She is fifteen years of age, and had never had anything the matter with her skin until four months ago, when an eruption broke out on her chest. The first svmntom Was a redness, and then followed thicken- ing and blisters, which would break and run matter. I took her to a doctor, and he pronounced it to be eczema of a very bad form. He treated her, but instead of being checked, the disease spread. It showed itself on her back, and then quickly spread upwards until the whole of her head was affected, and all her hair had to be cut off. The pain she suffered was excruciating, and what with that and the heal and tin- cling her life was rhnopt imbearable. She became rua tk* <in health, and at times was very feverish, languid, and drowsy, and occasionally she was de- lirious. Her nerves were in such a low state that she could not bear to be left alone. In spite of the cold weather she would insist on having her bedroom window open, and would lean out on the window-sill. She did not have a proper hour's sleep for many nights. The second doctor we tried afforded her just as little relief as the first, and I really do not know what we should have done if we had not read how Cuticura cured a similar case. I pur- chased Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Cont- inent, and Cuticura Pills, and before the Ointment was three-quarters finished every trace of the disease wa,3 gone. It really pnemcd like magic. f £ <?r hair is coming ou ripely, and I a C)ii;tri(-,nt ,is I still apply the Cuticura Oii.Lmont as I find it increases the growth wonder- fully. Mrs. T. W.

NATURAL HISTORY NOTES. I A V MIGRANTS AT LAST. I The late frostw and snows delayed the birdo, and all the migrantfj were more or k\Ó'" behind their average tinvew of arrival, but untoward circumataiioca may retard but cannot stop a flowing tide. Early or late the summer bird.4) will come. will come home to England, or pass along our t-thorcs or acrots? our land on their instinctive but no loss wonderful journey home. The bird which, cocking a food -supply, journeys far to the oouth of its summer breeding-haunta when the autumn warns it that. the supply will shortly fail, turns its face towards home and wing.s acrot^o oc.ans. mountain ranges, plains and cities when t-ii-e season comes round it cannot. help itself, it niuot attempt the voyage: if by reason of age or weakness it cannot Maud the strain, it must fall by the way, a victim of uature f, laws which weed out the unfit, wi'.hont pity but with mercy for the race. And (hey have coino back, vhefso little wan- do rem, some of them cold, some of them weary, "XU;) of them only to die. The trand martins j which reached R<xkwmeco in Marcii. meritioned in my last noL436, are probably dead, so too arc i those early awallowi which came at the be- ginning of April; the weather at and about Easter time wa6 not what they looked for. Chiffchaffa arrived slowly, and it was not until the socoud week m April that any number ap- peared now they are plentiful itr North Wales and, wince the third week, fairly well distributed throughout Cheshire. '1 lus jo a b;rd which usually roaches iw in numbers before March is ended. Sand martini, which generally come in with the chiff-chaff*, were much belated; now a fair number are roosting nightly in thick roed- beda, and skimming daily over the larger iiitre", but. only a few have reached their breeding haunts. Swallow*, mere stragglers, were re- ported from all directions, but they were dread- fully late. At Moo's they appeared on the 20th; at FrcwWiam a day earlier; on the hills near Congl-eion on the 211;t, and at Chester and Ivnutsford about the middle of the third week. Ring Ousels reached the Welsh hills early in April certainly by the second week, but there are a few in Cheshire even now. YKLLOW WAGTAIL. WILLOW WHEN I AND SANDPIPER. The yellow wagtail, which when it first tPlwar81 !ook: ai brtll:ant a? a canary, ia one of the usually early migrants. One was iiiar I M-aivchotster and another at Chester on iltil, but it wa.