Many people have tried so many remedies
for eczema without being materially benefitted
that they have come to the conclusion that
there is no cure for this most distressing dis
ease. That this conclusion is erroneous, and
that vv
Hobson's Eczema Ointment
will effect a cure is shown by the following
unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson,
who for many years was a citizen of Wades
boro. Mr. Wilson says:
"This is to certify that for nine years I suffered
with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so
called specfics for it, but without effect. But after a
few applications of Hobson's Eczema Ointment I was
completely cured. "V. WILSON

Persona leaving their on homes
and averse to parting with their
money, save through the regular
channels of summer squandering,
will be interested in the invention of
Col. Ab9 Slupsky, of St. Louis ed
ucator, philanthropist and "sport."
To investigate the-brutality of the
prize ring he journeyed to Reno and
witnessed the affair on the Fourth of
July. As a rebuke to the white
fighter he bet against him and won
several thousand dollars.
The Nevada town was full of sin
ful people. The most popular pick
pockets, the most prominent thugs In
the country were there. They picked
money off many visitors, but got
none of Col. Slupsky's collection. An
nvestigation of bis pockets, belts,
pouches and other regalia revealed
nothing but' nickels. The Colonel was
clad principally In a broad smile and
a porous plaster. He wore the plas
ter clear to St. Louis. There, in the
safe seclusion of hia own room, he
peeled himself and revealed to the
world hia notable invention. The po
rous plaster was his bank and strong
box. In it were safely gummed the
thousands of dollars in good money
that tie had garnered from the mis
guided wicked who had put their
money on Jeffries.
When the world learna of Colonel
Slupsky's device we may expect a
rush for plasters and an increase in
the cost of gum. "Stick to yur
money and make it stick to you" is
the Slupsky slogan. As a device for
holding money it beats the Btocking,
the secret pocket, and is only second
to the tightwad. Summer hotel pro
prietors may yet have to provide
compartments in their safes where
guest a can check their porous plas
ters. But it would be just like some
of the grasping proprietors to post np
the sign: "No guests with porous
plasters taken in this hotel."

PERMANENT PASTURES FOR
THE SOUTH.
A. L. French in Progressive Fanner.
Farmers all over America are
since the price of lire stock has tak
en such an upward torn inquiring
earnestly about pastures, and men
are figuring to see If they may find
the real value of good pastures.
Many factors have to do with the
subject. There Is the fertility of the
soil filled with humus, being much
more retentive of moisture than a
poor soil, will, of course, produce far
heavier crops of .pasture grasses.
Then the average rainfall of -a sec
tioQ and Its distribution throughout
the year has much to do with the
productivity of grass, as well as oth
er plants. The variety of grasses
used is another factor to be consider
ed, some plants having lar greater
food value than others. Then the
class of animal that la to feed on a
pasture has a great deal to do with
determining the income-producing
ability of the pasture, and hence Its
value to the farmer.
t
Then when considering the value
of pasture we must not forget the
improvement that comes to nearly
all soils and especially those inclin
ed to wash from having permanent
soda covering them winter and sum
mery guarding them at the one sea
son from losses that come through
ero3ion by reason of the successive
freezing and thawing of steep lands,
and iduring the other from losses
equally heavy cauded by torrential
rains and burning suns. And in the
South ail pastures are producing some
legume almost continually and thus
the soil is becoming richer all the
time in nitrogen. And all the time
it must be remembered that with
permanent pastures there Is no Beed
time or harvest as we speak of them
in connection with other crops.
Good BOiL clear of all foreign mat
ter, growing nothing but grass and
clover, will during a term of years
produce feed sufficient to graze as
many head of stock about six months
in the year as an equal area of like
fertility cultivated will produce suffi
cient ieed to carry for the other Bix
with some extra feed from the culti
vated area to aid the pasture during
times of extreme drouth. - In the case
of the pasture, the annual expense Is
only a few cents per acre for grub
bing and weed cutting, while the
cultivated area the expense runs sev
eral dollars per acre.
But there are other advantages of
the pasture. Having pasture, we
naturally have animals and these an
imals may be used many times as
foragers or gleaners, and in that way
make use of many products that
would otherwise bring the farmer
only the manorial value sheep In
the grain stubble fields, consuming
weeds, briers, etc.; pigs in the pea
stubble, making cheap hogs of them
,hemselves; cattle turning peaviues
and cornstalks into beer, milk or
growth, are some of the farther-off
benefits emanating from the perma
nent pastures.
' Then there is the beauty the pas
ture adds to tne farm, we all see
beauty in the farm crops the calm
beauty of the maize (the giant grass)
at sunset on a still day, or its grand
er beauty when storm-tossed: the
golden beauty of the ripening grain;
the snowy beauty of the bursting
cotton: the many charms of the cot-
meadow with its sweet-scented clov
ers. But the pasture holds a charm
all its own to the writer; gently roll
ing with Its carpet of green, studded
here and there with shade trees, it
holds oh its bosom' the promise of fat
pigs and calves, rollicking colts and
lambs, cows with udder almost
burstings as they come sauntering
home at nightfall. No prettier pict
ure is given to us to look upon than
the pasture, clean, every rod covered
with grass, rich in promises that are
always fulfilled.

