When our baby boy was three months old,
he had the milk crust very badly on his head,

' so that all the hair came out, and itched so
bad, he made it bleed by scratching it.‘ I got
a cake of Curicunn SOAP and a box of CU’TI— '
cunA (ointment). I applied the CUTICURA
and puta thin cap on his head, and befor I
had used half a box it was entirely cured, All
his hair commenced to grow out nicely.

A CLAY SPOUTING WELL.

This Freak of Nature Is In Evidence Be-
fore a “find or Kain storm.

The government artesian well at
Lower Brule agency is certainly. :1
freak of its kind. says The Omaha
Bee. Originally the pressure threw a
solid six inch stream of water too
height of twenty-one feet above the
top of the well casing. Subsequently
the pipe became temporarily choked
up, and atsuch times the .water would
not flow at all for yeriods of two or
three days. ,Then -without apparent
amuse the pipe would.=suddeniy become
clear and the water would again spout
to the height of twenty—one feet. After
continuing for a few days, during
Which time it rlmost constantly
spouted large quantities of sand. it
would once more become choked and
cease to flow. This'became so fre#
quent and regular that in time the
agency employees became accustomed
'to it and paid no particular attention
to the freakiness of 'the well, which is
constantly under their observation.
But now the matter has taken another
and more peculiar turn. ’ Arrivals
from the agency report that, com-
mencing about three weeks ago, the
well has been at intervals forcing out
apparently endless quantities of blue
clay. This in itself is nothing strange,
but the manner in which the clay is
carried through the pipe is something
out of the ordinary. The blue clay
entirely fills the six-inch pipe and
arises slowly above the top of the cus-
ing, exactly as sausages emerge "from
a sausage machine, until the top in
so high in the air that it becomes ovoi-
balanced, when five or six feet topples
over upon the ground. The continued
upward movement of the clay in a
few minutes muses more of the col-
umn to topple over. This has con-
tinned until circular pieces of the blue
clay aggregating several hundred feet
in length have been deposited on the
ground adjacent to the well, necessi-
tating the employment of men to re-
move the huge deposits before the top
of the casing becomes completely
' buried. The discharges of blue clay
are accompanied by very little wa-
ter, and the clay, probably from the
great pressure required to force it up
through the well casing, is always as
dry and hard as a. brick. Another pe-
culiarity is that these eruptions inva-
riably commence a short time prior
to the advent of windy or stormy
went-her and continue until the weatn
er again becomes settled.

 

THE PARROT AND THE QUEEN.

She Was Glad To Find One Voice That
“'33 Not Afraid To Speak the Truln.~
In Windsor Castle there is a suite

of rooms for the use of the queen’s

chaplain. A private passage connects
the chaplain's study with the queen’s
apartments, and she frequently re—
pairs there to consult him on impor-
tant matters. One day, as the queen
was returning to her apartments af-
ter an interview a parrot called out
some words in a cross tone of voice
from its cage in the passage. Failing
to understand the sounds, says Tid

Bits, the queen turned to the chaplain

and asked:

“What is the parrot saying?”

With much embarrassment he re-
plied: “If you please, your majesty,
I would rather not repeat it.”

“But what was it?" she said.

“Something I fear your majesty will
not like; therefore I hope your majesty
will excuse me from telling it.”

The queen’s curiosity was now thor-
oughly aroused, and she said: “Come.
I insist." .

‘The chaplain bowed low and made
' answer: “Since your majesty insists.
' the parrot said ‘Go along, you ugly old
woman.’ "

 

she said: “Well, I am glad there is
at least one voice in the kingdom
which is not afraid to tell me'what it
thinks of me." ' . . .,

 

 

Queen Victoria laughed heartily as"

 
 
 

The First People’s Telephone.-

telephone is in use among the Catu-
quinaru Indians in the valley of the
Amazon. Each habitation occupied
by the tribe is supplied with a. cam-
barysu or telegraph,“ which enables
them to communicate with each other.
The machine consists of a hollow piece
of...ha.rd palm wood filled with sand.

fixed in a. socket of sand, hide. resin,
and rubber. This is struck with a
club of wood coated with rubber and
hide. .

"There is one of these instruments
hidden in each malocca, and the maloc-
cas are about a mile distant one from
the other, and all on a direct line north
and south. It appears that:th,e in.
struments are en rapport with each
other, and, when struck with a club,
the neighboring ones to the north and
south, .if not above a mile distant, res
spend to or echo the blow. 3 To this
an Indian answers by striking the- in<
strument in the malocca with vwhich
it is desired to communicate-which
blow in turn is echoed .by- the instru-
ment originally struck. Each, maloc‘
ca. has its own series of signals. ..So
enclosed is each instrument in the
,malocca that, when standing outside
and near the building, it is difficult to
hear a blow, but, nevertheless, it is
heard distinctly in the next malocca, a
mile distant, in the manner indicated.
The Tuchau gave .me an example of
signalling. With a prolOnged inter-
val, he struck the instrument twice
With the club, which, as I understood,
was to indicate attention, or that a
conference was desired. This was re.
sponded to by the same instrument, as
a. result of a single blow given by some
one on the next apparatus, nearly a
mile distant. Then cOmmenced a. long
conversation, which I could not com-
perhend. '

So, long before we had our telephone
connecting house with house, these re-
mote Indians of South America had got
what served something of the same
purpose!

