A Wonderful Escape.

Fieschi tried to assassinate King
Louis Philippe of France in July, 1885.
The king was riding along the lines of
the national guard in the Boulevard du
Temple. There came Il crash and
rush of bullets. Louis Philippe's arm
was grazed. his horse was shot in the
neck, Marshal Morticr fell dead and
about thirteen other people were killed
and thirty wounded. Fieschi had taken
the upper floors of Il house several
weeks before and there rugged up an
oaken frame four feet by three feet six
inches, supported on four posts of oak
and itself supporting twenty-five gun
barrels fixed in grooves at various
angles so as to command an area of
twenty-five feet in length and ten feet
in height. When he fired the train of
powder that let off his battery the king
would have been killed if four barrels
had not burst and two missed fire.

Some peanuts that are bought ready
roasted are of light yellow color.
Others, however, are pronounced bru-
nettes. There is reason for this.
The great American peanut will re-
main crisp only day or two after
roasting and in damp weather only a
few hours. 1t absOrbs moisture rap
idly, so that two days after roasting
the finest nuts lose their crispness and
are to all intents and purposes as
though they had never been cooked.
The italian and Greek peanut men
freshen up their stocks by roasting
again and reroasting. When the proc
eSs has been repeated three or four
times, though, the peanut begins to
take on a tawny hue, which is consid-
cred Objectionable by those who have
stands in the better parts of town.
These much roasted COOLERS are there
fore sold at discount to Greeks and
Italians who have stands near railroad
stations and the cheaper resorts, who
can roast, reroast and re-reroast them
Indefinitely until they are finally sold.

A Camera Fiend.

A well known criminal lawyer one

judge glanced about the room to see
whom he might assign to the case.
''I'll take it, judge the late conner
said, wishing to pass away the time.
''By the way, what is the man
charged within" the attorney presently
asked.

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
Hands Pinned Down-Miracu-
lous Cure by Cuticura

NSeo OoAO W SbSAS0Ao
When my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The res extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor, but
he could not help him, and in or de-
spair We went to third one. Matters
became so bad that he had regular
holes in his cheeks, large enough to put
finger into. The food had to be Civ
en- with a spoon, for his mouth was
covered with crusts as thick as a fin
ger, and whenever Ire opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
pirate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body, was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face, and make
an open sore. think his face must
have itched most fearfuly.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and | had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But.
Lord be blessed. matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made a trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolyent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed
decided Improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began TO disappear. and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white as
never before. +. Hohrath, President

A Heavy Load to Carry.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general ill-health. Why? Be-
cause disordered stomach does not per-
init the food to be properly digested, and
its products assimilated by the system.
The blood is charged with poisons which
come from this disordered digestion, and
in turn the nerves are not fed on good,
red blood, and we see symptoms of nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness and general break
down. 1t is not head work, nor over ply
ach work. With poor, thin blood the
body is not protected against the attack
of germs OF grip, bronchitis and cOnsump-
ton. FOrtify the body at once with DIR.

NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
ana his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. liz a
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
Ii he has no food he dies Food is com
verted into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on ths
strength OF the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach Is reallx the vital or
gan of the body. IL the stomach isUweaks
the body will be weak also. because it is
upon the stomach the body relies for it's
strength. And as the body, considered as
q whole, is made up of its several MEM
bers and organs, so the weakness of the
body as consequence of vweak" stom-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. If the
body Is weak because it is ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heart, liver, kidneys, etc.
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to oilloasness, loss of appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action of
heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.
