A SUSTAINING DIET.

These are the e%nervating Gays, when
as somebody has said, men drop by tht
suuslroke as ii Inc Day of Fire hAO
d 'wned. They are traught with dan
g r to people whose systems are poorly
sustained; and this leads us to say that
the full effect Of Hoods Strsaparilla
is such as to suggest the propriety Of
calling this medicine something beside;
a blood purifier and tonIc,-say, a sus.
tanning diet. 1t makes 1t much easier
to bear the heal, assures refreshing
sleep, and will without any doub.
avert much sickness at this time o.

ROPE TRAMwAYs OF PoMPEH
Produced Cables Of Wire Such as Are
Supposed 70 BE Of Modern
Invention.

Ropes made of various kinds Of
fiber and leather are of very an
Gent date. Ropes of palm have
been found in Egypt in the tOmbs
of Beni-H assan about 5000 B. CD
and on the walls of these tombs is
also shown the process Of prepar-
ing hemp, says the Philadelphia
Record.
The Bible tells us that Samson
was bound with ropes and that the
spies sent by Joshua into Jerichu
we're let down in a basket, pre-
sumably by means of a rope.
AT Nimrud, Assyria, a carved
slab showing the siege Of a castle
was found, on which a soldier was
represented in the act of cutting
a rope to which a bucket for draw
ing water from a well outside the
castle walls was attached.
The wire rope is generally con-
sidered a modern invention, a pro-
duet of modern skill, and it will
surprise many to learn that its
manufacture is really a rediscOv-
cred lost art.
Although the Assyrians praO-
ticed the art of wire beating, no
evidence has been found to indi-
cate that they used wire for MAX
ing rope.
The excavations at POmpeii
have, however, brought to light a
piece of bronze wire rope nearly
10 feet long and about one inch in
circumference. This rope is now
in the museO BorbOnico at Naples,
1t consists of three strands laid
spirally together, each strand
being made up of 10 wires twisted
together, andlts construction does
not, therefore, differ greatly from
that of wire ropes made to-day.
POmpeii was buried A. D. 70
1926 years ago, but how long wire
ropes had then been known it il
impossible to tell, though, judging
by the knowledge shown in tn,
construction, it may be safely con
cluded that they had been known
for a considerable time.
AS to the use of rope tramwayl
it is said that they were in use a
early as 1914.

A school for dogs is the latest
development of the educational
movement. 1t has been estab-
lished in Paris with the object of
teaching, not letters, but polite
ness. The schoolroom is furnished
with chairs, tables and rugs, to
give the necessary local color"
to the surroundings. The dog
pupils are trained to welcome Wis,
itors by jumping up, wagging the
tail and giving a low bark. When
the visitor leaves the dog accom-
panies him to the door and bows
his farewell by bending his head

indeed work the Inauguration of a new
era for Russia. Emperor Nicholas, the
initiator of the plan for universal dis
armament, may turn back upon the re-
dictionaries and crown his reign by
granting to his subjects the constitu-
ton which his grandfather had already
prepared when he fell by the hand OF
an assassin.
The basis of such possibility is the
insignificant fact that late yesterday
afternoon the emperor received in the
palace at Tsarskoe- Selo NJ Shipotf of

SQUADRON IS AT SUEZ

LONDON, Nov 2G.--The Japanese
army has been ordered by the general
staff at Tokyo to renew its attack on
Port Arthur and TO take the main
fOrtitications at any cost.
Such move has been expected to
transpire as soon as the Japanese
learned that the squadren's trip was
an actually and no mere demonstra-
ton. The authorities are prepared 10
hear terrible reports of the projected
assault. While not hazarding guess
whether the fortress can be carried If
the besiegers are utterly regardless Of
human life. they are confident that
General Stoessel will be able to make
such an attack one of the costliest op-
erations in the history of war.
