grand fathers" said a photographer

no Improvement on 1t for artistic del
icacy, for beauty and for quality. In
subtlety of likeness. nothing ever has
equaled the daguerreotype of seventy
years ago. and those who possess any
of them should treasure them as the
choicest heirlooms.
Most styles move in cycles, and 1t
is the same with photographs Many
photographers are taking up the
daguerreotype again In view OF the
advance in photography, it is now
possible to make daguerreotypes that
are permanent, for the originals were
wont to Jade when exposed to light
That's why they were always put In
covered cases.
There is at least one very good
reason for the daguerreotype being bet

but the camera lens between the sub

is the reversal of the subject An

WHITE PIMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom, Tll.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
of blood and matter His whole head
was covered for few months, then it
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts of his body 1t was
more like water coming out Of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
"The sores were horrid to look at.
1t lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an &C.
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -, but it did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment We put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on thick at bed time and put a
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores Then we washed it clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice a day, and he was completely
cured" (Signed) Mrs. e. F. Sulzber-

fearfully by their absolute ignorance

fingertips that a swell from a moving
vessel would have thrown him off

launch closed swiftly and silently in
upon the black wall; it lowered over
him like a cliff; far above he could
see dim divisions between black and
black that must be the rail. And he
shook his head, dismayed; he could
never scale that, he thought; not even

the rail, drew the launch in, let go the
boathook and, with the headwarp
wrapped about his hand. jumped
blindly.
Something dealt him vicious, all
but paralysing, blow in the pit of the
stomach; he doubled up, for mo-
ment helpless, across the junk's rail,
but retained sufficient presence of
mind to hold on to the headwarp.
Then, recovering "a trifie, he squirmed
over and fell sprawling upon the deck,
his heels drumming an abrupt and
violent alarm. From somewhere he
heard shrill jabbering arise, with an
ensuing patter of bare feet. Swiftly
