CUTICURA REMEDIES .
WORK WONDERS.
**As I was a sufferer with eczema
I write to tellyou what a great friend
I found in Cuticura Remedies. In
six months I had
tried three doctors,
but did not get any
better. It was on
my body and on my
feet so thick that
I could hardly put

"** zema. My face was
covered, my eyebrows came out, and
then it got in my eye. I then went to
another doctor. He asked me what
I was taking for it, and I told him
Cuticura. He said that was a very
good thing, but that he thought that
my fare wou ld be marked for life. But
Cuticura did its work and my face is
now -just aa clear as it ever was.
"My brother-in-law told me about
the wonderful Cuticura remedies.
I took his advice and got the Ointment,
Soap, and Resolvent I washed with
the Cuticura Soap and then applied
the Ointment, and took Cuticura
Resolvent as directed. In a short
time my face began to get better, and
when I had taken one bottle of
Resolvent I could brush the scales
off my face like a powder. When I
had taken four bottles my face was as
clear as ever.
"I told all my friends about my
remarkable cure. I feel so thankful
I want everybody far and wide to
know what Cuticura can do. It is a
sure cure for eczema, (signed) Mrs.

A WEIRD STORY.
Strange Experience With Phantaama
In Bast Africa.
Die Ueberslnnliche Welt of Berlin
gives an account of phantasms in east
Africa. They are described by Colonel
Langfeld as having come to his experi?
ence. A friend of his, starting for Vic?
toria Nyanza, had said: "If any harm
befalls me I'll let you know. I'll give
you a sigD." The only white civilian
there was the son of a large colonial
merchant. *
Two months later the pigeons in their
cot in the middle of the yard appeared
to be disturbed. The colonel was
aroused in the night and saw two
round pc*uta, more like glowing coals
than the eyes of a wild beast, gleaming
from the dovecot. He fired and saw
an animal like a chimpanzee, having
long, reddish brown hair, fall to the
ground and immediately rise and disap?
pear round the corner of the house, ut?
tering a terrible shriek. An old Sudan.
ese declared that lt was a devil, that lt
came as a warning when a European
had died an unnatural death and tbat
this was the third time he bad seen it
A strict search revealed no traces of
blood, although the shot had been fired
at only four yards range. Later the
colonel, still awake, heard light foot?
steps on the. veranda. Rising to see
Who was there, he was surprised to
find a European sitting nt his table,
which was fully set out for a meal. As
the stranger raised bis bead In tbe full
moonlight he saw thnt lt was his
friend (who had gone to Nyanza), but
hollow eyed and with a suffering mlea
The colonel managed to utter a ques?
tion, when suddenly the apparition
vanished and the table appeared clear
ef all dishes. Six weeks later word
came to the station tbat on tbe same
day on which these remarkable events
had happened or seemed to happen the
young merchant bad lost his way and
had been killed and partly eaten bj
wild beasts.
The Laughing Jaekaaa.
The kookaburra, or, as lt ls generally
called, "the laughing jackass," is com?
mon in Australia, where its presence is
fostered and beloved by the population
of the Island continent. The ringing
laugh of the feathered comedian is
welcome music to antipodeans, and Its
presence In the depths of the melan?
choly Australian hush ls as a high light
on a somber picture. Oreat indeed is
the astonishment of visitors to Austra?
lia who for the first time hear the won?
derful burst of laughter to which this
remarkable bird gives vent. Its laugh
is intensely human, and it seems a re?
markable act of Providence that the
little creature is to be found amid such
fitting environment. After hours and
hours of lonely Journeying through the,
great silent bush, which engenders,
melancholy thought, comes the mirth,
provoking outburst of this strange bini
'Ike a ray of sunshine on a cloudy sky.

