"There is nothing th.e matter 'with my skin, and 1 thought Cuticura Soap was only for skin troubles." True, it is for skin troubles, but its great mission is to firevent skin troubles. For more than a generation its deli- cate emollient and prophylactic properties have rendered it the standard for this purpose, while its extreme purity and refreshing fragrance give to it all the advan- tages of the best of toilet soaps. It is also invaluable in keeping the hands soft and white, the hair live and glossy, and the scalp free from dandruff and irritation. 'While its first cost isalew cents more than that of ordinary toilet soaps, it is prepared with such care and of such materials, that it wears to a wafer, often outlasting several cakes of other soap, and making . its use, in practice, most econom- ical. Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, but the truth of these claims may be demonstrated without cost by sending to "Cuticura," Dept. 7M, Boston, U. S.

In New Eng- letal the important werk of doctoring decaying and decrepit trees andgiving them years of furthe rlife and usefulnes% has been going on for several years, but It is not eonfined to the traveling expert, who is a recent comer into the 'general field. Many towns and cities in New England support a tree surgeon as an of- ficial and appropriate money annually to meet the cost of his skill in treating old and failing trees. Tree surgery is but an advanced devel- opment of aboroeulture. Both fruit- and shade trees are valued now as never be- fore, and • It is fast becoming generally known that by skilful methods of tree surgery it is possible to give new lease Of lite to trees which apparently have reach- ed their limit of existence. The process of treating trees that need the surgeon's aid include several branches, among trimming, chaining, packing, scraping, spraying and fertilizing. The tra.velling tree surgeon is usually a graduate of some forestry school, and begins his work by canvassing a town and interesting individual tree owners and municipal authorities in the impor- tance of preserving their shade 'and other trees. Familiarity and long association with the trees have blunted appreciation of the fact that they _are getting old, and many years are nRessary to grow new ones. Rarely does the tree surgeon fail to convince his hearers that the old trees may be made to live for at least a part of the tini ethe new ones are com- ing on to take their places. This special- ist usually charges !Se a day for his ser- vices, sr he will contract to do the work reeuired at f's much a tree. An object lesson in tne besieficient transformation the tree surgeen has effected in troes which he has treated is offered in the vilage of Csoshen, N. Y., which dommun- ity W 200 years old. On many of its mag- nificent elms and maples, old as the vil- lage itself, age and neglect Iliad set the seal of approaching death. Now theY show new and astonishing vigor and promise of many years of life, and yet the tree surgeon's treatment began only three years ago. The process of renewing the usefulness of a tree is most interesting. After a mass of decay has been removed from the interior of a rotting trunk there re- mains a shell of living sapwood and bark Into this •cavity a steel brae Is inserted and bolted in place. This supplies Shat stability to the stem which was impaired by the decay of the sup- porting hardwood. Then what are known as the watersheds are cut, to prevent moisture remaining In contact with the wood, 'Tshese consist of deep grooves cut aboutan inch inside of the edges of the cavity and down to the ground. Then the cavity is filled in with cement, reen- forced by wiring stretched from nails In the wood. The cement being pressed tightly Into the watersheds forms chan- nels down which the Water flows to be led out at the base of the tree. The cement is built out into the orig- inal outlines of the tree. The bark, which has been cut back for an inch or so to prevent its being bruised, while the work , Is in progress, eventually covere the fill- ed in wound, thus giving to the tree Its normal appearance. In the CaSe of exceptionally large CONS- tif:F, the opening is covered by strips of - zinc. Cemerit is forced down into every crevice, and allowed to be set after ubich the zinc is removed and a coat of fine finishing cement pat on and palrit- ed the color of the tree's bark. By this method the tree surgeon is enabled te build mile trees which sometimes half of the wood may have been destroyed by lightning or from some other cause. It is remarkable how quickly such wounds will heal when thus protected froth further decay. Besides the benefit gained from the travelling tree surgeon's work his advent has been of great importance in arousing a feeling of civic pride in rural ceiriniurl- tiee where the care of and attentiOit to their trees haVe never been given a thought. In places where unscientific them the filing of cavities with cadent, efforts to Improve the appearance of the tres have been Made the mistakda are Corroded and the mariner of avolditig slrsituenvile in the future pouited out,—N. y I ithl weak then am I strong," beeause then I lean hardest on God. We shall need Christ to help us bear up under possible sorrows. It is grim consolation to say, "Mau is born to trouble as the .sparks fly upward." Stoicism is a broken reed.. A lad in a deaf 11,1111 dtunb asylum on being asked, "How is it that, when the world is full of happy children, you have been depriv- ed of speech and hearing?" wrote in re- ply: "Even so, Father, for so it seem- eth good in thy sight." This is coming near to the infinite heart. This is. drinking out of the wells of salvation. God is not the author of our calamities. He ,does not go up and down sowing dragon' teeth; this, is the work of the devil. But God is present always in the midst of sorrow. It does not spring up .out of the ground. Ire knows about it, controls it, restrains it; and in the long run makes all things work together for good. to them that love Him.. Let is be 'sure that we are setting out right; that we are putting our hand in that of the Divine Guide. Ile gives us the joy of living at the outset by re- moving the sense of sin. When Christian in the allegory set out from the City of. Destruction, he bore his burden with him until he came to a hill whereon was a-eross, and at the foot of the cross an open sepulchre. As he drew near his load was loosened from his shoulders and rolled into the sepulchre, where, as he says, "It fell in, and I saw itno more." For awhile he gazed in wonder at the cross, then turning saw three an-. gels, one of whom said, "Thy sins be forgiven;" another, "Peace be unto thees;" and the third gave him a scroll with a seal upon it. Whereupon Chris- tian gave three leaps for joy and went on singing, 4 ALONG THE LINE OF CI N101 RAILWAY Dodd's Kidney Pills Work Wonder- ful Curea these are obvious advantagein buying a readyenised ration, These feeds can he bought in hundred poand bags, or by the balf-ton or ton, end. limns, dealers 10 poultry supplies sell small quantities, as 11.1141)c:1i:tog! rs ndoe\i‘i,i rte.Q. briofoodunddrya iiittisilei A Tonic Medicine is a Necesaity r,tort.3 of all dealers in poultry supplies at This Season. met grain, and not a few hardware deal - ors carry them th stock.

