| 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.

A (ingular Malady..
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.

Among the party was a young man of

lavish than welcome. As the party
stood gazing on the city the young
man said: “Do you see that house

the location.” "Yes,” said the patient

the numerous one. He paused for a
reply, and this was what he heard:
“What a pity.” The young man man

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. Grape-Nuts
food must have wonderful properties
to effect such cures as this.

The reason Grape-Nuts food relieves
bowel trouble in .babies or adults i3
because the starch of the grain is pre