-i riot until a week later that the bird Warl noticed in most places. The cheery little willow wren wao firat. reported to me from Llandudno on the 18th; two days later it was noticed by a Hangor correspondent. In another two days it was heard at Higher Pecver, and on the 23rd I saw my first among tire larches on t'ho Newlands Pass in Cumberland. A C boater friend did not come across it until the 25th, but by the 27th it had reached Cheshire in force. Tit. sandpiper, which we may include with this particular wave of migrants, reached its favonriie shingly haunts Oil the Ogwen and other North Walc,, streams on the 18th; in Cheshire it came, and appeared on Pedesmere, Tat ton and llo.st.hern", and doubtless otiior waters, on the 26th and 27th. Till: REDSTART, BLACKCAP AND CUCKOO. I have neither seen nor hoard of a redstart in C'hMhn'c cr North Wd.? at t.ho ri'ne of ivritiriS, I)tit Ill Tile early iav:> of May. l?wo'tc. however, a Miicnt l1!k. noting among some sturdy holucs which brave the chilly weather of the northern Lake District. I say it was silent, but that is hardly coTi-cct it did not sing, but it constantly uttered its call note: was it vainly flecking its belated mate A few minutes later heavy snow fell, and 1 pitied the poor lonely little wanderer from the genial south. The blackcap was sing- ing at Colwyn Bay on the 27th; but on that date I could not find a single bird in several of its llsual Cheshire haunts. Of course we heard of several abnormally ear1v cuckoos: we always do. whatever the wvut 1ler is like. As a matter of fact the cuckoos did not come, at any rate, to Cheshire and North Wales, until about the 27th. which is only a few days later than their usual time of arrival. On the 27th the bird was calling at Llandudno and Colwyn, and at Bramhall and Tatton. in Cheshire on the morning of the 29th one was awakening the cclioes round Bowdon. Cuckoos, tl.is year, were recorded ia February, and all through March and early April notices of the bird appeared in the Press; as a matter of fact there is no single instance of cuckoos in England eai-iler iiian the last day of March which is based on the observation* of a tried and reliable ornithologist. If the birds really come home so early, some of the many excellent observers would be c-ei-tairt to sec them, but whenever these extraordinary cuckoos are re- corded the occurrence is always on the authority of some unknown man or is unsigned: in the latter case, alas! it is often a pure fabrication, in the fornl of an error. SOMETHING LIKE A RUSll. I Ii is difficult to say exactly when it occurred, but either on the night of the 27th or 28th, or pCMiibly un both, a huge wave of migrants reached us, and numbers uncountable must have swept further north. From all liartt) of Lanc-a shire, Cheshire, the Lake District and Nortti Wales I received on the 29th and 30th note", of the arrival of bird" in greater number* than before, I was out all day on the 29th, and found the face of t.he country changed; there were migratory birds everywhere. I had heard a few chiff-chaffs in sheltered places before, but, now there were nine different cock birds shout- ing in the bushes all within half a mile. Willow wrens were scattered everywhere, and on the 30th one came to breakfast with me; at least, it sang sweetly from my fruit trees and thorn hedge while I enjoyed my breakfast to its de- lightful music. Personally I had neither seen swallow nor sand martin up to the 29th. but on that day I Raw dozens of both, and a friend who visited Rostherne at the same time found them just as abundant there. At Goosetrev. Winder- mere. and in all the North Wales stat ions the sudden influx was noticed apart from stragglers these two swallows had been missing. On thia date I saw my first tree pipits, but I was not the only one to notice them they were seen and heard in North Wales and the Lake District. Yellow wagtails, a fresh lot of pied wagtails, and with them a few white wagtails—I saw two mvoplf-carnc in at tins time, and sandpipers swarmed. I counted a dozen in various places round one single mere. The corncrake was heard at Llandudno and reached other places at about the same time though on account of the short- ness of the grafw most of the birds remained silent during the day. I THE TERNS COME lUCK. But the rush was not confined to land birds. I came across five common terns on one water, and two were noticed simultaneously on a mere a, few miles distant. The terrs or sea-swallows are as regular migrants as the cuckoo and swallow, and yet how few. except lighthouse men, ever trouble to notice their return. Better still than the common ten was one of those j regular but rare little visitors which Hudson classes among his "Joot British birds" I refer to the black tern, which, though it passes Eng- land every year, has ceased to nest with us. I watched for about three hours a splendid little male- -black head and breast, slate wings and back-hawking for flies with the much bigger common terns. It rested repeatedly from its labours on a