IRENE old age, Mr.. Brock says:

began to make their appearance in this
country l was a sufferer from this dis

"I had several long sieges with

for Ia grippe and found IL TO be Just

RUSSIAN ARMY ODDITIES.
One Regiment Made Up Entirely of
Blonde Men, Another OF Brunettes
The Cars Tall Guards.

There are some queer bodies of
troops in the cars service. One regi-
ment IS made up exclusively of blonde
men. The Chausseur guards are bru-
nettes to the last man. Into the Par
low guards no soldier is admitted un-
less he wears a retrousse mustache.
The biggest men to be found in the
army are selected for the cars body
guaSd. This is an honored command
admittance into which is almost equiv
alent to winning a title of nobility or
at least decoration of honor
Dueling in the army is recognized
and regulated by law. The statute
creates court of honor" which de-
termines whether or not the dispute
is a proper one to be settled by the
code, and if its decision is favorable,
the duel may be pulled OF without fear
of legal consequences.
