in the remarkable cures this medicine
accomplishes. Druggists say: When
we sell bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla
to new customer we are sure to see
him back in few weeks after more
that the good results from trial bottle
warrant continuing lis use. This posi-
tive merit Hoods Sarsaparilla possesses
by virtue of the Peculiar Combination,
Proportion and Process used in its
preparation, and by which all the
remedial value of the ingredients used
is retained Hoods Salsaparilla is thus
Peculiar to Itself and absolutely IN

COUNT ToLsTOI has written a long
letter to New York paper, giving
his personal observations and expe-
riences in the famine districts Of Rus
sia. It may correct some impressions
in America to know that this cele-
brated philanthropist and author ac-
quits the general government and the
local functionaries of either indiffer-
ence or procrastination in relief for
the sufferers from famine, but he
finds that, with all that has been
done, and with all that Russia can
do, more than half the suffering must
remain unless people more fortunately
situated contribute to their relief.
There has been so much misinforma-
tion in this country regarding the
famine and the attitude Of the Rus
sian Government toward the starving
peasants, that this appeal of Count
Tolstoi's ought to set matters right
and open the purses of those who are
able to help these poor people.

Indians Going to Market.

An incident of this typical journey ]
am describing would, at more than one
season, be meeting with some band Of
Indians going to a post with furs for
barter. Though the bulk of these
hunters fetch their quarry in the spring
and early summer, some may come at any
time. The procession may be only that
of family or of the two or more families
that live together, or as neighbors. The
man, if there is but one group, is likely
to be stalking ahead, carrying nothing
but his gun. Then come the women,
laden like pack horses. They may have
q sled packed with the furs and drawn
by dog or two, and an extra dog may
bear balanced load on his back, but the
squaw is certain to have a spine.warping
burden of meat and battered kettle and
a pappoose, and whatever personal
property of any and every sort she and
her liege lord own. Children who can
walk have to do so, but it sometimes
happens that baby year and half or
two years old is on her back, while
newborn infant, swaddled in blanket
stuff, and bagged and tied like Bologna
sausage, surmounts the load on the sled.
A more tatterdemalion outfit than band
of these pauperized savages form it
would be difficult to imagine. On the
plains they will have horses dragging
travoises, dogs with travoises, women and
children loaded with impedimenta, a colt
or two running loose, the lordly men
riding free, struggling ours plenty,
babies in arms, babies swaddled, and
toddlers afoot, and the whole battalion
presenting at it's exposed points ex.
hlbits of torn blankets, raw meat, dis
torted pots and pans, tent, poles and
rusty traps, in all eloquently suggestive
of an eviction in the slums of great
city.-Harper's Magazine.

TN GRowMG OLD.
By c. LowATER.

I'm growing old for sixty years
I've struggled through mortal Life;
I've seen some Joy, l'vo seen some str11e-
I've had Ave children and q wife.
But, all in all, for all my fears,
I've seen more happiness than tears;
And now, when am sixty years,
love the memories Of my life.
You'll mover SEQ the days, my lad,
As bright as those when was young
Then every little bird that sung
Seemed ioyful that the earth was young.
In it's old days tho earth seems sad;
1t has not now the life it had
In those gay days long passed, my lad
Those happy days when Was young.
The life We led was wild and free,
The men were bold, the girls were sweet;
Not such as now you often meet
In theaters or on the street.
WHY, sometimes now, it seems to me-
From what hear and what see,
'Tis the girls who are bold and free,
And men, poor things, try to be sweet
The rod, my lad, was in the school
In days when 1 first learned to spell
We had to learn our lessons we'll;
The difference you soon could tell
They praised the quick and whipped the TOOL
And ruled us with an iron rule;
They trained men In the olden school
Whose names q nation now can spell
They had o noble hardihood
To fight against the wilderness;
They worked and prayed to God to bless
Their toll with peace and plentiness.
He must have heard their prayers and stood
With them in the 1eafy wood,
For He has blessed their hardihood
And labor In the wilderness.
I'm growing old; for sixty years
I've smiled at pain and laughed with Joy;
But though my. head Is white, my boy,
The hand Of age cannot destroy
The record of the hopes. the fears,
The happiness, tho smiles. the tears
Which have known for sixty years,
And whose remembrance is my Joy.

Longevity OF Birds.

