BOILING WATER AS WEAPON
Parallel for Act Of Heroic Women
Found in Siege Of Naaur by
the Tartars.

The heroic acts Of the Belgian wom-
en- who defended their homes against
the German invaders, resorting to boil
ing water when their ammunition gave
out, has a historical parallel which
will no doubt be of interest at the
present time, says the Outlook
In this case the defenders were Cos
sack women and the scene of the en-
counter small town not far from the
Sea of Azov
In 1774, during the first Turkish
war, the town of Naaur was being be-
sieged by 5000 Tartars-a large army
in those days. All the men Of the
town had left for the war, which was
proceeding at some distance, and the
town remained undefended save for a
handful of soldiers. 1t had, however,
the advantage of being surrounded by
a wall, and was we'll supplied with am
munition. The enemy imagined that
they would only have to overcome a
very few soldiers and the town would
be theirs. Instead, to their amaze
ment, they had to face an army of
women, young and old, arrayed in
their best red sarafans, fully armed
and eager to fight. And these wom-
en- not only defended the walls Of
their town, but they sailed out and
fought vaiiantly in hand-to-hand Skin
mishes. They also tended enormous
fires and heated pitch and boiling wa
ter to pour on the heads of the enc
mics when they approached the walls
of the town. The story goes that not
only did they pour water and pitch on
the foe, but the broth that was cooking
for dinner went the same way.
That was the first experience the
Cossack women had of active serv-
ice." Later it became a tradition and
a custom that in battles the women
should take their share of actual fight
ing. And during the continual raids
and battles which occurred they be-
came expert soldiers, standing side by
side with old warriors and often help
ing with less usual weapons, such as
scythes and pitchforks.
The Cossack woman of today has
retained her traditions, and she is not
only independent and generally eff
cient, but she is also often an excel
lent shot, and is quite capable of de-
Tending her village if necessary as
fercely as her ancestress.

DoubIY Rewarded.

During a performance in which l
appeared some years ago a very ia
nous actress who was starring in the
play lost a diamond necklace, relates
a veteran actor. She searched care
fully for it everywhere, but with no
success, and was on the verge of col
lapse when another actor in the COM
pany found the necklace and took it
to her. She received it with great
joy and instantly offered him re-
ward of $50, which he politely de-
clined. The actress insisted, however,
that he accept some sort of reward
Well" he answered very modestly,
"since you press me, l should consider
a kiss an ample reward"
Needless to say he was paid in full.
AS soon as l could get him alone l
said:
Why were you so foolish? You're
only getting a small salary. Why
didn't you take the fifty dollars ?"
why should l." was his cool re-
Spouse, when I bet hundred that
I'd kiss her before the week was up?"

War and Woman.

"There is, perhaps, no woman who
could look down upon a battlefield
covered with slain, but the thought
would rise in her, SO many mothers
sons! So many young bodies brought
into the world to lie there. So many
months of WEAKNESS and pain while
bones and muscles were shaped with
in! So many hours of anguish and
struggle that breath might be! So
many baby mouths drawing life at
women's breasts-all this, that men
might lie with glazed eyeballs, and
swollen faces, and fixed, blue, Enclosed
mouths, and great limbs tossed And
we cry, Without an memorable cause,
this must not be- No woman who is a
woman says of human body, Tt is
nothing!'
women will erd war when her
voice is fully and clearly heard in the
governance of states-because, on this
one point, and on this point almost
alone, the knowledge of woman, sim
ply as woman, is superior to that of
man. She knows the history of hui
man flesh; she knows it's cost; he
does not."-Olive Schreiner.

For Drying Ball Grounds.

A machine fitted with gasoline blow
torches was put in use last summer at
a Tacoma (Wash) baseball park for
the purpose of artifcially drying the
grounds following transforms. The ap-
paratus is similar in principle to de-
vices used in asphalt pavement re-
pairs 1t is built with an iron frame

mounted horizontally on swivel wheels,
carrying five coil burners with down
ward projecting jets. Over these
burners is a deflector hood with adj
Unstable wings made of galvanized iron
and asbestos. At the front of the car
rage are a gasoline tank and pressure
pump, which supply the fuel. When
the machine is drawn slowly over a
moderately wet field. it is asserted,
the ground is within a short time dried
sufficiently for use.-Popular Mechan-

SICK HEADACHE

Sick headache is nearly always
caused by disorders of the stomach
Correct them and the periodic attacks
of sick headache will disappear. Mrs
John Bishop Roseville, Ohio, writes:
about a year ago / was troubled
with indigestion and had sick head
ache that lasted for two or three
days at time. | doctored and tried
a number of remedies but nothing
helped me until during one of those
sick spells a friend advised me to
take Chamnerlain's Tablets. This
medicine relieved me in a short time"
