CHARACTER IN THE MAKING.

1t ia not a meaningless phrase nor
that M should count II all Joy when
she is afflicted by circumstances, dis.

making and beyond her control. BY
this token she may know that she Ia
chosen for some sacred use and pur.
pose.
The old-time workers in metals,
whose productions have come down
to the present age as models OF the
true In line and beautiful in art, never
did their best work, fashioned nearest
to their Hottest ideals, until they used

SLAMS" we're wrought. Cheap material
Is brittle, and so is easily broken and
destroyed. The coarser the uses to
which they are to be put the less iron
and steel are worked yer. For in
struments which are to acquire a fine
edge and serve important and delicate
purposes the best steel is selected and
then Is fired and hammered and pol

that 1t Is possible to attain.
So the spirit and heart and brain
which is most ductile and flexible and

fit for high and delicate uses. The

their unfineness and consequent unfit
ness, selected for the hammering and

ECZEMA COVERED BABY.
Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw-Suf-
fered Untold Misery--Perfect
Cure by cuticura Remedies.

my son, who is now twenty-five
years Of age, when four months old
began to have eczema on his face,
spreading quite rapidly until he was
nearly covered. The eczema was some
thing terrible, and the doctors said it
was the worst cas- they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. l used many
kinds of patent medicines, to no avail.
A friend teased me to try Cuticura.
At last l decided to try Cuticura when
my boy vas three years and four
months old, having had eczema all that
time and suffering untold misery. I
began to use all three of the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
months; in six months he vas well.

HAD NO DOUBT OF HIS FATE.
Mr.. Jerome Evidently Was Aware OF
His Wife's Culinary Ability.

Some weeks ago the wife of Judge
Blank, of Pacific avenue, lost her cook,
and since she had no other
she rolled up her sleeves and for d
week provided such meals as the judge
had not enjoyed since those happy
days when the Blanks did not keep a
cook. The judges delight was so great
that by way of a~ppreciative acknowl-
edgment he presented Mrs. Blank
with a beautiful ermine cloak. Quite
naturally, the incident was a good
deal noised about among the social
acquaintance of the Blanks and a
spirit of envious emulation was de-
veloped in certain quarters. 1t was in
this mood that Mrs. Jerome recited
the story to her husband. what do I
get, Jerry?" she asked, 'if I will do
the cooking for a week." WELL"
said Mr.. Jerome, Eat the end of a
week, my dear. you'll get n Of those
long crepe veils."-San Francisco

BOTH GAINED
Man and Wife Fatten on orape-Nuts.

-
The notion that meat Is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent
as formerly. /.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish a part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically a
kind of poison that acts upon the
blood and nerves, thus getting all
through the system.

me at first but when / gained to 1876

she would eat Grape.Nuts too.
Nov she Is fat and we'll and has
gained 40 pounds. We have in

ours. 68 years old. was troubled with
indigestion for years; was a heavy
meat eater, and now since he has been
eating Grape.Nuts regularly, he says

by the proprietors Of a boarding

WHO IS TO BLAME2
For the Trouble Now Existing on
 Washington Street.

One of the city officials said to-day that 1t was hard to know who is to blame for the condition that exists on Washington street where they are lay ing the high service pipes. The con- tractor, he said, has had to wait for things that the city couldn't supply him with when he was ready to- use them, and besides there was trouble with the gas company's mains that caused delay. No doubt this Is true, but people who are inconvenienced don't always stop to consider such things. When the main Is laid and the water turned on 1t will be nice thing for people on Washington strceti east of Sylvan avenue. and on Sylvan avenue to say nothing of Town Plot clear out to Highland avenue. It Is understood that the only places con nected with this service will be Wash- ington street east of Sylvan avenue and Sylvan avenue until 1t reaches the high ground in Brooklyn.
