A BURNING ERUPTION FROM
HEAD TO FEET

"Four years ugo I suffered severely
with a terrible eczema , being a mass
at sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that tlrno I suffered continual torture
from Itching and burning. After being
given up by my doctor I was advised
to try Cutlcura Remedies. After the
first bath with Cutlcura Soap and ap
plication of Cutlcura Ointment I en
joyed the flrst good sloop during my
entire Illness. I also 'used Cutlcura
Resolvent and the treatment was con
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end of that tlmo I waa able to ho
about the house , entirely cured , and
have felt no 111 effects slnco. I would
advlso any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cutl
cura Remedies , as I know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nennlng ,

ATTRACTED BY THE GOSPEL
Koreans Have Shown Themselves
Willing and Anxious to Hear
the Word.
Rev. C. T. Collyer writes as follows
In the London Christian :
"It la more than twenty-one years
slnco I flrst left homo for the mission
Held. Never have I known of people
being so ready to hear the Gospel as
'nro the Koreans Just now. I have had
the- privilege of doing a good deal of
personal work during the past few
weeks. Without stretching the point ,
I can say I have had personal con
versation with several hundreds of
heathen. Not one , to whom I have
spoken hut has acknowledged that ho
must become a Christian. The young
empress of Korean has not been ma
king good progress with her studies ,
BO It was felt Bho ought to have sorno
young lady companions who are used
to study. A young lady from our
Bchool was chosen for this position.
She has been In the palace less than a
month , but she has found many oppor
tunities of witnessing for her Lord ,
with the result that her majesty has
definitely set ono hour each day for
the study of Christianity , and ordered
that a Bible and hymn book should
be procured for her. It has been my
privilege to order a specially bound
copy of the Now Testament for her. "
Well , Wasn't Ho Right ?
The minister was addressing the
Sunday school. "Children , I want to
talk to you for a few moments about
one of the most wonderful , ono of the
most Important organs In the \vholo
world , " ho Bald. "What Is that that
throbs away , beats away , never Eton-
ping , never ceasing , whether you
wake or sleep , night or day , week In
and week out , month In and month
out , year In and year out , without any
volition on your part , hidden away In
the depths , as It wore , unseen by you ,
throbbing , throbbing rhythmically all
your life long ? " During this pause
for oratorical e'fect a small voleo was
heard : "I know. It's the gas meter. '
Heard Many a One.
The Judge Madam , do you under
stand the nature of an oath ?
The Witness You seem to forget ,
your honor , that I've been married forever
over 20 years.
It seems to make some folks won
derfully comfortable to tell the Lord
Just what they think of ono another.

P fiT 3 DU MIDI
PROPOS of all the present tall
about woman suffrage , lot us taki
n glance at the Inhabitants of :
small village In Switzerland , ot
more accurately , the dwellers 01
the mountain slopes about Cham
pery , In the canton of Valala
that sequestered and chnrmlni
hamlet which lies contentedly a
the feet of Us famous neighbor
the Dent du Midi.
There the sturdy peasant worn
en have solved the "equn
rights" matter to their own sath
faction. Votes were never a fac
tor In the question , but trousers were , and have beci
calmly appropilatcd for tholr own use ; BO It Is a
man's equal In freedom of movement and nttlro , a
least , that the feminine half of the community tem
their herds , cut hay on the almost perpendicular hill
sides , and clamber up and down the stony and toi
tuous paths leading to their mountain homes.
If Americans aio as yet In almost total ignorant-
of this little spot , successfully hidden for years a
the extreme end * of the lovely Val d'llllez , It Is b ;
no means undiscovered , and , owing to the recent
foreign Invasion , these fair traitors to the con
ventional skirt have become as shy as the
proverbial chamois , and one must seek them upon
their own heights during the summer season ,
when the new electric tramway which has sup
planted the old-tlmo diligence renders this vil
lage almost too accessible to the ever-growing
tourist army.
En route from Italy , one leaves the Slmplon
line nt Saint Maurice , rides for n few minutes
in a shuttle train of doubtful comfort , and , ar-
living at Monthey , takes the tram , which imme
diately commences an ascent of the fertile val
ley. Through -vineyard and chestnut gro\e , over
roaring mountain streams and past various hamlets -
lets , the little tiain wends Us way , ever upward.
