KuRoPATKIN KNEW.

General Kuropatkin, as minister of war. opposed the present war and ex- erted all of his influence in favor of peace. This is the second time Kuro- patkin has advanced peace when Rus sia clamored for war. The following historical incident, the absolute accura- cy of which I can vouch for and which has never before been published, is in teresting at this time.
 In 1885 the Penjdeh incident-the at tempt of Russia to encroach upon the frontier of Afghanistan, which brought the Afghans and the Russians into an armed collision-came perilously close to involving Great Britain and Russia in war. So imminent, apparently, were hostilities that Parliament granted an emergency credit, the reserves were called out and the fleet was mobiHzed. After some weeks of intense anxiety a diplomatic settlement was elected.
 Some years later General Kuropatkin said to d high placed British official: 'You English accuse me of being An glophobe and advocating war with En gland. Do you know that alone pre- vented war over the Penjdeh incident? We'll, it is a fact. The Czar sent for me and informed me that in a few days war would be declared and that was to take command of the force which was to invade Afghanistan.. I express ed my sense of the honor, but urged him not to undertake the enterprise. He manifested surprise and asked my reasons. I told him that the force available in Central Asia for forward movement amounted only to 45,000 men, and that we should have to deal with from seven to ten millions of Afghans, warlike people trained to fighting, and that back of them were 30O,000 British and native troops. At first my statement was not believed, but when I brought forward the facts to prove it's accuracy, the impossibility of the undertaking was realized and the thought of war was abandoned. F.
 tThe statement is also interesting for another reason. In 1885, Kuropatkin apparently was the only man in Rus- sia who knew the resources of his own country and those of his enemy. Pre- cisely the same conditions appear to have existed twenty years later. The Russian war party looked upon the in- vasion of Afghanistan as a military promenade, much as the French did in 1870, who thronged the boulevards, shouting "A Berlin!" and really imag- ined that nothing would impede their progress. When Russia forced war up- on Japan, she did it with the confident belief that she held her foe at her mercy and that a, few months would see the terms of peace dictated in To- kio. The resources of Japan, her fight ing capacity and her superior. adyant-

CAUSE OF RAILROAD wREcKs.

Spikes in the Ties, Says This Author.
 I will make statement that will be challenged, but which cannot be dis proved, writes Frederick Adams in Sue cess Magazine. The abnormally heavy locomotive, now the standard on Amer ican railroads, is the positive cause of a large percentage of railroad accidents, most of which are charged against the other factors Of equipment or service. The craze for powerful locomotives set in about 1878. Prior to that time the average locomotive weighed from tWen- ty-five to fifty tons. Our roads were planned for engines of this type and weight. The rails, switches, bridges, viaducts and other features were in conformity to the medium weight loco motive. It was discovered that there was an economy, in big freight engines hauling large number of cars, and thereby doing away with trainmen. It was also discovered that the greatest source of safety in case of the inevita- ble collisions was a car so solidly con- structed that it would smash through the weaker ones. ''
 To haul these heavy cars at high speed required engines of increased size. The mechanical world was sur prised when the seventy-ton locomotive was announced. Then it went to eigh- ty, then to ninety, and there was much acclaim when the one hundred ton monster was turned out of the shops. A passenger locomotive that does not weigh one hundred tons is now consid- cred out of date. To meet the terrible ifpact of these monsters the size of the rails has been slightly increased, but we still hold them to the ties by the primitive method of spiking them down. What is the consequence? The rails spread on a curve, and sometimes on straight piece of track, and a dis astrous wreck ensues. Such accidents have increased at an alarming rate.
 It is an open secret that hundreds of accidents are charged against mis- placed switches when the cause should read ripped up switches" It seems impossible to construct interlocking switches that are safe against the well nigh resistless impact of one hundred or more tons of metal hurled forward at a speed of seventy miles an hour. The tracks and switches are too weak for the locomotives. There is no doubt in the world about 1t. There is not a railroad man in the country whog does not know that this statement is abso- lutely true.

AFRICAN PEANUTS.
Have Been Imported Into This Country
 In Large Quantities.


 in Large Quantities.
 An invasion of African peanuts into the markets of the United States is re- ported to the State Department by United States Consul General Skinner, at Marseilles, France. During the last year over $25,O00 worth of these nuts were exported from Marseilles to the United States American peanuts are well known in Europe, and the turn of affairs has created some surprize. It appears to have been due, however, to an unusual shortage in the American crop rather than to any special demand for the African product.
 Consul General Skinner says he is informed by experts that the African nuts are inferior to the American nuts for comestible purposes, although richer in oil. The Virginia peanut is undoubtedly the finest in the world in quality, but yields so poorly in oil as to render impracticable the creation of an oil-crushing industry in the United States, says the consul general, unless steps are taken to secure new variety combining the advantages of the stand ard American nut with the percentage of oil in the foreign nut.-Fron the Washington Star.

---.-----------5.--- THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is inT
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that ci1ar- I foal Is the safest and most efficient dis. tnfectant and purifier in nature, butt few realize it's value when taken intos the human system for the same cleans ing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the morel you take of 1t the better; 1t is not al drug at all, but simply absorbs the gasses and impurities always present. in the stomach and intestines and car ries them out of the system. < x Charcoal sWeetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions hnd other odorous vegetables.
 N Charcoal effectually clears and ini- 1 proves the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 X It absorbs the injurious gases whicht collect in the stomach and bowels It disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 I All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics! in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in much improved conditionE of the general health, better complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of 1t is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: T advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all pa-F tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; also believe the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a boxl lat drug stores, and although in some sense q patent preparation, vet believe 1T get more and better charcoal in Stu arts Charcoal Lozenges than in anyl tas4AAaeAaaiaanusasarnaalstahletal2
