The remarkable advance that has
been made in the Introduction Ct mu-
sic and drawing in the public schools
of Maine is clearly indicated by the
special tabulations made fer the last
school year. In 10 cities and towns
of the State provision is made tor spe-
cial instruction in drawing at "a total
cost of $4,000 while u cities and
towns expended total of $27, 296 for
special instruction in music. These
figures, of course, do not show the
entire expenditure of the State in
these special subjects since they are
taught by the regular class room
teachers of very many towns which
do not provide special instructors.

Search for the bodies of Mrs. Aus
tin Elwell and two children, which
has been prosecuted with few inter
ruptions for several weeks when she
jumped with them into the deep va
ter of the abandoned Perry quarry. at
Rockland, has been necessarily aban-
doned. Ice has formed to such thick
ness that ii is no longer feasible to
drag. Relatives OF the missing wo-
man undertook to raise money by
popular subscription to have the quar-
ry pumped, but this project was
abandoned because of the extreme eX-
pense. 1t is estimated it would take
two and possibly three months to
pump the Perry quarry.

ing that children are driven away
from the tracks because they might
pick up a few chunks of scattered
coal or few bits of kindling; but /
do not think that idea is general.
We want to save our coal, but much
more do we want to save the boys
and girs from mutilation and death
and to save the parents from sorrow.
For this purpose hope we may OBJ
tain the cooperation of parents every
where. Unless we get this, and es-
pecially uness parents do their duty
in this important matter, other boys

1t is true that the law against tres

fun there may lie in p aging on the

SUFFERED TORTURES
WITH ECZEMA
Spots Burst and Ran All Over Face.
Sore and lnAamed. Had to Tie
Mittens on Hands. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Cured Completely.

Freeland, Md" Baby's eczema started
IN little spots and would burst and run all
over his face and wherever the water would
touch his face. it would make another sore.
Pimples would break out and make his face
sore and inflamed. and he was very cross
and fretful. 1t was awful. He suffered
tortures from it. and we had to tie mittens
on his hands to keep him from scratching.
We tried everything We knew and had him
to three doctors. but they could not help
him. A friend of mine told me of the Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment and | went to n
drug store and bought them. When We
would bathe his face with the Cuticura Soap
and apply the Cuticura Ointment. he would
be much better. He would wake up in the
nights and cry with his face and we would
put on some of the Cuticura Ointment and
then he would rest all right. By keeping
this up every day his face began to heal and
then got well altogether. He suffered Just
about year before We used the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and they have cured
him completely of the eczema. We use the

TRESPASSlNG ON RAILROADS.
A Condition Of Vital Interest to Par.
ents and Children.

Trespassng on railroad property Is
known by reports of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to be de-
cidedly dangerous pastime. over %
per cent of all the people killed on
the railroads of this country last year
were trCspassers, men women and
children who had no business or right
on railroad property.
Every day last year fourteen tres
passers were killed-over 5000 Five
thousand) during the year-an appa i
ing truth Contrary to a common
suspicion, only 10 per cent of this
number were tramps or hoboes, 70 per
cent We're reputable people who used
railroad property as a thoroughfare,
and in spite of warnings given them
not to do so, and 20 per cent we're
children under IA years Of age.
Commenting on this, Mr.. n. l.. How
ard, superintendent of the c., B. 4
G. r. r., at Burlington, Iowa, recent
ly published an open letter to parents
on which ne said:
To-day, somewhere in this country,
two or three little children have been
killed playing around tracks and cars.
So it was yesterday, so it will be to-
morrow, and so it averages, day in
and day out, all through the year.
The railways and their employees
are not callous to the sorrow caused
in this way; on the contrary, they
are doing all they can to avoid these
the saddest of all accidents. Thei e
is not trainman or sWitchman in
our yards who has not time and again
admonished children against the dan
ger of clipping" cars, not one who
does not dread the ever present pos
sibility of having to lift some broken
body from under the car whee,s. Al.
that we railroad men can do about it,
however, it very little; children con
tinue to come every day to our yard
to play on the tracks, to hop on the
cars, too often to meet with disaster
because it is impossible for us to keel
an eye on every one of them or keel
them all away. 1t is bad enough tc
run over grown-up trespassers, but
cannot something be done to stoT
killing children?
1T seems to me something can b,
done. | feel that the parents of this
country should be frankly told about
the situation and their interest ap
pealed to in the matter of keeping
children away from railroad grounds
except when they are legitimatelJ
called there.

people get an erroneous understand
