Eruptions
Dry, moist, scaly tetter, all forms
of eczema or salt rheum, pimples
and other cutaneous eruptions pro
ceed from humors, either inher
ited, or acquired through defective
digestion and assimilation.
To treat these eruptions with
drying medicines is dangerous.
The thing to do is to help the
system discharge the humors, and
strengthen it against their return.

ITCH IS TORTURE.
Eczema is caused by an acid humor is
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
flammation ; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting,, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times arc
almost unbearable ; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on lire. Salves, washes nor other exter
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

ENJOY BEING PETTED.
SNAKES TAKE TO FONDLING LIKE
KITTENS.
Diamond-Back Rattlera Are Good Peta
When Handled' Hight They Will Not
strike Unless Surprised or Hurt, and
Always Spring Their Rattlera.
"Oh! Aren't they darlings! May I
hold them a moment? I should just
tove to; they are so cute."
The speaker was a comely, matronly
looking woman, well, though some
what showily, dressed. She was one
of a motley crowd that stood before an
exhibition platform in a dime museum.
On the platform sat a garish young
woman, who, on the show bills; was
"the peerless Circassian beauty." She
wore very short skirts, as real Circas
sian beauties always do, and her high
heeled satin slippers and crimson silk
en hose were undoubtedly imported
from the wilds of Circassia. Her hair
stood up in a great mass, like the boll
of a ripeneddandelion. It was proba
bly a wig, but it was the orthodox style
of beauty for the dime museum "Cir
cash." At the feet of the beauty lay the "dar
lings" which had evoked the woman
visitor's admiring exclamation. They
were not babies, but a pair of big diamond-backed
rattlers, the deadliest of
a den of wire and glass, they cou.d do
no harm, but at each of the hourly ex
hibitions given In the museum the Cir
cassian beauty would take the venom
ous reptiles from their den, fondle
them and, as the museum patrons ex
pressed it, "do stunts" with them. The
beauty looked somewhat suspiciously
at the woman who had made the re
quest "Don't," she exclaimed. "They're the
most poisonous of all snakes and their
bite means almost certain death. The
managers would not allow you to touch
them and it might cost you your life."
"Huh! I ain t afraid," was the re
ply. "I was in the business before you
was born and bandied snakes that was
a deal trickier than rattlers. Water
moccasins, black and puff adders and
venomous reptiles from all parts of
the world. Once," she added proud
ly, "I owned a cobra." The woman on
the platform incontinently surrendered
and allowed the visitor to take her petX
which the stranger fondled as a fond
mother would a baby.
"Oo wouldn't hurt mamma, would
oo?" she cooed as the ugly, flat head of
the rattler lay against her cheek. The
snake darted out Its forked tongue, but
It did not spring its rattles. The glitter
of its beady eyes showed that it was
fully conscious of what was taking
place, but it evidently enjoyed being
caressed by the veteran. "Even the
most venomous snakes are harmless as
long as they are treated right," said
the woman. "They love to be petted
and stroked, Just as a cat does. If they
are tormented, they are likely to strike.
Rattlers are the easiest of all snakes to
handle, for they won't bite without
giving warning. Nearly always they
will coll for a strike, and Invariably
they will spring their rattles.
"I was in the business nearly fifteen
years. In that time I was bitten more
than a score of times, but It was al
ways because of my own carelessness.
I always kept antidotes at hand and
never suffered from a bite more than
most persons would from the sting of
a bee. Snakes have always been one
of the best cards In museums and side
shows. In nine cases out of ten the
reptiles are handled by women. The
act proves more attractive to the public
than when they are handled by men.
Besides, women take to snakes more
readily than men. Perhaps they in
herited that from old Mother Eve," and
the speaker laughed at the suggestion.
New York Sun.
WESTERN MONEY IS DIRTY.
Eastern Cities Grab the New Currency
leaned by Treasury Department.
The bulk of the paper currency In cir
culation throughout the West Is well
worn and often exceedingly, filthy by
reason of Its long use. A crisp new
bill is a curiosity In most Western
communities. The currency Is kept in
circulation so long that It will hardly
hold together, while It is redolent of
the foulest of smells. That which Is
returned to the Treasury Department
from Chicago for replacement is said
to be the worst of all. It is so bad that
the employes of the department stub
bornly try to get assigned to desks
where none of this ragged, filthy cur
rency Is bandied. Those who have ta
bles where New York, Boston, Phila
delphia or Washington money is han
dled are considered very fortunate.
From these towns come money for re
demption which Is practically new.
Many banks In the East make It a rule
to never put out old money. Many of
the bills from Washington have never
been folded.
The chief of the redemption division
explains that a New York bank which
would pay out such money as is handed
over the Chicago bank counters could
not do business. Its customers would
not have the soiled and ragged money.
Many go further and say the filthy
money is dangerous. The facts do not
bear this out There never has been
a case of contagious sickness In the de
partment which could be traced to con
taminated bills.
The reason why the West gets dirty
money and the East gets clean money
rests entirely with the banks. The
Eastern banks supply new currency
because their customers refuse to han
dle the other kind. The Western banks
give out dirty currency because their
customers do not protest. It costs the
banks extra to get new money. It
costs 20 cents per $1,000 to send old
money to the department for redemp
tion and Its costs the same amount to
get the new bills, a total cost of 40
cents The Government pays the ex
pressage on silver. The banks say that
they would be glad to furnish new bills
If the Government would pay the ex
