Light Drawn From Sugar.
A phenomenon, tho catiso of which
litis not yet been satisfactorily ex
plained, was recently observed by n
government BclontlHt during the
rntirsn of certain experiments. Pinks
of loaf Biignr were niotintcd on a
lathe n nil rapidly minted whllo a
hummer played lightly ngiiliiHt them.
An almost continuous rudlatlon of
light was thus proiliieed from tho
Biimir. It was shown that tho light
did not arise from healing of the
sugnr, nnd It Is believed to have bi'en
canned by pome clinngo tailing place
In tho sugar crystals. Tho net of

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Ifnd Itnnnlng Sores From Rexes
ma Boy Tortured by Poison Oalc
Both Cured by Cntlcura,
"Last year, after having my little girl
treated by a very prominent physician foi
an obstinate ease of eczema. I resorted t
the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous re
lief afforded that wo discarded the phy
sician's prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment snd
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with
the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limb
were covered with .unning sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well, and
there has been no recurrence of the
trouble.
"In July of this year a little hoy in out
family poisoned his hands and arms with
poison oak, and in twenty-four hours hi
hands and arms were a mans of torturing
ores. We used only the Cuticura Rem
edies, washing his bands anil aim with
the Cuticura Soap, nnd anointing them
with the Cuticura Ointment, and tlien
gave him the Cuticura Resolvent, in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. So we have lots of cause for
feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies.
We find that the Cuticura Remedies are
a valuable household standby, living as w
