Mo DISEASE has ever presented so many
Y peculiarities as LaGrippe. No disease
leaves its victims so debilitated, useless,
sleepless, nerveless, as LaGrippe.

OF LaGrippe, the last one attacking my ner-
Vous system with such severity that my life

than two months except by the use Of mar

weakness, agoniZing bodily pain and the
fact that was hourly growing weaker.

was a sufferer for eight years from that
most distressing of all diseases, Eczema, but
can now say truIhfully that l am entirely
cured. l tried some of the best physicians
in the country, but they did me little good.
The palms of my hands were covered, and
would become intiamed; little white blisters
at first would appear, then they would peel
of, leaving red, smooth surface which would
burn like fire and itch; well, there is no name
for it. On the inside of the upper part of
both my limbs, great red blotches not unlike
hives would appear, and as soon as became
warm, the burning and itching would begin.
Night after night would lie awake all night
and scratch, and almost go wild. 1 heard of
CUTICURA remedies, got a box of CUTICURA
(ointment), a bottle of CUTICURA REsoLvENT
(blood purifier), and gave them a thorough
trial, and after a few applications l noticed

sent VI Their Superiors.
No German officer can marry without
the consent Of his colonel, according tc
Poultney Bigelow in "The Borderland
Of Car and Kaiser" and this consent
a be obtained only after a careful in.
quiry into all the circumstances sur.
rounding the proposed alliance. First,
is the young lady suitable for associa-
ton with the wives of the other officers:
Second, will the bridegroom be able to
live respectfully and bring up his fam
lily? Third, are his means, or those of
his wife, invested in proper securities.
SO that he is not liable to be expelled by
reason of bankruptcy? The extraordi-
nary social advantages enjoyed by the
German officer and the pecuniary re.
sponsibility growing naturally from
such advantages make his small pay,
which amounts only to about 81 a day
in case Of a first lieutenant, appear oven
smaller than it is.
An American lady who had been
spending a winter in Dresden told MI.
Bigelow that all the bachelors of the
garrison were furnished with a list Of
manageable women, each name orna-
mented with the property she might be
expected to inherit. This no doubt was
a mistake on her part, but it is a very
common one. German officers stationed
in desirable towns are very apt to get
into debt and have to choose between
leaving the army in disgrace or marry
ing q rich girl.
Mr.. Bigelow adds: From my own
experience in Germany the officers would
appear to have married for love and to
be happy in consequence, " and yet 1.-The
number Of those who get into debt and
fail to secure a rich wife is considerable,
although it makes no particular ripple
in the surface. Such men simply disap-
pear and turn up sooner or later in
America, where they take employment as
coachmen. walters, teachers or instruct
ors in riding schools. The change of
life is very violent and is adopted only
AS preferable to suicide"

People Who Vanish,

Among the periodic waves which
strike our great centers there is none so
strange as that of mysterious disappear
ances. Such a wave selects it's victims
from all classes, ages. Men, women and
children are impartially it's prey. Some
times h absentees return in a dazed
condition unable to tell of their where
abouts. Others present a mystery dark
or still, for they never return and are
no more heard of. Foul play, "a crazed
fever for wandering, premeditated
flight, are called to account as causes,
but some of these mysteries have neither
apparent cause nor end. 1t is q queer
and weird feature Of our modern life
that these mysterious disappearance can
SO easily take place and their subjects
be neither traced nor recovered in spite
OF our crowded civilization. But per-
haps it is because of it. - Baltimore

few years later they began to use what
was called the continental pronuncia-

accordingly and announced: mo; there

SOCIETY,".

