BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
In Torments with Terrible Sores on
Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
Cured by Cuticura.

MY little son, when about year
and half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body. and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about year and half of suf-
fering he grew so bad had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk.

of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem

THE KISS IN JAPAN.
One Western Idea That Is Popular

She was a Japanese college student,
little and thin, but very graceful in
her Paris gown.
The kiss she said, blushing faint

ago Now, among the aristocracy, it
is becoming quite renowned.
Yet it comes as great shock at
first. 1t is so different, you know,
from anything in Japanese girls eX-

tainted at first kiss that was per-
haps too warmly rendered. Yet these
very maids became afterward ardent

QUALITIES OF WIT AND HUMoR.
Alike, Yet in Many Ways Fundament-
ally Different.

Wit and humor are such elemental
fundamental things that 1t has always
been found difficult to analyze them
says a writer in The Atlantic. Upon
some points. however, those who have
essayed this puzzling task agree, for
they all hold that wit is an intel
lectual, humor an emotional, quality;
that wit is a perception of resem-
blance, and humor a perception of
contrast, of discrepancy, of incongru-
ity. The incongruity is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance; and per-
haps it might be added that it is al
ways or almost always a moral in
congruity. In the case both of wit
and humor there is also pleasurable
surprise, a gentle shock, which &C.
companies our perception of the hith'
erto unsupported resemblance or in
congruity. A New England farmer

Them in a Bottle to
Mix This.

A well-known authority on Rheu.
matism gives the readers of large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription. which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost. and, be.
ing vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, IL taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case of rheumatism,
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc, some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
