I am going to tell you Of an extraordinary
change your Cuticura Remedies performed on
me. About the first of April last noticed
some red pimpl 8 coming out all over my body
but thought nothing of it until some time lat

accompanied with itching. / would scratch
every night until was raw. then the next
night the scales. being formed meanwhile,
were scratched of again. In vain did consult
all the doctors in the country, but without aid.
Alter giving up all hopes Of recovery, l hap
pened to see an advertisement in the newspa-
per about your Cuticura Remedies and pur-
chased them from my druggist. and obtained
almost immediate relief. l began to notice
that the scaley eruptions gradually dropped
of and disappeared one by cne, and have been
fully cured had the disease l3 months before
1 began taking the Cuticura remedies. and in
four or five weeks was entirely cured Ny
disease was eczema and psoriasis. / recon-
mended the CuticIra Remedies to all in my
vicinity, and know of 3 great many who has
taken them, and thank me for the knowledge
of them. especially mothers who have babes
with scaly eruptions on their heads and bodies
cannot express in words the thanks to you
for what the Cuticura Remedies have been to
me- Ny body was covered with scales. and
| was an awful spectacle to behold. Now nv
skin Is as nice and clear a baby's.

THE ROYALLOAFERS.

From the Pittsburgh COmmercial-Gazette.
When the recommendation that the al
lowance of the Prince of Wales be in
creased $4,000 quarter was presented
to Parliament, Mr.. Labouchere moved the
rejection of the recommendation and the
substitution therefor an address to the
Queen reciting, among other things, that
the sum already voted by Parliament to
the royal family should be amply sutfici-
ent for all their proper purposes, and that
if further supplies are needed they ought
to be provided through retrenchment of
the expenses of the royal family, not by
fresh demands upon the people. Labou-
chere has a united Liberal party back of
him in his stand against royal extortions,
and the proceedings of Parliament in the
matter will be interesting, which they sell

HAPPY HOMES

Here S health TO the wives and the mothers
Who sit in our households to-day;
Who are glad when they brighten for others
The hours that go drifting away.
May their eyes keep the light of the gladneSS,
Their hearts hold the fulueSs Of bliss
That baniSheS shadows and sadness,
And what need we ask more than this?
But-how can this happiness be kept ?
What shall protect those we love,-thOse
who make a heaven of the hOme.-from
the ravages of disease that is often worse
than death,-that is, in fact, lingering
death? The question is aSily answered;
DIR. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription-the
standard remedy for all those peculiar dis
eases to which women are SUBJECTS
what must be relied on to preserve the
health of wives and mothers. 1t preCentS
those diseases, and it cures them. 1t is a
blessing to women and therefore a ma
tional blessing, because it gives health to
those about whom the happiness of home
centers, and the strength of nation is in
its happy homes.

AN OLD OFFENDER.

About half century ago there lived at
Freeport, in Harrison county, one Nell
son briggs. He was engaged in merchan-
dising, and was widely known in this part
of Ohio and in Wheeling, to which city
he made frequent trips. On these occa-
sions he drove a spotted mare, which be-
came even better known than her owner
The famous little mare would cover the
ground from Freeport to Wheeling and
back in day-upward of 20 miles. 1t
was suspected for long time that briggs
was engaged in criminal practices, but
not until he left these parts, we believe,
was his criminal character fully devel-
oped. His passion was counterfeiting
and for that crime he served three years
in the Illinois Penitentiary.
For several years briggs name has not
appeared in the public prints, and he had
almost passed out of the minds of people
hereabouts. But Thursday he reappear-
ed, and in his old r0le-this time at Day
ton, Ohio. 1t appears that briggs and
wife kept the T. S Hotel, two miles south
of DAYTON. He was suspected by the
Secret Service men, and in disguise they
opened negotiations with him for batch
of $4,000 counterfeit Treasury notes.
While John 5. Bell, the Chief of the Secret
Service. was in the hotel receiving the
counterfeit notes eight officers surround
ed the building. GuyOn, the most notorl-
GUS counterfeiter in the country, who
provided the goods, remained in hiding
in the woods near by, and when he dis
covered the trap laid for him begun to
retreat, firing as he ran The officers re-
turned the fire. and a brisk fusilade was
kept up, but GuyOn got into thicket
and escaped. One of the officers was
wounded.
briggs and his wife were taken to Gin
cinnati. Capt. Bell secured $25,OOO of
the spurious Treasury notes.
Nelson briggs is upward of 80 years OF
age, and is brother of Benjamin briggs,
who a few years ago kept hotel at Woods
field. He is, likewise, related to Hon.
John B. briggs, Judge of the Belmont
Monroe Common Pleas. He has had
checkered career, and we believe is famil
lar with more than one of the State pen
itentiaries. This last venture will pro-
badly finish his course. He did not man
ufacture counterfeit notes, but dealt in
them, arranged with the producers of the
notes to float them, and it was while en-
gagged in an attempt of that kind last
week that he was caught. He will be
tried in the L. S. Court at Cincinnati,
and will find in the Clerk of that Court
gentleman well acquainted with his his
tory.
