t HOW RUSSIA'S GRAND ♦
♦ COMMANDER LIVES ♦
♦ ♦
(Correspondence of Assoclsted Press.)
Petrograd-The headquarters of th#
Grand Duke Nicholas Is on hoard a special
train of six cars. In which h* Jumps from
one Held of activity to another at frequent
Intervals ss the necessities of strategy dic
tate. Sometimes the train stands on th#
same siding for a fortnight at a time.
Sometimes only for an hour, but at all
times the locomotive has steam up, ready
at an Instant's notice to be on the way
again. It Is in this moving habitation
that the commander In chief of the Rus
sian armies spends practically all his
flights and a considerable proportion of
his days
He has also a fixed headquarters, located
far behind the lines In a little town so
peaceful and Isolated that It has never
yet aroused the curiosity of the German
aeroplane or Zeppelin scouts. The place
Is well but unostentatiously guarded. The
grand duke’s train consists of a new lo
comotive, a sleeping car, a dining car, a
parlor car and an ordinary first class
coach, followed by two baggage vans,
Bach containing a high powered motor car
which can be quickly unloaded and used
for trips to points not reached by the rail
road lines. Whenever the train stops,
•entries with fixed bayonets take their
places silently at each doorway and at
the front and rear. By night the train
runs without any lights visible from out
•lde, except the necessary signal lamps.
The commander In chief and his staff, be
hind curtained windows, work late Into
the night The grand duke seldom retires
before midnight, and four or five hours Is
as much as he allows himself for sleep.
Throughout the empire the war has
made the grand duke the great popular
hero of the day. His lofty stature, his
fearless honesty, his sharp haughty sever
ity, his reputation for firmness and Justice
his strict adherence to discipline, are all
qualities which appeal to the popular
mind more directly In time of war than In
peace. Innumerable anecdotes are related
of him, and on all sides one may hear the
hope expressed that he will go Into poli
ties after the war and rid the country of
some of the obvious drawbacks of the old
bureaucracy. But those close to the grand
duke say. that he has no Inclination for
politics, and many doubt whether the
qualities which make him a popular Idol
as commander In chief would appear with
equal advantage If his sphere of action
were political rather than military.
One of the grand duke's pet aversions Is
the Gerirann-Russlan population of the
country, which Is particularly numerous
and Influential In the northwest and Is
also rather firmly established In Petro
grad. Many of the Russo-Germans are
excellent citizens and unquestionably loyal
to Russia: many others however, are
either admittedly pro-German or of doubt
ful loyalty. The grand duke has heen
the chief barker of the campaign which
has recently heen carried out In Petrograd
against this class of citizens. It Is said
that the grand duke recently remarked to
his nephew, the czar: "You may feel quite
at esse with regard to the Germans at the
front. T will undertake to give them a
thorough heating. I only wish you could
be sure that the rncmv In your own court
Would be as well handled.”
War Hurts Sugar Industry.
The effect of the present war In Europe
en the geography of the world's sugar
production Is strikingly shown In a state
ment Just Issued by the National Geo
graphic society. This statement Is as fol
lows:
Fifty-three out of every 100 pounds of
SugaT produced In the world Is grown In
the countries now at war and their eol
• onles. The total production of the world
Is estimated at approximately 18.000,000
I tons This production Is made up of cane
sugar and beet sugar, the total yield of
t cane sugar having been 9,545,000 tons, and
of beet sugar, 8,438,000 tons In 1913.
One of the peculiar facts connected with
the sugar map of the world Is that while
Eurone produces more than 93 out of ev
ery 100 pounds of beet sugar grown, It
yields only one pound out of every 600 of
cane sugar Of Europe’s total production
of beet sugar, amounting to 7.808,000 tons,
5,666 *00 tons grew In belligerent territory
In 1913, Nearly all of this product Is now
entl'-ely Isolated from the outside world,
heir- grown mainly In Germany. Aus
trla-lfungnrv and Russia. WhHt Ihla
means to (he world Is revenled bv- the
fact that more than two-thirds of the
world s sugar Is not consumed In tho
country of Its origin, this condition arl.e.
lug from the fact that the great sugar
usln- nations nre prlminally outside of
the belts of sugar production.
