Amusing Russian I..wsu;t.

An italian newspaper gives an &C.
count of all amusing lawsuit which has
taken place lately in Russian CITY in
which German is the prevailing lau-
guage. One man sued another to recover
the sum Of 80 rubles, the debtor having
faithfully promised to return the money
ON st. Henry's day. But having failed
to do SO for long time the lender dis
covered that the Russian ORTHODOX
church includes no such saint as st.
Henry. and the judge before whom the
case was tried was much puzzled as to
what verdict he should give. Happily
the idea occurred to him that, saint or
no saint. All Saints day included even
the most doubtful, SO he gave Judgment
that the so rubles should be returned
next All Saints day.

Ono Married at 100 and tho Other Got

Two remarkable cases CT longevity
were recalled recently by conversation
between several gentlemen in this city.
They were discussing the death of the
Rev. George Mccall, the veteran Bap-
fist preacher, when it was automatically
stated that Mr.. McCall's great-grandfa-
Their lived to the ripe old age of 1877
years. He was bachelor at 100 and
took a notion to get married. He car
ried ont his idea and was married.
Three sons were born to him, and he
lived to see the Oldest son old enough
to vote.
This was considered remarkable, but
gentleman in the crowd whose char
acter and standing, religiously and So
cially, are above reproach, told an au-
thentic account of the life of his great
uncle. who was one of Georgia's pioneer
citizens This old gentleman lived to
be 100 years old. He lived in a log
cabin. in the northern end of which
was cut square hole. The old man
turned the head of his bed to that hole
and slept that way in the warmest and
coolest weather.
His wife died when he was about 90
years old. and for many years he lived
as widower. At the age of 1I5 he cut
an entirely new set of teeth, and at the
age of 1913 one morning he saddled his
own horse, sprang into the saddle and
rode 30 miles to address widow and
to ask her to be his wife, He evidently
was rejected, for he rode back that Gay
and lived z years longer. Con.

Three generations have been reading THE
ARGUS. 1t was good enough for the old
grandfather. and as the years sped by It was
found equal to the requirements of the son.
Today the grandson finds it has kept mace
with progress, and he too is satisfied. The
old grandfathers taste wasn't very fastidious,
perhaps-but the grandson isn't so easily
pleased, and the fact that THE ARGUS

An account Of the visit paid to the
zenanA or harem of Mohammedan ma
wab in native state may not be with
out interest.
A carriage and mounted escort Ct SOL
diers were sent at O'Clock one morning
to convey us to the castle. A gate in
the immense walls Of the compound led
us into the i'll kept gardens. Passing
from these into the courtyard and
through long colonnades and untidy pas
sages, we Were conducted finally into
the zenana. A large and lofty room,
with walls on three sides and colon
made opening on to a courtyard, was the
apartment in which we were received.
Chairs We're brought for our accommoda-
tion, but with the exception of the mat
ting ON the floor the place was without
furniture.
women, some young and tall, others
old and wrinkled, passed and repassed
while we waited for the begun to ap-
pear. They were all dressed in the same
fashion. Trousers of light colored dam
asks or satin clothed them from the
waist. These pantaloons were baggy
above, but SO close fitting from the knee
downward that they have to be sewed up
after they are Oh. They are unsewed and
removed once a week for the bath. A

falls in graceful folds from the hips and
shoulders. Tho begun kept us waiting,
and we were told the reason was that
she was putting ON all her jewels to do
us honor.
Presently she came ina small, young
woman, with an oval, immobile face
and smooth, black hair. She wore tight
trousers of rich green damask and a
sari of cloth of gold. On her bare ankles
were anklets of uncnt emeralds and dia-
monds, said to be worth 40, 600 rupees.
On her arms were large number of
jeweled bangles and armlets, on her fin
gers rings of beautiful rubies and dia-
mcnds. Round her neck were strings of
fine pearls, and, suspended by studs of
large diamonds in the outer rims of the
ears. she wore across the hair at the
back of the head pearls, emeralds and
rubies, prettily set as kind of collar
cite. The ears were pierced in several
places to allow rings and jewels to be
inserted. and in the nose q small dia-
mond was worn. The little jeweled lady
did not speak English, and after we
had admired her jewelry conversation
soon came to an end.
Her wee baby was brought in dressed
IN colored silk, with gold laced cap on
its little bald head. The nawab Joined
US, and there was much lively chat over
the subject of our visit to the state. In
such a zenana the most rigorous seclu-
sion Of the wives is enforced-wives, l
say. for in this zenana the begun was

married the day after the death of the

man I heard during my last trip to the
sound. He is a Russian Finn and is
sensible ON every subject save one. He
has vendetta against the walrus, and
his cabin in the wilds of Alaska is built
up with their skulls.
According to the story told me by q
passenger who came down with me
from the sound, this man settled in
Alaska years ago. He married native
woman, and she bore him son. A few
years later the mother died, and all the

tered ON the son. Nothing was too good
for the lad. and everything in the way
of hunting and fishing lore was taught
him.
when the boy was old enough, his
father took him out OH all his hunting
expeditions and soon the youngster be-
gan working en- his own account.
Zone fatal day he attacked an old
bull walrus, but instead of killing it he
himself was the victim. When the father
saw the dead body of his son he was
wild with grief, which finally settled
into species Of madness. Now all he
lives for is to kill walrus.
when the mania first seized him he
lived i'll a dugout. Now his hut is on
the ground and composed almost entire
~ of walrus skulls.
''He crawls up behind the brutes
while they are asleep, and, seizing them
by the tusks, stands them ON end by
main force. He looks into their eyes as
though seeking to recognize the one that
killed his son, and then his knife does
the rest. The head is then cut off, and
goes to make one more to the monument
he is raising to the memory of his son. I"

SCrOfula

Any doctor will tell you
that Professor Hare, of
Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia, is one of the
highest authorities in the
world on the action of
drugs. In his last work,
speaking of the treatment
of scrofula, he SAYS:
1t is hardly necessary to state that cod liver
oil is the best remedy of all. The oil should
palatable."
He also says that the
hypophosphites should be
combined with the oil.
ScOtt's Emulsion of cod
liver oil, with hypophos
phites, is precisely such a
preparation.

Baltimore sun: AS a test OF character
tobacco In useful. A man may
be known by the cigars he keeps
as well as by the way he

way, amid proper surroundings. and is
able to shut h,mself out from the world
sIS sn .ts petty a~nnnyances as he fol-
lows the curling wreath into the dream
land Of revere.
The mar who allows his cigar 10 go ous

purpose. The man who fumbles his cigar
q good deal and manages 10 get the wrap

may be dismissed as a nervous person,
with a proclivity for observation-disclosures.
Men who chew Their cigars, leaving Their
teeth prints on them. and do this fer a
hong time before Lighting them are quite
likely TO be stern. determined men. full OF
grit and resolution. General Grant used
20 handle a cigar IN that way. and BIS