stump, and once was rtid-oly ciected by one of the larger birds. It never half closed its wings and dived towards the water, like the common terns, but gracefully and lightly swooped down, picked a fly up in its swoop, and regained its former position without the least difficulty. Some palatable insects, I do not know what, were evidently abundant over the water, for in addition to the black and five common terns there were a number of black-headed gulls behaving in the same manner. None of these birds touched the. water, but all swooped hither and thither above the surface. It was a mar- vellous spectacle, an example of three grades of aerial agility. First there was the blackheads, which, though skilful enough to obtain food, were clumsy compared to the common terns, and last, but best of all. was the light little bla-ck terns which apparently never missed its prey. All around and about there were the sand martins and swallows, tabng toll aa they dashed through the air; the flics, whatever they were, were having an uncommonly bad time. I TI-IE WINTER MIGRANTS I All this happcnNI and is happening before we I have seen the la-si of our winter visitors, for at I the very end of the last month and podwibly into this month there were fieldfares and golden plovers still lingering in our fields. I am not prepared to say much about the fieldfares; a largo number at any rate left us weeks ago-- they were heard repeatedly flying at night: those about still may either be the remnant of the birds which have been here all winter, or birds from more southern haunts coming north. This latter is certainly the case with the golden plovers. All our breeding golden plovers are on the hills, and all that used to spend the winter in our fiekls have passed to the north: yet at intervals of two or three days flocks of various sir.e* appear in the favoured fields. One day, for instance, there were scarce a score, the next over two hundred, and two days later not, a bird to be seen. In the same wa man., of the summer visitors which came with the rush on the 23rh may leave us, but their place will not be vacant, for others of the same species will step in to stay. The swallows which neet with us are just returning and making observations on their old nc?ing haunts Pummer is heee. though spring i. rdwically not half way through. 1 -_u_- T. A. C. I

I THE PAN-ANGLICAN CONGRESS. I (SPECIAL ARTICLE.) I I (Concluded I I I Ill. I Tho Congress is to conclude wi"h a glorious service of thanksgiving in St. Paul's Cathedral- on Juno 24, St. John the Baptist's Day. At thw service a thankoffering is to be solemnly offered to Almighty Uod, in thankfulness for all His blessings gianted to Ihe Anglican Com- munion of the Church Catholic, in its growth I and develop meat, at. home and throughout the world. To roalLv* in somo degree the growth of the Anglican Ohurdh, it is well to renwnber that in t-h-e year 1783 there was not one bishop of our branch of the Churoh outsidie our own country. In 1784 Bishop Seabury was conse- crated as the first bishop in the United States of America; the number of bishoprics in America is now 93. In India, to our shame be it spoken, wlion we were first rising to power, the English authorities forbade the gospel to be preached to the natives. As time went on the way was at length opened for the consecration of Bishop Middlemen, and in 1814 he was made Bishop of Calcutta. His diocese included the whole of India, with tike continent, of Australia t hi own in as an additional archdeaconry, and it also included Now Zealand. Now tliere are ten dioceses in India, and 27 fit Australia and New Zealand. In Canada there are 23 dioceses, in Africa there are 18: and in the last- 30 yoais China and Japan have begun to open their doors, and in both countries the Church's work is spreading. So wonderfully, in -Vito of past failings and negligences, have llw efforts of the Anglican Church in reeeat years been b'oasted. In our own country the 23 bishoprics of 1783 have 37, and are, soon to be inotoaged yet. further. And in ituiuuxeuable ways the Churoh at home is developing her spiritual life. It is in thankfulness for these and many other ntorcias that the Anglican com- munion is going to humbly present a thank- offering at tho cioso of the Congress. (If this thankoffering the Archbishop of Can- terbury wrote last. year: "It is to be a joint offering whereto all will ba invited to add thciir quola., however small. Already we learn of the glad and loyal contributions which are being offered week by week on the remotest frontiers of in Esquimaux villages, and in Melatiesian islands, and in African forests, and in the mission outposts of Ohin.a and Korea, they of thoir poverty are bringing their two mites to be added to :h-e gift for the common good. Let. its bestir ourselves and set to work, lest. wo. in our wealth of Christian and advantage, be behindhand." Very poor aro the dnvpllcr,) in some of t.he Bahamas. It has been humorously said that "•they live chiefly on a few sponges," yet a letter just received from on", of t-lio islands says that on New Year's Day E-5. 