NOT WHAT HE HAD PICTURED
Athletic Girl Hardly the Domestic
Jewel That Fond Fancy
Had Pictured.

Not long ago man married an ath-
letic girl, thinking how fine it would
be to have a wife who would be able
to wait on herself and build the fires,
If necessary, and keep the dust de-
mon on the jump without bringing on
an acute attack of nervous prostra-
ton. Said he to himself: "a girl who
swims and rows and plays rattling
good game of tennis, not to speak of
her fondness for walking and driving,
Is sure to be domestic jewel. If we
happen to be without servant, she
can keep the household machinery
humming." Somebody must have told
that girl she was marrying man with
money. Anyhow, she hasn't been able
to dress herself without the assistance
of maid, and the only time she has
ever had the broom in her hands was
one day when she picked it up to hit
the cat with. If she'd clean house for
as much as half an hour she'd have to
go away to some fashionable springs
to recuperate. And yet, to look at her,
you wouldn't think she was so deli
cate.-Exchange

RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS

81 had eczema on my hands for ten
years. had three good doctors but
none Of them did any good. then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time 1 had
used the third bottle, I was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease 1 would honestly ad-
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but to get Cuticura and get we'll. My
hands have never given me the least
bit of trouble up to now.
MY daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and in two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuticura for other members
of my family and it always proved sue.

Pearls from New York State.

Several years ago Henry Bailey Of
Bridgewater gave to the Oneida Coun-
ty Historical society a collection of
shells which he had secured from his
pond. At the same time he gave to
his daughter, Mrs Charles Kerlief OF
Ilion, one of the shells which seemed
pretty one. And two weeks ago she
perceived what was taken to be
pearl in this shell, and to make sure
OF its nature the find was shown to q
jeweler in Utica. It was pronounced
a pink pearl, and 1t is said that if de-
tached from the shell it would be
worth from $75 to 500.
1t is by no means a rare thing to
find pearls in the shells taken from
local waters. Many shells have been
brought down from Adirondack waters
with fairly good pearls in them, and
a few years ago some were discovered
in Fish creek which were valuable.
The worth of a pearl depends not
alone on its size, but more particular
ly upon its shape and color. Angood
pearl must be either round, pearl
shaped or a perfect oval 1t is be-
cause most of the pearls found in
local waters fail to fill some of these
requirements that they are not rated
as especially valuable jewels.-Utica

TRUTH NOT ALWAYS SOUGHT
One Is Too Frequently Apt to Be
Swayed by His Friendship and
His Enmities.

A person should always make up
his mind more carefully upon a mat
ter in which an enemy is interested
than where the personal element is no
part of it. Unless he does this he
will be apt to think his enemy is
wrong. His prejudice then, rather
than his judgment, will rule
And the case is the same if
friend is interested That one fact
may control ones judgment. 1t is
ordinary experience for a man to take
sides with his friend. and it Is often
done without considering whether he
is right or not, in which case a man
regards friendship as stronger than
truth.
Friendship is the most beautiful
fact in human experience, and to say
"he is my friend" is saying a great
'deal. But it is saying a great deal
more to say 'he is right" and stand
by him for that, than solely for
friendships sake. This does not make
Friendship cold-hearted. AS Cassius
said to Brutus: "a friend will bear a
friends infrmities;" and even those
infirmities out of which faults grow,
but not the faults.
But our great concern should be
In dealing with those whom we do
not like, lest our opinion is swayed
by prejudice or malice. Truth should
be the arbiter in all cases. There Is
nothing so fine in a mans character
as frankness to a friend or enemy.
Such trait always proves it's high
merit, by the sense of pleasure it
gives one when it is exercised. One
of the best things to make a man
think Is to be frank with him; if he
rs right. to say SO; if he is wrong, to
say so, whether he is a friend or
enemy. And this, not in any con-
| troversial spirit, but simply as the
| expression of ones good will, which
Is always in order-Ohio State Jour
