History tells us that about the year 1795 'men strangely accoutered, their laces covered with soot and their eyes carefully dis guised, entered by nights farms and lonely habitations and committed all eorts of depredations. They gar roted their victims, dragged them before a great fire, where' they burn ed the soles of their feet and de , manded Information as to the where abouts of their money and Jewels. Hence they were called "chauffeurs," a name which frightened so much our good grandmothers. Faris Figaro. Last of 31st Congress. Andrew J.

Terrible firaly Hnmor In ratchet All Over BodySkin Cracked and Bleeding Cured by Cntlcnra. "I was aiiiicted with psoriasis for thirty five years. Jt was in patches all over my body. 1 used three calces of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bot tles of Resolvent. In thirty days 1 was completely cured, and I think permanent ly, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the centre a spot aoont .the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of white silvery appear ance, and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would . be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly orust would form again in twenty four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, alBo on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without removing 4y' bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered intense itch ing, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or olood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. W. M. Cbideater, Hutchinson, Kan ..April 20,1905." What Aids French Peace. The astonishing statement Is made that the French people have invested In foreign . securities the stupendous amount of above $13,000,000,000 and that in addition to their own public debt, the greatest of any nation, bich is . an exclusively domestic loan.
