q good deal troubled over the results Of
using cordite for artillery. At recent
practice at Okehamton, out of 18 guns
of the horse artillery using cordite in
place of ordinary powder, 2 guns be-
came useless after firing only two
rounds each.

One objection to the use Of < rays in
examining baggage is that these rays
will spoil any Photographic plates the
traveller may have picked up. Glass or
metal bottles can be detected by the
rays, but not their contents. One can
not tell, for instance, whether they con-
tain orange water or Cognac. It is ex-
pected that the application Of the rays
will have to be abandoned.
Max Haddad, who now lives in re-
tirement in Worcester, Mass, was for.
merly a favorite jockey Of the king o.

ton Of the world. Haddad, a Syrian by
birth, was one Of these. The II rider

Mr.. A. Hilliard,
Dear Sir:-As l have a little spare time

ment today and have order read before

the guard.
He was officer of the first guard mount

The Costa R;can Counterfeiters.

For months the Costa Rican counter
feiters have been issuing bogus notes of
the government of the island until the
amount, it is said, has reached 100000.
Inspectors of the secret service bureau
were chiefly instrumental in bringing the
malefactors to justice. The efficiency of
the secret service is undoubted. but it is
by no means a secret, but a patent fact,
that the service that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters does the weak, nervous and dys-
peptic is of genuine value. There have
been from time to time counterfeits of it,
but the miniature note of hand on the
label, and tine vignette of St. George and
the Dragon, are not successfully imitable.
This tonic absolutely prevents and RENE
dies malaria, rheumatism, liver complaint
and dyspepsia.
