Scratched Sf^She Could Not Sleep. "I write to tell you how thankful I am for the wonderful Cuticura Remedies My little niece had eczema for five yc^rs and when her mother died I took care of the child. It was all over her face and body, also on her head. She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. I used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then api plied Cuticura Ointment. I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, together with Cuticura Resolvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she Is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since. My friends think it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. I send you a picture taken when she was about IS months old. "She was taken with the eczema when two years old. She was covered with big sores and her mother had all the best doctors and tried all kinds of salves and medicines without effect ontil we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. H.

A young Calif, wife talks about coffee: "It was hard to dron Mocha and I Java and give Postum a trial, but ray nerves were so shattered that I was a nervous wreck and of course that means all kinds of ails. "At first I thought bicycle riding caused It and I gave It up, but my condition remairted unchanged. I did not want to acknowledge coffee caused the trouble, for I was very fond of it. At that time a friend came to live with us, and I noticed that after he Iaaa ueen wiui us a wees lit; wuuiu uui drink his coffee any more. I asked him the reason. He replied, '[ have not had a headache since I left off drinking coffee, some months ago, till last week, when I began again, here at your table. I don't see how anyone can like coffee, anyway, after Jrinking Postum!' "I said nothing, but at once ordered a package of Postum. That was five months ago, and we have drank no coffee since, except on two accasions when we had company, and fho result each time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night. We were convinced that coffee caused I his suffering, so he returned to Postum, convinced that coffee was an enemy, Instead of a friend, and he is troubled no more by insomnia. "I, myself, have gained S pounds Jn weight, and my nerves have ceased to quiver. It seems so easy now to Quit coffee that caused our aches and ?ils and take up Postum."

On afternoon Apolena came home later tnan usual ana a3tonisnea us all with the news she had heard from the old ladies who kept the "delicacies store." The sweet Seraphiene was to marry her Lazar, who had won 1 a fortune at the "little lottery," it wa3 said. \ "Sit down, Apolena, and tell us all about it," said her father, "and do not flirt about like a mosquito." Thus admonished, Apolena sat down on one of th?rickety chairs and ! drawing a long sigh, began her tale, i to which we all listened in breathless I silence. Seraphiena and Lazar, as all the town knew, loved one another to distraction. But there were objections, as there always are. Lazar was a chimney sweep, and penniless. Seraphiena had a hundred florins, a cow, and a yearling pig. She could look for a better match than poor Lazar. in spite of his curly hair and good looks, said her father, and he kicked the young fellow out of his inn when| ever he met him. Naturally this did not help matters much. Seraphiena and Lazar met behind trees, wept together in friendly shops, and kissed one another unknown to their parents behind the ! paternal doors. Still things looked hopeless for the devoted pair till heaven smiled upon them. Lazar had a beautiful dream! Here Apolena stopped to take breath. "It was a lovely dream that Lazar i had, and he thought to himself, "Why should I dream such a beautiful scene j and near morning? Such a dream i was not sent to me for nothing.' So ! being a sensible lad, he went to see I old pani Mama Barbora, whcf* was j skilled in such matters, and related j his vision." "I wonder he did not go to the la; dies who keep the delicacies store. | They are great hands for hunting out I numbers in the Snar (dream book)." "They are not friends of his. They , tried to persuade Seraphiena to marj ry a glass blower, a sort of cousin to one of their brothers' wife. Any way he went to Earbora. i " 'Ah, my gold boy,' said the old j woman. 'Your guardian angel stood by you when you had that lovely dream. Make a vow to burn a candle, while I go in the next room for my dream book.' "Of'course Lazar took her advice, i ana promised me saint a cancue 01 j two pounds' weight if he should win. " 'Mother, if I should win, I will i buy you a red skirt, such as you never : saw in your life,' said Lazar, and ; they went at it to hunt up the numbers." "He may bo dirty, but he is devout and kindhearted," said the grandfathj er, looking sideways at Matey. "A I ji . r -..i. _ 3 _i. r? ; cenuu* i'Ji a. saiui, a. reu skul iuj I granny. That is what I call well 1 mannered. I know of lads who, if they won four florins at the little lottery, would not buy their loving relations an ounce of snuff." "You arc right, grandfather," said Matey, with a grimace meant for a smile. "And I have even known people to win the four florins, and to get dead drunk, and to have to be carried ] home cn a wheelbarrow by their lovj ing relations. Oh, yes, I have known I such cases!" "Drat ycu both! Must I sit forever 1 on this chair? Let me go on with ' my story, will you? The old woman ! came back with the Snar, and bej twoen them both they fixed the num; bers." I "What was the dream about, ApoI lcna?" asked her father. I "It was about a holy bishop, and tuac vuu kuuvv, iia& uia.ilj uuuiuci&, i and is a very lucky dream. To see a | bishop saying mass is twenty-six and forty-five. To speak with him is a good ending to whatever you have in hand, and counts thirty-two, sixtyone, sixty-nine. But there are a great many other numbers mixed up with I it, that only one skilled in the mat| ter, like old Barbora, can explain. To , make the story short, they found out i the right, numbers. And behold! It i was as eld Barbora had said. His ! patron saint was with him. when he ! dreamed that dream. His numbers I came out. Every number came out!" j "What did he win, Apolena?" asked her father. "Win! Six hundred florins! He can buy a cotiagc now." "Assuredly his patron saint was at his elbow when he set those num: bers!" "Was Lazar an apnstle or a saint?" SoKCU iUUiy*. j ruiiiuuiut'i- urainiw, i something about him in the Evango! Jium." "He was a martyr, a blessed martyr. you idiot!" answered liis grandfather. "Do hold your tongr.c-s," said ApoI Icna, "ar.d set mo go on. Is it for the N) like ot ycu to discuss religious matters. 1 should like to know? 'You should have seen him,' said Miss AIbina to me, "v.!i<ju he saw all his live] ivimbnrs hung up outside the store. He trembled and nearly fell down, and then he rushed to the church, dirty as he was, and threw himself flat on his face before the altar. Some of his comrades dragged him away at last, and brought him home, and ?*r>t him tn wash himself, but he went about like one dazed, they say." "Perhaps now that he b so rich, he will not marry Seraphiena," said the grandfather. "He can make a better match." " Like enough the host of the Golden Calf thought so. for he was one of the first to catch him in the street, they told me." " 'Come w,'th me, Lazar, my boy,' he said. "You and I were always fond of a joke together. Come to the e(j inn; we will drink to your health,'" ? and he led him rway." "What a world this is!" said Matey, suddenly. jn "It is a very good world." snapped ^ his grandfather, "if only there were less fools in it, say I." en "They say," went on Apolena, "that m, when Seraphiena heard the news, in- ?< stead of laughing with joy, she just q( blubbered, and that when Lazar saw her at it, he also went to weeping, and then those two precious idiots wept away on a bench side by side, instead of being glad." "Well, perhaps it was their way of 013 being glad," said Matey. "Was there ever such a dunce as . that boy?" -aid his mother. "Who a ever weeps when they are glad I should like to know?" "He only says that out of perver-. sion! He is like a pig?pull him Dy c| the ear one way, if you wish him to . 6vr iuc ums.. j-jg Here Matey took the hint, and began grunting like a pig. Iri "Well, perhaps, after all," said Ap- an olena, speaking lound, "Lazar may er marry her." 8Cj "Of course the host of the Golden Calf will stick to him if possible, now he is rich," said her father, kick- wj ing Matey to make him stop grunt- ge, lag. of "Well, for my part," said Apolena. gt. "I wish Seraphiena luck. She is a re, good girl, if lanky and marked with inj the smallpox, and she had scoldings and slappings enough before Lazar had that lucky dream. I hope that they may get married." "And still there are people who rid- ? icule dreams, and abuse the little lot- gQ tery," said her father, meditatively. "What will you," said Apolena. "There are still people who believe ? that the world is round like an apple, and that the people on the other . side walk about with their heads, and have their legs in the air! And others, like that professor who came I here hunting vermin, who told us we Came probably fr<?n fishes. There are lots of fools in this world, and one has to hear a lot of nonsense every day. The best plan is to let it go in . one ear, and out of the other." And * Apolena got up, and began scraping potatoes for the evening soup. Baltimore's Oldest People. sk ge By MRS. R. C.

