Sir Johe Furlbert, who has been
identified Nth the National Red Cross
Society since its organization in 1868,
md is said to know more about Red
Cross and ambulance work than any
other man in Europe, is also an old
experienced volunteer.
Some years ago, as he relates in his
recent book, I'm Peace and War" Sir
John accompanied the British volun-
teers to Belgium, where, encouraged
by the sight of many Belgian COM
rades with bemedaled breasts, some of
the Britons were inclined to follow
their example, n consequently re-
Quired to be closely inspected.
One day Sir John spotted a man on
parade who astonished him by the
number of his medals. He was evil

That Deadly Harpin-


That deadlyimpiement the harpin Of
modern times. is a descendant OF an
equally formidable toilet article used
by Roman women.
The Aspasias and Julias and Claud-
las who decked themselves a couple Of
thousand years or more ago.t to the un-
doing of the particular Balbus OF Mar
Gus they desired to fascinate, wore
bone hairpins of prodhgious length.
Yet, like the women Of this present
time, they seem to have experienced
the same difficulty in keeping them in
place. This fact came to light during
excavations at Silchester, in England,
a hundred or so of these bone hairpins
being found in the Roman bath, col
lected. maybe, by the bath attendant,
20 prove all these centuries later that
there is nothing new under the sun,
and that in all ages the same little
foibles have been possessed by women.

TREASURES OF IMMIGRANTS.

Russians Carefully Guard Rich Heir
looms They Bring Here.
Few Americans would believe that
nearly every Russian peasant that
comes to this country carries in the
bottom of his shabby trunk heirlooms
of such that an age that they are
almost worth their weight in gold.
In Worcester there are several OF these
heirlooms in the possession Of Russians
who have emigrated to the United
States, but it is almost impossible to
buy them.
So said A. C. Warner, a collector
Of relics, in the Worcester Telegram.
Lately Mr.. Warner has become an en-
thusiast over things of great age that
come from Russia, and nearly every
week he makes a trip through the He
brew-speaking and Italian-speaking
quarters Of Worcester, in the hope that
he may find Russians who have heir
looms to sell. He has succeeded in
securing several, including brass can
dlestocks and pewter ware.
These Russian heirlooms," be said,
"are very old, some OF them $50 years
old, and others much older. Recently
in a certain part of Worcester / anne
across a pair Of CO ndlesticks thirty
inches high and ensmeled over with
silver. 1t was over 200 years old, and
mind you the Russian thought so much
of it that he toted it all the way from
Russia in his little trunk. 1 made al
offer of $50 for the relic, which was
proudly refused.
"You will find few of these candle
sticks alike in design. Most of them
are made of solid yellow brass and
weigh from two to three pounds. Other
heirlooms that are brought over are
teakettles, teapots and cooking uten-
sis, all made Of hammered copper. 1
brass with a boiler and a place I'M
derneath in which to burn charcoal.
Among other things that the Russians
take away with them when they leave
the old country are solid silver cups,
spoons, knives and forks.
"These things have been handed
down from generation to generation.
and are very old. When a girl gets
married in Russia she is given three
candlesticks, and this is the reason
why almost every Russian family that
hits America is supplied with an
abundance Of these ancient candle
sticks. The Russians prize these heir
looms as much as we do our family
bibles and they don't part with them
unless they are positively obliged to-"

He Wasn't a Dude.

I'VE had a queer passenger on one
of our cars a few nights ago." said
a Pullman conductor, who runs to
Kansas City from the West, yester-
day. He was a big cowpuncher
from Colorado who had been induced
to ride for the first time on a Pull
man by a friend. He was going to
Fort Collins, Col. During the night
the porter BACKED the cowpuncher's
boots. Next morning the passenger
called me .
Say" he said. I can't find my
boots. l left EN- hyar last night
"'Aren't those yours? l asked,
pointing to the polished boots.
"eNo, sir; they hain't. My boots
hain't never been BACKED an they
hain't never goin' to be- When
finally convinced him that they were
his boots he got mad.
"'What'd he do it fer" he asked
with a scowl. I'll let you know I
hain't no dude
"As he pulled the boots on he
growled: That settles this hyar
Pullman business with me. Hyar-
after I'll ride on stock trains, where
a man don't have to be so - sty-

DISLIKE THE oAYER BIRDS.
Those of Darker Piumage Seem
Ready to Attack Brighter Ones.

Birds of brilliant plumage in these
parts not only fare i'll at the hands
of men, but are the objects of sus-
picion and apparent dislike even to
their feathered brethren of palmer
attire. Some of the brilliant birds
are mere migrants, seen here only in
spring and fall.
The bluejay is one of these. He is
a special victim of the pot hunters,
but his vigor and energy protect him
from other birds. The ruby throated
hummingbird, one of the few regular
summer residents of brilliant plum
age, is so small and swift that he
usually escapes molestation. The
sparrows and other small birds, in
deed, seem to fear the humming bird.
With his long, keen bill and buzzing,
invisible wings he is a sort OF ami
mated torpedo boat of the air.
OF the regular summer residents OF
considerable size the scarlet tanager
or blackwinged redbird is the most
brilliant. These birds are scarce in
some years and relatively plentiful
in others, though their number is
always small in comparison with the
hosts of the robins, catbirds, wood
thrushes and sparrows. The tanagers
are always more frequently seen in
late spring than in midsummer.
Some of them doubtless go further
north to nest and others are killed for
the sake of their plumage. Some
however, stay the summer through
and raise their broodS.

