TERRIBLE SCALY ECZEMA.
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and
Face and Neck Were All Broken
Out-Cured by Cuticura.

81 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. l at first thought it was
prickly heat. But soon scales or
crusts formed where the breaking out
was. Instead of going to a physician I
purchased a complete treatment of the
Cuticura Remedies, in which I had
great faith, and all was satisfactory.
A year or two later the eruption ap-
peared again, only little lower; but
before it had time to spread l pro-
cured another supply of the Cuticura
Remedies, and continued their use I'M
til the cure was complete. 1t is now
five years since the last attack, and
have not seen any signs of return.

Swords Into a Pillow.

During the centennial celebration In
I~iladelphia in 1875 the members OF
the Universal Peace union assembled
IN celebrate the tenth anniversary OF
the foundation OF the order.
A number of officers and descend
ants of officers gave their swords to
be made into a pillow as symbol OF
neace. The weapons were afterward
fashioned into a homely agricultural
implement, which, however, instead OF
being a pillow, took the shape OF the
ordinary field cultivator.
This cultivator may now be seen In
the hall at Geneva, Switzerland. Over
1t is an inscription giving the history
of the implement.

Three Great conversationalists.

The three greatest conversational
lists with whom it has been my good
fortune to come into touch were MAJ
zini, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes and
Bismark.
OF these, DR.. Holmes was the most
spirited in the bel esprit sense;
Bismarck the most imposing and at
the. same time the most entertaining
in point Of wit, sarcasm, anecdote and
narrative of historical interest,
brought out with rushing vivacity and
with lightning-like Illumination of
conditions, facts and men.
In Mazzini words there breathed
such warmth and depth of convic-
ton, such enthusiasm of faith in the
sacredness of the principles pro-
fessed and of the aims pursued by
him, that it was difficult to resist such
a power of fascination.-Carl Schurz,
In McClure's Magazine.
