ANCIENT WARFARE.

EXCHANGE of prisoners was practiced in very early times by both the Greeks and the Romans.
 WHEN the fighting bishop of Nor wich," in 1888, stormed the town of Gravelines, he massacred the entire population.
 Ar the siege of Jerusalem by Titus the captive Jews were crucifed by the Romans in such numbers that, as Josephus says, there was no longer wood of which to make the crosses nor space for them to stand.
 DURING the middle ages reprisals were common. The vengeance taken for a brave defense of a town or castle was generally the hanging of the most prominent officers and men among the defenders.
 WHEN Richard l., with the other crusaders, took Messina, all the noble and good-looking women of the town were carried off. Some were after wards ransomed, while the greater part were held as slaves by their captors.
 WHEN Emperor Henry in 1194 cap tured Salerno he ordered the wives and daughters of the leading citizens to be put up at auction and sold, and all these unhappy ladies were thus dis posed of to brutal soldiery.

The first notice we find of royal pay ments to a physician was when Nieho- las de Fernohan was called to the court of Henry III. at a salary, until he be- came bishop of Durham. In the ac- counts for the royal household, which date from the thirtythird year of Henry VI, and continue during the reigns of Henry VII. and Henry VIII, we find no regular allowance was made to the royal physicians were given a 'reward,' i. G., honorarium; the royal apothecaries, however, were paid as in the form of legal demand. Among the Cottonian manuscripts in the British museum are the accounts of Henry VIII.

-------------=------ ABOUT YOUR HAIR.

CURLs denote a feeble sense of right and wrong, gayety, viyacity, self-conf- dence

HuxIey's Pipe of Tobacco,

When in 1868 Prsf. Huxley was presi dent of the British association meet ing at Liverpool, paper on tobacco was read in the statistical section, and Dr. Farr took voluminous notes The professor strolled in and listened to a discussion started by one of the anti tobacconists on the merits and demer- its of tobacco. The professor joined in, and began by decrying the weed, of which he had been at one time a devotee Then he went on to narrate how he had ceased to be a smoker for years; how he went to Australia on a scientific expedition; how, after a wearisome day, his party turned up to dinner in their tent; and how, after the meal, az his companions lit up. "I could stand it no longer" said the professor. 'I begged pipe and a pipeful, and lit up, too, and l have been smoker ever since. "-Westmin- ster Gazette.

Overhead Baggage Handling.

A travelling crane has been utilized in the Victoria station, at Manchester, to facilitate the movement of passen- gers luggage, and has been very sue- eessful in relieving the congestion of traffic on the platforms. A tramway has been suspended from the roof of the station, and on this runs light car fitted with an electric motor and a seat for an attendant. Chains passing over a winch barrel, also operated by electricity, permit the basket truck to be raised or lowered, and in this way it is possible to transfer load of par cels from one platform to another over the heads of the passengers, who are thus free from the usual inconveniences to which they are subjected by the movement of the baggage at large sta- tions. The motor was designed and built at the Norwich works of the com pany, and it is proposed to extend the system to other stations.

RENEWING THEIR YOUTH
A Strange Story from Nebraska
 Village.
The Villagers Excited Over the Increased Health and vigor of the Older Inhab- Itants The Experience of
 Two "Yets."
From tas World Herald. 0rnaha. Ntb


 A orld-HerdId reporter was attracted by the evidence of renewed activity of some of the older inhabitants of the village of Bruce, suburb of Omaha, Neb., and enouired the cause. Mir. Andrew Finkenkeler, who was a member of Company B of the First Iowa Volunteers during the war made the follow ing explanation so far as he himself is con- cerned:
 ''In July, 1S66, while my company was on the march through to Austin, Texas, was attacked with rheumatism of the worst kind in one leg at Alexander, La. Being weak 1 was sunstruck and remained un- conscious for several hours. Every sum mer since have been unable to stand the heat of the sum- and have been compelled to give up my work. There was in my head a bearing-down feeling which increased until it seemed my head would burst and it caused ringing in my ears, and palpita- tion of the heart set in, so that the slightest noise would set my heart humping. Sev- eral times it has rendered me unconscious for from seven to ten hours at time. In addition to this the rheumatism extended up my entire side until 1t drew my head down on my shoulder. l lost my strength and flesh and was totally unfit for work.
 "For twenty eight years have consulted physicians and taken their prescriptions without deriving any material benefit. My ailments increased in intensity until was assured that there was no hopefor me. Dur ing last year 1 went into the butcher busi ness but the dampness from the ice used in- creased my rheumatic pains to such an ex tent thatI was not only compelled to quit the business, but was confined to my house and bed for nearly six months.
 s.In November last 1 read in the World. Herald a case of man who had been en- tirely cured from the ailments from which l was suffering, by the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. On November 2s, purchased box In week was as tonished to know that felt better than had for six months past and before ! had used half box. The ringing in my ears be- gan to lessen in volume and finally left me. The pain from the rheumatism gradually left me, so that within one week from the time 1 took my first pill 1 was able to sit up in bed On January lst, 1 was able to go out and walk around a little The palpitations of my heart entirely ceased. On February 9, 1 was so thoroughly cured that accepted a position as night watchman in the Forest Lawn Cemetery, remaining out of doors from 6 P NJ. until A M. l have gained in weight from IA pounds which l weighed in November last, to l 12 pounds which weigh nown

A Bears oueer Memento.

A big bear killed recently in the Dead Indian country, Oregon, was found to be carrying an odd memento of pre- vions episode with hunters, in which he came off victorious, though not un- scathed. In the stiAe joint of one of his hind legs was an unusually large tusk of a dog which the hunters said must have belonged to big bear dog. The tusk was well overgrown with skin, and apparently had been in the bears leg many years.