Fascination of the Newspaper. Ey SAMUEL G. BLYTHE. in Leslie's. Newspaper work is essentially a business for young men. Old men cannot last in it, because old men can not stand the pace. And the further truth is that when a man gets old in newspaper work, unless he has specialized, he decreases in value to his employer instead of increasing. The younger you get in, the better it will be for you after you have acquired whatever knowledge you can afTord and are ready to take a chance. I don't know how to get out. I have seen shoals of newspaper men get out into all sorts of jobs, from business down to politics, and lots of them have made wads of money; but they never did belong, anyhow. The real writer never gets out of his game; and why should he, for his game is the best game in the whole world. New Theories of Sleep. An outline of the results of experiments now being conducted in the University of Michigan witn tne odject of solving the mysteries of sleep was made public by Professor R. M Wenley, of Detroit, Mich. According to his statement one long accepted theory is overturned. It has been accepted as a fact that the loss of consciousness was due to a lessened flow of blood to the brain. Professor Wenley says his experiments show that tht size or volume of the brain increases when the individual goes to sleep and decreases when he awakens, and the same is true of the hands and feet. It was noted that in some cases the brain became smaller at first, and then increased as sleep became deeper One of the delicate devices used recorded a "breathing wave" from both the brain and hands and feet. The fall of circulation corresponded very closely to an inspiration and rise to an expiration. Misfortunes Must Conn1. As daily experience makes it evident, said Dr. Johnson, that misfortunes are unavoidably incident to human life, that calamity will neither be repelled by fortitude nor escaped by flight, neither-, awed by greatness nor eluded by obscurity, philosophers have endeavored to reconcile us to that condition which they can not teach us to merit, by persuading us that most of our evils are made afflictive only by ignorance or perverseness, and that nature Ins annexed to every vicissitude of external circumstances some advantage sufficient to m-orbalnnee all its inconvenience.
