W0MAN'S mo" ALL POWERFUL
Rothsehild Group Of Bankers Listened
TO Advice Of Mother, and There
Was No War.

A manuscript dealing with Gudula
Rothschnd. the mother Of the great
banking family. and wife Of Maier
Amschel Rothschild. the founder O..
the financial dynasty, has just been
unearthed in a family that at her time
lived in the Ghetto. al Frankfort, Ger
many.
One of the most interesting entries
is this:
Learning that another war was In
the air l went to Mother Gudula, say
ing that I didn't have the money to
buy on my son; that he would prob
ably be taken for the military ana
might be killed Mother Gudula said
she would see about that and told me
to come back the next day, for in the
evening her sons would arrive from
London, Naples. Paris and Vienna to
talk business with her. for all these
great bankers went to seek the ad.
vice Of Mother Gudula in business
matters of international magnitude.
When I went TO see Mother Gu
dula again. she was all smiles.
"'Be Of good cheer. she said there
will be no war / advised my sons
against it. The boys won't give the
kings any money

PURE FOOD LAW IN THE PAST
ExpIorations in Palestine Show That
the Anelents Attached Much I'M
portanee to Records.

Prof George A. Reisner of Harvard
university discovered among some
specimens of earliest Hebrew writings
in the excavations Of the city OF Sa-
maria. in Palestine. a most interesting
record Of toa first pure food laws in
history He also found ancient writ
ings dealing with the first instance on
record OF the keeping Of wines in
government warehouse under bond.
Dating back to the period of King
Ahab $50 B. c., these inscriptions are
considered to be one Of the greatest
finds Of the Harvard Palestine expe-
dition which delved into the city Of
Ahab and Amri for three years
They found labels on wine and oil
Jars. These mentioned the year in
which the wine was laid down in the
cellars of the palace storehOuse. and
they state the vineyard from which
the wine came. important facts that
are recognized equally well by yint-
ners today.
On the oil jars the labels read: a
jar OF pure oil. with the mention OF
the district from which the oil came.
The bits Of pottery on which the de-
scriptions were written were not parts
of the Jars. but were evidently in
tended to be attached to the necks OF
the receptacles. just as are labels or
seals at the present time.-Health Cul

Use Of the reathbrush.

On the subject OF the toothbrush a
great deal has been written OF late.
Some condemn It as a septic and use
less instrument, and demand that il
shall be either boiled or soaked in
very strong antiseptics every time
after usage. Others still hold that
regularity in the use Of the toothbrush
is one Of the cardinal virtues, and viii
be rewarded by an undecayed set OF
teeth. Probably the truth lies some
where between the two extremes: the
toothbrush regularly used is valuable
but not so essential as a correct d.
etary. Plain precipitated chalk is use
ful for keeping the teeth Of smokers
white. and others may use il at dis
The main lesson is to have
only soft brushes and to use them
gently.-Ths Hospital (Londonl.

INSTINCT SERVED DOG WELL
study and Research Evidently Are
Not Necessary Among the Lower
Animals.

"Shep," a dog belonging to a board
ing house In Tacoma, Wash, was
awakened by the explosion of a lamp.
and. although he should have run
away with his tail between his legs,
he went upstairs, barked from one
door to another, aroused the sleep
ing inmates, who succeeded in saving
themselves. and then himself perish
ed miserably and incontinently in the
flames
What a singular way for a dog to
act. says Life especially as he ap-
parently. so far as we can learn from
his past, had no actual knowledge of
the real value of human life. He
conducted no laboratory experiments
upon human beings. nor upon any OF
his own species, in order to perpetu-
ate the race Of dogs or men. He
had given no lectures nor had taken
fees for work done in connection
with the saving of human life. He
occupied no important scientific post
Of honor He had engaged in no re-
search labor. and. in fact, he had no
knowledge Whatever OF the sclentlnc
necessity OF sacrificing some lives to
save others.
And yet, in spite Of this. he seem
ed to have the true scientific spirit,
and although but a dog. he was
willing to sacrifice himself for 9TH
ers. This shows the great power Of
instinct

Illinois Cold Snap.

One Of the most remarkable stories
OF sudden cold weather is to be found
in a famous biography OF Abraham
Lincoln. The year 1896 was long
known as the year Of the sudden

SAVED EMPIRE BY STRATEGY
Military Leaders of Byzantlum Made
Up by.Finesse What They Lacked
In Numbers.

After the decline Of Rome the cen
ter of the worlds military progress
was, for seven or eight centuries,
transferred to the Greek empire. Con-
stantinople ruled elements Of much
less homogeneous nature than Rome'
in her prime. had depended upon.
There was less loyalty to the central
rule there, and far less liberty un'
der it,
The decisive military fact Of the
east was. however. that Byzantium
had to contend against overwhelming
numerical superiority in its enemies.
South Of it. from the Indies to the
Atlantic. was the Saracen empire
burning with the zeal of new re-
ligion. To the east were the Seljuk
Turks. while to the north were the
Bulgarians, and the Slayonian and
Hunic tribes
Against such odds it was useless
simply to match man for man. The
military leaders of the empire were
full of military spirit and took keen
delight in war as a game; but they
we're the descendants Of Ulysses. and
they made of war a game Of nnesse'
of cleverness-in short, war Of wits.
BY their spying and bribes, by stir

EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one 10 most women and marks DIS
tinctly am epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard TO recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child. d.land distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother Of children.
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that. with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
