New Medical Marvel.

OF all the remarkable medical IN.

Gus is a new antiseptic solution per-
fected after ten years work by DR..
Wilfred Fralick of New York DIR. Os-
car Eckstein of the University of Ber-
lin, and DIR. A. G. Allen OF the Univer-
sity of Chicago.
1t Is superior to the famous Carrel-
Dukin solution because, in addition to
everything that preparation can do. 1t
can be used on the brain aud In the
abdominal cavity and can be injected
directly into the blood without dan
ger.
The last named quality makes 1t of
startling significance in the treatment
Of blood poisoning.
While to put the Carrel-Dakin solu-
ton into the veins Of u patient would
mean certain death, the new prepare.
ton, a chlorinated solutionT of per-
manganate of potash, can be run di.
rectly into the blood stream without

LONG WEDDINGS IN PERSIA
Ceremonies, Continuing Several Days
Among Most Curious and EIabo-
rate In the World.

The marriage ceremonies which sol
emnize a wedding among the Moham.
medans of Persia are among the most
curious and elaborate In the world
Any American bridegroom who dis.
likes what men nre wont to describe
as the fuss and bother" of n formal
wedding should regard the case of his
Persian brother and take heart.
The Persian ceremony may take
from one to two weeks for its compile
ton. Often the betrothal is n matter
of many years standing, having been
arranged by the parents when the prin-
cipals were still young children. When
the time for the marriage arrives. the
guests are summoned by heralds, who
go about the n%eighboring villages,
bearing gifts of apples, cloves and
roses to accompany the invitations.
When some powerful parsonage is to
be invited, the father of the BRIDE
groom does % send n herald, but goes
himself, bearing as rich Il present rs
he can afford to give.
Before the wedding there is also a
curious little business arrangement en-
tered into. This is the matter of
"kaben," or the price of divorce. A
sum Is agreed upon in advance by the
payment of which the future husband
can put aside his wife at any time.
When II is desired TO make the divorce
difficult, the kaben Is set at some i'm
possible sum or commodity. The hus-
band may be required to give the
bride "a hundredweIght OF mosquito
wings, or one of his arms or legs, be-
fore he can divorce her, a condition
which generally makes the marriage "A
permanent affair.
The actual wedding festivities ex-
tend over days. The guests are given
rooms In the house and served with
rich foods and s~wcetmeats. Musicians
and dancing girls are hired 10 enter
tain them, and IL the families of the
bride and groom are rich the favorite
sport OF the rersians may be staged
10y a pair of professional wrestlers.
After the celebration has lasted
three or four days the bride rides
heavily yelled to her new home OF
horseback. She Is followed by porters
bearing her dowry on their backs. The
wedding celebration then continues for
several days longer.

The Russian Peasants.

The taking over Of some of the
cars landed possessions recalls the
fact that Albert j. Beveridge, in his
book, ''Thc Russian Advance" pub
lisiied n few years ago and in which he
gathered political, social and economic
facts, states that even %thencthe Rus
sian peasant was looking forward ito
a second emancipation, giving them
new additions of land absolutely and
selves" When the peasant ceased to
be a slave he did not comprehend that
he was still not free to use his mas.
ter's tools or to cut from the land.
Owners's forests timber for his use
"The most curious situations" says
growing out of this inability of the
peasant TO comprehend the obligation
as well as the benefits of his enamel.
patton. Liberties are taken by the
Russian peasant with the property Of
n Russian proprietor which would not
be tolerated for an instant by an
American in the same situation. In
all Of this there Is not the slightest
impertinence, not the least intention
to wrong the landed proprietor, nor the
funniest conception on the part Of the
peasant that there is anything immoral
did the like before, and he Just con-
tinues to do the same as a matter Of
course"

EUGENE war AID
Former French Empress Active,
Though 90 Years Old.
consort Of the IlI.Fated Napoleon III
Spending All Her Means and
Strength Caring for Wounded
at English Home.

