EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH
VILLAGE

"In Dowlais, South Wales, about fif-
teen years ago, families were strick-
en- wholesale by a disease known as
the itch. Believe me, it is the most
terrible disease of it's kind that I
know of, as it itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as if a million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time. I
knew a dozen families hat were so
affected.
THE doctors did their best, but
their remedies were of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried a drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as a last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. / am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with C%uticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was a perfect cure
in all cases.
~ may add that my three brothers,
three sisters, myself and all our fam
lilies have been users of the Cuticura
Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas
Hugh, 1850 West Huron St., Chicago,

Chanuinu America.


We admit and regret the fact that
England is far better known to our
transatlantic visitors than is the
United States to British travellers.
We wish it were possible to extend
by any means among all persons of
tolerable means and leisure On this
side a personal knowledge of the re-
public. If there is a real danger it
lies in this, that after a few years our
experience or ideas of the United
States tend to fall behind The facts.
For Americans belong to a country
which, if no longer SO young as it
was, is still passing swiftly through
phase after phase of transition. Emf
grafton decade after decade pours in
millions upon millions of alien men.
They are received, absorbed, assimi-
lated. But it is the greatest mistake
in the world to imagine that in &C
curing American characteristics they
contribute no influence to American
society. They modify insensibly, but
inevitably, to a greater or less extent,
the collective psychology of the
United States as a nation.-London

The Schools of Massachusetts.

Massachusetts is evidently at a
critical period in its educational career
and it is of the highest Importance
that no mistake be made. The ten
dency of the times is toward magnify
ing the industrial side of education.
There is SO much work to do, and the
demands of daily living and of the
fashions which the women feel that
they must observe are SO memorable.
that the head of the family is hard
pressed for the wherewithal to support
the material side of life, while the bet
ter side is generally neglected for the
inferior. This domination of the In.
ferior is the phase Of education which
has to be met to-day. 1t is a feeling
on the part of many people that the
first duty they have to perform is to
get enough to eat well, dress we'll. live
in a first-class house, supplied with all
modern improvements, and spend well
in the daily nonessentials which con.
sumo a great deal Of money and bring
in very small returns other than graft.

Real Early Risinu.

Farmer Brown and Farmer Jones
were near neighbors, and many a dis

excelled the other.
One day Farmer Brown determined
to put the subject to test. Rising very
early n morning, about two o'clock,
he proceeded to visit his friend. Great

Mrs. Jones hanging out the clothes in
the garden.

TYPE NEVER FOUND
NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT
HUSBAND EXISTS.
But, to Be Quite Fair in the Matter,
Writer Also Asserts That There
Is No Such Thing as a
Perfect Wife.

A distinguished lecturer, who has
also won fame in the pulpit, is going
around the country describing the per
feet husband, and is received with de.
lighted audiences of m 1t is
much to be regrett ed that men are not
In attendance. We are not ware that
there are many perfect husbands in
the world, and If the learned lecturer
has some new points which will In
crease the serenity OF the domestic
hearthstone the men should have
them.
the ONE who are so enthusiastic
over this typical but unbound perfect
husband that he will never be happy
without a perfect wife. We admit that
as a rule women are better than men
in the large morals Of life, but the
perfect n has not been discovered.
Hence the domestic squabbles, hence
the divorce courts, hence these tears.
The perfect husband has a large load
to carry, and it is much to be feared
that he finds life a burden at times
because of his lack of sympathy. The
perfect wife, if she exists, is always
saddled On to human imperfection of
the male variety and much is the fuss
made about it. Men are content, like
the humble beings that they are. to
take their troubles silently, but wives
feel that the world is entitled to know
the burden of their sorrows.
All of which is slush, Of cours
There is neither a perfect man o wo-

larly desirable that there should be
until the general average of humanity
is higher. What we want in this world
Is all the contentment, happiness and

blame. Most of the troubles we have
never happen, and such as occur may,
for the most part, be avoided. The
perfect man and woman are not neces-

do not need the law or the prophets to
make them happy in their W home.
1t takes two persons always to make
a quarrel, and it is easier to effect a
happy compromise than most persons
imagine.
Some people think married life a
torment. If SO, it is because they have
remarkable facilities for making it So.
The world is filled with happy homes.
