SIeepIess Nights Of
Mother.
CURED BY cUTIcURA
Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar

Writes Mother.

"I herewith write out in full the be-
ginning and end Of that terrible disease,
eczema, which caused my babe untold
suffering and myself many sleepless
nights.
my babe was born seemingly fair,
healthy child. but when she was three
weeks old . swelling appeared on tho
back Of her head. and in course Of time
broke. It did not heal but grew worse.
and the sore spread from the size of .
dime to that Of . dollar. I used all
kinds Of remedies that conld think Of.
but nothing seemed to help; in fact, 1t
grew worse. Her hair fell out where
the sore was, and feared 1t would never
grow again. It continued until my aged
2ather came on Q visit, and when ho
saw the baby he told me to get Cuti-
cnra Soap and Ointment right away.
ITO please him did 90, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over 1t, and
to-day she has nice head Of hair, her
skin Il - fair - lily, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, and
Il 10 over eight months and no sign OF

TELEPHONES IN A CHURCH.

Bridgeport (Conn.) Pastor's Way to
 Make the Deaf Hear Him.
 The Rev. Royal Wilkins Raymond, pastor of the Stratford Methodist Epis. copaI church in Bridgepov Conn, and his paVishioners are greatly pleasedtby a system of telephony installed in the church whereby the tones of the pas tors voice are carried to deaf mem bers of his congregation, says the New York Herald.
 Although the idea is still in the na- ture of an experiment, there is little. doubt that the telephones will be per manently placed in the pews of any ot the congregation who are now unable to hear the sermons or to follow the service,
 "For some tinle," said the pastor, T have noticed that certain members of my congregation had difficulty in fol- lowing the service owing to their in ability to hear distinctly. I tried chang ing my tones, altering the pitch and using various other vocal methods, but 1t proved difficult and strain upon my voice.
 ''I saw the little office telephones which are in many buildings, and, Knowing thatap persons who are ordina- rily quite deaf can frequently hear by the aid of telephones, decided to try them in my church. The receiver of an ordinary office phone was considerably enlarged, and a mouthptece like a meg aphone was placed in front of 1t. From that wires were run to receivers in four of the pews. Two of the receivers had the head attachments, and two had handles, an. arrangement making them Somewhat resemble a lorgnette. The plan has been tried at only one service, and so of course 1t cannot be told exactly how it will succeed. was pleased to notice that one of my parish toner's who generally has difficulty in hearing when aided by an ear trumpet easily followed the service with the help of the telephone.
 'tAs the arrangement is not toy, but is designed to help afflicted persons in Joining in our service, 1t is in nowise out of place as "a part of the church furniture. In speaking find can use my ordinary tones, which are repro duced quite clearly in the receivers. Several os my parishioners have al- ready asked to have the wires extend cd to their pews. shall try the phones for a few more services, and if they are satisfactory they will be made per g,5anAy1f ps 4

DIVE FOR A LOST WHALE.

Engineer Went Down Twelve Times
 After Huge Mammal.
 The schooner Charles EFensen, which left San Francisco last spring ostensi- bly for a whaling cruise, but really to trade for furs, recently arrived at that port, says the St. Louis Republic.
 During her eight months cruise she captured only one whale, which pro- duced 2,200 pounds of bone. The furs gathered by trading were sent down some time ago. Another big whale was killed, but on account of the ice 1t was lost. The mammal, which was the biggest those on board had ever seen, came up through one of the holes in the ice, and the crew killed it. Before it could be fastened 1t sank.
 The crews of the schooners Olga and Charles Hensen, both vessels being op- erated by the same concern, were un- willing to give up such a prize, and Chief Engineer Porter of the Olga, equipped in diving suit, offered to go down and secure the whale. He de scended to the bottom of the Arctic ocean twelve times and fastened hooks on the whale.
 But when it came to hoisting 1t to the surface it was found to be an inn possibility on account of the ice. The diver found the whale under shelf of ice, and that ice was forty-t1ve feet in thickness. The crews exploded 500 pounds of powder in an effort to break the ice. After trying for eight days they were compelled to give up.

:. Set Night bx . Lunatic.

Professor William Bacon Bailey, who has published in the Yale Review the most thorough study of suicide that has yet been made, had occasion in the course of his researches to visit num- Der of insane asylums. There he would question such inmates as had attempt ed or had threatened to attempt to kill themselves.
 Professor Bailey spent certain aft ernoon with lunatic who had thrice tried suicide. He had long and tn- teresting talk with this man. Finally looking at a clock on the mantel and noting the lateness Of the hour he was amazed.
 'Ts that clock right ?'' he asked.