Any scarcity of sugar, growing out of
the wn". will affect the United States
more seriously than any other country,
for, the reason that American people are
f; per caplin the heaviest users of sugar
In the world. With l-60th of the world's
population, the United States consumes
more than one-fifth of Its sugar. How
rapidly Ibis country Is becoming a nation
of sugar eaters Is revealed by a reference
to the tables of sugar consumption of the
past half century. FIftv years ago the
peonle of the United States ate 18 pounds
of sugar per capita. Five years later. In
1870. they were using 33 pounds per capita,.
In 1880, the per capita consumption had
gone up to 40 pounds Twcnt.v-flve years
ago It had risen to 51 pounds. In 1900 It
had climbed sill! higher to 59 pounds. By
l 1910 the mercury In the sugar consump
tion thermometer reached 80. Today the
per capita consumption Is upwards of 85
pounds.
It appears that the cane sugar Industry
will suffer little In the matter of the total
crop yield as a result of the war. On the
other hand the beet sugar huglness will
Suffer heavily. The present Russian crop
has been almost entirely tied up by In
ability to get exivorts out of the country,
while nexf year's crop is threatened with
( a si.^tffge rfSultlng from the destruction
of the Industry In Poland, where so much
•of Russia's sugar Is nroduced. The re
i .-ports from France Indicate that the rich
"Sugar beet lands of the northern section
-were harvested last season under the di
rection of the Germans and that most
of the Itttgar factories In this territory
"have,liven dismantled to secure their cop
5VSP ;or the manufacture of war muni
Information from Germany Indicates
that the empire will plant only three
fourths of its normal area In sugar beets
this year. This would result In cutting
Sown Germany's sugar yield by more than
450,000 tons
Of course, the prospective shortage in
beet sugar production will be somewhat
offset bv the falling off In sugar consump
tion Incident to the financial stringency of
the world, caused by the war. Great Rrit
: »ln annually buying nearly 4.000.000 tons
Of sugar, probably will cut down Its con
i' lumptton as much as Germany will cut
lown Its production. _ _

BY DR. W. A. EVANS.
This condition Is brought about by
the hypodermic Injection of morphine
and hyoscin. Ordinarily the method Is
called by physicians the morphln-sco
polamlne method. Scopolamine and hy
oscin commercially are the same sub
stance.
The commonly employed method is
to Inject one-sixth of a grain of mor
phine and l,2t0th of a grain of scopola
mine. There Is nothing out of the or
dinary In the Injection of one-sixth of
a grain of manhlne. Commonly, mor
phine Is combined with atropine In a
hypodermic injection, the dose of the
one being one-fourth of R grain and of
the latter 1-150 of a grain.
Atropine and hyoscin are related.
Atropine Is derived from the belladon
na plant and the very similar drug,
hyoscin, comes from henbane. Though
the plants belong to the same family,
and though the drugs are chemically
almost the same, the effects of the
drugs differ somewhat. Especially is
this true when the drugs are combined
with morphine.
Morphine apd hyoscin have an effect
markedly different from that of mor
phine and atropine. Many people have
taken one or more doses of morphine
and hyoscin. While net a frequent com
bination, it Is not a rarely used one.
Nearly every drinking man subject to
the “monkeys” has been sobered up on
morphine and hyoscin.
Then, a good many thousands of peo
ple have taken the so-called twilight
sleep without knowing It. Many addi
tional thousands have seen these peo
ple when they have been quieted with
morphlne-hyoscln. This makes it easier
for the average man or woman to es
timate It, to form an opinion concern
ing It. It la not ns if something was
to bo Judged which had come entirely
unknown from far away Freiberg.
