CURES ALL EYE AFFECTIONS. | BATTLE FIELDS ON WHICH ~j | HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE j * i I Col. Yanke, a retired German officer, nas just read a lecture before the members of the Berlin Geographical society on the results of a journey last rear through Asia Minor, undertaken for the purposes of historical and geo graphical investigation. The starting point of the journey was Alexandretta, and the route followed was first to Smyrna, then by ship to Rhodes, Mes sina, and Adana, on the Cilician coast. An excursion to Pompeiopolis was made, as well as one from Alexan dretta to Bailan and the Bailan pass. The latter, lying 680 metres above the level of the sea, afforded a beautiful view of the Plain of Antioch and the Kara-su Valley. On returning to the battlefield of Issus, where Alexander the Great defeated Darius, surveys were made, which excited much curi osity among the population. Two other passes, mentioned by Strabo and Xenophon, were also visit ed, one forming a defile along the coast. The battlefield of Issus is crossed by two rivers, and the common opinion was that the river which proved disastrous to Darius was the most northerly one. The leeturer re garded this assumption as erroneous, as the river in question had high steep banks. The southern river must, therefore, have been the one which Darius had in his rear. Misled by his scouts as to the movements of the Macedonian army, he committed the same mistake which was so fatal to him at Granicus, drawing up his troops on too limited a ground in front of the river. The lecturer considered that the estimate of (>00,000 men as the strength of the Persian army was ex cessive, since so large a body of troops could never have had room on the battlefield. The number was probably only GO,000. Alexander, who had re covered from his illness caused by bathing in the Cydnus, more rapidly than his opponent had expected, sur prised the Persians in their unfavor able position and defeated them. From Issus the lecturer continued his journey over the Cllician Gate and the Taurus range to the salt steppes in the interior of the country. The opportunity was taken to survey the course and the valley of the Kokun-su. The valley leads up to the Taurus and forms at the top a level 250 metres In width, encompassed by high rocks, which must have been passed over by armies In ancient times on their marches from the coast to the north west. Trips were made from Smyrna to Pergamon, Ephesus, and Troy. At Troy a party of thirty ladies and gentlemen archaeologists, who were visiting the hills of Hissarlic under the guidance of Prof. Dorpfeld, was met. From this point the neighboring battle field on the Granicus (Karaboga) was visited. At the spot where Darius suffered his first defeat at the hands of Alexander, the Granicus is only a si allow expanse of water which can be waded without difficulty and which has, doubtless, been often crossed by armies.—Correspondence of London Standard. MEEK AND LOWLY MULE GIVEN MEED OF PRAISE In many respects the mule is the noblest beast that has been placed under man’s dominion, but unjust ridi cule for some unaccountable reason marked the long-suffering brute for its own and by obscuring his many virtues and playing upon his few de fects and idiosyncrasies has compelled him since the day he was discovered by Anah in the wilderness to live un der the torture of a false and slander ous report. At last, however, he is being restored to his proper position in the social and economic world. In truth the mule, if he happens to be a Missouri product, is a valuable, beautiful and lovely beast. For gen eral all around purposes, in compari son with the horse, mules are super ior. They are easy and cheap to raise, easy to sell and hard to blemish. They go to the market early and bring big ger profits for the time, work and money expended in growing than any other stock. Time and hard work have less effect upon them than upon any other kind of flesh. Disease rare ly touches them. Adversity and hard knocks make them stronger and tougher. A mule does not wither or weaken with age. The process of years sim ply turns his coltish friskiness to con templative sedateness, his silvery ’■oice to a raucous roar and his ob streperous heels to the paths of peace. His habits, as they are better understood, are less feared and more appreciated. He is tractable, gentle, sympathetic and very intelligent. When well treated he loves his mas ter, as Sancho, the companion of Don Quixote, and many old negroes in the south have proved. He eats little and requires no shel ter, and toils to the bitter end with out complaint or fatigue. He quickly understands the whims of his driver and will go and can be guided with out whip or rein. He is a dynamo in hide, an engine on hoof—a perfect ma chine in flesh and blood, which rarely gets out of order or temper.