The essential difference between
Paine's celery. compound and the be-
wildering number of sarsaparil1as and
nervines that its success has brought
into existence is that Paine's celery
compound furnishes just the sppropri-
ate nutriment to the exhausted nerves,
and securely builds up the system
against disease, while the unscientific
remedies confuse and add to the de-
rangement of the organs.
Paine's celery compound not only
relieves, but effectively and perma-
nently cures.
The most permanent and direct cure
for debility, nervous weakness, Ian
gour, and rundown" condition, is
the strong, reliable Paine's celery com.
pound. The rasping, irritating effect
of badly nourished nervous system
upon all the organs of the body ceases
when this medicine is used.
Paine's celery compound is the most
advanced nerve and brain strengthener
and restorer known to medical science.
The tired. worn-out sufferer, who is
not advancing toward health, is fall

bad health. One can endure a head
ache or a backache once; one can en-
dure it twice, but the repeated sick
headache and the constant pain in the
back and in the region of the heart
must be got rid of. For the permanent
and positive cure of these unhealthy
states of the body, as evinced by re-
peated attacks of rheumatism, neural.

A Fight with Torpedo Boats

During the visit of the members of
parliament to Portsmouth a naval Off
Ger told an amusing story Of last years
naval maneuvers. While the warships
were stationed in Lough Foyle there
was an alarm of torpedo attack at
night. Instantly the guns opened fire
and blazed away at the torpedo boat.
The next morning the admiral request
ed each captain to send in a report Of
the number Of torpedo boats he had
seen and the quantity of ammunition he
had expended. The reports were inter-
esting. Some Of the officers had seen
six torpedo boats, some four, others
three and others two. Only one cap
tain declared that he had seen no tor
pedo boat and had fired no shot. The
others, however, had used an enor-
nous quantity of ammunition. 1t turn
ed out that there had not been a tor
pedo boat within thirty miles of the
Tough, and the torpedo boats seen from
the ships were in truth single coal

as to Children ana Dogs.

Washington Irving has often been nc
cused Of saying that little dogs and
children were influential members of
French society. 1t is quite true that in
the United States 1 never noticed that

so frequently seen in France. Ameri-
can life is so active, so desperately
crowded, either usefully or socially,
that perhaps 1t does ot,permit the loss
Of time inevitably brought about by
friendly intercourse with a dog. As
for children, believe that their impor-
tance is equally great in all countries;
but it asserts itself in more noisy man
ner in America than anywhere else.
Everything is sacrificed to them. for
they represent the future, which Is all
that counts in a country whose past II
very short, and whose present is pc

Ice by q New Machine,

There has Of late been large demand
for ice machines of small capacity spe-
cially adapted for use in villages, or in
large establishments at a distance from
the town supply. A new form of such
q machine Is constructed 10 make 10
cwt of ice in a hours. It Is worked on
the ammonia absorption system, and
operated by steam. 1t consists OF two
steel cylindrical ammonia heaters, in
closed In steel castings, and containing
coils of iron pipes. These cylinders are
charged with a solution of ammonia,
one charge being enough for twelve
months working. The machine Is sup
piled with steam by two horse power
boiler, at a pressure Of 45 pounds, the
average cost of fuel being about five
cents an hour. The. machine can also
be arranged to work in combination
with a gas-fired boiler, and with super
heated steam. By the addition of an
agitator the machine will produce what
Is known as crystalline ice, while the
generating portion of the plant can be
adapted for cooling and refrigera ting
purposes of all kinds. As the machiue
has no moving parts there is mini
mum of wear and tear, and no founda
lions are required.

Good Roads in India,

India is land of good roads. Be.
tween all the larger towns well-shad-
ed macadamized roads are to be found.
The average city pavements of Chica-
go, ST. Paul or New York are not as
good as these long stretches of we'll
built roads, with their culverts of solid
stone masonry, and their whitewash-
ed milestones shining like solitary
monuments in the hot sun. There Is
an enormous outlay of money and la
Dor in blasting and buttressing, macad-
amizing these roads; but in develop
ing the agricultural and commercial
interests of the mountain regions they
are worth all and more than they
cost The inner ranges of the Hima-
layas furnish perfect climate and soil
for the production of tea and all the
fruits of the temperate zone. Hun
dreds of thousands of acres of tea
plants have been put out since these
cart roads, as they are commonly call
ed, were built. Thousands of English
men are employees in managing these
estates, and all their supplies of food,
building material and machinery are
brought to them, and all the products
of the estates are carted out to the va
rious terminals Cart drivers haul by
weight and can make from 80 cents to
81 a day. A days journey going up

Opening the Olympic Games. :.

The crown prince, taking his stand In
the arena. facing the king. then made
a short speech, in which he touched
upon the origin of the enterprise. and
the obstacles surmounted in bringing it
to fruition. Addressing the king. he
asked him to proclaim the opening Of
the Olympic games. and the king. ris-
ing, declared them opened. 1t was.a
thrilling moment. Fifteen hundred and
two years before the Emperor Theodo-
slus had suppressed the Olympic
games, thinking, no doubt, that in abol-
ishing this hated survival of paganism
he was furthering the cause of progress;
and here was Christian monarch.
amid the applause of an assemb1age
composed almost exclusively of Chris
tians, announcing the formal annul-
ment of the imperial decree; while a
few feet away stood the archbishop OF
Athens, and Pere Didon, the celebrated
Dominican preacher, who, in his Easter
sermon in the Catholic cathedral the
day before, had paid an eloquent trib-
ute to pagan Greece. When the king
had resumed his seat, the Olympic ode.
written, for the occasion by the Greek
composer Samara, was sung by cho-
rus of one hundred and fifty voices.
Once before music had been associated
with the revival of the Olympic games.

