BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.

Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
Cured by Cutfcura.
MY little son, when about q year
and a 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 a year and a 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 a mere skeleton
and was hardly able to walk. l sent
to the drug store and got a cake of
Cuticura Soap and a 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, n only for the Cuticura Rene
dies my precious child would have died

Occasionally one hears the hand

spoken OF as '~.unscientific" and mot
thoroughly mixed" The facts are all
on the side Of the painter and his hand
prepared paint.
1t is the most scientific paint there

suit the particular purpose for which
1t is to be used. 1t is as scientific as II
good Doctors prescription. IL the paint.
er did not mix 1t thus 1t would be as
~unscientific as a patent medicine. More
over the paint which a good painter
turns out is made Of genuine white lead
and pure linseed oil. II he does not
mix it himself he is not sure what Is
in It and consequently his client cannot
be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed by
machinery, that is simply a mis-state-
ment. White Lead as made by National
Lead Company is thoroughly incorpo-
rated with Z or 8 per cent Of pure Lin
seed oil in the factory, making a paste.
This paste need only be Trimmed with
additional linseed oil to make it ready
for the brush.

plished before the painter gets 1t.

The Two Mysteries.

We know not what it is, dear, this sleep
SO deep and still;
The folded hands,, the awful calm, the
cheek SO pale and chill;
The lids that will not lift again, though
we may call and call;
The strange white solitude of peace that
settles over all.
We know not what 1t means, dear, his
desolate heart-pain:
This dread to take our daily way, and
walk in ii again;
We know not to what other sphere the
loved who leave us go.
Nor why were left to wonder still, nor
why we do not know.
But this we know: Our loved and dead,
If they hould come this day
Should come and ask us, What is life? 90
not one of us could say.
Life is a mystery as deep as ever death
can be;
Yet, oh! how dear it is to US, this life
we live and see.
The child who enters life comes not with
knowledge or intent;
So those who enter death must go as little
children sent.
Nothing is known. But ! believe that God
is overhead;
And as life is to the living, so death is
to the dead.
