A serf,s Forethoueht.
From the London illustrated News

From the London illustrated News.
Count Scheremetef, an immensely
wealthy and powerful Russian noble
who lived in the early part of this CEN
fury, had among his serfs man named
Schalouchine, who had amassed an
enormous fortune. He had offered as
much as $250000 for his freedom, but in
vain. One day Scheremetef gave a
dinner party, and to his disgust there
were no oysters ito begin the banquet
with. "They were not to be had at
any price," replied the steward. At
that moment Schalouchine was ushered
in among the guests. and Scheremetef
bullied him as usual. your freedom"
he yelled, "you cannot have it If you
offered a million of rubles. A million,
pshaw! few dozen oysters would be
worth more than that to me at this mo-
ment." do 1 understand, then. my
lord, that you would grant me my free
dom if procured them for your" Eyes"
was the answer. Schalouchine had
brought barrel of oysters, having
heard of the dinner. The deed of free
dom was immediately signed, Schalou-
chine took his place among the guests
and his descendants are not only the
wealthiest bankers in Russia, but were
ennobled about a quarter of century
ago.

BRITISH HISTORY WRONG.
An Account of the Battle of White Plains Which
Is Deliberately Misleading.
From the New York Press.

FROM the New 1OrK Press
In it's series of supplements recount
ing "The Battle Honors of the Services,
the British Navy and Army Illustrated
once in a while says something about
the British forces in the revolutionary
war. When it does 1t is pretty sure to
be inaccurate.
THE cover of the last issue of the Bat
tie Honors" has a spirited picture of
Bragg's Grenadiers winning the battle
of White Plains, where they won the
name of "The SIashers." because they
threw away their f1ntlocl1s and carried
an intr .Hchment with their short swords.
The picture is entitled 1.-THE Sashers at
the Battle of White Plains, 1775."
The battle of White Plains was fought,
as matter of fact. on Oct. %, 1776 1t
is stated in the publication that Wash
ington sent 5000 men to occupy a hill
above the ford of the"Brunx," and that
this position was carried by the slash
ers" with their swords. 1t is also said
that soon after this turning movement
Gen. Washington, abandoning his stores
retired with his army toward Connectl-
cut"
AS a matter of fact. the position re-
ferred to was held by 1,400 Americans
under Gen. McDougal and was carried
think from reading the British version Of
the fight that the "Slashers" whipped
the entire American army. There were
other British regiments engaged in the
work of carrying Chatberton Hill, and
1T is unfair to them to give al the credit
to the "Slashers."
OF what took place after the position
was carried 1.-THE version given by the
Navy and Army Illustrated is deliber-
ately misleading. The facts are that
when the hill was carried, Gen. McDeu-
gal retired to Washingtons camp with
a loss of eighty prisoners and 100 killed
and wounded. The British lost 229 men
killed and wounded. Howe did not
dare to attack Washington. but sent
for reinforcements and on Nov. 5 moved
his augmented army to Dobbs Ferry.
Washington, being confronted by supe-
rior numbers retired not toward Con-
necticut, but across the Hudson to New
Jersey on Nov. Q.
When a nation starts out to write Its
military history and distorts 1T In some
particulars ut makes one doubt the
truth of ALL The truth about the attic
of White Plains would rebound Just as
much to the glory of the "Slashers" as
does the perverted account published by
the Navy and Army.

PLENTY OF CHRISTMAS TREES.
Fir Sapling Cutters Swarming through Maine
An Unprecedented Demand.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Orland Me.-The Christmas tree hunt
ers, who began about twenty years ago
to cut the most promising sapling frs
from the Maine hills for the New York
and Boston holiday markets, are all over
Maine this year loading vessels ON the
seaboard and whole trains of cars in
land with the greenery that will decor
ate many houses. For four or five years
it has been estimated that from ONE
half to three-quarters of million of
these trees were cut in Maine every
season. This year the dealers have con-
tracts for more than one million, and
nearly every one will make his orders
overrun, so it is likely that Maine will
send out more than one and a quarter
million frs between now and December
Is.
In addition Ito frs, which are used al
most exclusively for Christmas trees,
the contractors have large orders for
the ground pine, or lycopod.um, a species
of creeping evergreen which grows ev-
erywhere in dry, shady woods. Many
barrels of wild raisins, shrubbery plant
that bears a profusion Of coral red ber-
ries which hang to the gray limbs all
winter are also shipped to 1.-THE cities for
making wreaths and adding bright bits
of color to the prevailing greenery. The
ground pine is crowded into sacks or
pressed in bales like hay, but the ber-
ries must be. more tenderly cared for, as
they are liable to drop off under hard
usage.
Ia. . labor and less care are required
in preparing the trees for market. One