The Cbinese Arc seIf-Helpful.

The percentage Of foreigners in our
hospitals, asylums and penal institu-
tions Is overwhelming. But the Chin
ese make little call upon US for philan-
thropy, and that only for medical help.
Little by little these people are coming
to see the superiority of our medical
treatment, and in cases of severe sick
ness they will sometimes turn to our
hospitals for help. But they ask no 9TH
er aid from us. If Chinaman needs
any monetary assistance, his country
men help him without burdening our
public philanthropies. 1t is not uncom-
mon for the men of one clan. or friends
from different clans, to band together
to establish a loan fund. every man

This Is loaned to needy men, without

cient story. 1t says that during Lord
Russell's previous tour in this country

including Mr.. Evarts. 1t was while
walking with Mr.. Evarts one day along
the banks of stream that his atten-
ton was called to point at which
Washington, according to tradition,
had thrown a dollar right across. The
water was wide, and Lord Russell
looked doubtful.

to the occasion, 'tand it may have been
easy enough to Washington; 1t Is well
known that he threw a sovereign across
the Atlantic"

What fine Farmers Want.

"naT the Farmers want
Chicago Times Herald: Among the
numerous subjects discussed by the
national farmers congress at Indian
apolis. the question of good roads easily
transcended all others in Importance
to the agricultural interests of this
country. The farmer is the natural
promoter of good roads. The cities
and towns build the highways with
the corpora ton funds raised by taxa
ton. but the country road falls upon
the farmer. He is also the chief ben
eficiary, and if he will not lead in ag-
gressive agitation for modern scien-
ticfic road building it is useless to ex-
pect the movement to advance. Good
roads have paid for themselves sin
Europe; they have also yielded big re-
turns in New Jersey, North Carolina,
Alabama, Massachusetts and New
York. 1t. has been estimated by the
bureau of road inquiry at Washington
that it now costs the American farm
er an average of So per ton to market
his products. 1t is calculated that
with such country highways as are in
use in England and France this cost
would be reduced to 81 per ton. This
cost is not a matter of cash expendi-
ture. but represents the value of the
time, labor and effort on the part of
man and beast in hauling crops to the
market. Upon this basis of calculation
it is easy to estimate what the farm
ers of Wisconsin might save in one
year on their crop of oats, which
amounts to a million tons, If they had
smooth and solid country highways.

Both Small and Hc:eut.


Both Small and f6c:eut.
The smallest independent state in
Europe is neither .the principalify Of
Monaco, with it's population Of F2.00o
souls, nor the republic of st. Martin,
with it's 5000 inhabitants, nor that of
Andora, containing only 5000 citizens
but Moresnet, with a population Of
scarcely 1,2O0 souls. Moresnet, which
is thoroughly autonomous, is situated
on the Germa frontier, about
half way between Verviers and AK
a-Chapelle. 1t lies in a picturesque
valley, .watered by the, little river
Gueule.
How Moresnet has maintained its
independence has just been explained
to French journalist by, a. Belgian
minister in Paris. The. commune of
Moresnet, as it existed under the en-
pire. was, after the retreat of the
French in the early years of the cen
tury, administered exclusively by the
Partisan authorities till 1917. At that
time 1t was divided into three parts, in
virtue of the treaty of June 26, 1916.
The principal portion was annexed to
Holland, another portion was annexed
to Prussia, and the third portion, sit
uated between the other two, formed
the neutral territory. 1t contained the
calamine establishment of the Veille
Montague, and the Importance of that
esta blishment, which now produces
yearly some .25 900, 900: Kilograms of
ore and furnishes Europe with about
k0 Of 1;n
dered it impossible for the negotiators
to come to. an understanding concern
ing that fraction of the frontier. 1t,
indeed, seems unlikely that a decision
concerning 1t will be taken for long
time, as the governments of both Gef-
many andsBelgium claim possession of
the mines Of the "old mountain" That
is why that piece of contested terri
tory has, FOR the last eighty years. pre-
served it's neutral character and it's po-
liticaI independence.
Prussia and Belgium have each a
commissary, whose duty it. is to inter
vene in case of difficulties arising, but
that is purely formal suzerainty. The
Belgian representative is ct the pres
ent moment M. Bleytnesy. subprefect
of Verviers, and that of Prussia Coun-
selor Gulcher. The supreme chief
of this minute republic is NJ. Schmetz,
who contents himself with the title of
burgomaster, and has occupied that
post since 1884. The ideal taxation of
about francs per head, nevertheless,
suffices to provide a subvention for the
school and for the repairing of the
roads. Moresnet has one soldier, who
wears a splendid uniform, to preserve
order. AS there are no tribunals in the
territorY, law cases have to be. tried
alternately at Verviers and Aix-la-
Chapelle.-London Standard. :.
