Employees Offend for Three Reasons.
Maj. J. T. Crabbs, who Is responsible for
discipline on the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
aiiway says in a paper in Aera:
A 'employe violates regulations
i. Because he is ~ignorant-in which
event he needs instruction, or
q Because he fails to appreciate the
consequences, following violation - In
which event he needs education; or
3. Because he has no intention OF do
Ing other than he pleases-in which evontl
Il trust to your i~magination.)
AS long as we can be sure an employe
ls In one or the other OF the first two
classes. there is hope for results and the
company owes a duty to thai employe
which 1t cannot afford to neglect. = = :
Keep him on the up grade all the time
and keep behind him so he cannot slip
Q BY this process, when he once
gets on his feet, he is liable to stand
erect during the rest OF his service.

Another weapon Of interest is, a
Scotch dirk once the property OF q
member OF the Seventy eighth High
land regiment, evidently captured In
Asia where 1t was picked up by Prince
Paskievich. 1t Is an odd piece of cut
lery, having q straight two-edged
blade, and a short solid grip. The
scabbard is OF black leather and orna-
mented like the pommeli with large
crystal mountings. A case for q knife
and fork Is to be seen on h side,
making the implement available Tor
use both for camp and warlike pur-
poses. ~. ,#@ b

Old Battle Axes.
There are two battle axes in the coll
lection, one with gold inlaid Persian
blade and Caucasus niello-work handle,
and dated 1920; the other a queer com
bination of a flint-lock pistol INK q
AAAGNlICkH NAlS ACNNNA Y VA ~ NAAS -
The stock and handle Of the weapon
is straight and inlaid with ivory. It Is
said to be OF old Saxon workmanship,
Among the guns and pistols is a
hort barreled old Greek arm, the stock
Of which is ornamented with silver
open work, and the butt with several
silver coins Of ancient Greece. An
other interesting weapon Is a rifle with
gold inlaying on the barrel, a padded
stock. and an Inscription which reads
II. p. st. Petersburg" 1t was once
owned by Catherine III. OF Russia, and
probably used in the early part Of the
Eighteenth century.
There are several types Of pistols In
the collection, especially kinds de-
signed for duefing, including models
from France, Germany, and ITALY, all
OF them richly decorated with delicate
work worthy of the jewelers. art and
most Of them with the old style pom
pom handle. or grip.
Two wheel-lock pistols ornamented
with engraved ivory are rare curl
osities. The flint-lock firing appara-
tus is 30 arranged that after winding
1T up with a key. several sparks can
be made In succession, thus enabling
the soldier or marksfnan to fire re-
peatedly without recocking and prim-
ing, In case the gun missed fire the
first time, a great improvement on the
earlier simple flint lock mechanisms.

A MESSAGE
To Feeble Old People.

AS one grows old the waste Of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil, is the ideal
strengthened and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys-
tenn against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice OF Alexander Hamil-
ton, over eighty years of age, once
remarked: "Vinol is a godsend to old
people. Thanks TO Vinol, have a
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and well. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator have ever
used"
If Vinol fails to build up the
feeble old people, and create
strength, We will return your money.
