soYs TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with crusts
4 ---rfsnds Pinned Down-Miracu-
lous Cure by Cutlcura.

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 third one. Mat.
ters became so bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks, large enough
to put finger into. The food had to
be given with spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick AZ
finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, 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. ] think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
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
entity, 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 1t also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely we'll
and his skin was smooth and white
as never before. F. Hohrath, Presi

KOREA AND THE KOREANS.
Few Examples Of the Strenuous Lif,
Found Among Curious Or =
iental People.

Korea is curious country, its pea,
rle having many peculiarities which
belong neither to China nor Japan,
much as its inhabitants have in com.
mon with those two nations.
The Cinnamon we know as a race OF
hard workers, and the laps as quick,
ingenious and active folk; but the
Korean is an oriental Weary Willie"
No one knows how to idle more grace
fully than he. He takes existence so
easily that he will not even go to the
trouble of avoiding dangers that
threaten his life, says the Montreal
Family Herald and Weekly Star. In
those districts where tigers are numer-
Jus the Korean villagers constantly
sleep with the doors Of the houses
open. Now and again sleeping
Korean disappears, to the accompan1-
ment of angry growls and soft, padded
footsteps. The survivors are deeply
grieved, but console themselves with
the reflection that life is uncertain for
all of us.
When the electric tramway line was
laid down in Seoul the capital, two
Koreans were discovered one day
sleeping with their heads actually pill
lowed on the rails.
| AS BELTS an easy-going race, given
| to take the world as it comes, the
Koreans are a kindly and well-dis-
| posed people. They are much given
to forms and ceremonies, and, like the
| Chinese, they have a great reverence
| for old age. AS in China, too, it is
considered polite to inquire the age Of
a stranger or guest. A Korean woman
who understated her age, when asked,
would do so for very different rea-
son than that which would impel a
European lady to the same step. The
Korean lady would be inspired by mod
esty; she would not care to claim all
the respect to which her years entitled
her!
A curious feature of Korean life, and
one in which it presents marked con-
trast to Japan and China, is seen in
the absence of umbrellas On wet days
the Koreans appear in the streets in
coats and hats of oiled paper.

The following letter is only one OF
many thousands which are on file in
the Pinkham office, and go to prove
beyond question that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound must be
remedy of great merit, otherwise it
could not produce such marvellous
results among sick and ailing women.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"About nine months ago / was great suf.
ferer with female trouble, which caused me
severe pain, extreme nervousness and fire.
ment headaches, from which the doctor
failed to relieve me. T tried Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and within
short time felt better, and after taking five
bottles of it was entirely cured. therefore
heartily recommend your Compound as a
Splendid female tonic. 1t makes the monthly
periods regular and without pain; and what
a blessing it is to find such a remedy after so
many doctors fail to help you. / am pleased
TO recommend it to all suffering women" "

New Pose of Poverty.

Another society fad of decidedly
different nature, and peculiar to San
Francisco and the immediate vicinity
just now, is the pose of poverty.
Ones social standing is determined,
not by what one possesses, but rather
by what one has lost. Some one has
said that San Franciscans take their
grief gayly. They certainly take their
poverty ostentatiously Some of the
society folk have indeed lost much
and are reduced not to actual penury
but to very considerably diminished
incomes. Instead of retiring to OBJ
security, purple with modification and
bathed in tears, according to the ac-
cepted theory, they are banding to-
gether and making brave efforts to
take it all as a huge joke. 1t is
quite the correct thing to tell just
how many buildings you had burned,
and then the exact income you pos
sessed on Saturday, April Fl (the
smaller the better), just how many
servants you dismissed, what clothes
you had ordered in Paris and been
compelled to countermand
There is much that is brave and
fine in it all, and many women are
developing characteristics that have
long laid dormant. One woman of
wealth, who has been active as a
leader of things fashionable for
number of years, said the other day:
1 have sent away all my maids and
am keeping only a cook. | do the
upstairs work myself and believe it
is doing me good. | feel better than
for years"
In contrast to this is the young
millionaire pauper,' who keeps his

ically, purring loudly, and all your
cheeriest, pleasantest traits are por-
trayed upon your countenance This
is what your wary photographer has
been waiting for He must be man
Of quick perceptions and intuitive
ability, and while he has been talk
ing to you he has been, as we'll, not
ing your best and weakest points. He
sees that my lady has a sharpened
angle of the jaw that is fatal to her
beauty at certain views, or that my
lord has weak chin, not at all com
patible with manly strength, and the
artist must seek poses to conceal
these
Then when the actual photograph
ing is to be done you stand or sit for
a moment while the photographer,
with an air, at least, of a softly mur-
INJURED apology, focuses his camera
Then you remain on the spot where
you were posed The photographer
wanders about, chatting, showing you
interesting objects here and there,
your friends talk, you, yourself, laugh
and converse, and suddenly, when you
are perhaps least expecting it, you
hear a sharp little click, and you are
photographed
Then later, the negative is devel-
oped, enlarged, printed on some soft
gray or brown paper, and the results
come home TO you so pretty, so ar
tistic or so individual, with soft,
gray shadow blurring the high cheek
bone or too-wide mouth, or deft
disposition of a white light erasing
a wrinkle or marring line And then
society praises this clever photogra-
pher, who is indeed far cleverer than
many of them realize And he is the
vogue.
