NEW YORK, July Trading was on

Hartman stocks were little changed,
notwithstanding the courts approval,
after the market closed yesterday. of the

Union Pacific and Southern Pacific both

the next transaction declined to yester-
days close.
The only stock to move more than

Prices gave way under what was be

ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST

Pierson, N. Dakota.-"The eczema
started on my scalp. 1t finally went
on to the back Of my neck, then on to
my back, arms and chest. 1t broke
out in pimples first and then seemed
to run together in some places, max
ing a sore about the size of dime.
At times the itching and burning were
so intense that it seemed unbearable.,
The more I scratched it the worse it
became, and there would be a slight
discharge from it, especially on my
scalp, so as to make my hair matted
and sticky close to the scalp. The
hair was dry, lifeIess and thin. My
hair was falling so terribly that had
begun to despair of ever finding re-
lief. My clothing irritated the erup-
ton on my back. The affected parts
were almost a solid scab.
II had been bothered with eczema
for about a year and half. Then

Frarkiin's Lightning Rods.

A discovery of historic and scien-
tiic interest has just been made at
st. PauPs cathedral, London, which
is being overhauled at the present
moment. While the cross on the top
of the dome was being re-gilded, and
having new lightning conductors in
stalled, the workmen discovered part
of one of the original iron bar con-
ductors erected over 40 years ago
under the supervision of Benjamin
Franklin, the inventor of the light
ming conductor, and this bar, having
been inside one Of the towers and so
not exposed to the weather, was still
in a good state of preservation. The
fixing of these Franklin rods" as
they were called, led, at the time, to
heated controversy as to whether
lightning conductors should have
points or balls as terminals. The
president of the Royal society. who
advocated points, had to resign. King
George III. was strong adherent to
ball terminals, but time has confirmed
Franklin's own views on the subject

THAT RUG FOR THE BATHROOM
lem, but lie Solution May
Be FoUrd.

Somehow bathroom rug is a mora
or less unsatisfactory proposition. It
is very likely because water viii
splash upon it and damp towels and
unsupported feet insist upon seeking
its soft surface. And so, from sheer
sanitary necessity, the bathroom rug
must be washable; and from sheer
contrariness will slip and wriggle-at
least nine out of ten do.
But there is one kind that is more
quietly inclined than most, because it
is heavier-the old rag rug Of our
grandfathers' days. Cut an oval from
some heavy washable material the size
you desire the rug when finished.
Denim would answer the purpose.
Then from strips Of some heavy, soft.
washable goods make an even braid,
being careful to fold in the rough
edges neatly while plating the strips.
The braid may be as wide or as mar
row as you wish, and the strips cut
accordingly. If the rug is TO be blue
and white, have one strip Of white and
two Of blue, so that the rug will not
show the soil too easily. Do not have
the strips too long, and have one short
er than the other. This is to prevent
them from becoming tangled in the
plating, another strip can be attached
to it neatly and the joining will be
scarcely perceptible.
Braid only short length at time,
sewing them to the oval piece Of
denim, which forms the foundation, as
they are finished. Use strong linen
thread and sew along each edge Of the
braid. concealing the stitches under
the loose parts of the braid.
