Twill now state that made miracu-

disease known. The patient is a man for
ty years old; had suffered fifteen years.
His eyes, scalp and nearly his whole body
presented frightful appearance. Had
had the attention of twelve different ply
sicians, who prescribed the best remedies
known to the profession, such as iodide
potassium, arsenic, corrosive sublimate,
sarsaparilla, etc. Had paid $500 for medi-
cal treatment with but little relief. l pre-.
vailed upon him to use the CuTIcuRA and
CUTcURA SOAP externally. He did SO, and
was completely cured. The skin on his head,
face, and many other parts of the body,
which presented most loathsome APP
pearance, is now as soft and smooth as an
infants, with no scar or trace OF the dis
ease left behind. lie has now been cured

One must be q woman to know how
to revenge.
Woman conceals only what she
does not know.
Woman is a creature between man
and the angels.
Woman is more constant in hatred
thanin love.
Most women curse ST before EN-.

Women who have not fine teeth
only laugh with their eyes.
Friendship between women is only
a suspension Of hostiliLies.
Women ask if a man is discreet, as
men ask if a woman is pretty.
When a woman is no longer attrac.
i've she ceases to be lnC0nstant.
Women never weep more bitterly
than when they weep with spite.
The most chaste woman may be
the most voluptuous, if she loves.
When u woman cannot be reveng.

A woman and her servant, acting
in accord, would outwit a dozen
devils.
A woman forgives the audacity
which her beauty prompts US to be

Woman is a charming creature
who changes her heart as easily as
her gloves.

Walking.


Bertha Won Hillern, the female
pedestrian, in an article in the
Youths Companion thus tells GLOW to
walk"
Do not walk rapidly at the start.
Begin slowly and then gradually in.
crease the pace until it is little
faster than an ordinary gait, then
try to keep the same even step and
movement.
In walking, preserve as upright a
position as possible; from time to
time make a new effort to grow lit.
tie taller, to 'straighten the back,
throw out the chest, hold the head
higher, till that position becomes
habitual.
Never go from warm room into
cold air and start suddenly into a
rapid walk, and never walk faster
than can be done with closed mouth.
The breathing should be done in
long, slow, respirations through the
nose, as regularly as possible. A
habit Of long, regular respirations
can be acquired, and it prevents the
lungs being subjected to too sudden
changes of temperature.
Try to acquire the habit of walk
ing from the hips-I had almost said
from the shoulder, which is really
the true way.
The foot should be lifted not higher
than is necessary TO allow it to swing
easily forward, and the knees should
bend just as little as need be to per
nit that swing.
Never walk rapidly and then stor
abruptly, but toward the end Of O
walk, or when about to stop for any
time, slacken the speed gradually
until it is quite slow.
The effort TO follow any Of these
rules is perhaps tiresome at first, but
it will repay the trouble. At first
one should make the length of the
walk little more than enough Il
feel really tired, but do not walk un
til tired and then enter a horse-cal
or carriage to return home. Begin
with a short distance and return, il
that does not fatigue, make it longer
the next time, until you are tired
then gradually increase that until
you reach limit you would like fol-
the habitual walk.
BE very careful not to get heated
by walking and then allow yourself
to get suddenly chilled. That is one
reason why you should not get into
a car or carriage after walking.
TO persons having heartdisease or
delicate lungs, injudicious walking
might be hurtful, but with the pre-.
cautions l have suggested even such
will be benefited.

MolIie's Ram.

Mollie had a little ram as black as
rubber shoe, and everywhere that
Mollie went he emigrated, too.
He went with her to church one
day-the folks HILARIOUS grew to see
him walk demurely into Deacon AL.
lens pew.
The worthy Deacon quickly let his
angry passion rise, and gave it an
unchristian kick between the sad
brown eyes.
This landed rammy in the aisle;
the deacon followed fast, and raised
his foot again; alasl that first kick
was his last.
For Mr.. Sheep walked slowly back,
about rod, It's said, and ere the
Deacon could retreat, it stood him on
his head.
The congregation then arose and
went for that ere sheep. Several
well directed butts just piled them
in heap.
Then rushed they straightway for
the door with curses long and loud,
while rammy struck the hindmost
man and sent him through the
crowd.
The minister had often heard that
kindness would subdue the fiercest
beast. "Aha!" he says, an try that
game on you"
And so he kindly, gently called
Come rammy, rammy, ram; to sec
the folks abuse you so, I'm grieved and
sorry am"
With kind and gentle words he
came from that tall pulpit down, say
ing, "Rammy, rammy, rammy, ran
best sleepy in the town.
The ram quite dropped its humble
air, and rose from off his feet, and
when the parson lit he was behinc
the hindmost seat.
And as he shot out the door, ant
closed it with slam, he named {

world is troubled with the interference
of people with what does not concern
them. Neighborhoods are driven crazy
by the reports of idle or mischievous
people, who watch for occasions of

A Ward to Thinkers-

The perfection OF strengthening medicine
consists in its leaving no unpleasant after
effects Whisky, ale beer and other alcoholic
beverages excite the brain aud blood-vessels
to unnatural activity and while the whirlpool
of excitement lasts, all feeling Of languor and
distress Is banished, but when the reaction
comes, "the last state of that man is worse
than the first" lnvalids should trust more
to nature for their recovery and avoid the use
of stinulants as altogether injurious. Be
partial TO a fruit and vegetable diet and choose
such medicines as are strengthening to the
whole general system. To this end no better
remedies can be used than Yellow Dock, Sar-
saparilla, Juniper Iron, Buchu. Celery and
Calisaya, each of which have separate and dis
tinct virtue, but when blended In single
compound excel all other remedies In giving

visitor climbed into the cars, to test
Billy's affection, he said:
''Billy, have taken liking to you |;

it, if you wanted to sell it," replied the
shocked uncle.

what I'll do, uncle. Instead of a silver
dollar, you can throw in your picture
for twenty-five cents, and you can pay
me the other seventy-five cents in cash,

creditor for fifty cents, and promise to
