His boss called him up and interrogated him as to what he saw in both places, and first as to what the white men and darkies were doing in Heaven. Lord boss, the white men was all a-tilting back in their chairs, with their heels on the banisters, a-smoking cigars. and the niggers was down on their knees a. shining up their golden slippers Then as to what was going on at the other place.

THREE CURES OF ECZEMA.
Woman Tells of Her Brothers Terrible Suffering-Two Babies Also Cured
 -Cuticura Invaluable.

My brother had eczema three diff. ferent summers Each summer it came out between his shoulders and down his back. and he said his suffering was terrible. When it came on the third summer, he bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and gave it a faith ful trial. Soon he began to feel better and he cured himself entirely of ec. zema with Cuticura A lady in h. diana heard of how my daughter, Mrs. Miller. had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This lady's little one had the eczema so badly that they thought they would lose it. She used Cuti- cura Remedies and they cured her child entirely, and the disease never came back. Mrs. Sarah E.

ECONOMY CARRIED TOO FAR.
Old Mans Thrift That Led Him Into
 Ridiculous Action.

President J. G. Schurman of Cornell was discussing elective college courses, of which in the freshman and sophomore years. he disapproves.
 "A freshman of 16 or IT, said Pres ident Schurman, is too young to choose for himself the courses best for him. His mind is not mature enough It will make mistakes.
 Tn it's immaturity, it's proneness to error, it is like the mind of an old man in my native Freetown. He, though old, was mentally undeveloped, and saw nothing wrong or ridiculous in a piece of economy that he put in practice in the cemetery.
 "The old man had lost four wives, and desired to erect for each a head stone, with an inscription commemora- tive of her wifely virtues.
 But inscriptions, he found, were very expensive. He economized in this way:
 "He had the Christian name of each wife cut on small stone above her Emma" Mary" "Hester,'' D Edith" Under each name a hand pointed to a large stone in the cen ter of the lot, and under each hand were the words:
 "'For epitaph see large stone.'"

THE DOCTORS GIFT.
Food Worth Its Weight in Gold.

We usually expect the doctor to put us on some kind of penance and give us bitter medicines
 A Penn. doctor brought a patient something entirely different and the results are truly interesting.
 Two years ago" writes this pa- tent. T was a frequent victim of acute Indigestion and biliousness. be. ing allowed to eat very few things. One day our family doctor brought me small package, saying he had found something for me to eat. at last.
 He said it was food called Grape Nuts, and even as its golden color might suggest, it was worth its weight in gold. l was sick and tired, trying one thing after another to no avail but at last consented to try this new food.
 Well! it surpassed my doctors fondest anticipation and every day since then I have blessed the good doctor and the inventor of Grape Nuts.
 II noticed improvement at once and in a months time my former spells ot Indigestion had disappeared In two months l felt like a new man. My brain was much clearer and keener, my body took on the vitality of youth, and this condition has continued"

 the other his Letter to Coroticus." written against a British chieftain who had carried off some Irish con- verts as slaves. Scholars who former ly doubted the genuineness of the con- fession have since admitted it's au thenticity, and Prof Bury demon strates that it could hardly be forgery because the text, on critical examina- ton by the most searching modern methods, is consistent in every detail, while the strong personal feeling dis played is the highest proof of all that 1t is genuine document. And the letter is identical in style. There are also many other documents of Pat rick's time or later, from which compact body of genuine information has been sifted.
 The legends that have grown up around him are much more beautiful than ascertained fact surviving in the old manuscripts. Under a heather re- ligion, lrelands priests were the pow erful Druids, priests and magicians who had supernatural lore and inno- cent secular learning, together with skill in poetry and knowledge of the laws and history of the island. They were naturally opposed to a new creed that would abolish their power. Yet 1t is conjectured that their opposition to Patrick was not great because they had little organization. And Pat rick very wisely engrafted Christian ity onto old pagan beliefs. The Irish believed in demons. So did the Chris tian church of that day, and Patrick carried with him exorcists whose spe- cial function was to deal with demons. Patrick believed as firmly in the evil powers the Druids fought as they themselves. So both met on common grounds. His aim was to show, not that they were wrong. but that his be- lief and his God were more potent than theirs.
 This is the fact of the matter. But the legends tell more interesting story. and myths though they are. their beauty is compelling.
 Two maidens, daughters of the high king. lived at Crochan to be educated by the Druids. They went one day to fountain to draw water and found Patrick and his companions sitting there. They questioned him, thinking him supernatural. and he converted and baptized them in the fountain. They immediately fell asleep in death and were buried near the fountain.
 In these poetic old stories, woven around the saint by an imaginative people. and polished by centuries of telling, there are grains of historical fact, such as names of persons and places, records of ancient customs and other hints, that throw light on Pat rick's real work. He lived 31 years in Ireland and founded many churches, made the nation Christian as whole and brought Ireland into connection with the Roman empire. making 1t a part of Christendom and civilization.
 There were Christian communities before hp came, but without him these might have died out. He brought ma teriai benefits as well as spiritual, for he diffused a knowledge Of LatiS and thus put Ireland in touch with the worlds letters and arts,

 of St.
 Patrick

A good deal of scholarly research has recently been given to St. Patrick by both British and German authori- ties, and 1t is now admitted that tho chief documents concerning him are genuine, and that he really lived and carried on in Ireland a work such as has been attributed to him by tradi- ion. Lately new biography giving St. Patrick an unprecedented place in history has been published by Prof. Bury of Kings college. Cambridge.
 Three men of Patricks own time bore the same name and have survived In records. This has confused scholars who paid no attention to the myths. One was an earlier bishop of Ireland named Patraic. Another person named Sen Patraic, and also called "O1d Pat. rick" is now treated as a myth by in yestigators. Saint Patrick's own name was Latin pseudonym, and as he wrote it, "Patricius." means "patri- cian," or gentleman" strengthening the former belief that he was tradi. tional, or the personification of class in ancient Irish affairs.
 That Patrick really lived is now beyond dispute. The important facts about him. indeed, are in his own writing, or at least exist as later manu- script copies of documents he penned himself. There are two of these. The more informative is his Confession"
