"Our little daughter, when three , months old, began to break out on the head, and we had the best doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any good. They said she had eczema. Her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at once got a cake of Cuttx cura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cutlcura Ointment. -Then she began to Improve rapidly and In two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. She Is now sixteen . years of age and a picture of health. .We used the Cutlcura Remedies about five weeks, regularly, and fhen we could not tell she had been affected by the disease.

When a person feels this way about Postum they are glad to give testimony for the benefit of others. A school teacher down in "Miss, says: "I had been a coffee drinker since my childhood, and the last few years It had injured me seriously. "One cup of cofTee taken at breakfast would cause me to become so nervous that I could scarcely go throueh with the day's duties, and this nervousness was often accompanied by deep depression of spirit3 and heart palpitation. "I am a teacher by profession, and when under the influence of coffee had to struggle against crossness when in the school room. "When talking this ove? with my physician, he suggested that I try Postum, so I purchased a package and made it carefully according to directions; found it excellent of flavour, and nourishing. "In a short time I noticed very gratifying effects. My nervousness disappeared, I was not Irritated by my pupils, life seemed full of sunshine, and my heart troubled me no i longer.

Past thirty cops I hurry down, I bump o'er ruts and ridges; I scatter havoc through the town And flash across the bridges. I see the red light's warning glow, But do I heed it? Never! For men may come and men may go. But I tear on forever. I rattle over stony ways, I crash through traffic's jumble. And end their troubles and their day? Who hesitate or stumble. With many a curve I, somehow, get Around the drays and busses, And do not stop to feel regret Because some teamster cusses. I hurry, hurry, crouching low; I try to jump the river; For men may come and men may go, But I tear on forever. I flash about and in and out, A thousand dangers daring: I hear the mad policeman shout, But have no time for caring. And here and there I gladly break A sneedinc street car's fender: I never hesitate to take A chance, however slender. I lay old men and children low, I make the horses quiver; For men may come and men may go, But I zip on forever. I tear through lawns and grassy plots, I crash through leafy covers, I crush the sweet forget-me-nots And cripple happy lovers. I slip, I slide, I skid, I glance, I scorn the bumps and hollows, I sound a too'; and take a chance, Too gay to care what follows. ' The public wants me squelched, I know; But do I mind it? Never!

The Quest oIMiyer"] ~\ r;- ..J" Vast walls of rock, with irregular peaks, dark against the radiance of morning skies, and in the wall of rock a deep cleft, over the brink of which in sheer silver descended the unending torrent of the falls. Among the giant boulders at Its base swirled ebon floods, mingling their tumult with the mighty roar of the falls, so that never, at any hour of the year,' in that place, was there silence, wherein a bird's song might be heard or the voice of the wandering wind be audible. This was the mountain home of the river. Here was the green gloom of lichened rocks, the gray of dizzy ledges, where here and there a slender tree found foothold. Her6 was the weather-worn steep over whose jagged edges the white clouds sailed, seemingly so close that from the summit one might almost think to touch their luminous folds. Here rioted the rain and the sunshine, the winds and the winter storm; and cradled in the heart of these lay the torrent, the wiM Intrarfahlo nhilrl nf tho hJlla And the torrent said: '"Lo, here is mystery and solitude and grandeur, and in the deep solitude, a voice that calls to me; and in my heart there is a deep unrest, a desire born of my strength to De off and away over the world." For the torrent in its eagerness was as the heart of youth fretting against the barriers, and was fain to be free. And with wild and untamed turbtflence the waters rushed over the boulders, broke through the masses of rock, and swept down from the rugged heights with echoing Hot and roar, in brown tumbling volumes and silver veiling of foam, as a heart that exults in the glory and greatness of youth. Then the clamorous voice of the torrent became as a voice forgotten. The gray rocks were left behind, and among the mossy boulders were layers of golden sand. The wild roar of the water became as the glad, low sound of laughter, and over the ripples and sparkling eddies fell the soft shadow of fringing grasses. And still the eager waters flowed onward with laughter and song untfl the mountain solitudes were lost in the shadows which were aa mists on past years. Beyond lay the unexplored region of valley lands. In the vivid green of the grass shy flowers opened, and down upon the wide levels the blue sky ched its serenity. By night the golden stars looked down and saw themselves reflected in the clear waters, and a silence fell, wherein the lilt of the river grew wistful and. soft and appealing, as the joy note that voices the heart of love and of longing. And the river said: "Lo, here is the valley of peace, where strife and tumult cannot enter. Here in the warm sunshine, under the veiling grasses would I abide awhile, save that from the starlight depths of the darkness and over the meadows there steals to my neart tne ecno of a voice which calls me onward, and in my heart there is not rest." For the river was as a soul on the journey of life, knowing not the beginning nor the end thereof, yet following with imperfect obedience the irresistible voice of the Infinite. And on the silence arose the sound of a song, lilting and joyous as the echo of the river's mountain song, and the river rushed onward with outstretched arms; and, with the glad laughter and hurry of his native wilds, there bounds into his embrace a swift, impetuous stream. And the tides of the growing river and the i rippling stream were mingled into one, as tne hearts of two who have sought each other are brought together and made one in love. And there was a deeper note in the voice of the river and an added joy in his song, soft and sweet as the cadence that voices the joy of love, the only true joy of the world. Then the great forests threw their shadows over the murmuring waters, and over the seedling grasses swung the gossamer blue of hairbells. Forget-me-nots flung their lovely clusters at the river's feet, aau in the green arcades of the overhanging branches were the tender songs of the thvushei and the soul-song of the nightingale, like unto which there is no song. And the river whispered: "Now in this lovely land shall my heart find rest, for unto my life is another joined and we twain are one; therein ! lies completeness; now is the time of j joy and the fulfilment of my desire!" j And the stream answered: "Lo, for this also came I down from the i mountain; surely for thee was my | longing, and now in our union shall gladness be perfected." And a whisper stole through the tremulous branches, and a low note j of unrest stirred'in the fitful voice of . ^ the wind. Through the loveliness . and upon the inner silence stole the j t echo of a far-away voice, unto the j j appeal of which the cry of the waters 1 awakened responsive, and with one j, accord came their answer: I "Ah, not under the soft shadow cf . the leaves nor in the beauty of the j flower-land, nor in the joy of our ; union lies perfect fulfilment of desire, J . for there echoes within our hearts the | t unquieted voice which leads us on- ! ward. Lo, go we forward, yet undivided, on the unknown quest!" ^ For in the heart of the rivers there dwelt the unsatisfied unrest which is j as the'divine unrest of the soul in its j . wayfaring, finding in love the reflec- . tion of joy, yet not the fulfilment j , thereof. I c Beyond the chequered shadow of J *" the forest flowed the waters, beyond | the rainy marshlands, where the j rushes invaded their silver quietness, j whispering the unutterable secrets of j a j the winds. And the tides of the two c. rivers were as one and knew no de- ^ viation, so that to those who passed they seemed but the deeply flowing current of one broad and mighty * stream. Their harmony was as one ^ voice; for upon the heart of the rest- ^ less river had fallen a great calm, like the peace that falls as a. benediction upon the wayfaring soul on the borderland of the City of Rest. The fever and hurry and rush of the long T journey lay behind, and beyond lay J j the wide, sandy levels broadening unto the mighty sea. And the river said: "Solemn and c | sweet and near within my heart I c hear the voice which has called me from tho cradlc of the mountains, from the grandeur of the hills and the solitude of the wilds, from the mystery of the moorlands and the frail and lovely ponder of the meadows. , Lo, I come, with the song of the wind and the dream of the forest, I and the joy of my love. Lo, I come, r yielding unto thee my all, O Sea!" c And the , glory of the sunrise lay s upon the river, ineffable as the light b which shines on the soul when the a shadows of the earthly are being c lifted; for the wayfaring of the river e was as a day of toil gone by, and be- t yond was the infinite rest.?The v Christian Register. e "ODIC" FORCE 50 * YEAES AGO. ?

