NO SLEEP FOR MOTHER

Cure by Cuticura.

AT four months old my baby's face
and body were so covered with sores
and large scales you could not tell
what she looked like. No child ever
had q worse case. Her face was being
eaten away, and even her finger nails
fell off. 1t itched so she could not

could get no rest. At last we got

Dry calcium carbide is liteless as

with water it springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach

These facts, though OF compare

Twice in different parts of England
she insured her life in her uncle's IA
vor, went into commissions and to all
appearances died. The third time the
game was played with an ingenious
variation. The uncle went to a life
insurance company, explained that he
was in financial straits and wished to
borrow money on his niece's estate.
To compensate for such a loan he
would have to insure her life for its
value, but could not afford to have
this insurance become known, as it
would expose his financial condition
and ruin his credit. The company,
therefore, agreed to write the insur-
ance under bond of secrecy. AS
usual, the young woman went into
commissions and died. Before her
funeral she lay in state for all the
world to see. Her uncle was pros.
trated.
He did not try to collect the insur.

Forbidden Guest.

The following verse from recent poem
on "Our Christmas Guests discloses a
delicate little hint:
Come from that darkened corner! You're
the imp who in my ear
For thirty years has whispered, with
feverish lips of fear,
That the thing to get was money, the
stuff that men most prize:
Don't think I'm longer blinded by the
glamor of your lies.
For you re mighty liar, and the thing
to keep Is health,
And 1t has a value greater than all your
boosted wealth;
And another enc is honor, and some more
are truth and right;
I can hardly bear your presence AMONGST
