"My son had eciema on his hands for about ono yet Tho eczema started with a rash. His hands wero soro so ho could not close them, and when he wet his hands they hurt him so ho could hardly wash. His hands itched and burned just terrible and if ho .would scratch them, thoy would break out into sores. Ho could not get any rest or sleep, and hi3 hands looked quite bad. "Wo had medicino and salvo and it .kept getting: worse all tho timo. I got iomo Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and after washing his hands with tho Cuticura Soap and putting some of tho Cuticura Ointment on two times a day and tying cloths on them for about six months they got well and havo not broken out since.

Address post-card "Cuticura, Dept. L, Boston." Adv. Accelerated Brain Activity. In the early days of Wisconsin, two of the most prominent lawyers of the state were George B. Smith and I. S. Sloan, the latter of whom had a habit of injecting into his remarks to the court the expression, "Your honor, I have an idea." A certain case had been dragging along through a hot summer day when Sloan sprang to his feet, with his remark, "Your honor, I have an idea." Smith immediately bounded up, assumed an impressive attitude, and in great solemnity said: "May it please the court, I move that a writ of habeas corpus be issued by this court Immediately to t?Ve tho learned gentleman's idea ou' of solitary confinement." Popular Magazine. Diplomacy in Smaii Things. Little Elolse Cave, aged seven years, was visiting her grandmother in MadiEon, Va., and was sent to carry a saucer of ice cream to a neighbor. By the exercise of infinite care she conveyed her burden safely to the house and gave it into the hands, of the lady for whom it was intended. The lady, however, was less careful than Eloise had been, and dropped the saucer and broke it. "You needn't mind about that," said the little diplomat, without an instant's hesitation. "I don't think grandma has a cup to match the saucer. If she has I will go right home and break it myself" Popular Magaziue. Suspicion continues to snoop around until he finds what he is looking for.

IN PREVAILING STYLE SHORT CHAT ON THE FASHIONS OF THE MOMENT. Frocks; Are Longer, Though Not to Any Marked Extent "Fur" Shades Have Displaced Black and White In Millinery. Frocks, as a general thing, are longer. The trotting frock clears tho ground well, but is not exaggeratedly short and all- other frocks touch, though their narrowness often makes them roll up when the wearer walks, so -that they do not really look long, writes Florenco Fairbanks in the Chicago Evening Post There are a good many trained frocks too; tho trains usually separate from the narrow underskirts and most frequently square, though rounded, pointed and fish-tail trains all appear and are likely to trail off at almost any angle instead of falling demurely in the back. Unevonness of skirt bottom lino is one of the features of the now modes and has been the subject of considerable experiment during tho summer. Many of the cleverest drapery schemes demand such unevenness, and a skirt revealing" the foot and ankle at some point where the drapery is lifted or where the skirt is opened up a little way no longer seems unusual. Black and white, so long the supreme favorite in millinery, has been displaced by the newr "fur" shades which promise to bo a veritable craze this autumn. These shades, which in 1 aria are called "eclipse colors," Include seal brown, mole, fawn, taupo and all the grays from pearl to dark metal shades. The ordinary felt hat is at a discount these days, for most of the striking fall models seem to be made of silk, velvet or fur, or of all these materials combined. Rarely is a hat made of Dne material only. If it is, it is sure to be trimmed lavishly with some othbr fabric. There is an unusual variety of fabrics used in fall millinery, including sorded silks. These are in charming two-colored effects and in metallic 3ombinations, like gold and silver, gun metal and copper, brass and steel. in some of these fabrics uncut velvet Hi imitated to perfection, while others ire quite heavily ribbed, looking more ike corduroy or Bedford cord. Moire :n black and all leading dark shades vill be profusely used. Maltine hats are great favorites, and ire shown in black, white, corbeau blue, copper, forest brown, combinations of peach and black, old gold and aational blue, turquoise and white, and black and white. Boat Hat Is New. One of the most distinctive of the autumn hats is the new "boat" hat, which is small, with a rounded crown of medium height and a brim that turns up abruptly, the greatest height being at the back, where it is three or four inches deep, gradually lessening toward the front, where it makes a sharp angle like the prow of a boat. Velvet and moire are the materials most favored for this hat, which bids fair to gain in popularity. AN AUTUMN HAT The close fitting shape with brim rolled at the sides is one of the new autumn models. The high square crown is surrounded by a fiat stiffened band of satin, and trimmed in front with a flat bow of velvet holding two smart wings. . Favorite raincoats are on nainsook lines, some having the belted back and f.djustable collar. Some recent models are only seven-eighths long.

