BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then 1t would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over In red bumps
and 1t kept spreading until 1t was on
his hands and arms. / bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him. but he got worse all the time. He
had II about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. ] sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolver. two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. / think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use 1t. Cuticura Soap is the best that

CHILD SAVED SISTER.

Little five-year-old Marguerite Mainguage, whose father is farmer at Laroucheyres, in Auvergne, France, is a real heroine. She was playing with her young sister Gene vieve recently, when the child fell into deep part of g brook: Gene vieve picked herself up, but the water was up to her face as she stood. She cried out for help. Mar guerite held her, and at last suc- ceeded in pulling her out of the brook. When their mother and some neighbors arrived and heard the whole exciting story they were amazed at the marvellous presence of mind and energy displayed by this child of five. Her brave conduct is to be rewarded by the authorities with a medal for saving life.

"We have period ical visits from richly dressed elder ly lady who has the hallucination that her son is shut up in our vaults. We go through the same procedure every time. We have one of our men show her over the building and into the big vault. We treat her with every courtesy and finally convince her that she's made a mistake.

This is we'll Illustrated throughout Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and in many parts of Eng land itself, but nowhere is the sur viyal of aboriginal names so general as in New England and some other sections of the country. Whenever one of these names is dropped, as has been done to some extent in the White mountain region. where good Indian names have been made to give place in too many instances to names bestowed in honor of individ- uals. If the practice had stopped with the five peaks of the Presi- dential range, it would have been much better. In the case of the vil- lage of Mantle, in Rhode Island, however, there appears to be no spe- cial occasion for regret, as there is another Mantle a few miles away, and this particular village was not originally Mantle anyway. It was changed from Charlestown to Dorr- vile, from Dorrville to Mantle, and has now been again changed to Bradford.

HUGO'S GOLDEN GIFT
How the Great Writer Rewarded tho Chlffonnler Who Had Found
 Hls Lost Spoon.

A Paris chiffonnier makes a living of sort, and he sometimes, in over hauling the dustbins, comes across a find. In this respect Paris contem- porary relates capital story of Vic tor Hugo. A little silver gilt sou venir spoon, which the poet valued very much, disappeared. Through the carelessness of the maid servant it had found its way into the ash bucket, and in due course into the hands of the chiffonnier who prac- ticed in the district.
 This worthy succeeded in getting the poet to awake from his reveries and to descend from the lofty heights of Olympus, in other words his study, to receive back the lost spoon. Hugc was delighted to get back his souvenir. The author of "Hernaai" was never prodigal, so he rewarded the chiffonnier by. presenting him with copy of his "Ies Chansons Ides Rues ct des Sois," saying I"There, my man, you will find in it ,as much gold as is contained in any jewel case in the world" ."-London NfiObe A@A-L.4.e.@7
