When Itching Stops

There is one safe, dependable treatment
that relieves itching torture and skin irri-
tation almost instantly and that cleanses
and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for Csc or 81 bottle
of zeruo and apply it as directed. Soon
yeu win find that irritations, pinples,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little zemo, the penetrating, satisfy
ing liquid, is all that is needed, for it
banishes most skin eruptions and makes
the skin soft, smooth and healthy.

CATS WILL GUARD CHICKENS
While Watching for Rats, They Fright
en- Away Hawks-Are Broken From
Killing Little ones.

Did you know that cats are a valu-
able asset to the poultryman? You
might believe that they were anything
but invaluable because of their innate
love for fresh meats. But sweeter than
baby chicks to the palate of the cat are
the smooth-cOateG, lOng-tailed crea-
lures of the rat family. And rats prey
upon chickens, asserts the Poultryman.
During the course of a year there is
more loss in the poultry world from
the ravages of rats than from cats or
hawks, or even disease. A cat in the
chicken yard, if trained to properly
value the life of the chickens, will ter
rorize and destroy the rats and will
ward off the enemy hawks and so prove
himself or herself of great worth.
Cats have proved their worth as
chicken yard sentinels, and there have
been many and various methods en-
ployed by their owners to break them
from killing the chickens. One we'll
known method is that of tying a dead
chicken about q cats neck and making
him tug around the heavy dead body
for from one to two days. In the mean
time the cat will supposedly grow to
have q great dread and horror Of a
dead chicken.

Spiders Ride on Flies.

There is an aspect Of spider and fly
relations which fabulists and natural
lists alike have overlooked. A CORE
spondent who has brought the micro
scope to bear on many housetlies, finds
that the parasite upon that hateful in
sect is often an immature spider, says
the London Chronicle. Too weak vet
to spin it's web, it makes the fly it's
winged palfrey, and courses from place
to place at the will of its captive; Ell
ther until Pegasus perishes naturally,
or, presumably, until the rider is able
to make a meal of his charger. This,
If confirmed, seems to carry us a step
farther in the study of parasitism and
commensalism.

VELDT MARKS ITS JEWELLERS
Loneliness and Silence Affect Those
Doomed to Live in Plain of
British South Africa.

Before the Boer war there was a
saying current among the Beers of
South Africa that you could always
recognize a man who had spent five
years on the veldt. This was saying
no less true then than now, for the
veldt is a place of great silence and
loneliness and it leaves its mark on
those who dwell in it.
The veldt is the great plain of what
is now British South Africa, the limit
less, featureless stretch of prairie dot
ted with knobs of hills that the Beers
call kOpjes, pierced and gashed by
rain-washed gullies that run their
twisting course from horizon to hori-
zon. The word 'veldt" Is closely al
lied to the German word for "world"
or universe" and the relationship is
something more than mere coinci-
dence. To the man standing in the
midst of this plain it seems to extend
in every direction to the outermOst
limits of space.
The veldt is without sound or color,
without striking features to catch the
eye. A days trek among low hills
covered with gray grass, plods wear
lily through mile after mile of the same
hills, and ends in dry valley as like
the valley of the morning as one pea
is like another. After few days of
this the traveller wonders if his prog
ress is not mere illusion, if he is not
returning day after day to the same
spot.
Now and again the monotony is
broken by some veldt farm, a place Of
loneliness for the exiles who
till it. There will be a farmhouse, a
barn, kraal, well and a few huts
for the kaffirs. To the railroad may
be a distance of anywhere from 20 to
20 miles. Half the year the roads are
The little community
must be sufficient unto itself. Life on
4 veldt farm is a severe test of the
nner resources of man or woman.

lady" Ward hastily returned the mop
to its corner. rolled down his sleeves
and picked up his gloves. Then he
stepped outside and waited beside Billy
Louise, looking not in the least like u
man who has just wiped u lot of dishes
and scrubbed a floor.
The nephew, striding along behind
Marthy and showing head and shoul-
ders above her, seemed not to resent
any little mischance, such as muddy
water firted upon him from a broom.
He grinned reminiscently as he came
up, shook hands with the two of them
and did not let his glance dwell too
long or too often upon Billy Louise nor
too briefly upon Ward.
When Ward went to the stable after
Blue half an hour later Charlie Fox
went with him. His manner when they
we're alone was different, not so exub-
erantly cheerful-more frank and prac-
teal
Honest, it floored me completely to
see what that poor old woman has been
up against down here" he told Warren,
stufllng tobacco into a silver trimmed
briar pipe while Ward saddled Blue.
II don't know deuce of lot about
this ranch game, but if that old lady
can put it across guess can wabble
along somehow. Too bad the old man
ceshed in just now, but Aunt Martha
as good as told me he WASH. much
force, so maybe | can play a lone hand
here as easy as l could have done with
him"
Afterward, when Ward thought it
over, he remembered gratefully that
Charlie Fox had refrained from at
tempting any discussion of Billy Louise
or from asking any questions even re-
motely personal. He knew enough about
men to appreciate the tactful silenees
of the stranger, and when Billy Louise
on the way home predicted that the
nephew was going to be a success Ward
did not feel like qualifying the verdict.
