about four years ago l was af-
flicted with black splotches all over
my face and few covering my body,
which produced severe itching irri-
tation, and which caused me a great
deal of annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that I was forced to
call in two Of the leading physicians
Of my town. After thorough exami-
nation of the dreaded complaint they
announced 1t to be skin eczema in it's
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year. but
the treatment did me no good. Finally
my husband purchased a set of the
Cuticura Remedies, and after using the
contents of the first bottle of Cuticura

cura Soap and Ointment, the breaking
out entirely stopped. l continued the
use Of the Cuticura Remedies for six
months, and after that every splotchi

Before Antonia had left her room the
next morning little note was brought
to her by Lady Betty's maid.
"Come and speak to me. have some
thing of Importance to say to you," was
tpenc:led on the scrap OF paper.
Antonia sent word to say she would
obey Lady Betty's summons. 1t was the
first time she had ever been invited to
enter the large, luxurious bedroom.
II want you to give me a promise"
she said; and Antonia had looked at her
a little in surprise.
"What promise, Lady Bettyf" she ask

TOBACCO SALES ORDERED HELD
IN GUTHRIE.
Executive Committee of Growers AS
ISOLATION Resents Attitude
of Warehousemen.

HOPKINSVILLE, KY, March l.
A severe blow has been dealt the bus
mess interest of Clarksville, Tenn, by
the order of the Executive Commit
tees of the Tobacco Growers Associa-
ton that the sales now held on that
market be moved to Guthrie, KY, the
nominal headquarters of the associa-
ton.
For some time past the attitude Of
GAINESVILLE in reference to the associa-
ton has been unsatisfactory to the
committee Members assert that
Clarksville was inclined to claim all
the credit for the success Of the or
ganization, but an unwillingness to &C
cept the plans of the Executive Com
mittee. Numerous complaints of eX-
cessive charges and discrimination
have been brought against the ware
house men there, and only one ware
house has agreed to sign the associa-
ton contract Affairs of this market
we're also investigated, but everything
was found to be in most satisfactory
condition.

SHE DIDN'T WANT MUCH.

George Gould was addressing a
delegation OF railroad brakemen. In
the course of an exceedingly interest
ing speech, he said:
"On English railways the coaches
are cut up into a number of small
rooms, or compartments. The passen-
gers are isolated in these compart-
ments. Sometimes indeed they are
locked in. Their only means Of com.
munication with the brakemen is an
electric bell, which must never be
rung save in an emergency or crisis.
This bell always stops the train, and
creates immense confusion and alarm.

A WISE WIFE.

The late Hezekiah Butterworth, au-
thor of "Zigzag Journeys" and other
juvenile books, was profoundly relig-
ious man with great adherence Of
hypocrisy.
Mr.. Butterworth," said a Boston
ian, held hypocrisy to be the worst
sin of all. He particularly loathed
that form of hypocrisy wherein cler-
gyman, rendered a new charge at
higher salary, declares that 1t is sole
ly the prospect of an enlarged field OF
usefulness without consideration of
the pay) which causes him to accept
the charge.
And he told me gleefully one day
of a stab that had been given hypo-
critical clergyman by his wife.
This man had church which paid
him $1,000 a year. Suddenly, like
mamma in the wilderness, there came
an offer from a New York church at
salary of $4,000 a year. Would he
accept?
We'll, would he? 1t seemed doubt
full. He talked about the offer all the
time. The money, he declared. did
not enter into his calculations at all.
The only question was, would he, or
would he not, do more good in the
enlarged New York field than he
could do in his present cramped quar-
tiers?
HE even called a special meeting
Of his vestrymen, and told them that
he was prayerfully, and even fearful

ton. He asked their advice. They
urged him to stay.

before him. The clergyman's wife

PONIES IN ICELAND.

Riding is amost the only possible
mode of travelling in Iceland, says a
visitor to that island. AS regards the
ponies, there is not much to choose
between them. All are small and
sturdy. and those which are not brown
are yellow duns. Ponies do all the
carrying. Something is coming to-
wards us that looks like two gigant-
ic haycocks on legs it is, a pony hid
den under load of hay. Now we are
confronted with two walking trunks
and an equine head in the middle; 1t
is another pony, with a trunk slung
on either side. Behind it, on her
pony, rides an Icelandic lady in neat
black habit; she is evidently going to
pay a visit, and is taking her luggage
with her. In winter. grass and hay
being scare, the ponies are fed on fish
heads, and they seem to thrive on the
diet.
