Eczema!
The Only Cure.
Eczema is more than a skin disease,
and no skin remedies can cure it. The
doctors are unable to effect a cure, and
their mineral mixtures are damaging
to the most powerful constitution. The.

Swift’s Specific is the only remedy
Which can reaeh such deep-seated blood
diseases. *
Eczema broke out on my Satrghter, and con

by several good doctors,
but grew worse, and the
dreadful disease spread
to her face. She was
taken to two celebrated

ceived no benefit. Many
patent medicines were taken, but without re
sult, until we decided to try S. 8. &.,amdby the-
time the first bottle was finished, her head be

pletely and left her skin perfectly smooth. She

Cheaper Cotton Production.
Judging from the statistics of
the cotton planting which have
been collected by The Financial
Chronicle for its annual acreage
estimate, the planter is a man who
learns from nothing and changes
in nothing. Ia spite of the fact
that the average returns from the
11,000,000 bale crop grown last
vear were the smallest ever known
with the exception of the one
grown in 1894, there has been*
hardly a perceptible reduction in
acreage. The Chronicle figures it
out that in some states the de
crease of acreage is hirge, in others
it is stationary, and in still others
there are such gains that prac
tically the change from last year’s
planting is only a loss of 0.45 per
cent—hardly worth nothing. A
favorite season or immunity from
insect enemies may wipe out this
small margin with ease. The
planter should not be too hardly
judged, however. The cotton pro
ducer is doing only what the steel
and iron manufacturer, the rail
way manager and all other busi
ness men are now doing. He is
increasing his output on a steadily
diminishing price for his product.
Railroads are carrying freight at
charges that meant bankruptcy
even as late as four or five years
ago, and steel rails, which once
brought as high'as one hundred
and fifty dollars a ton, were sold
last year as low as $14 and $15.
Yet .there is still a profit in man
ufacturing, and railroads that
formerly showed deficits now re
port surpluses and are declaring
dividends.
All have learned the art of
cheapening production, and so
it has been with the planter.—

The American navy has had
many fights in the West Indies.
The first engagement dates back
to 1776.
In that year the Lexington, Cap
tain William Hallock, was return
ing from the West Indies loaded
with powder and other military
stores, when he was captured by
the British frigate Pearl. The
captain of the Pearl placed the
Lexington in charge of a prize
crew. During the night the Yan
kee knocked the British sailor
V
from the tilled and the guards
from the deck, secured the compan
ion way against the exit of the
offlcers T and headed away for Balt
imore, where they arrived safely.
The first real sea fight occurred
in the same year, 1776* off the
western end of Porto Rico,.between
the American brig Andrea Doria
and the British brig Racehorse.
It ended after two hour’s fighting
in the surrender of the Racehorse.
Captain Biddle, he of the, An
drea Doria, subsequently called
the Randolph, sailed in February.
1777, from Philadelphia for the
Caribbean sea.
He had as consorts four cruisers,
carrying 64 guns, which had been
fitted out by the state of South
Carolina. The Randolph carried
32 guns, yet Captain Biddle, im
mediately upon sighting the Brit
ish ship-of-the-line Yarmouth, 64
guns, engaged her, while the state
cruisers were signaled to run for
safety. The engagement which
took place east of Barbadoes, re
sulted in the destruction of the
Randolph, with all hands on board
except four seamen.
Early in 1799 and 1800 occurred
the famous battle between the
American ship Constantine, 36
guns, and two French frigates—
Insurgent, 36 guns, and the Ven-
gance, 52 guns, while, the Ameri
can was cruising between Nevis
and -Kitts, at the northeast corner
of the Caribbean sea. First the
Insurgent was encountered and
captured after a determined fight
of several hours. The next year
the Constellation compelled the
Vengeance to fight almost at the
identical spot, and after the Ven
geance had sunk her flag twice she
slipped away under darkness of
the night.
Commodore Perry, the hero of
Lake Erie, was detailed to the
terminating the pirates in the
West Indies. He had the-John
for a flagship, and the Constella
tion, Captain Wadsworth, and the
Nonsuch, Captain Clexton. While
hie ship was entering the port of
Spain, Trinidad island, Commo
dore Perry died from fever he had
contracted.
After this little was done until
1821 to clear the West Indian
waters from pirates. Prom this
time until 1825 Captain David
Porter of Essex fame .broke up the
pirates*nest, and since then the
West Indian waters have been
clear of the black flag.
In Fly Time.
The'New York Sun notes a scar
city of flies in that metropolis.
The Washington Post has heard
no complaint of a shortage in the
crop at the capital. Senatorial
somonlence and flies are co-or
dinate characteristics of Washing
ton in-summer. They seem to ex
ist together as naturally as if each
were called into beings by and for
the other. The sleepy buzz of the
senators during hot and lazy sum
mer days would be too soporific
for even Washington were it not
for the titillative activity of the
flies upon the polished dopie of
thought wnich is the - trade mark
of the resident, permanent or tran
sient, of the District. It can be
seen, therefore, that nature makes
a wise provision in sending flies
to the national capital; and this
season nature has not been remiss
in her duty. The fly is doing bus
iness at his accustomed stand, and
i preventing legislation from stag
nating.
Why there should be a shortage
of the fly population of New York
this season is a.matter beyond
mortal comprehension. New York
is usually a pretty fly town, audit
ought to be-rather more so now,
since Waring is out of the street
cleaning department, and the gar
bage is handled under the direction
of Tammany Hall. Flies are sup
posed tovflourish under conditions
which might be bettered by the
conscientious attention of the
scavenger or liberal application of
soap and water. There are numer
ous “oldest citizens” who profess
to be able to prognosticate the
healthfulness of a season upon the
number, or rather the multitudes,
of flies which come with the ad
vent of “fly time.” Flies in
|swarms indicate a sicklv season,
while less numbers of them than
usual foretell a healthy season,
they say. If that is worthy of
credence, the chances are favorable
for New York to .pass a healthy
and happy summer this year, ac
cording to the Sun’p fly census.
However, the flv may be called
an insolvable enigma. He has
dwelled with us upon quite inti
mate terms, for thousands of years;
still we know very little about him ;
whence he comes or whither, he
goes. We have found no means of
saving ourselves from the annoy
ance of his familiarity. He defies
.our taps, and tanglefbot paper and
screen doors with as much cheerful
success a3 he does the vigorous slap
which we aim at him. We may
commit individual murder upon
him bnt he returns an hundred fold,
as if to convince us thftt he is a part
of our civilization, and is ineradi
cable.—Savannah News.

What Advertising- Is.
Advertising may be done in a
thousand ways. Any method
which tells anybody ibou-t any
thing is advertising. Advertising
is anything which conveys a mes
sage about a business or a product,
says Press and Printer. If a man
opoiis a store and tells his friends
about it, he' is advertising the
store. If lie prints bis announce
ment on cards and hands them to
the passers-by, he is advertising
the store. If lie makes a hundred
duplicates of his sign and nails
them on fences or dead walls,
where people can see them, he is
advertising.
If he causes his sign or his card
to be reproduced in a newspaper,
he is doing the same that he did
when he tacked the sign on fences
or handed the. cards to the pas-
sersby. He is putting his sign in
to the house of ’ every reader of
that paper. This hypothetical
man is a retail dealer. He is in
direct contact with the people to
whom he seeks to convey the news
of his enterprise.
The principle is exactly the same
with the maker or handler of goods
that are to have more than local
sale. Of all the ways of adver
tising, the best and the most cer
tain and cheapest is that qf using
the columns of a good newspaper.
Intelligent people with money to
spend always read the newspapers.