TAILOR-MADE WALKING SUIT

Copyright, 1912, by Underwood & Underwood, N. T. Tho plain tailor-made walking suit is much in vogue this fall. The picture shows a tailor-made suit of brown mixed Irish frieze with very little trimming, but showing numerous buttons, the most striking feature of this season's tailored suits. Sunset Symphony. A wonderful symphony of color is a gown of Indian crimson silk veiled with terra cotta chiffon, the Indian crimson breaking out here and there in the form of embroideries or pipings. Yet again, an interesting and beautiful dress is of chestnut cloth embroidered in amber and purple and trimmed with fur-brown marabout. It has a short skirt, edged with marabout, and is thus suitable for outdoor wear in the afternoon. For this purpose a long coat accompanies it? of sable brown velvet, faced all round with a broad band of marabout, and lined with amber satin. A toque of marabout goes with the costume, with a plume at one side taking up the bright "and dark brown, amber and purple, and adding a touch of the most brilliant red as well. FASHION'S IDEAS IN COLORS Many Pretty New Shades, Though Care Must Be Exercised In Their Selection. . This is tho time of year when colors change just as hats and gowns. Court blue is one of the latest. It is a cross between electric and gendarme. Taupe has shed its brown tinge, and has acquired a tint like elephant gray. One of the prettiest blues is blue vig, a deep and yet bright shade. Shrimp is the favored pink. A glorious red which looks extremely well with white is called rouge Venitian. Chalk white is in vogue. Amaranth is a claret shade. Caramel is another pretty edition of brown. Verdigris is one of the smartest greens. Mimosa is a yellow that verges on orange. Petunia is the successor of the fuchsia medley, with the purple an3 red tints predominating. New Hat. A rather large and very smart type of hat which is being worn by welldressed women, is of a good make of white felt, and is shaped something like an Inverted soup plate, the brim being turned down all around. This is trimmed wUh a rather broad ribbon in bright Coalport blue with a black "stippling' at the extreme edge, while the same shade of blue in fine straw provides the lining of the brim, and makes a pretty frame to the ac ot the wearer.

REVIVED AFTER HANGING. ReiuRcltatior after hangln Is not uncommon. In 1705 a housebreaker named Smith was hung up at Tyburn. A roprieve came after he had been suspended for a quarter of an hour, and he was taken down, bled, and revived. Ono William Duell, duly hanged in London In 1740, was taken" to Surgeons' Hall to be anatomized, but came to life again, and was transported. At Cook a man hanged in January, 17C7, for a street robbery, was immediately after hurried to a surgery, where an incision was made in his windpipe, and he recovered and went to the theater the same evening. After Fauntleroy, the banker and torger, was executed in 1824, there waa a widespread rumor that he had escaped death by tho Insertion in his throat of a silver tube which prevented strangulation and that on being reStored to consciousness he went abroad and lived for many years. London Chronicle.

(STATE-AIDED ATHLETES. Sweden is the only country in which tho practice of athletics among adults is state aided. Tho Swedish National Union of Athletes has, since its foundation, received an annual subsidy of 20,000 crowns ($4,500) from the government. The union bestows gold, silver and bronze badges on all who attain a certain standard in athletics. In order to encourage the continuance of training in later life these badges are bestowed according to age as well as proficiency. The gold badge car. be secured only by men over thirtytwo, who can swim two hundred meters, take a long jump of . five meters, put the weight sixteen meters and run ten kilometers in fifty minutes. This performance has to be repeated annually in order to retain the badge. "NEEDLE IN HAYSTACK." 'A bottle of hay" was formerly much used in Derbyshire, England, and probably is so still, to denote a bundle of hay, which was taken from a rick to fodder cattle in a field. When it was difficult to find anything that had been lost, the farmer folk were wont to say; "You may as well hunt for it as for a needle in a bottle of hay." Sometimes the rope tied around the hay had a piece of wood with an eye in it at one end, through which the rope was' passed to tie up the bundle, and a sharp point at the other end, and this piece of wTood may have been called a needle; if so a needle of this kind may have been referred to in tlie proverbial saying. Ave Marie WOMAN'S LONG LIFE. One of the most remarkable instances of long life was that of the countess . of Desmond. This merry widow died in 1694, having survived her husband, the twelfth earl, seventy years. She retained her faculties to the last, could walk ten miles a day until a week of her death, at the age of 140, and, according to the inscription on her portrait at Muckross abbey, Killarney, "in ye course of her long pilgrimage renewed her teeth twice." The countess appeared likely to beat all records for longevity, when, relates Sir William Temple, "slic must needs climb a nut tree to gather nuts; so, falling down, she hurt her thigh, which brought a fever, and that brought death." DEAN SWIFT AND ASPARAGUS. Asparagus was a great dish wiin Dean Swift. Dining with him one day, George Faulkener, the Dublin publisher, asked for a second helping of his favorite vegetable, but Swift pointed to the stalks on his guest's plate and said: "Sir, first finish what is before you it What!" exclaimed Faulkener, "eat my stalks?" "Aye, sir," bellowed the imperious dean; "eat your stalks, or you will get no more. King William III. always afce his stalks." Asked once, when he was telling the story, whether he really did eat his stalks, Faulkener replied: "Yes, certainly; and if you had dined with Dean Swift you would have been obliged to eat your ßtalks, too." Dundee Advertiser. COINS OF A BRIEF REIGN. The civic museum of Bologna, which is rapidly becoming one of the richest collections of medieval historic records in Italy, has just become possessed of a double golden scudo coined at Bologna in 1591, during the phenomenally brief reign of Innocent IX., which lasted two months and one day. The double golden scudi are the only coins known to have been turned out during that period. The engraver was Alexandra Menganti, wrho has, been called the unknown Michaelangelo. So rare have the scudi become that only three specimens are known to be in existence. Christian Science Monitor. FELL AT UMERICK. Workmen engaged in excavations near St. John's cathedral, Limerick. Ireland, discovered some human remains, including a perfect skeleton, which, however, became disjointed shortly after exposure. The bones are supposed to be those of soldiers of the army which laid siege to Limerick over two centuries ago. The burials were 4 ft. below the surface, and were presumably those of officers and soldiers of note, as they were apart from the great body of the slain who were interred after King William of Orange's unsuccessful assault on tho city.

