After Doctors and
Hospitals Failed.

Here is another Of those remarkable
cures of torturing, disfguring skin hu-

Soap, after physicians, hospitals and all

side Of my face and had reached my
eye. I had two or three doctors pre-
scribe without any relief. They said
my disease was Epithelioma. was
then advised to 60 to one of our hos
pitals, which I did, taking their treat
ment for some time. I had given up all
hope when my husband asked me to try
the Cuticura Remedies. My face being
in such very bad state, I used the
Cuticura Soap with luke-warm water
and small silk sponge and then applied
the Cuticura Ointment. ltook one tea
spoonful of the Resolvent four times 8
day. They acted like charm, and in
one weeks time my face was cured en-

GIVES HIS PROOFS.
Hon. T. z. Watson Makes Reply to
Hon. Grover Cleveland.
zrAKzs OUT A vERY CLEAR CASE.
Saws He Made His Charges on
Statements Made in q Book
Written by Fred Douglass
Nine Years Ago.

Representative BARTLETT, OF Georgia,
has received the following letter from
Grover Cleveland, blistering Thomas
e. Watson for his charges concerning
Clevelands attitude on the negro ques-
tion:
PRINCETON, March 4, 1904.
TO Hon. Chas. L. BARTLETT, Washing
ton, D. Q.
NV Dear Mr.. Bartlett-I have re-
ceived a number Of inquiries similar
to yours touching my invitation OF
Fred Douglas to,a wedding reception
and signing, while governor of New
York, of a bill providing for mixed
schools. + do not suppose that MI.
Thomas e. Watson believed, or had
any reason to believe, either Of the
allegations when he made them. At
any rate. they are both utterly and
absolutely false. I cannot afford to
devote a great deal Of time to deny
ing such foolish tales. shall, there
fore, attempt to cover every phase of
the subject now for all. 1t so hap
pens that have never in my official
positions, either when sleeping or
waking, alive or dead, on my head or
on my heels, dined, lunched or supped
or invited to wedding reception any
colored man, woman or child. If,
however, I had desired to do any OF
these things, neither the fear OF Mr..
Watson or any one else would have
prevented me. When was governor
Of New York a movement was made
in the legislature to abolish seperate
colored schools ip New York city. l
opposed this measure and it failed. L
do not find that I interposed a veto
and I have forgotten the course the
matter took, burt l know that what
ever I did was In favor OF maintain
ing separate colored schools instead OF
having them mixed.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) GROVER CLEVELAND.

words, Fred says, in effect, that
Southern ladies and gentlemen were
present and were compelled to witness
in silence the social triumph OF him.

Oh, how full the cup Of Fred's JOY
must have been. And what a sly
CLEAN of victorious insolence there
must have been in the negr0's eyes as
be looked at the late "slave-owners" to
whom Mr.. Cleveland was giving his
''raanly de6ance!"
That spirit is shown in his book,
and have no doubt it was shown or
his countenance in those blissful
hours when he and MRS. Douglass
were being treated just as the other
gentlemen and ladies" were treated In
the white house.
Heaping up his gratitude an6 bis
praise, the negro goes on to say (page
648) that the Democrats Of the South
tlercely and bitterly reproached MIR.
Cleveland for his social recognition of
Douglass aud wife, but that he (Cleve-
land} never faltered or fiinched," and
continued to invite Mrs. Douglass
and myself and "often wrote the i'll
vitations with his own hand"
Then, to show concluslyely what
Douglass understood by Cleveland's
conduct, he adds:
Among my friends in Europe a fact
like this will excite no comment.
There color does not decide the civil
and social position Of man"
Now flask all impartial, intelligent
men if these extracts from Douglass
book do not prove thst he undertood
Grover Cleveland to have defed she
malignant prejudice Of Southern
Democrats. by treating him and bis
white wife as social equals?
II it does not mean that, what in
the name Of common sense does 1t
mean?
Douglass alludes to the newspaper
criticisms which were leVeled at CleVe'
land because Of that very thing.
Did not Cleveland see them? If he
did not, where were his eyes? II he

VARIOUS KINDS OF DAYS.
Word Said to Have No Real Meaning
Without Defining Adjective.

Word Said to Have No Real Meaning
Without Defining Adjective.
Five kinds of day are recognized.
and it has been said that the word
"day" has no real meaning without an
adjective defining what kind of day
Is meant There is civil day, tho
astronomical day, the apparent solar
day, the mean solar day, and the sid
ereal day. The civil day begins at the
midnight preceding mean noon, and
consists of twenty.four hours counted
after twelve o'clock; the astronomical
day begins twelve hours after the civil
day, or at the mean noon of the cor
responding civil day. These hours
are reckoned from 0 to "a. 1t will be
seen. therefore, that while 10hr
12min., January 1st astronomical time,
is also 10hr. 12min. January list civil
time, yet 22hr. 12min., January 1st as
Economical time, is also 1Ohr. 12min.
a. M, January End civil time. There
are many anomalies growing out of
this use of the civil day, and there are
many arguments in favor of using the
astronomical day. 1t is one of tho
reforms which undoubtedly will come
some time.

 An often quoted rule reads: 'Never stand when you can sit ~ and never sit when you can lie down. It is meant for the tired houseworker above all women. Perhaps you find no time, to lie down ex- cept when night comes. There are very few women, however, who can honestly say this. Almost every one can take at least fifteen minutes in the middle of the day, when the lunch dishes are put away for a quiet rest fiat on the back. If you think there are no such fifteen minutes to spare, hunt for them. I am willing to guarantee that you will make the time up in increased energy of work afterwards. St--.s ~''

There will be much standing at 'best--all you need. Avoid it as much as you can.' '''- ----
 If you sit all you can and the feet ache still, you need not be discouraged and go to meet your husband with that drag in your walk that writes footache all over you. There Is no beauty in a weary, pain ful step. and he is mentally comparing it with the. step of his one-time hancee.
 Don't demand sympathy of him. Men don't give aelarge amount of the article, and it is frequently en excellent thing for women that they don't. Women get a good deal too much molly-coddling and wishy-washy pity from their own sex. Instead of blaming John for not being sorry that your feet ache. go to your room after you have served his dinner and give them a teptd bath of water in which a teaspoonful of baking soda has been dissolved Or slice lemon and rub 1t over them. The swelling will subslde, and you will be able to reappear in your charming dapper little ties which always delight him. He has missed them while the slouchy knitted slippers held sway.
