That this conclusion is erroneous, and that Hobsoix'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 niae years I suffered with eczema, and during that time tried numerous so called specfics for it, but wirhout elfect.

New Orleans, July 17.--As a re- Bait of the scarcity of spot cotton, which the so called July squeeze has brought about in New York, the South ia being drained of practically all available cotton. Coastwise shipments from Savan nah, New Orleans, Mobile and Gal veston have been heavy for a week or more, and with the jump of July op- ! tion3 to 16 53c. in the New York fu ture market yesterday, the highest price recorded since the Sully cam paign in 1903, telegraphic orders be gan to pour into Memphis, New Or leans, Hous'on and other spot cen tres, calling for the shipment on spe cial trains of all cotton that could be bought. Ijocal spot houses have made ar rangements for special Iraiusover the Illinois Central and the New York Central railroads to cany a part ot this Cotton to New York. One of these epfcials, carrying 3,000 bales, left New Orleans this morning, and another, eIs j bearing a large ship ment, went from here tonight. The railroads are under contract to put the cotton in New York within 96 hours, and the trains will be operated on fruit express schedules. Tha Southern Pacific steamers Co- mus and Antilles carried heavy ship ments of cotton to New York last week, and the Comus will carry a large shipment this week. Houston, Memphis and other important mar bets also report heavy shipments. With middling cotton selling at 15 1 16 cents a pound in New Or eaas, 15 cents in Memphis and 15 3-4 cents in Houston, the Southern ship pers will make profits averaging about $4 a bale.

In sailing around the world east ward the days are each a little less than tweuty-four hours, according- to the speed of the ship, as the sun la met a little earlier every morning. These little differences added together will amount to twenty -four hours. This gives the sailors an extra day not in imagination, but as an actual fact. They will have done an extra ay's work, eaten an extra day's ration of food and imbibed an extra day's al lowance of grog. On the other hand, in sailing west ward the sun is overtaken a little each day, and so each day Is rather longer than twenty-four hours, and clocks and watches are found to be too fast. This also will amount in sailing around the world to the point of departure to one whole day by which the reckoning has fallen in arrears. The eastern bound ship, then, has gained a day, and the western bound ship has lost one. This strange fact, clearly work ed out, leads to the apparent paradox that the first named ship has a gain of two whole days over the latter. If we suppose them to have departed from port and returned together. Philadel phia Record. Modern Gold Mining. Up until about 1S50 only placer or surface gold was mined that is, free gold, deposited In the beds of streams, in sands and in the crevices of rocks. Placer mining, mainly In new and re mote regions, still furnishes a material though not a large percentage of the world's output. Formerly the alluvial gold was separated from the sands and gravels containing It by washing them in pans, cradles, rockers and sluices. In 1852 the hydraulic method was first employed In California. By this means a "giant" stream of water turned against the side of a mountain washes everything before it. The gold settles to the bottom of the runnel or sluice through which the gravel, snnd and water flow. In 1SS0 dredges or excavators were first used In Austra lia. Today steam and electric dredges produce a considerable portion of the world's output Byron W. Holt in Ev erybody's. Why Boiled Water Freezes Easily. Water which Is hot of coarse cannot freeze until It has parted with Its heat, but water that has been boiled will, other things being equal, freeze sooner than water which -has not been boiled. A slight disturbance of water disposes it to freeze more rapidly, and this Ls the cause which accelerates the freez ing of boiled water. The water that has been boiled has lost the air natu rally contained in It. which on ex posure to the atmosphere It begins again to attract and absorb. During this process of absorption a motion is necessarily produced among Its parti cles, slight certainly and impercepti ble, yet probably sufficient to accel erate Its congelation. In unboiled wa ter this distnrbance does not exist. Indeed, water when kept perfectly still can be reduced several degrees below the freezing point without Its becom ing ice. Gardens In the Ice. A glacier when it dislodges itself and sails away over the Arctic ocean never travels alone. In the wake of every large one floats a line of similar com panions. The Eskimos call this phe nomenon "the duck and ducklings,'' and any one who has watched the progress of the wild duck followed by her brood will appreciate the aptitude of the name. Strange as It may seem, plants grow and blossom upon these great ice mountains. When a glacier is at rest moss attaches itself to it, protecting the ice beneath. Jt'st as sawdust does. After a time the moss decays and forms a soil, in which the seeds of buttercups and dandelions, brought by the wind, take root and flourish. Those who have traveled much in arctic lands say the poppy does not bloom during the brief north ern summer. A Bismarck Incident. It used to be the privilege of Aus tria's representative at any conference of representatives of the German states to smoke, the others refraining. This was supposed to be an acknowl edgment of Austria's supremacy. At the first conference that Bismarck attend ed as Prussia's representative he be gan to puff smoke across the confer ence table as soon as the Austrian dip lomat lit up. That set everybody pres ent to smoking on equal tefms. and Austria's supremacy got a blow. A Timely Warning. "Tour dog Beems a very intelligent animal," - remarked an inexperienced sportsman to a gamekeeper. "Yessir." was the ready response. "Wonderful intelligent 'e is!

