Facts About Building Stone.
Almost everylady knows tlie rule of
the masons thru stone used In build
ing should be so placed tlutt It will lie
us it lay In lis natural bed when quar
ried. But Francis \V. Iloyt in the En
gineering Xews ays that this fa miliar
rule is not nhva.v s to be depended upon
and needs in many cases to be supple
mented with other precautions. There
are three planes of fracture known to
quarryuieu. The rift is the direction
Id which the stone splits most easily,
the grain that which is next easiest,
the head that which oilers the greatest
resistance. In a paving block the two
skies represent the rift fracture,
top and bottom the grain and the ends
the head. lint in a quarry the natural
bed is sometimes considerably inclined
to the place of the rift; hence the Im
perfection of the ordinary rub for plac
ing the stone in building.

.IMMEDIATE RELIEF
AND SPEEDY CURE
"H? baby was about nino months
old when she had rash on her face and
foot. Her feet seemed to irritate her
* most, especially
nights. They would
cause her to bo
broken of her rest,
and sometimes she
would cry until sha
was tired out. I had
always used Cuti
cura Soap myself,
and had heard of so
many curea by the
Cuticura Remedies
that I thought I
would give them a
trial. Theimprove
mentwas noticeable
! in a few hours, and before I had U6ed
one box of the Cuticura Ointment herfeet
were well and have never troubled her
since. I also used it to remove what
is known as "cradle cap" from her
head, and it worked like a charm as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the same
time. Now I keep Cuticura Ointment
on hand in case of any little rash or
insect bites, as it takes out the inflam
mation at once. Perhaps this may be
the means of helping other suffering
babies. Mrs. Hattie Currier, Thomaa
