FEARFUL BURNING SORES.
Boy in Misery IL Years-Eczema in
Rough Scales, Itching and In
fiamed-cured by cutlcura.

"Cuticura has put a stop to twelve
years of misery passed with my son.
AS an infant noticed on his body a
red spot and treated same with differ
ent remedies for about five years, but
when the spot began to get larger I
put him under the care of doctors.
Under their treatment the disease
spread to four different parts of his
body. During the day it would get
rough and form like scales. At night
it would be cracked, inflamed and bad
ly swollen, with terrible burning and
itching. One doctor told me that my
sons eczema was incurable, and gave
it up. decided to give Cuticura trial.
When I had used the first box of Cuti-
cura Ointment there was great i'm
provement, and by the time had used
the second set of Cuticura Remedies
my child was cured. He is now twelve
years old, and his skin is as fine and

SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS.
llIiteracy Prevails There to a Most
Amazing Extent.
2l5 Alamo Plaza,

OF the 100000 people inhabiting
Spain, only about 35 per cent. can
read and write; another two and one
half per cent. of the population can
read without being able to write, but
the remaining 621s per cent. are abb
solute illiterates. In the south of
Spain it is impossible to get a serv-
ant who can read and write, and
many of the postmen are unable to
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring a bum
die of letters to a house and the
owner looks through them and takes
those which are (or which he thinks
are) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid by the state;
the recipient of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount of their correspondence, and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent. 1t is joke among
the easy-going Spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most letters-whether they are in
tended for him or not.

Not on the Lob

An eminent lawyer with a large
practice before the supreme court of
the United States enjoys telling of
tremendous jolt to his youthful vanity
in the early days when he made spe-
cialty of criminal cases.
He had been retained by a man
charged with larceny in Pennsylvania,
and as the evidence was conclusive
had advised his client to plead guilty
you have a bad record, you know"
said the lawyer, land you have prac-
tically confessed your guilt. I should
say that you will be sentenced to
about three years."
This last completely dumfounded
the accused. He looked about his cell
vacantly for several minutes before
turning to his attorney. When he
did it was to say:
"Will you kindly step out and get
me a good lawyer"