QUEEN CONSORT'S PRIVILEGES
Bba ffetrtt raw of Her Baiksad'a Pow-
aro Sat Sojoya Laxga laaoiaa.
Tit-Bits.

Great as are the powers of the King
England, the Qaeen Consort
shares few of them. In some re
spects, thank? largely to King Ed
ward, who set op many precedents
during hia short but memorable
reign, her privileges are greater than
they were, but her perquisites are
ewer. Before the time of the late
King the Queen never rode in the
great coach of state beside her hus
band, for In law she is not equal to
him, being merely his subject.
At one time the sovereign allowed
his consort one-tenth of the revenue
from the crown lands and other
sources of income, which was known
aa the Queen's gold, but since the
days of William IV she has bad a
separate grant. To manage her own
'airs the Queen has her own house
hold, which comprises a lord cham
berlain, viceK!hamberiain, treasurer,
private secretary,, mistress of the
robes, five ladies of the bedchamber,
four bedchamber women, and four
maid? of honor. The Archbishop of
York Is her chaplain In perpetuity,
and she can also appoint her own at
torney general and solicitor general
to represent her in the courts, but this
privilege has not been exercised with-
n recent years.
It Is high . treason , to conspire
against the Queen Consort during the
reign of her husband, but should she
survive him any one doing her an
Injury can only be proceeded against
the common law as If she were a pri
vate" person. Should she herself be
guilty of crime she can only be tried
by the House of Peers, but she can
be sued in the ordinary way.
Tbns, a subjeeteaonotsue the King
for debt, battheQieen can be com
pelled to pay her debts like any ordi
nary citizen, one of the curiosities of
tier position being that by law she if
only a single woman, and therefore
cannot shelter herself behind the
married woman's property act, as can
the wife of plain , John Smith. The
idea is that the King is so occupied
by affairs of state that he has no
time to devote to his purely 'domes-
ic concerns, so that hia wife must
look iafter her own business and be
solel reponslble for any debt -incur'
red by her.
As the Queen Consort is liable to
be sued In the civil courts, she can
a'aa proceed against any one, while
suould she so desire it she can com
pete with certain pereases by going
nto business as a milliner, or open
ing any other shop that takes her
fancy. However, when signing the
lease or other legal document she
must always be careful to add the
words "Queen of Eng'aod" to her
si mature. One of her privileges is
that of riding in an unnumbered mo
tor car.
Although she takes no part in the
government of the country and can
not sign a state document, the King
can appoint her as his proxy in the
event of his being ill or away from
England during a grave national
crisis. This actually occurred a few
years ago, when the ministers held a
consultation with Queen Alexandra,
with the happiest results.
But as soon as she becomes Queen
Dowager most of her rights cease.
Shp.ls simply an ordinary private
cittjten and cannot even remarry wl th
ou, the consent of the reigning mon
an a, but she Is always allowed an an
nuity of between 50,000 and 100,-

coming dignity.

