ODD GIFT TO BRIDE
FATHER GIVES WEIGHT IN SOAP
AS DoWRY.

London.-A valuable wife in the
present state of the soap trade must
be the woman M. LIE Blanc, Partisan
has Just married. The bride, who was
the daughter of hairdresser in a
large way of business, not only re-
ceived from her father a handsome dot
in money, but her own weight in the
best toilet soap. AS she weighed close
to 140 pounds, the couple will possess
sufficient soap to last them for some
years to come.
When asked by his prospective IA
ther-in-law, flourishing West end to-
bacconist, to name the gift he would
like to receive on HIS wedding day,
the young man suggested few boxes
of cigars as being of more use than
the usual presents presented on such
occasions. VERY well; you shall have
my daughters weight in cigars" said
the other. He was as good as his
words. The bride weighed 12S pounds.
Mile Marie Brie, the niece
of a Marseilles confectioner, re-
ceived from her uncle on her
marriage three years ago an
eccentric gift in the form of her own
weight in chocolate. Perhaps the
worthy patissier had in mind when
making the present the custom which
prevails in Peru. There, on the mar
riage morn, the bride is actually
weighed, and after the ceremony the
bridegroom is presented by his wife's
relatives with her weight in sugar.
A Yorkshire coal merchants pres
ent to his daughter on her marriage
was to be regulated by her weight,
for every pound of which she is to be
the recipient of ton of the best coal
His intention, which he communicated
to her on the day she became engaged
stirred her, as she was young wom'
an OF frugal mind, to emulate the fat
women of the fairs so that during the
six months her engagement lasted her
value went up ten tons. Doubtless
she would have made further inroads
into her fathers store had not that
worthy merchant hurriedly married
her Off at a loss of only 172 tons.
The father of a girl living In the
town of Koniggratz offered to present
anyone who should become her hus-
band with her weight in silver cur
rency. AS she was well favored and
of a build which, although not excep-
tionally stout, promised an amount
ample to make a good start in bust
ness, more than one claimant ap-
peared. The most eligible was at
length selected and the wedding duly
solemnized. Then came the most i'm
portant function, the weighing of the
bride, who, to her husbands delight,
was found to weigh 155 pounds, or 49,
300 kronen, an equivalent to $2,S12.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow Sores-Grew
Worse-Parents Discouraged-cu-
ticura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl, one year and
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called 1t.
We called in the family doctor, and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in a few days.
The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right.
But she still grew worse Doctor
No. 3 said 1t was eczema. BY this
time she was nothing but yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
a week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one of
her eyes. or course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 8. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since it was
an ulcer So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could
help it. We thought we would try
doctor No. 6. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged saw one of the. Cuti.
cura advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so I went and purchased
a set OF Cuticura Remedies, which
cost me 81, and in three days our
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had
disappeared. or course it could not
restore the eyesight, but If we had
used Cuticura in time 1 am confident
that it would have saved the eye. We
think there is no remedy so good for
any skin trouble or impurity of the
blood as Cuticura. Mr.. and Mrs Frank
Abbott, r. F. d. No. g. Fulton, Os-
wego Co., N. Y, August II, 1906"

Blind Man Becomes an inventor

Silnd Man Becomes an inventor.
Iowa Falls, la.-Charles Abbott, the
Dlind piano tuner of this city, has
turned inventor, and is exhibiting the
working model of a heat regulator for
chicken incubator on which he has
applied for patent. The regulator
gives the alarm when the heat in the
incubator becomes too high or too low
The regulator is set for 1913 degrees
and when the heat varies a few de
grees above or below this mark the
regulator rises or falls, and, breaking
a circuit, rings an electric bell until
the owner regulates the heat to the
proper temperature. Mr.. Abbott has
been blind all his life.
