The Only Cure.

Eczema is more than a skin disease,
and no skin remedies can cure it. The
doctors are unable to effect cure, and
their mineral mixtures are damaging
to the most powerful constitution. The
whole trouble is in the blood, and
Swift's Specific is the only remedy
which can reach such deep-seated blood
diseases.

notA Born in March, 1884, and Died in
October. lS436.

October, 1895.
one Of the most extraordinary par
ehels in chronology is the almost ex-
act coincidence of the time spent in
the world by two men who had 80 much
to DO with the molding Of the literature
sno art of their day n George du Maui
rter aud William Morris, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. Du Maurier,
the elder of the two, was born exactly
16 days before Morris, on March 6, 1884,
and he died but four days otter him;
20 that these two great men, who lived
more than 62 years, were on the earth
for exactly the same time, with the ex-
cepton of less than three weeks, both
being born. in March, 1884 and dying
in October, 1896. Similarly, both Sir
John Millais nnd the archbishop of
Canterbury, who died within month
or two of each other, were born in 1890.
IT is one of the most striking events
in the long history of the archbishops
OF canterbury that the late archbishop,
who was one of Mr.. Gladstone's appoiat-
ments and afterward diverged from
him in political opinions, should have
been stricken while sitting in the
squire's pew of his old friend at Ha-
warden. 1t is a most merciful thing
that Mr.. Gladstone did not happen to
be in church. To man OF his years
the shock must have been most danger
Gus. What an archbishop of Canter'
bury Mr.. Gladstone would have made
himself! He would have rivaled even
Dunstan or Beckett and not improbably
proved the greatest prelate of them
all
