EatefuI History Of Ruu.

1t is stated on the authority of a
London magazine that the cZarina,
fearing the baleful influence of a his
toric rug sent by the sultan of Turkey
as gift to the imperial parents on the
occasion of the infants birth, has sent
the young heir to the throne TO place
of hiding known only to herself and
the czar. The rug sent by the sultan
is said to be one known as Tine Blood
stained Rug of the Tenth Century"
which was taken from the walls Of a
Moorish palace in the twelfth century,
when it was pronounced bewitched.
1t next appeared in Rome in the four
teenth century, but was banished from
an Italian palace because of its uncan-
ny influence and was moved from
place to place during the next 100
years. leaving death and destruction
in It's wake. 1t was lost during the
sixteenth century, reappearing in the
palace OF the sultan at the beginning
of the eighteenth, where 1t remained
until sent to St. Petersburg. where II
arrived at the beginning OF the war

DEFECTS IN RUSSIAN VESSELS.

A French naval officer has been at

ships were crank and their water line

This deep loading caused the vessels

French expert, holes made by the
shells from the Japanese feet were
thus frequently under water. which,
with the vessels in ordinary trim,

Safety in Proprietary Medicines.

Replying to the charge that certain
popular proprietary medicines contain
narcotic drugs, an authority says:
Some years ago one of the leading
pharmacists CT America, in connection
with some official work, undertook to
ascertain, by an elaborate inquiry in
representative cities of the country,
what percentage OF physicians pre-
scriptions contained a narcotic drug
of some kind Out OF 100000 repre-
sentative prescriptions, dispensed in
drug stores in all parts of the United
States, i; was found that 20 per cent
contained opium or some one OF its
preparations.
proprietary medicines are almost
invariably accompanied by the most
detailed and specific directions for use,
while the directions accompanying
physicians prescriptions are generally
very brief and sometimes illegible. It
Is also true that but a moderate pro-
portion of proprietary medicines con-
tain any poison or narcotic, and, when
they do, it is generally in such small
quantities or so protected by accom-
panying antidotes, as to carry with it
no danger whatever

in plain English to those about to IN

The result is a mass OF mis-lnforma-
ton and confusion about the whole
subject
For instance, an agent was trying
to insure an editor on some new plan.
The editor had a theory that any
fact could be put into plain, everyday
English if the man behind the fact
really knew what he was talking
about. After listening to an involved
flow of "preniums," "deferred dlv1-
dends," "cash surrender values" and
"optional choices" he said gravely:
See here, I don't understand what
you're talking about. But I'll tell
you what III do. II you'll write that
proposition out in plain English SO
that an ordinary man can understand
it I'll not only take the policy, but
III publish the explanation as an ar
ticle and pay you a hundred dollars
for it,"
Twill |? Sure l WILL" exclaimed
the overjoyed agent, thinking he had
indeed struck an easy job. And he
departed adjuring the editor not to
forget.
A week passed by. The agent
called up on a telephone to say that
he was working on the thing. There
was less exultation in his voice.
Two weeks more elapsed. The
editor had forgotten the whole thing,
when the agents card came IN one
day followed by the man himself.
"Well," said the editor, "got my
article?'
"N-no," said the tagent sheepishly
'The fact is, I guess I can't do it
the way you want it, after all. Let's
call it off,

this is typical.
