A strange custom prevails among q
certain tribe In the Caucasus. When
single young man dies, some one calls
upon a bereaved parent who has car
ried to the grave manageable daugh-
ter in the course of year and says:
Your son is sure to want wife. I'll
give you my daughter, and you shall de-
liver to me the marriage portion in re-
turn" A friendly offer Of this descrip-
ton Is never rejected, and the two par
ties soon come to terms as TO the
amount Of the dowry, which varies &C.
cording to the advantages possessed
by the girl in her lifetime. Cases have
been known where the young mans ia

to be content with the half promise that
they might meet at camp, and straight
way Randolph Barry began to count
the days which must elapse before the
encampment.
Yet their meeting on the evening OF
the first day had not been encourage

ed him as she did her other friends.
And this second interview! He ground
his teeth as he thought of his folly. An
hour later he laid his version Of the
encounter with the sentry before Major
General Goodwin, commander of the
two brigades in camp.

General Goodwin was silent a mo-

the half bantering manner which had
marked the interview on his part. His
tone was kindly and sincere: II under

One of the most famous widows OF
antiquity was Agrlpptna, the widow OF
Germanicus. During the lifetime Of
her husband she attended him In all his
campaigns and shared his dangers.
Suspecting that her husband had been
poisoned, she had his presumed muir
derer assassinated and was herself
soon after treated with such indignity
by Tiberius that she was driven to
despair and starved herself to death.

THE DANGER OF ALCOHOL.
The Liquor Habit uneonsoiousIy 40.
quired by overinduIeenco In So
eiabIe Drinkine-All Glasses
Of Society Affected.

1t is unquestioned that the habit OF
so called social drinking is greatly
responsible for the many cases Of de.
plorable drunkenness which confront
us on every side. Social drinking Is
the path by which these unfortunates
have been led to acquire an abnormal
craving for alcoholic stimulants
Once the drink habit obtains foot
hold it travels with alarming rapidity
until the point is reached where the
imbiber realizes that he is becoming a
victim to alcohol and determines to
stop. He finds himself i'll equipped for
the battle, his nerves are shattered and
shaking, his will power inert, and, pos
sessed with that indescribabIe, intense
and overpowering craving for alco-
holic stimulants, he easily gives up the
contest for supremacy. Unless he OBJ
tains aid the question of his utter and
abject enslavement is only a question
of time
Just what can you do for met" was
the question asked at the Oppenheimer
Institute by man who had wrecked
his business and was near the end.
The reply was: I'VE cannot give you
brains or moral character We can
take away your craving, and it will
never of itself return. In twenty-four
hours we can leave you In a room
alone with glass Of whisky on the
table, and you will not touch it, assum-
ing, of course, that you really want to
get away from it."
Excuse me, DOCTOR" was the mans
reply. Il have known you many years
and have profound respect for your
character, but | do not believe you.
OF course you think you are telling the
truth, but you don't know my craving.
Why, when that craving is on me
would do anything / would rob my
own mother. l would sell my soul to
get the whisky, for l must have it.
And you say that in twenty-four hours
you can place glass of whisky before
ME and l will not want it. Excuse me,
but cannot believe it,"
And yet twenty-four hours later that
man said, You were right" Laying his
hand on the table: place the whisky
there. 1t will be perfectly safe. l
have no desire whatever for it. Surely
this is the most wonderful medicine in
the world"
The Oppenheimer Institute, New
York, is administering a treatment for
alcoholism which is Endorsed by many
men of national reputation, highest
and character. The craving
for alcoholic stimulants Is entirely re-
moved within forty-eight hours and
the patient restored to normal health
in a short time. There is no interior
ence with the usual business pursuit
nor need it be known that the treat
ment is being taken. The Oppenheimer
Institute will send interesting litera-
ture on alcoholism in reply to re-

California's giant trees, the seQuoias,
thousands Of years old, have been pre-
served to this day because Of their
enormously thick bark. From time to
time In the course Of ages forest fires
have swept through the big tree lands,
destroying everything, yet only scorch-
ing for couple Of inches depth or SO
the almost flreproof bark. The flames,
having carbonized that much Of the
bark, could not penetrate farther, for
the carbonized portion formed an alb
solutely fireproof covering for the re-
mainder Of the interior bark.
