Boys TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with crusts
Hands Pinned DoWn-Miracu-
Ious Cure by .Cuticura.

when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed 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 a third one. Mat
tiers became so bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks, large enough
10 put a finger into. The food had to
be given with spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
pirate, 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. I think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, 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 differ
emily, and we soon saw miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white
as never before. F. Hohrath, Presi-
dent of the C. L. Hohrath Company,

"If woman hasn't fad, there's
something wrong with her." remarked
an observer of mankind. 1"She's In
love, or out Of it, or her liver is out Of
order. 4
American girls are the greatest for
taking up re- cults. Now, an English
girl settles down to doing one thing,
and sticks TO it, and nothing short OF
an earthquake or a dynamite explo-
sion will turn her out of the way Of it.
But you just suggest to an Amer
lean girl that some new physical ex-
ercise will give her plump neck, or
reduce her hips or any other old thing,
and she will be nothing else f0r-well,
until the novelty wears OF or some
thing else turns up.
"Just now It's boxing. Every box
ing master in town Is rushed to death
with applications for instruction from
girls. Boxing, you know, is warranted
to do the impossible; consequently they
all want it.
but, then, after all, suppose it's
just that variety and unexpectedness
about the girls over here which makes
them so attractive. You never know
where they're going to break out next. "

gethsr when she saw this man. Prob
ably he would want Fred, who vas
eleven years old. It would b shame

place.
She threw 4 shawl over her head
and stepped to the door. Then she
went back and sat down by the win
dow.
81 could have bed for him up
stairs" she thought. And he could
split wood and bring water for me. I
believe I'll 60 over anyway"
Farmer Burnham was talking very
loudly to Fred when she went int the
dark, gloomy kitchen. The boys face
was white and his eyes filed with
tears as he looked at Bessie, his sis
ter.
"You can't have him." said the little
girl, choking back her sobs. Hes all
we've got left, and we're going to keep
hint"
"Ho, ho!" laughed Mr.. Burnham,
well see about that. The sooner we
have the papers made out the better, I
reckon" And he made his way toward
Mr.. Randall.
erred, would you rather come with
me?'
It was Miss Martins voice, and Fred
grasped her hand eagerly, while his
sister cried: "Oh, do go with her,
Fredv'
''I'd rather do it, Miss Martin, IL
you could get along with me-" said the
boy earnestly. "I'd try hard to help
what I could"
Miss Martins face lighted up as she
listened. This was. new experience
to her. Her life had been wholly CEN
tered upon her own interests. She
could not help thinking OF it even In
the midst Of this excitement. A new
feeling swept over her. How selfish
she had been! Would God forgive
her?
While these thoughts were passing
through her mind she was making her
way toward Mr.. Randall. Would she
be too late No; Mr.. Burnham had
been called In another direction. She
pulled the poormaster's sleeve and
whispered hurriedly:
"Ill take Fred
"AH right" he replied, and the deed
was done.
The proprietor of the village hotel
was talking to Bessie.
Don't you want to go and live with
me at the h0tel?"
"No, don't. l want my own home,
and that Is ALL"
But, child, you can't stay here; the
house is all empty, and you've got to

Miss Martins eyes flashed. The idea

of that sweet girl going to such a
place, never;
"I'll take Bessie, too," she said, and
Mr.. Randall gladly agreed.
II can have bedroom and a tiny
kitchen added to my house instead of
parlor," thought Miss Martin, land
can, take the old kitchen for living
room. l don't really need a parlor,
anyway"
And now what about little Ray?
There he sat, seemingly unconscious
Of all that was going on around him,
printing some words on a piece of
cardboard. Ray was only seven years
old. He would need care for a long
time, perhaps all his life. for he was
not strong in body. He was fond of
books and flowers and shy and reti-
cent. He held up the cardboard at
length and looked at the words he had
printed. They were: Trust In the
Lord"
Nobody wanted Ray. He could not
be Of much use anywhere, and 1t was
decided that he must 80 to the county
farm.
"I'll take him home with me to-
night" said Mr.. Randall, land send
him away tomorrow morning"
Sitting around Miss Martins table
at supper that night very little was
said. Fred had filled the wood box,
brought water, and made himself use
full in various ways; but now he was
thinking of his little brother. Bessie
could hardly keep back the tears.
Miss Martin could not help noticing
the children's faces. and altogether it
was not cheerful company.
AS they arose from the table there
was knock at the door. and Miss
Martin opened it to confront Mr.. Ran
dali.
rs Ray here?' he asked.
why, no."
well, he's a queer boy; I don't
know where he is, and now can't find
him."
rs the Dilling house locked?'
No, there is no use locking it; It's
empty"
You stay here, children" said Miss
Martin, kindly; "I'll be back in few
moments.
Then she slipped over to the little old
house, and. as quietly as she could,
peered into every room. There, in
the half twilight, she found Ray at
last half-lying, half-kneeling on the
bare door, in the little room where he
used to sleep. In his arms was the
cardboard on which he had printed:
Trust In the Lord.
The boy Was talking. and abe lis
tened.

the LlTTLE ANIMALS.

The bay mare stands At my Kitchen

And eaucily shakes her head
For bite of apple, pinch Of salt
Or sugared crust OF bread.
But. oh. for the little wooden horse
. l found in corner to-day,
And the little groom that straddled him
And rode him out to play!
Old Rover maps on the shaded porch,
While his great, brown, kindly eyes
Follow me to the golden gate
And back to my bread and pies.
But, oh, for the cotton dog on wheels
That romped on the velvet Moor,
And the little master that shall come
And play with him no more!
The Spanish cock with the crimson comb,
When he hears my feeding call.
He answered with a flap of wings
And crow from the garden wall.
But, oh, for the plaster cock that crowed
When my baby pressed the spring
My tiny poultryman that hauled
Him round upon a string!
/ IOVc the caves III the pasture lOI
And the cattle in the barn,
The geese that squat by the water
trough
And gable through the tarn.
But, oh, when the evening shadows fall,
And the ache of the lonely dark.
turn to the painted animals,
In little wooden ark!
And, one by one, take them up.
And cuddle them to my breast,
For the love of the careless little Noah
That set them here to rest
Here by the sunny window-seat,
In a corner of his room,
Where curious roses climb and peep
And wonder into bloom.
l have mothered many an orphan lamb
For the faint and fallen eve,
And many downy duckling housed
From the weasel and the dew;
But now, that every mothers babe
On the farm is safe at rest,

And fold them to my breast!
