BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA,
Mouth and Eyes Covered With Crusts-
Hands Pinned DOwn-Mirac-
nlnna Cmre nv Cniicnrn.


when my little boy was six months
old he had eczema. The sores extended
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
third one. Matters became so bad that
he had regular holes in his cheeks, large
enough 10 put a finger into. The food
had to be given with a spoon, for his
mouth was covered with cTusts as thick
as a finger and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and suppurate,
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.
1--WE finally thought nothing could help,
and / had made up my mind to send my
wife with the child to Europe, 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
different, and we soon saw miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We
made trial with Cuticura Soap, ONT
ment and Resolvent, and within ten days
or two weeks We noticed a decided i'm
provement. Just as quickly as the sick
ness had appeared it also began to disap-
pear, and within ten weeks the child was
absolutely we'll, and his skin was smooth
and white as never before. F. Hohrath,

Crescent Shaped vIennese Bread,

The origin Of that Viennese bread
shaped like a crescent, which is found
in most places on the Continent, dates
back to 1853. At that time the Aus
trlan capital was being besieged by the
Turks under the terrible Grand Vizier
Kara Mustapha, and as they failed to
take the city by assault they decided
TO dig passage under the walls, and
so penetrate into the town.
In the daytime the noise Of the
siege made the sound of the tunnelling
inaudible, and at night time the de-
tenders of the place were asleep, all
but the sentries and the bakers. 1t
was the bakers who, as they baked the
bread for the garrison, heard the pick
axes Of the miners coming nearer and
nearer, and gave the alarm. In the
fighting the Bakers Association took
their share with the utmost bravery,
and as a reward for their services the
Emperor gave them permission to
make a special cake shaped like the
Turkish crescent-London Sketch.

Operation Of Municipal Ownership In

Charles Edward Russell writes as
follows in regard to Municipal own
ership in Everybody's:
The rest of the world has gone
very far with these experiments that
seem to American eyes SO strange and
revolutionnrS. We saw last month
how cooperation has spread from
country TO country until in all lands
but ours it is one of the important
factors in modern life. The develop
ment of Public Ownership has been
still more astonishing In some form
or other almost every considerable
city in Europe has embarked upon it,
and the range of the municipal enter
prses is from the simpler stages OF
supplying gas and water to the as
founding transactions of the London
County Council, which owns and
operates street car lines, steamboats,,
ferries, omnibuses, builds and rents
stores, theatres, fats and dwelling
houses, finds houses for the poor, pre-
Ndes Fairgrounds, playthings, and

pels railroads to do its will, and gov

More or less of a modern habit
is the constant wearing of hats.
Even as late as 1859 Horace Walpole
mentions as a matter of course that
he never wears a nat. Remember"
he says, writing to friend notorious
ly careless about his dress, who was
expected home from Holland, every
body that comes from abroad is sup
posed to come from France, and
whatever they wear at their first re-
appearance Immediately grows the
fashion. Now j as IS very likely,
you should, through inadvertence,
change hats with a master of a Dutch
smack, in a weeks time we shall all
be equipped like Dutch shippers.
You see, speak very disinterestedly,
for, as l never wear a hat myself,
it is indifferent to me what sort of
hat don't wear. Chicago News.

Candied Cherries.

The large cherry crop of Italy finds
a paying outl2t in various forms Of
preserves. According to informa-
ton furnished by Consul J. E Dun
ming, preserved or candied cherries
take the sulphur bath, are then
stoned, cooked in sugared water, to
which sweentening is gradually add
ed, and are then left for two or three
days in the basins until the sugar
slightly ferments. They are then
boiled again in water in which the
proportion of sugar is increased, and
on finishing are either sold for can
died cherries or are bottled in a
heavy SYRUP. Women do the clean
irg and pick the stones, men the
rest. Such cherries invoice at about
thirty-fye cents per pound. The
best cherries are raised in Salerno,
il the consular districts of Naples.
The second quality are produced in
great numbers in the provinces of
Brescia nc Bergamo, in the consul

His Honey Accounted For.

A New Hampshire newspaper man,
who is very fond of honey, visited a
nearby city, and at one Of the hotels
he was served with some delicious
honey. He enjoyed it SO much that
he told his wife all about it when he
returned home.
On his next trip to the city she ac-
companied him. They visited the same
hotel, and when the noon meal was
served he said to his wife he hoped
they had some more Of the honey.
1t did not appear, however, and,
beckonlng to a waiter, be said: SAY,
Sam, where is my honey"
He was almost paralyzed when that
worthy grinned and replied: "She
doan work here no more, boss; she
done got a job at the silk mill"
The wife received a handsome new
dress before they returned home, after
making a solemn promise not to tell
the story.-Herald.
