Ten Years Test
OF Eczema Cure

After a ten years test, oil OF win
tergreen, as compounded in d. d. ID.
Prescription, has so thoroughly, so
absolutely proven its merits for skin
diseases, that we have arranged with
the d. d. D. Laboratories of Chicago
for a special offer on a 25-cent trial
bottle.
We ourselves became convinced
years ago. Cure after cure and the
testimony of the worlds leading skin
specialists showed us that the way
to cure the skin is through the skin;
not, however, by means of a salve
which always clogs the outer skin,
but with a penetrating liquid that
gets to the inner skin, killing the
germs while soothing the healthy It's
sue.
The Oil of Wintergreen Compound,
D. D. D. Prescription, penetrates while
soothing the skin; and a 25-cent bot
tle-a good sized trial bottle-is now
offered, besides the $1.O0 bottle, in or
der to convince everybody. For this
trial bottle ought to be enough to
show the way to the cure, and at any
rate the liquid the instant 1t is ap-
piled will take away that itch-yes,
just as soon as the wash is applied,
the skin is soothed and refreshed.

VERBAL MIsHAPs.
Dickens Once Made Two Bad Breaks
tho Same Evening.


the Same Evening.
Charles Dickens once wrote to a
friend: 81 have distinguished myself
In two respects lately. l took young
lady, unknown, down to dinner and
talked to her about the bishop of Dur
hams nepotism In the matter Of Mr..
Cheese. found'she was Mrs. Cheese.
Later expatiated to the member for
Marylebone, thinking him to be an
Irish member, on the contemplate
character of the Marylebone constit-
uency and the Marylebone representa-
tive"
Two such mishaps In one evening
were enough to reduce the most bril-
liant talker to the condition of the
three inside passengers of Il London
bound coach who beguiled the tedium
Of the Journey from Southampton by
discussing the dement's of William
Cobbett until one of the party went so
far as to assert that the object of their
denunciation was a domestic tyrant.
given to beating his wife.
Much to his dismay the solitary wo-
man passenger, who had hitherto sat
a silent listener, remarked:
Pardon me, sir. A kinder husband
and father never breathed. And
ought to know, for l am William Cob
belts wife"
Mr.. Giles Of Virginia and Judge Du-
val of Maryland, members Of congress
during Washington's administration,
boarded at the house Of Mrs. Glib
hon, whose daughters were well on In
years and remarkable for laxative
ness.
When Jefferson became president
Duval was comptroller of the treasury
and Giles a senator. Meeting one day
IN Washington, they fell to chatting
over old times, and the senator asked
the comptroller If he knew what had
become of that cackling old maid.

"She is Mrs. Duvsl, sir" was the
unexpected reply.
Giles did not attempt to mend mat

wisely did. Happening to observe to
a fellow guest that the lady who had
sat at his right hand at dinner was the
ugliest woman he had ever beheld, the
person addressed expressed his regret
that he should think his wife SO i'll
looking.

Mortified Tuberville. II meant the lady

Persian Prayer Rugs.

About 200 years ago small embroid-
cred rugs were largely made in Per-
STA, chiefly at Ispahan. These were
prayer rugs. and on each Of them neal
one end was small embroidered
mark to show where the bit Of sacred
earth from Mecca was to be placed
In obedience to a law of the Koran
that the Aead must be bowed to the
ground in prayer, this was touched
By the forehead WREN the prosrstior
was made, and so the letter of TIT
law was carried out The custom still
prevails. The Persian women who
weave the finest prayer rugs seldom
weave any other kind of rug.

A SMALL WORD.
Il Has Only Two Letters, Yet II 10
Not Easy to Define.

Il Has Only Two Letters, Yet II 10
Not Easy to Define.
To define one word in the English
language one modern dictionary takes
eighteen columns of small type. And
this solitary word upon which the die
tonary bestows such a wealth of elu-
cidation is one that hardly anybody
except a dictionary maker can define
at all. The ordinary educated, Eng
lish speaking persons knowledge Of 1t
could be expressed in about half sim
gle line.
This fecund word is "of" If you
were asked to define it-unless you
are a dictionary maker or of an allied
trade-probably you would have to re-
ply: "Of? Why, of just means Of"
You might add defensively. 81 always
comprehend perfectly what 1t means
when l see or hear it and can use it
correctly in speech, so what do l want
to define it for anyway
But IL you were a child your actual
mastery Of of would stand you In
no stead whatever. You would be set
to digging out and memorizing the
things the dictionary had to say about
1t, or the driest and least informing
Of them, as, for instance, that in some
cases 1t is such a kind Of proposition
and In other cases some other kind
and that propositions have such and
such properties when they don't have
some other, every bit of which you
would absolutely and mercifully forget
at the first possible moment. Look
over a child's grammar or Language
lesson, with its CHASTITY array of use

A Water Telescope.

Norwegian fishermen use a water
telescope to ascertain the position of
the herring shoals. This is the way
to make the water telescope:
Procure a tube made of tin and fun
mel shaped about three and half feet
long and ten inches in diameter at the
largest end 1t should be wide enough
at the top to take in the observers
eyes, and the inside should be painted
black. At the bottom. or wide end. o
clear, thick piece Of glass must be in
serted, with little lead in the form
Of ring to weight the tube. Wher
the instrument is immersed In cleal
water 1t is astonishing how many
fathoms down the observer can see.

The three-year-old son Of Metho.
dist minister was with his mother at
gathering of ladies'. At the proper
time he was given a cooky. He ate it

The bridegroom. apropos of nothing. began to talk about phrenolO- gy and told how his wife had discov- cred two very prominent bumps on the back of his head He was proud of them. So was she. and she passed him around that the host and hostess might feel the bumps and know of their ex- istence. Then she explained:
 My book on phrenology says that they mean good memory and generos- Ity."
 It was evident that she was proud of the facts. and so was he. But the host. being of an inquiring turn of mind, wished to satisfy himself, so he got down a chronological work from one of his library shelves and after much labor found the bumps on the chart. Turning to the notes, he read, seriously at first, then unsteadily. The bride became suspicious, but she was game and said:

 These bumps are most frequently found on cats and monkeys"
