'- Terrible
EECZEMA
My baby suffered from terrible Eczema.
‘ Doctor and every remedy tried, to no account.
' lie cried all the time and his face was like
: raw meat. I had to carry him on a pillow,
and was fairly discouraged. I used half a
box of CUTICURA (ointment) and CUTICUBA
SOAP, and in one week my baby was entirely
cured. To-day his skin is as smooth as silk.

THE FRIGATE BIRD.-
lt Lives in the Upper Air- aml Sleeps Upon
the “link. ‘
The frigate bird is endowed-“with
magnificent powers of flight. 'His wings
stretch to an expanse of about ten or
twelve feet; his body is about three
feet in leng-th;,his bill is very powerfulf
and his feet are webbed, but very
small; but for these he has but little
use, as his home is in the air, hundreds
of leagues away from the land.
He is seen soaring high above the
ocean; but on its bosom he never rests.
When he seeks repose, he finds it aloft.
His foot rarely .touches land, except
at the time for pairing, making nests
and rearing young.
The expanse of his wing is so great
and his body is so light that he can
scar with little or no exertion. Still,
it is difficult to see how this would en-
able him actually to sleep on the wing,
as it is believed he does. .-
A closer examination shows, how-
ever, that his bones are hollow, and
that there is a large pouch communi-
cating with his lungs and with the
cavities in the bones. This pouch he
can inflate with air, and thus render
himself buoyant; the sustaining power
thus acquired, added to than; of' the
wings, is sufficient to keep him up.
If his home be in the air, if he neith’i‘
dives into the sea for fish, nor searches
cm the land for other food,- whence
does he derive his sustenance? Im—
pelled by hunger, he descends from the
lofty regions where it is his delight to
Whether the sea be rough or
calm, he glides along over the water,
and any unwary fishapproaching the
surface is pounced upon instantly and
swallowed. ,
But the bird has other resources;
though he cannot dive into the sea to
catch fish, he avails himself of the
labors of birds that can. He watches
one of them; sees it come out of the
water and fly off with its lppey. At once
the frigate bird is down upon him with
a swoop of terrific velocity. The
.: frightened diver drops his fish in mid-
air'; the frigate bird poises himself
again, darts down with another swoop,
"and seizes the, fish ere it reaches the
water. '
. CURE FOR HICCOUGH.
Accomplished by Pulling u“, Tf'nglto
Several Times a‘Minmv. "“ ’ '
In the last year a number of cases
' of prolonged and frequently fatal hic-
coughs‘ have been reported in the news—
'papers. Often, without any warnihg,
persons of good health have stavrtedv'nto
hiccough, and have kept it up for weeks
without cessation; until 'theiexhaus’tion
proved fatal.~ The'physicians 'in charge
have tried many 'things as remedies,
but, as a rule; failed to accomplish any-
thing tdw’ard'éontrolllng the disease: '
2- Professor: Lepin’e, ‘of‘Ly'tms, France,
has at last discovered a cure.‘ A yoiiilg
soldier had contracted, the disease, hd
wasrapidly'losing' strength. '
' The new remedy; consisted in pulling
the tongue several“ times 'a. minute,
keeping it outside the mouth, and their
lettfng it slip back again. This faith;
fully'kept'up produced a. cure insidéi‘of
twenty minutes. "’"Hl'ccough, when. o‘or‘l.
tinned, is a: serious ‘diseaSe of the res—
piratory centre in the brain. These
rhythmical tr’actlons on the tongue
seem to affect the respiratory centre in
a peculiar way. There is, a. bunch "of
nerves at the base of the tongue which
communicates directly with, the nerve
centres in the brain. When the brain
centre is inactive it may be stimulated
by pulling the tongue. It is inactive in
cases of suffocation. .
If a baby does not breathe properly
when born, if the tongue is systemat-
ically pulled a few moments the baby
will begin of its own accord to at-
tempt to breathe. 'Pulling the tongue
also helps by clearing the throat.
In cases of drowning it has been dis-
covered that pulling on the tongue ten
or fifteen times a. minute acts as a more
certain and powerful stimulus than any
of the old methods, such as rolling the
subject on a barrel, hanging him up-
side down from a meat hook, or ”pump-
ing” him with his arms, or blowing into
his lungs—Golden Days.
Parlez-Vnus Telephone \Vanted.
“We used to have the best fellow in
our employ that I ever knew,” declared
the head of oneof the biggest telephone
exchanges in the country. “He could
place more telephones than any other
half dozen men in our employ, and I’ll
give you just one sample of his shrewd-
ness.
“There was a wealthy old Frenchman
with large interests that we: wanted as
a patron. After all the rest of our solic-
itors had called upon him we sent our
best man. He learned that the French-
man thought the telephone a great in-
vention and a great money saver, bu“.
he could not be _made to understand
that it was adapted to any other-lan-
guage than English. He had to con-v
verse in French with manypf his busi-
ness friends and employees.
“All the others had tried. to convert
him, but “0in Slick," as we
dubbed him, took the other tack and
bumored the old_ gentleman. .He at
once assured hifh that we had French
receivers and transmitter‘s, and imme:
diately put up a temporary line, to
show that he was not misrepresenting
goods. When French was sent and re:
ceived over the wire the result (is?
lighted the man of Wealth, and ‘Oin'
actually sold two sets of telephones-
(one‘for English and one for French)
for a dozen places where they could be
made useful in the old‘man's business,
charging $5 apiece more for the "French
than for the English. ~It‘v’rgls'six months
before the. Frenchman discovered that
he had a’ superfluous 'lof ofrtelephones
on hand.

years ago an abbot of Glastonbury was
ordered to give up the title-deeds of
the property that is now called Mells
Park, and was then the prOperty of the
abbey at Glastonbury, or else to lose
his head. The abbot naturally felt that
his life was of greater value to him
than the property, so despatched the
title-deeds by a faithful and trusty
mesSenger called Jack Homer. But
for greater security he placed the doc-
uments in a pie which was to be .de-
iivered untouched into the hands of the
authorities. ’Jack Homer however
was seized with hunger not unmixed
'with curiosity on his journey, and
opening the pie took out the docu-

and putting the title-deeds in his pack:

the abbot is not known, but the title-

the Homer family until at last they
became owners of Mells Park.
