dence of the wind-up of the winter and
the coming of the spring. 1t Is the result
of the eating of heavy meals all winter,
with little or no rest for the digestive or
game. The cure has been provided by
nature, and all the patient has to do is to
change in the quality of their food. In
stead of heavy meals of meat, let them
eat the various green stuffs that the
markets now furnish in abundance
kale, cabbage, sprouts, green onions,
rhubarb and number Of similar things.
Any of them are good, and liberal COM
bination of them frequently indulged in
will do more than any other medicine,
for they are medicines in every sense Of
of the word. Start off breakfast with
some of the red radishes which are no "
SO plenty in the markets. Three or four
each morning will be sufficient, but that
many will be found beneficial. 1t will be
all right if they are skipped at lunch,
but be sure to have at least two green
vegetables for dinner. This kind Of food
will cost less than a heavy meat dinner,
and will do more to cure spring fever
than anything I can recommend in the
medicine line. 1t will be we'll enough to
use apothecary shop medicines in case
the green things fall but in nine cases
out of ten there will be no need for
them. ."-Washington Evening Star.

The map which the Grecian minister
has constantly before him is said to be
the best in existence. 1t Is also stated
that no other than the Grecian govern
ment possesses a copy thereof. 1t was
the invention of a clever Greek military
officer, who was bright enough to real
ize what tremendous assistance to the
officials such a map would be during a

A number of caves are found along
the east coast of Santa Catalina, one at
what is called the Isthmus having two
entrances. The largest room is shall

small beach at the further end. The

solid rock for distance Of 40 or so feet,
and a boat can be pushed along the en-
tire length in smooth weather. The tun-
mel opens around point some distance
from the original entrance. In stormy
weather strange pufflnng and groanings
are heard at various points along the
shore, caused by tidal waves. great
holes and crevices that have been worn
by the waves. AS the water rushes in
and fills them at high tide, the air is
forced out in spouts and bursts Of spray.
The region along shore is the hunting
ground of the abalone hunter, who sells
the meat to the Cinnamon, the shells
TO tourists, and the occasional black
pearls found in the folds Of the curious
animal to the highest bidder. At Ava

to the wonders of the sea. The former
are dug from the shell heaps and kitch-
en-middens on the various islands. while
the latter are obtained In various ways,
that of deep-sea dredging being the
most interesting. The net is stretched
upon a beam ten feet in length, and is
fifteen or twenty feet long; the cable
is 1900 fett or more in length.

The Denver "Times" Notes and Ap-
proves the Festival Spirit

In some manner or other the people Of
the United States are determined not to
allow themselves to be devotees, friends
or toleratore Of feelings that are not
cheerful. If they cannot get money
enough to be happy until they get rid of
those who have too much money to be
happy, they evidently propose to bolster
themselves and their good will UP by
other devices.
One of those favorite devices seems to
be the city carnival. For instance. Den
yer is already preparing for the great
Festival Of Mountain and Plain. Los
Angeles, In California, is in the midst of
its annual Fiesta of Roses and Balmy
Climate. New Orleans has only recently
finished with its Mardi Gras. Kansas

left, and a little to the rear, a second reg
iment Is doing duty as advance guard. In
single line behind this are two more reg
iments which are In a position to come
to the support of the first and second If
necessary. The remaining regiments,
with one exception, are divided into two
wings, stretching nearly to the coast.
The central flag represents Prince Con-
stantine's own regiment.
The Turkish troops. 1t will be noticed,
while In something of the same forma-
ton, are advancing in more compact
fashion. and are ready to strike more
decisive blow than the formation of the
Greek troops renders It possible for the
foe Of the Moslem to do. Whenever one
of these regiments changed position the
minister of war was Immediately noti-
fed by telegraph. though of course he
was not at all times as well posted re-
garding the Turkish movements as he
might have been. Still, as the victorious
Ottoman swept up through Philipaida
and across the bridge spanning the Arta
river, the minister of war was COM
PEELED to bring the flag Of his enemy
closer to him.
The Greek regiments at this time were
centered about Milouni, and as the
Turkish troops advanced they fell back
around the town. Therefore the flags
with the crescent moved slowly on
toward the minister Of war as he sat
at his desk in Athens. Twenty-four
hours later came the news of the Turk
ish check and retreat. Then the cross
moved toward the crescent, while the
crescent fell back. So, day after day, as
the minister sat at his desk. the tiny
flags showed to his eye the real situation

