CHILDREN TORTURED.

Both Cured by Cuticura.
Last year, after having my little girl
treated by very prominent physician
for an obstinate case OF eczema, re-
sorted to the Cutlcura Remedies, aud
was so well pleased with the almost in
Simultaneous relief afforded that we dis
carded the physicians prescription and
relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuticura
Remedies her feet and limbs were. COW

weeks we had her completely we'll, and
there has been no recurrence of the
trouble. 49,.

new VOCATION is
OPENED FOR GIRLS
lew York Firm Chooses Them
to Take the Place of Of
flee Boys.
Erom the New York TrIeune.

The sins of the Office boy have de-
scended upon his head at the Ameri-
can Trading compan" where since
Monday there have been five fewer of
this kind in the city. And this is only
the beginning. Unless the girls who
have filled the five vacant places dis
appoint the expectations of every one
concerned, twenty-five more boys will
find their doom sealed before any great
length Of time. Those only will find
salvation who are needed to catch
steamers. A girl obviously cannot be
expected to tear down Wall street with
letter for steamer scheduled to
sail in five minutes. Neither could one
say to her as one of the managers re-
marked yesterday: Hey there Katy,
beat 1t to the steamer with this letter"
Perhaps she would run just as fast,
without such admonitions," suggests
the reporter.
THAT is true" remarked the man
ager When you ask q girl to do a
thing she does IL Immediately A boy
hangs around and does ii when he gets
ready. A boy will sometimes keep a
package OF letters a week before he
copies them"
The girls were first tried in the filing
department, where the work had for
mArly been done by boys, and they
were such a success that the head OF
th9 mailing department, who happens
to be woman, said she wanted to try
girls, too. Hence the staff Of FIVE. 1t
was found that the girls were neater
and more accurate than the boys and
didn't "fooP' so much. 1t is true that
they spent a little more time fixing
their hair and adjusting their collars
than the boys did, but that kind OF
idltng does not disturb a whole office
the way boys pasttimes do. Further
more. the girls were a little older than
the boys, and year or two In the teens
makes more difference than 1t does later
on. They were paid better wages than
the boys, because II was found that
they were willing to stay in their place
for while and didn't demand a raise
every six months, after the manner of
office boys. Thus tho Inconvenience of
constant change, was avoided, which
was probably the weightest considera-
tion OF ALL
No girls have yet been asked to run
errands, but the firm thinks they IRE
qualified to do everything that a bow
does with the sole exception of catching
the steamers. .."..