Leaving the heat of the plain below , one grad
ually emerges Into an atmosphere of crystalline
coolness. Champery , the end of the railway and
the last village in the valley , lies 3,500 feet above
the sea. Except Its bracing air , ono is unconscious
of the altitude , as all about tower the Infinitely
greater heights of the Dents du Midi and the
Dents Blanches , their white "teeth" so dazzling
In the sunlight that ono welcomes the almost over-
present cm tain of cloud union veils their bilght-
noss. Some 300 feet below the village the rapId -
Id and noisy VIezo , homo of that delectable fish ,
the "ombre , " rushes down the bed of the valley
from Its Bource in the Col do Coux , another moun
tain , at whoso summit lies the frontier of Savoy
and a customs-house , and from whence one may
continue one's walk In Franco to Chamonlx.
The country abounds In walks and climbs to
suit the most export or Inexperienced mountain-
eel1. First and foremost of those Is the ascent
of the Dent du Midi , moro than 10,000 foot In
height. Of its seven tooth , the Haute Clme is
most popular and least dangerous. Parties usu
ally Uavo Champery | n the afternoon , sup at
Ilonaveau , snatch a few hours of sloop , and are
off before dawn In order to reach the summit for
a far-i caching panorama of the suu-klsBed Alps
awaking from their sleep.
It was at this little chalet of Bonnvoau that
ono party , finding their hopes oC an ascent shat
tered by torrential rain , re-soli od to piny bridge
and amuse themselves as best they could until
the wee sma' hours ; but "English as she Is spoke"
and accompanying laughter evidently Jarred upon
the proprietor's nerves , for in the morning tholr
modest bill was embellished with the strange
Item : "Extra : Pour built fait pendant la nult ( for
noise made during the night ) . 5 francs. "
To retuin to the village , lib ono street lined
by chalets with gayly flowering window-boxes and
neat gardens , hotels , pensions , and little shops , let
us occupy ourselves with the cosmopolitan throng
that wanders hack and forth on any August day.
The Hotel Dent du Midi , Champery'a largest
and most modern hostelry , Is the best point of
vantage for such n survey. Choosing a comfort
able chair from beneath Its striped awnings , wo
call a waitress wearing ono of the typical scarlet -
lot kei chiefs on her head to bring us ten. While
waiting wo may listen to the orchestra and marvel -
vol nt the many countries of the world represent
ed in this nmnll corner of it. The English and
French element predominate , and ns yet the
Ameiican is in the minority , but electricity , steam
heat and nil the commodities of modern llfo that
especially recommend a place to his luxury-loving
heart nro fast doing away with Its former sim
plicity. What a field In which to study human
nature , national characteristics , and that Intan
gible faomothlng which stamps indelibly the types
of each country for Us own.
There goes n former prime minister of Austria
off for a walk with hia beautiful wife , his fox
teidcra bounding in glee at his heels. A distin
guished Roman and his two sons are returning
from an all-day climb , tholr arms llllcd with Al-
plno ro&es. Hero comes an English army of
ficer , pack on back and alpenstock In hand , off
with his guide for "the Dent. " A llttlo Indian
princess tosses n bit of cake to her squirming
and anticipatory dachshund. Out In the garden
four hilarious Parlslcnnes are settling thoh ; ac
counts nt bridge. A Greek countess flicks the
ashes from her cigarette , as she sips her tea in
company with a young Roumanian. An Italian ad
miral strolls Into the "poste , " and the Inevitable
Ameiican girl returns from tennis. So ono might
continue Indefinitely , for Swiss , Dutch , Russian ,
Hungarian , and even Egyptian are all represented
In this out-of-the-way llttlo place to such an ex
tent that during the annual tennis tournament
lodgings of any sort , bo it ever so homely or
piimltlvo , Is at a premium.
It Is In June , however , that Champery Is at
Its loveliest. Then the Holds are Carpeted with
masses of wild flowers of the most extraordinary
beauty and variety , delicate orchld-llko blossoms
that might have been hot-house grown mixing
with the moro sturdy ones , and It Is with real re
gret that ono sees them swept away by the relent
less scythe in haying tlmo. In the heart of the
village lies the newly restored pailsh church , with
Its unique and ancient crown-capped boll-tower ,
fiorn which a veritable chaos of chimes peul forth
on feast days.
