A Frolicsome Pheasant.

One season the keeper Of an English
park made pet OF young cock,
which became so completely tanned that
even after taking up his abode in the
cover he would, at the familiar call,
cautiously emerge, compare the general
appearance OF the man with the voice
and. being satisfied as to his identity.
walk quickly toward him ready for the
usual frollc. The keeper would initiate
that peculiar whlrring sound OF the
bird and make a sldewise lunge. At
the same time the young pheasant
would raise his wings and dart for
ward and backward before his ad-
vancing and retreating opponent and,
watching his chance, dive at the keep
er's hat and knock 1t upon the ground,
then. turning swiftly, make for the COW
er, his vanishing figure presenting a
ridiculous appearance Of inward and
stifed laughter.
This same cock. which was rather re-
markable for the unusual expanse Of
white round his neck, afforded the
keeper much amusement one day In
conversation with the cOwman. who
wanted to know II all that white was

The agonizing itching and burning Of

scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss Of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled
head; the facial Disagreement, rs in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering Of infants and the anxiety of
WORKOUT parents, as In milk crust, tet-
ter and salt rheum, all demand a rem
edy of almost superhuman virtues to
successfully cope with them. That
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are
such stands proven beyond all doubt.
No statement is made regarding them
that is not justified by the strongest
evidence. The purity and sweetness,
the power TO afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy, have made them the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cutlcle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticnra Oint-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation.
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, in the severer forms, take
Cuticura ResOlvent Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set is often
sufficient to cure the most torturng,
disfguring and humiiating skin, scalp
and blood humours, with loss Of hair,
when all else fails.
