In spelling to learn that even such II
la*l firms bhm) of letter* as members
ol the Academic Krancatoc have not
been totally exempt from that failing,
savg tbe Boston Tranncript- An an«-
dote is — told of the late H. Gaston
Boissier, secretary of the famous aca-
demy. He ran one day beaming Into
Renan's study *nd said: "I have a
pwB that will humiliate you.”
Renan asked In surprise.
"My autograph* are fetching a higher
price than yours." "Ob, la, that all?”
Renan replied. "But bow hare you
found It out?" M. Bolssler then re-
lated that on tbe previous day a cou-
ple of letters had been put up at auc-
tion at the salesrooms In tbe Rue
Drouot. One by Renan bad fetched
three francs, while one by himself bad
been sold for live francs. "Do you
know the reason V Renan Inquired,
and on receiving an answer in tbe neg-
_ atlve he said: "Well, I shall tell yon.
There are three misspelt words in
your letter, and I have It by me here.
A friend was at tbe sale and.
reiving the mistakes, he went on -bid-
ding until be had secured it, and then
he brought It to me saying:‘You will
give this letter to M. Bolssler. If It
were allowed to atseulsie among the
public with Its grammatical ornaments
this might damage the Academle Fran
caise.' " It was not Renan who looked
silly that day.
Yet another anecdote In Illustration
of the fact that even academicians can
be caught tripping. One day at Com
piegnd',' in 1868, the Empress Eugenie,
at the Initiative of Victor Dupuy, then
minister of education. Induced tbe par-
ty, largely composed of academicians,
to consent to write, a dictation got up
and read out by one of their number.
Prosper Merlmee. This was by way
of showing how bard It was that can-
didates should be rejected because
they were guilty of a few error r. Not
a single academician came well out
of the ordeal or would have obtained
a certificate In the particular competl
tion which the minister bad In bis
mind. The emperor and empress had
also written the dictation: 60 slips
were recorded against him and n?
fewer than 90 against her.

BAD ITCHING HUMOR.
Limbs Below the Knee* Were Raw-
Feet Swollen—Sleep Broken—
Cured in 2 Days by Cuticura.
8ome two months ago I had a hu-
per* Jtior break out on my limbs below my
knees. They came to look like raw
beefsteak, all red, and no one knows
how they Itched and burned. They
were so swollen that I could not get
mv shoes on for a week or more. I
used live or six different remedies and
got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the Itching
less. For two or three weeks the suf-
fering was Intense and during that
time t did not sleep an hour at a time.
Then one morning I tried a bit of
Cuticura. Ffom the moment It touched
me the Itching was gone and I haye
not telt a bit. of It since. The swelling
wept down and in two days I had my
shoes on and was about as usual.

ALPINE PERILS.
Where Others Failed^
“Each spring for five o\ six year* I
broke out with a kind of Eczema which
nothing seemed to relieve permanent-
ly. Finally I tried a box of Hunt’s
Cure, which promptly cured me. Two
years have passed, but the (rouble has
not returned.”
MRS. KATE HOWARD,
Llttje Rock, Ark.
A Nice Hint.
“I know what I'll do,” paid the girl
whose ‘ bashful lover would not pro-
pose. "I'll go out as a trained nurse.”
“But that is a profession. You
know nothing about It,” he replied.

ence sitting up nights with you?”—11-,

An Itching trouble Is not necessarily
a dangerous one, but certainly a most
disagreeable affliction. No matter the
name, if you itch—it cures you. Hunt's
Cure Is ‘‘It.” Absolutely guaranteed
to cure any form of Itching kUpwn.

A Dangerous Case of Kidney Com-
plaint and How It Waa Checked.
Mrs. Lucy Quebeck, Mechanic St.,
Hope Valley, R. I., says: “Eight years
ago I contracted se-
vere kidney trouble
and my back began
to ache contlnuSTlyt
Every day if seemed
worse. The least
pressure on my back
tortured me, and I
could not stoop with-
out a bad twinge.
The kidney secretions passed Irregu-
larly with pain, and I bloated badly.
My head swam and spot* flitted before
my eyes. One doctor said I was In-
curable. However, I found prompt re-
lief when I started using Doan's Kid-
ney Pills, and the troubles I have re-
lated gradually disappeared.”

is better than sticky plasters. It penetrates—

One Told by Successful Author Is De-

Mr. J. W. Barrie, the author Of
"What Every Woman Knows,• tells a
good story against himself.
A lady of his acquaintance had
taken a friend to see one of his plays,
and, quite astonished, he asked her
why she did so.
“Oh," was .the reply, “it’s such a
quiet street for the horses!”
He also tells of a playgoer who re-
ceived no response to his repeated re-
quests to a lady In front of him to
remove her huge hat.
At length, exasperated, he said: (‘If
you won't take off your hat, my dear
madam, will you be so kind as to fold
back your ears?”—Woman's Life.