I looked and saw q splendid pageantry
OF beautiful women and Of lordly men
Taking their pleasure in a fiowery plain
Where peoples and the red anemone
And many another leaf of cramoisy
Flickered about their feet and gave their
stain
To heels OF iron or satin. and the grain
OF silken garments floating far and free
As in the dance they wove themselves or
strayed
By twos together or lightly smiled and
bowed
Or courtsied to each other or else played
At games Of mirth and pastime. unafraid
70 In their delight, and all so high and proud
They seemed scarce OF the earth wherein
they trod.
I looked again and saw that lowery space
Stirring, as IL alive, beneath the tread
That rested now upon an old mans head
And now upon a baby's gasping face
Or mothers bosom or the rounding grace
OF q girls throat, and what had seemed the
red
OF flowers was blood in gouts and gushes shed
From hearts that broke under that frolic pace,
And now and then from out the dreadful floor
An arm or brow was lifted from the rest,
AS If to strike in madness or implore
For mercy, and anon some suffering breast
Heaved from the mass and sank, and as before
The jewellers above them thronged and
pressed.

eystem Of re fined Torture That Kills In
Three Years.
Though the death penalty was prac-
ideally abolished in Belgium over 80
years ago, the punishment of those con-
none has yet been able to endure it more
than three years. Another curious thing
is that little Belgium until recently had
two public executioners, while but one
was sufficient for her vaster neighbor,
Trance-Deibler, otherwise known as
IN. dc Paris" The king of the
Belgians recently ordered the retire
ment on a pension of 1887 francs of the
executor of high works" (as he is
euphoniously termed), who was sta
toned at Liege. The executioner at
Brussels still holds his place.
The duties of public executioner in
Belgium are singular, but not arduous.
The courts still continue to sentence
malefactors to death, but the guillotine
has been replaced by a scaffold on which
is posted a copy Of the sentence. Much
ceremony is observed in affixing this
document. A troop of gendarmes, with
their imposing helmets plumed with
horsehair, is drawn up about the place
Of execution, which they gravely guard
with sabers drawn, while the red robod
executioner mounts the steps, nails up
the decree of the court and after a mo-
lnent takes it down again.
But the condemned man might more
mercifully have persisted by the AK or
rope. He is placed in a dungeon so
constructed that from the moment he
enters it he will never hear the sound
Of human voices nor see a living being.
His food is passed through a sliding
panel in the door of his cell.
Not m of these prisoners has been
able to survive this confinement more
than three years. The authorities have
striven in vain to prolong their lives by
varying their food as much as possible,
but those who are moderately or lightly
nourished gradually waste away, while
those who are generously fed go mad

a carpenter ten seconds to pick up a
nail, and that his time is worth 80 cents
an hour, remarks that the recovery of
the nail he has dropped would cost .OS3

.0077 cents-that is, it would not pay
to pick up ten nails if it took ten Sec

Ordinary mon who are not very quick

DRESSING LIKE WOMEN.
A Time When Feminine Styles Were Pre-
ferred by Men.

"a III W Ter HILL Styles we're U
ferred by Men.
In point of fact, the early medieval
man and woman looked as much alike as
the fin de steele wheelman and his BIZ
cycle girl. Take the king and queen in
q pack of cards. They are early media
val. Notice the surprising similarity
in their costumes-the same wide robes
and angular folds, the same stained
glass stiffness. Novices at cards may be
excused for being at a loss sometimes,
at least until they have learned to look
for the kings beard.
With the wane of the age of chivalry
there came a singular exaggeration in
the toilet of men. They deliberately
initiated the women. They allowed
their hair to grow long, cultivated curls
by the hot irons and ointments and ac-
tually wore chaplets, like diadems, to
curb their flowing locks. In the texture
and color of their garments they showed
the anne effeminacy, for they began to
affect brilliant reds and blues and to
wear costly trimmings and jewelry.
This, too, was the age Of the signing,
Walllng loVer, falntlng at his mistress
frown. Every knight who could write
or sing posed as a minstrel and re-
hearsed his love affairs. At every gath
ering of the nobility there was a child
ish prattle of love, cloying and monoto
nous for very sweetness. The sexes
seemed to have changed places. 1t was
the lover who was a shy wallfower,
who blushed and went about woeful
and woe worn from his secret passion.
AS we look over the poems of the min
nesingers, those bards of love, the lady
seems always unapproachable, listening
with contemptuous mien to the gentle
mans gentle advances. While he sue
cumbs to nervous exhaustion she goes
about her business perfectly healthy,

her power.-W. d. McCracken in Lip
