Beet Roots a Valuable Remedy.

little as possible before boiling, great
care being taken not to cut off the
little rootlets or fibers, in order that
they may not bleed" and so lose a
great deal of their juice and brilliant
coloring matter, which vinegar, by
the way, intensifies, though when used
for medicinal purposes it would be
better omitted.

PANToMtME HAD BAD EeeEcT.
London Youth Copied Crimes OF Here
of Stage.

Are modern melodramas harmful to
uneducated minds? Some of the old
time pantomimes in London proved -
be. In the eighteenth century one
of the most popular productions at
the Drury Lane theater Of those days
was a pantomime called Harlequin
Jack Sheppard" which was simply
reproduction of the crimes of this
popular young criminal, who was only
% when he was hanged. His chief
appeal to the popular imagination was
his brilliant escape froE. Newgate
prison with the letters on his hands,
and when he was made the subject or
a Christmas entertainment hundreds
fiocked to see it. 1t was even proved
that numbers of boy pickpockets who
filled the prisons about that time had
got their first inspiration to thieve
from this melodramatic entertainment,
and one boy confessed that he stole
in order to get to the pantomime and
hoped some day to be as clever as
Jack Sheppard.

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA.
Black splotches All Over Face-At
fected Parts Now Clear as Ever
Cured by the Cuticura Rene

about four years ago l was afflict'
ed with black splotches all over my
face and a few covering my body,
which produced a severe itching irrl-
tation, and which caused me a great
deal of annoyance and suffering, TO
such an extent that l was forced to
can in two of the leading physicians
of my town. After thorough exami-
nation of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year, but
the treatment did me no good. Fin
ally my husband purchased a set OF
the Cuticura Remedies, and after
using the contents of the first bottle
of Cuticura Resolvent in connection
with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
the breaking out entirely stopped.
continued the use of the Cuticura
Remedies for six months, and after
that every splotch was entirely gone
and the affected parts were left as
clear as ever. The Cuticura Rene

is as dear to me as an own son"
The count did not change his posi-
ticn, but stared moodily at the hand
some boy while murmuring cour-
teous acknowledgment of his pres
ence. AS for Jean, he scarcely heard
the words, so engrossed had his
senses become with the beautiful face
confronting him from the other cor
ner of the room.
The young lady was looking at him;
and from her clear blue eyes there
flashed a smile that opened the red
lips to show two rows of little pearl
like teeth, as she said in a voice
whose sweetness held yet note of
command, Come over here, pretty
boy, and talk to me. l was feeling
lonesome in this dreadful place, and
if the sight of you is so pleasant,
what may not your words do to cheer
me?" And she smiled again.
He knew her to be the counts
daughter, of whom Laro had spoken;
and he felt a still more poignant re-
greet that he was not to sail in the
"Aigle" that night.
Have you been long in Toulon?"
Jean inquired, somewhat at a loss
what to say, and yet longing to man
ifest his sympathy for so lovely
being.
"Since last summer" she answered;
and bent toward him as from a sudden
impuIse while she said, did you ever
meet people who were strangers to
YOU. and yet who from the moment
YOU looked into their faces seemed
otherwise?"
She had laid hand upon his Shout
der, and puzzled expression showed
in his face as he looked into her earn
est eyes. But this gave way to
half-mischievous but wholly winning
smile as he replied. with sallantry

A NECESSARY EVIL.
Experience of a Minister Who Tried
to Think That of Coffee.

ton of coffee drinkers, used coffee
freely till was 20 years DID," writes
a clergyman from Iowa. AT that time
| was a student at a Biblical Institute,
and suddenly became aware of the
fact that my nerves had become de-
moralized, my brain dull and sluggish
and that insomnia was fastening its
hold upon me.
81 was loath to believe that these
things came from the coffee | was
drinking, but at last was forced to
that conclusion, and quit it.
81 was so accustomed to hot table
beverage and felt the need Of it so
much, that after abstaining from cot
fee for a time and recovering my
health, l went back to it. l did this
several times, but always with disas-
trous results. l had about made up
my mind that coffee was a necessary
evil.
about this time a friend told me
that l would find Postum Food COT
fee very fine and in many respects
away ahead of coffee. So l bought
some and, making it very carefully
according to the directions. we we're
delighted to find that he had not ex-
aggerated in the least. From that day
to this we have liked it better than
the old kind Of coffee or anything else
in the way of table drink.
"Its use gave me, in a very short
time, an increase in strength, clear
ness of brain and steadiness OF

