Samarkand

From "Samarkand," by Nikolah P. zaro-
 killi. in the Scribner.
 Of all the cities of central Asia. Mara kanda, as the Greeks called samarkand, in Turkestan, has been the most impor- tant at practically all times Upon this city and Bokhara for ages the covetous eyes Of the various Khans. Khakans, or Amirs have been focused. and as inc waves Of invasions came from east or west, north or south. these two cities suf- tered partial or total destruction.
 Under Timous, Samarkand became the capital Of his vast empire and was the center Of Asia and the Mohammedan world. This ruler was responsible for most of it's monuments, which have sur vived to the present day, and which may be justly acclaimed as the masterpieces of Islam. To Samarkand he sent archf- tects. scientists and artisans from con qucred cities. and his army. when not onraeed in war. he used for building.
 Conditions in Bokhara and Samarkand, once the greatest slave markets of Asia, where at times slave could be bought for about 25 cents. the same price as that of measure of grain, so improved under Russian control that these cities are as safe to visit and inhabit as were Mos COW or Petrograd before the war
 The town of Bokhara is today exactly as it was in the days of Timour The streets, the shops. the habits breathe mediaevaiism. Samarkand abounds in ori- ental interest. Particularly imposing is tho scene of the Reghistan and its three monumental mattresses (colieges).

Passing of Our Waterfowl.

w diter HrlcndTQ EdtOn Tn Harper Mag azine.
 Wood ducks are fewer in number than they used to be, like most other water fowl. Gone are those wonderful days when the first arrivals at New Amsterdam found the swampy harbor shores a para disc of ducks and geese and superb whistling swans. The wild cherry still
 grows on the wide Newark marches, but clouds of coal smoke, not geese, ascend from it's midst. The pretty wood duck, one of the duck family which is classified as river in distinction to the ''sea' or "bay" ducks, was formerly a com mon summer resident of northeastern
 America, and was, in fact. often called the summer duck. But it has too many interesting characterstics-for it's own good. In the first place. it can be eaten, as it subsists largely on vegetable seeds and insects. In the second place, it not only nests on dry land, but, unlike all other ducks, in a tree. a hollow tree. Finally. especially in the autumn when the woods are full of acorns and other food, it flies about often a long dis
 tance from water, quite like grouse.
 and makes an even better shot. Dr..
 Eaton reports that in 1902. when the law prohibiting spring shooting was finally passed, the wood duck had been prac- tically exterminated from western New York. Since that date it is, he says. "holding it's own" I am not convinced that it is even holding it's own in my neighborhood.

Binding Yankee to France.

M K Wisehart, in Leslie's.
 It was proposed that American regi- ments should adopt the children of Frenchmen killed in the war, and con tribute 500 francs toward thelr nam tenance for year. Then the offers poured in; they came from regiments, companies, batteries, staffs of various
 army departments and individuals. One
 man wanted "a bandy-legged boy or girl with auburn curls." He got girl l with auburn curls and her name IS Jeanette C.. Officers of the colonels s mess of the 10th engineers asked for Ia girl just old enough to write letters to the mess" Men of the College of the City of New York wanted "a boy from Paris so that some day he may go through college in the first city of France, thanks to men of college Tn the first city of the United States
 Battery E, saith field artillery wanted an orphan, but they were unable to de- eide of what sex. Probably" they wrote, tour choice would be a girl if we weren't too bashful to say so" Air craft armament section wanted two girl orphans-"one a blonde and one brunette"
 The necessary research for fulfilling these requests was performed by the war oprhan bureau of the Red Cross.
 Families having the largest number Of children and the greatest need were selected, while the children themselves were chosen with view to the possi- bility of their becoming good social ma terial for the future of France. When the godchild or ''filleuP' was found he was introduced to his godparents or , "parrains" by photoe graphs Otter pho- tographs were exchanged all round Letters were always exchanged. The correspondence proved so interesting
 that it accounts in part for the rapid
 spread of the desire throughout the A
 E. F. for "filluels,' and today the de-
 mand for them is greater than it seems wise to supply under the system em- ployed in the past.
 It was decided recently to limit the number of adoptions to 5000, but be- fore the plan could be reorganized the number of requests had reached 3444.
 Under the new plan which went into effect in March contributions will not be expended on individuals, but will be put in a continuation fund" for i'll leus," and this fund will be used to in- sure education throughout a period Of years for children of marked aptitude. Meanwhile the S. o. S. has put in it's order for 1000 godchildren, and the S. o. S.-which thinks it's going home soon and wants to be introduced to it's godchildren before it goes-is demand ing prompt attention to its wants. These 'Eilluels" will be selected from the liberated regions of the north and east where great need exists.

