Russian Butchery in Tabriz

Amere and again began a lombard
ment Of the unhappy city, which in the
last few years had already seen SO
many indescribable horrors. In this
struggle there were about 100 Russian
soldiers killed and about al many
Persian nstionalists, but above that
there were more than 800 victims, in
GLIDING defenseless women and chill
dren, massacred by the Cossacks. The
latter also hanged several members
OF the municipal council Of Tabriz.
Chief among these may be mentioned
Schaikh Salim, -ul-Ulama, and his
uncle, but what caused the greatest
excitement, even among the foreign
ers, was the hanging Of Sikat-ul-Islam.
a religious man universally respected,
according to the consuls Of all the
European countries, on account Of his
influence, his good sense and bis lib
eral mind.
ION the 26th the Russians, after
having taken possession OF the gov
eminent buildings, custom houses and
the postofices. set ire to them. In
the face Of all these atrocities and the
great misery Of the population OF Ia

ordered to be shot two Of the Russian
soldiers guilty Of excessive atrocities.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago ! had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells. and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. / would scratch those places
until they would bleed before / could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over. and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes 1t would begin to itch until
It would waken me from my sleep,
and l would have to 60 through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced It dry
eczema" / used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but 1t did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. As this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, felt anxious
to try to head It of. got the Cuti-
cura Soap. Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be Just what l needed.
THE disease was making great
Roadway on my system until ! got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin Of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now. have never felt
any of its pest, and am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet. and hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment"

REAL MISTAKES OF HOUSE
In olden Days, Among Other Accom-
pIlshments, Woman Was Required
TO BE Expert Carver.

In the matter OF old time etiquette
at the table one recalls the part
played by the lady OF the household.
In the eighteenth century she was mis-
tress OF the ceremonies-she carved
and she dealt the while her lord mere
ly pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu, for II she
gave a dinner OF several courses It
was her duty to announce to the
guests, seated expectantly, what was
due to appear at table. A dinner OF
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers OF gentle persua'
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight OF knife In posi-
ton was the signal for the hostess to
inquire IF he would please to have
something more"
In the art OF carving, OF course.
the mistress OF any country house
was a past mistress. One recalls Lady
Mary Montagu's fight after perfec-
ton under the wing of a professional
carving master: "She took three les
sons week, that she might be perfect
on her fathers public days; when, in
order to perform her functions with
out Interruptions, she was forced to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or
so beforehand"

USE GAS in SPORTS

ideas swarm, but it is hard to seize
them"
Sir Edwin's proposal Is amazingly I'M
scientific in a scientist Of so great rep
utation and 1t is most unsportsman-
like. especially in an Englishman. the
Britisher being nothing II not lover
Of fair play in sport. What folly to
declare nascent oxygen as natural an
article OF consumption as water! Pure
oxygen is far from being such thing;
1t is natural only to be breathed when
It is diluted with several times It's
volume Of nitrogen.
Pure oxygen has before been used
in athletics. but all that kind OF thing
is altogether cheap and Improbable
and It has a yellow streak. Yes. rec
ords have been broken by this means.
They should not stand; they do not In
the minds Of the sporting aristocracy.
And the reason why Is that they are
not tests OF Drawn and endurance un-
der the inexorable conditions in which
human life must ordinarily be lived.
An oxygen drunk might make an un'
trained, undeveloped, soft muscled, or
dinarily short winded specimen sue
cessful for the brief span OF a given
contest; but for all that he would be
poorer, and not the really triumphant
man. All competitions should be held
under natural conditions. such as must
be CHANGED and COPIED with In nature
The only safe and sane way to
breathe oxygen is in combination with
nitrogen as It exists in the circumam'
bient air, In the form to which, dur
ing the ages, human and all other life
has become adapted. Normal living is
ever the right adjustment Of internal
relations to external relations"
After all. why should marathons be
run, anyway. except for the glorious
and sufficient purpose Of announcing
In the Athenian market place the vic
tory at Marathon over the Persians!
How utterly purposeless is today this
terribly taxing race. which must fol
many a participant result In disease
and in shortened existence.
