PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHIMG

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with a very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, 1t came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days 1t would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
Il consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.

without any relief at all. Then l
wrote for 6 book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticurc. Soap and ONT
ment at the drug store. / did as 1

let, and when she waC one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is

lin.
1t Is planned that these scientists
shall devote about three months to
this work, returning to Europe about
the end Of January. OF this time
thirty or forty days will be spent on
the Dead Sea itself, and the rest of the
time in land work ashore. 1t Is an.
nounced that the Investigations will
follow on the same line with the Uni
ted States survey of the Dead Sea by
Lieutenant Lynch in 1S48, as far as
that admirable work extended. 1t will
follow up the lines of the Duke de
Luyne's explorations in 1864. Since
these dates no important photographic
or chemical researches have been
made. At the command of the late
sultan of Turkey DR.. Blankenhorn
made Investigations in different scien-
tific directions a few years ago, whose
preliminary report touched on many
questions of much interest, but, as far
as the writer can ascertain, his final
report has not been made accessible
to scholars generally.
1t is popularity asserted that the
depth Of the Dead Sea has been grad
ually increasing during the last few
decades-that is not to say that the
waters have been steadily encroach-
Ing on the shores. This apparently is
proved by the existence of partly sub
merged forests on the east shore and
by gradual disappearance of an island
that appears in sketches and photo
graphs of the north end Of the sea
made thirty or forty years ago. This
question will doubtless be authorita-
lively decided by the Investigations
about to be made.

MANY COURT DEATH
Hunters Every Year Venture
Forth on Niagara River.
NImrods Caught In Running Ice Jam
Observed by Man With Glass, Who
Watches Them Plunge Over
the Falls.

Buffalo, N. Y.-The fascination of
hunting must be very great when it
will lure men out onto the Niagara
river in the winter to an almost GER
tain death trap. 1t seems that the
duck hunting is especially good but
very dangerous about a mile above the
falls. Every winter adventurous duck
hunters put out in small boats and
dodge the ice cakes while they hunt
their favorite game. AS a rule, how
ever, most of the hunters perch them
selves upon a ledge of ice and hunt
from 1t. They take a terrible risk even
by this method, for the ice jam that
is constantly moving down stream is
at any time liable to dislodge the hunt
er's perch and down he goes a victim
to the merciless cataract.
Not many years ago two men
observed in a duck boat trying des-
perately to row out of a running ice
jam which had carried them down the
Canadian channel from far up the
river. Their terrified efforts were
closely followed by a nan with a spy
glass, who had discovered them from
the windows of one of the large shore
factories on the American side. The
unfortunate men had already drifted
too near the first roaring cataract to
admit Of any possible rescue, so the
watcher could only helplessly wait for
their pitiful death.
In describing the incident afterward,
he said: God, what could do to help
them-what could any man do? The
Almighty alone seemed to hold them
in his power. One man seemed to be
w%renching his shoulders from their
sockets with the oars; the other stood
in the stern, desperately plying a pike
pole. An oar broke, and was replaced
by a third. The man didn't lose a sec.
ond in its replacement. Then, in a
mighty stroke, the other a went,
and he fell ~sprawling back in the boat.
He stood up, pulled the good oar from
Its pin, and began padding ~insanely
from the side.
They made little progress. Slowly
the great field of ice swept them
down, down toward those snarling,
angry cataracts below. l writhed in
agony before the hopeless vision. Into
the rapids swept the fore part of the
ice jam. Then the first great wave
seemed to rise up and hover hungrily

END OF HISTORIC HOUSE
Residence Of Nine. de Sevlgne of Paris
to Be Turned Into Homes for
Workmen.

Paris.-One Of the residences oil
Madame de Sevigne, whose letters re-
vealed so much of the inner history of
France during the days of lie grand
monarque," is about to lose it's his
toric character. 1t Is a country house
near Livry, on the way to Gargan, and
1t used to be called Madame de Sc
vigne's "folie.' "Folie" was a name
given in the days of Louis XIV, and in
later years to any country seat over
which an owner INDUCED an uncom-
mon fancy in the matter of it's design.
One of the characteristics of
Madame de Sevigne's "folie" was a
quaint, little chapel, and near 1t a GU
rious sort of belfry, which long ago
fell into ruins. The rest of the CHI
teau is fairly wen preserved. 1t was
In this quaint residence that Madame
de Sevigne is believed to have writ
ten many of her letters to her daugh-
ter.
1t is now sharing the fate of many
a similar relic of the past. 1t is being
transformed into a modern resort of
utility. An association providing cot
tage accommodations for the working
classes has obtained possession of the
house and grounds. The old hall has
already been converted, and, with the
additions In progress, it will become
a vast caravansary of about 100 rooms.
with as many kitchens and offices.
Most of the old walls will remaia
standing, but the Transformation will
be such that future visitors will hard
ly recognize any vestige of Madame de
