At times I thought 1 would scratch my self to pieces. My face and arms were covered with large red patches, so that I was ashamed to go out. I was ad vised to go to a doctor who was a spe cialist in skin diseases, but I received ! very little relief. I tr«d every known i remedy, with the same results. I ! thought I would never get better until a friend of mine told me to try the Cuticura Remedies. So I tried them, and after four or five applications of Cuticura Ointment I was relieved of my unbearable itching. I used two sets of the Cuticura Remedies, and I am completely cured.

J.— “It is with pleasure that I add my testimonial to your already long list —hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of this valuable medi cine, LydiaE. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound. I suf fered from terrible headaches, pain in my back and right side, was tired and nervous, and so weak I could hardly stand. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta ble Compound re stored me to health like a new person, and it shall always have my praise.” —Mrs. W. P. Valentine, 902 Lincoln Avenue, Camden, N. J.

Smart brides of the season are discarding the time-honored white satin slippers and are wearing instead the fetching little white satin mules which the dlrectolre costumes have brought in ttieir wake. These tiny apologies for foot covering are adorned, when intended for a bride, with a co quettish bit of tulle an a tiny spray of orange blossoms, for which the tulle forms a background. Becauso they are Immensely becom ing and the newest caprice of Mine. Modish, the mules are destined to be popular, and the bride does not confine herself merely to white satin ones, but orders them in other colors to match tlie evening gowns in her trousseau. Carry Prayer Book. Fashion decrees that the bride shall carry a prayer book to the alta, and tills must be no ordinary one, but hand bound and an exquisite specimen of the craftsman's art. In tlie back of such a book blank pages are inserted for data regarding the marriage—tlie name of tlie church in which it occurs, tlie date, the signa tures of the officiating priest and of the witnesses. Such a prayer book Is not only a beautiful work of art, but a priceless treasure to the bride, who gives it to future generations—an heir loom to be used by other brides of the 1 family. Certificates on Vellum. There is a fad, too, for having the marriage certificate preserved in ar tistic form. Brides who can afford it order their certificates handmado on j vellum, the printing and decoration be ing done in illuminating work, which Is glorious In color and lends Itself to a wide variety of decorative schemes. There are two methods of preserving thi3 lovely specimen of handcraft. One Is to keep it in a handsomely embossed leather envelope or casing, made for the purpose, and the other Is to frame it. Most brides prefer the latter treat ment, for the framed certificate makes a most ornamental article for the wall I of the boudoir. Satin Cases for Toilet Articles. One of the daintiest accessories of i the up to date trousseau is the multl 1 piicity of perfumed satin cases to hold all the minor pieces of the toilet. These j cases are' of white satin exquisitely ! embroidered and lined with soft white ; silk. They are wadded, of course, and - abundantly perfumed with the favorite j I sachet of the bride to be. Made in dif I ferent sizes and shapes, they are tn : tended for veils, gloves, handkerchiefs, | ties, and some of them are quite ca ; paciouB in order that smnller articles | of lingerie may be put Into them. Buying in Small Amounts. From the Philadelphia Item. The man who runs a grocery and fruit j store with a meat market attachment in a light housekeeping neighborhood is al j ways sure of his share of funny experience | cs,” said a man who has just that sort of i Job up in upper Manhattan. “These light housekeeping customers 1 take more of our time in proportion to the money they leave with us than any other class, but they keep us so amused, and they are usually so young and pretty and Jolly, that we never think of really getting | inad at them. Buying steak to fit the skillet is a light houskeeping proposition we’re often up against. What we call Delmonico steaks i are the best for this, and they’re favor-1 ltes with all the women who play the light housekeeping game. Wo tako the1 bone out and skewer the steak up so it’ll j Just fit their pan, and they go off smiling, j One girl brings in a plate just the size of | her skillet, so we make the steak fit the 1 plate. We get so used to selling ‘Just two chops,' that we take a small purchase like that as a matter of course. “I remember the day before Thanksglv- j Ing a pretty little thing came in with her tape measure. She