BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE.
Physician Called II Eczema in Worst
Form-Patient Despaired Of Cure
Cuticura Remedies Cured Her.

About four years ago I was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and few covering my body, which
produced severe itching irritation,
and which caused me a great deal of
suffering, to such an extent that was
forced to call in two of the leading
physicians of -. After thorough
examination of the dreaded complaint
they announced it to be skin eczema
in the worst form. Their treatment
did me no good. Finally I became de-
spondent and decided to discontinue
their services. My husband purchased
a single set Of the Cuticura Remedies,
which entirely stopped the breaking
out. I continued the use of the Cuti-
cura Remedies for six months, and
after that ever splotch was entirely
gone. I have not felt a symptom of
the eczema since, which was three
years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E. Sledge, $40

Charm, of Bethlehem.

A mysterious charm seems to hang
over the town as one looks at it from
this point and reflects that this is
Bethlehem, where Ruth and Boaz liv-
ed and loved, where Jesse and David
lived. and where Christ, the son of
God was born. What feeling of Joy
comes over one as drawing nearer
to the town he passes through this
lovely little valley covered with olive
trees and green grass, and is shown
"the field of the shepherds" where
the angels appeared to the lowry shep-
herds on the first Christmas night and
announced to them the glad tidings
of the Savior's birth. Leaving the
roadside and crossing over to 'the
field of the shepherds" one looks about
the peaceful valley and beholds sheep
feeding there upon the grassy slopes
and youthful shepherds still watching
their focks as the shepherds did in
the ume of Christ.
Near the field of the shepherds is
the field of Bsaz, where Ruth went
forth to CLEAN and where Boaz fell In
love with her. 1t was from this union
of Boaz and Ruth that the ancestors

sensation the gosling had then. He
seemed born, for padding, and as he
padded he kept bobbing his head
down into the white substance and
fetching up the most appetizing
things. Evidently the world had been
made for nothing except gobbling and
padding.
By and by he began to feel tired.
He determined to Jump out on the
steps again, but strange to say all his
jumps turned to paddles. He couldn't
seem to get over hard, brown object
next to the steps. He decided to try
no more but just to sit still, so he dou-
bled his short legs up under him and
floated. After while he felt himself
sinking, but he padded twice or thrice
and got up again. Still it was pleas
anter to drift, so he rested once more,
Lower and lower he sank. Strange
odors floated up around him. Drowsi-
ness besieged him. Not much except
his head was now above surface, but
somehow, as he rested his bill on that
cool substance the gosling didn't care.
Just then Mary Ann came out with a
pan of Feelings and dashed them in.
Peep! peep!" murmured the Cos
ling, bobbing up and down.
La" calculated Mary Ann, and ran
for the shovel.
When she had shoveled him out on
the grass she finished her exclamation.
La! amt that fool goose got no
more sense that to go swimmin' in the
slop bucket"
"Peep!" replied the gosling, placidly
turning over on the grass in the warm
sun with deliciously filled feeling.

by. One day and another chat fool

him, figured continually before the
public eye. So entirely devoid Of
sense did his escapades seem that the

With the coming of the snappy De-

of David and Christ sprung With the
mind thus awakened by these histor-
ic spots, one journeys along to the
gateway leading into the town.
Bethlehem has about 5000 inhabi-
tants. The streets are narrow, poorly
paved, with scarcely a level stretch
anywhere, while low-sized houses of
stone line both sides of the streets.
The lower floor of many of the houses
is used for booth or workshop,
where natives are principally engaged
in making rosaries or trinkets OF
pearl, coral and olive wood.
The inhabitants are for the most
part Christians. They are bright ap-
pearing, neatly dressed and more fav'
orably impress one than the people OF
Jerusalem. 1t is said that the blood
of the crusaders flows in the veins OF
many of the inhabitants.

The Gaze tn the Rock.

