SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had a sore
come On her cheek 1t started in four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size of
a silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the PIN
pies and wherever that touched il caus-
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be Of any use.
Then I got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything We put on SO that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at a time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but
after I washed it with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint-
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them off. 1t
was only few days before her face
was all healed up, and there has been
no return of the trouble since We
thought that baby's face would surely
be scared, but it is not" (Signed)

FOUND WORKS or STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works of Popular
Writer Unearthed in Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admirer

1t is learned that a number Of new
and relatively important manuscripts
of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer of the great
novelist, who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session OF some of the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result Of this research has been
the finding OF an essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing vol
cano in action, supposedly either the
famed crater of Savaii or the pit OF
Kilauea in Hawaii; piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and a
number of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript, a blank
verse relation Of well-known legend
of Maui, of considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
of effort

City of Surprising Growth.

How much do you know about the
South American city of Sac PaulO?
This Brazilian town, the capital of the
great coffee growing state of the same
name, now has an estimated popula-
tiUn of $50, 600; and it is anticipated
that within fifteen years it will reach
the million mark. Although 1000 new
houses were erected in the city during
the last year, the demand for houses
greatly eXceeds~the supply, owing to
the rapid increase of population, and
rents are exorbitant. A magnificent
opera house, constructed by the
municipality, we-s opened last year
with a brilliant season of Italian
opera The old cathedral is to be
torn down to give place to new one,
which will cost 100000, and will be
one of the notable churches of the
world. Finally vast scheme Of city
improvements has been inaugurated,
under the advice of NJ Bonvard, archi-
tect for the city of Paris. 1t will in
clude splendid 'boulevards and via
ducts. asphalted streets, and q public
garden at an estimated total cost of
$50 1000, 600, toward which the state
government has already appropriated
$500, GOO.

sell sherbets cooled with the SHOWS of Lebanon
and sweetened drinks favored with lico-
rice and altar of roses. the musical clink of
the two brass bowls which these carry and
strike constantly together as they walk, is one
of those characteristic sounds which to one who
has travelled in the orient is inseparable from
every memory of eastern city.
One strange feature will invariably impress it.
self upon the observant visitor to Rangoon and
Hongkong two Of the largest and most splendid
cities of the far east and that is the fact that
they practically horseless cities. especially
Hongkong where horses are seldom or never
seen. In Rangood horses used for carriage
purposes but are never used for the hauling of
freight and merchandise, and in both Rangoon
and Hongkong practically all freight is hauled
about the streets curious freight carts drawn
by numbers of coolies pulling on ropes. In Ran
COON the carts have two large wheels and the
coolies are always Hindus, for no Burman would
so demean himself or so insult his pride as to
become beast of burden. In Hongkong the
freight vans are low, four-wheeled arrangements
and are drawn by half-naked Chinese coolies.
It is a pitiful thing to see how cheap thing Is
human life in this great city of Hongkong, where
nature has done much to create an earthly
paradise
The streets are so steep as to make the of
horses quite impossible and as the greater part
of the European population lvs on the Peak"
or on the steep streets leading up its sides, it
seems to be necessary that many thousands OF
Chinese coolies should sacrifice their lives in
this heart breaking work of burden bearing
these steep mountain roads. There are hundreds
of great mansions and beautiful European villas
on the slopes of the Peak, and in building
these homes every brick and stone, every timber
and pound of mortar had to be carried up from
the city on the backs of Chinese coolies, laboring
for few pitiful pennies day. Every ounce Of
household supplies is brought up in the same
manner on the heads and backs of Chinese cool
les climbing these steep and slippery roads
Coal is transported in sacks of $50 200 pounds
suspended from pole on the shoulders Of two
coolies, who very often are women. Most of the
drinking water is brought up In the same man
ner, and the jewellers in these mountain homes
carried down to business in the city in the
morning and back again to the heights after the
days work is done in sedan chairs, borne on the
shoulders of these faithful coolies The
work of the bearers in the steep streets OF
Hongkong is so trying that it is said coole
seldom lives more than five six years after
taking up this work.
The real comfort and of travelling by
sedan chair is a most surprising thing to one
unfamiliar with this mode of travel A very de-
lightful surprise it is after the soul-rackng
perences of camel back and elephant riding in
Africa and India. The reason for this is that the
bearers Invariably keep step, and as they always

TOLD HER LIES AMBITION
Small Girl Somewhat crudeIy Ex-
pressed Her Desire to Be
Teacher When She Grew UP.

