ECZEMA'S I
ITCH iS TORTURE.
Eczema is caused by an acid humor in j
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and inflammation
; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off; sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any
form is "a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other external
applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
. it will keep the skin irritated.

Shoud Preachers be Admitted to Sick ,
Room?
The Rev Dr. Richard Harcourt,
pastor of the People's Methodist
Episcopal church of Reading, Pa,
has created a sensation both in that
city and Baltimore by contending
that miiirstarB of the gospel should
be excluded from the ?ick room.
He took bbat position in a recent
address to ;he graduating class of
the Baltimore University of Medicine.
Last Sunday night, in a sermon
delivered in his own church, he said:
; "Yes, I was correctly reported as j
saying: 'Young doctors, the pres- j
ence of a happy, cheerful man or
woman in a sick room may prove a
benediction, while that of a longfaced,
sepulchral- voiced Christian is
almost certain death."
, "The very presence of the minister
in the sick room is?cause for alarm."
Dr. Hartcourt said Sunday night.
His solemn countenance, his tone of
voice, his tiptoeing around the sick
bed, is a grave cause for slarm, but
when be approaches the patient, and,
with sad countenance, looks into his
face, feels his pulse and then heaves
a deep sigh and says, 'Let us have a
few words o? prayer,' such a dose of
ministerial ministration is enough to
1 11 *1 1 .. !l _ 4
mane a weu man sicx, ana no aocior
can overcoma its effects/'
' Id another part cf his sermon the
doctor remarked:
"I fully believe thst many deaths
have been hastened by the unwise
visitation of the ministers at a critical
time. The sick room is not a place
to prepare for death. Not one reform
in a hundred brought about in a sick |
room is genuine. Our methods as
ministers in dealing with criminals
who are to be haDged or electrocuted
( are enough to bring the Christian
re'igion into contempt."
In conclusion he said.
'TT aV_ * i ? iL - I f. J
j\eep me minister, me long-iactu |
sepulchral voiced minister out of the ;
sick room. Let him grapple with j
men in life. This will try his grit
ard grace, but keep him frcm takiDg
advantage of a man in the hour of
his weakness when unable to defend 1
himself."

IMcLAURIN APPEALS TO CABINET
__
And President's Advisers Agree to Send 1
Exhibit to Charleston. i
Washington, April 23.? By request 1
of Senator McLaurin the cabinet today
discussed the question of loaning 1
to the Charleston Exposition the ex- 1
bibits to be made by the government (
at Buffalo. All the cabinet officers 1
desired to permit this loan and it :
was agreed that the loan should be (
made if there is no provisions of law 1
against it. The Charleston exposi- 1
tion will pay the expenses of the ex '
hibit and the government will do
nothing but make the loan. The
president and cabinet were glad to
do this much for Charleston, which
failed of any provision for its exposition
during the closing hours of Con- \
gress.

His Offenses.
Washington Post.
Mr. McLaurin's offense consists of
having voted for the ratification of
the Pari* treaty, and in speaking in
favor of the ship subsidy bill. Sapport
of the treaty was an act of the
highest patriotism, and if the American
merchant marine is ever re-established
and fulfills its mission, no section
of the Union will profit more
than the South, no State of the South
more than Sou'h Carolina. What,
then, is all tbia pother about? Why
should not McLaurin?a young man
and powerful one?vote and speak
in accoidanca with his opinions?
Because such a course brought him
in touch with the Republicans on
those two propositions? Mr. Lamar
once offended the Democrats of Missippi
by refusing to vote in the senate
for cheap money. But his is
one of the proudest names today in
the history cf that State. He had,
as"Mr. McLaurin has, the courage of
his convictions. Oa large questions

One On The Old Man.
"Do you know what my father
would have done if I had been
caught doing such a thing," asked
an irate Memphis father of his little
son.
The latter did not consider the situation
at all alarming and said in a
rather jocular manner.
' You must have had a pretty bad
daddy."
This cool, sarcastic manner nettled
the old gentleman all the more and in
his less of temper he exclaimed.
' Well, sir; I want you to distinctly
understand that I had a better daddy
than you'll ever see the day to have."
