1t has therefore been in progress
two years and nearly eight months.
The was has cost Great Britain the

The terms of peace are favorable to
the Beers. All prisoners will be re-
turned to South Africa as soon as
possible. The Transvaal will not
be taxed to pay the expenses OF the
war. Dutch is to be taught in the
schools and used in the courts.

The Women Of Damascus.

The women of Damascus-that is, the
Moslem womon-are more closely veil
cd than those OF Constantinople and
other eastern cities because the people
here are more tenacious in the Observ-
nnce Of the ancient customs OF their
race and the requirements of their re-
llgion. The wells are thicker, also, and
cover the entire face. Some of them
are figured so that the concealment is
even more complete.
Greeks, Jews and Armenians do not
wear wells, and some of them are very
handsome, particularly the Jewish wo-
men. Their eyes, complexion and hair
nre superb. The types of oriental love-
liness remind you of SolOmon's Song.
No women are employed about the
hotels or restaurants. All the "domes-
tic" work is done by men. In the shops
and manufactures of Damascus thou
sands OF women and girls are employ
ed, but they are exclusively Greeks and
Jews. No Moslem would permit his
wife, daughter or sister TO appear in
shop or any other place where men are
employed.-Chicago Record Herald.

A MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM
Can You solve II or Prove That n
Cannot lie SoIyedf

Cannot lie SoIvedf
At lecture at the Royal institution
on the fascinating subject Of Magic
Squares Major +. A. MacMahon, +. II.
S., reminded his audience Of the exist
ence OF Il curious problem which, de-
spite its apparent simplicity, has never
yet been solved. He commended 1t to
the attention Of any one present who
desired TO exercise his ingenuity and
patience.
The problem is as follows There are
thirty-siX officers Of six different ranks
and drawn from six different regl-
mcnts, and it is required 10 arrange
them in a square OF thirty-six compart-
mcnts. so that i'm each row MS well as
I'm each column there appears an OIL
Ger Of each rank and also an officer
from each regiment.
Euler's "Recherchcs Sur une Nouvelle
Espece de Quarres Magiques," which
appeared in 17S2, discusses this prob
lem, bui gives no solution. and the late
Professor Caylcy, writing more than a
century afterward, confessed that 1t
was beyond his powers.
Major MacMahon, who has added 80
much to our knowledge of the theory
Of groups-a fascinating branch Of
mathematics which has an important
bearing on many branches OF physical
science-has not yet found key to the
mystery.
Whoever can solve this problem or
prove that It cannot be solved will
achieve immortality on the lips Of
mathematicins and perhaps open n
door into n new realm of the scientific
wonderland which is called pure math-
ematics.-London Post.

THE CATFISH ZONE.
And the Origin of the Philadelphia
Habit of Catfish nnd WnfHes.

While pessimists have been denounc-
ing the extension Of the pie belt
through the United States and the en-
largement of the saleratus biscuit dis
trict, they have been entirely oblivious
OF the extraordinary development of
the catfish zone. This mischevOus
dweller Of the pool is known 10 the
small boy and the rustic angler under
many names--in one place as a sucker,
I'm another bullhead, i'm a third wolf
fish and, most outrageous of all, in
northern Mississippi rs n shad. But its
own only genuine title is catfish. The
name is derived from the fact that
when the creature is raised from the
water 1t emits grunting protest which
poetical fishermen have pronounced
like the purring Of a family eat.
Philadelphia produced the catfish
habit. For two centuries the animal
was looked at as something which
might be eaten to prevent starvation
until one fine day thrifty Quaker
found that the catfish would eat boiled
cornmeal and that this simple food not
only fattened the eater, but changed
the color of its belly from white to
yellow. He perceived the pccuniary
value of the discovery and established
catfish farm i'm which he fattened the
fishes which he caught elsewhere and
in due season sold them to the Phiia-
delphia markets.
A Quakeress soon after that discov-
cred that the old fashioned waffle,
slightly salted and covered with melt
cd butter, made an Irresistible accesso-
ry to the fish when well fried. This
started the catfish and wafiles, for
which the City of Brotherly Love has
ever since been famous. The habit
spread like an epidemic, and, like the
star of empire, its way was westward.
So far as is known the United States
government has no record of catfish
and watlles east of the Delaware river,
but starting at Philadelphia distinct
catfish zone runs westward, terminal
ing at Denver, reaching as far north
as Minneapolis and st. Paul and as far
south MS Mobile and New Orleans. The
catfish is said TO possess medicinal vir-
tue. 1t is mildly anTsthetc, sOpOrtic
and antispasmodic.-N York Post.

DISEASED STOMACHS
Their Effects on The Brain and Nerves.

But few people know how closely con-
nected are the stomach, brain and
nerves, yet il one will stop TO think,
they can readily see that IL is through
their stomach alone the brain, nerves
and body receive their vitality.
Ii is the stomach and bowels which
take the food after il is eaten, and ex-
tract from il all the nOurishlnent re-
quired 10 give each bone, muscle, nerve
and organ in the body the health and
power TO do its work
When the stomach becomes diseased,
that portion which IL affected fails 90 do
its duty, and all organs thus deprived OF
-lourishment soon become weakened
and diseased themselves.
Diseased stomachs are responsible for
more brain and nerve disorders than all
other diseases combined. and the marked
increase OF such disorders is entirely
due 10 doctoring the nerves and brain
instead Of the stomach.
When that portion Of the stomach
which supplies the brain or nerves with
nourishment is diseased, no good can
come from giving nerve tonlcs or brain
foods, for the diseased stomach cannot
convey them 10 the weakened parts any
more than il can the nourishment from
food.
To cure any Of the many disorders
arising from Indigestion and dyspepsia,
il is absolutely necessary TO first heal
the diseased stomach, and until this is
done there is no hope Of permanent
cure.
lust at present there is but one treat
ment known which has for its sole OBJ
ject the healing Of the diseased stomach
and bowels, and this explains why
MI-o.SA, the new vegetable remedy, has
cured more cases Of dyspepsia, indiges-
ton, nervous prostration, flatulcncy and
gastric troubles within six months, than
all the so-called dyspepsia cures during
the past ten years.
MI-o-NA heals the diseased digestive
organs quickly and surely marked i'm
provement being noted within three
days.
The nerves become steady, the brain
clearer, the muscles stronger, and In a
short time the most confirmed dyspeptic
begins TO feel that life is worth living
after all.