size, and carries them out ito the nearest
cart road, and there a ian with a pair
of horses attached to q hay rack takes
them and delivers his load at the near
est wharf or railway station. AS a
rule the contractor gets from two to six
cents a piece for the trees when brought
out, the purchaser paying the freight.
which amounts to more than the cost
of the trees. These frs pass Through
several hands before they reach the
retailers, and when they are finally sold
it is a poor fir that will not bring %
cents, the price of the smallest trees.
A dollar or more is often obtained for a
tree that is ten feet tall
Until last year nobody thought of
charging stumpage on his growth of
frs, most landowners being glad to get
rid of them; but now there is such a
brisk demand for such goods that few
men are putting a price upon the pro-
duct of their waste lands, the stumpage
on some fir growths realizing from $40
to S25 an acre.

adventures of Baron Trenck, land there
is almost no limit to the shifts of a cum
ming prisoner whose mind dwells on the
thoughtl of freedom might and day.
Ere eric Trenck, the Admirable Crich-
ton of the Prussian army, had incurred
the ill-win of his king and had been de-
lfverdd into the hands of his personal en-
envy, a indicative and vlg.ilant old mar
unet, who made the strict regulations of
ms fortress strtcter to obviate the posi-
bfhty of his prisoners rescue. Strang-
egs who applied for the privilege of an in
tervfeW with the ex-favorlte of the great
king were searched Ike pickpockets, and
watched by a sergeant of the guard
while they carried ON a conditional con-
velsaItion through the bars of a double

DIR. HARTMAN ANSWERS SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1897-12-12

think I can explain this to you,
doctor by referring you to the chart
which hangs on the wall here You
will notice that it is a representation
of the lungs, the right lung being to-
ward your left as you look at the chart
and the left lung being toward your
right. You will notice a number of
cavities in the lungs. In the left lung
entirely empty and dry. Now. this cav
>ity, in the beginning, was filled with
pus; but, by coughing, it was emptied Of
the pus. 1t probably took the patient
a week or so before the puS was entire
ly expectorated. Then, you see, there
being no more pus to eXpectora.e, it
ceased until another cavity should form.
The cavity marked A in the right
lung on the chart is partly filled with
pus, the upper portion of the cavity be-
ing empty, and the lower portion con-
tanning pus. AS soon as this cavity has
been entirely emptied expeotoration
will cease for a time. This fact always
leads the patient, and sometimes the
doctor, to believe that there is an i'm
provement; but they are doomed to
disappointment in a week or two by
the appearance of the same old eXpec-
toration as soon as another cavity
forms.
"a patient asks: do you expect
that the use of Pe-ru-na alone will cure
this woman entirely?o
I am not sure that l will use any
thing but Pe-ru-na in her case. 1t may
|, be that shall be obliged later to use q
Re-na-ci Plaster which is made by The
Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing company,
of this city, under my directions. II
any of you desire one of these plas-
tiers you can get them from this COM
pany for 81 each, accompanied by COM
plete directions for use.
Whenever / treat cases of consump-
ton by correspondence 1 always advise
the use of this plaster; but in cases
where I have the opportunity to exam
inc the patiert every day, as in the
case of Mrs. Heinzle, I sometimes man
age to conduct the treatment Without the
use of the plaster. But patients that
cannot visit personally I give them
the benefit of the doubt by advising
them all to use the plaster
"a doctor asked: DO you advise p
ru-na in consumption according TO d.
rections on the bottle?'D
make some deviation in the use of
Pe-ru-na in these cases from the ditec-
lions on the bottle. The directions on
the bottle are only for general use. The
| ellis of Life" explains the directions for
the use of Pe-ru-na in each disease. As
you will see by referring to page u Of
the ellis of Life the dose prescribe for
consumption is a teaspoonful every
hour; or, in cases where 1t Is more c n
ven.ent, tablespoonful every two or
three hours. In cases where the STRENGTH
is rapidly failing and there Is rapid
loss of flesh 1 have had some very ex-
cellent results from a Tablespoonful of
Pe-ru-na every hour, and would rec m
mend this dose in urgent casss and
where 1t seems to agree with the patient.
But in all cases where the patient is
very weak before commencing the treat
ment, I would recommend beginning
with very small dose and gradually in
creasing to the regular dose.