ing. came back to me.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
a Desperately Serious Case Cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Brought to the very verge of starva-
ton by the rejection Of all nourishment,
her vitality almost destroyed, the re-
covery Of Mrs. j. A. Wyatt, of No. 1889
Seventh street, Des Moines, Iowa,
seemed hopeless. Her physicians utterly
failed to reach the seat of the difficulty
and death must have resulted if she had
not pursued an independent course sug-
gested by her sisters experience.
Mrs. Wyatt says: 81 had pain in the
region of the heart, palpitation and
shortness of breath so that 1 could not
walk very fast. My head ached very
badly and 1 was seized with vomiting
spells. whenever took any food A doc

trouble gastritis, but he gave me no re-
lief Then l tried a second doctor with

delicate broth OH my stomach, and at

"Nay-not l. Why should II"
asked Jean, as he opened the door.

time
Jean walked slowly along the
streets, seeing nothing for time. He
was going toward home, and had al
most reached the narrow street upon
which stood Margot's cottage, when
he saw approaching that which sent
his dreams flying, and with them all
thoughts of Laro and Louisiana.
1t was Greloire, who appeared to
have seen him at the same moment;
for he paused, as if waiting for the
boy to come near.
Tell me-have you seen him?
What said he?" Jean demanded, be-
fore they had gone half dozen steps.
Never mind whether or not have
seen him." replied Greloire, rather
slowly. let it suffice that he knows
of my having met with you, and of
your anxiety to see him. But he bids
you, with his love, to stop at home
for the present. Wait quietly here.
as he asks of you, and you will be
sure to see him in short time"
See him-herel" exclaimed the
boy. How can that be?''
Il cannot tell you that; only wait.
and you shall see. He was not pleased

leaving the city; and so you must
promise not to attempt it."
A rebellious light shone for mo-
ment in the dark eyes turned to meet
the soldiers stern look. Then it was
gone, and Jean answered with deep

sigh, Eyes; will do as he wishes"
1t lacked but few minutes of eight
O'Clock. and the neighborhood of LIE
Chen Heureux was unwontedly quiet.
Inside. however. there was the
usual gathering of soldiers and citi-
zens.
Laro was not in the room with the
other customers: and Jean, upon IN
quiring for him, was told in a low
tone by Thiel that the captain was IN
his own apartment.
He then invited Jean to follow him,
and, after bidding Pierre wait where
he was, and to open the door to no
one, he led the way to the passage.
Dropping on his knees, he grasped
ring, and square of the appar-
emily solid wall rolled up with graf
ing noise until it was level with his
head, as he still knelt; and a rush
of damp air, as if from out of doors,
stirred the short locks on Jeans fore
head as he stared with wonder-flled
eyes into the dark opening that gaped
before them.
A minute later the boys eyes were
nearly blinded, as he followed his
companion into a cave-like room, with
a floor of rock, which was also the
material of its ceiling and walls. 1t
was furnished but scantily; and
around a table ut the farther side
we're several men, while somewhat
apart from them sat two women.
AS Thiel entered, with Jean close
behind him, the men ceased talking,
and stared with evident displeasure
at the boy-all except Laro, who
called out, AHA, my young mate, is it
myself? Welcome, my sea-guli!"
He put out an inviting hand; then,
as the lad came to his side, he said,
turning to a slenderly built man OF
middle age seated next him, with an
elbow on the table and a hand sup
porting his cheek, Count de Gaze

CHAPTER v.

IL was the afternoon of the fourth
lay when Jean, fearing lest Laro
night come to seek him, and thinking
hat perhaps Greloire also would be
coming, decided to go to lie Chen
Heureux, Pierre having already gone
out to see some of his military friends.
The air was crisp, and Jean, walk
ing rapidly, was turning the corner of
the street leading down to the inn,
when he saw Laro approaching.

Jean started and stared

ued Laro. Would you not like to go
with me-you and Pierre? will take
both, if you but say the word"
Jeans cheeks were filled with sud
den color, and his eyes sparkled with
excitement But this all passed away
as he said sighingly, AYE, l would
like to go; but"
Then it is but for you to come"
urged the tempter.
Jean paid no heed to this, but in
quired, why are you going in such
haste?"
WELL" replied Laro, lowering his
tone. There is in the city certain
wealthy royalist who has fed from
Paris with his daughter Roselle, a
most beautiful demoiselle of eighteen.
He and a few others have made it
worth my while to carry them to
Louisiana, where they will seek new
homes.

been satisfactory. Wednesday

ways for the purpose of preventing
accidents if any threatened and th'
janitor turned on the alarm In
space of time which was veritabl'

The destruction of the western

and are only restrained from enter
