ca a THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE. Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch —Cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost of Seventy-Five Cents. “My little boy, when only an infant of three months, caught the Cuban Itch. Sores broke out from his head to the bottom of his feet. He would itch and claw himself and cry all the time. He could not sleep day or night, and a light dress is all he could wear. I called one of our best doctors to treat him, but he seemed to get worse. He suffered so terribly that my hus- band said he believed he would have to die. I had almost given up hope when a lady friend told me to try the Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuti- cura Soap and applied the Cuticura Ointment and he at once fell into a sleep, and he slept with ease for the first time since two months. After three applications the sores began to dry up, and in just two weeks from the day I commenced to use the Cuticura Remedies my baby was entirely well. The treatment only cost me 75c, and I Wouiu uave gladly paid $100 if I could not have got it cheaper. I feel safe in saying that the Cutictra Remedies saved his life. He is now a boy of five years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City, R. F. D. No. 1, Branch Co., Mich., May 17, 1906.” What the Ailment Was. When Senator Hoar learned that a friend who they thought had appen- dicitis was in reality suffering from acute indigestion, he smiled genially. “Really,” said he, “that’s good news. I rejoice for my friend that the trou- ble lies in the table of contents rather than in the appendix.” PATENTS.

In 1905 the total capital of Norway was 2,132,000,000 crowns, of which only 37,750,000 crowns belonged to for- eigners. * * © While tunneling from Isnesfjord to Visterflo, the workmen found im- bedded in layers of clay trunks and leaves of tropical trees that are re- mains of the glacial period, and indi- cate that during pre-glacial times Nor- way had a much warmer climate than at present. i see The well known Danish athlete, Capt.

The voluntary rifle corps has made remarkable ‘progress the past year. No less than 41,627 new members were enrolled in 1906, and 12,000,000 shots were fired in practice shooting.

Prince William is the second son of Crown Prince Gustav and the grand- son of the venerable King Oscar. s 2 8 The tourist exposition at London was recently opened to representa- tives of the press for examination, and it was found that the Swedish exhib- its are easily the best.

The articles af- fected, however, are not those to be delivered to the trade this year, but in future years. Higher wages and great demand for woolen goods are the cause of the increase in prices. ss *¢ 6 The Swedish Shipbuilders’ Loan as- sociation has decided to increase its capital to the extent of 2,000,000 crowns. This was necessary, owing to the heavy demands upon the asso- ciation from shipbuilders and owners, who complain of the difficulty of ob- taining loans at a reasonable rate of interest. No less than thirty-seven companies of ship owners have filed applications for loans, aggregating 8,700,000 crowns. zs * @¢ The rigsdag has appropriated 11,- 000,000 crowns for the building of the new railway from Oestersund to UI- riksfors, and the work of construction will begin this summer, as previously suggested. The line will in the main run north and south, not so very far from the boundary line between Norway and Sweden. The chief aim of the road is to lead toward the Swedish west coast the export trade which it most apt to pass through Norway. At the same time it is hoped that more goods will hereafter be shipped to the inland towns of Swed- en from the Swedish factories. The agitation for this road began severe! years ago, and now that the gover ment has decided to build it there is much rejoicing. *- 2 @ A prominent historian, writing in the Swedish Historical Periodical, says that Sweden is old in politics, but young economically. He means that it has able statesmen, who look after its political welfare, but that little progress is made industrially, consid- ering the opportunities afforded. He holds that every year Swedish engi- neers, Swedish machinery and Swed- ish merchandise of various kinds should be spread out over the vast steppes of Russia, taking the place of German engineers of poorer training and crowding out foreign machinery of inferior quality." The writer com- plains that Sweden is not making near the showing that Denmark is, and urges the appointment of abler Swed- ish consuls at the principal cities of Russia. He holds that a small nation like Sweden cannot afford to be rep- resented in the foreign service by any but her best men.

Last year many students worked on the farms, to the satisfac- tion of themselves as well as their em- ployers. .- + «* In an article, published in Danne- borg, Minister of State Thor Lange says: “Askov (a Danish town) ex- tends its activity far beyond the limits of Denmark.

FUL BIRDS. But When the Washington Club Men Wanted to See Their, Tricks Their Owner Reminded Them It Was Sunday. Down on the Patuxent river, a short distance below Upper Marlboro, George MacKenzie occupies a cabin overlooking the stream, relates the Washington Star. George does some. farming on a small scale and he also has charge of the home of the Glebe club. He boasts that he is enough of a politician to throw the country to either political party, but his long suit is training ducks. “I'm the greatest duck trainer you ever heard of,” he told a gathering of club members and friends who as- sembled at the home of the club on a recent Saturday night. “I have six trained ducks, and they are just the same as members of my family. No money could buy them, and I want to say if any of you accidentally kill one of them you will have to pay me ten dollars for him.” “What is that your ducks can do?” interrupted one of the listeners. “Anything I tell them,” was the earnest response to their owner. “Two of them won’t associate with the oth- ers while they are in the water, and these two go gunning with me. When we go to the river I tell them to go away and bring me back some wild ducks, and they do it. They will go down the river and swim about until they get some wild ducks about them, and then they will start back to the blind where I wait for them. Before they get within shooting distance they will flutter about in the water to let me see them, and when they near the blind they will swim away in order to . | get where no shot will reach them.” “Do you really mean that they will do what you say?” asked a mentber of the party. “Do I really mean it?” echoed the Prince George county ‘man. “You watch the ducks in the morning, and then you will see for yourself, and that ain’t all they can do. I can send one of them to the post office at Pig Point, more than a mile away,” he re- sponded, “and he will bring back my mail to me.” Nothing more was said about the ducks until the next morning. Then George and the guests of the club stood on the bank overlooking the creek where the six ducks were sent out. They did as their owner had said, two of them left the four and went down the river, the four going in the opposite direction. George re- lated the story of how the four ducks wonld go to Pig Polat and how one of them would go to the post office and get his mail. “and,” said one of the interested ones, “how does he bring back the mail?” “In his mouth,” was the response of the trainer. “Let me see you send him to the post office now,” suggested the for- mer. “There’s no use sending him to-day,” said MacKenzie, “because the office is not open on Sunday. Nearly Ready to Cast.

Had Sherlock Holmes Fever. Few mortals there are who, at some time in their lives do not have a de- sire to become detectives and hunt down criminals and bad men. The Sherlock Holmes fever took hold of many, and these sleuth hound youths went into the business at once. Maj. Sylvester receives letters from them frequently. Only recently he read the following in a letter that was sent to him personally: . “The Detective head quarters. “Dear sir. I have been studying about being a detective for four years, and would like to be a privet detec- tive in this country. So I hope to hear from you. “Yours truly, BLANK.” No changes in the local detective force have been announced as yet. Tea time at the club. “My hus- band,” said a little thing with golden postiches—postiches are those new sausage-shaped curls—“my husband is a self-made man.” “Mine—” And the speaker’s grim lips relaxed in a smile. “mine was miade to order.” Above the tinkle of the tea things sounded the heartiest apnlaus Impossible. “Did you like my latest story?” “Yes, very well, indeed.” “The beauty of that story is that it is entirely true.” “Impossible.” “I can vouch for the truth of it.” “But you ended it. ‘They were mar- ried and lived happily forever after.” Life always is a dull grind to the man who thinks only of his own grist.