Mention of Champery would not bo complete
without a word as to HH favorite strolls , the
"Petit" and "Grand Paradls" two lovely wooded
spots by the rapid Vlozo , where ono may sit be
neath the plnoH and listen to Its noisy music
and "les Calories , " a natural rock formation In
the sheer cliff rising fron the right bank of the.
river , and from which a splendid view of the vil
lage Is to be had.
Hut It Is toward the cast , n half hour distant ,
that we wend our way most frequently , for there
lies "Le Calvalro , " a stone cross set upon a pro
jecting knoll which dominates the entire Val d'll
llez far down to the peaceful Valley ot the Rhone
and across to the distant peaks of Clmussy ,
Gummfluh , and the Mont d'Or glistening in the
sun. From this point , midway between the valley
and the mountains , seated beneath that cross ,
eternal symbol of death , ono may best watch the
mystery of the departing sun as It sinks behind
the Col do Coux. Then the veil that hangs all
day before the Dent du Midi lifts , and the dying
rays slowly flood the mountains' cold , dead whiteness -
ness with the rosy glow of llfo and eternal
promise.
Finds Homes For Children
Recently two largo paitioa of children loft Liv
erpool by the Allan liner Corslcan , Captain Cook ,
for Quebec. One party , consisting of boys and
girls , was from the lilrt homo , and the children
were under the care of Miss Dirt , who traveled
in the ship. This lady has been engaged for 37
years in lesculug children and has taken out over
6,000 and settled them In the Dominion ot Canada.
The paity In the Corslcan was the eighty-first
which has gone out under the auspices of the
homo. London Times ,
Controlled Newspapers.
The Atchlson Olobc aaya that no ad.
vortlser has over tried to control Its ed
itorial policy , the remark being occa
sioned by the charge often mndo nowa
days , that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experieuco ottho Globe IB the
experience of moat newspapers. The
merchant who docs n great deal of ad
vertising Is moro Interested In the cir
culation department of a newspaper *
than in the editorial department. If a' '
dally paper goes to the homos of the
people , and Is rend by them , ho Is antls-
fled , and it may chase after any theory
or fnd , for all ho cares. Ho has troubles ,
of hia own , and ho Isn't trying to shouli
dcr these of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by1
puoplo outsldo of the editorial looms , !
and a good many of them , inoro's the
pl y ; but the people exorcising that ,
control nro not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space. ,
The newspapers which are established !
for political purposes nro often controlled - .
trolled by chronic ofllcoseekors , whoso
flrst concern Is tholr own Interests.
There nro newspapers controlled by ;
great corporations' , and the voice of !
such newspapers is always raised la
protest against any genulno reform.
The average western newspaper UBU- *
ally Is controlled by its owner , and ho
Is supposed to bo In duty bound to maka
nil sorts of sacrifices at all sorts ot
times ; there are puoplo who consider
It his duty to Insult his advertisers ,
Just to show that ho Is free and Inde
pendent. If ho shows a decent respect
for his patrons , who pay him tholr
money , and make It possible for htm to
carry on the business , ho Is "subsi
dized" or "controlled. " The newspaper
owner IB n business man , Ilka the dry
goods man or the grocor. The mer
chants nro expected to have considera
tion for their customers , and they are
not supposed to bo nubsldlzod by the
man who spends five dollars with
them , hut the publisher Is expected to
demonstrate his cou ago by showing
that ho Is ungrateful for the patronage -
ago of his friends. It is n funny com
bination when you think it over.
Qazcttc.
It Is a Mistake .
Many have the Idea that anything
Will Boll If advertised strong enough.
This is n great mistake. True , n
few enles might bo made by advertis
ing an absolutely worthless article but
it la only the nrtlclo that la bought
again and ngaln that pays. An ex-
ntnplo ot the big BUCCCSH of n worthy
article is the enormous sale that him
grown up for Cascarots Candy Cathar
tic. This wonderful record is the result
of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascarots by its friends and users.
Llko all great successes , trade pi
rates prey on the unsuspecting public ,
by marketing fake tablets similar in
nppcaranco to Carcarots. Care should
always bo exorcised in purchasing well
advertised goods , especially an nrtlclo
that has a national sale llko Cascar
ots. Do not allow a substitute to bo
palmed off on you.
