A CITY OF THE PAST.
Z . Remains of Dead Metropolis
III Central Asia.

Chicago Record: OF all the impress
sive sights l have seen in central Asia
this dead city of Merv is the most inn
pressive. Here lie the remains of Il me-
tropolis of q million people famed
through the ages for wealth, learning
and power with not Il human being i'll
all the space dwelling where once the
Multitude lived. Almost as far as the
eye can reach the walls extend, en-
circling the ruins, with gates on all
four sides of the city. Within these
walls the space included measures
many square miles. The scene is one
of absolute desolation. Most of the
area is covered with rubbish no better
defined than ll-shaped piles of crumb-
ling brick heaped on mounds where
the buildings fell, some large, some
small. On the larger ones fragments
of highly colored and glazed tide de-
clare that ornamepted structures of
some sort once stood there. In some
instances it is possible to trace the
direction of the streets by the posi-
ton of successive piles of rubbish ON
either side.
Letting the sight sweep over the
great eNpanse of unduIating hillocks
of broken masonry, it is arrested at
intervals by the few well-prcserved
ruins that remain. These stand like
monuments to the dead city, or senii-
nels on guard over the million tombs.
some of these piles themselves great
tombs, others mosques or palaces. 1T
is a study for the philosopher The
few that are identified with the names
of their builders or their occupants
are either the ruined palaces of The
potentates of the realm, the tombs
wherein the same men are buried. or
the mosques made famous by Moslem
prophets who are equally powerful.
No memory is preserved of the name
or the work of one OF all the millions
who. lived here as simple citizens, all
though it was they who created the
wealth, the commerce, the fame of the
city. Here is the place where each
one who chooses may do his own
moralizing.
or all the ruins the most notable is
the tomb of the Sultan Sandiar. Its
salient feature is a great dome ris-
ing above the crumbling walls and pill
lars, the minarets gone, the brick
walls nearly bare of the glazed tiles
that once covered them. Scrambling.
over the heaps OF broken masonry on
the ground, we made our way through
the great arch that gives entrance to
| the tomb from one side. Under the
dome stands the granite slab which
marks the grave, like that under the
dome of the tomb of Tamerlane in
| Samarkand. The one antetlatcs the
other, however. by several centuries
for the tomb of the Sultan Sandjar is
dated some 500 wears ago. All this

TO POSTPONE OLD AGE.

The latest theory is TO apply elec-
tricity 70 the base OF the brain. The
hardening Of the arteries-the first
sympton-is followed by a crumbllng
away Of the brain cells. This process
produces the mental characteristics Of
old age. Not alone does this treatment
restore the feelings of youth. but pro-
duces the appearance Of II. While
hundreds OF experiments have been pre-
sented. there Is but one way Of pro-
longing youth. and that is by the
preservation Of health. For this pur-
pose. and for the cure Of constipation,
Indigestion, dyspepsia, liver and kid
ney disorders. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters were placed before the public over
fifty years ago. Money cannot buy a
better remedy. Try It. and you viii b.
convinced.
