RUssIAN FOOD FOR PouD ER.

Goirg to war isn't much fun for Russian soldiers, and they certainly don't seem to have much fun after they get there, A recent traveller be- tween Ekaterinoslav and Odessa saw a number of Russian troop trains, and describes his experiences. He says that the cars were ordinary goods vans col leoted from all the railroads of the Russian Empire. A good many belong ed to the Eastern Chinese Railway, the name of which was painted on them in Russian only, In each van several blanks were placed crossways and lengthWays, so as to form benches, but they were so arranged that they could not be of much comfort to any one wishing to sleep, and the men us- .ually slept, or tried to sleep, on the floor. Owing to the fatiguing nature of the journey, the troops were allow ed days rest after three days travel ing. There seemed to be very little in the way of kit in the cars, but some of them had a small iron stove for heating in winter. Tn transporting cav airy or artillery, the horses were placed at each end of the car, with the sad- dles piled up in a pyramid in the in tervening space, which was also occur pied by 3 few soldiers. In each train
 there were two or three second-class cars fortheofficers. The writer says that
 the men were quite orderly in their behavior although occasionally a
 drunken soldier might be seen strug- gling with two companions who were dragging him back to his ear. He was

HAPPY KHARTOUaE

& | l . The English are not only cIvilizing
 Khartoum, but they are making 1t more
 habitable than New Jersey. If the truth is told Khartoum has been clear ed of the mosquito pest and danger. This is one of the results of pr. Bal four's work In the new laboratory. For the last eight months Khartoum has
 been rid of the pestilent insect. This
 means not only new comfort to the community, but immunity from ma
 laria. In the first place, it has been established that the mosquito of Khar- toum is malaria bearing. The species which haunts Cairo is not-it is merely
 troublesome. But the Khartoum in-
 sect is dangerous. It is, indeed, held to be the cause of all the malaria of the
 country. Dr. Balfour has attacked it
 in the breeding places. These are found in the atagnant wells, of which there
 are seven hundred. These have been treated with crude petroleum, which af- fects their public utility only for two or
 three days, but keeps them clear of
 mosquitoes for month. Steamers are
 stopped a mile and half from Khar-
 toum and thoroughly disinfected, all

 recruiting ground of the creature, being treated with petroleum
 Good work. Perhaps by and by our
 own loved East Shore can be made as attractive as Khartounl.

 A boy, when young, is good to have around for running errands and clean ing up the last of the cake and pie. says the Atchison Globe. A little later he is good to have around for some girl to marry, but upon no occasion is he considered so necessary to happi- ness than any one goes out of his way to adopt one. Of course when the Lord leaves a boy his parents make the best of it, and claim that they are sat- isiied, but never Is the yearning for a boy so great that one is adopted from the Soldiers Orphans home at Atchl- son.

This is the way they advertise for a mar in Japan: T am a very pretty girl. My hair Is as wavy as cloud. My complexion has the brilIiancy and softness of a flower. My expression is as mobile as the leaf of the weeping willow. My brown eyes are like two crescents of the moon. I have enough worldly goods to pass happily through life with my husband, hand in hand gazing at the flowers by day and the moon by night. If this should meet the eye of a man who is intelligent, amiable and of good address, I will be his for life, and repose with him later in tomb of red marble" There were S46.00O marriages in Japan last year, but for all that such advertisements as the above appear every day in the Japanese newspapers.

KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH
Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Dis
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills, liquid medicines and so
called system tonics. Under such
treatment the germs of the disease
will still live in the air passages ana
increase and multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientinc anu
thorough way to cure catarrh. Killing
the germs in the air passages II en-
ters the blood with the oxygen, de-
strovs the microbes in the blood ana
effectually drives from the system an
traces of catarrhal poison.
Probably the strongest evidence
that can be offered to the powers
of Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact
that George e. Greene will agree 10
refund the money if you say Hyomei
has not cured you.
The complete Hyomei outht costs
hut S1.00 and consists of an lnhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and bottle Oh
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts lifetime
and if one bottle does not cure, an eX-
ira bottle of Hyomei can DE obtaineu
for so cents.
