Speedy Cure Treatment.

Bathe the affected parts with Hot Water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales, and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Olotment freely, to allay Itching, Irritation, and Inflammation, and soothe and treal, and lastly take Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood. A single set is often sufficient to cure the most torturing, dla- figuring, Itching, burning, scaly, pimply buinours, eczemas, rashes, Irritations, and chafings, with loss of hair, when all else falls.

The agonizing itching and burning of the aklu, as lu eczema; the fright- ful scallug, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in Bcalled head; the facial disfigurement, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suffering of infants and the anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter, and salt rheum,—all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. Such are the CUTICURA remedies; the purcat, aweetest, most speedy and economical curatives for the skin, scalp, and blood ever compounded. Mothers are their warmest friends.

Millionsof Women Use Cuticura Soap

Assisted by CUTIOCHA OINTMENT for preserving, purifying, and beautify- ing the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and Bore hands, for baby rashes and chafings, in the form of baths for Annoying irritations and inflammations of women, or too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes for ulcerativo weaknesses, and many, Hanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves, as well as for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery,

the arrival of the original colonists as prior to the Christian" ora, and cortain other data suggest more exactly the probable period.

The Chinese Jews knew nothing of what

is called in the Gospels the tradition of the elders," which, in was no more than the crystallisation or

summing-up of the oral teaching of the past, with various ceremonial accretions of the ecclesiastically durk ayce which followed the time of the last of the prophets. This gathering together and promulgation of the tradition took piace during the Maccabean period; so that the date of the settlements is thus agam pat back. The time of Alexander the Great

and his immediate successors seems, indeed, the most probable era for the foundation of the Chinese Jewish colonies, ot only because that century was marked by a very Considerable Jewish colonisation movement of which the Alexandria settlement wi the most noteworthy and best chronicled example but also because the

vocabulary of the Chinese Jows when discovered by the Jesuits included a large number of › Persian words and derivatives, indicating contact with that Empire, across which the route from Palestina then lay. Moreover,

at that period of their history the Jons wore familiar with Persian rule and custoni, which at any much earlier time they were

not.

Nevertheless, some Orientalists believe the migration to have taken place oleven hundred years B.C., roughly about the time | of Eli's high priesthood and the youth of Samuel. Expert investigation of the "Scriptures in use in these settlements ought to make this point susceptible of definite establishment. If it can be proved that the writings of the later prophets formed part of the synagogue lectionary in China, it - must be evident that the settlements were

not founded at this remote date.

The roll of Scripture taken from Kai. fong-fu to Hongkong during the latter part of the last century, and now to be seen in the Museum, is of the Pentateuch only, but affords no evidenco that other rolls were not also in use. According to Mr Dyor Ball, this copy of the Law corresponds vory exactly with the ordinary Hobrow versions familiar to scriptiste, although there are a few character variations not affecting the text.

The synagogue at Kai-fong-fu, now in ruins, bore inscriptions which prove it to havo boen erected in the Twelfth Century, and probably several older foundations exist if proper search were made. Should it provo true that, as separate entities, the Jewish colonies of China aftor tliese hun- dreds of years, are now lingoring in the throes of final disappearance, it will indeed be a loss to ourselves and to posterity if im mediato steps are not taken by skilled investigators to acquire all the evidence which they may afford to historical and critical research.-Standard.

IS JEALOUSY A DISEASE ?

·

A lady novelist-and who should lo better qualified to discuss the subject-hna been writing to The Times, upon jealousy. She, is common with many psychologists and the ancient people of the Hobrowe, is practically convinced that the green-oyed .monster is really a microbe, or, in other words, that jealousy is a disease. Thero is every indication, we are told, in Shakes. peare's tragedies, that it was recognised as such in the sixteenth century; and the Jows of old seem to have taken short order with those who displayed any form of jea- Jouny, treating them as being possessed of a devil, or, in other words, as sufferers from montal affliction.
