My little six-months old girl had Eczema.
We used all kinds of remedies, but she kept
» getting 'worsc. I' used to wrap her hands up,
,and to dress her, bad to put her on the table.
I could not hold her, she would kick and
scream, and, when she could, she would tear
her face and arms almost to pieces. Four
boxes of CUTICURA (ointment), two cakes of
CUTICURA SOAP, and CUTICURA RESOLvENr
cured her, and no traces are left.

Augustus \Vinkler has sent word to
this office that if the thié‘i’es that have
stolen a. quantity of choice flowers from
his wife’s grave, in Joe’s Hill ceme-
tery, will call at his house he will glad-
ly give them equally as fine plants
from his garden if it will insure the
safety of those placed by loving hands
upon a grave. Not only the flowers
have been taken but- the entire plants
in several cases.

hearers.
Don, a. large yellow dog owned by
John Fickett, of Noroton, was shot and
badly wounded, Saturday night, by
chicken thieves, who entered the hen-
nery and stole several fine fowls. The
dog followed them for some distance,
evidently making it so lively for them
that they shot him in self-defence, af-
terwards escaping with their plunder.
Several of the neighbors heard shots
fired and the dog’s cry of pain. Don is
a noble animal and Mr. Fickett is justly
proud of him.

EAT BEFORE GOING TO BED.
The Cause of a. Number of Deaths In the
Civil War.
Illustrative of how nostalgia becomes
a. serious matter the following instances
are related:
One man from the colored troops on
the fighting line who came wit-h the
first detachment was not wounded,
but only stunned by the explosion of
a shell which had fallen near him.
There was nothing the matter with
him but the shock to his nerves and
homesickness. He spoke to no one.
He would take no food, and he sat
huddled together on his out, looking
out from the open files Of the hospital
tent with a face full of unspeakable
loneliness. Every morning when she
came to the hospital Mrs. Marsh
would bring'him some little thing
which she had prepared for him at
‘home; little by little she wakened ‘his
interest and finally he was dismissed
from the hospital happy and w'élLfOne
of the doctors and the writer were
speaking of this case—\Vard his name
was—when a physician oflsred an il-
lustration of homesickness.
“When I was assistant surgeon in
the army during the last war,” he
said, with an amused nod to the young
assistant listening, “I had an idea that
I knew more than the surgeon major
I suppose all assistants think so at
one time or another, but Ilbelicvc"’thal '
in this case it was true. Otir.-nni._ijor
was a hard man and there was one
case in camp that he had no patience
with. It was a poor chap who .«was
simply dying of homesickness. ]
stopped by him one day where he was i
sitting with his face in his hands, and
I put my hand on his shoulder and
spoke a word or two, and he looked
up. and I shall never forget his look
as he said: “You‘re the first one that
hasspoken a kind word to me since 1
came.’ I told the surgeon about it af-
terwards and he said it was all non-
sense, aud that the man was simply
too lazy to work. I said, ‘He’s not
lazy; he’s sick.’ But the major had
his mind made up, and he hunted the
poor chap out and set him to leading
stuff in the commissary department.
That afternoon I came across him
sitting on a sack of grain with his
' head down, and I noticed the way he’d
slumped forward. I laid hold of him
and found that he was dead. Plenty
of tliem died that way—of homesick-
ness.” -
There was an odd look on the faces
of some of the men on the cots when
the doctor had told his story, as if the '
brief service in Santiago had already
taught them what that sickness meant.

Anecdote of."De Brutlders.“
Every great language has its mock
lingoes and clipped dialects. Dnrky
English, like the grotesque blunder
words of the supposed Mrs. Parting
ton. nearly always has a phonetic sug-
gestion that makes the . speaker‘s
meaning laughably clear. The fat old
cook in Lynchburg. V:I.. who corn-
plaine'd that her son “Sam‘s goiu‘s on
is conjurln’ his institution and dis-
riptin’ us all,” had the word “disrepu-
table” echoing round somewhere in
her head. She made herself under-
stood and there was piquhncy in her
new verb. The Rev. Egcrron ".It.
Young describes one of his evenings
in an African church in Florida.
where the minister announced “8.) fus‘
chapter of the Epistle 0’ David.‘ and
proceeded to read the First Psalm.
One fiery young exit-otter in the meet—
ing. with exemplary good taste, con-
fined his remarks to those of his own
age.‘
“1's nufiin to say to-night." said he.
“to disrupt de feelén‘s o’ yous ole dad-
dies an’ mummies. but 1’s jcs’ goin'
, tcr consummate dcm sinners back (hit
by do do‘.”
At the close of one service a pastor
called attention to the rain soaked and
stained plaster in the recess behind the
pulpit, which he had long tried in vain
to persuade his shiftless parishioners
to fresco, and he pronounced his ulti-
matum in this .wise: “Bredren, de
suvices in dis church will all be, dis.

This Is a Good Rule for Thin People Who
Wish to Grow Stout.
Here is good advice to thin peopleI
who want to grow fat. It seems con.
trary to all our early training, but is
full of good common sense, and comes
from a prominent physician. His sug-
gestions follow: '
“If you are thin and want to put
flesh upon your bones, eat before go-
ing to bed for the night. Physiology
teaches us that there is a wasting
away of tissue while a person sleeps,
as well as when he is awake, and this
being so there should be continuous
nourishment. Food taken at dinner or
in the early evening is always digest-
ed at the time of retiring, and the ac-
tivity of the process of assimilation
continues until long after we are
asleep.
“If the tissues are not nourished
they are pulled down by the wasting
process, and as a result sleeplessness
ensues. On a full stomach. however,
or with some food to sustain the sys-
tem, there is a building up of the tis-
sue. -
“Man’s the only creature I know of
who does not (1 cm it proper to sleep
on a full stomach. The infant, in this
respect, instinctively cries to be fed
at night, showing that food is neces-
sary during that time as well as
through the day, and that. left too
long without it, causes a discomfort
Ewhich it makes known by crying.
“There is no need for rest in the di-
gestive organs, provided the quantity
of food eaten is not above normal dur-
ing the twenty-four hours. Too long
intervals between meals are bad for
Ithe stomach. from the fact that the
cessation and rcsmnption of work by
the digestive organs tend to enfeeble
them.
”“A moderate working of the organs
through the twenty-four hours is much
more beneficial. I would advise those
suffering from insomnia to take some-
thing to eat before going to sleep al»
ways. A glass of milk 'aud bread.
meat, or any digestible food will do."
