A Doubtful Compliment.


An angular man with gray whiskers

his nice manners. The lady who took
the proffered seat was stout and

The COrean mother who is desirous of seeing her daughter happily mar ried makes certain that the young woman is a good laundress. for ability in this direction has more weight with the COrean swain than beauty.
 He does not even demand that his wife shall be more than an average cook, but she must be able to keep fresh and spotless the linen garments which every one. from prince to peas ant, wears.

SCALY ECZEMA
 ALL OVER BODY
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out Scales and Crusts Formed Iowa Lady Has Great Faith in Cuticura Remedies for Skin Diseases.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
 CURE BY CUTICURA

"I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and doWnwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. at first thought 1t was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out WAS. Instead of going to a physician, l purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. 4 year or two later tho eruption appeared again, only a little lower; but before 1t had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuti- cura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It Is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. l have taken about three bottles of the Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know how much of the Soap or Ointment, aa l always keep them with me; probably one half dozen of each.
 ''I decided to give the Cuticura Rem- edies a trial after l had seen the results of their treatment of eczema on an infant belonging to one of our neigh bors. The parent took the child to the nearest physician, but his treatment did no good So they procured the Cuticura Remedies and cured her with them When they began using Cuticura Rem edies her face was terribly disfgured with sores, but she was entirely cured, for l saw the same child at the age of five years, and her mother told me the eczema had never broken out since. have more faith in Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases than anything know of. 1 am. respectfully yours, Emma E.

The French dress with it's long waist
 is exceedingly becoming to childish figures in addition to being in the height of style. This one is novel in treatment and is adapted to a variety of materials. but in this instance is made of white mercerized batiste with trimming of fine embroidery and is worn with a ribbon sash. The tuc1s at both front and back serve to give needed strength to thin material at the same time that they provide graceful fullness for the front of the skirt. and are eminently becoming. The frills set over the shoulders give the epaulette effect that is always becoming to young children while the slightly open square neck and short sleeves mean comfort on a warm summer day. In addition to the batiste. the dress will be found suited to all the pretty washable ma terials of the season, while it also can be utilized for yelling, cashmere and

All observers, Chinese and foreign,

scarcely ready. 1t Is not to be sup

could be offered to them, their means
of livelihood will be taken away. Will
1t be without a protest? Will the we'll
known peace-lovlng procliv!t!es of the

shall we see riot and bloodshed? Will
the moral stamina of the reformers
stand the test of increased opportunity

EeYPTs PEASANT WOMEN.

English Government Taking Steps
to Educate Them.
The peasant woman of Egypt, the
poor, patient creature who through the
weary length of centuries, through the
vicissitudes and tragedies of dynasties,
rulers and queens, remains, like the
sphinx, unchanged, is presented to the
public in the Fortnightly Review as the
mother of rejuvenated Egypt, ''the
Egypt that will be born not bond, but
free" Already one of her race-the
beautiful Thewfida-has become mother
of the Khetiive, and from other peasant
mothers, says the writer, Walter Il.
Melville, great sons are destined to be
born.
At the present time, however, there
appears to be few signs Of greatness
in the Egyptian daughter Of the soil.

is accustomed to drudgery.

given to her dusky little cherubs, the
children who, when small, tread only
on her skirts, but who, when they come
to mans estate oft trample on her
heart. In the intervals of homework
there Is even labor in the fields ready
to her hand.
The fundamental fact that she is de-
sirable solely on account of her sex Is
dinned Into the fellaha's ears from girl
hood; her upbringing holds out to her
no other goal than marriage; her BROTH

whose celestial breath she feels in the
cool morning air, but religious duties
are not obligatory for her as for men,
and she may but rarely enter a
mosque during the regular hours of

In conclusion, Mr. Melville says the
British government is taking some steps
by means of education to prepare the
future mothers of Egypt for their en-
larglng responsibilities, and, consider
ing the difficulties of the situation, has
made encouraging progress.

BoYHooD's HAPPY DAYS.

High up on shelf in the pantry 1t
stood
In fancy see 1t again
A remedy certain to do much good,
Though fraught with incredible pain.
There is nothing In all of the various
ills,
That mortals are called to endure,
From sty or stone bruise to fever and
chiils,
That it wasn't expected to cure.
It's flavor was that of some lake down be-
low,
That the imps kept eternally hot,
If outwardly used in two minutes 'twould
show
A blister, more likely than not;
And when, like martyr who yields to de-
SPAR,
You weakened and uttered yell,
The folks would approvingly nod and de-
clare
''Thats sign it is making him WE'LL"
Though long for the moments of limo
cent glee,
That only child can enjoy,
/ always think twice before yearning to
be
A careless and frolicsome boy.
Though life's serious cares cause full
many an ache,
And hope only leads to dismay,
I'd rather face all such distress than take
One dose from that bottle today.
