HUMBOLDT COMES
AND SAILS AGAIN
The Humboldt arrived yesterday j
?venlng a: 6:30 o'clocs with 55 passen
gers and a small quantity of genera!
freight (or Skagway and the interior.
She sailed at 9 p. m. with a dozen pas
sengers (or June iu and Puget Sound
points.
SKAGWAV CHIEFTAIN
Ltn UVtU LINE
Chilkat Jack Benson, the leading:
native citixen of Skagway, missed the
train from Whitehor.o Sunday more-1
ing and got left in the metrvpo.is of i
Southern Yu*on. JacK left tuis City
with the otner notable people to sec i
the sights on the other side of the |
mountains, ana wtule mere he became
so interested that the train got out ot |
town before he knew of It.
Flowerpots.
All new flowerpots reqnlrj to be !
soaked In water and allowed to dry
thoroughly before being used. The soil
does not hutig well to the bides of gar
den pots unless so treated. Dirty pots
are open to the same objection. I.et
auv one try to put a plant with fresh
soil Into a pot which has been used
before and left unwashed, and he will
find In a few days, wbeu the 9011 be
gins to dry, that It leaves a space and
does not adhere as it should to the
sides of it. Xo plant can possibly
flourish under such circumstances. The
roots of a plaut draw to the sides of a
pof naturally In search of moisture,
and growth of rourse Is checked If a
current of air Is allowed to pass be
tween them and the sides. Some plants
exhibit this tendency In such a retnais
able degree that few roots are to be
seen, except a network on the outside
of the soli next the pot
Digestible Food.
0m of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
ttist the true value of food to anybody
Is the measure of Its digestibility. Half
a pound of cheese Is vastly more nour
ishing as regards its mere composition
than half a pound of l>eef. but while
the beef will lie easily digested and
thus be of vast service to us the cheese
la put out of court altogether for ordi
nary folks by reasou of its indigesti
bllity. We should bear this rule in
mind when we hear people comparing
one food with auother in respect to
their chemical value. ? London Hospi
tal.
Fish, Flesh. Herring.
"Neither fish nor flesh nor good red
herring" occurs In Dryden's epilogue
to his Duke of Guise (182). The epi
logue takes the form of a dialogue be
tween the actress who spoke It and a
trimmer and ends with this exclama
tion:
13 neuters. In their middle way of
steering ;
They're neither flsh nor flush nor good red
herrtq*.

A Matter of Necessity.
"Xow." said the physician, "you will
have to eat plain food and not stay
out late at night."
"Tea." replied the patient, "that Is
what I have been thinking ever since
yon sent in your bill."
A Pretty Paradox.
"The charming debutante upsets all
received maxims."
"How go?"
"By proving that a miss can also ba
a hit"? Baltimore American.
The Color of J 'lames.
You have often no' iced the many
tinted bars and bands that rise in the
shape of "forked ton rues of flames"
from wood burning In the grate. It Is
ten to one. however, that you never
have thought to figure on the cause of
the variegated hues presented by
flames. To bring the matter quickly
to the point, we will say that the many
colors are the result of combustion
tmon; the different elements of the
wood. The lijjht blue la from the hy
drogen and the white from the carbon;
the violet is from the manganese, the
red from the magnesi(T and the yellow
from the soda, which are constituent
pcrts of the wood.

A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE
"We express to you herewith our best
thanks for the cure of our baby from
eczema. The eczema appeared when
the child was three months old. Ws
applied to several doctors and hospitals,
each of which gave us something differ
ent every time, but nothing brought re
lief. A physician recommended a salve
which we threw into the fire after two
days' use as the eczema became worse
bo that the baby scratched his face. At
last, one of our friends recommended to
us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint
ment. A few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted. Since then we
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six mont lis old and is quite cured.
All that we used was one cake of Cuti
cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Oint
ment, costing in all $1.25. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead of
throwing it into tne doctor's lap. I
myself only make twelve doUars a week
as" a teamster, but I recommend the
Cuticura Remedies strongly to all moth
era whose children suffer from such dis
eases. Ther are cheap, harmless and
good. C. ft Kara ana Wife, 343 East
65th Street, New York, March 30, 1906."
FOR SORE HANDS
Soak the hands on retiring, in a hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura bocp. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Ointment on thin pieces of old linen or
cotton. Wear during the night old,
loose, kid gloves, with the finger ends
cut off and holes cut in the palms, or a
light bandage of old cotton.