To produce the twilight sleep In a
woman during childbirth the physician
gives a hypodermic Injection consisting
of one-sixth of a grain of morphine and
1-150 of a grain of hyoscin hydrobro
mlde, also called scopolamine hydro
bromide. Ten minutes after the Injec
tion the effects begin. They last for
about eight hours.

1-8 and 1-130, respectively. Of course
there Is a fairly heavy death rate
among babies 1 day old and less. Where
the care given Is very skillful the rate
Is low. The women now using twilight
sleep are being cared for In high grade
hospitals. The death rate Is very low
among babies born In Buch hospitals.
The authorities are generally agreed
that the baby's chance of living where
twilight sleep has been used Is not
the average chance prevailing fn that
and similarly well equipped hospitals.
The prospective mother. In coming to
a conclusion, must figure that her baby
will run an extra risk. When the
method of twilight sleep was exploited
to the public a few years ago there
wore pictures of strong, healthy chil
dren who had been born to mothers
under twilight sleep. They were placed
by the side of other children not so
well developed. It was argued that
babies born under twilight sleep started
growing at once, and grew away from
other children like magic.
Those arguments were by ninnies for
ninnies. Taking one dose of morphine
does not make a child grow and keep
him growing for 10 years. Had that
been true the babies brought up In the
old paragorlc days would have grewn
to be 10 feet In height and a ton In
weight. The prospective mother, weigh
ing the advantages of the methed,
should not count on added vigor of the
baby lasting throughout childhood.
There Is a general agreement that
the mother, though she Is better off
mentally, Is not so well of physically
as under other methods. In the first
place, there Is a considerable death rate
among the people who take twilight
sleep.
The method Is not a new one. It was
proposed In 1899 as a method of anes
thesia for surgical operations. It has had
two ebbs and three flows. Its present
use dates back 10 years. In the reports
of literature we find such titles as “A
Report of 650 Cases,” “A Report of 2,
000 Cases,” “A Report of 3,080 Cases.”
Wood reported 2,000 cases with nine
deaths, a death rate of one in 221. Reth
gave the death rate as one In 250.
It Is not possible to say with any de
gree of accuracy what the death rate
would have been had these same people
been cared for under the same circum
stances except that chloroform had
been used In place of morphlne-hyos
cln. Nevertheless, the writers on the
subject advise that the twilight sleep
method should not be used unless the
mother Is being cared for In a hospital
well equipped with nurses and Internes.
This opinion Is founded on the opin
ion that accidents are more prone to
occur than In ordinary labors, and that
emergencies are of a nature which can
be successfully overcome provided they
are promptly recognized and adequate
ly met. Therefore, the woman trying
to decide should take Into considera
tion Borne ndded danger to herself,
which danger she can materially lessen
by going to a hospital.
the dose. In that event it is customary
to give a smaller dose. This can be
repeated several times.
Most authorities advise that where It
Is anticipated that a prolonged effect
will be required the doses be made
smaller and be repeated as required.
Within a few minutes after the dose
Is taken a sensation of dryness Is felt
In the mouth. The mental agitation
subsides. The nose itches. The face
becomes red. In fact, the features ap
pear turgid and a little swollen. There
may be a mild delirium. The patient
Is disposed to talk Incoherently. The
patient will start to say something,
and In the middle of a sentence will
switch to another thought. Each
thought Is sensible and proper.
The abnormality consists In the tend
ency of the mind to hop from one to
another. Or a sentence will be started,
and in It there will be Inserted a word
In no wny related to the balance of
the sentence. Presently It will appear
that the word used had reference to
some other though In the patient’s
mind. The fault did not lie In a sense
less jumble of words In the patient's
mind. Tne words were good, the Ideas
were good; the Jumbling was In the
wny they were hooked out. Sleep Is
Intermittent: walking Is easy; falling
back to sleep Is easy.
