KNOW MOON is NOT PEoPLED.
Scientists Almost Able to Make Abso-
lutte Assertion.


The moon being much the nearest
to us of all the heavenly bodies, we
can pronounce more definitely in its
case than in any other, says Prof.
Simon Newcomb in Harper's Maya
zine. We know that neither air nor
water exists on tie moon in quaint
ties sufficient to be perceived by the
most delicate tests at our command
1t is certain that the moons atmos-
phere, if any exists. is less than the
thcusandth part of the density of that
around us. The vacuum is greater
than any ordinary air-pump is cap
able of producing. We can hardly
SUPPOSE that SO small quantity of
air could be of any benefit whatever
in sustaining life; an animal that
could get along on so little could get
along on none at all.
But the proof CT the absence of life
is yet stronger when we consider the
results of actual telescope observa-
ton. An object such as an ordinary
city block could be detected on the
moon. If anything ike vegetation
were present on its surface we should
see the changes which it would under
go in the course of a month. during
one portion of which it would be ex-
posed to the rays of the unclouded
sun and during another to the intense
cold of space.

Commerce. the Foe of War.

The commercial union of the world
now in process of development and
proceeding in ever-increasing ratio of
certainty and speed, through the ex-
tension of transportation lines and
the opening of regions that from the
birth of the race till now have lain
fallow, is making more and more alb
horrent the idea of destructive and too
commonly fruitless contests, which
interrupt industry, reverse prosperity,
destroy enterprise, increase disease
and crime and burden the masses
with the obligations of sacrifice. Bet
ter yet is the growing tolerance which
is felt by people of one race and
faith for those whom bigotry and ira
dition have consigned as opponents

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Mr.. PorterThoueht He Should Go Mad
But DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Him.

eft seems like a miracle that Dr.
Williams Pink Pills should have cured
my neuralgia" said Mr.. Porter. " They
are certainly a marvellous medicine and
am always glad to recommend them.
s'For two years, - he continued, 81 had
suffered almost Uncomfortable pains in my
head. They would start over my eyes
and shoot upward most frequently, but
they often spread over my face, and at
times every part of my head and face
would be full of agony. Sometimes the
pains were SO intense that 1 actually
feared they would drive me mad.
"My eyes ached constantly and there
was always a burning sensation over my
forehead, but the other pains varied,
sometimes they were acute, and again
shey were dull and lingering. I could
not sleep. My temper was irritable and
I got no pleasure out of life.
IS 1 tried remedy after remedy, but
finding no help in any of them, be-
came a despairing man. Even when I
began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills I
had no great hope of a cure.
ssThat was in December of 1908. To
my surprise, change i'll my condition
took place right away. The pains grew
less intense and the acute attacks were
further apart, as kept OH using DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills. The improvement be-
gan with the first box, and when l had
used six boxes L stopped. My cure was
complete and has lasted ever since.''
Mr.. Charles H. Porter lives at Ray
mond, N. Fl. He is one of many grateful
people who have found that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills will cure diseases of the nerves
that have stubbornly resisted every other
remedy tried. Not only neuralgia, but
sciatica, partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia yield to them. They are sold by
all druggists, or may be obtained directly
from the DIR Williams Medicine Co..

IN ASIATIC RUSSIA
PEOPLE OF SIBERIA ALERT AND
ENERGETIC.
Western Spirit More Prevalent There
Than in Any Part of the Empire
Peasants Frequently the Possessors
of Large Fortunes.

at is startling paradox that Ash
attic Russia is more western in its
spirit than European Russian, writes
a traveller. THE great impetus of
western energy and enterprise seems
to be circling the globe, having cross
ed the Atlantic, the American CONT
nent and the Pacific ocean. The trav-
eler from Europe begins to feel the
influence at Samara, great business
center on the Volga, the Mississippi
of Russia. Here there are signs OF
commercial prosperity-a hustle and
stir of business unusual in Russia. The
people are more alert and move with
greater energy. They are free from
the deadly torpor of Russian life
East, East, Farther east.' is the
cry all along the great Siberian line
1t corresponds to going west in
America. The farther east one goes
the impression strengthens until, at
Kurgan. the first important Siberian
town one might almost imagine ores
self to be in one of the precocious
cities of the western states.
-eButter is booming in Kurgan-
Everybody who can get hold of
COW is either making butter himself
or selling the milk to a dairy. And
every drop of milk goes into the
churn or into the separator The
children suffer. In the old days, when
wheat was the staple product. each
child had as much milk as it could
drink But now the fluid is too pre-
cious for domestic use, and the popu-
lation live upon bread and tea. From
hundreds of versts around butter
comes pouring into Kurgan, and yet
no
peasant arriving in town makes his
first call at the office of the union.
There he can see a list of the latest
! prices paid by each exporter. He
naturally selects the highest, and then
drives around to offer his butter. He
will visit every firm in town before
he will lower his price by a kopeck
the pood He demands cash payment
and receives it. On the other hand.
If he is purchasing machinery from
any of these firms he demands year
or eighteen months credit, and he
receives that, too.
Many OF these peasants are men
of comparative wealth. Several were
pointed out to me millionaires in
rubles. The younger generation are
displaying greater proclivities for
spending than do their elders. They
delight to drive smart and snowy
horses, and sometimes they will even
pay a visit to Moscow and see life.
The independence, intelligence and
initiative of these Siberian peasants
are doubtless due to the fact that
they have never been private serfs.
They were fixed upon the land. it is
true, but the land was crown domain,
and they could not be bought or
Sold They never experienced the
degrading and demoralizing domestic
slavery to which the private serfs
were subjected

Persistent Woman Gambler.

When in 1744 Lady Mordfngton,
who had gaming house in Covent
Garden was formally charged with
keeping disorderly house she set
the authorities at defiance, boldly
claiming her privileges as peeress

vertise her "assemblies": and it was
not until the House of Lords inter
vened and declared that no person
was entitled to privilege Of peerage
