ECZEMA ITCHES AND BURNS The return of warm weather means a return of torture to Eczema sufferers. The blood is charged with burni ng acids and acrid matter which is forced to tho surface through the pores and glands, forming pustules which discharges sticky fluid, and the itching is intense. Th® doctors said I had pustular Ee- aema; it would break outin small white pustules, mostly on my face and hands, discharging' a sticky fluid; crusts would form and drop off, leaving the skin red yiwl inflamed. I was tormented with the itching and burning character istic of the disease for five years, and during the time used various medicated ■caps, ointments and washes, but these applications seemed to make me worse. After taking S. S. S. a short time I be gan to improve; the itching did not worry me so much. I continued the medicine, and soon all the ugly erup tions disappeared and my skin is now as clear as anybody’s. I nave not been troubled with any breaking out since. Urbana, O. E. E. KELLY. Sometimes the disease is in the dry form, and bran-like scales form on the skin, but the cause is the same—humors in the blood. Salves, cooling washes, powders and the like can do nothing more than relieve the itching, because they do not reach the acid-laden blood, the seat of the trouble. S. S.

SOON TO OUTSTRIP JAPAN, HE SAYS Determineil t«* Develop AlonK Same Linen am Mikado’* Kingdom, Sayn nu Old Resident of China — Feeln Yoke of European Tyranny Keenly and Will Shake It Off—Dan«er of Future Dloodnhed. "China is bound to be tbe coming nation of the east. It will soon be ahead of Japan.” This Is the prophecy of a man who has spent thirty-six years in China and hopes to end his days there. It is that of the Uev. Dr. T. Richard, with whom l had flu in teresting conversation recently in Lon don, writes a member of the London Daily News staff. "China will be greater than Japan within half a century,” the doctor de clared, still in prophetic vein. The past history of China, considered with the remarkable movements now maturing there, bears me out. China has held together 1 larger number of people than you find in any other nation in tho world. It has done that for over ”,imhi years. That means great pow ers of organization. Now that China is adopting new methods you will find it will still be able to hold together in face of all the world.” “By use of arms?” “Well, China is determined to de velop along the same lines us Japan. The Chinese are prepared to modify their laws anil customs. They are going to learn everything they can from western civilization, in thirty years’ time, having learned all that Europeans can teach them, they will get rid of their teachers, as Japan has. Then you will see them rise ahead of Japan and become as powerful a na tion as any in Europe.” "Is Japan nursing them?” “To some extent she is. The Japa nese have for ten years been organiz ing an Asiatic league. This league, is not only itientihed with China, but with all the nations of Asia. Statesmen from Siam, India and Persia, as well as from China, are influenced by the league and visit Japan solely in con nectiou with its objects.” “Which are”— “To resist the west with its own weapons, but with an army far su perior in numbers. The people of Asia are sick of the white peril. The arro gance of Europeans has become un bearable to them. China feels this more keenly than the other Asiatic na tions. The Boxer rising was but an expression of that feeling. That re bellion taught the Chinese they could do nothing against European armies without European methods. They will not rise against the Europeans again until they have learned what tho Jap anese have learned. And then as a great power they will outclass the Japanese. The people in England— nay, in Europe—have no Idea of the extent to which China Is storing its arsenals and training its men.” “And what does it all mean?” "It means many things. First, China does not intend to lie at the mercy of Japan. It is a mistake to suppose that Japan is going to do what she likes with China. It also means that China is determined to shake off the yoke of European tyranny, which she feels keenly.** "Then you see a future of blood shed r "What I feel is that unless the na tions of Christendom begin at once to act justly toward China the day may come when < ’hlna may Inflict a terrible revenge upon the white races for their tyranny to the Chinese in their times of weakness. The Chinese are as much infected with the fear of the white peril as Europeans are with the fear of the yellow peril. Unless the two continents change their attitude I do not see how fearful bloodshed is to be avoided." "Can they change?” "I am sure that so far as China is concerned its development <‘nn go on without war. That, however, depends wholly on the attitude of Europeans. Lo' them be peaceful, and tho Chinese will lie peaceful. Let them make war, and tho Chinese will make war. The reawakening of China has not only brought a war party to the front, It has brought a peace party to the front. It depends on the attitude of western na tions as to which party becomes su preme In China. One of the main ob jects of ray present visit to England is to plead for more peaceful methods In our and other nations’ dealings with China.” “Falling which”— “China will soon have a standing army that will threaten the peace of the whole world. It Is not too late for western nations to prevent that, and in preventing It they would learn the lesson of universal peace themselves.” When It Sound* "Chnnare” Old Arm/ Horse Wreck* Bnteher Cart. He was a big white horse, with small ears that had a habit of turning back and a big square head that swung low to the breast strap, which drew a load of mutton for Louis Feinberg of Brooklyn down Front street the other evening to the Hamilton ferry, says the New York Herald. The load was heavy, and he had forgotten the brand “0 U. S. C., H. C.,” on the hip, where army horses carry their medals of honor. “Go on, blow It,” said a civilian ad mirer of a young bugler who stepped at that time off the Governors island ferryl>oat Hancock on leave of absence and with his bugle under his arm. The young bugler put the brass to his lips, and the cracking notes of “walk” rang over South ferry. The white horse pricked up his ears. “Trot!” cried the bugle. “Whoa! What’s the matter with you?” ejaculated Mr. Feinberg. “Gallop!” said the bugle. “Whoa! Whoa! Back!” said Mr. Feinberg, sawing on the reins. The big muscles jot' the white horse stood up like carved marble. He knew what was coming. So did everybody else in the neighborhood, for drawing the mutton wagon as if it were a feather weight he plunged straight ahead, with both ears up and nostrils open wide. “Charge!” cracked the bugle. There was a flash of white from Front street, there was a scurrying of sidewalk merchants on the sidewalk in front of South ferry, there were la ments as stand after stand went over, and a big white horse, every bit of harness gone, but with eyes flashing and head up. struck the closed gates of the Hamilton ferry a resounding blow.