When German prisoners Of war are
marched to a barbed-wire Enclosure
near Frimley, Aldershot, England, they
pass down an venue below a beautiful
mansion standing on a wooden hill. 1t
often happens that as the Germans file
past the gateway lodge, n %sad-eyed,
venerable woman is standing or sitting
there. 1t is doubtful If any Of the
prisoners know that she Is the surviv-
Ing consort of Napoleon III, who deliv-
cred his sword TO the king Of Prussia
at Sedan. September 1, 1870.
Empress Eugene celebrated her
ninety-second birthday recently by
watching the sight of a new and large
detachment of prisoners marching TO-
ward their concentration camp. It
was a dramatic contrast to the events
of many years ago which robbed her
Of her seat on the French imperial
throne.
Surely there Is not another woman
in the world who has lived through
such experiences as this one, who
forms the link between the riotous
past Of the French and the glorious
present of united democracies. 1t was
her beauty and popularity which aided
Napoleon III to establish himself as
monarch. 1t was the interest aroused
by her marriage with Napoleon III
which enabled him to bring about the
Crimean war, although that war mark
ed the beginning of his fall.
Engenie's influence over her hus-
band was well known and II Is possible
that her intelligence went far toward
helping him TO realize that Prussian-
ism was the real menace OF Europe.
formed in 1866 he knew that here was
his real rival. From the date of the
formation of this bund Prussia has
gone steadily forward with plans for
world power, and 1t must be with feel
ings Of joy that Empress Eugene sees
today the greatest countries on earth
allied with France against the old
enemies of Napoleon III.
Throughout England the name OF
Empress Eugene is revered. Wher'
ever charity and kindness were to he
found 1t was almost certain that her
name would appear In connection
Herewith. Throughout the years that
have elapsed since she went to Eng
land with Napoleon III after the de-
feat ut Sedan, she has worked un'
ceaslngly among the poor and the sick
Her wealth has been Mt the disposal
of charitable organizations. Her only
son, Prince Louis, who went to Eng
land with her, died on the field OF
battle In Zululand.
Her home on marlborough Hill has
been transformed into n hospital fol
British officers. Since early in 1917
she has been using all of her means
and what strength she has left in car
ing for these men who come to hel
from the battlefields of France.

any tender green vegetable In u large
amount of water and then throwing
away the water Is most reprehensible
Mt any time and especially now when
every scrap Of food should be o N
served.
The liquid in which the vegetables are
cooked Is rich In soluble matters that
are valuable In the body and should
never be thrown away but served
with the vegetable as n sauce or add
ed to soup stock.
In cooking any of the succulent
green vegetables, salt should not be
added until they are ready to be sea-
soned. II peas are inclined to lack
sweetness a teaspoonful of sugar to a
pint Of peas will aid wonderfully In
the flavor OF the finished dish. Cook
all vegetables In boiling water and
peas In an open kettle as they keep
their green color better.
For variety II may enjoy some
Of the following ways of preparing
peas: ~.
Peas With BraIsed carrota.-Put
four tablespoonfuls of butter into a
saucepan with two cupfuls Of fresh
ly shelled peas, u bunch Of mint. one
peeled onion, half a cupful Of cream,
a well washed crisp head of lettuce,
finely shredded, and a teaspoonful of
sugar; cover and cook for twenty min
utes, shaking the pan occasionally
while the contents are cooking. When
the peas are cooked, remove the onion
aud mint from the pan. add three egg
yolks that have been beaten with two
tablespoOnfuls of cream. a pinch of
salt and red pepper. shake until the
contents are well mixed, then dish up
the peas. Cook the carrots shredded
In strings In a very little water, add
three tablespOonfuls Of butter to the
tender drained carrots and dust with
paprika and fry until a golden brown,
then add a cupful Of stock or the
liquor In which the carrots were
cooked; simmer n hour. Serve with
the peas.