To Keep Poultry Fresh.

If poultry has to be hung for a day
or two in the summer, it is advisable
to wash it before putting into the lar-
der in borax and water, and to remove
the liver and gizzard; then dry and
flour it, and place a little powdered
charcoal inside. A fowl which has a
“gamey” flavour is most unpalatable,
and a careful cook will detect such a
defect before cooking the bird. To re-
move the taint use permanganate of
potash and cold water (using sufficient
of the former to coloiir the water a
deep pink), pouring it through the bird
several times until all trace of un-
pleasant odour is removed; if this
should not be the case after repeated
rinsings the bird is not fit for use.

To keep poultry or any other kind of
stock from “turning” in the hot weath-
er, remove the grease as soon as it is
cold, and let the stock be boiled up
every day; vegetables should not be
added until the soup is required.

 

For the Kitchen.

A porcelain sink is the ambition oi
every cleanly housekeeper. But it is
the wise suggestion of an expert in
such matters that until she can pro-
vide careful kitchen-girls to work at
the sink the housekeeper had better
make a choice of a. good galvafilzed

A marble-back-
ed sink becomes before very long an

of greasy dish-water. For the same
reason, namely, the want of care in
use, faucets of burnished brass are bet.
ter than those of nickel-plate, unless
the latter be of very heavy quality ,

 

 

:R-ark 'i'wain writes: "It feels so
good to be out of debt that I. have can.
eeled a. number of lecture engage.
merits in Australia. I have no respect
for a man who goes about robbing
the public on the platform unless he
is in debt.” - , _._ .._.L

I
i SHE MADE A SHORT CIRCUIT.

Stopped the Electric Current By Putting
a Seat Avon the Wires.

‘15 little 13-year-old Pawnee county
miss, Bertha Leonard, has lately given
the Western Union and Postal Tell}
graph companies an unlimited amount
of trouble in a most unique and pe-
culiar way. Bertha’s daily duty was
to herd and watch a large drove of
her father's cattle, 'whoso range was
near the Western Union and postal
telegraph lines.

Fer some time past at irregular in-
ervals during almost every day these
lines absolutely failed to work, and
the trouble seemed to be somewhere
in the vicinity of where this girl
ranged her father’s cattle, but, try as
the line repairers would it could not
be definitely located. _ Finally it was
discovered that Bertha, in order to get
a better view of the herd, had driven
railroad spikes into a telegraph pole,
so that she could climb it, and that
Shc’would,_ whenever she got weary
watching the cattle from. the ground.
climb the pole, pull up a. board by
means 'of a cord. place it across the
Wires. seat herself on the board, and
spend an hour or two Watching the
held" from her Uniquely improvised
elevated station. Whenever the board
happened to be damp or wet, and the
frequent rainsthis year have kept the
board wet most all the time, it de-
stroyed the electric circuit and prac-
tically out OK all communication be-
tween Denver and Kansas City.

When discovered ' and informed of
the damage she was doing to the busi-
ness of the telegraph lines, Bertha was
greatly surprised, and was apparently
utterly ignorant of the fact that her
seat on the wires interfered in the
slightest degree with the working of
the lines—Kansas City Times.

 

HE DESIRED AN EASIER JOB.

Thirty-Six Years As a‘Prlsoner Preferable
To Two Hours Riding.

The writer remembers once riding
out of San Francisco over the South-
ern Pacific in a. day coach that was
like the land of fire, the month being
August. At an outer station of the
city of Oakland 3. man who looked poor
but not proud, came aboard, and mak-

seats which were set back to back.

“Some poor devil who is broke and
wants to beat his way out of this burn-
ing country,” one of the other pas-
sengers said. “Let’s help him.”

So when the conductor came in ev-
ery one of us found something wrong
with his ticket and kept the official
angrily busy for half an hour longer
than his usual time, so that he had to
bolt Without wasting a moment in
looking for stowaways. At Port Cost-a
we began to hear labored breathing
under the seat and twenty miles fur-
ther there was an eruption and out of
the volcano of overturned cushions
came our hidden protege.

“Gentlemen,” he said, “when I was
sentenced to forty years at San Quen~
tin I thought it was tough, and at the
first chance I broke. If I could only
reach Sacramento I would be all right.
i for I have friends there. But, gentle-
men, without consulting the map, I
i believe I am safe in saying that Sac-
7 ramento‘ is at least two hours distant.
I have only a mere bagatelle of thirty-
six years to put in at the prison, and
I think that, after all, considering the
weather 'and two more hours under
them seats, I’ll just sit up here like a
; gentleman and meet Sheriff Bill Brice
when he comes aboard and go back
to the easy job. I prefer the thirty
six years to the two hours.”—Chicago
Record.
