BOY'S TERRIBLE ECZEMA. Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts Hand3 Pinnod Down Miracu lous Curo by Cuticura "When my little boy was six months old, ho had eczema. The sows extend ed so quickly over the whole body that we at once called In the doctor AVe then went to another doctor, bul lie could not help hltn, and In our de spair vy went to a third one. Matters became so bad that he had regular lioles In his cheeks, large enough to pul a linger Into. The food had to be glv cn with a spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as a tin icv, and whenever lw opened the houlh thoy began to bleed and sup purate, as did also his eyes. Hands, nrins, chest and back, in short the whole body, was covered over and over. We had no ivst by day or night. Whenever lie was laid in Ills bed, wo had to pin his hands down; otherwise lie would scratch his face, and make nu open sore. I think his face must have itched most fearfully. "We linally thought nothing could licln, and I had made up my mind to KcjU my wife with the child to Eu rope, hoping that the sea air might curo him, otherwise he was to be put under good medical care thyrc. Hut, Lord be blessed, matters came differ ently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We made a trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Kesolvent, and within ton days or two weeks wo noticed a decided improvement. Just as quickly ns the sickness bad appeared it also began to disappear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, nnd his skin was smooth and white as never byfore. F.

"Success Magazine. A PAGAN SURVIVAL. rho Ciintom of I.IkIiMiik Fires on Mtu.niniiticr live of Old Orlctn. There is little doubt that tho custom f lighting fires on midsummer eve is I f eastern origin. Those who watch the Irish peasants driving their cattlo etween two blazing piles, or see tho young men leaping over the glowing embers, ns the bonfires slnklowernmld the brief darkness of the midsummer light hardly fall to be reminded of that 'passing through the fire to Moloch," lo strictly forbidden to the Hebrews, lays Longman's Magazine. Whole families pass solemnly between two Ires, or spring backward and forward ver the flames. True, the simple country folk imag ine thoy are performing these mystic rites in honor of St. John the Baptist, for early missionaries, llnding it im possible to prevent their converts keep ing tho pagan festivals, transferred them to the saints, nnd midsummer ivas assigned to St. John "the light to lighten the Gentiles" Instead of to Baldur or Baal, and tho bonfires were called "Teine bhcll Hlon" (John's Qres). Some say that the fires were trans ferred from May day or "Beltane" mother important festival held by tho Irish, Scotch and British Celts in honor of Baal, or Bolus to midsummer; others, with more probability, assert that the two festivals wore quite dis tinct. However this may be, May day Is still called "Boaltlne" or "Beltane" In both Ireland and Scotland. Sometimes a bono Is laid in the heart &f the blaze doubtless it represents the original human sacrifice; in fact, tome derive the word "bonfire" from this practice, others say it is not bone, but boon, bene, or tho French bon, be snusc groat virtues were accredited to tho midsummer fires. In the west f England, where they lingered till recently, they wore known as "blessing tires," nnd in almost every part of Europe, thoy were supposed to bring food luck, and abundant harvest and freedom from disease both to man and boast an idea which is not yet ex tinct in Ireland.

In nil my years no thirsty lout For drink of me has cried And from my overflowing spout Has gone unsatisfied. The children, rioting from school, Have sought my dripping spout. Whence sparkling water, clear aud cool, In torrents gushing out, Brought thirst a comforting eclipse With its refreshing draught, And ah! the sweetness of their lips Pressed to ino as they quaffed. Then, speeding onward to their play, I heard their merry cries, And like the tears that drip away In gladness from tho eyes, Tho cool drops flowed and trickled down My iron cheek to see How from far corners of the town Tho thirsty came to me. Tho dusty yokel, worn and tasked, Tramped to me from tho road, Gripped hands with me, and all unasked The grateful waters flowed. The cup held by its clanking chain Ho lifted oft and drained Its crystal waters once again, And some new vigor gained. And, nh! thoso patient beasts that brought Their noses to my tank, When the red sun beat fiercely hot, And drank, and drank, and drank With mighty draughts and deep until My labors were nigh vain To give them drink enough and fill My water tub again.

