Love for the Old Home.

Mankind is nomadic, and while the
sweetest poetry in the language is in
spired by the old home the monu-
mental work in the world has been ac-
complished in the main by those who
left the parental roof to pursue else
where the quest for fortune, fame and
high success. Nevertheless, the love
for the old home abides. The re-
union of those who remain and those
who have departed is an occasion
that will stir the pulse of any COM
munity in which such a soulful event
takes place, The pretty announce
ment was made by newspaper in a
little New England town which was
about to celebrate its old home week
that 'the Jones boys have arrived
and Charles will preach in the Pres
byterian church on Sunday" A little
waif of news like that revives old
times and pays for all the prepare
ton of "old home week. "-Philadel

LONG WAIT FOR vINDlcATIoN.
Woman's Innocence Discovered After
Six Years In Prison.

One of the strangest of stories of
false Imprisonment comes from
France. A woman was sentenced to
Imprisonment for life for having
caused the death of her husband and
brother. The three lived together at
Malaunay, near Rouen, in cottage,
the lower part of which was used as
wineshop. When the woman was
sent to prison other people took the
wineshop, but the new tenants suf-
fered, the man from fainting fits, his
wife from nausea, from which she
died. Another couple tried their for
tune, but they, too, were overcome by
the spell of the accursed place" as
they thought it. They were subject
to falnting and loss of memory. At
last scientific examination of the
premises was made. Then 1t was
found that adjoining the inn was a
lime kiln In the wall dividing 1t
from the cottage we're many assures,
so that whenever lime was burnt
monoxide of carbon escaped into the
inn. This was the secret of the deaths
for which the woman was suffering.
She was brought out Of prison after
six years of servitude.

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 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

Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to p4 &c e'srsi ether

open sore. 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 rut
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ

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,

Look for Action from Senator.

According to general belief Mr..
Knox of Pennsylvania does not mean
to be a silent member of the United
States senate at the coming session
AS a rule newcomers are rather ex.
pected to keep in the background for
time, but Senator Knox is tacitly
booked to take leading part in dis.
cussion of the railroad rate measure.
For many years Pennsylvania sena
tors have almost confined themselves
to committee activity. The Gamer
ons, father and son, were silent men,
and so to a great extent was Mr.
Quay. Mr.. Penrose, too, rarely opens
his lips, so the spectacle of a Penn
sylvania senator active in debate will
be somewhat of novelty.