Thousands of acres of land in that section have been left waste by the cutting down of the timber, and as they are unfit for agricultural purposes it Is proposed to utilize at least a por tion of them by starting great pre serves of elk, with a view to supplying the market with elk venison at reason able rates. The idea has already been worked out to good advantage in Can ada and in a small way in the upper peninsula of Michigan. According to Mr. Fowler, the elk are very prolific, and with proper care the elk farms, or randies as they should perhaps be called, can be* made to yield big profits. They require very little care, and there has always been an excellent market for the venison, which at preient commands from F»0 to 05 cents per pound. A similar move ment was put on foot in New England several years ago, and the most grati fying results have been attained. The elk ranchers of Canada state that the elk are not destructive feed ers, nor do they range widely when properly cared for and not molesteu. They can lie cared for as easily as cattle and give better profit. Mr. Fowler states that arrangements are practically complete for the estab lishment of several ranches on proper ty owned by Chicago lumbermen. Chi cago and Sault Ste. Marie capital ex clusively will back the enterprise. The necessary animals for starting the business will he brought from some of Mr. Fowler’s Canadian farms. PLAN TO BREAK SOCIAL ICE.

The wife of Governor McDonald of Colorado believes that women who are obliged to hold forma! receptions on account of their husbands’ official po sitions should be allowed to sit while receiving their guests, says a Denver dispatch. She says: “My plan is to arrange five chairs In a semicircle, with the hostess occupy ing the one In the center, and as the guests drop in they can bo seated for a few minutes’ conversation. It is a sensible proposition, and I believe that after the ice is broken and the people grow accustomed to the Idea it will grow very popular. Of course anything unconventional Is liable to attract laughter, deprecation, ridicule and op position, but common sense will en dure to the end.” SchoIarMhfp For Trxv*boy*.

President Eliot took occasion to com mend the objects of the union itself. Several months ago he made a notabl* address to the members of the union.