You NEED SUCH A TONIC
Until Mulls Grape Tonic Was rough
to America, the Following
Was Incurable.

Was Incurable.

$1,000 people die yearly from the results
OF Constipation and Stomach Troubles and
their attending ills. Nine In every ten
have 1t. Many don't know 1t, and a good
many who do know 1t neglect it until it
Is too late. Som get so bad they think
1t Is incurable, and then they resort to
the physic or pill habit, where the real
trouble begins. You and / know that
Pills and Physic make us worse, we be-
come a slave to them. and finally they lose
their power and paralysis Of the intestines
occurs, and then slow death.
Now Constipation and Stomach Trouble are
Just as durable as other diseases; we have
proved this fully by curing over %. 1000 the last
two years.. Many of these were the most
chronic. serious. complicated kind in which ali
other remedies and doctors had failed and
despaired OF, but our treatment cured
them quickly and to stay cured.
Mr.. Thompson, Of Peoria, who had suf-
fered all his life and had given up hope,
was cured by "a bottles. DIR. Dill, of st.
Louis, whose health haG been broken
down. claims that several bottles cured
him, that it is a splendid medicine for
Stomach and Bowels, and the best general
tonic he ever saw. DR.. Hedrlck, Of Kansas
City, who had constipation SO badly that
he verged upon nervous collapse, says to
his great surprise after trying everything
else was cured by Mull's Grape Tonic; he
says 1t Is the best thing Tor pima and
Bowels and kindred ills, that has come to
his attention in his professional career.
Mrs. Alcoba, OF Chicago, who was a con-
frmed invalid for years, after taking a
thorough course Of Mulrs Grape Tonic,
says she was able to leave her bed after
the third bottle, and is now enjoying good
health. b had tried everything that
came to her notice. Mr.. Crow, Of st.
Louis. had dyspepsia: liver and bowel trou-
bic for 30 years, which he contracted dur
Ing the Civil War. He said he never could
get anything that even afforded him re-
lief, but that a short treatment Of Mull's
Grape Tonic completely cured him. He
recommended 1t to old soldiers. so many
Of whom suffer with the same complaint.

Karawanken, S,715 yards, or almost
FIVE miles, and the lauren, 9,247.75
yards, or considerably more than five
miles.
The was adopted about
five years ago and work was begun
soon afterward. The shortest of the
tunnels was completed on March 1,
this year. The Kakawanken tunnel
was opened soon afterward, the men
from opposite ends meeting on May
II. When they did the difference in
the levels of their excavation was
less than three inches, and the hori-
zontal deviation about three-quarters
of an inch. More work remains to
be lone on the Karawanken tunnel
before it is ready for service, but the
most important part (the rock cut
ting) is virtually finished. Progress
on the Tauern tunnel has been only
about half as rapid as on the Kara
wanken. A year or two more will
probably be required to fl 1t for duty.
The Wocheiner tunnel goes through
rock of such a character that it was
decided to have separate passages for
each of the two tracks. Only one of
the twin holes is finished, but railway
travel through it in both directions
will be begun oon When its mate
is ready traffic will be conducted in
the two separately. The Kawanken
and Tauern tunnels are both design
ed to accommodate a double track.
There are in all about 15.5 miles
of tunnel on this railway, and the
summit level is at a height of 4,01S
feet above the sea. There are prob
ably but few other lines in existence

difficulties have had to be surmount-

Cold Sweats, TwitchIng Nerves and
Weakness Cured by Or. Williams
Pink Pills.

Nature Furnishes. every infraction of
her laws. and careless habits easily lead
to the condition described by Mr.. Will
liam Browne, of No. 1919 Lincoln street,
st. Joseph, Mo. Mr.. Browne is an ex-
pert timer in the employ of the National
Biscuit Co. He gives the following ac-
count of a trying experience:
"In the spring of 1902" he says,
"while / was regularly working at my
trade, / grew somewhat careless in my
habits of eating and drinking, and finally
found that my appetite was tickle, a bad
taste fingered in my mouth, my nerves
twitched and were beyond my control,
my kidneys were out of order and cold
sweats would break out over my body at
odd times. Perhaps, while / stood talk
ing with some one, this trembling
of the limbs. and profuse sweating, and
a severe chill would seize me. l i became
alarmed at my condition and, having
read an endorsement of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, l got a box and began to use
them. They helped me at once. After
/ had used one box the twitching of the
nerves, the trouble with the stomach
and the cold sweats stopped and have
not reappeared, and my appetite is good.
i have told all my friends that DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills cured me and l recon-
mend them to everybody"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cured Mr..
Browne because nothing a strengthen
the nerves except good rich, red blood
and DIR. Williams Pink Pills actually
make new blood. They don't act on the
bowels. They don't bother with mere
symptoms. They drive from the blood
the cause of anemia, indigestion, ner.
