ITCHING, BURNING ERUPTION

Thomasviile, Ala.-"I suffered with
eczema on my hands and feet two or
three years. About eleven years ago /
became troubled with an itching, burn

about day or two when l would let
the water out or wash 1t out, using my
hands, then the places would tester

FAMOUS OLD MEXICAN CITY

corruption of the Word Mictlan, mean
ing the place of DEATH" The modern
village and the ancient ruins occupy
the center of an arid plain or valley,
surrounded on all sides by equally
arid hills, on the highest summit
of which are the well-preserved re-
mains of a great fortress, whose
walls are Of a rough construc-
ton and without ornament of any
kind. Nearly In the center of the
plain five great groups of buildings
stand out completely exposed. Many
of them are now nearly shapeless
mounds and masses of ruins. Two
great groups, however, are in compar-
atively perfect preservation, a third
is incorporated with an old church,
and fourth, the great sacriflcial
mound, is surmounted by the ruins of
very ancient church. The principal
buildings are Of stone masonry.

ON EGYPT'S FAMOUS RIVER
Sailing On Its Placid Waters Rowers
Weirdly Chant as They Tug
at Their Oars.

AS we sat on deck, beneath the min
arets of the mosque, the skies slowly
turned from orange to lilac and purple
OF night, throwing strange pink light
over the city's buildings. Ariche Bell
writes in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The minosa trees and date palms be-
came black and great white cranes,
seemingly knowing that their wings
had an appropriate background. cir
cled over our heads, over the deep
azure river and over the many white
sailed dahabeahs that were floating
along In the breezeless night. propelled
by rowers who were chanting weirdly
as they tugged at the oars.
Dimly we could see the black draped
figures Of numberless women approach
the rivers brink and we knew that the
splashes In the water were caused by
the dropping of the heavy jugs, which
they twirl around till they are filled,
after which they raise them laborious-
ly to their heads and then skip up the
banks and disappear In the darkness of
the night.
The sounds of the city ceased and all
was quiet. All but the plaintive lay of
a piper who must have been some
where not far off on the bank Of the
river. 1t seemed that he was playing
the love song of Larbi or Benz Mora.
1t was monotonous and drowsy and in
voked sleep. In the morning before
dawn l heard the boys pulling the
stake near my window. had fallen
asleep to native music, and now was
awakened by their song. AS we start
ed up the river, the clarion call of the
muezzin rang out from the minaret.
For good Mohammedans 1t meant that
new day had begun-but for infidel
Americans. there were several addi-
tional hours of sleep.

New Wireless for AeropIanes.

John Hays Hammond, Jr., has per-
fected at Gloucester, Mass, wireless
telegraph apparatus for aeroplanes
which he intends to sell to the gov.
eminent. His instrument embodies
several new features which have not
yet been made public, among them a
new coherer 20 times as sensitive as
those now In use. This will enable
aviators to receive messages as well
as send them. To the present time
the wireless instruments used on aero
planes have been only to transmit,
and the inability to receive messages
has kept the operators tied to their
base of instructions.

The Flea.

Speaking of fieas-and they are a
common topic of conversation in some
parts of the United States-as com.
mon subject as mosquitoes in New
Jersey or flies in other piaces-certain
British and other scientists have late
ly discovered that a flea becomes old
and infirm within twenty days after
its birth, although some feas have
been known to live to be ninety days
old when especially well-fed. Up to
the fifteenth day of Its career the flea
is able to do considerable amount
Of execution. After that length of
time 1t becomes rather sluggish and
Indifferent. These are important ad-
ditions to the literature of the flea.
1t has long been known that the flea
is no respecter Of persons, is, In fact,
very promiscuous in its associations:
that 1t Is extremely agile; that a
settlement of fleas anywhere soon be
comes overcrowded; that fleas thrive
on most poisons; that they can easily
distract ones attention from the most
important topics, and that they are
meaner, much meaner than flies in
their manners-are, in fact, the most
impolite of insects.

FRENCH LEGION or HONOR
HighIy-Prized Decoration Which Every
Son OF France Has the Ambl-
tIon to Receive.

The first decorations of the Legica
of Honor, the famous French order of
merit, were conferred in 1902 upon
military and civil officers who had dis
tinguished themselves under the con-
sulate. The order was founded May
10, 1902, by Napoleon, when he was
first consul. It consisted of various
grades, as grand crosses, grand Off
GERS, commanding officers and legion
aries, and was reward for services
of merit. The order was confirmed by
Louis XVIII when the Bourbons were
returned to the throne a century ago,
and it has been continued, with neces-
sary changes in the constitution,
through the reigns of Charles Y, Louis
Philippe, Napoleon III, and the second
and third republics. Many Americans
and British subjects and other for
eigners have received the decorations
of the Legion Of Honor.

ORIGIN Of YIsItIna cards.

Some authorities hold that the or
igin of the visiting card lay in the cir.
cumstance that, when Pericles first
laid siege to the heart of Aspasia, he
sent her a bouquet to which, fearful
lest she might not guess from whom
the compliment proceeded. he caused
to be attached strip of wood wherein
his name was cut.
According to Bertarelli, who, among
others, has been at much pains to com.
pile the history of the card. it is. diff.
cult to say whether it was first used
In Greece or In China. However that
may be, it seems to be an ascertained
fact that the visiting card did not real
ly obtain to any extent in Europe un-
til the time of Louis.

Use Magazine Stories.

An invalid or aged person who en-
joys magazine articles sometimes finds
the magazines, with their bulk of ad-
vertising, hard to handle. If the mag
azines are taken apart by removing
the little wire clips that bind the sec
tions together, the stories or articles
can be easily handled separately. And
any article specially likely to be en-
joyed by friend at distance can
be sent by mail when separated in this
way.
