Will you please give me a sketch Of
tho Roumanian army, its strength In
mon, artillery, etc.?
The Roumanian army may be said
to date from 1882, in which year four
army corps we're created and gradual
ly supplied with all their troops and
services. In 1891 a fusion was effect
ed between this new army and force
Of some $4,000 territorials. The whole
Roumanian army then amounted to
thirty-four infantry regiments, with
one battalion active and two territorial.
Behind these troops there stood the
unframed militia and the levy In
mass. At this time the nominal train
ing Of the territorials amounted to six
ty days In the spring and thirty days
in the autumn of their first year and
thirty days each year thereafter. In
1902 the numbers had risen to 60,700
in the active army and 1900 territori-
ais. Various reforms were introduced
In the years 1908-11 and more liberal
grants of money for military purposes
made, SO that at the beginning Of this
war the strength of the Roumanian
army was $4,000 Of all ranks on
peace footing, with $4,000 horses and
600 guns. This army In 1914 was able
to mobilize 200. battalions, 83 squad
rons, 1874 field and howitzer batteries,
10 fortress artillery companies and 10
technical companies. These troops rep
resent a fighting strength of 100000
rifles, $4,000 sabers, 600 modern and
200 older field guns and howitzers and
300 machine guns. Behind this army
Of operations was second line army
Of trained men amounting to about
10000 rifles. Behind these again were
about 100000 very effectively trained
or unframed men. 1t therefore seems
from the above figures that at the max
imum the trained Roumanian army, In
Guiding reserves. will not run much
above 100000.
Please tell about the extent of the
bee industry In this country.
In 1910 the department of agricul-
ture estimated that there were 3,445,-
O4O colonies of bees In this country,
valued at $1O373,614. 1t was also es-
timated that the annual value OF hon
ey and wax produced was in the neigh
borhood Of 35,000,000.
How many national holidays are
there in the United StatesY 10 Fourth
of July national holiday
There is no national holiday, not even
the Fourth Of July. Congress has at
various times appointed special holi-
days. In the second session OF the
Fifty-third congress 1t passed an act
making Labor day a public holiday In
the District of Columbia, and 1t has
recognized the existence Of certain
days as holidays for commercial pur-
poses, but with the exception named
there Is no general statute on the sub
J, ject. The proclamation Of the presi-
dent designating day of thanksgiving
only makes 1t a legal holiday In the
District Of Columbia and the terrific
ries. There are over fifty legal holi-
days observed In the various states and
territories.

Who first called England "a nation
Of shopksepers7"
The expression has often been at
tributed to Napoleon, as used in con-
temptuous sense, but It has not been
cited or found In any writing or speech
by him. It has also been attributed
to Samuel Adams, a fiery orator Of
the Revolutionary period. In speech
purporting to have been delivered In
Philadelphia Aug. l, 1778, he is said
to have stigmatized the English as "a
nation Of shoppers" but the anthem
ITCHY Of the speech has been disputed.
Adam Smith, Scotch political econo-
mist, used the exact phrase without
distinctly applying it to the English.
In his Inquiry Into the Nature and
Causes Of the Wealth of Nations"
published In ITS, he said, ITO found
a great empire for the sole purpose Of
raising up people of customers may,
at first sight, appear project f1t only
for a nation Of shopkeepers." This
appears to be the earliest known use
Of the expression nation of shopkeep-
ers," and, although Adam Smith did
not apply 1t to England, whoever did
so later may have borrowed the ex-
preston from him.
Have any women taken part In the
actual hostllities In this war?
The Russians reported that several
women have fought in the ranks of
their army.
Was General Grant In the regular
army at the time of our war with Mex
Ioof II so, what rank did he have? Did
he personally approve Of that WARP
At the beginning of the war he was
second lieutenant in the Fourth infan-
try and later was promoted to first
lieutenant. There was a good deal of
opposition to the war at the time Of a
semipolitical character, and young
Grant seems to have shared in 1t. In
his autobiography, written long after
the civil war, he says, referring to the
annexation of Texas: For myself
was bitterly opposed to the measure
and to this day regard the war which
resulted as one of the most unjust ever
waged by stronger against weaker
nation. 1t was an instance of repub
lie following the bad example Of Euro
pean monarchies in not considering
justice In their desire to acquire add
tional territory"

THE USE OF CALADIUMS
By yLIMA R. ROSE.

If you have an unsightly spot in the rear of the house, which, by the way, should never exist, you may hide 1t from the casual visitor by border of the beautiful broad-leaved caladium.
 Against a background of sweet peas or salvia 1t produces beautiful ef- feet.
 The best way to cultivate caladium Is to plant the tubers as early in the spring as the ground will permit. The soil should be very rich with leaf mold and well-rotted manure and should be worked up with little sand Into loose loam. The addition of bone meal. well worked into the soil. will help the growth of the plants and add to their beauty.
 Of the fancy-leaved caladiums, those best suited to outdoor planting are those having predominance of green in the foliage. as the highly-eolored kind do not do quite as well.

LOOKED LIKE INVERTED RAIN
Bullets From Machine Guns Gave Odd Impression to Aviator at Whom
 They Were Aimed.

