16 Doctors pronounced case of Eczema incurable, but D. D. D. Prescription cured it quickly. If you doubt it, read this letter from a man whose integrity no one can question, who is the leading furrier of Toledo, O. i L - ' // p iL f Toledo, 0.. March 25. 19M. X>. D. D.. Chicago, 11lGentlemen: I have long been desirous of writing you a letter of gratitude for the happy results obtained from your wonderful remedy. D. D, D.. and I am doing so now with a deep feeling of appreciation, hoping that it may bring the same happiness and relief to other sufferers that it brought to me. » Six years of Intense suffering from a severe case of eczema, to be given upas incurable by sixteen doctors, several of whom were specialists of skin diseases, and then to have tried every known medicine for my ailment without effect, and finally to procure absolute relief and a permanent cure from a new remedy, is an ex-l-erience that justifies my action in making it known to the public; ard I feel that it is my duty to give it as much publicity as possible, so that other sufferers may be relieved. Mr sympathy goes out to those who have to go through What I did, It was almost unendurable, and not only was it a most painful disease, but its appearance was horrible on my face, and for years I went from home to the store and back again, going to no place of amusement or visiting any friends, simply going through a daily ordeal that I could scarcely endure. Worse than that. I was restricted to eating certain things, and any mange from that would greatly increase the pain. My hands and fingernails were unsightly, and I wore gloves all the time. My eyes were swollen most of the time so that I could barely see. and my ears and face had all the resemblance of a raw piece of steak. All this embarrassment and pain and misery have entirely left me. I can now call on my friends, go any place I desire and my business is receiving the attention that it should. When specialists will pronounce you beyond cure, and you are advised to seek another place of residence. and leave your established and profitable business, is it no wonder then that I should write you this letter? Thanking you again, and wishing your great remedy continued success, believe me, I am your grateful friend. ’ ROBERT SUSSMAN. If you are suffering the tortures of the damned don’t hesitate, but go TODAY, NOW, to your druggist and invest *I.OO. It will not be an expenditure, but an Investment In happiness. D. D. D. Prescription I* guaranteed to cure or money refunded. • Write the Medical Department, D, D, D Company,Chicago, f »1 free consultation and advice,” Rni’t’a. Yasor PnlF

DUST IN OUR EYES. nt Times Coilwt Cnriom Thln«r» Without Looking For Them. Few people are aware, says Fred tv Saxby in the S;r: .1 that we ere ail *■ .t.siitiy ”<-oih curious things without looking for them: In the very ■ ■ of looking up at the fleeting sp <-taeie of a fiery orb the reader with the big. w.de open eyes mav easily receive in one of his own orbs a tiny sphere from afar that was produced in a glowing streak of light like the one he is admiring. Meteoric dust is ever failing and upon all parts of our planet. The little spheres have been found upon the decks of L.ps far out at sea. In ail the deserts of the earth and on the tops of snow clad mountains Dredgings brought up fren: th ‘ silent depths of the ocean give testimony of their universal presence. The part: -ies al! contain iron and are easily collected by the magnet frem the roof of any outhouse or other place exposed directly to the sky. Seafarers are sometimes pelted with dust of quite a different kind, composed of the microscopic flinty skeletons of beautiful plants called "diatoms." These tiny plants live in both salt and fresh water and occur in enormous numbers in some localities. Occasionally water courses and inundated areas dry up. and the flinty shells of the diatoms which grew there are blown about as dust. There are several instances on record of diatomaceous dust falls at sea. During the thickest part of the fall the sailors have experienced much pain in their eyes, the inflammation being caused by the little flinty shells.

SECRETARY SEWARD. Hi. Influence I pan the Fore.flu Polley ot This Country. The importance of Secretary Seward's influence in the domestic affairof the United States during Johnson's administration has probably been exaggerated, but it would be hard to exaggerate the importance of what he achieved and of what he initiated iu his own proper field of diplomacy. Hiebler. occupied as he was with fierce controversies over other subjects found, we may well suppose, but little time for foreign relations. He does not appear to have interfered with policies which were already adopted or to have initiated any new policies of his own Seward must therefore be held respon- 3 sible to a degree somewhat unusual for the conduct of the deli -ate neg otlations. involving very far reaching consequences, which the war gave rise to It was he who first presented America to Europe in that attitude of conscious strength which the thorough establishment of our nationality at last enabled us to take. It was he who reasserted effectively, yet without any arrogance, our traditional stand in reference to the Latin republics t > the south of us. It was he who, facing westward, accomplished an expansion of our system into a region never contemplated until his day by those who guided our destinies and turned our thoughts upon the shores of the Pacific as a field for American trade and American influence. — William Garrott Brown in Atlantic. The Pole Star. We will try to give you some idea of the distance that separates us from the pole star. As yon know, light travel- at the rate of about 186,000 miles a second—more than seven times round the earth while you are saying “John Robinson” slowly. Well, sup pose that a ray of light, traveling at this terrific speed of a million miles in less than five and a half seconds, had started from the polar star on its journey to the earth at the moment of your birth that particular ray will not reach you until you are more than halfway between your thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh bi. unlays. When you look on the pole star you see it not as it is today, but as it was about fifty years ago. An Australian Treat. A treat in an Australian wilderness camp is thus described by an explorer: “On our way down, of course, it was necessary to stop at McLeod's camp to get something to clear the bronchia! tubes. There was one great Scotchman among the party, who said, when I asked him what his poison was, ‘Weel, I’ll just take a tin of fruit.’ He had a tin of pineapple. Now, the price of preserved fruit at that time and in such a place was something to make you sit up, so that Scotchman scored " The Bran Band. “George!” “Yes, dear?” “Before we were married yon once asked me if I enjoyed a brass band.” “Y-yes, perhaps I did.” “You did. And I said yes. But It seems I misunderstood you. George. My wedding ring is making a black mark on my finger.” “! 1 ’’’—Cleveland Leader. Joy. Joy is one of the greatest germ killers in existence. It is a positive radiant force, irresistible and compelling, before which all discouragements and Ills go down in utter defeat. A good dose of joy wnl do more for you than any tonic or medicine you can name. Where Ignorance In Bliss.

The Flan or Knarland. “I am amazed.” writes an American visitor, “at what seems to be a custom iu England of blowing loud trombone blasts on the human nose. In first raHw.iv t?s, restaurants churches, in the street, one is startled by these sounds, generally explos ve, sometimes sustained. Old men, <*l! dren and delicate ladies seem to be adepts at it. Is it a mark or a sound of delicate breeding?” It is merely an instance of the national manners that differ in spite of g>od communications. Au American is startled at the trombone of the English nose. But the Englishman always has a cold, an 1 that fact sets the note of th» national manners.
