with torturlng, disiigurlng eczemas, and
every species of itching, burning, bleed
ing, scaly, crusted, pimply, and blotchy
skin and scalp diseases are relieved in
the majority OF cases by a single appli-
cation, and speedily, permanently, and
economically cured by the CUTIcURA
REMEDIES when the best physicians,
hospitals, and all other remedies fail,
To those who have suffered long and
hopelessly, and who have lost faith in
doctors, medicines and ell things human,
the CUTIcARA REMEDIES appeal with a
force never before realized in the history
OF medicine. Every hope, every ex-
pectation awakened by them, has been
more than fulfilled. Their success has
excited the wouder and admiration of
physicians and druggists, familiar with
the marvellous cures daily effected by
them. They have friends in every quar-
ter Of the civilized world. People in
every walk OF life believe in them, use
them, and recommend them. They are
in truth the greatest skin cures, blood
purifiers, and humor remedies of modern
times. Sale greater than the combined
sales Of all other skin ard blood rene
dies. Sold throughout the world.

A Spelling Bee.

From the Spectator.
You say that you can SPELL sir, then be
good enough to tell sir,
How you spell me parallel sir, syn
thesis" and ''semaphore,"
And perhaps you will try "ecstatic'' and
syncatigorematic,"
'Homiletic" and "hepatic," with an ex-
ira dozen more.
Can you spell "chryseephantine," peri
phrastic" and "Levantine"
Or the simple ''adamantine' and the
po; ysndeton"'
Can you tackle "anchyioSis," can YOU spell
anadiplosis,"
"Enthymeme.' "hypotiposis?. If you can
you're getting on.
Such little words as "grieving," gallimau-
fry and "deceiving,'
Oh, there's really no believing what mis-
takes you sometimes see,
'Pycnostile," ''paroxysmal," "caryatides"
and "charismai,"
Words like these. it's really dismal when
they're misspelt at bee"
So you'd better learn "enclitic;;" can you
conquer "analytic?"
With ''torentic' and 'mephitic" and a
''penthemerar pause;
And there's "prestidigitation," "homocer-
cal" "cacchination,"
Oh, it's quite an education to learn ortho-
graphic laws!
Some long words anatomic, have a sound
that's rather comic,
And for verses palindromic would be
simply most absurd.
There's the shorter ''peroneus" and "pa;ato-
pharyngeus."
"Sterno-cleido- m mastoideus;" could you
choose a simpler word?
.'Hydrostatic." 'fridescent." aromatic, -
"adolescent,"
"Engmatic." evanescent;" these are
| easy words, you see!
"Manducation," "macaronic," "percola-
/ tion." "geoponic.'
"Annuation," "antiphonic;" there's a
merry spelling bee!
