PREACHER AND THE POET.
;:*ri:er speeuiates on Shakespeare ~
Churehaoer.

Probably Shakespeare did his own
thinking on questions Of religion. said
little. and conformed strictly to the ex-
listing order. Still We question IL he
was a good ehurchsoer. The town and
church Of Stratford had q decided bent
toward Presbyterianism, and there is
reason to think that he did not get
on well with it in this respect. Him
self the wisest Of preachers, he does
not seem to have been fond of preach
ing. That which sounds most like it
and very wise it is-comes from
Polonius. whom he calls "a prating old
fool" We fear that WREN he walked
to church with his wife he went no
fertilizer than the porch. but strolfed
along the Avon. where he was found
by Susanna and Judith on "a grassy
bank" in close converse with daisies
pied and violets blue" and "herb-o:-
grace" as became Sunday. And in
winter he vas not sorry when cough

TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by cutieura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent ply
stefan for an obstinate case Of &C.
zema, I resortec to the Cuticura Rem
edies. and was 30 well pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that We discarded the physicians
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When We
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
With running sores. In about six
weeks We had her completely well.
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble.
In July of this year . little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
a mass Of t~orturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies. washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap. and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent. In
about three weeks his hands and
arms healed up. So We have lots Of
cause for feeling grateful for the Co.
ticura Remedies. We find that the
CCticura Remedies are . valuable

COFFEE THREsHED Her.


For over fifteen years." writes .
patient. hopeful little Ills. woman,
while a coffee dripker, l suffered
froen. Spinal irritation : and = Nervous
trouble. I was treated by good physi-
clans, but did not get much relief.
Il never suspected that coffee might
be aggravating my condition. 1 was
1ownhearted and discouraged, but
prayed daily that I might find some
thing to help me.
Several years ago while At q
friends house, l drank . cup of Post
nm and thought I had never tasted
cnything more delicious.
Prom that time on I, used Postum
instead Of coffee. and soon began to
Improve In health. % that now I can
walk half . dosen blocks or more with

I never thought I would be able to

not Hike Postum. 1t Was 90 weak and

Il explained to her the difference

Recipe That % Sure % Pleaoe the
Most eaStidioUo.

To make mayonnaise is indeed .
line art in cookery; unless the great
est car is observed the dressing VIII
be either too thick or too thin. or It
will curdle at the stage when the
oil is poured in. Here Is . famous
recipe for mayonnaise that cannot
eail to please the most ~fastidi0us:
Beat the yolks of two eggs until
they r creamy and then add. very
slowly, three or four tablespoonfuls
high-grade salad oil, and next two
tablespoonfuls Of vinegar, slowly, as
the oil. Now pour the contents from
the mixer into q saucepan of boiling
water. You are to continue stirring
until the dressing begins to get thick.
when 1t is to be removed from the
water and stirred until cool. Now
add one-half teaspoonful Of salt. two
tablespo0nfuls French mustard. one
teaspoonful sugar.
Having previously beaten the
whites of the two eggs and . fourth
of a tumbler of cream, stir these In
with the dressing In the order named.
As this will make a rather large guam
tity of dressing you may save half for
another time and in that q ID do not
add the whipped cream until you are
almost ready to serve at table.

which takes to itself the name of arts

Roman capitals, but the form OF letter
usually adopted is the unciel or half

have founded themselves in these
models. Within these last few years
not only has the art attracted a good
deal Of attention, but it has become
quite the rage, SO that in some circles
it creates no more surprise now to