THE WORLDS FIGHTING FORCE
Forty Million Trained Men Are Said
to Be Available

Every year seems to make 1t more
probable that the close of the nineteenth
century will mark an epoch in the his
tory Of the world. The thoughts of the
nations have for some time now been
turned to the subject of war, and, in
credible though it may seem, in the
event of general call to arms, nearly
forty million men could be placed in the
field.
According to the London Daily Mails
estimate, the United States can call upon
a greater upmber of trained soldiers
than any other country in tho world.
Although the standing army numbers
only 27,000 men, each state has to sup
port it's own militia, and should 1t be-
ceme necessary as last resource, up
ward of seven and one half million men
could assist in maintaining the inde-
pendence Of the states.
To defend the coast there would be a
navy Of some seventy ships with 10000
men.
OF the European armies, the biggest is
that of France. The number of men in
the active army and its reserves Is
2,350,000 The territorial army is 90O 900
strong, and it's reserve 1 100000, making
a total of some 4,350,000. 1t is not likely,
however, that under any conceivable
circumstances more than 2,500,000 men
could be called out. The navy, with 451
ships, also has reserve of 14,000 men,
of whom about 25,500 are serving at the
present time with the fleet.
Next in point of numbers on war
footing comes Germany. The peace
strength of the standing army Is about
$50, ,000 There has been no late return of
the war strength, but in the last extrem-
ity Germany would have an army of not
far short of 100000 trained men, while
$4,000 men could man the 220 odd vessels
constituting the navy. The Shird great
power is Russia. The total peace foot
ing of this country is 100000 and the war
footing 100000 The navy consists OF
100 ships, manned by $4,000 men.
Italy can boast Of an army numbering
5000, 900, of which nearly 250.0OO are un-
der arms. 100000 are on unlimited leave
and $4,000 are mobile militia and 1885,
600 are territorial militia. The navy
comprises q, 800 men and 22O ships.

should at all times be remarkably
strong one.
Austria Hungary has war footing of
ore and three-fourth Millions but should
the necessity arise, over four million
men would have to take arms in defence
OK their country. The navy has only
total of some $500 men to man the ITO
ships. The permanent army Of Spain
numbers 116,000 which could be in
creased IN time of war to LOSS 900; q, 900
men could man the 10S vessels compris-
ing the navy.
The army Of Switzerland is divided
as follows: The elite 131, 500, the Land
wehr 81. 500 and the Landstrum 273, 200.
Sweden has 38,S46 men and 1000 re-
serves, with a navy of SO ships with 20,-
900 men, and Norway an army of $4,000.

under arms never exceeds, even in war.

900 men could be called upon to serve.
China could bring some 9S0000 men on
the field and Japan 271 900.
OF the smaller powers, there is Rou-
mania, with permanent army of $1,000
men and territorial army numbering
81 900; Portugal. with a war strength Of
1000; Persia, with 24.500 Servia, with

out in extreme emergencies.

quay, Bolivia, Afghanistan. the Argen-
tine Republic. Liberia. Nicaragua, the

can Republic. among them, could num-
ber something like million and half
| of men.
| 1t is terrible reflection that the will
| of one man or a mistake of diplomacy
may bring these armies of the world into
collision. After the first shot is fired no
one can say when and where the sacri-
flee will end, and the contemplation that
40 100000 men are armed against each
other, even in the interests of peace"
is not soothing when rumors of war are
so rife. 1t means that all over the globe
one man in every forty of the popula-
ton is ready for the fray.-New York

To Remember in Buying Carpets

in Thessaly far better than anything
which had been told him could have
demonstrated it to him.
Now, while these land operations were
being conducted a series of flags ex-
tending along the shores of Greece from
Athens. showed the movements of the
Grecian fleet, while corresponding flags
bearing the crescent, along the shores Of
the country occupied by the Turks. in
dicated the position Of the Turkish regi-
ments. Slowly the Greek flags advanced.
until they were directly opposite the
flags that bore the crescent. Then they
remained stationary for several days.
when suddenly the Turkish flags began
to move away from the shore toward the
interior. This done, the Grecian flags
advanced again along the coast and
northward toward Salonica. In every in
stance the Turkish flags We're seen to
move from the shore, and this Of course
meant hat the Turks were being driven
away from the seacoast by the guns of
King Georges fleet. '
Thus 1t was, while the flags along the
coast gave the minister of war exceeding
joy, the position of the flags in Thessaly
and thereabouts was not calculated to
promote cheer in the heart of the Gre
clan government. A record is kept of the
movement of every flag, and this is the
record Of the regiment which it repre-
sents. This method makes it possible for
the Grecian minister Of war to trace
the course of each regiment from. the

that comes This Is really the most ac-
curate war record that exists, for it is
the story Of actual operations, told, not
by some person engaged therein, but by

history Of an army

It is essentially a military map, and
therefore Is complete regarding certain
features Of which the ordinary map
takes no cognizance.
Sticking up from various places on
this map are noticed little flags, some of
which bear the cross and others the
crescent. These flags and their posi-
tions indicate the movements Of the
Grecian and Turkish armies. The ac-
companying illustration indicates ex-
actly how the minister of war sees the
progress Of the campaigns Of the Greeks
and Turks. For instance, when Edhem
Pasha made his famous advance toward
Larissa, the Grecian minister saw at
once saw what he was trying to do. AS
the forces slowly advanced to Kritiri,
the Turkish flag moved forward on the
map and the Grecian flag fell back
slightly, this being exactly what the op-
posing forces were doing on the slopes of
Thessaly.
When, however, Edhem Pasha's vic
tory-flushed troops were met by the
splendid fighting Of the Greeks, who
forced them back. the flags changed DO
sition again. Finally, the Turkish flags
stood almost in line in the section
about Larissa, while the irregular po-
sition of the tiny banners which bore the
cross showed that the Greek troops were
advancing toward the enemy In de-
tached parties, and without seeming
idea Of a general movement. The illus
tration shows the position, in a general
way, of the Grecian and Turkish forces
before the advance on Larissa was made.
The country In which the fighting is
really taking place is practically that In
and around Thessaly. OF course the
coast conflicts form another matter. but
the infantry engagements have princi-
pally taken place in the territory named.
The Grecian flags. which, It will be
seen, are nearest to the hand Of the
minister of war, show exactly the form
in which the regiments advanced. In
