DISFIGURING HUMOR. Brushed Scales from Face Like Pow der —Doctor Said Lady Would Be Disfigured for Life. CUTICURA WORKS WONDERS. "I suffered with eczema nil over mj body. My face was covered; my eye brows cairie out. 1 had tried three doc tors, but did not get any better. I then went to another doctor. He thought my face would be marked for life, but my brother-in-law told me to pet Cuticura. I washed with Cuticura Soap, applied Cuti cura Ointment, and took Cuticura Re solvent as directed. I could brush the scales off my face like powder. Now my face id just as clean as it ever was.- Mrs. Emma White, G4l Cherrier Place, Cam den, N. J., April 25, '05."

Luncher in Love with Pie Wanted to Secure the Maker Thereof. "By gosh! this is fine pie; the kind that mother used to make! ' gleefully ex claimed the tall, lank easterner standing before the lunch counter, as he put away liis third portion, when the train stopped 15 minutes for refreshments at a little station in the far west. "Let me have another piece of that apple pie, waiter. Its all right, you can bet!" lie drawled, with a feeling of deep satisfaction. After he had disposed of the fourth slice, says the New York Times, the New Enylar.dcr turned to the waiter and said: ".Say, boss, that was the best pie I've eaten since 1 left home. 1 swore I'd never get married, liut, by gosh! anyone that can make pie like that can be my wife. Bring on the cook, and, by Heavens! I'll marry her." "Do you mean it?" asked the Waiter, with a twinkle in his eye. "Kvi ry wold of it," answered the pie enthusiast. The waiter disappeared into the kitchen, returning a minute later leading a slant eyed and pig-tailed Chinaman with a bland smile upon his face. "This is the cook, boss," he said. "It's up to you." Amid the roar of laughter from the other passengers the poor New Englandei rushed back to the train. REMINDED HIM OF HOME. Rcugh Wentlier on the Ocean Made Kansan Think He Was Back on the Farm. A Kansan crossing the Atlantic in rough w-eathei went out on deck when a big gale was- blowing. Nobody was in sight except the captain, relates the Kansas City Journal. "Co below there," the captain shouted. '1 he passenger looked around to see whom he was talking to. "\ou mean me?" he veiled back when he taw there was no one else m sight. "Of course 1 do; go below," and the captaing came alongside. "Well guess not," protested the Kan san. "I'm up here to see how one of your mountain-high waves and 'terrific gales' compare with what we hive in Kan sas in the way of cyclones. This ain't a patch to what I've seen out our way." A big wave broke oxer the deck, sweep ing the Kansan aft. They picked him up with a broken leg. a twisted shoulder, a sprained wrist, and his face looked as' if it had been dragged backward through a br'ar patch. When lie came to he saw the ci plain. "By gravy, cap," he said, feebly, "that reminded me of home, only it was a dern e;ght wetter." HONEST PHYSICIAN Works with Himtelf First. It is a mistake to assume that physi cians are always skeptical as ta the curative properties of anything else than drugs. Indeed, the best doctors aro those •who seek to heal with as little use of drugs as possible and by the use of correct food and drink. A physician writes from Calif, to (ell how ho made a well man of-himself with Nature's remedy: "Before I came from Europe, where I was born," he stfys, "it was my cus tom to take coffee with milk (cafe au lait) with my morning meal, a small cup (cafe noir) after my dinner and two or three additional small cups at my club during the evening. "In time nervous symptoms devel oped. with pains iu the cardiac region, and accompanied by great depression of spirits, despondency—ln brief, 'the blues!' I at first tired medicines, but got no relief and at last realized that all my troubles were caused by coffee. I ther upon quit its use forthwith, substituting English Breakfast Tea. "The tea seemed to help me at first, but In time the old distressing lyrap toms returned, and I quit It also, and tried to ii e milk for my table bever age.

The reason of this is tha.. or never touches the poorer portions of a placer, and that from the richer portions it rarely succeeds in winning more than from a half to two-thirds of the gold; whereas the dredge gets it all. . . . Placer mining came to a stop in Egypt and Spain when their product fell to the level of hand labor; it stopped in Brazil partly for the same reason, and partly because, the gravel being small and fine, the placer fields are nearly flat, and the mines are 'out of grade.' It stopped in California because the tailings choked up the rivers and the law courts interdicted the hydraulic process. In Australia it had almost passed the level of hand labor when the gold dredge was invented. In Alas ka, though stopped In winter time for lack of running water, it is still going on during the summer time, when the streams are released from frost. In none of these countries was placer mining arrested because there was no more gold In the gravel, but for the THUNDER IN A GOBLET Did you ever hear of thunder in a goblet? Of course, it would have to be miniature thunder, or it would shat ter the goblet; and, indeed, it is so small an edition of it that the noise is like the popping of a cork from a bottle. But the principle of the thunder is, nevertheless, U*iere—that ■ ■ " ■ —-—- HOW THE GO3LETS ARE PLACED FOR EXPERIMENT. Is, the inrushlng of air to fill a ! vacuum. Hero is a pretty experiment show ing this: Take two goblets and place ' them mouth to month; then put around them, where the brims moet, j a rubber band about an inch in width.

