WOMANLY CONVERSATION.

Keep watch on your words, my sisters,
For words are wonderful things.
They are sweet, like the bees fresh honey;
Like the bees, they have terrible stings.
They can bless like the warm, glad sun
shine
And brighten a lonely life.
They can crt in the strife of anger
Like an open two-edged knife.
Let them pass through vou., lips unchal-
lenged,
II their e-Tand is true and kind
II they come to support the weary,
TO comfort and help the biinJ.
If bitter, reyengeful spirit
Prompt the WORDS, let them be unsaid.
They may flash through brain like light
ming,
OF fall on the hears like lead.
Keen Them back, If they're cold and cruel,
Uader bar and luck and seal.
The wounds they make, ny sisters,
Are always slow to heal.
tod guard your lips, and ever,
From tire of your early youth,
May The words that you dsiiy utter
Be the " ords OF beautiful truth.

What is EczenaP

It is an agony of agonies.
A torture of tortures.
1t is an itching and burning Of the
skin almost beyond endurance.
1t is thousands of pin-headed YES
icles filled with an acrid fluid, ever
forming, ever bursting, ever flowing
upon the raw excoriated skin.
No part of the human skin IS
exempt.
1t tortures, disfigures and hunil-
iafes more than all other skin diseases
combined.
Tender babies are among its most
numerous victims.
They are often born with it.
Sleep and rest are out of the
question.
Most remedies and the best ply
sicians generally fail, even to relieve.
If CUTICURA did no more than
cure Eczema, it would be entitled to
the gratitude of mankind.
1t not only cures but
A single application is often sufi-
Gent to afford instant relief, permit
rest and sleep, and point to a speedy
cure.
CUTIcURA works wonders because
it is the most wonderful skin cure of
modern times.

were from Boston, but mainly be-
cause WiIbelmina had made there
some special purchases for her new
adventure.
| She proposed to sail from Christi
ania from Hull, in the middle of the
month, and already the papers had
interviewed her, and "Miss Wilhel-
nina Perks, the Female Franklin
by One Who Knows Her." appeared
10 nearly every paper that you pick

They had all been to Lords, and
DR.. Frazer and his cousin, Mrs. Wal

Young DR.. Frazer pressed the

just pleasant now TO even to talk of
foes of ice and miles of untracked

"Did you say the boat was ready,

As near ready as doesn't mat

men are ready, the stores are ready
and when 1 get to Christiania shall
only have fortnight's work to do.
And in two or three years you know,

She looked at her sweetheart with
her eyes bright with enthusiasm.
Say, Frank, we'll be married at
the Abbey, if the trick comes off,"
All the time young DR.. Frazer
looked thougLtfully out of the wiz
dow.
" If you won't say another word
about it," he remarked. : If you'll
just let me say this J"
"Go, on, DEAR" said Miss Perks.
She and Mrs. Waldershare rose as
she spoke, and the men rose, too.
"That I'd give everything, every
thing that I possess in the world,'
said Frazer, still looking hard out of
the window, "if it would only induce
you to give it up"
She came to him.
My dear, boy" she said, ''that
can't be; but you're Just the sweet
est fellow to say SO, and-and shall
think of you dreadfully."
Mrs. Waldershire had scrubbed
furtivsly note on the menu which

fellow.
"Before / forget it, Frank" said
the little woman, " is this the right
way to spell compete aux fruits I"
Under her item was her penciled
message:
sMeet me in half an hour in the

that is right
The two men had their smoke and
their coffee, and at the appointed
time Frazer threw away his cigar,
and, leaving old Mr.. Perks, went In
to the reading
He found Mrs. Waldershare there
and for FIVE minutes their heads
were very close together. They talk

Presently they changed their
seats and sat behind screen in the
corner near the window. Then Mrs.
