The canal at Arcola was NapoIeon's
Rubicon. for there it was decided that

alleled power. the phenix bird from the
ashes Of the terrible revolution. But
he would not have won without Andre.
His troops We're ragged, footsore and
half starved. The battle was going
against him. All seemed lost. Sud
denly Andre leaped into the canal and,
holding his drum above his head, swan
across and on the other bank beat an
irresistible charge. The French sol.
diers rallied, and in few moments
Napoleon's great victory was assured.
Thus by this lads heroism were the

It Is most reasonable to assume that
the maritime Importance Of such coun-
tries as Great Britain and the United
States is due in a large measure to the
intense interest eyinced by the people
of those countries in everything relat-
ing to nautical affairs. The sea has a
special attraction For them, and that
attraction manifests itself not only IN
their naval and mercantile fleets. but
also IN the passionate devotion with
which they enter into. all forms OF

Hasheesh. that strange drug which
has given our language, its word "as-

that he accomplishes MURDERS used
by the Persians, Turks and Egyptians
In manner akin TO the Nse Of opium
by the Chinese. 1t is the product Of n
plant grown in large quantities IN the
Peloponnesus southern Greece in the
district about Tripolitza. The plant
grows to a height Of about four feet,
and its branches are thickly covered
with small leaves and studded with
tiny seeds.
The entire plant stalk and branches,
is cut within a few inches OF the root
and laid out IN the sun 10 dry. The
branches are then rubbed to separate
the seeds, and these in turn are ground
into a fine powder, which constitutes
the drug The drug has the power OF
inducing sleep and producing pleasant
and fantastic dreams. Continued use Of
hasheesh renders its devotees wild and
reckless aud results In a complete
wreck OF their mental and physical
constitution.
For this reason the Egyptian govern
ment prohibited the importation of the
drug and entered into a convention
with Greece to prevent its expectation
from there TO Egypt where the con-
sumers Of hasheesh are very numerous.
The drug is practically never used in
Greece. but is now exported to the va

In our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children well dressed

weakness or displacement is often
brought on and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the pains and
aches which daily make lie a burden.