This invention supersedes hand labor by machinery; it requires no 'grade' or declivity down which to sloice its gravel; it will choke no river; it needs only enough water to float itself in and to wash the gold with; and all of this water it can, and does, nse over and over again. It is as much at home in the arid but auriferous deserts of Arizona, as in the golden marshes of the Feather river." What is this "gold ship?" It is sim ply a dredge that floats in a pond of its own making—a pond which ac companies it wherever it chooses to go, and which enables it to move over the land in any direction. It scoops up the gravel, subjects it on its decks to the action of any desired process, mechanical or chemical—and then, having exhausted It of its gold, casts the gravel behind, and keeps on ad vancing, until the field before it is sifted and treated from surface to bed rokc. To quote further: "As the ground can be thoroughly tubed and sampled beforehand, this process lifts gold mining from the category of speculative enterprises to that of a manufacturing business. The gold dredge is a gold manufac tory, with an insatiable demand and assured market for its product, at the rate of $20.17 per Troy ounce fine, paid down by the mints in gold coin. No risk, no idle stock on hand, no bad debts, no commissions, brokerages, or discounts, nor no monopoly of trade, now or ever possible. An instant sale for the entire produce at a fixed price, paid in cash. Such are the incompar able conditions of the gold manufac turing business. It goes without say ing that, unless the cost of taking part in it is beyond the ordinary means of business men. such an_ industry will not fail to invite a vast number of par ticipants. This contingency can bo sett led at once. The dredges cost from $35,000 to $,"i0,000 each, according to size; a sum within the means of the average business man, commercial part ship or small corporation. . . . "Like most other inventions, the gold ship is a development. A gold dredge was used on the Magdalena river 20 years ago; the device was further developed several years later in New Zealand; it was brought al most to perfection in California; at the present time, a dozen machlno snops, scattered all over the United States, are rivaling one another in turning out a more and more perfect dredge. The home demand for these machines is so urgent, that but few have as yet been shipped abroad; yet several of them have already gone to South America and several more to Europe. The present rate of out-turn is about one machine per week; in the course of a few years it will be one per diem; in ten years it will probably be ten machines per diem. When this takes place, and perhaps before it, the world's production of gold, even should the quartz mines yield no more than at present, will be $2,000,000 a day." | side air makes them adhere mora : closely because the vacuum, is great er. You may think that it is the rubber i band that is holding the goblets to- I gether, but still another experiment i will show you that the only purpose I served by the band is to make a tight joint so that air cann-jt pass through it. Cut a ring from a sheet of rubber and put the goblets under water as before. Into one of them put a piece of ice. and over its brim place the rub ber ring, bringing the other goblet against the ring, too, so that they are mouth to mouth, with only the Hat rubber ring between them. Now, when I lie ice begins to melt, the contents of that goblet contract, forming a vacuum, and the pressure of tiie outside air holds the goblets so closely together that you may handle them out of the water without their separating.

The late Thomas Coldwell, the inventor of the lawn mower, was a great admirer of witty and alert pe...ons. At a dinner in Nffw Vork Mr. Coldwell saill ot a famous millionaire: "This man, through hard luck, once had to work as a butler. He made an ex cellent butler. Let me give you an in stance of the sort of work he did. "His mistress was giving a dinner party of 12 covers on a certain evening. One of the courses consisted of scalloped oy tters in silver shells. The set of silver shells was broken—there were only 11. The mistress, therefore, told the butler that she would not eat any oysters, and thus there would be just enough togo •round. "The butler, when the oyster course came, placed before the lady one of the shells. To his horror, she did not de cline it. Calmly she let it rest before her. If she started to eat it, one guest would be short of oysters. What was the matter with her, anyhow? "The butler watched her nervously. She took up her fork. She was actually about to plunge it into the dainty shell. Then the man, ever alert and ready, flew to her side and bent over her respectfully: " 'Pardon me, madam,' he murmured, 'but you said 1 was to remind you that the doctor forbade your eating oysterds on any account." Impertinent Poet. "Why." said Mrs. Oldeastle, "did your daughter break her engagement to tiiat handsome young poet?" "He insulted us," replied her hostess, as she carelessly ran her fingers through the pages of a $3,500 copy of "Squints and Glances." "In a poem he wrote about her he saiu she had lambent eyes, and Josiah just wouldn't stand for that, because it was an insinuation about us gettin' rich in the meat business."—Chicago Record -1 lei aid.

Wapello, lowa, Sept. 11th, (Special).— One of the most remarkable cures ever recorded in Louisa County is that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs. Hart was ir: bed for eight months, and when she was able to sit up she was all drawn up on one side, and could not walk across the room. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking of her cure Mis. Hart says: "ies, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me after I was in bed for eight months, and I know the cure was complete, for tjwt was three years ago, and I have not been down since. In four weeks from the time 1 started taking them 1 was able to make my garden. Nobody enn know how thankful I am to be cured or how muii 1 feel 1 owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills."
