Cause For Not Refusing.

The Countess Howe always had
very strict religious scruples, and
never accepted any invitation on Sun
day, but always devoted that day to
her serious duties On one occasion
at Windsor, when she was in attend
ance on the queen, some party was
proposed by the king for Sunday, at
which he was anxious that she should
be present But the countess could
not be induced to deviate from her
fixed plans of seclusion on that day.
The queen, who was a witness of the
discussion, was surprised at the coun-
tess's drmness, and could not help
saying afterwards to her:

Unknown Gives Gold to the Blind.

An extraordinary gift Of gold to
blind man by an anonymous donor
took place recently, in the Potteries,
says the London Mail. A well-known
blind man of Kent street, Hanley,
who is regularly to be seen in the
principal thoroughfares playing port
able organ, was standing III Lamb
street, Hanley, when gentleman,
who is unknown to him, pressed
small parcel into his hand, and asked
him to put it into his pocket The
man did so, and half an hour later the
gentleman returned, and asked him IL
he had opened the parcel. He replied
in the negative, and his unknown
benefactor then informed him that
the parcel contained money, the re-
cipient then asked the gentleman his
name, but the donor had disappeared.
When the blind man reached his home
he found to his great amazement that
the parcel contained 500 in gold.
This is the second gift of gold within
a few weeks to blind men in the Pot
teries. In the first case an unknown
donor dropped ten sovereigns In the
blind mans can.

 But the fat boy, fiat on his stom- ach and spread out to his widest ex- tent, ignored these warning cries and steadily crept toward the black hole and Tommy's clinging fingers.
 Once the ice made cracking sound and the watchers yelled with dismay. But the fat boy did not halt. Nearer and nearer he came, and finally his outstretched hands caught those cling ing fingers and drew the small boy, lit tie by little, onto the firmer ice and so to safety.

PlMPLEs COVERED HIS BACK

My troubles began along In the summer in the hottest weather and took the form of small eruptions and itching and a kind of smarting pain. It took me mostly all over my back and kept getting worse until finally my back was covered with mass of pimples which would burn and itch at night so that I could hardly stand it. This condition kept getting worse and worse until my back was solid mass of big sores which would break open and run. My underclothing would be a clot of blood.
 q tried various remedies and salves for nearly three years and I was not getting any benefit. It seemed I was In eternal misery and could not sleep on my back or lean on a chair. I was finally given a set of the Cuticura Remedies and inside of two weeks could see and feel a great relief. I kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment and also the Resolvent, and in about three or four months time my back was nearly cured and felt like new being Now am in good health and no sign of any skin diseases and am fully satisfied that Cuticura Reme- dies are the best ever made for skin diseases.

The entire army of occupation consists of 234, 4,000 men, more than 156,000 of whom are natives. While dark hints as to their loyalty have been thrown out for sev- eral years, there was no suggestion of lack of fealty in the great displays that marked the durbar, and the crowning of an English King as En- peror in India will tend to cement the bonds of allegiance between the Ori- ental empire and Great Britain.

GUARD PANAMA CANAL LOCKS
Spring Buffer Stringers That Will Protect Vessels and Approach
 Walls in the Big Waterway.

Colon.-Fenders in the form of a continuous line of beams or stringers, 12x16 inches, in section, suspended by short chains or hangers and bearing every five feet against castings. sup ported by four helical springs, placed in cups in the concrete, will protect the walls of the approaches to the Panama canal locks against damage from the ships.
 The approach to the locks is formed by an extension of the center wall to distance varying from 1,445 to 1,700 feet beyond the first lock lock gates. and by wing walls which make an angle of about thirty degrees with the outside walls and extend three to four hundred feet beyond them. When the ships bump against these walls as they are hauled into the locks by the electric towing loco motives, the stringers will take the shock. The hangers are located every fifteen feet along the walls. The
