Cure by cutleura.

my baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her TO be broken In her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. I had heard of so many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that
thought would give them a trial.
The Improvement was noticeable in a
few hours. and before l had used one

General Summary.

We are very slightly changed
From the semi-apes who ranged
midas prehistoric clay;
Whose drew the longest bow,
Ran his brother down, you know,
AS we run men down today.
"Dowb," the first of all his race,
Met the Mammoth face to face
On the lake or in the cave,
Stole the steadiest canoe,
Ate the quarry others slew,
Died-and took the finest grave.
When they scratched the reindeer
bone,
Someone made the sketch his own,
Filched it from the artist-then,
Even in those early days
Won a simple viceroy's praise
Through the toll of other men.
Ere they hewed the Sphinx's visage
Favoritsm governed kissage,
Even as it does in this age
Who shall doubt the secret hid
Under Cheops pyramid
Was that the contractor did
Cheops out of several millions?
Or that Joseph's sudden rise
To Comptroller of Supplies
Was a fraud of monstrous size
On King Pharaoh's swart civil
ians?
Thus, the artless songs l sing
Do not deal with anything
New or never said before.
AS it was in the beginning,
Is today-officia shining
And shall be for evermore.

Saves ChiId's Life.

NEW YORK.-While preaching &C
his little flock of Seventh Day Al.
ventists at Sayvllle, H. l., the Rev
c. H. Martin saw a child in a front
pew choking ON a candy Easter egg,
which she had tried to swallow
whole.
Vaulting over the pulpit and the
altar rail, the pastor seized the child
and, followed by his. excited congre-
cation, bore her in his arms to the
open air By this time she was blue
in the face. The minister stood the
girl on her head and thumped her
vigorously on the back until he dis
lodged the candy ball, and saved her
life.
Then carrying her back to her pew,
attended by low "amens" from his
hock, the pastor quietly took his
place in the pulpit and resumed his
discourse. After the sermon, sew
eral hymns of praise were sung, with
great feeling and the women in the
congregation wept.
The child who had been snatchel
from death by the prompt action of
the pastor was attended at her home
by DR.. Ross, who found that, though
greatly frightened, she was otherwise
all right.-New York World.
