An Arehbi.hop's ForsetfuIness.

DR.. Maclagan. whom DR.. Lang has
succeeded as archbishop, Is still .
man of wonderful energy and activity.
He is very fond Of rising early in the
summer and taking q stroll before
breakfast, and story is told Of him
that. on one occasion. when staying at
the house OF well-known peer. he met
lis host also taking morning consti-
tutional. The two continued their ex.
ercise together, and were pacing the
gravel in front of the windows when
suddenly the host was startled by a
voice from one of the windows crying:
"Georgel George, don't forget that You
haven't brushed your teeth, and you
haven't said your prayers" 1t was the
wife of the primate of England admon-
ishing his grace in these homely
terms, and the archbishop, looking
guilty, departed to perform his for
gotten duties.

THE TWO SIDES OF HISTORY.
Some Pertinent Observations Made by
Writer Evidently Not Fond Of
Subject.

History Is a running account Of how
King Somebody-or-other either did or
did not get to a certain place. which
nobody ever heard of, before King
Somebody-else got there, from which
We are usually supposed to conclude
that 1t would have made quite differ
ence whether he did not not.
Like nearly everything else, history
has two sides. The history of the
Garden Of Eden depends upon wheth-
er 1t is related by a man or a wom-
an. The history OF the American rev.
olution reads quite different In Eng
lish books from the way it reads in
our own books. The history of the
civil war depends upon which side Of
the Mason and Dixon line you happen
to be sitting when you write it.
History is a bore. not only because
you are unacquainted with the people
who figure in it. but because it repeats
itself.-Life.

It was the desire of the father to

All through the life of Miss Mary
the father made notes of her likings.
and when she died. at the age Of Is,
he conceived the notion of perpetual

things with which she had been asso-
ciated.
The inscription under the names Of
the eccentric farmer and his wife are
also remarkable. Under the name Of
Mrs. Clark appears: "Of bright,
sunny disposition, a devoted wife, a
loving mother, a steadfast friend, a
lover of books and of home. and in

could"

RASH ALL OVER BOYS BODY.
Awful, crusted, Weeping Eczema on
Little sufferer-A Score Of Treat
ments Prove Dismal Failures.

my little boy had an awful rash all

to water awfully. Any place the water
went it would form another sore and it
would become crusted. A score or
more physicians failed utterly and dis

trouble. Then l was told to use the

Temperatures to be read without remov-

conduction and radiation the whole was
wrapt in layers of cloth. AS soon as the
leaves had reached their highest tempera-

they were still alive, after which the test
was continued, and concluded with a
search for heterogeneous. The first ex-
pertinent showed that the leaves became