SCBAP

300K CAUGHT BY LETTER BOX. Last winter a well-known Vienna lawyer went out to post a letter. lie was wearing a large signet ring on tho litle finger of his right hand, and as he pushed the letter through tho slit of the letter box this caught and held his hand r.ist. All erTorts to release himself proved fruitless. Within 10 minutes the whole. street was blocked by an enormous crowd and he was the center of a storm of chaff. The police had to come to the rescue to keep the people back, but they could do nothing to release the prisoner. Not even the police dared meddle with a letter box. It was not until authornty had been obtained from the head postoffice that workmen were allowed to unscrew the box and take It to pieces and to release the unfortunate lawyer. The Strand. ADVERTISING BY AIRSHIP. A novel form of advertising ha3 just been inaugurated by a largo retail trading firm In Berlin. Every other evening a large dirigible balloon files over the leading thoroughfares of the city. Magic lanterns, placed on each side of the car, project advertisemets of the various goods on to a sheet of canvas fastened to the envelope of the balloon. These advertisements can easily be read from the ground below. The attention of the people in the streets is attracted by the noise of the engine and by powerful searchlights, which are turned on in the car, between each advertisemnt. The sensation caused by so unusual a sight in mid-air can be easily imagined. VEGETABLE ELECTRIC BATTERY. Scientists tell us that there has been discovered in the forests of India a strange plant which possesses in a very high degree astonishing electric and magnetic power. The hand that breaks a leaf from it receives instantly-a shock equal to that which Is produced by the conductor of an inductive coil. At a distance of six meters a magnetic needle is affected by it. The energy of this singular force' varies, but in times of storms its intensity increases in striking proportion. One never by any chance sees a bird or an insect light on the electric plant; nature seems to warn them that they would find their death. Christian Herald. JAPS AND AZTECS. A party of Japs blown across the Pacific in a gale, after fearful privations landed on the American coast and were Immediately arrested for landing without Inspection. That seems a rather unreasonable enforcement of the law. By the way, the incident seems to confirm what the Japanese scientists har-3 claimed, that the original Aztecs of Mexico wrere Japanese who had been driven to this country in a gale and in the course of generations founded a race. Relics of the Aztecs in Mexico bear witness, say the Japanese scientists, of kin to a similar religion and customs held by the Japanese in their early history. SHALLOW NORTH SEA. The North sea is so shallow that a vessel can sail from London to Hamburg in water not more than 120 feet deep, except for one short stretch. If this depth could be decreased one-half that is. the bottom of the North sea raised sixty feet the island of the Frisian shore would be linked together in an even coast line, a belt of land ten miles broad would be added to the Danish coast, a multitude of low Islands would spring up off the English and Belgian coasts and a great island .would rise up in the Dogger bank. BEES IN ENGLISH CHURCH. Several thousand bees and a store of honey weighing, it is estimated, at least a hundred weight, have been discovered among the rafters of Roxeth parish church, Harrow. During the recent hot wreather members of the congregation noticed honey trickling down a wall -of the church and this led to the discovery of the bees and their store. The honey was afterward removed in pailfuls and the bees were hived elsewhere. London Chronicle. AUSTRALIAN WOMAN JUDGE. Miss Nancy Isaacs, whose appointment as associate to her father, a high court judge in Australia, we recently chronicled, has just taken her seat on the bench. The press is inclined to be eulogistic on the way In which she performs her duties, and Bhe has been especially congratulated on her manner of administering the oath, which is said to stand out in sharp contrast with the prosaic and careless method with which that ceremony Is usually performed.
