I had an attack of Eczema, and ordered a
box of oxide of zinc ointment. The first
application changed the Eczema to hell-fire,
which seemed unquenchable. The druggist
had used a rancid aerate and I was poisoned.
A local physician did not help matters, and
everything either failed to help, or made it
worse, I was becoming desperate, when I
thought of. CUTICURA REMEDIES, and dis-
patched my servant for a cake of CUTICURA
SOAP and a box of CUTXCURA (ointment).
The first application relieved me and In three
days I was well. ’

OUTWIT‘TING A TUTOR.
flow Pennington Got- Ell Shirts Lann-
dered at the Professor’s Expense.
The mode of life was simpler to
those days than now, but the same
humor which still makes collegians so
comic v'effervesced fifty. years ago.
When, for example. . William Pen-
nington, son of a former governor of
New Jersey, and himself afterward
speaker of the National House of Rep-
resentatives, seemed next door to Sen-
ior Tutor Topping. at Princeton. it
was the custom for each man to hang
on the outside knob of his door the
bag containing his soiled clothes for
the laundry. Pennington'stuh‘ed his
own shirts one day in Tutor Topping’s
bag. and waited for the day when the
clean linen was returned and laid out
on Topping’s bed. Then. knowing
that two of the young tutors were in
Topping’s room. Pennington knocked
at his door. On entering be put on
an embarrassed air. as if besitating
to speak in the presence of the other
tutors.
Topping. in a lofty way. said:
“These gentlemen are my friends; I
, have no secrets from them; say what
lyou wish." Pennington still hemmed
; and hnwed. but again urged to speak,
: blurted out: “It is not my fault, Mr.
iTopping; I did not want to say any-
. thing about it now. but, as you insist.
I must ask you to please return the
shirts I lent you, as I am in need of
them.”
Topping’s rage and horror at being
thus addressed before the younger tu-
tors, who looked np to him as a “ling-
nus Apollo.” may well be imagined.
He began to upbraid Pennington. who
interrupted him by saying:
“It‘s no use, Mr. Topping. trying to
deny the fact. I see the shirts there
on'the bed with your other things!”
The tutor stood aghast. but Pen-
nington stepped to the bed and pick-
ed out his own shirts marked with his
name." '
, The Trimmed Skirt.
The trimmed skirt appears to ad.
vance more rapidly and more generally
in favor than the draped or overskirted
styles. There are more overskirt ef-
fects, simulated by various modes of
adjusting frills, pipings, flounces,
ruches, and other fashionable gar-m.
lures, than there are genuine double
skirts. Panels of silk or of another
fabric introduced on either side of the
front of a. skirt or princesse dress
make a very effective and becoming
trimming for short women, a far bet.
ter arrangement than any mu 0,.
flounce going round and round the
skirt, as the panels at each side add not
a little to the appearance of height.
'l‘lso Den-est Population.
The greatest density of the popula-
tion in the world is claimed for Bom-
bay,,and is only disputed by Agra. The
population of Bombay amounts to 760
persons per acre in certain areas, and
in these sections the street area only
occupies one-fourth of the whole. It
the entire population massed in tho
streets for any purpose. the density
would equal 3,040 persons per acre.

he came home on a. dirty, crowded,

his patriotism at the beginning of the
war by presenting to the government
a battery fully equipped at his own
expense.
Foolish Whims.
One of the very foolish whims of
fashion followed mostly by young girls
in society—who do not yet fully value
their possession of almost perfect com-
plexions—is the discarding of any sort
of parasol or sunshade in their day-
time drives, beach walks, mountain-
cllmbing, etc. “It is the thing to do,"
ergo, no parasol; and entreaties on the
part of watchful mothers and chaper-
ones are worse than useless. Another
fiat of fashion has gone forth—veils
are to be abolished. Already ultra-
fashionable women have discarded
them, but the majority will temporize
by wearing the veil much shorter, or
otherwise will have to defy the auto.
crat altogether. This is the most
crucial test of fidelity to fashion Which
has been made, and the result will be
awaited with considerable interest by
those who believe that all fashionable
women will follow whither fashion
leads.
Red Tape In Russia.
Every time a Russian Minister leaves

journey, besides the Council of the
Empire, the Cabinet of the Emperor,

the Governors of Moscow, Varsovle,
Kleff, etc., and infinitum, to all appear.
ance. When he returns the same min.
ute notification performance is gone
through. So each Ministerial departs
uro from and return to St. Petersburg
involves an issue of some 200 notices.
There are eighteen Ministers, and
taking three journeys as the average
for each, we have at the end of the
year a grand total of some 10,800 on
