Lille Girls Obstinate Case Of
Eczema = Instantaneous Relief
By Cuticura Little Boys Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
of Torturiag Sores - Grateful
Mother Says: :
''CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

ain reply to your letter I write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to use il - you see fit: Last year,
after having my little girl treated by q
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case of eczema, ! resorted TO the
Cuticurs Remedies, and was 90 well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence Of the trouble.
"In July Of this year little boy In
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty7four
hours his hands and arms were mass
OF torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing bis hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
snointed them with the Cuticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvcnt. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots Of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are q valuable
household standby, living ~ we do

WHERE FADS ARE USEFUL.
Variety and Change In Daily Routine

One of the professors in the Univer-
slty of Nebraska claims that the Amer
lean people are running too much TO
fads. He says they are wearing them
selves out chasing after physical cul-
ture. golf. tennis, automoblling, mas
sage diet, baths, etc. He denominates
these things as fads The person gets
interested in one or more of them ana
spends a great deal Of time and energy
pursuing them.

"The little plaintiff or defendant,
who was promised a new rocking horse
when Jarndyce versus Jarndyce should
be settled, has grown, possessed him
self Of a real horse and trotted away
into the other world" Dickens might
have come to look upon the court of
chancery as a model Of judicial expedi-
ton had he lived to learn Of law
suit that has just been decided by the
supreme court of Leipsic. This re-
markable suit began its prOtracted ca
reer as long ago as 1913, the matter in
dispute being a right claimed by the
communes Of Dabo and Engenthal, on
the border Of Alsace and Lorraine, to
cut wood in the forest of DabO. After
nearly four centuries Of litigation the
claim Of the two communes has been
tablished.-LondOn Globe.

The Key to the situation.

Mark Twain has told many good
stories Of himself, and the clrcum-
stances make it likely that he was the
original teller of the following. His
sense Of humor would give the incident
its full value.
While at his summer residence ne
prepared one evening to take drive
and, expecting to remain out until
late. told his hostler that he need not
wait for him. He instructed the man.
however, when he had finished MS
work to lock the stable and place the
key under a stone, the location OF
which Mr. Clemens described with
much eXactness.
When the humorist reached home
after his drive he was surprised TO ma
that the key was not in the place Sc
lected. He was obliged to rouse the
hostler, who explained as he started
for the missing key, "Mr. Clemens,
found a better place to hide it."

THE MAELSTROM.
aoyy II Feels to De on the Edge or
the Great whirlpool.


the Great whirlpool.
Off the coast of Norway, between
two islands of the Lofoden group, IS
the largest whirlpool in the world. It's
name, Maelstrom, means "whirling
stream" and the title is well earned.
The great Maelstrom is no longer
held In superstltious fear, and mari
time charts have taught the sailors OF
the world where the danger lies and
how to avoid 1t, so that accidents rare
" occur-never except through igno-
rance or Il previous disaster that has
rendered n vessel unmanageable.
Several years ago the captain OF
smiling vessel DESTROYS Of seeing the
famous whirlpool at close quarters,
was assured by his Norwegian pilot
that he might venture near enough for
examination without danger. And here
Is what the captain saw:

His Pet Aversion.

The late Associate Justice Gray or
the supreme court was very eccentric
Among his prejudices was a deep and
lasting aversion for typewriter. That
machine did not come into general use
until Justice Gray was an old man,
and he never became reconciled to 1t.
1t made him furious If lawyer filed
with him motion or other court paper
typewriter. He invariably returned 1t
with a brusque request that the matter
to be submitted be written in long
hand. He had a stenographer at his
disposal, but never utilized his serv-
ices. as he wrote all his letters, as well
as his opinions. He notified the clerk
of the supreme court not to send him
any typewriter paper, no matter how
important It might be. He never neg
lected an opportunity to denounce
typewriters. The result of his hatred
for these machines was that he die
three times as much work as the Other
| justices.

TWO ALPHABET LETTERS.
aJv md seW" Comparatively Recent
Additions to the List.

III is n fact, not so well known but
that it may be said to be curious, that
the letters and W are modern addl-
tons to our alphabet. The letter J
only came into general use during the
time of the commonwealth, say De
tween lG49 AMI 1858. From 1850 TO
1646 its use is exceedingly rare, ana

prescriptions, believe. Where lne
French use 1t has the power OF as
we use 1t In the word vision. WHAT
nation was the first to use 1t as ne"
letter is an interesting but perhaps uh'
answerable query.
In like manner the printers and
language makers of the latter part Oh
the sixteenth century began 10 recog-
nize the fact that there was sound IN
spoken English which was without a
representative in the shape OF an al
phabetical sign or character, as IN the
first sound in the word wet
Prior to that time it had always been
snelled as wet" the having the long

as "wet." weather" web" etc, with

was typical V the three words above
looked like this; "Vvet" "vveathor''

GREAT VOYAGERS.
As q General Rule, They Came From

the Smaller Countries.
Portugal is a small country, with a
land area one-third less than the state
of New York, but it has turned out IN
its time celebrated navigators, CaDral
and Da Souza among them.
It is a somewhat peculiar circum-
stance in the history Of ocean naviga-
ton that the chief navigators Of Eu-
rope have usually been natives OF
minor kingdoms and without the adj
vantages which would naturally accrue
to q representative Of one Of the larger
governments.
Christopher Columbus, as every
schoolboy knows, was a native OIL
Genoa at the time when the ltallan
peninsula was subdivided among nu
merous petty governments. John
Cabot was a Venetian, who sailed IL
the service Of England. as Columbus
had sailed in the service Of SPAN
Amerigo Vespucci was q Florentlhe
who sailed originally in the service o.
Spain and afterward transferred him
self to the Portuguese service anc
then went back to the Spanish service
