General Pershlna,e War Map.

In installing General Pershing's war
map in the old National Museum build
ing in Washington, the commanders
room at the front just as it looked
when the map was in actual use, is
being reproduced as setting. Here
will be the chairs used by the general
and his aids while they studied the
map, which changed hourly, night and
day, as reports came in and were re-
corded. The table at which the officers
looked over documents will stand as 1t
used to at one side, and the walls will
be covered with the identical lineoleum
that was background for the map.
The map was brought over in pieces
now joined together, and the conven-
tional design of the lineoleum is said
to give an odd kitchenlike domesticity
to the room in which General Pershing
watched history writing itself In a
very literal sense on the wall.

The second coalition consisting OF
Russia. Austria, England, Portugal,
Naples and Turkey began war with
France in 1899. Napoleon was in
Egypt and the directory saw It's ar

Rhine. Fastening back to France
Bonaparte overthrow the directory
and made himself first consul IN NO
vember of that year. Crossing the
Alps the next May he won the bat
t~s of Marengo and Montebelio ana
restored the French power IN ltaly.
Meantime Moreau had penetrated INTO
the heart of Austria. On June l9 ne
won the battle Of Hochstadt and on
December administered final ana
crushing defeat to the Austrians at
Hohenlinden. Russia had entered
into amicable relations with France.
Prussia had remained neutral; only
n few of the smaller German states
followed the German emperor, Fran
els of Austria. Moreau was within
five days march of Vienna, master OF
nm immense stretch Of territory and
Of all the enemy's magazines. The
emperor had asked for an arnistlce
and Joseph Bonaparte had met the
Austrian envoy, Cobentzel, at Lune-
VILE in Lorraine to negotiate for a
peace.
LiostIlities Resumed.
The armistice was prolonged but,
Austria refusing to negotiate without
England, hostilities were resumed.
Napoleon gave orders for vigorous
prosecution of the war; both in Italy
and Germany. Joseph Bonaparte and
Cobentzel remained at Luneville maxi
ing negotiations which were changed
every day by the progress of the war.
At last, abandoned by the neutral
powers, isolated in Germany and sep
arated from England, which alone re-
NAMED hostile to France, the emperor
yielded, and on February 8, 1901, Co

THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkhan's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where tliis
successful remedy Is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
K Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season Of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
IL is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

One of those treaties intended to
settle forever the question of the
Near Eas.." was signed at Paris in
1885, closing the Crimean war; the
signatories being on the one side Tur-
key, France. England and Sardinia
and on the other Russia.
About all that remains now in popu-
lar recollection regarding the Crimean
war Is Bayard Taylor's Song of the
Camp" and Tennyson's "Charge OF the
Light Brigade" OF all the reputa-
tons made in that war that of Flor
ence Nightingale alone survives. Two
poems have outlasted all the treaties
and protocols to which the war gave
rise and the name of nurse is re-
membered while those of the generals
who provided her sick and wounded
are forgot.
Among the statesmen who conclud
ed the peace treaty the most bril-
| liant and widely acclaimed was the
| Russian, Count Nesselrode, whose
fame is now perpetuated only by the
delectable pudding which bears his
name and which Paris cook invented
in his honor during the peace confer
4 ence. A curious incident of this war
was the entrance of Sardinia into a
conflict in which she was not the least
concerned and the only lasting result
! of the war was the formation Of the
Kingdom of Italy, which French arms
enabled Sardinia shortly after to es'
| tablish in gratitude for Sandman aid
in the field and council chamber.
Began to Shake mailed Fists"
The origin of the war was no less
singular than its results. 1t sprang
| from dispute between the Greek and
Latin churches over the custody OF
the holy places in and around Jerusa-
lem. The Greeks had gradually en-.
croached upon the preserves of the
Latins. Napoleon III. in 1851 demand
ed Of. Turkey that the property Of the
Latins be restored to them. The Car
| Nicholas threatened Turkey If she in
terfered. The car and the emperor
who hated each other personally, be-
gan to shake their mailed fists
England suddenly realized that a con
flict was impending between Russia
and France for paramount influence
in the East. The czar made advances
to England, saying that Turkey was
"the sick man of Europe He-nss
posed Russian protectorate over the
principalities (Roumania) and ths
erection on the Balkan peninsula OF
independent Christian states; Con
| stantinople to be neutralized, Engfant
to seize Egypt, Cyprus and Crete. i
is interesting to compare these terms
with what afterward actually happened
and with what is now advocated Will
regard to Constantinople. Diplomatic
pourparlers began. England tried t
avert war by inducing France to mod
ify her demands, but without success
EARLY in 1853 Russia modified hel
army and sent an ultimatum to Tur
KEY demanding the maintenance o.
the status quo regarding the holy
places and Russian protectorate over
the subjects of the sultan of the Greel
faith. To have granted the latter woulf
have deprived the sultan of authority

Cars Acceptance Too Late.

English had landed in the Crimea III
September. The Russians We're de-
feated at the battles of Alma, Sep

Inkerman, November 5. The siege of
Sebastopol began in October and last
ed nearly a year. The allied troops
suffered horribly in the trenches and
the car boosted that his two best
generals, General January and Gen
eral February" would retrieve for him
the fortunes Of the war. While things
were at their worst for the allies the
fresh troops of the Sandman army
arrived. On the 9Th OF the next Sep

three days later. Gar Nicholas died
Of d broken heart and his successor

Russia gave up her claims to a pro-

over the Christians of Greek faith in
Turkey; ceded the mouths OF the
Danube and declared that river free
to navigation under an European COM
mission. Merchant ships were grant
ed free entrance into the Black sea

was prohibited from maintaining

dismantle her naval stations on IFS

powers that she abrogated that par'
of the treaty regarding the Black sea