Perhaps the most striking quality of
this condition Is calm. All agitation
Is gone. There Is no fright.
There Is ho worry, no anxiety,
no agitation. There Is Indiffer
ence to everything. The speech Is
calm, slow, quiet.
All writers on twilight sleep empha
size this condition of mental calm as
the overshadowing effect of the drug.
Hewitt In his bock on anaesthesia
writes of "The contented somnolent
sleep.” He says that the method Is
especially applicable “to highly ner
vous, apprehensive, sensitive subjects
who are terrorized.” Wood says of
hyoscin that It Is especially valuable
In those cases of Insomnia In which
there is a continued flow of thoughts
through an excited brain.
When presently the use of twilight
sleep in childbirth Is under discussion
reference wiy again be made to these
quotations.
Among the less prominent effects
from this combination noted by observ
ers are dilation of the pupils and slight
depression of the breathing centers.
Since the medicine produces consti
pation Its use should be followed by a
purge. i
Papuan Head Hunters.
From the Wide World.
All the Bamu tribes are head hunt
ers, and the majority cannibals. The
bodies of those slain are generally mu
tilated, and the legs and arms cut off
as well as the heads; the calf of the
tegs and the hands are, I believe, the
two portions most esteemed. One
very powerful tribe In the Bamu, called
Bina, always, It Is said, takes two heads
and two sets of arms and legs for every
man of theirs that has been killed.
Reads, besides being the badge of a
warrior and Items of considerable so
cial significance, play a prominent part
In ceremony and dances. They are al
ways cut off with the bamboo head
knife, a weapon which is used from the
Dutch boundary to the Purarl delta.
This knife Is a half section of bamboo
with a handle; a notch is made at the
head of the blade and a thin silver of
bamboo torn off. leaving a sharp edge.
For each successive head an additional
notch is made and another slice torn
off; consequently, each knife is Its
own recorder. 1 picked up one knife
a few years ago, all red with fresh
blood, that had eight notches In it.
On this game Bamu river trip I saw
my first heads. There had been a
serious massacre at one village, and
when we arrived at the place there
were several headless, legless and arm
less trunks lying about. Some of the
police went out to look for tracks, and
not long after a sergeant came back
swinging a bundle of fresh heads that
the raiders had evidently dropped in
their fight. The sight was not partic
ularly pleasant, but It reminded me of
nothing so much as a string of onions.
Once, when I was on the Upper Klko
river, a long way inland from the head
of the Gulf of Papua, I found that the
natives there did not, apparently, col
lect heads, but hands, which were
smoke dried and then hung round the
neck as ornaments! They were quite
willing to dispose of them at a toma
hawk apiece—I suppose on the princi
ple that hands were easy enough to
get, but tomahawks were scarce.
Fain? are in great measure relieved.
In addition, and this Is the more Im
portant point, the pain Impulse Is pres
ent, but It does not register. The man
at the speaking end of the telephone Is
ringing his bell but the bell at central
is not ringing because it Is not hooked
up, or maybe the bell at central Is
ringing but the girl at the switchboard
is reading a novel and pays no atten
tion to It. Maybe the woman in labor
is suffering pain, but she is tpdifferent
to it while it lasts and after it Is over
she has little recollection of it.
There is enough of a description of
the state of body and mind of a person
under twilight sleep to serve two pur
poses. First, some people who have
taken it will be able to recognise their
experiences. Some of the old monkey
threatened soaks will see that they are
competent from experience to advise
expectant mothers. “There are ser
mons In stones and good in everything.”
In the second place, some women who
now have the matter under considera
tion may be helped to a conclusion.
When the drug is deposited under the
skin It flows at once into blood capill
aries. Through these it gets into the
general blood supply. It is carried to
the brain. The effects noted above are
the result of the action of the drug
on the brain centers.
In thq case of a prospective mother
a proportionate part of the drug passes
from the blood of the mother into the
blood of her baby. The effects on the
mother are duplicated on her baby.
