Henrik Ibsen, the Norwegian au-

ity. He always carries a little toilet
case containing a looking glass and
comb, which are attached to the
lining of his gray hat. He will often
remove his hat to look into the mir
ror to see how his hair is lying. If
it is not rough enough to suit his
fancy he uses the comb to give it the
requisite tangle.

AZ wouldn't have believed that
my baby would have been cured by
little thing like that. Not all of a
sudden, mind you. Little by little,
but so surely. Charlie and 1 both
got more peace by day, and more
sleep by night. The sores sort Of
dried up and went away. l shall
never forget one blessed night when
went to bed with Charlie beside
me, as soon as got the supper
dishes out of the way and the older
children undressed; when 1 woke

the first time in six months 1 had
slept through the night without q
break.

White Bread Brewis.

Heat a pint of milk in double boil

wh<at bread to absorb all the milk;
season with little butter and salt;

Smoking Among the Ancients.

The frequency With which old pipes
made of clay, wood and metal have
been found in England, Ireland, Ger
many, Switzerland and France, has
led archaeologists to the belief that
the ancients may have smoked. The
belief receives some color from pas
sages in ancient authors. Herodotus
remarks that the inhabitants of the
Aroxes islands, supposed to be the
modern Volga, ''were wont to throw
piles of fruit on a fire and then to
inhale the vapor, with the result that
theg became as drunk as ever the
Greeks became after drinking wine.
and the more fruit they threw on the
fire the more drunk they became -
Pomponius Mela talks in similar
strain of certain Thracian tribes.
Pliny asserts that the vapor of plants
was used to cure diseases, and says
that in some instances it was even
inhaled through a tube.-Scientific

81 hired a girl to mind the chill
dren and to do whatever else she
could. l couldn't stay in bed long.
Sick as l was, it was easier for me
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So
got up after few days, and let
the girl go. 1 had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but 1 paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began to
pick and scratch himself. He was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to any of the others. Charlie was fret
full and cross, but as he was cutting
teeth, l didn't think much of that.
Even when rash broke out on his
face l wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that is quite
common with teething babies. Sew
eral of my others had it when little,
and 1 thought nothing about it.
"But the rash on Charles poor
little face spread t. his neck, chest,
and back. 1 had lever seen any
thing quite like it before. The skin
rose in little Jumps, and matter
came out. My baby's skin was hot,
and how he did suffer He wouldn't
eat, and night after night 1 walked
the floor with him, weak as 1 was.
Often I had to stop because 1 felt
faint and my back throbbed with
pain. But the worst pain of all was
to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores.
~ believed he had caught some
disease from the girl, but some of
the neighbors said he had eczema,
and that is not catching, they told
me. Yes, gave him medicine, and
put salves and things on him. l
don't think they were all useless.
Once in while the itching seemed
to let up a bit, but there was not
much change for the better until a
lady across the street asked me why
l didn't try the Cuticura Remedies.
1 told her l had no faith in those
things you read about in the papers.
She said she didn't want me to go
on faith nor even to spend any
money at first. She gave me some
Cuticura Ointment Il think the
box was about half full - and a