Th Tale of a Fox 'From th West Coast of Ireland. It has often been said that the fox ls the most cunning of all animals, but the following story of vulpine sagacity seems to require some cre . dence. Some fishermen on the west coast of Ireland were In the habit ot going to a small Island, a few hundred yards from the niuiiiluud In quest of bait. The Island was Inhabited by large numbers of rabbits and could 1 reached at low tide by wading, th water then being only a tew Inches deep. Cue morning they, went Iu tbeir boat quite early. It being high Hoe. 'and on landing saw what seemed to be a dead fox lying on the beach. The fur of the animal was all bedraggled, and he seemed to hare beeu drowued. One of the men, remarking that ts ' skin was worth something, pitched V him Into the boat Procuring their bait they returned to the mainland. , and then the man who had possessed himself of the fox seized him by the r tall and flung him on shore. As soon - as the animal struck the beach he ' picked himself up with considerable ! agility for a dead fox and shot off like : a flash along the cliffs, while the men stood 6tarlng at one another Iu mute astonishment The. men concluded that be had crossed over to the island during the night when the tide was " low in search of rabbits and. fiudlng in the morning that he was cut off from the mainland, counterfeited death, with the expectation of thereby procuring a passage to the shore in the boat an expectation which was fully realized. London Globe. A DOG IN THE SKY. in Ibetan Explanation of th Cause of an Eclipse. Every one has heard of the Chinese myth explaining an eclipse and the enormous dragon that stalks through ' the sky seeking to devour the sun. j But the Tibetan legend Is a little dif j ferent and very interesting as descrlb i ed by Sven Hedln in his Trans-illma- laya." After describing the eclipse and the terror and depression with which it was received he says: Then 1 visited Hlaje Tsering with the corner pillars of my caravan. He sat at his lacquered table drinking tea and had bis long Chinese pipe In his mouth. I Why is it that it has Just been so ! dark?" 1 asked him. "The gods of l the Dangrayumtso are angry because you will not allow me to visit tbeir ! lake." "No, certainly not A big dog roams about the sky and often conceals the sun. But 1 and the lama Lobsang have prayed all the time before the altar and have burned joss sticks be fore the images of the gods. You have nothing to fear. The dog has passed on."

This Indicates that they are parts of a world that burst into fragments loug, long ago. Whnt a thought a world broken up and scattered through space! Maybe we had another moon once, but that broke Into pieces and these are the pieces, and maybe they are parts of the planet that once revolved between Mars and Jupiter. Over 500 of the larger pieces of this planet have been discovered and catalogued. One of these flew away inside of Mars' orbit. Why may not many of the smaller pieces and these solid meteors be tbeyr It ls probably so. Columbus Journal. The Way to Float This is the advice of an old swimmer to those who cannot swim: "Any hu man being who will have the presence of mind to clasp the bands behind bis back and turn the face toward the zenith may float at ease and In perfect safety In tolerably still water. When you first find yourself in deep water you have only to consider yourself an empty pitcher. Let your mouth and nose and not the top of your heavy head be the highest part of you and you are safe. But thrust up. one of your bony bands and down you go. turning up the handle tips- over the pitcher." There are reason and logic in this. Dense. One day the teacher asked her class to write an essay on London, about which they bad Just been reading.