An Indignant Compliment.
On one occasion when a change in
the cast had been made at the Savoy
theater Slr Arthur Sullivan, who hap?
pened tc be dining at the Savoy hotel,
?lipped away for a few minutes from
the table and went Into the theater to
the upper circle, there to hear and
Judge for himself the capabilities- of
the new artists. As the play proceeded
and a favorite score in the opera was
taken the talented composer uncon?
sciously commenced to hum tbe refrain
as he desired it to he rendered. This
considerably annoyed his next door
neighbor, who abruptly remarked, "Ex?
cuse me. slr, if I mention the fact tbat
I have paid my money to hear Sir Ar?
thur Sullivan's charming opera ns giv?
en by the company and not your con?
founded humming!" Sir Arthur return?
ed to his dinner end related the inci?
dent with great gu-*to.
Varlotia Klpd- of Applca.
"Pineapple-' and "love apple" (toma?
to) are instances of tbe manuer in
which tlie apple has been habitually
taken as the typical fruit, the name of
which is naturally borrowed in chris?
tening all sorts of fruit and vegetables
that only remotely resemble it. Dr.
Murray's dictionary gives an imposing
list of them?Jew's apple, devil's ap?
ple, kangaroo apple, and so on. A
writer of the seventeenth century
speaks of "tbe fruit or apples of palm
trees," and a fourteenth century man
says tbat "all manere aples that ben
ciosyd in an barde skynne, rynde, other
?bale, ben callyd Nbc**" (nuts). In
th? year 1000, apparently, "earth ap?
ples" meant not potatoes, but cucum?
bers. And even Eve's "apple" is be
lltvtd te hart been a citron.

About Thia ??*.-*-- C'uatoin.
Among the Arawaks of South Ameri?
ca lt is unlawful for a young: mon to
see the face of his mother-in-law. If
they live in the same house ?' partitlo**
must be set up Isetween them. If they
go in the same bout Hbo bas to step lu
first, so as to keep ber back turned on
him. Ilochefort says: "Among the Ca
rlbs all tbe women talk with whom
they will, but the husband dare not
converse with his wife's relatives ex?
cept on extraordinary occasions."
In many parts of Australia a woman
wllJ not look at her daughter's husband
at all hoaards. She hides whenover be
comes near her, going ont of lier way
to avoid him, and if it is impossible she
hides her face with ber cloak. She
would not mention his name for any?
thing in the world. Tlie Kathi* woman
hides behind a bush and holds a shield
to her face. Sbe would far rather
ipeak to a stranger than to her sou-ln
aw.
Franklin, who gave much time to the
itudies of the North American Indian,
issures us lt Is considered extremely
inproper for a woman to speak to her
lon-ln-law, and when abe bas any im
jortaut communication to make lt is
onsidered proper for her to turn her
iack on him and speak by means of a
hird person. The same law holds good
niong the Sioux and Dakotas, and If
lolated the offender is punished by
avlng bis garments torn from bis
ack aud thrown away. With the Oma
as neither tbe father nor mother has
nytbing to do with tbe son-in-law
or he witb them. They will not look
t one another or speak his name.
In bid travels to Tlmbuctoo Canilta
smites that from the moment of be
?othal the lover ls careful not to see
ie father and mother of the bride,
hey avoid each other all tbe time. He
rye, "I tried in vain to discover the
righi of the whimsical custom, but
ie only answer I could obtain was, 'It
our way.'"
This custom extends beyond the Te?
flons. If tbe lover is of a different
imp be avoids all the inhabitants of
e women's camp, except a few infl?
ate friends whom he is permitted to
sit A little tent is generally set up
r the son-in-law, and when he ls
illged to cross tbe camp be covers his
ce. This custom exists among Li?
an tribes and extends far beyond.
In the tribes of New South Wales tbe
ung man, when courting a girl,
olds ber mother as much as be can
d grows more distant after be is
irried. With some Victorian tribes
a estrangement is even greater?the
>tber and aunt as well may not look
tbe young man nor speak to bim
>m betrothal to death. When they
?ak before each other they have to
9 a turn language. Under no con?
lon would tbe young man dare to
?-ak to bis wife's mother.
Jaelean, who studied this custom
long the Zulus of Africa, says a
aghter-in law must cut herself off
>m ber husband's relatives. She ls
; allowed leven to pronounce their
lies mentally. This statement shows
t in some countries tbe girl must
ore her husband's relatives as much
he does ber mother, but this ls less
quent.
a Asia among the Mongols and the
mucks a womuu dare not speak to
father-in-law nor sit down in his
sence. Callas in an Interesting
rk on tbe Ostiaks of Siberia declares
t a young married woman avoids
father-in-law whenever she can,
ecially during the early years of her
?ried life. In the meanwhile the
bond ls uot expected to see any
ig of his mother-in-law. If be
its-ner by chance he hides,
i China, after the wedding day, a
1 never sees the face of his daugb
In-luw. A similar custom exists in
neo and the Fiji Islands.
line people consider it absolutely
dual for a young man even to give
tray glance to bis mother-in-law,
ever good looking she is. They
tbat they must not look on her
they go mad. It ls the fashion
i some tribes in central Africa to
svlth bent knees lu their presence
not to put their feet out. A Kongo
erb states: "My mother-in-law is
7 with me, but wbat do I care?
do not eat from the same dish."
e men will speak to their mothers