At one time or another during the
ward school life of a little girl there
prevails the ambition to become a
teacher Perhaps it is the indisputable
authority possessed by the hand that
yields the ruler or the nOnchallant dis
play of wisdom on topics surround
ed by the most inaccessible difficulties
10 the small boy and girl. They will
nearly always tell their ambitions to a
well liked teacher, and one rather sur
prising declaration was given by a
little maid in one of Miss Clara Town
sends room before she became princi-
pal of the James school,
Among the special favors coveted
by the youngsters is the permission
to stay behind after school and clean
the blackboards. One evening a little
girl was given the desired privilege,
and while engaged in the task she
struck up a shy sort of conversation
with Miss Townsend. Finally the
usual confession was made.
When ! grow up, am going to be
teacher" she announced
That SOP" pleasantly asked Miss
Townsend. And why do you want
TO be a teacher?"
Well" was the rather surprising
answer. IN have to be either u
teacher or lady, and l would rather

go at a gentle trot the motion is easy and IN nc
way tiresome 1t is strange experience to rlds
hour after hour through the narrow bewldeflng'
crowded streets of this most amazing city on
earth, with halfnaked chair men streaming with
perspiration and constantly yelling at the top of
their voices for the populace to clear the way,
for it is most remarkable thing to see the re-
spect shown to the burden bearer in China. The
man with load always has the right of way,
and the with the heaviest load invariably
is given precedence In this wonderful land OF
China which we have long been taught to
despise, the burden bearer is honored as in no
other land, and labor is exalted in a manner I'M
known to western world
At Shanghai come upon another strange
and peculiarly Chinese mode of conveyance and
burden bearing-the passenger wheelbarrow,
upon which it is necessary to carry two passen-
gers in order to balance the barrow. These bar
rows are very generally used in the Shanghai
district, both as freight carriers and for trans
porting passengers, and it is a decidedly amusing
sight to rich Chinese farmer coun-
try merchant wonderfully arrayed in silks and
balanced by his wife huge crate of poultry,
as he rides into the walled city Of Shanghai ca
one of these numbering wheelbarrows.
In Ceylon, Burma. Siam and the Malay states,
and in many parts OF China, and throughout all
the Islands of Japan, the rickshaw is the common
and almost universal of travel, yet.
curiously enough, the jinrickshaw was the inven-
tio1 of an American missionary to Japan and
unknown to the oriental world less than
seventy years ago.
These rckshaw of Japan most ad-
mirabe class-patient honest, faithful and often
exceedingly well informed. It is most amaz-
ing thing to the politeness and consideration
OF the sturdy rickshaw of Dai Nippon. 1t
is, moreover a politeness born in their souls;
never lacking under the most trying circum-
stances. Under the rules of their business Ell
quette, one rickshaw man may not past an
other without begging his pardon, and the truth
of this was borne upon me very forcibly during
a hurried rickshaw ride across Yokohama one day
when / had only 16 minutes by the watch in
which to catch train for Gotemba. The speed
with which we made that twornile journey
around Yokohamas famous Bund and through
the Bentend oTi to the Tokyo railroad station
neeessitated no less than q several and separate
apologies; at least, lost count at the twenty
seventh Two rickshaws passing rapidly in op
posite directions collided, mixing up the two We
hicles and throwing one of the rickshaw men
to the ground. Again the native Japanese po
likeness asserted itself Instead of abusing one
another and possibly resorting to blows the two
little r1ckshaw men righted themselves, politely
took off their huge mushroom hats bowed most
courteous1y and begged another's pardon,
Imagine two American cabbies apologizing tG
one another after such collision!

He's Not a Chicken Eancier.

Speaking of chickens a funny man
writing in Puck says:
They are the most dadbusted, I'M
certainest creatures that walk the fam
lily acre. Almost every body tries to
raise chickens at one time or another
Looks casy-that's the deceiying part
Of it.
And it is easy after you learn one
thing. Little chickens don't know
anything, medium sized chickens don't
know anything. II there is any change
Of an intellectual nataure as the size
increases the big ones know less if
possible than the little ones.
If there is a wire partition in your
pen with an open door at one end the
chickens viii try to plunge through
the wire instead Of going around and
walking through the door"

Roses in Mndicine

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny
gives % remedies compounded of
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief by sleeping on rose pillows and
one is told that Helogabalus used to
lmblbe rose wine as a pick-me-up
after his periodical gormandizing
hours. The flower was also served
at table, both as a garnish, in the way
parsley is now used, and as a salad,
and rose water was largely used for
flavoring dishes. Roses as food have
gone out of favor among western ma
tions. but the Chinese still eat rose
fritters.
