Roman System of Figuring. Counting on the fingers was a regular system for the young Romans. They would make eighteen movements with the left hand for the num-ber- s below 100, and eighteen with the right hand for those above. Two kinds of counting machines, called an abacus, were also used. One was a board strewn with sand, on which geometrical figures were drawn. The other wag a frame, with balls moved n grooves to represent figures, with a special contrivance for doing fractions.. As teachers were not very in those days, arithmetic might be said to have been learned less by rule than by ferrule. MISTOOK PLAN OF CEMENT SMOKE HOUSE.

AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS. i Terrible Scaly Humor In Patches All Over the Body Skin Cracked and Bleeding Cured by Cuticura. "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-fiv- e years. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center a spot ajiout the size of a Silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance 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 Bcaly crust, would form again in twenty-fou- r hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without removing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered intense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. W. M.

Mrs. Frederick Brown, of 40 Sumpter street, Sandy Hill, N.Y., was a sufferer from iuflammatory rheumatism from the time she was sixteen. She says: It first appeared in my knee joints, then in my hips and waist. It became a regular thing that I would be laid up all winter. The rheumatism affected mostly my hnnds, bipe, feet and shoulders. My hands were all puffed up and my feet became deformed. 1 lost my appetite, couldnt sleep and sometimes 1 was compelled to cry out, the pain was so intense. For several winters I was under the doctors care and while his medicine relieved tho pain for a little while there seemed no prospert for a peimaneiit cure. I was confined to my bed, i ff and on, for weeks at a time. My linilw swelled dreadfully at. times and I was reduced almost to nothing. In the spring of HK4, npon the advice of a friend, I begun to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. At that time I wasn't able to do anything and could barely eat enough to keep alive. I felt a change for the better in about a mouth. 1 began to eat heartily and I suffered less pain. Of course I kept on the treatment, using cure in my diet, and in about three months 1 was cured. I am entirely well today and do all my own work. Dr. Williams Piuk Pills cured Mrs. Brown by driving the rhenmatio poisons out of her blood.

The custom of powdering the hair dates back as far as the sixteenth century and was first Introduced by the nuns In French convents. Those who had occasion to leave the dels-ters for any reason were wont to powder their hair so as to make it appear gray and give them a venerable look. The fashionable dames were so struck with the novel effect of white powder on dark hair that they soon appropriated the device as one of the arts of the worldly toilet. Out of this grew the use of tints In the hair. The Roman women often used blue powder, and later, In I860, Empress Eugenie set the fashion of using gold powder, Rome under the emplr and Greece during the time of Pericles were seized with a mania for golden hair.
