The last named quality makes it of
startling significance in the treatment
of blood poisoning.
While to put the Carrel-Dakin Solu-

mean certain death, the new prepara-

disturbing anything there except the

village street the old man PLAYED tune

different shops and houses.
"A monkey was with him ana the

his cap and then into his little pocket

in red and he looked rather hot and
uncomfortable.
The man would make the monkey
do tricks and the people who watched
gave the monkey money Later on
the man took the money. For what
could the monkey do with pennies? He
could not go out and buy food. No,
he had to take just what was given 10
MIN. And sometimes he did rut get
quite enough.
And Yet the old mae was almost
greeted with smiles. No one asked
him If he was good to his monkey. No

The Russian Peasants.

The taking over of some of the
cars landed possessions recalls the
fact that Albert J. Beyeridge. in his
book, The Russian Advance" pub
lished few years ago and in which he
gathered political, social and economic
facts, states that even then the Rus.
sian peasant was looking forward ito
a second emancipation, giving them
new additions of land absolutely and
without any cost whatever to them
selves" When the peasant ceased to
be 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.
1.-The most curious situations" says
MIR. Beverage, 'are even yet arising,
growing out of this inability of the
peasant to comprehend the obligation
as well as the benefits of his emanCi-
patton. Liberties are taken by the
Russian peasant with the property Of
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
faintest conception on the part of the
peasant that there is anything immoral
in what he does. He or his fathers
did the like before, and he just con,
tinues TO do the same as a matter OF
course"

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

The marriage ceremonies which sol
emniZe wedding among tn" Moham-
medanS Of Persia are among the most
curious and elaborate in the world.
Any American bridegroom who dis
likes what men are wont TO describe
as the fuss and bother" of a 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 Il 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 neighbOring 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 not send Il herald, but goes
himself, bearing as rich u present as
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 ct any time.
When 1t is desired to make the divorce
the kaben is set at some i'm
possible sum or commodity. The huS-
band may be required to give the
bride hundredweight of mosquito
wings, or one of his arms or legs, be-
fore he can divorce her, a condition
which generally makes the marriage u
affair.
The actual wedding festivities ex-
end over days. The guests are given |
'o0mS In the house and served with !
'ich foods and Swectmcats. Musicians |,
ma dancing girls are hired to enter !
ain them, and if the families of the !
rice and groom are rich the favOrite .
port OF the PerSianS may be staged
y pair of professional wreStlers.
After the celebration has lasted
hree or four days the bride rides
ieavily yelled to her new home on
or$eback. She IS followed by porterS
earring her dowry on their backs. The
iedding celebration then continues for
everal days longer.

MAYOR OF NOYON THANKS
CAPITAL FOR ADOPTION"
Writes Ambassador Sharp Of Graft
tude for Promise Of Restoration
by Washington Citizens.

PARIS. May 24.-Senator Noel, mayor
of the town of Noyon. who Is in Paris
still suffering from the effect of several
months Imprisonment in Germany after
having resisted German exactions in
his town for more than year, in a
statement to the Associated Press, has
expressed his thanks over the fact that
a group OF citizens of Washington, u.
c., had formally adopted" Noyon.
Il never can sufficiently thank the
Americans for what is being done for
France" said NJ. Noel Il visited Wash
ington a few years ago, and have a
most agreeable recollection of my re-
ception there. and accordingly am all
the more touched by this most delicate
attention.
1T is a most significant and interest
ing coincidence that Noyon, one of the
rfost ancient of the French towns and
the first commune in France to gain
its absolute liberty. is the first French
town to be adopted by an American
city, and that that city Is Washington,
which is named after one of the prin-
cipal authors of the great American
republic"
Senator Noel has written William
Graves Sharp. the American ambassador.
a formal letter regarding the movement
in Washington to restore the devas-
tated town of Noyon and has requested
Senator DEstournelles de Constant to
thank the Washington citizens and the
American people in his name.
