Strangely Enough, English Firm Failed to Understand Letter from It's
 Japanese Agent.

An English firm, whose shipment of goods was delayed in reaching Ja- pan, received the following communi- cation from their newly-appointed Japanese agent: With regard to the matter of escaping the penalty for non-delivery of this-there is only one way to creep round same-by diplo- mat. We must make stir or strike occurring in our factory. Of course big untrue. I place my presence on inclosed form of letter and believe this will avoid the trouble of penalty of same.

But no cause for fear of prison hap penings, as this often happens by merchants of high integrity. But if this involves that your honor look mean and excessive awkward for business purpose, I think more bet ter a little serpentlike wisdom of po- lite manhood and thus found good business edifiee." The firm knows as much now about the delay as it did before.

INTOLERABLE ITCHING.
Fearful Eczema All Over Baby's Face Professional Treatment Failed.
A Perfect Cure by Cuticura.

'When my little girl was six months old l noticed small red spots on her right cheek. They grew so large that I sent for the doctor but. instead of helping the eruption, his ointment seemed to make it worse. Then went to a second doctor who said it was eczema. He also gave me an oint- ment which did not help either The disease spread all over the face and the eyes began to swell. The itching grew intolerable and it was a terrible sight to see. I consulted doctors for months, but they were unable to cure the baby. I paid out from s20 to $50 without relief One evening I began to use the Cuticura Remedies. The next morning the baby's face was all white instead of red. I continued until the eczema entirely disappeared Mrs. P. E. Gumbin, Sheldon, Ia, July 13, '0S." Potter Drug Chem.

Escape Nicely Timed.

A German shoemaker left the gas turned on in his shop one night, and, upon arriving in the morning, struck a match to light it. There was a ter rife explosion, and the shoemaker was blown out through the door almost to the middle of the street.
 A passerby rushed to his assistance, and, after helping him to arise, in quired if he was injured.

Seek Prevention of Consumption.

The municipal authorities of Berlin have decided to introduce another feature in their administration of tu- berculosis. Heretofore, municipal eff fort has been confined to the mainten- ance of one or two homes for curable consumptives, but it is recognized that, useful as this is, it alone can. not cope with this disease. They have resolved, therefore, to devote more at tention to preventive measures.
