GREWSOME DISCOVERIES
They Have Been Made by a German Scientific Party in
 Turkestan.

There has just returned 10 Berlin Dr. A. Von le Coz, the head of the small scientific party dispatched by order of the German emperor to Chinese Turkestan in September, 1904, to carry on the work of ex- cavating in and around the town of Turfan. For the most part these discoveries consist of manuscripts m at least ten different languages and paintings on hardened mud, plaster and wood.
 There are several of tongue , that is declared to be utterly un- known. These last probably will att tract the notice and interest of ethnologists throughout the world. Apparently this language is a yarla- tion of Syriac.
 Other discoveries made by this ex- petition were of a more grewsOme nature. In one temple unearthed from the sands that had long ccv- cred it Dr. Von le Goa found some hundreds of bodies of Buddhist monks. The place was crowded with these to the very doors, and evidence was forthcoming of these having been driven into the temple by the Mongol followers of Confucins and then so fastened in that escape was impossible and death from suffoca- tion was only a matter of time. Probably this massacre took place ten or twelve centuries ago, but when the temple was opened the bodies were found to be in a remark able state of preservation.-Balt- more Sun.

MRS.NElLlE MARKHAM

A nervous irritable woman. often on the verge of mysteries, is q source of misery to everyone who comes under her influence, and unhappy and mis- erable herself.
 Such women not only drive hus- bands from home but are wholly unfit to govern children.
 The ills of women act like a fire brand upon the nerves, consequently seven-tenths of the nervous proStra+ tion, nervous despondency. t Il G 'biues". sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some organic derangement.
 Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with cx treme irritability ? Do you suffer from pains in the abdominal region, Sackache, bearing down pains. dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost continually cross and snappy? If 50, your nerves are in shattered con dition and you are threatened with nervous prostration.
 Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs. Thousands and thousands of women can testify to this fact.

Oregon,s Timber.

The standing timber in Oregon
amounts to 100000 900 900 feet ac-
cording to Charles e. Fields. of Port.
land, who has been consulting Unified
States government reports on the
matter.
This timber, at the present rate
of consumption, not allowing for the
growth Il will make, will last $50
years." said Mr.. Fields. "Of cours..
the rate of denuding will increase as
the years go by, but even then the
value Of standing timber in Oregon
is so vast that there is not money
enough in the whole United States
to bay It at present, based on S12 a
thousand feet.
THE timber of the state Is worth
$4,000, 1000, or about the sum to.
tai of the national debt at the close
OF our Civil War. Very few of us
stop to think about this, and It Is
only by hunting the government fg
ures that correct estimate can be
made.
But we have other things besides
timber that run into dollars prett,
fast. There was a time when W,

posed. Observation was kept on
ninety-seven houses for fifteen days,
any twenty-one children under 4
years of age were discovered, all
hut one on Saturday nights. He
thinks the act of 1909, making ~
penal to be found drunk while in
charge Of child, has had deterrent
effect, and suggests an extension of
the sale to children act.
Drastic measures appear to have
been already taken at Liverpool, and
the Chief Constable (Leonard Dun
ning) writes that instructions were
given at the last annual meeting of
the license committee to watch the
houses where women were encour-
aged to drink.
"In some instances the police have
seen women go in with children,
come out at once, evidently having
been refused drink, leave the chill
dren on the pavement outside and
go in again to get their drink. In
other cases one woman has been seen
to stay outside with her own child
and those of her Sompanlons while
the latter go in and get their drink
after which she took her turn. The
licenses here are fully aware of the
views OF the licensing committee, and
the steps taken by the police during
the past year to impress those views
upon licensees have, am glad tc
say. produced considerable improve
ment. In many houses notices for
bidding the presence of children In
arms may be seen."-Londan Mail

TEACHING CHILDREN TO Triple

A Home Office return issued yes
lterday will come as a shock to many
social reformers, not excluding the
Iaverage temperance advocate. 1t
gives the result of certain inquiries
lin London and half a dozen principal
provincial towns as to the frequent
ling of public houses by women and
children. They are appalling. AT
the same time the observations of the
police authorities in reference to the
warmth and glitter" and also the
musical attractions which are Of
fered in some places arc not without
pathetic interest.
Sir T.. Henry, the Commissioner
of police for the metropolis, fur
nishes a detailed table, and In his
accompanying letter makes the fol-
lowing interesting statements:
"This practice does undoubtedly
exist in working and poor nelghbor-
hoods, particularly on Saturdays. II
Is evident that the women are at
tracted by the warmth and glitter of
the public houses, which AFFORD n
contrast to the houses in which they
live, and In a number OF cases they
are unable to leav ether young chill
dren at home, as there Is nobody to
take care OF them.
"a practice which has been no.
ticed, and which can only have a
very prejudlcial effect on the after
lives OF the children. Is that OF al
lowing or inducing them to sip the
drink supplied to their parents. AS
regards the bad language which they
may hear. It is generally only the
youngest children who are taken into
the public house-too young to un-
derstand what they hear. When
they are old enough to run about
they are generally left to play In the
streets with other children" He adds
that while It is impossible to give
details as 10 the extent of the habi'
OF taking children TO these houses,
II may be OF interest TO note that
during the year ending April 3Oth
last 1,O5S persons were apprehended
for being drunk while In charge OF
children apparently under Z years OF
age. OF these, 22O were men and
S3S were women.
C. II. Raptor, Chief Constable of
Birmingham, says: From my own
personal observation | can state that
the practice among women OF taking
infants ana young children into pub
lie houses at all hours, from early
morning until late at night. is gem
leral and very extensive. | cannot
state what special evils result there
from, but | have seen women giving
Infants a portion of their beer to
drink. and l am told that they do
this as II makes the children sleepy
and quiet. In the lower quarters
women resort to the public houses
lshortiy after 10 o'clock in the morn
ing In large numbers. when they are
supposed TO be doing their shop
ping, and on these occasions they
take the younger children and in
fants. The same thing occurs late
at night, especially on Saturday
, night"
At Leeds the Chief Constable {
G.. Tarry) states that the practice Of
taking children to the public house
is not so prevalent as might be sup
