I had an attack of Eczema, and ordered a
box of oxide of zinc ointment. The first
application changed the Eczema to hell-fire,
'which seemed unquenchable. The druggist
had used a rancid ccratc and I was pmsoned.
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 ous-
patched my servant for a cake of Currcona
"SOAP and a box of CUTICURA (ointment).
The first application relieved me and in three
days I was well.

In no part of the world has the Klon-

eson raid into the Transvaal was being
organized in London; the keen and ir- l

Canadian Dominions of the Queen. TC ,
have half a'dozen statesmen or great i
dukes defeated, or perilously near tc'
irretrievable disgrace, at the hands]
of 00m Paul, was simply awful ill luck. l
But to have John Bull’s dear cousin .
realize all the fruits of discovery inl
the Northwest was too tantalizing in}
the extreme. * Accordingly English- 3
men have wonderfully bestirred them- i
selves within the past six months and
having poured capital into various
mining properties in British Columbia,
under a syndicate which has a' royal
Duke for its President, they are now
engaged in trying to form one huge
trust of all the mining claims in the '
Klondike.
A great scheme of this kind needs ,
something more than money; and i
therefore besides large subscriptions of
capital there has been a quiet enroll-
ment going on in England for what
is euphemistically termed “the North
West Mounted Police." Instead of
being what it pretends to be it is a
distinctly military organization. In
other words it is a most efiicient form
of cavalry service under the rather de-
ceptive name of "police.” This force
already numbers considerably over
1,000 men and is organized under the
command of an officer who discharges
somewhat analagous powers to those
invested in the military wing of the
Riyal Niger Company, of Africa. It
is drilled too as a cavalry force, each
man carrying a Lee-Metford carbine
and in addition to the usual accoutre-
ments, a heavy revolver. It is a bel-
ligerent and militant force in the
highest sense rather than protective or
political.
Formerly the Canadian authorities
retained a few scattering officers prop- ;
erly termed a Mounted Police in Mani- i
lobe. and the Assinaboine regions to i
wrevent smuggling and to do the usual '
routine duties of an ordinary nature.
But the members were very different .

British Government have lately sent
into that portion of the North West
bordering on the Klondike, and since .
the rush of Americans there in the
summer of 1897. Is the Transvaal fail-
ure to be recouped in Alaska? In 1
speaking of these Canadian Mounted
Police an English organ of the Army
and Navy interests states that “there
is hardly a finer force in the world,”
such a source is that these mounted
firagoons are intended as a fighting
rather than as a police force on our
Northern boundar)’. Of this fact there
:an be no doubt whatever because in
a further description we are told that
men nearly all six feet high, who can
ride and fight like any of the red skin
heroes of Fenimore Cooper’s romanc-
es." Such is the character given of
these men in a standard organ of the
ritish Army. Obviously therefore
the word “police” applied to them is
either a misnomer or ,a joke. They
would answer excellently in case of a.
raid. But there is even a more inter-
esting kind of information about this
regiment and the work cut out for it,
{urnished from Canada, where British
Keeling is more accurately, even if 01).
pressively, interpreted for the benefit
of Americans than is always possible
in the case of the mother country. An
American newspaper was recently so
much ettracted by this dragoon mo-
nilizatlon on the part of the Canadian
Government that it sent interrogator-
ice on the subject amongst others to
the editor of the “Mail and Empire” of
Toronto. The Canadian Editor re-
plied that these were nearly all the
ialiy recruited for services in Canada,
that they were all splendid marksman
and would not hesitate to shoot if there
was any trouble in the Klondike. Un-
:11 the Army and Navy Journal corrob-
orated in substance this information
gore was a belief that these border
editors were playfully exchanging car-
EfsTmand that there was really no
significance to be attached to the sub-
stitution of these dragoons for the old
Manitoba Mounted Police. But the
:oncentration of a force of "heroes"
:hat can “ride and fight”; that would
not hesitate to shoot Americans and of
whose splendid marksmanship we are
lssured, may be of interest to those
lbout to settle there. They have ap-
parently come to stay.

