dure on the faces of some of the Pari-
slams who strut along the boulevard
every day can be compared to nothing
but the riot of vegetation in the trop-
les. Every Partisan has whiskers-
much whiskers If he can, but some
whiskers at any rate. He supplements
natures efforts with the best aids of
the barber and trains and nurses his
hirsute appurtenances with anxious
care.
The Parisians spend hours on their
boards and educate them into formal
gardens, set pieces, shrubbery, terrace
and vista effects. They lay out hair
scapes with them, arrange them in I'M
dulating meadows and Irvine them on
pergolas. There is the long, spade con-
coction much sought by men with
black boards, which consists of about
a foot of hair cut square across the
bottom and adds much glory to the
wearer, for the whiskers always shine
and glisten in the sun. There are side
winders and pointed ones, the heart
shaped and the curved, the waved and
the plain. A man who can train his
whiskers to grow in a new way is as
much of a celebrity as a man who
writes a good poem or paints a good
picture.-Samuel G. Blythe in Every

ITCHING CURED

Three Days After Six
Months of Suffering.

II suffered fully six months. The
trouble began on my arms IN little
red pin1ples and it was not long before
it was all over my body, limbs, face,
and hands. 1t was so bad that l could
not rest night or day and during the
six months, did not get good nights
sleep. I doctored for three or four
months and spent at least twenty dol,
lars trying to find cure but none could
be found. Then ! saw the Cuticura
Remedies advertised, and the next day
I purchased some for seventy-hve cents
at the druggists. I used them and I
was relieved of the itching in three days,
and I have never had sign of any skin
disease since. The Cuticura Remedies
are the only remedies to use for skin
diseases, they have cured me and they
will cure others in the same way. y. w.
