other cities. In the summer of 1896
the first steamship of the newly estab-
lished japanese line made port with
her cargo of silks, teas, curios and
other valuable products of the far
East. A year later the first ship from
Alaska brought absolute proof of the
intrinsic worth of Alaska's amazing
riches awaiting the prospector.
OF the gold that poured into Seattle
during the first year no estimate was
made. The first effect was to crowd
the city with men of all ages and ma
tionalities, bound for Alaska and the
Yukon territory. Seattle was electri-
fed with new energy.
Rail meets sail in any seaport city
entered by single line of track, but
Seattle has the advantage over any
other Pacific coast city in that here
more rails meet more sails. King coun-

traffic handling and industrial develop

The Russian Peasants,

The taking over of some of the
cars landed possessions recalls the
fact that Albert J. Beverage, 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 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.
1.-THE most curious situations" says
Mr.. Beyeridge, ARE even yet arising,
growing out of this inability of the
peasant to comprehend the. obligation
as we'll as the benefits of his enamel
patton. Liberties are taken by the
Russian peasant with the property Of
q 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"

SAVING NICKELS AND DIMES
Shortage In Small Coins Declared
Due to Widely Adopted Prac-
tice of Thrift.

Shortage of small coins, complained
of by banks, may be due partly to the
practice of saving buffalo nickcls and
the new dimes, bankers say, according
to the Minneapolis Journal.
Many persons have formed the habit
of putting away the buffalo coins or
the new ten-cent pieces on the we'll
established theory that the saver can
accumulate considerable sums in this
way and yet do it so gradually that
she never misses It."
1.-THE shortage Of nickels and dimes
probably is due in part to this prac-
tice. There is, however, IN even more
stringent shortage Of pennies, which
has been felt for the last six months"
Bankers said the penny famine prob
ably was due to recently instt1led thrift
among children. Pennies given them
by parents, coins that formerly went
back into circulation as quickly as
little feet could fiutter to the conner
candy store, now find their way into
the toy bank.

Gus is a new antiseptic solution per-
fected after ten years work by DR..
Wilfred Fralick of New York; DR.. Os-
car Eckstein of the University of Ber-
lin, and DR.. A. C. Allen of the Univer-
sity Of Chicago.
1t is superior to the famous Carrel-
Dakin solution because, in addition to
everything that preparation can do, it
can be used on the brain and in the
abdominal cavity and can be injected
directly into the blood without dan
ger.
The last named quality makes it Of
startling significance in the treatment
of blood poisoning.
While to put the Carrel-Dakin solu-
ton into the veins of q patient would
mean certain death, the new prepara-
ton, a chlorinated solution of PEI
manganate of potash, can be run d.
rectly into the blood stream without
disturbing anything there except the
evil elements meant to be attacked.

~ IXTY years is but brief span in
the life of most cities, yet these
past 60 years in the life of
~ Seattle have seen its develop
ment from primeval wilderness to q
city of worldwide importance. Tne
era of development started in 1852,
when n group of hardy pioneers, one
of whom is still living in Seattle, land
ed on the wide beach at AlKi point,
Just outside the entrance of the har
Dor. Here the first rude cabins were
built and the first homes of the future
city established. But soon, in seeking
better protection for themselves from
the storms of the Pacific, better means
of wrestling necessary livelihood from
the soil and the waters, the pioneers
rounded the wooded prOmontory of Du-
vanish, entered the harbor and estab
liShed their settlement on its eastern
shore.
AS new settlers were attracted by
the fertility of the soil, says Earle
Gage in Grit, the advantages of the
harbor location and the soft, equable
climate all the year round, there came
sawmill which was the institution
of the great lumber business, which to-
day has given the state of Washington,
and Seattle in particular, world repu-
tation.

HINT OF WAR GAS IN "ILIAD"
Homer Says That "Fierce Mars Spread
Vapor Over the Battle,
Aiding the Trojans.

Why, I wonder, is the word "Ho-
merle" such favorite with writer's at
the front and with the subedttors who
trick out their narratives? In the Flo
merle days men fought Will, swords
and spears and bows ard arrows, with
the assistance Of an occasional thun-
derbolt from Jove. What basis of
comparison is there between these toys
AMI the weapons of today?
Yet there is one curious parallel
which has not, I think, been pointed
out. In the fifth book of the "Illad"
we are told that "fierce Mars spread a
vapor over the battle, aiding the Tro-
JAMS" If not exactly poison gas, this
may be said to be at least an antici-
patton of tho modern smoke SCREEN

LONG WEDDINGS IN PERSIA
Ceremonies, Continuing Several Days,
Among Most Curious and Elabo-
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 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 ~betroti1al is a 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
60 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 herald, but goes
himself, bearing as rich a 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 at any time.
When it 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 q 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 sweetmeats. Musicians
and dancing girls are hired to enter
tain them, and if the families of the
bride and groom are rich the favorite
sport of the Persians may be staged
by q pair Of professional wrestlers.
After the celebration has lasted
three or four days the bride rides
heavily yelled to her new home on
horseback. She is followed by porters
bearing her dowry on their backs. The
wedding celebration then continues for
several days longer.

Further Uses for Aluminium.

Aluminium is now being substituted
in place of wood In the manufacture
of automobile bodies. Large sections
of aluminium castings are now used
In making touring cars and the in
closed bodies of certain other motor
cars, a use which was not practicable
ten years ago. Cast aluminium is also
used for making automobile dashes.
Bodies made Of it are lighter than
those made of other sheet metal, and
have rigid surface that will not dent
easily in case Of accident. The alum
mum surface retains paint well, and
the increased rigidity makes the car
more durable.
