Read this: it “When my baby was four Weekslold, scrofulous eczema broke out on his body. He beCame literally covered with Spree When six months old the breaking out healed on his body, but his head, face and arms were a terriblesight. I passed many sleepless nights holding his little hands to keep him from scratching his face. I cannot tell what hesuffered with the sores. One doctor attended him a year without ’ avail. No one thought he would ever get well. He was almost a ,year old when I - commenced to give him Hood’s Sarsapa-‘ rilla. He soon grew so much better that .eured I was able to rest at night. Gradually the sores on his head and arms healed, the blirning and itching ceased, and he slept better. In 2 months he looked like an- other child, gained strength, was cured. I recommend all persons afflicted with eczema or any skin disease to take Hood’s sarsaparilla. I feel assured that it will do wonders for others. I cannot praise _ it too highly for what it has done for my ' poor little sufferer. It is hard to believe he is the same child, he is now such a... big, hearty, fat boy, a very picture of health. If more people would give Hood’s Sarsaparilla to their children, there would not be so many poor, delicate little ones.” Mas. AGNES C.

Whogis sentimental nowadays? Men always were ashamed of showing them- selves so. They eschewed tears and hid their feelings under a mask of stolid- indifierence. Now women have follow- ed their example. A brusqueness and brutality of speech has taken the place of sentiment and softness. Women have ceased to indulge in tears, they will soon lose the power of emotion, and the resources of such a safety valve to sorrow is considered out of date, to look grieved a sign of pover- ty of intellect. Children sit dry eyed at a touching play, and their mothers re- mark on the admirable way the dar- lings behaved. ' Possibly those who have no sentiment suffer less from life’s rubs, but then again, surely they lose a great capacity for happiness. A world without senti- ment may be prosperous, rich and com- fortable, but will inevitably prove very dull. —Philadelphia Press. THE FACE LINES. Some Interesting Facts About the Story Told by the Features. A single vertical wrinkle between the eyebrows shows strict honesty in money matters. Economy broadens the nose, making it rather short and thick above the nos- trils; it gives in age a broad double chin. Lines extending downward from the angle of the mouth toward the chin, when marked, show a tendency to sad- ness and melancholy. The lines raying outward from the eyes show capacity for enjoyment as well as the two deep furrows framing the month by the upper lip. The for- mer are the penalty we pay for mirth and form the future channel of the tear. , When one has short vertical lines in the red parts of the lips strongly marked ‘ 'they indicate a capacity for friendship. If the lips be full, the chin well devel- oped and square, one has much vital power over others, a strong capacity; for loving and self reliant Spirit. FLASHES OF HUMOR.

Hoshi Tom, the newly appointed Minister from Japan to the United States in an interview on political and economic questions, said: Japan has made wonderful progress in all lines of manufactured products, - but I do not think that the country can be called a. rival of the United States. Our factories are still in their Infancy and it will be many years before we can really be said to be competitors of the United States. As regards the recent war. I do not believe that the war feeling has entirely died out; what you would call patriot~ ism is still manifest throughout the country. As regards Korea, it is true that both Russia and Japan haVe a watchful eye over it, but it is an independent coun~ try. The relations between Japan and Russia are most friendly. America, and by America I mean the United States, has always had a warm place in the hearts of the Japanese and we have fer everything pertainingto the United States a most warm and en- thusiastic feeling. There is no danger in the world of Japan becoming a foe to your industries. SWISS SCHOOL LAWS ARE STRICT. They Are Also Sensible and Tend to Make Good Citizens. Primary education. is compulsory throughout Switzerland, and no mercy is shown to people who attempt to keep their children away from school. In' Solothurn are not even allowed the option of havingtheir oifspring edu- cated at home or in private institutions, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Considera- ble trouble is taken, however to ar- range the school hours with due re- gard to general convenience. In sum- mer the classes begin at 7 o’clock in the morning; thus, when the children have done working with their heads, they still have time enough to work with their hands. They have their holidays, too, in the autumn, so that they may be able during the harvest to help in the fields. Not only is "primary education free, but in poor districts food and clothing are distributed at public ex- pense among such of the children as need them. PETS ON BOARD SHIP. How Rare Birds and Animals Come to This Port. Sea captains who come to this port have the fondness of their fellows for odd pets. The skipper of one of the slower trans-Atlantic, boats has a tame dove who keeps up a perpetual cooing in his cabin. Goats are the favorites on board the Mediterranean tramp steamers. Besides, their milk and flesh are much esteemed in a pinch by the sailors of Southern Europe. Quite a brisk trade has grown up out of this penchant for collecting animals and birds in the travels of officers and men. There are several shops near the bridge that rely chiefly on the contri- butions of the tars for their stock curi- osities. Naturally most of the pets come from Asia and the South Ameri- can and West Indian ports, and 80 the shops are located along the East River wharves where the vessels from those ports are docked. ‘ So . Says Was