the writer saw an Indian named Joe
Lobado whose face and. head were
deeply scarred and whose body was a.
network of similar scars from wounds
received through being carried away
by a jaguar when an infant in arms.
or course he eculd not remember the
occurrence, but his mother, who had
rescued him, described it to me. She
had gone to a. mata, or wooded spot, on
the pampas for firewood, carrying her
child, after the fashion of Venezuelan
women of humble station, in a shawl
looped from her shoulder. This shawl
with the small boy in it she slung to a.
' low tree branch while she'gathered her
bundle of sticks, and she did not per-
ceive the approach of a jaguar until he
had seized the child and was carrying
it away. The mother grasped her
machete and ran after the jaguar,
shrieking. She managed to keep. the
beast in sight, but he was rapidly get-
ting beyond her view when suddenly
the jaguar stopped, put the child down
and, bristling for fight, stood with his
forepaws resting upon it.
' Then the mother saw that a puma
was fronting the jaguar. She hurried
on toward where the two beasts faced
each. other, growling and snarling.‘Be-
fore she got to them the puma. sprang,
and at once the two were fighting
fiercely above the child. In the strug-
gle the child was rolled to one side, but
before the mother could get to it the
jaguar broke away from the puma, and,
springing to the boy again, crouched
with his paws above him as before. The .
puma leaped again and the fight was
renewed, but again the jaguar got
clear and jumped to guard his prey be-
fore the mother could get a chance to
snatch her child. Once more the puma
attacked his foe, and this time as the
beasts struggled and tore each other an,
accidental kick from one of them sent
the boy twenty feet away, almost to the
mother’s feet. Catching him up, she ran
for home and got safe to the house.
lIhe boy, though covered with claw
‘wounds from head to foot and bearing
deep marks of the jaguar’s teeth in the
. ack, where the beast had seized him
to carry him away, recovered complete-
ly from his injuries, although bearing
the scars for his lifetime. The puma
and the jaguar were found, both dead,
at the place where they had fought.—

AMERICAN OARS.
Used Pretty Much Everywhere in All this
\l'aters of the ‘vVorld.
American cars are used pretty much
all over the world; in many countries
almost exclusively. The British Gov-
ernment has for years bought all of the
oars used on its war vessels in this
country, making a new contract yearly.
rI‘he contract for the present year’s
supply is held by a New York city firm
having factories in the West. American
oars are used also on French, German,
Italian, and Dutch ships.
The cars exported to European coun-
tries are chiefly of lengths from ten
feet upward. Cars of shorter lengths
they supply themselves. To Australia
the United States send cars of all
lengths, and the same is true of South
Afria. Up and down the coast of South
America none but American oars are
used, and in any harbor in the world
where a man is seen rowing a boat, in
China, Japan, anywhere, it is more
than likely that he is pulling with
American oars.
The present annual output of Ameri-
can oars is estimated at 5,000,000 feet,
enough to reach in an unbroken line of
oars placed end to end from, say, New
Yorw to Chicago. It has been greater.
The decrease is due to the use of the
bicycle and to the largely increased use
of launches and various other small
craft propelled by steam and other mo-
tive powers. These agencies have
been most effective in this country, but
they are now in some degree operative
in all parts of the world. A great
many more are still used, however, and
there are factories in which nothing
else is made—New York Sun.
JEFFERSON’S STAGE FRIGHT.
'He Was Kissed When He Tried to Recite
a Patriotic Hymn. .
Joseph Jefferson was a guest at th
Clover Club the other night, and told
the following in the course of a charac-
teristic speech:
“My friends, you ask me if I was ever
hissed on the stage. Well, I have been,
and the rendition of ‘The Star-Spangeld
Banner just now recalls to my mind an
instance. It was in just such stirring
times as the present that I learned the
words of The Star-Spangled B-anner.’ I
was 15 years old and had been assigned
to recite the hymn. For days I studied
the words, and I knew them so thor-
' oughly that I could recite them back-
ward. At last the fateful evening ar-
: rived, and when it was my turn I went
upon the stage. I recited the first line,
‘Oh, say, can you see.’ There I stuck.
The audienCe waited for me to go on. I
started again and stuck again. A girl,
draped in'the Stars and Stripes. next to
me, said, ‘Go on, you!’ but, after an-
other attempt, ‘you’ couldn’t go on. I
had forgotten it completely. After one
more attempt, in which I could get no
lShem on guard, cap a pie.
