Every child born into the world with an inherited or early developed tendency to torturing , disfiguring humors of the Skin and Scalp , becomes an object of the most tender solicitude , not only because of its suffering , but because of the dreadful fear that the disfigu ration is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and pros perity.

Among the Eskimos the sun Is a maiden and the moon Is her brother who is overcome by a-wicked passion for her. Once as this girl was at a dancing party In a friend's hut some one came up and took hold of her shoulders and shook her , which is , ac cording to the legend , the Eskimo man ner of declaring one's love. She could not tell who it was in the dark , and so she slipped her band in some soot and smeared one of his cheeks with it. When a light was struck in the hut she saw to her 'dismay that it was her brother , and without waiting to learn any more she took to her heels. He started in hot pursuit. And so they ran until they got to the end of the world , the jumping off place , when they both jumped into the sky. There the moon still chases his sister , the sun , and every now and then he turns his sooty cheek to the earth , when he becomes so dark that you cannot see him.

Food That Scetna to Satinfr the Useful Irittle sipinner Perfectly. Professor C. W. Woodworth of the State University is engaged in breed ing silkworms which will thrive on lettuce. It appears that the leaf of the lettuce Is a nutritive equivalent , or nearly so , of the leaf of the "white mul berry , and Is a much cheaper product , besides being available at all seasons of the year. The fact , however , that the lettuce and mulberry leaf are chem ically nearly identical does not by any means prove that the silkworm \vill thrive upon lettuce or that the quality of the silk produced tvill equal that produced on the natural food of the worm. We do not yet know enough about the physiology of di gestion to say in advance what can or what cannot be done. Neither is it certain that the natural period of pro ducing silk can be materially extended or changed. It is the business of the experiment station to find out such things. There is no reason to doubt that in any case a strain of silkworm can be produced whose digestive apparatus shall be adapted to a lettuce diet or that by due process of selection a good quality of silk can finally be produced In that "way. Where the outlook Is so promising it is the duty of the experiment .stations to Investi gate. Comparatively few experiments bring results of much economic im portance , but some do bring siich re sults and all contribute to the sum of human knowledge. Whether or not the silk industry can be made commer cially profitable in any country so sparsely inhabited as California is un certain , but Professor Woodworth's ex periments are certainly of importance to the industry and as such are worth making whether the people of thi. $ State derive immediate profit from them or not.

