Words and Ideas.

Definite words are necessary, says
Engineering Record, for the expression
of definite ideas Hence scientific terms
have to be employed. A term has one
definite meaning which does not change
with time. The rush of affairs drifts
words from their original meanings, as
ships drag their anchors in gale, but
terms sheltered from common use hold
TO their moorings forever The word
let, for example, has drifted in 200
years from meaning hinder until now
it means permit: but the term bisect
has remained unaltered in significance
for centuries

AN IMPERIAL REVIEW.
Emperor Nicholas Bids Farewell to
Troops Leaving for the East.
(By the Associated Press.

Wy the Associated IeSo'j
Kararkoff, May 17.-Emperor Mich
olas' long journey, the purpose of
which is to say farewell to the Tenth
and Seventeenth army corps, in serv-
ing the double purpose of stimulating
the officers and men on the eve of
their departure for the front and of
stirring the patriotism of the people
to a high pitch of enthusiasm.
Today he reviewed a division OF
the Tenth corps under the command
of Lieutenant General SloutcheWsky,
who will lead the corps into battle.
The division was drawn up into loose
formation on a vast plain, carpeted
with wild flowers.
The front OF the division extended
for a quarter of a mile long three
sides of a square in a hollow of which
was massed a black line OF people,
twenty deep. Through the wall of
people suddenly burst the Emperor,
followed by his suite galloping rap
idly to the front OF the troops Wild
vivaS, shouts and cheers greeted the
Emperor's appearance. He rode a
mettlesome chestnut stallion with a
plain saddle cloth like that of an or
binary trooper and wore a simple
dark green field uniform with the
white cap of a colonel of infantry.
When the inspection was finished
the bands were massed the troops
wheeled and then the review began.
His Majesty called all the commanding
officers down to the captain around
him and talked to them earnestly and
spiritedly of the empires great inter-
ests which were at stake i'm the Far
East, arousing the greatest en-
thusiasm. Then again he passed be-
fore the men, stopping his horse at
every few PAGES and speaking per-
sonally to them of the duty of acquit-
ting themselves we'll. His words
evoked cheer upon cheer and shouts
of eve will do the best we cain for
Your Majesty
In the meantime the crowd became
so frantic that they broke through the
lines and rushed pell nell across the
field. When all was over His Majesty
rode good naturally among the peo-
pie addressing here and there a vet
eran with medals on his breast, asking
where he served and seeming pleased
when the veteran proudly replied that
he had gone through the horrors of
Shipka Pass under the Emperor's
father, then Czarevitch, or participated
in the storming of Plevna.
Repeatedly since his departure from
st. Petersburg the Emperor has talked
of his great desire to go to the front
and he said he would assuredly go if
the succession to the throne were as
Sured.

in his own extensive private practice
with the most startling success.
Though the years have passed its
equal has never been found, and with
thousands of weak men have brought
about the cures they so much longed
for. The doctor willingly sends the
formula entirely free to any man who
writes him for it, and they will find il
gift of lasting value. 1t is good for
sexual weakness, lost manhood, nel.-
vousness, weak back, emissions Vari-
coCele, lack of force, prostate trouble,
night sweats, inability and many other
embarrassing conditions that befan
the sexually imperfect man. 1t creates
an immediate social feeling, warmth
and good nature, forces active blood
to the muscular tissue, tones the ner-
vous system and arouSeS bodily conf
dence. 1t makes the man of IS as
good as at 80, and the young man
again eager for society and fit for ma :
riage and parenthood. Satisfactory
results are produced in a days use,

If you need such a remedy send
your name and address today to the
DR.. Knapp Med. Co, $50 Hull Bldg.
Detroit, Mich, and in an unmarked
envelope the doctor willsat once send
you the receipt, as promised, explain
ing in detail what ingredients to use
and how to compound them so that
any weak man can cure himself in his
own home without being under obliga-
tons to anyone. 1t costs you nothing
and the sooner you write the sooner
you will be cured

the Cuyler complaint. which was to
have been heard on Saturday of this
week.
1t goes over as is told in Judge
Purnell's order, published elsewhere,
to Saturday week, though the answer
of the Atlantic and North Carolina
railroad is to be put in on Saturday.
The lawyers on both sides are in
the dark as to the plans of Judge
Purnell. Federal court has been
moved up to the 30th, but as the Guy
Ter complaint is set for the 2Sth this
would mean it would run over into
the next week.
The case is going to be a long drawn
out one, and one of Cuyler's lawyers
has limited that three weeks might be
consumed i'm the hearing. There are
many witnesses to be heard and it is
said that among these Messrs. Henry
a. Page, w. II. Lee and K. II. Gray,
the Investigating committee, will be
put on the stand by the Cuyler law
yers.
And Finch is to again come into
action with the forty-seven shares,
which were annexed in his name at
100 plunks a share. Thus it comes to
pass that the CuylerFinch combine,
the old grab game with a hyphen in
it now and McBee relegated to the
side for awhile, is again to the fore.
And by Friday the State will have
fled it's bill of particulars as to GER
tain McBee-Finch conspiracy. 1t is
nearly time to ring up the curtain
