the forehead, cropped, but not thin
in the neck, and rather a dirty look
light blue or gray eyes; a capacious
forehead; high nose; short upper lip;
good, white, even teeth, but small
(he rarely showed them); round chin;
the lower part of his face very full
pale complexion; particularly short
neck. Otherwise his figure appeared
well proportional, but became too
fat; a thick, short hand. with taper
fingers and beautiful nails, and a we'll
shaped leg and foot. He was dressed
in an old threadbare green coat, with
green velvet collar and cuffs; silver
buttons, with a beast engraven upon
them; his habit dechasse, lit was but
toned close to the neck); a silver star
of the Legion of Honor; white waist
coat and breeches; white silk stock
ings and shoes with oval gold buckles.

Tic Most Ancient Macbine Tool.


There can be very little doubt that
the potter's wheel, OF potter's lathe,
as it is also termed, represents to-day
the most ancient form of machine tool
known. Among the many sculptured
records of the trades and occupations
which SO wildly represent the GUS
toms and habits of the ancient Egyp-
tians, the potter and his wheel have
been found frequently depicted, and
1t is curious to note that through the
almost countless generations since
that time this crude form of lathe has
undergone no material modification.
The primitive form was evidently a
small round table, set on a pivot and
free to revolve, being turned by hand
at intervals; and to this device in
the curse of time such simple con-
v%eniences al a table to support it and
Q foot OF a hand-power turning ar
rangement, displaced in recent years,
in possibly a few isolated cases, by
actual engine-power driving. In gen.
eral use, however, the potter's wheel
of tho present time bears all the char
acteristics of the one which, 1000
years or more ago, served to turn out
pottery attesting indispensable taste
and kill.--Cassier's Magazine.

Brigands in the Caucasus.

The Russian Government has at
last adopted what promises to be an
effective measure for suppressing the
lawless bands of robbers who have for
years past held various districts of the
Caucasus in a state of terror. Some
two years ago the military authorities
at Tifis came to the succor of the peo-
pie by distributing arms and ammuni-
ton among them; in many instances
machine guns were furnished to the
chiefs of mountain villages and isolated
settlements in the plains. For a time
the raiding banditti suffered severe
losses, but by organizing regular
pitched battles against the villagers
and settlers they again got the upper
hand. A body of $500 military and
mounted police, all picked men, has
now been organized for the special
purpose of exterminating the pest,
which is particularly prevalent in the
two governments of Kutais and Kars.
No quarter will be shown to the brig
ands offering resistance, and those
taken prisoner will be tried by court
martial and shot or hanged offhand.

How a Little Boy Was Saved.

r. so al
Washington, D.. C.-'sWhen our boy
was about 16 months old he broke out
with q rash which was thought to be
measles. In a few days he had a
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to be mumps. He
wat given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered a
salve. He wanted to lance the sore,
but I would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became a running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
esch ordered a blood medicine. A
neighbor told me Of a Ease somewhat
like II baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I decided to give
it to my boy and in a short while his
health improved and his neck healed
so nicelythat 1 stopped giving him the
medicine. The sore broke out again,
however. %whereupon I again gave him
Hoods Sarsaparilla and its persistent
use has accomplished a complete
cure" Mrs. NErTIE CHASE, AZ K