Ceoraro V. Under Tell How Knt unit How lo ArtHlmlltite. Dr. Cioorgy F. Butler, medical super intendent of the Alma Springs Sani tarium. Alma, Mich., In the October number of "How to Live," gives some interesting as well as sensible rules for aciiulrlng and keeping health. Ity says: "Without we eat and drink, we die! The provocative to do both rests with the appetite, which, in process of time, becomes a very uncertain gulcly; for tho palate will ofien Induce a desire and relish for that which Is most mischievous nnd Indigestible. The old saying of 'eat what you like' Is now shunned by everybody of '20 years' ex perience. Still, without appetite, it is a wry dlfllcult affair to subsist for tho pleasure depends chiefly upon the relish. The relish may become, as has been stated, a vitiated one, but It is quite possible to maky the stomach, by a little forbearance and practice, ns enamored of what Is wholesome and nutritious as of that which is hurt ful, and not concoctlble." Again he says: "The delicate should feed earefully. not abundantly: it Is not quantity which nourishes, but only that which assimilates." "Be careful of your digestion" Is tho keynote of tho doctor's argument. He pays: "Health In man, as In other ani mals, depends upon the proper per formance of all the functions. These functions may be shortly said to be three: (1) tissue change; (1!) removal of waste; (3) supply of new material. For the activity of man, like the heat of the lire by which ho cooks his food, Is maintained by combustion; and Just as the fire may lw prevented from burning brightly by Improper disposi tion of tho fuel, or Imperfect supply of air, and as it will certainly go out if fresh fuel is not supplied, and may be choked by its own ashes, so man's activity may be lessened by Imperfect tissue change, and may be put an end to, by an insufllcient supply of now material and imperfect removal of waste products. "We should sue to it thnt free elimi nation is maintained, for the ashes must he kept out of the system in or der to have good health. The skin, kidney and bowels must do their dimi nutive work properly. If tho bowels occasionally become torpid, try to reg ulate them with exercise nnd proper food, such ns fruits, green vegetables, salads, cereals, corn, wholo wheat or graham bread, fish, poultry, light soups, etc. Plenty of water Is also valuable, and a glass full of cold or hot water tho llrst thing upon rising In the morning will aid much In over coming constipation. Regular habit, cold baths and massage are very elll- caelous. In case tho constipation does not ylvMd to thoso hygienic measures, some simple, harmless laxative may be required, such as California Syrup of Figs a non-Irritating preparation of senna in llg syrup Laxative min eral waters aro beneficial in somo cases, but not to bo employed contln unlh "Above all be an optimist, keep the heart young. Cultivate kindness, cheerfulness and love, and do not for get that 'we shall pass through this world but once. Any good tiling, there fore, that we do, or any kindness that we show to any human being, let us do it now. Let us not deter it or neg lect it, for we shall not pass this way again.'

Let tho greatest athloto have dyspepsia and his muscles would soon fall. Physi cal strength Is derived from food. If a man has Insufficient food ho loses strength. If ho has no food ho dies. Food Is con verted Into nutrition through tho stom ach and bowels. It depends on tho strength of tho stomach to what extent food eaten Is digested nnd assimilated. People can dlu of starvation who havo abundant food to oat, when tho stomach and Its associate organs of digestion and nutrition do not perform their duty. Thus the stomach Is really tho vital or gan of the body. If thu stomach is "weak" the body will ha weak also, becauso It Is upon tho stomach tho body relics for Its strength. And as the body, considered as a whole, Is mado up of its several mem bora and organs, so tho weakness of tho body us a consequence of "weak" stom ach will bo distributed among tho or gans which compose tho body. If tho body U weak becauso it Is Ill-nourished that physical weakness will be found in all the organs heart, llvor, kidneys, etc. Tho liver will bo torpid and Inactlvo, giving nso to biliousness, loss of appetite, weak- nerves, feeble or Irregular action of heart, palpitation, dizziness, hendaeho, backacho and kindred disturbances and weaknesses.