When the baby is born it at once cries
out. This crying out is a protest
against the chill of the air. A baby
born while In the twiltght sleep Is not
disposed to cry out. It is in a state of
somnolent content.
The crying out phenomena Is a good
thing for baby. It cleans out his mouth
and nose. Much more Important, it
expands his lungs. It stimulates the
flow of the blood.
The baby can be otherwise shocked
into crying out or into expanding its
lungs and waking up. Nevertheless, all
In all, the baby who cries out gets a
better start than the other baby.
It has been found that the use of
twilight sleep does hazard tho life of
the baby Most of those who object
to Its use take that position in the n*iln
because of tho Increased death rate
of the babies. Hatcher, who made an
excellent study of the subject, said that
no mother had died where the dose
was less than 1-6 grain of morphine and
1-130 grain of hyosetn. One writer re
ports a death when the dose was 1-8
grain of morphine and 1-100 grain hy
osclti.
The principal death rate recorded Is
among babies. Some of these fail to
survive when the doses are as low as

If there la anything romantic about
the grime and noise of a steel plant.
Gary, Ind., will not lack material for
an absorbing history. Nine years ago,
April 18, officials of the United States
Steep Corporation caused a carload of
cinders to be dumped on the sand
dunes over which has since spread the
city of Gary. It Is this city which has
now voted Itself Into the second class.
In 1912 Its population was 30,000. This
year It counts close up to 60,000. No
one knows but that the next few years
will witness an even greater Increase.
The story of Gary Is essentially that
of the steel trust. Nine years ago the
corporation cast about for a midwest
ern site. It wanted a combination of
rail and water transportation, cheap
land and plenty of room In which to
expand. A place at the southern ex
tremity of Lake Michigan, six miles
east of Indiana harbor and 26 miles
southeast of Chicago, was selected, and
was called Gary, after Judge E. H.
Gary, executive head of the trust.
The city Itself is an example of the
power of wealth to create wealth. The
steel trust, alive only to Its own for
tune. could not prevent—nor did It seek
to prevent—other firms and hundreds
of persons from growing rich. The
opponents of unearned Increment as ap
propriated by fortunate speculators In
land, have been treated to a remark
able spectacle In Gary. Ftom the time
the first load of material was dumped
on the shore of Lake Michigan, Gary
has prospered. It Is a city made to or
der. The steel trust, through Its sub
sidiary, the Indiana Steel company,
needed a convenient city of 190,000
population—a population largely de
voted to the manufacture of steel and
allied products. Gary has not yet
reached the 100,000 mark, but it seems
likely to.
The great steel plants of the corpora
tion attracted other plants, so that now
the sand wastes are covered with yards
and foundries and miles of city streets
have been thrown out Into the open
country._

RELATIONS OF GOD AND MAN
Gradual Readjustment Means a Con
tinual Advance Toward the
Higher Life.
In studying the Bible it becomes in
creasingly apparent that the relations
between God and man are not con
stant or fixed, but are subject to a
gradual readjustment. In the earlier
chapters the ideal held out is for man
to "fear” God Later he learns to
trust, to a limited extent, this higher
life. Eventually this grudging faith
is turned to love, which recognizes God
as the father, constantly giving him
self, as life and wisdom, to his chil
dren. And beyond this comes that
truitlon of growth which constitutes
real unity; man is merged with God,
and comes to realize that “l and the
Father are one.”
God never changes, but our under
standing of him does change. And
it is the evolution of this ideal which
we have of the great sea of life in
which we live, and which lives in
and through us, which constitutes real
growth and advancement. Life is for
that; the everyday tasks tend toward
the bringing forth of self-conscious
ness, which is always a fuller consci
ousness of God.—From the Nautilus.
FEW CAN ESCAPE NOSTALGIA
Homesickness Claims Victims From
All Classes and From Every
Variety of People.
