that each drug which en-

The compounding must

Peter the Great is said to have made a will in which he exhorted his heirs to approach as nearly as possible to Con- StantinUpic aEI toward India. but the authenticity of this document has been disputed, and it is sbrewdly suspected to have been forged late in the eight eenth century by August Kotzebue.
 Of the genuineness, however. of the Inst will and testament of Napoleon l. there can be no manner of doubt.

GERMANS DEPORTING SERBS;
 PUT THEM IN THE TRENCHES

PARIS, Feb. 7.-The following statement from the Serbian Press Blu reau is forwarded from Corfu by the Havas correspondent:
 "Todor Javanovitch, escaped from Bulgarian slavery, has reached our lines. He recounts that he with other peasants, was deported by force be-
 fore the Bulgarian retreat, and con- pelled to labor in the trenches under
 the artillery fire of the Serbians and
 their allies. Every male above boy
 hood was taken from all the villages
 into slavery. Fifteen hundred were so taken from Souhodol, under contro!
 of German officers.'
 Javanovitch complained of po"l
 food and hard labor, and said num-
 erous deaths resulted.

INDExING BOOKS.
Tho Custom Is an old One That Dc.
 veloped Rather Slowly.


 vslopsd Rather Slowly. ' The custom of indexing books devel- oped gradually. Cicer6 used the word index" but in the sense of a table of contents. Seneca provided some works which he sent to friend with notes of particular passages. ''so that he who only aimed at the useful might be spared the trouble of examining them entire.' This was at least a partial index" in the modern sense. Anno. tated. or at least explanatory. tables of contents seem to have preceded the in- dex proper.
 Such tables followed the order of ap. pearance of the subjects in the book it. self. Alphabetical arrangement. which was the beginning of the real index. appears not to have been thought of until the invention of printing, and even then 1t spread but slowly. Bras mus was one of the first to provide bis works with alphabetical indexes. The custom did not become universal until well.into the sixteenth century.
 The first index to an English book is said to be that printed in Polydore vergil's "Angliae Historiae" in 154G. An edition of this work published ten years later has an index of thirty-scven pages

Hs explained that he was not attack ing them but the system" They asked him to attack the men who were responsible for the system and for their being in their position. But he said, eff I have done you any harm I am willing to, make it good. My heart goes out to you" And the meeting ended. But tn. next day tte clergymen withdrew from his call paisn and suggested that it was q matter for the police to attend to-, as it is-for Gods police; not the civic grafters who live off the earn ings of these women by collecting . systematic rake-off from their earE' ings.
 Rev. Smith is like thousands of oth CT well-meaning and worthy men who waste their lives trying to abolish evil by proclamation; fighting the poor el- fleets instead of the rich causes; the orizing in their comfortable and we'll fed lives, instead of going down into his pocket and helping them out Of their slough of despond. Christ not only faced tfie causes and reached a helping hand to the unfortunate, but He had something to say to the hypo crites-to the snug, complacent phar- isees who advised morality and prac- t;ced sin.
 Vice campaigns should not begin with the poor victims, but deep dowr in the human heart,-with the pred atory male of the human species, who is responsible for these unfortunates in the first place.
 The women, whom these misdirect- ed moralists would drive from one city to another, had mothers-most of them probably as good mothers ds you and land the rest of humanity They were reared in innocence, and at some time in their immature years they fell to the strategems of the hu' man spider; or tQ bleak want.
 There are tears and broken hearts and blasted ideals in the lives of these lost children of humanity, the victims of human hypocrisy-nott themselves criminals that you who have never been tempted wot not of. And the only remedy the reformer can sug- oest is to kick them farther down the social scale. "Go anywhere, but do not stay here." Is this Christlike? Is it humane? Is it even decent? It is

MISGUIDED PERFORMERS.

Rev. Paul Smith, of San Francisco like many other earnest clergymeE has spent some years in trying to abol. ish human frailty and weaknesses by verbal assault, and with the usual re suits. Recently he opened cam- .,a.gn against the fallen women O. the city. San Francisco was to be purified" and relieved of their "con- dominating presence" and the city up lifted to where it would need a halo and a quart of Dutch Cleanser.
 There was no suggestion on the part of MT. Smith to drive out the men of the city who were responsible for the fallen women, or who made 1t possible for them to live there. There were no steps taken to give these fall en women chance to live clean lives and earn a respectable living. Mir. Smiths theory, which is also he popular theory, was to destroy the ef- feet of human weakness and allow the cause to thrive and produce more un fortunates.
 Instead of church full of amiable and mortified hypocrites called togeth CT to listen and be thrilled by his re cital of horrors, MT. Smith was faced ty five hundred of the women of the restricted district whom he was try. ing to drive out without thought o; what was to become of them or of re moving the cause of their unhappy condition.
 What are you going to do abou' it?" they asked the leader of this Ire fOrm' movement. we are against the lives we lead; we want to get away from it. You would cast us out; where to? There is not one oi us who would not quit this life if you will show us where we c. make a living by work. How man. of tae women in your church would give Il. a job in your homes? You say I dc not want these women in my church What would you do in our position"

HOW A SQUAD TAKES INTERVAL
AND DISTANCE.

While for marching and the pur-
poses of drill in the manual of arms
a squad is kept in "close Order"-that
is, the distance Of the crook Of the ell
bow between man and man in each
rank, and 40 inches between the front
and rear ranks-certain kinds of In
struction could not be given in that
formation. The setting-up exercises
(calisthenics) or the bayonet drill
could not be executed at close order.
1t is essential, therefore, to distribute
the men so that, while they still re-
main in a precise and military forma-
ton, they may be sufficiently separated
for each man to have room for the
swing of his arms and legs or the
charge of his bayonet. In order to
effect this, the squad will execute the
commands, stake interval" or stake
distance"
When the squad is at halt, the
command is given, '"Take interval-to
the right Qeft) MARCH" At
ito the right Qeft)," the four rear
rank men march backward four steps
and halt. At the command of execu-
ton, ''march," all men in both ranks
face to the right. The leading man in
each rank then steps off. When he has
advanced four PAGES, the second man
in each rank steps off, keeping four
PAGES behind his leader. Then follow
the third men in each rank, at an in
terval of four PAGES from the two men
ahead, each rear-rank man abreast of
