I had an attack of Eczema, and ordered a
box of oxide of zinc ointment. The first
application changed the Eczema to hell—file, .
which seemed unquenchable. The (lruggist
had used a rancid cerate and I was poisoned.
A local physician did not help matters, and
everything either failed to help, or made it
worse, I was becoming desperate, when I
thought of CUTICURA REMEDIES, and dis-
patched my servant for a cake of CUTICURA
SOAP and a box of CUTIcnnA (ointment).
The first application relieved me and in three
days I was well".

A physician and his friend were
standing on the street corner of a
Virginia town where they were spend-
ing a few days. Their attention was
amusmgly arrested by the sight of an
old darkey belaboring the flanks of a
mule [in a vain persuasion to make
him move on. At last the doctor was
appealed to.
“Say, boss, I’ll give you five dol-
lahs ref-you’ll make dis 'hyer mule go.”
With a sly wink the physician open-
ed his case and took out his hyper-
dermic syringe, filled the needle with
an acid and sent it into the hind quar-
ters of the mule. The effect was
magical. With a wild plunge the mule

The most wonderful of buzzsaws
has just been devised by M. Felix
Fromholt, an engineer of Paris. for
use in preparing the stone foundations
for the exhibition buildings.
It is more than seven feet in diame-
ter and is operated by :1 ten—horse

ly four feet above the ground. The
block of stone which is to be sawed
is placed on a truck and run under the
saw, which splits it at the rate of ten
inches per minute.
And no wonder!
It is literally a dia—
istencc. It cuts its way through the
hardest stone by the aid of two hun-
dred small diamonds fastened to its
circumference. These are the so-
called crystalized diamonds, worth
about $2 or $3 :1 carat.

Prayer ofa Homely Man.
A resident of Chicago, who is one
of the ugliest as well as one of the
best knowu citizens of this metropolis,
met a man the other day who was as
homely as himself. They exchanged
condolences.
“I never but once saw a man who
looked worse than I do,” said the Chi-
cago man. "‘I was hunting in north-
ern Michigan when I ran against a
fellow whose face would frighten an
army. '
“Just to get acquainted I put up my
gun and took aim at him.
“ ‘What are you trying to do
there?’ he yelled at me.
“ ‘I made a resolution long ago,’ I
told him, ‘that if I ever found an ug.
lier man than I am, I would shoot
him.
“He stood there under the trees for
a. minute, looking me all over.
“ ‘Well.’ he said finally, with a sar-
castic dranvl, ‘lf I look any uglier than
you do. for goodness sake, shoot!” ”—

A MATHEMATICAL More.
He Knew \Vhen He Had Made the Proper
Number Of Trims.
A writer in Lippincott‘s Magazine-
tells a rather remarkable mule story:
The animal in question was used to
reinforce the regular teams. being
hitched beside them on a certain steep
incline on one of the Cincinnati street
railroads.
The mule made a certain number of
trips in the forenoon (I have forgot”-
ten the number, but will sayfifty for
the sake of convenience), and a like
number in the afternoon, resting for
1m hour at noon. As soon as it com-
pleted its fiftieth trip it marched away
to the stable without orders from the
driver. ‘
To show that it was not guided by
the sound of the factory whistles and
bolls, the followmg remarkable action
on the part of this animal is vouched
for by the superintendent of the
Line:
On a certain occasion, duringa mu-
deal festival, the mule was transferred
0 the night shift. and the very instant
t completed its usual number of
shifts it started for the stables. The
combined efforts of several men were
necessary to make it return to its
duty. ‘
At night there were no bells or
whistles to inform the mule tlnii
“quitting time” had come; it had coun~
ted the trips, and having finished its
quota, it thought that the time for
rest and food had arrived.
' “George, Aunt Maria is very angry
at you for saying that she eats too
much.”

Soap as a Disinfectant.
The use of soaps containing a dis-
infectant of some kind has become so
general that observations on the prac-
tical value of such combinations can-
not fail to be of interest. Dr. Reith-
offer has recently published the re-
sults of some experiments carried out
by him with various kinds of soap,
having for object to determine their
value as microbicides. He used the or-
dinary mottled soap, white almond
soap perfumed with nitrobenzine, and
hard potash soap. He found that
these soaps were very inimical to the
Cholera microbe, a one per cent. solu- ,
tion killing them in a short space of
time, while a five per cent. solution
of the potash soap killed them in five
minutes. 'We are, therefore, at liber-
ty to infer that, [as in was-hing the
hands, the strength of the soap solu-
tion is never less than five and may
go as high as forty—five per cent, this
method of disinfecting the hands, as
well as the clothes, etc., is fairly trust-
worthy. Much stronger solutions are
required, however ,to destroy the bac-
illi of typhoid, the collbacillus, etc.,
.not less than ten per cent. being suf-
ficient. None of the soaps experimen-
ted With appeared to have any effect
on the pyogenic microbe. The practi-
cal result of these investigations is
that it is always preferable to use
soap and water first of all, rinsing the
hands in the disinfectant solution at:
terward. This is an important point
which merits to be generally made
known.——Medical Press.
Gen. Chnfl'ee’s Way.
As General Chaffee’s line went up
a. hill into action at El Ganey this re-
cruit dropped out of the ranks. The
general noticed him, and went to see
what ailed him. He found a. young
and very badly frightened soldier. He
Said to him: “Are you hurt? I saw
how 'well you kept up. under fire as
we came on. 'Come with me to the
crest and look through my glass at
the enemy’s works. We shall soon
take them in the flank. We will try
to lead the assault if you like.” So.
by the gentlest means, he put that re«
cruit on his legs again, shared with
him his own abundant courage, and
brought him back renewed and grate-
ful, into the fight where he belonged.
That'wtas like saving a soul. This
story shows the general’s quality—or
one strain of it, at leastdand makes
‘it easy to believe that the Fifth corps
look upon him as the Skobelefi of our
army—a soldier who, like Skobeleff,
combines magnetic influence with
swift observation, great endurance,