—Kansas City Journal. | HOME TRIFLES OF TO-DAY | AND THIRTY YEARS AGO I Within the last thirty years—a generation—a hundred and one little household necessities that mama used to make are now on the counters of the department stores for sale at prices that stagger humanity. When the dear old lady of 1873 wanted a wash rag she would make it by hemming a square foot of the old man's discarded undershirt. She can buy a wash rag now for three cents. When she wanted a floor rag she would rip open a flour bag or a bur lap sack. She can buy a floor rag now for seven cents. When she wanted something to shine the silver with she would take an old stocking, an old sock or the sleeve of a worn-out woolen garment, or possibly the leg end of the old maij’s drawers. To-day she can buy a polishing cloth of some patented material as good as chamois skin for five cents. Mama used to make iron holders out of quilting—any old piece left over or worn out. Now she can buy all she wants made of asbestos for five cents each. Dust rags or cloths? Why, bless you, what did she do with the old night shirts, petticoats and chemises? They are for sale now at ten cents. She used to cover the ironing board with a ripped bed sheet, but to-day she buys a cover in the store for a quarter. Dish rags were made of anything lying around—an old towl, a shirt, coat lining, pillow case or sleeve. In the department store to-day, five cents Pot rag? A piece of tattered table cloth was none too good. To-day in the stores, five cents. For polishing the stove she used a rag dipped in the blacking; now she buys a sheepskin glove, with the wool outside, for twenty cents. She would make window shades out of bolts of linen and take them down once every six months to wash them. Now she buys shades ready made that never can be washed and never will be. : SOCIETY WOMEN IN SCRAP j I OVER GAME OF “BRIDGE” j ! ___ That women of society should en gage in a vulgar brawl over cards seems almost beyond belief, yet there occurred the other day in the house of a well-known leader of society a hand-to-hand scuffle that would have done credit, to a group of fishwives, according to Modern Society. The hostess, who is celebrated for her strenuousness, came gullantly to the rescue, and was thrown on the floor and basely trampled upon. The lady's house is the headquarters for a bevy of women who delight in the intri cacies of bridge. The hostess is con sidered an expert player. She is a perfect encyclopedia on rules, and her decisions on mooted questions are usually accepted. On this particular occasion everything had been running smoothly until it was almost time for adjournment. The hostess left the : room to investigate a delay on the i I part of the servants, and in her ab- | sence a dispute arose between two ol the most respected of her guests. As often happens in the case of the vulgar gambler, one word led on tc another in this case, until an intinia tion of foul play—the slip of an angry tongue-—precipitated the climax. Tc the horror of the rest of the guests these genteel card players made a pass ur two and seized each other by the hair. Then the strenuous lady suddenly appeared on the scene. Quick to think and act, she stepped between the combatants, and with her musculat arms, forced them apart. But, alas! three pairs of feet became entangled the peacemaker went sprawling to the floor, and her arm was hurt by con tact with a French heel. The ludi crons situation caused the quick-tem pered participants to realize that it was rather disreputable as well, and tears of repentance fell thick as autumn leaves in Y'allombrosa. Mr*.

Death has at last claimed the vic tim of a singular disease. Nine years ago David Yetter, of Oakwood, Mich., was assailed with rheumatism of a form that attacked the joints. Pro gressive osiflcation marked the case, the entire body being stiffened with the disease. The victim was at length unable to masticate food and relied on liquid nourishment. Then the jaws stiffened so that he could no longer open his mouth. A front tooth was extracted and through the opening thus provided was given the nourishment that added longer lease of a life that even under such condi tions was preferable to death. When this came at last Yetter's body had the hardness of stone. Mrs. Campbell’s Sarcasm. During her engagement in San Francisco, Mrs. Patrick Campbell was taken for a trip around the bay. Among the party was a young man of the all pervading kind, whose atten tions to the noted actress were more lavish than welcome. As the party stood gazing on the city the young man said: “Do you see that house up there, Mrs. Campbell?” describing the location.” "Yes,” said the patient guest. “I was born there,” remarked the numerous one. He paused for a reply, and this was what he heard: “What a pity.” The young man man aged to efface himself. BABY WEATHER. kittle Fellows Don't Like the Hot Days. Mothers should know exactly what food to give babies in hot weather. With the broiling hot days in July and August the mother of u baby is always anxious for the health of her little one and is then particularly care ful in feeding. Milk sours quickly and other food is uncertain. Even in spite of caution, sickness sometimes creeps in and then the right food is more nec essary than ever. “Our baby boy two years old began in August to have attacks of terrible stomach and bowel trouble. The phys ician said his digestion was very bad and that if it had been earlier in the summer and hotter weather we would surely have lost him. "Finally we gave baby Grape-Nuts food, feeding it several times the first day and the next morning he seemed better and brighter than he had been for many days. There was a great change in the condition of his bowels and in three days they were entirely normal. He is now well and getting very strong and fleshy and we know *hat Grape-Nuts saved his life, for he was a very, very ill baby.