5s. was offered at the churoh service by a congregation made up of poor up-groos. Anglican Ohttrolrmon in tlk, rnited Srates wiil be nnabIo to join it; any substantial degree in the "offering of money, as only last October they made their own thankoffering- at Richmond, in Virginia, for their Board of Missions. their offering amounting to the sum of £ 200,000. Some d a-nd parishes aro assessing them- selves at feme sum, which they will make it thoir endeavour to raise.. A few examples may be quoted. A single diocese in Australia £ 4,000, the diooeae of Pretoria £ 50,000, a rural arch- deaconry in England £ 5,000, the borough of Portsmouth £ 1.000, a working class parish in Woolwich, in spite of its great poverty, £100, a Yorkshire village £ 50. a village in Lancashire, with a popltlalion of under 900, has a'readv given JB56. Thaakoffo! ings may either bo "unappropria- ted" or "appropriated. If unappropriated, the money so offeied will be subsequently allocated by a, committee appointed by the Lambeth Conference, a.nd will he used for tho extension of rhcI Kingdom of Christ in our Colonies and abroad. But if it is desired, offerings may bo appro- priated. that. is. earmarked by the donors for some special object. Convocation lias decided that the object must be either a Colonial or missionary diocese, or a recognised Missionary Society, or the training- of men and women for service in the Colonies or the mission field. At the thanksgiving service eaoh bishop will present the offering's gives by those in his own diocese. But beiside the offering of money there is going to bo a far more valuable offering, an oft'witig of men and women, offering themselves to go who-over they may be most nctc-ded. This was siiggostcd by the Bishop of Dorking (Dr. Bourflower). Suffragan Bishop in the Diooeso of Winchester. He is going to offer himself, and he made an appoal last year to the clergy ia the. Winchester diocese that ten of them ahould do the same. Ten are going to do so; and not only from tbo diocese of Winchester, but from other diocescs, men and women will on St. John the Baptist's Day solemnly offer themso'vos as a living thankoffering, ready to go and work wherever they may be sent, either in our Colonics or in the mission field. This will be a grand practical ending to the Pan- Anglican Congress of 1908.

Canon Cooper Scotr, M.A., rector of St. John't;. In the course of an interesting address, the Canon paid high tribute to the work of friendly societies in general, and welcomed the Westminster Lodge niosf heartily to settle in hi. parish. Canon Soott was supported by Bro. M. Gaffney, of Saltney (N.G.), as chairman; Bro. lly. Williams, E.C. of Liverpool; and Bros. A. S. Dutton (lodge treas.). J. Smit.h (ledge sec-.), A. Moore flodge delegate), J. Field, .G., Chas. Fisher (steward), and Hy. Lloyd (guard). An excellent programme of music was gone through, and among t.he performers were Mr. C. James (Chester Cathedral), who sang in his uuial good style, "The M^erry Monk" and "The Bandolero" Bros. Dutton, A. Conquer, E. Dymond and Messrs. H. G. Sandfield, J. B. Piercey, Warmsley, and Crane. During the short, interval. Bro. Hy. Williams, of Liverpool, addressed tho meeting upon the progress of the "20th Century," pointing out the many ex- cellent advantages over other societies, more especially its centralisation, triennial val ua- tion, scales of assurance, old-age penolons, etc. Light refreshments jy-s-rcs served from the buffet. Botwteen the songn an initereeiting ceremony took place, when Bro. Thos. Larg»e, of Saltney, was presented with a framed illu- minated emblem of the society for services rendered as N.G. to the Westminster Lodge for the year ending Xmas, 1907. Miss Halli- dav, of Hoole, exhibited much skill as the accompanist, and contributed largely to a most enjoyable evening. The com-mittoa are to bo congratulated upon sec-tiring such good accom- modation as their new lodge rooms afford.
