"And Aqain NV Brethren

A certain small girl, YEARLY listen

cleric who had an odd habit Of draw

Why He Couldn't Sit Down

Harry, aged six, is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care of him.
The first pair of knickerbockers were
secured recently, and it was a proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement Of knickerbockers,
and there was a suspicious fullness in
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness In the back to be observed, as
the little chap trudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry, sit down." whispered his
grandmother. He o~bediently climbed
back On the seat, but soon slipped off
again. Harry, you must sit down."
Grandma, can't. Ny pants is chok-
Ing me" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted, and discovered the new little
knickerbockers were on hind side be-
fore. Harry stood up during the re-
ma1nder Of the service.

IN AGONY WITH ITCHING

About four years ago I broke out
with sores on my arms like boils. AZ
ter two months they were all over my
body, some coming, and some going
away. In about six months the boils
quit, but my arms, neck and body
broke out with an itching, burning
rash. 1t would burn and itch, and
come out in pimples like grains Of
wheat. I was in a terrible condition;
l could not sleep or rest. Parts of my
flesh were raw, and I could scarcely
bear my clothes on. I could not lie
in bed in any position and rest. In
about a year the sores extended down
to my feet. Then I suffered agony
with the burning, itching sores. l
could hardly walk and for a long time
| could not put On socks.
"All this time l was trying every
thing / could hear of, and had the skill
of three doctors. They said it was
eczema. I got NO benefit from ali
this. l was nearly worn out, and had
given up in despair of ever being cured
when l was advised by a friend to try
Cuticura Remedies. l purchased Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent,
and used exactly as directed. used
the Cuticura Remedies constantly for
four months, and nothing else, and was
perfectly cured. 1t is now a year, and
have not had the least bit since. I
am ready to praise the Cuticura Rem
ed1es at any time. (Signed) f. L.

Baltimore clergyman recently startled
the family while at breakfast by sud,

NOT YET APPRAISED OF LOSS
But mourners Would Be Plentiful When They Came to Realize
 Their Bereavement.

Cohn and Goldberg went into the diamond business. They got about s10000O worth of diamonds on credit
 @Now, how will ve make it a sue cess?" asked Goldberg
 q got it." answered Cohn. We will put the diamonds in coffin and ship it 10 Canada and you and I will go as chief mourners along to Can ada"
 So they got two black suits, black bordered handkerchiefs and all the trappings for mourning. They accom- panied the coffin to Montreal. As the baggage man took the coffin out of the baggage car they stood beside it cry ing.
 Are you the only mourners 2" asked the baggage man.
 "Yes, right now" responded Cohn. But in 30 days there will be more mourners and in 60 days still more mourners. New York World.

WORK FOR CLOUD SPoTTER
Humble but Indispensable Adjunct in the Process of Taking MoV-
 ing Pictures.

Among the new jobs that modern fife has originated said a statistieian. that of the cloud spotter is interest Ing and odd The cloud spotter doesn't, of course. make spots on clouds. No, no He stand on a high roof with a costly field glass and he continually notifies his employer, a moving picture maker, of the condi- .ion of the heavens.
 You see, for an elaborate moving picture play a steady, uniform light is essential. The pictures must be taken all in sunshine or all in clear gray light. Otherwise they differ. Some are weak and some strong. They don't match on the screen. So the cloud spotter on the roof. searching the heavens with his glass, studying the course and velocity Of the wind, as sures his boss of q good half-hour or hour for photograPhing moving-pie- ture play. and thus saves a waste of films that would otherwise be many lines larger than his frugal salary

 Somewhat of a Fix.

 Tt is, he responded suceinctly, not caring for much conversation.
 What time is it?"
 "Oh, not so late!" he answered.; and then observing a large bunch of roses on table in the hall he sought to change the conversation by re marking: What a beautiful bouquet of flowers!"
 They are lovely" assented the wife.
 "Beautiful!" continued the late ar rival enthusiastically. Fresh, tco, 1 should say. Their perfume is delight full
 "Can you smell them?'
 "Oh, yes; their perfume gees through the entire place. It is love- ly."
 You always did like the perfume of roses" cooed the wife.
 "Yes. and these are especially frag- rant"
 Well, go to bed if that is the case. You see, my dear, those are paper roses.

Why They Can Spell If.

Before I went to Europe said the school teacher, "it was one of the mysteries of my profession how every British child enrolled in our schools came to be authority on the spelling of chilblains. Teachers might hesi- tate over one "l' or two, the children never. They might make photographic mess of the simplest one syllable word, but the tiniest tot from the British isles went to the head of the class on chilblains every time. One wintry month in those same islands told me why. It is the word they saw oftenest. In drug stores, in clothing stores, in shops of all kinds cures and preventiyes of chilblains are uni versally advertised. Owing to the exigencies of the climate there is a regular chilblains literature present ed for those children's absorption, so no wonder they know how to spell their universal aff1iction."

"A very efficient system of wire less telegraphy exists in every hos pltal,' said the nurse. Apparently all patients have the knnck of trans hitting messages, otherwise the news of serious eases would not travel so quickly and accurately from ward to ward. It is contrary to the rules for hospital attendants to retail gossip, and most of them d5 observe strict secrecy, yet notwithstanding that pre- c.Ition there is never an interesting

 Last week a boy suffering from q ,Jcculiar kind of throat trouble was brought into a first floor ward. The doctors were very much interested in the case. yet they took special pains never to mention it in the hearing of another patient But for all the good their caution did they might as well have leetured on the case in every ward: for when the boy died men and women all about the hospital said to the nurses:
 So that poor boy died, did he? l guess there wasn't much hope for him from the start
 Now, how did the news travel?'

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

Il have suffered from the same
trouble painful finger nails) at differ.
ent periods of my life. The first time
of its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, l asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inf1amma-
ton and suppuration began at the base
of the finger nail. Sometimes 1t was
so painful that 1 had to use poultice
to induce suppuration. After the pus
was discharged the swelling would go
down until the next period of inflam-
nation, possibly not more than a week
or two afterwards. These frequent in
Examinations resulted in the loss of the
nail.
Perhaps ten years later, 1 began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again I tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor OF
a friend of mine, who had suffered
from like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for time, but 1t was
not a permanent cure; next, tried q
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that l could not use it.
l began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. l had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. l did not use
the Soap exclusively, but rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base Of the
nail every night thoroughly, and as
often beside as could. l had not used
1t but a few weeks before my nails
were better, and In a short time they
were apparently we'll. There was
no more suppuration. nor inf1amma-
ton, the nails grew out clean again.
One box of Cuticura Ointment was all
that l used in effecting cure.