said she wanted to buy a small turkey. The turkey must be Just the size to fit into a pan which just wrent Into her oven, and she’d brought along the tape measure to make sure. 1 told her I’d never seen such a small edi tion of our national bird chicken. She was a good deal disappointed, but we found a fine chicken that went into the pan with a couple of inches to the good. Then she hau me look over a big basket of sweet potatoes to find some nice long, slender ones, because she wanted them to Just fit around the chicken in the pan. She bought Just four. “Cheese is another thing the light housekeeper always goes slow on. They'd rather buy a few cents’ worth every day than have a crumb left over for a stray mouse to nibble on. Lots of stores object to selling less than a pound, but when « pretty girl appeals to you for ‘Just five cents worth’ and perhaps to make up for it plunges recklessly and gets four egga and a quarter of a peund of coffeo at the same time—who’d have the heart to re fuse her? “These hair splitting calculations aren't often necessary on account of the lack of J money, but just because there’s no place 1 to keep leftovers.” THESE REFORM DAYS. Jim—Old Grafterleigh, for a politician, teems to be working and worrying a lot, Jack-Yes, he's trying to deliver th1 goods and yet not get caught with theml The Lesser Evil. The young wife of a Philadelphia man, who la not especially sweet- tem pered, one day approached her lord touching the mutter of $100 or so. "I'd lilce to let you have it, dear,” began the husband, "but the fact is I haven't that amount In bank this morning—that is to say, I haven’t that amount to spare, inasmuch as I must take up a note of $200 this afternoon.” I "Oh, very well, James," said the wife, I with ominous calmness. "If you think I the man who holds the note can make i things an-" hotter for you than I can— ! why, do as you say, James I” tiha got the mauey- * I Doughnuts or Crullers? From the New York World. Once more the dispute arises in print iis to when it is a doughnut and when a cruller. The issue Is a vain one, largely local. If you eat the real thing in New Eng land, with coffee at breakfast time or with cider in the hayfleld at noon, it is a doughnut—unless it is a fried cake. In New York doughnuts aro few, and if they • oine from the baker's they may Just as well be called crullers as anything else. Nothing like them would go with a dona tion party in Maine. Mrs. Borer, Mrs. Christine Terhune : Herrick and other authorities accent the | importance of the deep dish for frying I doughnuts. It does not seem to matter I for tHe other things. Doughnuts, accord | big to the "White House Cook Book," can he nicely brewned and cooked Inside in 10 minutes, while "five or six minutes will cook a cruller." A little time works won- , ders in such a matter. Consulting tho "Consolidated Library of Modern Cooking," we find that for dough- i nuts the dough should be rolled out in j l ings or small balls, While for crullers | the rulo is to "cut in squares, cut slits with jagging iron and braid together*' , Our grandmothers made raised dough nuts, which we seldom see. Sometimes they put in allspice, which is, like mo lasses in baked beans, a matter of taste. Tho doughnuts mother made in Boston or Kennebunk, fried on Saturday, were good for a week if the boys let them last, which they usually did not. Bakers’ crul lers In New York must he fresh every morning. Keal doughnuts are good with cheese or maple syrup. Nobody who has eaten them considers it dignified to take crullers seriously. Fawns Arc Prey. From the Denver Post. Caught in the deep snow and surrounded i by coyotes, 13 deer were killed one after the other. This and many other stories of the killing of game by coyotes were 1 told by Frank (2. Stanley, volunteer of- | fleer of the state Humane society, who cams in from Hot Sulphur Springs this morning. | Hundreds of fawns are overcome by the coyotes, which are becoming more 1 numerous each year, he says. All sorts of small birds, grouse, sage hens and even heaver are destroyed In great numbers. The piles of feathers and the signs of struggles In the snow t«*11 mutely the story of the hardships endured by the feathered colony, as well as the deer. Mr. Stanley will take the matter up with the game commissioners, and an at tempt will bo made to have the legisla ture place a bounty on coyote scalps.

It Is amazing what a capacity for liquor some men possess. And the man with a large capacity is actually proud of it. Could anything be more foolish, more sinful?' "Then, with a chuckle, Mr. Sankey told me about a beggar he had once helped. “The beggar had a rod nose, and Mr. Sankey gave him 20 cents, suying at the same time: “ 'Mind you, now don’t get drunk on this.’ "The beggar laughed.
