Rueoia's Great Library.

One of the proudest monuments to the memory of that benevolent despot. Peter the Great, is the imperial li- brary of Russia, established by him in 1114. Present ranking places it third among the world great libraries pre- cedel only by the National library at Paris and that of the British museum at LonlGn. Ii contains a million and q half volumes and 26.O00 manuscripts. The most important accession it ever received was probably at the time of the suppression of the Society of Jesus in Rus ;ia, whe.1 most of the Jesuit collections were transferred to the i'm peiial library. Among them was the famous collection of Count Zaluski, consisting of 2G0,O00 volumes and 1O,- GOO manuscripts, which had been in stalled at the Jesuit college in Warsaw The most important manuscript in the library is the "CedeX Sinaiticus' of the Greek Bible. brought to Russia by Pro- lessor Tischeadorf in 1859 from the Convent of St. Catharine on Mount Sinai.-New York Tribune.

There are vel educated Americans
who believe that toad hops out alive

Bucklands experiments with toads In
1926. He took twelve toads and had
the toads put II twelve cells cut In

The conclusion Is that, deprived Of at

For Using Mails Illegally.

Charles l.. Wakefield of Augusta was
fined $50 and costs by Judge dale in the
United States district court In Portland,
Monday morning on the charge of frad-
ulently using the mails. he paid the
fine and was discharged.
The particular crime with which
Wakefield was charged was the shipping
of guinea hens to customers who had
sent him money through the mails in
answer to advertisements which Wake
field had inserted in the Boston and
Philadelphia papers that he had pea
fowl to sell at s5 a pair. He was arrest.
ed by Postoffice Inspector Robinson who
did a very neat trick in running down
the case with practically nothing to
work on,
The case began to develop when Post
master George w. Goulding at Oakland
notified the inspector that he had a mum.
Der of letters at his office addressed to
Joseph Kingsbury and informed him
from advices which he had on hand that
he thought they contained money orders
John Kingsbury was the name signed to
the dvertisDents in the papers which
stated that the pea fowl were for sale
and adding that no letters would be
answered; that if the fowl were wanted
the money must be sent.
While Inspector Robinson was at worh
on the case the man who said his name
was Kingsbury called for the mail anc
while in the post Office opened two of the
letters and casbed the money orders
The name of c. Y rk of Auburn
was on one of the orders and the ipspec
tor upon investigation found that Mr.
York had received two guinea hens il
answer to his sending S. for the pei
fowl 1t was found that the hens wer,
shipped from Gardiner and from Their
were traced back to Wakefield a
| Augusta
Mr. Wakefield said that he had pur
chased the hens az pea fowl but was un
able to explain why he was doing bust
ness under an assumed name or why b.
did it through foreign postoff1ce.

Andrew Jackson's Education.

During each winter for two or three
years after he had reached the age OF
seven Andrew Jackson was sent to the
old field school of Mr. Branch. After
this he attended the select school which
a Presbyterian preacher, the Rev. DR..
David Humphreys, taught in the Wax.
haw settlement. He appears to have
been going to this higher school in the
spring of 1850, when the inroad of Tar
Teton created panic in that portion Of
the Carolinas At some later period of
his youth he is said to have attended
the old Queen college or seminary at
Charlotte a couple of terms, but the
time Is not definitely known.
As to education, therefore, it may be
safely stated that Andrew Jackson en-
joyed much more than the ordinary ad-
vantage of a back woods boys of his
time. At the age of ten he had become
SO good a reader that he was often
chosen to read the newspaper to the
assembled neighbors, and he remem-
bered with pride in after years that he
had thus had the honor of reading out
loud" the Declaration of independence
upon its arrival In the Waxhaws. For
n lad of ten this was, indeed, some
thing to remember with honest pride

The Service Pensions.

The present congress has added to Its
record of important legislation by pass
ing an act to pension any soldier over 81
years of age who served 30 days In the
civil war. OF 90 days in the Mexican war,
IN the United States army. This law
will apply at once to all Mexican soldiers
and nearly all the surviving Union sol
diers, for a man of 20 when the civil war
closed Ia now 81. Age alone in these
cases gives claim to pension of $12 a
month at 81 years of age, s15 a month at
10 years, and 500 month at rs and over.
Pensioners now receiving less than this
allowance can get 1t Increased on appli-
cation. Those who are receiving more
are not affected by the new law. Claims
for special disabilities may be prosecuted
as before.
This act sweeps away an immense
amocnt of red tape and delay, often run
ming into years, to which applicants fol
pensions have been subjected. 1t can be
taken for granted that veteran past the
age of 81 is unfit for manual labor, and
many of the medical examinations car.
ried on have long been supertiuous
Pensionerslare dying at the rate Of more
than 40 600 a year, and the mortality In
their ranks is increasing. Only a few
thousand survivors remain OF the Mex
lean war, which closed 80 years ago. Il
is doubtful If the pension payments mex
year will materially exceed those OF 1905
Service pensions for the soldiers nance
have not come day too soon. May i
be long before the last of the brave mel
to whom this justice is awarded sr'

oflntereat to Women .

Every woman naturally should be healthy
and strong, but great many women, unfor-
tunately, arc not, owing 10 the unnatural con-
dition of the lives we lead. Headache, back
ache and general tired eonditi are preva-
lent amongst the women Of to-day, and to re-
lieye these conditions women rush to the
druggists for bottle Of some preparation
supposed to be particularly for them, and
ontaining-nobody knows what. If they
would Just get box Of Brandeth's Pills, and
take them regularly every night for a time,
all their trouble would disappear as these
pills regulate the organs of the feminine
system The same dose always has the
same effect, ne matter how long they are
used.
Brandeth's Pills have been in use for over
a century and are sold in every drug and
medicine store. either plain or sugar coated.
