O dry harsh scale covering it. First 1t
got white scale over the top and
then 1t got dirty brown scab with
pus under it. Her hair came out in
less than a week and her head itched
and bled She had no rest. ] had her
wear a scarf all the time, it looked so
badly. She was so sore and had such
big brown scabs on her head that the
teacher would not let her attend
school.
I'VE took and had her treated for
three months with no relief. She kept
getting worse until l tried Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-

Eye Alone Detects lceberss.

There at present is no absolute
method of detecting icebergs, except
Captain c. f. Johnson and A. s. Gam
BILE of the cutters Seneca and Miami,
which patroled the route of the trans
atlantic liners from April to May.
Captain Johnson refuted the preva-
lent theory that a sudden drop in tenn
perature meant the proximity of ice
bergs. Little or no change in tempera-
ture was noticeable, he said. Nor can
icebergs, as generally supposed, be
detected with any certainty by an
echo from ships whistle or bells,
as, according to Captain Johnston, a
perpendicular berg may give an echo
from some directions, but a slanting
face reflects the sound. About ninety
per cent. of the Senecas efforts to
get echoes were futile.
The presence of INJURIES "a kind OF
auk), the officer declares, indicated
the presence of icebergs, but he ad
vises mariners to pay no attention
to other birds.

AS a matter of fact these mosquitoes
that have had no difficulty in pushing
their way through the smallest mesh

for that reason we hear no song. The
males are larger, perhaps cannot make
their way through the screens, and re-

or join in numbers and give hallelu-

The sisters have an Unsuitable thirst

and he does not come into our houses.
While the sisters are inside drinking

Sweet Gladys, being tender-hearted,
T. Ceased wearing birds upon her hat
The day the anti-birdites started
To show the cruelty of that.
Her furs ere long began TO grleve her.

The seal. the sable and the beaver

She next decided to quit eating
The flesh of fowls and fish and beasts;
No more should ewes go sadly bleating
Because their lambs composed her
feasts
At length she reached the deep convic-
That wooden clothes with sin were
fraught;
The locks must suffer and affilction
In being fleeced, or so she thought.
In time she even gave up Cruel
Because to rob the grubs and birds
OF what they fed upon was cruel,
To use her own sweet. simple words.

From cotton, too. she sadly turned.
Because God made II for the weevil.
This from her conscience Gladys
learned.
At last, with only leaves TO cover
The charms that once had made her
proud.
She turned from friends and home and
lover.
And He'd, bare-footed from the crowd.
But soon she gave up fruits and berries
To leave them for the worms inside.
And then, relieved of all her worries,
Lay down upon the grass and died.
