A NATURAL STRENGTHENER.

The value of iron in medicine has long
been known, but never more appreciated
than today.
People are learning that in Peptiron-a
real iron tonic-this most useful metal is
so happily combined that it is acceptable
to all, even those who, for some reason
or other, have been unable to take it in
the past.
Peptiron is an agreeable, easily assimi-
lated, n-constipating preparation OF
iron, nux, pepsin, and other tonlcs and
digestives, and is giving great satlsfac-
ton.
In cases where blood cleansing and
liver stimulating as well as nerve
strengthening are needed, Peptlron Is
very effectively and economically supple
mented with Hoods Sarsaparllla and
Hoods Pills. The three medicines form
the Triple Combination Treatment to
which the C. l. Hood Co. is now calling
attention as especially beneficial to SUI
ferers from impure blood, weak. unstrune
nerves, torpid and sluggish liver, or
generally rundown condition.

Transplanting Towering and vege-
table plants is now greatly facilitated
by the use of paper flower pots which
are nothing more or less than the ia
miliar paper drinking cups. For use
in the farm and garden these cups
are perforated and the seedlings are
grown in them in the nursery. When
1t comes time to put the delicate plants
out in the open they are transferred
bodily, pots and all, and placed in the
ground. The transfer is attended by
no shock whatever, which is rarely
the case when the roots are disturbed
during the operation as when removing
them from the little pots of clay which
are generally used for this purpose
The perforations enable the rootlets
to find their way beyond the limits of
the pot, and so the paper does not in
terfere with their growth.

NOT REALLY NEW
Modern Comforts Well Known to
the AnCients.
Running Water in Houses, for In
stance, Was Luxury Enjoyed by
Both the Roman and Early
Egyptian Civilizations,

Many of the so-called modern i'm
provements" of civilization, which so
largely contribute to the comfort of
living, are by no means so recent in
origin as we are disposed to imagine.
An eminent archeologist has recent
ly declared, for example, that Nero's
palace In Rome had three elevators.
1t Is true that those elevators must
have been hosting machines of very
primitive pattern-operated presum-
ably by man power, with the help of
rope and counter weight-apd its is
more than doubtful that they were
ever used to carry human freight. Few
palaces or other buildings in ancient
Rome We're more than two stories in
height, and passenger lifts" were for
that reason not needed.
We are accustomed to think of run
ming water in houses as a modern lux
ury. New York city did not have it
until 1l76, when a reservoir was con-
structed east of Broadway, into which
water was raised by pumping it from
wells dug for the purpose. But that
was a very primitive arrangement
compared with the system of ancient
Rome, by which water was brought
from great distances in aqueducts that
were marvels of engineering and that
emptied through lead pipes into thou
sands of tanks of hewn stone.
Erected at intervals along the streets
OF Pompei We're pillars of masonry,
up which ran lead pipes; and on top
OF each pillar was tank from which
water was distributed by pipes to the
houses. All dwellings, except those of
the very poor, were thus supplied and
some had nearly a score of faucets,
controlled by stopcocks that were
much like those that are in use today.
At many street corners there were
fountains with stone basins, the edges
OF which even now show depreSSionS
worn by the hands of the people who
leaned over to drink. Those fountains
We're fed by the city water which was
brought by an aqueduct from a distant
place so elevated that the head" was
very powerful. That kind of engineer
Ing was highly developed in those
times. When Julius Caesar first Wis
tied Alexandria in Egypt he found
there so complete an underground
water supply system that the city
seemed hollow underneath"
In the year 70 B. c., Julius Caesar
organized the fire department of Rome.
1t had a force of 600 men. At that
time a primitive fire engine had al
ready come into use; it was a pair of
pumps worked by beam, and the two
streams united in a common discharge
pipe and passed out through a nozzle
that could be turned in any direction.
'Siphons fire eXtinguish-
ers-were commonly kept in houses.
Frequent mention is made of them in
ancient literature, but we do not know
what they We're like-Youth's Com
panion.

Lafe's Tribute.

AS we reached certain smooth
road along which travel daily many
ammunition wagons, we met a mule
skinner walking. He was going in the
direction of a certain military grave
yard, where are buried Americans and
French and Germans, Senegalese and
Moroccans and Tunisians-Christian
and Mohammedans. Over the mule
SINNERS right arm hung French
wreath. With his left hand he was
leading a sullen looking mule. AS we
were about to pass him our engine
died. W got out to crank up and
the mule skinner stopped to watch and
talk to us. Meantime an NJ. P. strolled
down.
where you goin' with that, Lafe"
he asked, nodding at the wreath.
"Well," replied Lafe, with a hitch at
the mule, there was a damn fool l
used to sleep with, and he got his TWO
nights ago He was hell of a good
fellow, and I bought this wreath to put
on his cross. "-Maude Radford War
