PUT IT IN GOOD LIGHT.
One Comforting Thought in the Death
of the Chicken*.
A lady who had recently move^? to
the suburbs was very fond of hertflrot
brood of chickens. Going out one af-
ternoon she left the household In
charge of her eight-year-old boy. Be-
fore her return a thunderstorm came
up. The youngster forgot the chicks
during the storm, and was dismayed
after it passed to find that half of
them had been drowned. Though
fearing the wrath to como, he thought
best to make a clean breast of the
calamity, rather than leave it to bo
discovered.
"Mamma," he said, contritely, when
his mother had returned, "mamma, six
of the chickens are dead."
"Dead!" cried his mother. "Six!
How did they dli?"
The boy saw his chance.
"I think—I think they died happy,"
he said.—Harper's Weekly.
VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA.
I
Suffered Three Years—Physicians Did
No Good—Perfectly Well After
Using Cuticura Remedies.
"I take great pleasure in infoming
you that I was a sufferer of eczema in
a very bad form for the past three
years. I consulted and treated with
a number of physicians in Chicago, but-
to no avail. I commenced using the
Cuticura Remedies, consisting of Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, three
months ago, and to-day I am perfectly
well, the disease having left me en-
tirely. I cannot recommend the Cuti-
cura Remedies too highly to anyone
suffering with the disease that I have
had. Mrs. Florence E. Atwood, 18
Crilly Place, Chicago, III., October 2,
1905. Witness: L. S. Berger."
Deaths from X-Rays.
The death of Dr. Weigel, a surgeon
of Rochester, from a disease due to
the constant use of the X-rays makes
the fourth who has lost his life from
this cause, says the Chistian Advo-
cate.
The others were an assistant of
Thomas Edison, a Boston physician
and a woman of San Francisco named
Fleischman. In the case of Dr. Wei-
gel since 1904, when his right hand
and all but the thumb and a finger
of the left hand were removed, there
had been four operations in trying
to save his life. The first removed
a part of the right shoulder; then a
part of the muscles covering the right
breast
Mystery completely envelops the
cause of death, the disease being un-
known to medical science, though It
is believed to Involve some great prin-
ciple of life. Dr. Weigel was presi-
dent of the Rochester Academy of
Medicine and the American Ortho-
paedic society.

ute in silence, then he touched his cap