Passing through the narrow streets
we finally come to the church of the
Nativity. a..
1t was here that the inn stood where
Mary and Joseph, footsore and weary,
after their long journey, sought for
lodgings but there was no room for
them" They were obliged to seek else
where for some resting place. The
chalk-hills of Judea are honey-combed
with innumerable caves. One of these
excavations, close by the inn, was
used as a shelter for such beasts as
the stables Of the inn could not &C
commodate. Mary and Joseph were
obliged to take shelter in this grotto.
Here, amid the straw which served as
bedding for the beasts, far from all
assistance, on a cold winters night,
Mary, the virgin mother, gave birth to
the infant Savior.
This cave is established beyond all
doubt as the place where Christ was
born. From the earliest times Chris
tians have always kept sacred this
particular spot. st. Justin, martyr
born in Palestine about 100 years af-
ter Christ, speaks of this cave, and the
pagan philosopher CELSIUS, writing A.
D. $50, also knew of it. The emperor
Hadrian, about 1877 A. D., in order to
keep the Christians away from it,
erected statue of Adonis there and
established idol worship in the cavern.
The emperor Constantine removed
the idol and erected over the cave a
church about $50 A. D. At different
periods since then the church has
been rebuilt, enlarged and renovated,
until we find the present structure,
with its different sections belonging
to the Latin, Greek and Armenian
rites The courtyard leading to the
church is paved with large square
stones and on the side are the ruins of
old columns where the former atrium
Of tibet basilica stood. This court
yard is frequently used as market
place where the natives gather to sell
their wares

wee striped bantams, two long legged
peevish turkeys, and two perpetually
hungry ducks. But when it came to
the twin goslings there was only one
of them. OF course, the different twins
associated together and told each 9TH
er their trials and joys, their fears
and hopes; but the gosling was the
yellow sheep of the family. He knew
no troubles but his own, he wanted
little, and when he found happy
hunting ground of bugs he had it all to
himself. He had also a little habit
Of wabbling in while two chickens
fought over a bug, quietly gobbling up
the insect and calmly turning his back
without even so much as reminder
that there no longer existed cause
for quarrelling. Others might have
sharp bills to dig and fight, but he
had broad one to grasp and retain.
In his Independent, happy-go-lucky
way he waddled through the world,
making strange friends, and having
feather-breadth escapes known only to
himself and the Martin family.
May Day dawned warm and sunny.
Worms had fairly wriggled themselves
into the goslings mouth that morning,
and he felt more than content as he
squatted in the sun on the back kitch-
en- step. Suddenly, in turning his head
to the left, he spied tempting red
object peeping up from a great, round,
whitigh looking surface. The goslihg
made dash, and splash! he went
under the shining white surface. He
had that red bit, however, and as he
swallowed it he instinctively struck

Bethlehem is situated about six
miles south of Jerusalem. Starting
from Jerusalem by the Jaffa gate, the
Journey is over rough and hilly
country road amid scenes that awaken
in the mind reverent memories
and fill the soul with loving emo
lions. Along this very road Christ
often walked, and here and there at
different turns of the road are places
associated with some interesting and
stirring event in the history of the
people of Israel On the west, is the
Gihon valley, where Solomon was
crowned and on the southeast is the
valley of Hinnom, where nearby, in
the field of Rephaim, King David de-
feated the Philistines.
But a short distance from King
David's we'll Bethlehem greets the eye.
There on a high hill 1t stands, with its
closely clustered houses Of white
stone, It's massive walls and towers
looming forth in the brightness of the
morning sun, while below is a rich
valley with its green grass, olive trees
and vineyards reaching up in terraces
to the summit of the hill.

Looks Like Fortress.

The outside OF the church looks like
fortress with its high stone walls.
A little door leads into the church,
which is divided into three sections
belonging to the Latins, Greeks and
Armenians The first section of the
church is the Greek Basilica. Here
two rows of marble pillars support
the roof and divide the nave into two
aisles. These pillars are said to have
been taken from the temple of Solo
mon. Along the walls are traces OF
ancient mosaics.
There are two entrances feading
to the grotto, one by marble stair
case near the choir in the Greek sec.
ton of the church, and the other from
the Latin section, which Is known as
the church of st. Catherine.
Some few years ago this church OF
ST. Catherine was enlarged and hand
somely fitted up by the emperor OF
Austria.

with gifts Of gold, frankincense, and

sageway to the altar of st. Eusebius
of Cremona, which is built over his
tomb. He was friend of st. Jerome
and came to aid him in the founding
Of a monastery at Bethlehem. He
afterward became the superior of it,
and died in 422 A. D.
We next come to the chapel e the
Tombs.
On the east side is an altar, beneath
which are the tombs of st. Paula and
st. Eustochlum, her daughter. They
were descendants of the Gracci and
Scipios, and had come to Bethlehem to
devote themselves to the service of
God. They distributed their wealth to
the poor, aided st. Jerome to build
monasteries, and studied the holy
scriptures under him.
In the west wall of this chapel is the
tomb of st. Jerome, where an altar is
also erected above his resting place.
Near by is a small room known as the
oratory of st. Jerome. Here the saint
spent his declining years in prayer
and the study Of the scriptures.
Retracing our steps to the entrance
Of this chapel of Tombs, we come next
to the altar of the Innocents. Tradi-
