The self-sacrifcing hero smiled. He

lovely silver paper wrappers, with pic

And this is what gave birth to his

Russian Press Rules.
The Russian minister of the interior,
acting under instructions from the
car, has aIleviated the severity of the
press laws in all the larger towns and
cities of the empire, in fact wherever
the population is over 100000, by ex-
empting the newspapers from the OBJ
legation of submitting all articles on
political subjects To the censor before
publication. Hitherto only few OF
the principal papers at st. Petersburg,
Moscow, Warsaw and Odessa have en-
ioyed the immunity.

PILES ARE UNIVERSAL.

One person in every four has some
sort of rectal trouble. Remedies that
will relieve are plenty, but there is
one remedy only that radically cures
the most stubborn cases. Tabner's
Buckeye Pill Ointment cures blind,
bleeding, itching and protruding piles,
no matter how old or serious the case
may be. No pain, no operation, no
loss of time and but trifling expense.
If your case is serious you must choose
between surgery or Buckeye Pile 0int-
ment. The latter is the surest. Price,
in bottles, 80 cents: in tubes 20 cents.

Turning Cows to Grass June BOrerS-
Stable Manure-DiSeased Trees.
Should Be Destroyed
Valuable Farm News.

1t is mistake to turn cows on rye or
early grass before sufficient growth has
been made by the green food to permit of
its being used with but little liability of
causing scours. Cows that are in full flow
of milk will quickly diminish the quantity
if there is sudden change of food. 1t is
temptation to the farmer to allow his
cows on the pasture or rye field on the first
opportunity, but in so doing caution must
be exercised. The first day only few min
utes should suffice, the time to be extended
every day until the animals become accus-
toned to the change from dry to green
food. To turn herd of COWS ON young
rye and permit the animals to eat as much
as they may prefer is to incur risk of loss
of milk, as well as bowel disease in the
stock.

FRENCH ARMY AND NAVY.
England's Traditional Enemy Not Behind

NOU Jenlnu
Her In Armament.
The French navy ranks next to that
of England in numbers while in eff
cheney and fighting qualities the French
ships are fully equal to their English
rivals. In fact, in naval architecture the
French early took the lead, and many
of the English types of ships We're mod
eled after the French designs, says The
Chautauquan. One Of the chief differ
cnces between the English and the
French armorcd ships today is in the
disposition of the armor and the conse-
quent design Of the hull. English de
signers have strivcn to protect the men
working the guns, and to do this they
have reduced the length of the ships
arrilor. French and naval architects, on
the other hand, have given little attcn-
ton to the protection of men and q great
deal to the protection of the water line.
Therefore they have reduced the breadth
OF the ships aImor.
1t is worthy of note that Franco is
the only great power which levios tax
on such of her citizens as either do
not enlist in the standing army or VIII
enlist for shorter term than three
years. Only those who are officially de-
Glazed "impecunious" are exempt from
such tax. 1t is payable ann@ally as
long as the liability TO service lasts, and
the revenue from this source amounts to
about 80, 600, coo francs, or Sc, 600, 600,
annually.
The officers of the French army re-
ceive very thorough education at the
different military schools. At the head
of these (although not exclusively mill
tary) stands the Polytechnic school in
Paris, which admits 100 pupils annually
after Il competitive examination. The
course occupies nine months in the year
for two years.