Prompt Answering of Invitations. Promptness in all matters conlected with social life is undoubtedly me secret of popularity, for procrasinating persons not only often frusrate the plans of hostesses, but they nsinuate a doubt of the desirability if the invitation received. For it is rue that human nature is enthusiasIc and usually prompt to reply to rhat pleases and dilatory in affairs phich appear dull. Therefore when here is tardiness in acknowledging ,n invitation, the woman who sent it taturally wonders if the recipient onsiders it undesirable. Now, such ,n idea is an Unpleasant one for those /ho entertain to conceive, for in the uture persons who inspire it may not >e asked tc dinners, etc. To acknowledge an invitation in he mail following that which brings t is none too prompt, and as a rule an be done. Naturally a woman ometimes must wait to consult her tusband as to whether the time suits lim, but should he be out of town, o she cannot hear from him on the aine day, she should refuse or accept he invitation without consulting him .nd adhere rigidly to her word aferward. If she finds her husband has made , previous engagement he must break t, for she cannot upset a hostess' ilan by failing after accepting the in 'itation. Should a woman refuse, ind find later that her husband can ;o, she is not at liberty to retract ler refusal. Incidentally a woman is lot supposed to accept for herself, ind decline for her husband, or vice ersa, when both have been invited.

Also, who presents the gifts to the bridal attendants??T. ai H. Z." s< A rehearsal of the proces&on the day before a church wedding is frequently gone through to avoid mistakes at the ceremony . In all details jr the rehearsal must be the same as for the event, and there is no doubt. n that the practice improves the artis- g tic effect. Brides are late at the church, and nrohaVilv nltc.iva will hp. SO it is not safe to say that the bridegroom and his best man should leave the robing room and proceed to the steps of the chancel at the moment the ceremony ^ is to take place. These two important personages are not with the bride, for the bridegroom meets his future wife in the church. He does not go there with her. The safest way of " preventing a delay is to have some one stationed at the door who can signal the two men when the bride ar- ^ rives. At such signal the bridegroom, followed by the best man, walks to the centre of the chancel steps and faces li the church to await the arrival of the bride. She by this time should have ? started down the aisle to the chancel, A * AnAln Viam Ar TTQQ1 Ck UlLXC X1UC/1J UilU^CU uarn v/ L T?U1 then shape into small balls; dip g yolk, then dredge with cracker brown in deep hot fat. Serve on a though she is the last of her procession. Heading it are the usher3, walking two and two. Directly behind them are the little flower girls and then the bride&maids, also walking two and two. The maid of honor walks alone, directly in front of the bride, who is escorted either by her father or the male relative who is to give her away. When she reaches the chancel steps she drops her escort's arm and takes her place beside her intended husband, the father or relative staying behind at her left. By this time the bridesmaids should have grouped jj themselves at the left, with the flower girls in front, the ushers at the right. R) The best man's place is just behind, ^ at the right of his friend. The father stays until he gives the bride away, when he steps back to a seat in the front pew. The maid of honor has no duties save to hold the bride'sbouquet, which is given to her before plighting the troth. After the ceremony, before J? the bride faces the church, the maid of honor returns the bouquet and puts back the veil from the bride's face. Leaving the church the order of e procession changes. The little flower girls start flrBt, scattering flowers as they walk, and directly behind are f< the newly married couple. The maid e of honor and best man are side by side just behind them, and then follow the ushers and bridesmaids, each man walking with a girl. b Having taken the bridesmaids tc the door, the ushers return singly and b begin to escort the invited guests tc li the doors.
