BOOKS FOR GREAT co.ir.iaHc-a
Library Napoleon Ordcrcs conrrissa
Many Subjects.

IN 1903 Napoleon formed the i1ea OF
having a travelling library in order TO
make his hours OF intellectual rcc-e-
alton independent OF the exigcncles
OF a campaign or the delays OF a
courier
The proposed library was 10 form
about a thousand volumes. The books
were to be OF small duodeCino size,
printed IN good type. and without mar
gins in order to save space. They
were to be bound in morocco, with
flexible covers and limp backs. The
boxes for their conveyance were TO
be covered with leather and lined with
green velvet. and were to average
so volumes apiece, in two rows like
the shelves in a library. A catalogue
was TO accompany them, SO arranged
that the emperor could readily find
any desired volume. TIE distribution
OF subjects was as follows: Forty
volumes on religion, 40 OF epic poetry,
40 Of the drama, 60 volumes Of other
poetry, so volumes OF history and
100 novels. In order TO complete
the quota ran the instructions, the
balance shall be made up OF historical

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
Hands Pinned Down-hiracu-
Ious Cure by Cuticura.

When my little boy was six months
old. he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that We at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him. and in our
despair We went to a third one. Mat
ters became so bad that he had resu-
lar holes in his checks. large enough
to put a finger into. The food had TO
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with Crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms. chest and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night
Whenever he was laid in his bed. we
had to pin his hands down: otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. | think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
We finally thought nothing could
help. and | had made up my mind TO
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him. otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
entity. and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend OF ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made a trial with Cuticura Soap.
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared It also
began TO disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely we'll.

Why Yawning Is Beneficent.

"Yawning is beneficial" said a
throat specialist. and in certain trou-
bles-sore throat, buzzing in the ears
and so on--I recommend artificial
yawning. This is more helpful in
some cases than the best gargle.
You see, during the act Of yawn-
ing there is considerable stretching
and exercising of the muscles of the
pharynX and soft palate. On these
muscles the yawn acts, in fact, as a
massage
Furthermore, yawning contracts
the throat tubes and drives into the
pharynx any waste matter that, ac-
cumuating there. may have impeded
the breathing. Nothing clears the
throat like a good yawn."

thing that makes a man crazy in his

departments and it is contrary to his