pressage. Unquestionably they would.
But the Eastern banks find It no hard
ship and are glad to pay the express
age to keep the new currency on hand.
If all the banks In the country would
suddenly decide to use only new bills
over their counters the bureau of en
graving and printing would be unable
to arrpply the extra demand. This to
the one department or tne uovernmeni
that runs day and night, with three
different shifts all day except Sundays
and holidays. But If the bankers should
ask for clean money Congress would
be glad to furnish the extra printing.
The reform for clean money proceeds
slowly. One bank nearly always be
gins. Sometimes the banks let it be
known that In their woman's depart
ments only new currency will be paid
out. The innovation Is usually Infec
tious The department knows that
when one bank starts others will fol
low. -
FORTUNE FROM COMIC SONG.
Popularity of the Composition Meana
Money to Composer.
The actors who have made their
fame on one play, the authors whose
reputation rests upon one book, or the
orators whose celebrity Is connected
with one speech, are not nearly so nu
merous as the singers who have 'be
come known through one song. The
recent death "of "The Great McDer
mott," who will go down to posterity
as the singer of "By Jingo. We Wfll."
the song which made the term "jingo
ism," a familiar term In the English
language, recalls the story of many of
these one-achieved individuals.
"The most fickle and difficult to un
derstand people in the world," said a
theatrical manager a few days ago.
"are the comic-song public. Sometimes
a song, with absolutely no merit to rec
ommend It, will go like wildfire, while,
on the other hand, some' of the most
clever and catchy songs ever written
fall as flat as a smoothing iron.
"A song will sometimes be sung by a
music-hall singer which- will seem to
have in it no more of the elements of
popularity than any other song. Yet
suddenly It will become all the rage,
and will be hummed and whistled, by
thousands of people all over the country
who never heard the name of the sing
er, and perhaps never put their foot in
the music hall. Probably, then, a year
or two later the same singer will ap
pear with a song quite as taking, ap
parently, as the first oner yet it will
fail to create the slightest stir, and will
be a dead letter, except to those who
have heard it In music halls."
Instances of the accuracy of this gen
eralization abound. It was Miss Lot
tie Collins who first sang "Ta-ra-boom-de-ay"
in a London music halL Few
thought it was a song out of the ordi
nary, even those who heard it, yet
witbin a few days all London was
humming it, and It was not long before
It had become as familiar as "God
Save the Queen."
It is said that there are at least a
dozeD singers of comic songs who are
known in the profession as "one-song
men." The meaning of the title is, of
course, that they have sung one song
which Completely eclipsed all of their
other performances. For instance,
Charles Coborn, the man who sung
"The Man That Broke the Bank at
Monte Carlo," made more money out of
other songs, but for one person who
knows one of his other songs probably
a hundred know this one.
Other familiar instances of the one
song success are Anna Held's "Won't
Yon Come and Play With Me?" and
Ernest Hogan's "Who Said Chicken in
This Crowd?" Both of these have
sung many another song, but none of
the others has had such extreme pop
ularity. The authors of "Little Annie
Rooney," "After the Ball Is Over" and
other equally well-known ' songs are
almost unknorfh. yet In many cases
their one song carried them to tempo
rary fame. New York Times.
NEW KIND OF RAILROAD TIES.
South American Mora Timber to Be
Tried, by Pennsylvania Road.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Is soon to
begin an experiment with a new kind
of wood for ties. Orders have been
placed and several consignments of the
material are now on the way from
South America, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. As soon as the vessels arrive
preparations will be made for placing
the ties at points along the main Hue
and ii and around Philadelphia. The
ties are of Mora wood, and come from
British Guiana. It is claimed for them
that they will last fifty years, the tim
ber being exceedingly hard and pos
sessing the quality of durability. The
present ties last" from three to ten
years. The purchasing price alone for
each tie of the Mora wood is $1, and
the delivery price about $1.50. The cost
of the white oak ties, which the road
has been using, is about 75 cents each.
There have been many experiments
made during the last twenty-five years
to procure some material for ties that
will stand the severe tests from heavy
and fast traffic, but thus far no suc
cessful results have been attained.
Many patent preservative processes
have been resorted to, such as cnemi
cals to preserve the wood, cement en
cased in steel and steel plates bent
into oval or semi-half moon shape. Just
now the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railway is experimenting on
its main line, near Sandusky, Ohio,
with a design of steel ties constructed
from old worn out sixty-five-pound
steel rails.
About $30,000,000 is now spent annu
ally by the railroads of the country for
renewing worn-out ties, it being esti
mated that 112.000,000 new ties are
needed each year. The total number of
ties now in use on the railroads of the
country is calculated at 780,000,000.
This demand Is so great and the here
tofore sources of supply are so nearly
exhausted, says the Black - Diamond,
that the International Society of Arbo
riculture has undertaken to encourage
the growing of catalpa trees, with spe
cial reference to the need of crossties
for American railways. White oak,
canerack, white cedar, chestnut, pine
and redwood, which have up to this
time been used for ties, are becoming
too costly. If not too scarce, to supply
the demand from this source. The so
ciety suggests that the catalpa be
planted along the right of way of rail
road lines, not only as a future source
of supply, but as a means of adding to
the pleasure and comfort of travelers.
Ties from this wood. It Is claimed, will
last thirty-five years. '

