Lives Of Suffering and
Sorrow AVerted
And Happiness and Prosperity
Assured by
CutiCuraS0ap, Ointmentand Pills
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, disfguring hu-
mours of the skin, scalp and blood, be-
comes an object Of the most tender So
licitude, not only because of its suffer-
ing, but because Of the dreadful fear
that the disfguration is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence it becomes the duty of
mothers of such afflicted children to ac-
quaint themselves with the best, the
puTest and most elective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap to
cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and
scales, gentle applications of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and mild doses of Cuticura Resolyent
Pills, TO cool the blood in the severer
cases, are all that can be desired for the
alleyiation of the suffering of skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort of worn-out parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted By Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and beautifying the
skin. for cleansing the scalp Of crusts,
scales and dandruf, and the stopping
Of falling hair, for softening, whitening
aud soothing red, rough and sore hands,
for baby rashes, itchings and chatlngs,
in the form of washes for annoying
irritatioDs and infiammations, and for
many sanative. antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.

pleased the powers that Mexico should be
an empire. So, like the TEMPER of old,
they took Macmillan. up on an exceed
ingly high mountain, showed him that
kingdom and all the glories thereof, and
promised all these will Itgive unto thee. .
Fate's last most exquisite touch of
irony in the situation was, that had they
continued the idyllic, unpretentious life
at Miramar, the crown Of all the Aus
trians would have come to them through
the suicide in 1889 of Maximilian's
nephew, Crown Prince Rudolph, which
would have made Ferdinand the next
heir had he then been living.
Carlotta, as empress of q country
which wished to be a republic, played her
losing game bravely, and even brilliant
ly. In magnifcence Of her court, in per-
sonal extravaganza, she was almost a
second Eugene. She was sincerely in
terested in her people, gave Macmillan
sage counsel in state matters, restored
the semi-ruined Chapultepec, palace of
the Aztec kings, and rebuilt the cele-
brated ''Montezuma BATH"
When the climax of the Inflated Mex
lean empire came. Macmillan was i'll
with fever, and his presence at the seat
of trouble was imperative. The empress
undertook to return to Europe to invoke
aid Of Napoleon ILL.,, and of the pope. But
Napoleon, who had gotten them into this
predicament, was not going to help them
out. Then it was that the first mad
symptoms manifested themselves. She
left Napoleon in despair, and arriving at
the Grand hotel in Paris, she had an at
tack Of insanity.
In many quarters in Mexico. to-day a
more sinister cause for her mental break
down is implicitly believed in. 1t is as
serted that decoction of the ''loco
root" which produces insanity, was Sc
cretly introduced into her food by some
disaffected subject. But whatever the
cause Of her madness, it has never left
! her. Reports of her death were sent to
her husband shortly before his own exc
cution, thus sparing him one torment.
| The ex-empress has been confined for
many years in the Chateau de Bonchat,
near Brussels. For years she has made
pathetic pretense of holding court, order
ing the pictures taken down from the
walls, that she might give them to her
attendants-who would quietly replace
them-and excited by all visitors save
her sister-in-law, the late Queen Henri

of happiness. That was when she was
told of the death Of Napoleon III.