Sir Henry was attacked by pleurisy a few days ago and his illness was complicated by chron ic heart trouble. , He had been in a semi conscious condition for two days. Born a waif , bred in a poor house , the career of Sir Henry Morton Stanley is one of the most notable in history. He at one time held the highest position that it is possible for R newspaper man to achieve. He led an exploration party into the wilds of Africa and found Liv ingstone , who up to that time was the most noted of all African explorers. He was born in abject poverty in 1841 and was christened John Rowlands. His birthplace was near Denbigh , in Wales. For ten years he lived in a work house. Having attracted the attention of a rich man of the name of Stanley , he was brought to New Orleans. His patron died suddenly without a will and the boy was left to make his own way in the world. He was a cabin hey on the Mis sissippi for several years. At the out break of the Civil War he enlisted iu the Confederate army. He was taken prisoner. This proved no insurmountable obstacle to the waif of Wales , for he enlisted in the Union navy and rose to the rauk of ensign. Goes Into Newspaper Work. The war over , he took up newspaper work. In 1807 he was marching across the plains with Hancock and Custer and interviewing "Wild Bill" Hickock , an ad venturer in another field. At the close of the same year he was on his way to Abyssinia as a war correspondent again. He represented the New YO& Herald in the campaign of the British against that country. Next he was commissioned by the same paper to go in search of Livings tone , the explorer , in the heart of Af rica. His success is recounted in the famous volume "How I Found Liv ingstone. " published in 1S72. His second journey is described in 'Through the Dark Continent" (1S7S ( ) , for which he was presented at the Sor- boune with the cross of a chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the president of the French Geographical Society. The third time he went into Africa was in 1S79. He traveled from the mouth of the Conijo ] ,400 miles up that river to Stanley pool. In 1887 he was presented with the freedren of the city of London , just be fore his departure for Africa the fourth time. The story of that journey was published in "In Darkest Africa , " aiid universities and scientific societies gave him all sorts of honors. Honors Conferred on Stanley. Stanley received the degrees of doc tor of laws and doctor of civil laws from the English universities. His marriage in 1890 to Miss Doro thy Tennant , the famous English paint er , was a social event of world-wide in terest. It was not until two years later that he conceived an ambition to stand for Parliament , but to do this he had to become a naturalised subject of the Queen , for it was held that he had lost citizenship in his native country by serv ing in the American Civil War. As he served on both sides in the war between the States , it is not certain whether it was as a Confederate or a Federal he became for a time an American. He was defeated at the polls in 1S94 , but the. next year was elected. lie served in Parliament from 1895 to 1900. Stanley's election to Parliament was the realization of his ambition of the period of cakes and ale. He represented North Lambeth. He had his eye on Par liament ever since his marriage with Miss Dorothy Tennant. That carried him into the most powerful "set" in En gland the brilliant , cynical , but most practical group , of which Balfour is the exemplar. Defended British Rule. His voice was for colonial aggression , for the extension of the imperial gov ernment , for war with Russia at Cabul , with France on the Congo , with anybody anywhere who disputed or intended to dispute the sentiment that a Briton nev er , never , never is a slave. The rescuer of Emin Pasha , the hold er of world's medals and honors , mar ried in Westminster Abbey , he was cor dially detested by most of his coumry- men who knew him. He published a story of Major Barttelot's in "Darkest Africa , " and the storm broke. What if a cannibal feast had been ordered as a contribution to the photo graph album of an English country house ? What if lust and murder , pil lage and ra ine attended the course of this pioneer of English civilization ? De mortuis Anglorum nil nisi honum , and Stanley was put in the pilory not for his own sins though he had enough of them but for the sins of his enemies. TO FIGHT THE MEAT TRUST. Western Stock Raisers to Build Inde pendent Packing Houses The meat trust is to be the object of several 'attacks in the West during the next few years. The most important is that engineered by the stock raisers , who propose to fight it by building inde pendent packing houses at competitive points. Cattle owners are to contribute to the capital stock on the basis of SI for each head of stock owned by them , while sheep and hog men are to put up 25 cents for each piece of live mutton or pork owned by them. The object of this movement is to secure a better price for the live stock and at the same time a lower price for the consumer. Three years ago live beef sold for $6.50 a hundred , while dressed beef brought S7.50. Now dressed beef is up to $8.50 , while on the hoof cattle bring $5.50 on an average. The stock men say that the packers are getting too big a slice of the profits. Tonpme Cut Out to Silence Him. For some time a band of negroes have been committing depredatjons in and about Hawkinsville , Ga. William Thom as , an ordinarily well-behaved negro , was inveigled into joining them. Regret ting his error , he talked of quitting the band. Fearing he would tell what he knew of them , the band captured him carried him into a swamp and cut hi ? tongue out He was dying from loss o blood when found , and as he diil not know how to write he died without be ing able to tell who his assailants were. Have Every Reason to Praise Pe-ru-na , " WRITES MRS. KANE. OF CHICAGO. I /GSACE. EDWARD. MYKTLE.GEORGE wo R VU ( OWE. v 172 JcbcrJl f CHICAGO , I u. Mrs. K. Kane , 172 Sebor Street , Chicago , 111. , writes : "Peruna has been used so long in our family that I do not know how to get along without It. I have given it to all of my children at different times when they suffered with croup , colds and the many ail' ments that children are subject to , and am pleased to say that it has kept them in splendid health. / have also used it for a catarrhal difficulty of long standing and it cured me in a short time , so I have every reason to praise Peruna. " Mrs. K. Kane. Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House hold Against Catarrhal Diseases. One of the greatest foes with which every family has to .contend is our changeable climate. To protect the family from colds and coughs is always a serious problem , and often impossible. Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate of every one to catch cold. Care in avoiding exposure and the use of proper clothing will protect from the frequency and perhaps the severity of colds , hut with the greatest of precautions they will come. This is a settled fact of human experience. Everybody must expect to be caught somewhere or some how. , . Perhaps it will bo wet feet , or a draught , or damp clothes , or it may be one of a thousand other little mishaps , but no one is shrewd enough to always avoid the inevitable catching cold. There is no fact of medical science better known'than that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Thousands of families in all parts of the United States are protected from colds and catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family Peruna always stays. No home can spare Peruna after the first trial of it. We have on file many thousand testi- Trnthful George. "George , dear , " asked the fair female In the hammock scene , "was you ever in love before ? " "Sure , " answered the masculine portion tion of the sketch. "You don't think for a minute that I'd practice on a nice little 'cirl like you , I hope. " Americans consume twelve pounds of coffee per capita in a year. Danes and Norwegians use more. England being a tea drinking country , uses less than three-quarters of a pound. . Mrs. A.

He has always suffered \ ] from catarrh of the head and throat , \ and I bad to use extra precautions so 3 not to have him exposed to damp or cold weather. Last year ; he was taken with la grippe , and as it was a severe case , caused me much anxiety. No medicine helped ] him till he took Peruna. I noticed an improvement at once and in three weeks he was a different child ; the grippe had been com pletely cured and I noticed that the catarrh was made better. He kept taking it two weeks longer , when he was entirely well. I now use it off and on for colds , cramps , indi gestion or general Indisposition , and\ \ find it superior to any doctors or < medicine I ever tried. It keeps me , as well as my child , In perfect health , and I gladly recommend it to mothers. " Mrs. A. Hobson. menials like the ones given above.
