It is generally thought that the pollen of certain weeds and flowers is the cause of it. Change of locality seems to be the only rational cure.

Har-'agton said: "This fall Mrs. Harrington discovered that the cholera had appsared among faer chickens. I had heard somewhere that there is nothing to beat salt as a disinfectant I had the hired man clean the henhouse as clean as he oould, wash it out thoroughly with just as strong brine as he oould make, and fill every crack and crevice with the brine. He did so, and we haven. lost a hen since. I tried the same thing on my hoga when) the cholera broke1 out a monk them.

Bulletin No. 254 of the State Ex periment Station, at Geneva, N; Y:, holds put a little prospect of relief to the orchardist who finds spring all too short to allow of thorough spraying of his scale-infested trees. The results- pf extensive tests seem to show that fall spraying with sulphur washes Is safe upon hardier varieties of fruit trees and as effective as spring spray ing, so far as scale destruction is con cerned. Some of the washes fitted also appear to promise a shortening of time and decrease of trouble in. preparation of an effective compound. STILL ALERT. It was in the jungle restaurant.

We are wont to speak of , this era as tire "age of iron," and there is no gainsaying that, industrially speak ing, iron is a "precious metal." Nevertheless, few people realize now useful, if not absolutely neces sary, to modern civilization, is that, other metal, lead. Soft, yielding,, pliable, it is not much like its sister metal, but .those distinguishing quali ties are what give it such a prominent place in the arts and industries. Modern plumbing, requiring :nmy turnings and twistins- mil withal tight joints, would be almost impos sible without lead pipe. The grat-. est civilizing agent in the world the printing art is absolutely dependent on lead. Hand-set tvrje. linotvne - v w slugs,' monotype type ail are made of compositions of which lead is the chief component to say noth ing of the bearings in the presses 'as weil as all other kinds of machinery in which "babbitt" metal is U3ed. ' Solder la another lead r;roduct what a field of usefulness that one form opens up. Then there is the most important use of all to which lead is put paint, that necessary material which keeps our houses looking pretty inside and out and preserves them from decay. How many of us thank metalic ledd for the comforts of paint? Yet the best house paint is nothing but me talic lead corroded by acid to a white powder known as "white lead." Of course, there aie many imitations of "white leacY some of which are sold as white lead and some which are offered by the name of ready-pre pared vaint under the familiar pre tense that they are "just as good" as white leri. But all good paint is made of te metal, :-ead, corroded and ground to a fine white powder and mixed with linseed oil. White lead is also used in the coat ing of fine oil cloths and for many purposes besides paint. "Red lead" is another product of metalie lead and is what is known as an oxide of lead, being produced by burning the metal. Red lead is the best paint known to preserve iron, steel or tin, and i used largely in pointing metal structures, such as skyscraper skeletons, mills and bridges. There are many othe products of the metal lead, uch as litharge. orange mineral, etc., which are es- eential in many of the arts in which we never imagine that lead would be of the least use. Verily, we live in ac age of lead as well as of iron, HANDICAPPED "Lived with five families last week?" ejaculated Mrs. Housekeop. That isn't a very good record."

Trrlbl Sealy Humor In Patches Over Body Skin Cracked and , Bleeding: Cured by Cuticura. "I was afflicted with' psoriasis for thirty five years, it was in patches all over my body. 1 used three cakes of Cuticura Soap,, six boxes of Ointment and two bot tles of Resolvent. In thirty days 1 was completely cured, and 1 think permanent ly, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the centre a spot aDout the. size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. ; In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of white silvery appear ance, and would gradually drop off. IV remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out,. That scaly crust would form again in twenty four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without removing by bath or otherwise the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered intense itch ing, worse at nights after, getting warm j in bed, or glood warm by exercise, when j it would be almost unbearable. W. M. !