WHO CAN PROTECT HIM FROM
THE WILES OF WOMAN,
Baltimore Snn.
Gen. R. O. Dryenforth in bs re
markable wil, which maps out the
ife of bis grandson and heir, pro
vides that he shall ..shun women and
be saved from the wiles of "that un
fortunate sex." The boy is aL to
graduate at Harvard when 18; then
to go to Oxford University, Eng
land; to take the course at West
Point; travel Europe, and to enter
tbe army. But these requirements
re mere incidents compared with
the stipulation that he shall be pro
tected from that sex which General
Dryenforth regarded as the lure. and
the menace of man.
The boy is only 12 years old now.
and bis mind is probably set upon
base ball, tenriU and fried chicken,
swimming and , fighting Indians.
Girls are nothing to him. But in a
few more years he will be 16, and
then 17, and' ubiquently he will
have to live 'thruh the time from
17 to 20. Those arg -be dangeorou?
years. He may snna every merry
widow hat that comes bobbing down
the street; he may shy at every skin
and run when he hears the timid
patter of dainty feet But some day
he is likely to find himself under tbe
fire of a battery of dazzling eyes
He will be too much of a soldier to
play the coward. He raut stand up
under the bombardment. And many
a stronger man has fallen. Or be
may one day have some little dove
like creature, with clear blue eyes of
heavenly innocence and the 6cft ap
peal of the unprotected, steal her
way into his heart and arms. And
he will be very lit'le of a man if bt
runs away like a deserter.
Men ia past ages have used every
effort to avoid the wiles of women
They bevt; gone to dtsert lands, aDd
tbe memory of a fair face has fol
lowed them into the desert. They
have hidden themselves in caves, but
cculd not escape tbe bright eyet-
that haunted then. They bavi
climbed m untaius, only to sigh:
have crossed oceans, only to tx
brought back by the girl they left be
bind them.
There is no use iu trying to escape
them. And the man is foolish who
does trv. For this old- world holds
nothing couiprisiug-sacir a" widA va
riety of surprise, goodness, annoy
ance, distraction, fascination and
charm. "But I cannot live with
such a creature," Oriental legend rep
resent the first man as saying to tbe
Creator. And the Wise One replied,
Neither can you live withou'
her."
No more destructive influence can
enter into a man's life than that of a
bad woman, but no better, holier in
spiration can he find than that of a
truly good woman who Is his help
mate, comforter and guardian angel.
Young Dryenforth may be able, by
denying himself half the pleasure
and enjoyment of the world, to carry
out the provisions of his grandsire's
will. But he may find at last that
he has missed the pearl of great
price and has rejected the jewel of
woman which might be the crown
of his life.
He Saved the Patant Office.
When In the war of 1812 the British.
who had taken Washington, trained
their guns upon the patent office, Dr.
Thornton, throwing himself directly
before the guns, cried:
"Are you Englishmen or Goths and
Vandals? This is tbe patent ofiice a
depository of the Ingenuity and Inven
tions of the American nation. In which
the whole civilized world Is Interested.
Would you destroy it? Then let the
charge pass through my body."
And the building was spared. Twen
ty-four years afterward, however. It
was destroyed by fire, together with
eyerythlng In It.
Tha Harm of Damp Houieir-
It is dangerous to health and even
to life in a damp, moldy bouse or one
built over a moldy cellar. Many years
ago tbe London Lancet In an article
on diphtheria traced tbe disease In

tain molds and fungoid growths which
seemed to be breathed Into tbe throat
Remember, one of the best disinfec
tants is lime. Moldy cloths, such as
shoes and other articles that are an fit
for use, should be destroyed at once.

stranger of the young man at the con

Uafter a pretty girl had sung a song In

Th Hat Straw Crop.
The greater part of the straw em
ployed for making summer hats comes
from Italy. To obtain a suitable straw
for this purpose the wheat is sown as
thickly a possible In order that the
growth of the plant may be Impover
ished as well as ro produce a thin
stalk. .The Italian wheat blooms at the
beginning of June and Is palled up by
hand by the roots when tbe grain U
half developed. Should it be allowed
to remain in tbe ground a longer time
the straw would become too brittle for
the purpose for which it U grown.
Uprooted straws to the Dumber of
about five dozen, the size of the com
pass of the two hands, are firmly tied
together In little sheaves and stowed
away in barns. After that tbe straw i
again spread out to catch the heavy
summer dews and to bleach In tbe sun.
When the product has been sufficiently
bleached it is put into small bundles
and classified. The Inst step is to rut
It close above tbe first Joint from the
top. wheu It is again tied up in small
bundles containing about sis ty stalks
each und is then ready for the market.

diaeval legend. He says:
'And as 1 listened to the splendid

Taste Is Localizad.
Taste Is curiously localized In the
mouth. Put a lump of sugar on the
tip of your tongue and you will find it
distinctly sweet. Then try it halfway
back on the tongue and you will find
it tasteless. All sweet or aromatic
substances, such as wine, sugar and
coffee, can be properly appreciated by
the fronrhalf of the tongue, a piece of
Knowieage mat every true connoisseur
applies when be sips Instead of takin
a montnruL with most other sub
stances, however, the reverse Is true-
In these cases tbe tip of the tongue
serves only for touching It Is the back
part that tastes. The sides of the
mouth, too, are quite insensible to cer
tain substances not tasteless. Put
some salt or vinegar between the teeth
and the cheek and you will find them
absolutely flavorless. London Stand

necessitated the amputation of one
foot. He was told later by the doc
tors that the sacrifice of the other leg
was necessary were he to live. The
fame of Dr. Lister bad reached Heu-
ley, and, penniless and almost friend
less, he determined to try Edinburgh
Infirmary. Thither he traveled third
class in physical suffering such as few
have known, and when he reached
the infirmary bis whole possesskns
amounted to a few shillings. His con
fidence in Lister was justified, and his
leg was saved. He was and remained
a cripple, but neither hopeless nor help
less. His astounding nimbleness un
der these conditions suggested to Rol
ert Louis Stevenson the physical sketch
of John Silver.