LANIiNATED WOOD

1t is a remarkable proof of the serv-
iceabillty of the builtup or laminated
wood, which the United tates Forest
Products Laboratory has devised by
combining small pieces to make larg-
er ones, that this built up wood Is
likely to be widely adopted for maxi
ing baseball bats. Hitherto baseball
bats have been made of selected wood,
and have played large part in the
annual manufacture of sporting and
athletic goods that has been using up
about 25.000,000 feet of lumber.
Baseball bats necessarily get hard
usage. but In the experimental work
OF the laboratory not bat, although
many have been broken in the severe
tests to which they have been sub
tected. has been broken at the glued
joints. The laminated wood bat is
apparently even stronger than the
bat made of solid wood. and for that
reason, If no other. the American ma
tional game will perhaps eventually
be played with bats made of the wood
devised by the national experlmenters
in the conservation and utilization of
the national forests.-Christian Sci

Nature Gives a Cry for Help
That S. S. S. Can Answer
With the Right Treatment,

This is the season when the
damp, cold, changing weather
of winter intensi6es the pains
and other disagreeable symp-
toms of rheumatism.
Rheumatism never comes by
accident. 1t is in the blood and
system before a pain is felt.
The symptoms of this dis
ease are almost unnoticed at
first, so insidiously do they
steal over the body; gradually
the little pains and stiffness in
crease until they develop great
'.inconVenince day by day, and
If neglected or improperly
treated will become chronic.
Not only is Rheumatism the
most painful of all diseases,
with its swollen, stiff joints,
'throbbing muscles and sting
ing nerves, but it is a formid-
able and dangerous trouble.
Every day the poison re-
mains in the system the dis
ease gets a frmer hold and the
patient is soon left a helpless
cripple.
OF course, if this painful dis
ease was on the surface only,
you might reasonably expect
Ito get relief by the use of To-
tions, liniments and other local
applications. But the source of
the disease is in your blood,
the tiny disease germs find
;lodgment there and multiply
by the millions, scattered by
means of the blood circulating

planning to conduct the bout in
which Wilde will make his first
Eastern boxing appearance is a mat
ter for conjecture. Certain 1t is that
the match will be conducted in a
temporary arena. The work of
adopting a plan for the new club
enlisting memberships, and arrang-
ing many other details of less i'm
port, all require time which will
carry we'll into the new year and
beyond the date set for the opening
show. This show, by the way, was
originally announced for February
3, but has been definitely deferred
until February 23. Sufficient patron
age is guaranteed to make a success
of the coming carnival, and any
others that are to follow. Wilde, in
himself, would be remarkable at
traction for any boxing club. but to
insure further attractive competition
the club officials will arrange for a
series of Army and Navy champion
ship bouts between the best men in
the service.
"Wilde's arrival here and his ac-
tiVities since crossing Uncle Sans
threshold give an indication of the
tremendous interest which will be
aroused by a bout in which he will
be q participant. The advent of the
remarkable little Briton has, too,
stimulated interest in a boxing di-
vision heretofore comparatively un-
noticed-the bantamweight class.
Boxers of stature slight enough to
qualify in this class are, fguratively
speaking, trampling each other in
their efforts to attract attention with
the possibility of "a match with
Wilde as their objective. This ac-
tivity promises plenty of action for
the little Britisher If he seeks
| frequent Matches"

WHY MAKE THE
ANNUAL STRUGGLE
WITH RHEUMATISM?

throughout your entire sys-
tenn.
In order to get permanent
relief from this dreadful dis
ease, the blood must be puri-
fed, and all irritating matter
removed from the circulation.
No remedy does this SO
quickly as S. S. S., the best
blood purifier on the market
to-day, that has stood the test
of time with fifty years of sue
cess behind it, and more popu-
lar to-day than it has ever been
before.
S. S. S. not only contains
purifying and tonic properties,
but solvent qualities, and, be-
ing purely vegetable, will not
injure the system as do medi-
cines which contain potash and
other mineral ingredients.
While cleansing the blood OF
all poison, it builds up the sys-
tenn and relieves the sufferer
of the nagging pains of Rheu-
matism and is the one remedy
that is so useful in repairing
the damage done by impover-
ished blood.
Don't wait for your trouble
to become chronic, but begin
the use of S. S. S. to-day and
purge the blood of the germs
of Rheumatism.
