II went this afternoon )" said a woman
recently, "to reception aud funeral, and,
really, looking back at the two events. they
have a curious similarity. The funeral was
that of a dear old lady, who has lived her
allotted time, a beautiful life, full of good
works and loving kindness. The end came
naturally and she went to meet her reward.
Her family, who loved her fondly, seem TO
regard her going as happiness for her and
only tender sorrow for themselves to miss
her presence.
To-day when | went to the house the
members OF the family were standing, I'M
bonneted and without the usual garments
of mourning, in the parlor, near the
entrance door. They greeted quietly the
friends who came. and spoke without tears
of her who lay dead in the room beyond.
Such as wished walked on ard looked for
the last time on the placid face in it's halo
of flowers. Presently a silence fell. a
clergyman stood up and there were few
hopeful and comforting remarks, q prayer,
and an almost triumphant song. Then l
pressed my friends hands again, said good
by cheerfuly, and. in a strangely exalted
frame of mind, went out from the house of
death. In twenty minutes l was at the re-
ception, aud. as | said, there was q SINH
larity between the two affAirs-Indeed, the
funeral seemed to mo to have in it more Of
q living touch than the reception"

The heart and personal magnetism of
Paderewssfs playing are, perhaps. best
evidenced in his power to charm children
through it, says the New York Times. A
boy OF II, which is of all ages the least im-
questionable, recently wrote to a friend. an
other boy, after hearing the great pianist:
MAYBE you think he didn't make the old
piano talk" "And in Buffalo the other day
when he played" said a woman, several
children had been brought by their mothers
from neighboring towns TO listen to his
music They returned to the hotel before
he did, and as l went up the stairs | heard
them talking enthusiastically of him and
planning 20 wait for him. Curious to see
what they would do. l waited, too.
Presently Paderewski came in with sew
eral others. and the children, a group of
boys and girls, gathered at the foot of the
staircase. As he approached they suddenly
broke into an involuntary cheer several
times repeated. The player stopped, evil
IDENTIFY surprised and pleased, and then went
among them and made each a graceful sal
utation and separate acknow ledgment be-
fore he bowed himself away"

What is Eczema?
1t is an agony of agonies.
A torture of tortures.

n t0ltLi( vi lOlLAiSos
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.
It tortures, disfigures and humil-
iates 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.

A single application is often suf1i-