A generous and brave but very ec centric Virginia planter named Hill Carter, who bad ouce been an otScer In the (Juited States uavy, bxd a baud to hand battle at fisticuffs one day with his plantation overseer and came off second best. He therefore chal lenged the overseer to a formal duel, but the latter declined on the ground that, being a husband and father, he was under obligation nut to risk leav ing his family destitute. Carter at once removed that objection by set tling upon the family a comfortable annuity. Then everything was got ready for the fight, but Just as the two men faced each other the sheriff arrived on the scene, toot them luto custody and bud them bound over to keep the eace.

This is u b lutfly true dream story: A certain youre- lady, whom we will call Mary A., was reeoveriug from illness. The doctor had declared her to be out of dauger. und her friends and relatives were rejoicing in the fact. Nevertheless Mis A., receiv ing a visit one day from a sisrer. gravely assured her that she was go ing to die. The sister itooupoobcd Hit? idea aud treated it as an invalid's fan cy. Miss A., however, with the ut most calmness, repeated her state ment She was certain th.it she would die that night and begged her sister to fetch her parents and other relatives to say goodby. Thinking to humor her. the sister complied. One person was absent from this 8trauj:e family gathering a brother, who was at sea 8Dd was exiectedTome in a wee!; or two. "But It does not matter." Miss A. quietly observed. "1 saw him last night iu a dream and said goodby to him in his cabin." licfore the suu rose again Miss A.'s prediciiou had come true: she was dead. That how ever, is not the strangest part of this weird story. Wheu iu due time the sailor brother reached port he was met by his other sister, who begau to te'.l him the sad news. "Ah," he interrupt ed, "you need not tell me! Mary Is dead. I knew It. for she came to nie one night In my dreams and told me she was going to die and wanted lo say goodby.' On comparing dates it was found that the dreams were dreamed on the selfsame night. Lon don News. A MUSICAL PRODIGY. Richard Strauss Composed Dance Mu sic tt the Age of Six. Richard Strauss was a muslcnl prodigy. His brst effort at writing music was made at a Christmas cele bration, says the liesigner. Some chil dren were dancing a round ibe tree and singing a three part song. "I can com pose music like that." n:d the sis year-old Richard to his mother. There upon be sat down and did so. t'.ut his motLer was oWigt-d lo write in the words, because, although be could write music legibly, bis pot hooks were too large. Strauss himself not only vouched for the truth of this story, but said that while he was still sis years old he composed a polka and a schottische. Richard was ouly fifteen when a sym phony composed by him was brought out by Herman Levi, court conductor at Munich aud conductor of tbe first performance of "Parsifal" at Bay reuth. When Richard came out to bow Lis acknowledgment of the ap plause which followed the symphony a man In the audience turned to his neighbors and a.-ked. "What has that boy got to do with Iff "Nothing." was the reply, "except that he's the composer." Ancient Ideas of Africa. In mediaeval times Africa was an unknown continent us well as Asia. Until a few years after tbe discovery of Columbus no one had sailed around It and it was quite generally thought, as It had previously been thought in regard to Asia, that the African con tinent extended ou and ou iudennitely. It was supposed that far to the south was the zone of heat, in which no Im man being could live. This was by no meaus an unreasonable Iuference to the ancieuts. They knew that the far ther they sailed to the north the colder it grew and that in the extreme north was a regioa of perpetual snow. They also knew that the farther they sailed to the south the warmer it grew, and what was more natural for them to suppose that If they went far enough In that direction they would come u(mhi lauds that were parched aud haked and upon s-eas that boilt-d. where uotb lng could live but salamanders? The Smile. We talk of a smile of defiance. There is really no such thing. Such a so called smile is nothing more nor less than a snarl, a survive I of t he way our savage ancestors had of show lng their teeth in order to strike tear Into the hearts of their enemies. Tne real smile of pleasure begins with slightly opening the mouth, aud is. ot course, traceable to the joy of those same savage forefathers of ours at tbe prospect of food. A Mean Comparison. "Confound these railway time ta bles!" snapped Mr. Stubb as the loug folder refused to remain closed loug enough for him to place it In his pock et "They remind me of a womau." "The idea!" replied bis wife in sur prise. "What is the comparison':" "Why. they are bard to understand, and you can't get them to shut up." An Old Story.
