the surface OF the skin, these
disorders are called skin dis

disease germ in the blood, which
multiplies by the million, and
sets up an irritation in some ten

You can get some little relief
for the time being by rubbing
or scratching the Initiated skin,
but you would not expect to be
cured in this way. Neither
should you expect a cure from
local applications of lotions.

from the source of the trouble.
You must locate the head

MOB's ACTION SELDOM JUST
the Brute Nature of Mankind,
When Herded In Groups.

The people en- masse constitute what
we call the mobs. Mobs have rarely
been right-never except when capa-
bly, led. It was the mob in
Paris that made the Reign Of Terror.
Mobs have seldom been tempted, even
though they had small chance to go
wrong, that they have not gone wrong.
The people" is fetish. It was
the people, misled, who precipitated
the South into the madness Of seces-
sion and the ruin Of hopelessly un-
equal war Of sections.
This Is merely to note the mortal
fallibflity of man, most fallible when
herded In groups and prone to do in
the aggregate what he would hesitate
to do when left to himself and his
individual accountability.

woodpecker a "Home Bird"

Among the natural guardians Of the
trees are the woodpeckers, which
gather their food as they creep round
the trunks and branches. AS the food
of the woodpecker is nearly as abund-
ant in winter as in summer, they are
seldom migratory. They never forage
in fiocks, like some of the granivorous
birds whose food is more plentiful,
but scatter out over wide areas and
thus better their fare. They bear the
same relation to other birds that take
their food from trees as snipes and
woodcocks bear to thrushes and
ouails-that is. they bore into the
wood as the snipe bores into the
earth, while thrushes and quails seek
their sustenance on the surface OF
the ground.

King Solomon
In Feathers

The literary history of the raven be-
gins with Noah and Elijah. Natural
lists call him "the most wary, the most
amusing, the cleverest Of BIRDS" He
has also been described as grave. dig
nified and sedate and many instances
have been given of the peculiarities of
this historical bird.
The bill of the raven is a formidable
weapon-strong stout, sharp at the
edges, curved toward the tip. 1t is his
one weapon of offense, but it answers
the purpose of two or three. Like the
dirk of the oldti1ne plainsman, it is
equally available as a dagger or as a
carving knife. 1t can also be used as
a pair Of pincers. 1t can kill rat at
one blow. The raven can drive its beak
right through the spines of hedgehog.
1t is. said that the raven will never at
tack a man. If this be true, it is, 1t
Is thought, not so much from any de-
feet of courage as from the birds
keen intellectual perception Of what
will pay and what will not.
Like most Of his tribe, the raven is,
in the strictest sense of the word, ON
nivorous. His dietary ranges from "a
worm to a whale"
When his nest is built, as it general
ly is, beneath some overhanging rock
which quite conceals it from view from
above, its position may sometimes be
discovered by the remains Of rabbit
neatly laid in the short grass at the tor
of the cliff in what might be called
his Harder" But a larder implies ar
amount of economy and self-restraint
that it is not in the raven to practice.
In districts where food Is scarce the
ravens will attack without scruple G
