CHILDREN TORTURED.

Girl Had Hanning Sores from Ecmema —Boy Tortured by Poison Galt—• Both Cored by Cntlenra. “Last after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased With the almost Instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician’s prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura .Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we cbmnienced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence bf the trouble. -C H'4 “In July of this year a little boy in our family poisoned his hfrnds and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmont, Walden’s Ridge, Tenn., Oct. 13, 1905.’’

Curious Marriage Custom*.

Wedding customs in Servia, that lit'eliingdom in Europe, are curious bleed from an standpoint. Tor instance, neither the bride nor the bridegroom is the most important figure in a Servian wedding, but the best man takes the leading part. He carefully guards the bride all the day before the wedding takes place, and sleeps outside her chamber the night before the girl is to be married. He wears a big stiff sash made of heavy silk carries a big white staff and a huge bouquet all for himself. There are no bridesmaids, but two godfathers, each of whom presents to the bride a silk dress. After the priest has performed the ceremony the best man takes the bride around the church and she kisses all her girl friends good-by and is finally carried off to the bridegroom, who at last gets hie wife from the hands of the best man. Then the happy couple return to their intended home. Bridal tours are foreign to Servian ideas and only the very rich or the nobility indulge in them.
