WOnlen's Tailored Suits
A Third TO q Half Off.

1t seems strange that this should be true, but it is.
These Suits are the very newest designs that the best
makers have devised, some Of them so new, in fact,
that they are exclusive with US.
Yet they are to be sold, not only a third under the
regular pricing, but a half in numerous cases. Only
one of a kind in most instances-that has something
to do with the low pricing but each kind is new ami
stylish and each will cost at least a third more if you
wait until later in the season.
$50 Womens Suits Of cheviot, ~broaicoth and Venetian, in black,
blue, brown and gayS. The majority are silk lined throughout;
all Ire beautifully tailored and no sach Suits were ever offered
anywhere at such low prices. Sizes 81, SO and 80. and prices,
$ll6, $ll0 % and $3.50
Women's Suits Of black or blue Venetian cloth; the Jacket cut in
Eton effect, with velvet collar and tafea facing and lining the
skirt with the new, double inverted plat, lined with pertaline.
Sizes % to AZ; priced at.
Women's Suits Of black b~roadcoth; the Jacket in open effect,
trimmed with applique Of silk and braid, notch collar and hheta

THE ACTION

is a marvel of mechanical skill,
SO delicate and sensitive that its
capacity for execution is unIim-
tied.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1900-08-24

1t has been proved that the compare
lively harmless bomharding. so far as
wounds are concerned of besieged
town is terribly demoralizIng to the
bravcst men.
When shell bursts near group of
20 men ii may kill one and wound two,
while the remaining II escape without
a scratch. 1t will be found however.
that many of these are never the same
men again. No matter how iron nerved
they were before, they are now ir
resolute and timid and all their facul
ties are weakened. Very often they
are jeercd at by their comrades be
cause of this change But this is Ut
terly unjust in fact, their brain and
spinal cord have been injured by being
violently shaken against the walls OF
their bony cavities.
The same thing occurs in railwa.
collisions. People who We're robust
become quite feeble and nervous
though they may not have received a
scratch.
This curious state in the case OF
soldiers is well recognized by doctors
under the name of the mental injuries
of explosives. The injuries are really
quite as physical as shattered leg
for they consist of kind of bruisinl
of the very delicate tissue of the spina
cord and brain.

Nnnnlenn and the Roman Law.

Napoleon | had an extraordinary
mind. He appeared never to forget
anything he cared TO remember and
asslmilatcd information as the stomach
assimilates food, retaining only the
valuable. An incident will illustrate
this remarkable quality of his mind.
When forming the Code Napoleon"
he frequently astonished the council
of state by the skill with which he IL
lustratcd any point in discussion by
quoting whole passages from memory
Of the Roman civil law. The council
wondered how n man whose life had
been passed in camp came to know so
much about the old Roman laws. Fl
nally one OF them asked him how he
acquired his knowledge.
when was lieutenant" Napo
leon replied, Il was unjustly placed
under arrest My small prison room
contained no furniture except an old
chair and n cupboard. In the latter
was n pouderous volume which proved
to he n digest of the Roman law. You
can easily imagine what valuable
prize the book was to me. 1t was so
bulky and the leaves were so covered
with marginal notes in manuscript that
/ had been confined 100 years | need
! never have been idle. When | re.
covered my liberty ut the end of ten
| days, was saturated with Justinlap
ana the decisions of the Roman legis
| lation. 1t was then ! acquired my
| knowledge of the civil law"
