumulates more and more. In
such cases, as the deviation takes place
In some other direction han the usual
one the fact Is probably attributable
TO the obliquity Of the strata.

REV. PINkHAM
DISCOURAGED

Denver, Feb. 23.-'.Religion is
bound to advance as we'll as politics
or business. There are compara-
lively few broadminded people in
this city, and especially on the
north side. There are not enough
In the neighborbood OF the Bethany
Baptist Unitarian church to support
the church or the pastor. My con-
gregation and myself are upon the
best of terms. but the church has
been declining in the last few years
and there is not enough of the con-
gregation left to support the
church"
The foregoing is the statement
given by Rev. Henry w Pinkham
as the reason for his resignation
from the pulpit of the Bethany Bap-
tist Unitarian church. The resig-
nation was handed in at the regular
meeting Of the church and will take
effect as soon as the affairs of the
church can be arranged. The resiK-
nation of the pastor came as a COM
plete surprise to the members of the
congregation. Rev Mr.. Pinkham
has been pastor of the church since
it broke away from the Baptist
faith, through its two years of in
dependence. and since it entered
the Unitarian fold.