tame. This Is true of the people

THIRTEEN AT TABLE.
I**he Seqnel to a Dinner Party at thc
Home ol' Mlllnla.
By some persons of nearly ull i i
tonalities tho dumber IS ll regarded
with supers'Itloris fear. At Brighton,
England, the town council has Just
granted permission to a householder
to change the number of her dwelling
place from 13 to 12A, so many aud
diverse have been the ills which the
lady traces to the fatal number. Paris
will not have the number for any
of its houses. Parisians so hate the
"thirteen party" for dinner that there
ls a class of professional diners out
called "quartorzleunes," whose fuiic
tion lt is to make thc fourteenth at
these symposia. The Turks sq-ty.aSlihe
lt that the word ls practically expung?
ed from their language. Tbe Italians
will not even employ it In their lot?
teries. The Italian gambler's honor
of the number proceeds spparenti*
from the fact that a thirteenth card of
ono of his packs bears tho figure of
death.
In England the superstition that one
it a company of thirteen must die
within the year is traced to the old
calculation of the Insurance offices that
mt of thirteen persons taken indls
-rfmlnately one will die within twelve
nonths. Others trace the awe in which
he figures are held to the last supper.
it which thirteen were present. Lord
jytton dealt with this aspect, remark
ng, "Some have carried it to the ex
ent of disliking that number nt all
imes, but the commoner form limits it
0 Friday." But the antipathy ls older
ban Christianity. In the old Norse
aythology the thirteen party was
eemed unlucky because, at a banquet
1 Valhalla, Loki once appeared, mak
ig thirteen, and Balder was slain by
ie blind god Hoder at the Instigation
f the Intruder.
In fostering this superstition the
redulous find themselves in good corn
any. Tbe question was sprung upon i
dinner party at tbe home of the fa
ious artist Mlllais, where they sud i
enly found themselves thirteen strong, l
ne of the company was horrified at I
ie discovery. "The Idea ls," said 1
atthew Arnold, "that whoever leaves i
ie table first will die within a year, so,
ith the permission of the ladles, we 1
Ul cheat the fates at once. I and s
ese two fine, strong young lads will t
se together, and I think our united *<
nstltutlons will be able to withstand t
e assault of the reaper." They got f
?, and no more wag thought about lt.
Six mouths later Arnold died lu the
lme of life. One of the two men
hom he had called upon to rise from
e table with him was found shot
ad In his bed in a New York hotel,
ie third did seem likely to outlive tbs
ar. He bad gone to Australia for the
neflt of his health. But for the home

mend tbe means as one to be always

But to this rule, as to all other*,
there are exceptions, and numerous In?
stances are known of animals possess?
ing a positive love for the fragrant

the unique attraction of a terrier which
