Peculiarities of Ferret*.
Ferrets ate usually rather shy and
?ometiuies are very crns? and bad tem
pered If they take a fancy to people
they are like squirrels and can t?e ca
ressetl and made much of and enjoy It
very greatly. Ferrets were originally
brought from England. They are of
great value to clear premises of rats.
When not hunting the ferrets should be
kept in a dry box or pen. with the top
off. the depth to be about three feet,
the bottom tilled in with sawdust or
earth The rat is the natural prey and |
the favorite food of the ferret. When
there ara no more rats raw meat is the j
very best th a i to feed, although bread i
and milk or any other food, with the
exception of salt meat, can be given
them, together with milk and water,
the same as to eats. At first the ferret
should t>e handled by the tail or back
of the neck, the latter being the pre
ferred way. A strange ferret should
never be handled from the front, as he
may bite.
A TrrliiB Reform.
A Presbyterian clergyman of S?i
York with two popular daughters has
discovered a ti-w way to end the vis
Its of their :> r a seemly hour? ?
plan which sight appeal to lay fami
lies as well. For a number of year*
It has been a custom of this good man |
to hold evening worship after supper,
always concluding the prayers with a '
short discourse Things went very
well until the daughters Ix-gan to re
ceive the attentions >f young men and
begged off or stole away j > make their
evening toilets. Then the minister
changed the devotional hour until 1C
la the eveuitig. This reform created
an upheaval, but the father insisted.
at the stroke of 10 the visiting
young men are now left one alterna
tive ? either to leave or join with the
family in prayer- and it has proved a
severe test of their devotion for the
daughters when those not prayerfully
Inclined stick it out, sermon and all.?

LOOK FOR VIORt
a 4IL TROUBLEj
According to '-eattle - papers the j
federal governmt it will not pay more,
than 'our cents j. pound for carrying ,
the mail from i-eattle to Nome next I
summer during the open season. Trans- j
portation men say that this will not be j
accepted by them. L. H. Gray, whoi
has charge of the Corwin. scheduled j
for the first sailing tor Nome, says j
there will be no first-class mail on the I
steamer at four ceots a po ind.
I.ist spring there was a disagreement
about the tran-|>ortation of mail, the
government otferiug four cents a pound
and the companies demanding eight]
cents. The der-dlocic stood for some- j
lime and several ships sailed withi-dt:
mail. Finally the Northwestern Steam
ship Company carried the mail fiee, I
for the accommodation of the people of j
Nome, scorning the government^
offer.

Black Splotches All Over Face ?
Produced Severe Itching-Year's
Treatment by Physicians Did No
Good and Became Despondent
Affected Parts Now Clear as Ever
? Alabama Lady's
CURE BY THE
CUTICURA REMEDIES
"About four years ago I was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
"and a few covering my body, which
produced a severe itching irritation, and
i which caused me a great deal of annoy
anceand suffering, tosuck an extent tliat
1 was forced to call 111 two of the leading
physicians of my town. After a thor
ough examination of the dreaded com
plaint they announced it to be skin
eczema in its worst form. Thev treated
me for the same for the length of one
year, but the treatment did me no g&od.
" Finally I became despondent and
decided to discontinue their services.
Shortly afterwards, my husband in read
ing a copy of a weekly New York
paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti
cura Remedies, lie purchased the en
tire outfit, and after using the contents
of the first bottle ofCuticura Resolvent
in connection with the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, the breaking out entirely
stopped. I continued the use of the
Cuticura Remedies for six months, and
after that every splotch was entirely
gone and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. 1 hive not felt a symp
tom of the eczema since, which was three
j years ago.
"The Cuticura Remedies not only
cured me of that dreadful disease,
j cczema, but other complicated troubles
as well; and I have been the means of
others being cured of the same disease
by the Cuticura Remedies, and I don't
hesitate in saying that the Resolvent
. is the best blood medicine that the world
has ever known." Lizzie E. Sledge,