Among birds, the swan lives 10 be the
Oldest, in extreme cases reaching 3Oo
wears; the falcon has been known to live
162 years. An eagle died in 1919 which
had been caught 1O4 years before, and
was then quite old. A white headed
vulture, which was caught in 1706, died
in the aviary at schoubrun, near Vienna,
in 1924. Parrots live more than a GEN.
tury. Water birds have long life, ex.
ceeding that of several generations of
men. Ravens also live over hundred
years. In captivity magpies live from
twenty to twenty-five years, and still
longer in freedom. The common hen
attdins the age Of from fifteen to twenty
years. Doves live ten years, and the lit
tie singing birds from eight to seventeen
years. The nightingale's life is the
shortest, ten years being the longest, and
next comes the blackbird, which never
lives longer than fifteen years.-Publie

was about to attempt to CROSS on chance
Of his luck guiding him when the tall
form Of q policeman loomed out OF the
fog and flashed the light of lantern on
him.
"Ah, Just in time, policeman, said
Ellersby, in relieved tone. I've got
slightly astray in this fog, 80 you must
guide me to the Guelph Hotel"
Just across the street, sir, replied the
policeman, touching his helmet, and he
stepped of the pavement, followed by
Ellersby.
They soon got into Jermyn street and
went along the left-hand side toward the
hotel. Though the fog was still thick,
Ellersby in the vanity of his heart thought
he could now find the wav for himself.
he gave the policeman half a. crown, and
going along few yards, went up what ne
supposed was the steps of the hotel. The
policeman stood in the same place, ready
to render his services as guide, shonld
he be required, when suddenly he was
startled by cry from Ellersby.
The young man had gone up the wrong
steps, and was standing on the top when
the policeman hurried up, while at his
feet was O bundle of what looked like
clothes.
II say, policeman, said Ellersby, in ar
aeitated tone, here is awoman-I believe
she's dead"
dead drunk, more like, sir" replied
tho policeman, skeptically, ascending the
No." said Ellersby, II have shaken her
and she will not waken. Her face is quite
cold-just look!"
The policeman, somewhat startled out
Of his professional phlegm, turned the
light down on the figure of the woman,
which was lying in the doorway. It was
that Of female with fair face and gold
en- hair, dressed in long sealskin jacket
and silk dress. with q fashionably
shaped hat on her head. Her well-gloved
hands were tightly clinched and her eyes,
wide open, we're staring straight up at the
horrifed discoverers. There did not
seem to be any wound or blood about, but
her face was swollen and appeared to be
of dark purple color, with the tongue
slightly protruding between the teeth.
It was not by any means pleasant sight,
and both men felt sensation Of horror
as they looked at the body.
She's dead, sure enough, sir, said the
policeman at length, and blew whistle.
To this call there was an answer, and
soon another policeman made his appear
ance.
aShe looks as if she had been stran-
gled, said Ellersby, who was much upset
BY the discovery; 'her face is 80 purple
and her tongue protruding."
The first policeman bent down and
looked at the neck Of the corpse, but
could see no marks of violence, SO he
shook his head.
Don't know SIR" he snsw cred. 1T
looks queer sort of case. Well take
the body to the hospital and see what the
doctors say"
In the meantime the other policeman
had gone for aid, and in few minutes
two more made their appearance with
atretcher, upon which the body was
placed and taken to the nearest hospital.
In accordance with request made by
the policeman, Ellersby gave his card, 80
that he could be called on to appear at
the inquest, and then went to the Guelph
Hotel, which was only short distance
up the street.

Chinese Military.

The Chinese were formerly accustomed
to rely largely upon noise in Battle. They
were astcnishcd upon encountering Brit
ish troops for the first time, to find that
the latter were not frightened by
wells and the beating of tom-toms. A
favorite weapon of theirs, since disused:
was the '.stinkpot," sort of bomb.shell
containing such frightful odors that
those among whom it was thrown might
we'll turn and run. Yet even the pig
tailed Orientals learn, and some day they
may in their turn give Europe lesson.
1t is not generally realized that they had
q war only few years ago in which
thirty million of men died. and that they
could call into the field tomorrow as
many soldiers as are numbered in all the
armies of the world and have enough
men left over to man every ship that
floats. Furthermore, their forces are
now armed with the best modern rifles
and drilled by skilled French and Ger
man officers. Boston Transcript. J