Ii will be easily understood. writes Mr C. C. Grey in Tales of the Fly ing Service that before n bullet that has been shot straight upward begins to fall there must be point where it stands dead still, and that for the last part of its upward path it travels very slowly. One officer of my aequaint- anee told me, after some months of war, that his most curious experience WIS when once. and once only. he dis covered the exact extreme range point.
 He was flying along quite peacefully on q bright sunny morning at an alti- tude of little over 5000 feet, without worrying about anything. when sudden ly he saw something bright dart past the side of the machine. He began to look about him and saw. shade be- low him and trife te one side, whole stream of little bright things gilt tering in the sun.
 Then he realized that he had just struck level that happened to be the extreme vertical range of a machine gun that was making uncommonly good shooting. Other bullets from rifles and other machine guns also flashed into view as he flew along. and when his eyes caught the right focus he could follow the slow. topmost part of their movement for Il considerable distance. Tt looked he said. just as If 1t were raining upward" and the phenomenon was so novel that he quite forgot for time that the "raindrops" indicated that he was unpopular with someone below.-Youth's Companion.

DESTROYING MORNING
 GGORIES
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

The field morning glory resembles the cultivated kind and unlike the bind weed. grows only from seed We find four varieties of morning -glorfes on our l0wland farms. so the only remedy Is to prevent the seeding.
 The field bindweed is morning glory with small flowers and vinelike stems that entwine closely about any thing they reach.
 The numerous roots send out plants from every eye. These roots being spread by the blow or cultivator form new plants, until in a short time the cornfield is completely covered.
 They start so early in the spring that before the corn Is large enough to cultivate, the rows are so hidden that they must be cleaned out with hoe be- fore cultivation Is begun Another variety called hedge bind weed, pea-vine. morning glory has large funnel-shaped flowers and more slender vine than the other varieties
 In the central states We find still an other of the prolific pests. This is the wild sweet potato or man-of-the-earth vine. Its roots resemble In shape the cultivated sweet potato, but are much larger and penetrate far below the blowing depths.
 Cutting the tops does little good and cutting the roots only mutiples the number of vines as all pieces of roots grow the same as the edible sweet po- tato.
 The blow only serves as means of spreading and transplanting the pieces of roots, which grow new plants. Gov ering with salt or injecting sulphuric acid into the roots are as effective as any remedy for the weed. which for tunately Is not so common as the other varieties of morning glory. Hogs are very fond of the roots and are great help in cleaning up badly infested ground. Flowing during July and August prevents the plants from growing again in the same season and will make them much less plentiful the next year.
 Lambs also like the vines wonder fully well and few will be left in the fall if they are turned on before the bndweeds go to seed
 Our experience with bindweeds is that spring blowing and persistent use of the cultivator only serve to spread the roots over greater areas. The lowlands where the bindweed fhourishes are also suitable for alfalfa. We find that between the cuttings of alfalfa the bindweed has no oppor- tunity to seed and in d few years a

PERGOLAS PRETTY AND CHEAP

It doesn't take much time or need not cost any money to have a pretty pergola in your garden. Of course if one has the time and the money the scheme may be widened to any desired extent and the structure may be as costly and as elaborate as the heart wishes. But q simple bit of work, planned with the eye of an artist. is often more fetching than a studied and costly creation.
 Rustic pergoIas may be made of peeled oak or pine, or any other dura- ble branches that are at hand, except ing birch. Birch will not last beyond one season. There is no better or prettier way of training vines than by making the pergola the base and there will be many hours of real pleas ure In the creation once it is done.

HER HEALTH RESTORED
"Even My Own Folks Are Astonished That Am Able to Do My Housework," Says Mrs.
 Blaiock

One of the most sensational state ments yet published in connection with Tanlac. was made by Mrs. V. Blalock, residing at 1o4 Crawford street, Houston, Texas, a few days ago. who said:
 Il suffered so much from rheuma- tism and stomach trouble for the past three years that I became despondent and sometimes felt that life was hard ly worth living. I had Il distressed feeling in my stomach no matter what or how little I ate. My chest was full of pain. my heart acted peculiar and I could hardly get my breath at times I was tired all the time and felt so weak and miserable that could hard ly stand on my feet.
 Do you know I spent something like four thousand dollars during those three years for treatments and medicines of various kinds but found no relief. I started taking TanIac and began to improve with the first few doses and even my own folks are now astoniShed that I am able in SD short a time to do my own housework. Somehow it just seemed to suit my case exactly and it makes me happy to think how perfectly my health is being restored. I can eat anything want now and am not troubled any more with shortness of breath or other signs of Indigestion. I have already gained five pounds in weight and am iniFoving every day"

SUCCESSFUL TRANSPLANTlNG

To successfully transplant, great deal of care is necessary. Observe these few important simple rules:
 If possible. choose cloudy day for this work, or do it in the evening. Wa ter the plants so that the soil Is thor oughly saturated; then lift the seed lings carefully with plenty of soil and gently separate the plants.
 With a sharp knife remove about two-thirds of the leaves and stems and then puddle the roots. On no account should the sun reach the roots, even for moment
 The holes should be ready to receive the plants. Fill them with water and set the plants firmly into the soil. pressing the soil carefully about the plants-drawing dry soil on top of the wet soil.
 If the sun shines shade the plants for a few days.

 When blowing or cultivating through small spots of morning-glory, 1t pays to clean the blow or cultivator of all roots to prevent the spreading of the growth of new plants.
 The use of the disk harrow and disk cultivators will help to prevent the spread of this pest.