Misinformed. Humor has a way of cropping up in the most unexpected places, and news- paper men, probably because they have more to do with the world than other people, their business being to tell the world ofthe world’s doings, have seen this fact demonstrated time and again. The other day the city editor of a New Orleans paper heard that a prominent citizen had dropped dead, and he promptly assigned one of his reporters, a quiet, dignified man, to go to the res- idence and secure facts from the fami- ly of the deceased from which to build an obituary. The reporter reached the residence in due time and, compos— posing his features until they had as. sumed an expression of preper sadness, rang the bell. The door was opened be a. gentleman, who asked what was wanted. . “I am the representative of the——, said the reporter, “and I want some facts about the life of Mr. So-and4 So.” "What do you want with them?” “We wish to publish his obituary. He dropped dead an hour or so ago.” “Well,” said the gentleman who had answered the hell, “he may have done so, but that’s the first he has heard of it. I am Mr. So-and So.”—New Or- leans Times-Democrat. U Cannibalism in Africa. Cannibalism has been surprisingly lit- tle discussed in books of travel. , We are told that in such and such a district Cannibals are to be found, but we hear . no details, neither how the flesh is pre- pared, what joints are preferred, nor to what extent the practice is prevalent. Capt. Hinde‘asserts that nearly all the tribes in the Congo basin are or have been cannibals, and that the practice is on the increase, not merely for supersti- tious reasons,.but also for the provision of food. There is a certain sturdy, fat race in Africa, which has never been famous for its proweSs, but which is made a regular staple article of diet. Whole cargoes are constantly carried up the river and sold to thenatives for food. Inquiries for a fresh supply of natives are often accompanied by the complaint that “meat is scarce just now.” Timely Resistance. There is one kind of courage much needed among us. and which is happily on the increase, that of resisting thoée social observances which have ceased to bring either pleasure or profit to tiiose who maintain them. They are often defended on the ground that if not use- ful. they are at least harmless; 'but this is only a plausible delusion. Whatever fails to bring good. of any sort forfeits” its right to exist. If, in no other way, it is injurious ,by simply obstructing the path, which,'if left clear, might be put to some worthy use. p . SUMMER GOWNS NOW. White the Dominant Note If Dress Deco- , ration. Published by special arrangement with the New York Sun. The distinctive features of summer dress, so far as developed, are ‘hotso strikingly different from those of last season as to play any great havoc with the old gowns, and the process of' reno- ‘ vating them up to the standard required by fashion is a simple one which cannot fail to be a success. It is an easy mat- ter to remodel a large sleeve into a smaller one, and there is not enough difference in the cut of the skirts to he- cessitate any change. There is the same lavish use of lace and all sorts of jeweled and Spangled trimmings, and Persian embroideries of many soft col~ ors woven together with charming ef- fect. Added to these are the universal use of ribbon and chiffon in all the plain and flowered varieties, and the extended demand for ecru batiste in new and pretty designs wrought out in colored silks and gold thread, while the new lace stripes are more elaborate than ever. ' t __,..-finfl"|p¥“ «4 White has been the dominant note of dress decoration all the year,'and it is evidently quite as popular this season as ever. It is the thin gowns of grass linen and all sorts of wash materials which are the interesting points on fashion just at present, and the most attractive dresses for all-round morning and af- ternoon wear are those made of linen batiste. The material is patterned in every conceivable color and fancy, which add much to the expense; but very pretty gowns are made of the plain grass linen, with a plain skirt. and sleeves, and a simple blouse waist of the embroidered batiste, which is the only decoration except the ribbon collar and belt. The blouse style of bodice in all the possible variations, either with or without lining, is the prevailing model for the dresses; while 'for these thicker materials, such as linen canvas, duck, and pique, there is the ever-popular coat, which has devel- oped varieties heretofore unknown. , ‘ , Among all the frivolities of fashion there is nothing quite so illustrative of the extravagance of the age as the fanciful ruches for neck wear and the miniature shoulder capes which are diSplayed in great variety in the shOps. All the new sleeves which do not terminate near the elbow are cut long enough to fall over the hand in points or with a. flaring cuff, and usually have the frill of lace to soften the effect. Ribbons of every color, either fancy or plain, are a feature of all thin gowns, and black satin is effectively used for belt,‘ collar, and epaulets on very sheer batiste dresses made over apricot or orange tafieta silk; cream lace edges the epaulets, and the belt is wide and has a. bow and long ends on one side. Sashes are to be worn by young women with the thin gowns, and Roman sashes of soft t villed silk and subdued colors have appeared again. ._ a' season, and, while the tinted grounds are the newest, the white muslins, with large bunches of flowers almost cover- ing the surface, are quite as popular. They are made up elaborately over silk, or very simply with a white lawn un- derskirt out just like the dress and trimmed with a lace-edged ruflie. Nar- row edging and insertions of Valen- ciennes lace are the trimmings most commonly used, but wider laces, very yellow and fine; trim some of the more dressy gowns. Peace Guaranteed.
