tnat mis- own inclination is mani

days of which Mr. Eaton writes, il
was the custom for young ministers
TO consult their presiding elders before
taking WIFE Once during a camp
meeting in eastern Maine, q young
minister approached the presiding el-
der and said he wished to be married.
Whom do you propose TO marrya"
asked the elder. WELL" said the
young man, ''the Lord has made
known to me very clearly that /
should marry sister Mary Turner" Il
know her WE'LL" said the elder; "she
is line girl. will SEQ you again be-
fore the meeting closes" During the
week four other young ministers con-
suited the presiding elder on the sub
ject of marriage. Each of them gave
the name of the young woman to
whom he proposed to offer himself
They had all prayed over the matter a
great deal, and each was certain that
it was Gods desire that he should
marry the person named Neither OF
the FIVE young men knew that any
one else had consulted the elder on
that subject. On the last day of the
camp meeting, at noon, the elder call
ed the five young ministers to his tent
to receive his opinion. He said:
Now, brethren, 1t may be the will of
God for you to marry, but IL is not his
will that FIVE Methodist ministers
should marry that little sister Mary
Turner. "-Lewiston Journal.

Facts About Fish.

Inc light has a great deal TO do with
the co.or OF fish. ll-mouthed black
bass caught out Of holes six or eigbt
leet deep are dark in color. On beIno
p!aceI in the aquarium they change to
light mottled green. The channel
catfish, contrary as usual, come out of
the river pale greenish blue. After
'hey nave been exposed to the light of
the aquarium they turn to the color of
blue black velvet. The famed fish of
the Mammoth Cave show every indica-
ncn OF being catfish for generations re-
moved from all light. They have no
color at al, their bodies being
transparent. Small -mouthed black bass
are by all means the best aquarium pets.
BESIDES being the most lively and intel
hSent, they are the most hardy. The
large -mouthed bass makes his home i,
quiet ponds, and ne is not fitted for the
herce contests of aquarium life. He ia
easily wounded and his injuries usually
prove fatal. The small mouthed bas,
easily recovers from being caught in the
upper or lower lip with hook. A
similar wound on catfish gene rally
testers and often kills. The earn is a
pretty good fellow. In tn, hustle for
food he generally gets left. The reason |
lie does not feel on minnows in his
natural state is not, as is generally sup
posed, because he does not like them.
)ut for the more substantial reason that
lie cannot catch them.

CUTICURA REMEDIES.
Torturing, ,Disfiguring Skin Diseases

A minister and his little boy cured OF an OBJ
7 stinate skin Disease by the CutIcura
Remedies. Praises them everywhere
In the pulpit, home, and in the street.
For about thirteen years have been troubled
with eczema or some other cutaneous disease
which all remedies failed to euro. Hearing of
the CuTIcuRA REMEDIES resolved to give them
trial, and purchased one bottle of CurcuRA
REsoLvENT, one box Of CuTIcuRA and one cake
CUTTcuRA SOAP followed the directions care
fully. and it affords me much pleasure to say
that before using two boxes of tho CurIcURA,
four cakes OF CuTIcURA SOAR, and one bottle Of
CUrIcuRA REsoLvEET, was entirely cured.
In addition to my own case, my baby boy,
then about hve months old, was suffering with
what supposed 10 be the same disease as mine
10 such an extent that his head was coated over
with a solid scah from which there was con-
stant fiow Of pus which was sickening 10 look
upon, besides two largo tumorke kernels on
the back Of his head. Thanks to you and your
wonderful CurIcuRA REMEDIES his scalp is per-
fectly well, and the kernels have been scattered
30 that there is only one little place by his left
ear, and that is healing nicely. Instead of
coating OF soabs he has fine coat OF hair, much
better than that which was destroyed by the
disease, would that the whole world OF suffer
crs from skin and blood diseases knew the value
Of your CurIouRA REMEDIES as do.
The CUTIouRA Soar and CUTIcuRA REsoLvxrr
arc each worth ten times the price at which
they are sold have never used any other toilet
soap In my house since bought tho nrst cake
Of your CuTIcuRA Soar. Iwould be lnhuman as