German sailors on steamships which
are held up in New York are said to
have, several of them, gone mad. Idle
ness and homesickness are the causes,
hospital authorities say.
Homesickness finds strange victims.
Army surgeons know that sometimes
it kills. Often it is the man without
a regular home who is most subject
to nostalgia. This disturbance of
soul, mind and body settles down upon
the phlegmatic, the burly, the thick
skinned. It takes them under sunny
skies amid the earth's best loveliness
and they moan for dirty streets where
they played in childhood.
Idleness breeds homesickness and
active diversion cures it. It is akin
to melancholia and comes in myste
rious ways. Probably it arises from
the biological impulse intended to an
chor man in one place long enough
for him to take root. Its opposing in
stinct is the wanderlust.
Explorers have confessed that the
worst homesickness they have known
■was in the first few hours and days
of their return. In familiar surround
ings the marks of time’s inexorable
progress were painfully apparent.
Changes, small and large, tortured
them by reminder of the precious
past. Some have turned in despond
ent revulsion to take up their roam
ings again.

Strange Death Message.
It may have been a strange and
tragic coincidence. Some will believe
there was more in it than that. The
husband of a Paris woman violinist,
himself a musician, left for the front
shortly after mobilization. His name
was Remy. At parting he told his
wife: “If I go under I will try to let
you know directly before the official
news reaches you.” She scarcely
played any music during his absence.
But the other day she took up her vio
lin, feeling impelled to play one piece
which he liked above all. She opened
the case, and two strings of the violin
suddenly snapped, the D and the E.
“Re” and “Mi,” she at once thought.
It was the warning he had said lie
would give her. The next day a tele
gram informed her that her husband.
Sergeant Remy, had been killed in
action.
Fitness tor Reward.
A Sunday school teacher had been
telling her class of little boys about
crowns of glory and heavenly rewards
for good people.
“Now, tell me,” she said, at the close
of the lesson, “who will get the biggest
crown?”
There was silence for a minute or
two, then a bright little chap piped
out:
“Him wot’s got t’ biggest ’ead.”—
Tit-Bits.
Murmur of a Misanthrope.
“Can’t you get the telephone to an

"No,” replied Mr. Growcher. “The
operator is one woman I’d like to
meet. She doesn’t show the slightest
disposition to talk back.”

“No; they don't play none of them

The doctor stood at the bedside of
the sick purchasing agent and said:
“Yes, I’m pretty sure I can cure you.”
“What will you charge?”
"Probably in the neighborhood of
one hundred dollars.”
The buyer rolled over with a groan
and faintly replied: “You’ll have to
shade that price considerably. I have
a much better bid than that from the
undertaker.”—Joseph Feeney, New
York.
Strictly Business.
“Ah, my friend!" said the pedant.
“Going out for a little piscatorial rec
reation?”
"Nope,” answered the person ad
dressed. “I’m goin’ after my break
fast. There ain’t no recreation in that
fur me an’ there certainly ain’t goin’
to be none fur the fish I hope to
ketch."
Exploration.
“What are your plans for the sum
mer?”
“Further exploration, I suppose," an
swered Mr. Muvings. "I’m going to
keep on looking for some place that
carries out the impressions I get from
the pictures of the summer resort post
cards.”

“Yes, that fellow kicks up as much

He Was Heap Careful.
Said a western mining man at the
istor hotel in New York city the other
day, according to the Times: "We have
a bachelor's mess In the mining camp
where I’m located, and we usually
have a Chinaman to do the cooking.
Some of the Orientals are fine cooks,
after they get over a few of the pecu
liar ideas they have imbibed from
their own country’s oddities in the
culinary line.
“Not long ago we got a new China
man as cook. A couple of days later
one of the fellows got a pedigreed
Irish terrier pup given to him—a real
dog. My friend had to go up to one
of the mines that afternoon, and he
turned the puppy over to the new
Chinaman. ‘You be mighty careful