RESCUES A CONNECTICUT "WOMAN
FROM HORRIBLE TORTURE.
Mrs. William Cotter, of Hartford, the
Vietim. Tells the Story in an In
terview. A Terrible Experience.
"It was horrible, said Mrs. Cotter.
"I almost wished for death to relieve
me. But help -came in time and I am
very grateful.
"Tell you the story? Yes, indeed.
I never grow tired of telling it. Sev
eral years ago I was taken with neural
gia and suflered untold misery. I
tried a great many doctors and several
remedies with the result that I found
temporary relief but I was not cured
and began to fear that I never would be.
"Then Policeman Reilly, who is a
neighbor of ours, recommended that I
try Dr.. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People and I did so. I thought that
the first box gave me some relief, and
my husband insisted that I keep on
taking them. I did and I can truly
say that these pills are the only medi
cine that ever permanently benefited
me. s .
"I used to have to give up entirely
and lie down when the pain came on.
My face would swell up so that my eyes
would close. The pills have cured all
this and I have had no return of it for
the last three years. I keep the pills
constantly on hand as I believe they
are a wonderful household remedy.
"To Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People I owe all the comfort I
have enjoyed for the past three years
in being free from neuralgia and I am
glad to be able to recommend them."
Many who are now tortured with
neuralgia will read with interest the
above statement which is beyond doubt
as it was given over the signature of
Mrs. William Cotter, whose husband
has been Democratic register of elec
tions in Hartford, Conn., for over 10
years, and who is well known through
out the state.
Mrs. Cotter, who lives at No. 42
Windsor street, Hartford, is the mother
of a happy family, and is now enjoying
excellent health.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People will not only cure cases similar
to that of Mrs. Cotter, but containing
as they do, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves, they have
proved efficacious in a wide range of dis
eases. They are an unfailing specific
for such diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance,
sciatica, neraulgia, rheumatism, nerv
ous headache, the after effects of the
grip, of fevers and of other acute dis
eases, palpitation of the heart, pale and

weakness, either in male or female.

Distinctive Value
of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every
objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly
as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The
requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its
production enable the California Fig .Syrup Co. to supply the general demand
for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its
effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a
naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them.
To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the
medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup
of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not
weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con
dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many
excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a
laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid,
or the robust man.
Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles
of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the
juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system,
when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not
only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of
manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is
therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note
the full name of the Company -California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front
of every package.