When the wet mash was fed there was always a Wild •scramble for it, each fowl seeming intent upon getting down as much as possible before her niatee got it all. The food, therefore, becasoe a solid mass in the crop, whieh it took Boma time for the muscular , aetion to disintegrate and pass along to the giz- zard, where the work of grinding the food and mixing into it the digestive ferments was begun. The fowl is corn - pelted to eat the dry mash slowly, taking but two or three mouthfuls, ane to mix with it a portion of saliva be- fore swallowiug. The food enters the crop already Partly moistened with saliva, so that wheu it is passed on to the gizzard it is in the be.st condition or that organ to go at once to work upon it and prepare it for the digestive tract. Never Let the Dish Get Empty. Having the dry -mesh mixture before them allthe time, the birds hove no incentive to bolt their food; they can go to the hopper at any time during the day and. eat as much as they wish, At no time will more than one or two 'fowls beseen eating at once, If we note their movements, however, we hall see one or two there for a moment; then as they step aside others take their place. That this leisurely eating is far better for -the health—and conse- quently the egg .yield—of the birds any one Who studios conditions will readily believe. That there is a decided saving in labor in the dry -feeding method searcely needs demorstration. The mixing and feeding of a cooked mash was an every. day task, and that it was a genuine task all of us who labored in it well know. By the dry -feeding method the mash mixture is put in the hoppers at arty time, day or evening, and ties hop- pers are refilled about once a week. The 'essential thing is that there shall be mash in the hoPpers all the time, When we observe that the supply in a pen is getting low we refill the hoppers in that pen. And the mixing ma,y be done at any leisure time; we can mix up a bushel, or half a ton, or a ton, :Ind it is there in the bin ready for use when wo want it. • A Labor -Saving System. Together with this dry mash in the hoppers two feeds a day are furnished of a mixture of whole and crackel grains and seeds, fed, dry. --Observation reveals thatthe birde prefer the whole , and cracked grains to the mash, and they will scratch and seareh for these as long as there is reasonable probability of being rewarded by a find. When the seratching seems DO longer worth while they will turn to the dry -mash hopper. These twe daily meals of scratch feed I give in the 'early milling and mid-af- ternoon. ,For convenience 1 throw the morning feed into the scratching litter after the birds have gone to roost for the .night.

Quite a crowd collected early yes- terday afternoon in front of the win- dows of the Fessenden News Depot to watch a man drilling some holes in the big show window. He used what looked like an ordinary bit(brace and did not have the slightest diffi- eulty in boring round holes in the glass. The facts of the case are that some- body either leaned against the win- dow or kicked it during the previous night and started some cracks in the lower right hand corner. As is well known, when a crack starts in a window it always keeps right on to the top unless it be checked by boring a hole ahead of it in the glass. This w: done, -and the tool the man used handled the job with the great- est ease,—From the Portland Press. 4-:1 I 50 CENTS PER WEEK Puts An Organ or Piano in Your Home. THE ONLY WAY.
