BABY'S TERRIBLE. SUFFERING

his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores We're over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when I removed his
shirt.
1--WE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. 1 used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before I could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and great deal more"

she leadeth me up the main aisle Of
church for her new hats sake.
4. Yea, though l walk more than
half the night through dark rooms

for she is behind me; her broomstick

else but comfort me.

quite so strange as the hat; saw a

openly or secretly, after the western
ways. I noticed long procession of
schoolboys in the streets of Diarbe-
l1ir, and every one was dressed in
European clothes, save only the hat.
This outwardly symbolized what their
schoolbooks more truly represented,
the change in ideals that modern edu-
cation is producing, even in this out
of-the-way corner of the world. The
governor himself asked me about an
American college to which he could
send his son.
The presence of an American doc
tor in Diarbellir illustrates how one
well-furnished modern man affects a
community. DR.. Edwin st. John Ward,
the only missionary here, except his
wife and baby and trained nurse, has
in three years made a place for him
self that has toned up all the native
doctors. But he has been called to
the important chair of surgery in the
Syrian Protestant college, Beirut, and
after few months there will be
neither missionary nor representative
of America in this picturesque old
walled town. But the American spirit
is here to stay.

whom SO much controversy has ragged
for centuries, and about whom books
are still being written.
The explanation of the matter is
perfectly simple. The tribes were
never lost. After being carried into
Assyria as captives, and dropping out
OF the Old Testament record, they all,
or a great part of them, simply re-
manned here. With that phenomenal
persistence to type which has ever
characterized the Jews, they have
kept their identity. They have their
synagogues-the captivity evidently
cured them of their proneness to idol
atry-and they remain peculiar peo-
pie. They are very poor, for the most
part, and their quarter of each COM
munity is about the most miserable.
All accounts agree that they have
been hereabouts from time imme-
mortal. Before it attempts to COLOMBO
Mesopotamia with Jews the Zionist
movement might we'll look into the lot
of these poor brethren, with such a
tragic history, who are already on the
spot.
Another peculiar people whom one
meets along the river, and, like the
Jews, an interesting survival, are the
Yezidis, or devil-worshipers. These
people seem to have religion that
continues mixture of the old heather
cults. They will fight anybody who
says hard things about the devil-and
I suppose Christian charity should re-
joice that the Old Boy has somebody
to stand up for him amid all the adj
verse criticism which he must en-
dure.
The kurd and His Trousers.
When Xenophon came through this

government has had no end of difficult
ty with the same virile stock, who are
now known as kurds They are the
fellows whose penchant for massacre
ing Armenians has made the name
Kurd known to the modern world.
Abdul Hamid could always count on
them for his bloodiest work. Simple
in mind, oX-like in body, the burden
carriers of all Turkey, the Kurd yet
has the primitive virtues. He values
life lightly, and has scant respect for
property rights, yet he is brave, hos.
pitable and loyal. Russia hopes to
draw the mountains of Kurdistan as
part of her share when this queer con.
glomerate of nation goes to pieces.
To an unusual degree, the Kurd pos.
