OLDEST HARM UEIIM
Escaped Terrors of Many Winters by
Using Pe-ru-na.
Isaac Brock, 120 Years of Age.
Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county,
Tex,, is an ardent friend to Peruna and
speaks ol it in the following' terms:
"Dr. Ihirtman's remedy, Peruna, I
have found to le the best, if nottheonly
reliable remedy for COUGHS, COLDS,
CATAUUII and diarrhea.
"Peruna has been my stand-by lot
many yesrs, and I attribute my good
health and my extreme age to this
remedy. It exactly meets all my re
quirements.
"I have come to rely upon it almost
entirely for ihe many little things for
which 1 need medicine. 1 believe it to
be especially valuable to old people."

HAD AWFUL WEEPING ECZEMA.
Face and Neck Were Raw Terrible
Itching, Inflammation and Soreness
All Treatments Failed.
Cuticura Proved a Great Success.
"Eczema began over the top of my
ear. It cracked and then began to
spread. I had three different doctors
and tried several things, but they did
me no good. At last one side of my
face and my neck were raw. The
water ran out of it so that I had to
wear medicated cotton, and it was so
inflamed and sore that I had to put
a piece of cloth over my pillow to keep
the water from it, and it would stain
the cloth a sort of yellow. The ec
zemaitched so that it seemed as though
I could tear uy face all to pieces.
Then I began to use the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, and it was not more
than three months before it was all
healed up. Miss Ann Pearsons, North

Of the minor characters, a dairy maid,
comes, forward at the end of a recital
of a love romance, and comments as
follows:
"Hope filled their youths and whet

But at one of the performances the
girl who played the dairy maid was ab
sent without notice. At the last mo

shepherdess, who had never had lines
to speak before, and who was ex
cessively nervous when her cue came.
This is what the astonished audience
heard:
"Hope filled their trough and

tooth!"
Argument That Won.
Susie had been promised a pair of
new slippers for Sunday. Anxious to
have them at once she bad tried in
every way to persuade her mother to
buy them for her and let her wear
.them to a children's party that was to
be given on Wednesday, but without
success. Finally when both she and
her mother had become tired of the
teasing the little girl said: "Well,
mamma, you needn't get them now;
but maybe I'll be dead, by Sunday and
if I am you'll be sorry for disappoint
ing me." Susie wore the slippers
Wednesday.
NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple.
It doesn't pay to stick too closely to
old notions of things. New ideas often
lead to better health, success and hap
piness. A Wis. couple examined an Idea new
to them and stepped up several rounds
on the health ladder. The husband
writes:
tSeveral years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless,
"nervous, sallow, weak and irritable.
My wife and I both loved coffee and
thought it was a bracer." (delusion.)
"Finally, after years of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
-we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
"When we made it right we liked it
and were relieved of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
fresher skin, steadier 'nerves, better
temper, etc
"These changes were not sudden,
but relief increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
"Many of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on
pkg., until it was dark and rich, they
liked it better than coffee and were
benefited by the change." "There's
a Reason."

filIAfJ OF JO-rllLED TOMR OF BADEL
The mounds which now mark the
site of Babylon lie about eight hours"
distant from Baghdad, upon the left or
eastern bank of the Euphrates, and
they extend for about three miles from
north to south along the course of the
river. The nearest modern town to
the ruins is Hillah, about five miles
to the south; this, too, is on the Eu
phrates, which divides it into quarters,
connected by a bridge of boats. It is
a military post of some importance,
and the photograph gives a view of
the barracks, with the Euphrates in
the foreground. The town is built
mainly from the bricks of ancient
Babylon, which for many centuries
has served as a quarry for building
materials to the whole district Hillah
is famous for its date-palms, and the
houses are nearly hidden in the lux
urious date plantations which fringe
the river banks.
The bare mounds of Babylon form
a striking contrast to the green and
feathery palm tops along the winding
course of the Euphrates. The mounds
break the flat line of the barren
nitrotis plain, and are now pitted and
scored by years of excavation. At
points around them great ridges of
earth branch out, like the heads of
railway embankments under construc
tion. These are the heaps of earth
and debris cleared by the excavators
from the surface of the ancient city,
and dumped clear of the mound, on
virgin soil where possible, so as not to
encumber the area of future work.
Along the tops of some of these ridges
little iron tip-trucks may be seen,
pushed by a couple of Arab workmen
along a light railway to the end of the
shoot; while others at the other end
of the line, and nearer the excavations
in progress, are filled by lines of Arab
basket-carriers who clear away the
soil as the diggers loosen it. For
years this busy work has been in
progress, and the photographs here
published will give the reader some
idea of the results which have been
obtained.
At first sight some of them may not
strike one as very remarkable, and it
certainly requires some imagination to
conjure up from them the glories of
ancient Babylon. But in this connec
tion we may remark that the excava
tors themselves were, for many years,
in a like frame of mind, and for a time
they even doubted whether the stories
of her ancient pomp and luxury might
not have been inventions. On March
26. 1S99. Dr. Koldewey began work on
the mound of the Kasr, or "the
Palace," as the natives term one of
the largest of the city mounds, and
from the very first considerable suc
cess of a sort rewarded his efforts.
Two palaces of Kins Nebuchadnezzar
were uncovered, and a small temple
of the goddess Ninmakh and a larger
temple dedicated to the god Ninib
were thoroughly excavated within a
comparatively short time. The next
important discovery was the site of
the great temple of Bel, or Marduk,
the city god of Babylon, in the mound
Tell Amran, but the ruins of the build
ing were covered by such a huge ac
cumulation of debris that only a cor
ner was laid bare. Then Dr. Koldewey
traced the course of the Sacred road
of E-bylon, which led from the Tem
ple of Bel to the royal palaces. Alon

To Farm Insanity Plant
Deadliest Vegetable Known to Be In
troduced Into Texas.
The deadly marihuana plant is to be
introduced into Texas from Mexico by
special permission of the state agricul
tural department. Ernest Love, who
conducts an "agricultural experimental
station near Cuera, has returned from
a trip to the marihuana producing
region of Mexico, bringing with him
ten pounds of the seed of the plant,
.says a dispatch from Austin to the
New York Herald. The weed is known
as the most harmful of narcotic drugs.
Its leaves, when smoked in the form
of cigarettes, produce a species of in
sanity which frequently ends in hor
rible death. The story is told in
Mexico that Empress Carlotta, the ill
fated wife of Maximilian, had her
mind dethroned by drinking coffee in
which marihuana leaves had been
placed. She left Mexico an incurable
lunatic at the time of the overthrow
cf the French in that country and has
never regained her faculties.

Year, the statue of the city god was
borne in solemn procession to the
palace, where the king did homage,
grasping the hands of the god in
token of his fealty. At the beginning
of a reign this act was equivalent to
a coronation ceremony, and whenever
the king was in Babylon at the New
Year's festival he renewed his alle
giance in this fashion to the national
god.
It was. surely, no mean achievement
to lay bare once more to the sunlight
this ancient holy way, the worn blocks
of which had been trodden by the feet
of priests and kings. To pace the
courts of Nebuchadnezzar's palace,
and to gaze upon the very spot where
he had sat upon his throne dispensing
justice or directing his affairs of state,
was certainly some return for the la
bor of years. But, for all that, Dr.
Koldewey and his assistants were dis
satisfied. For up till then scarcely a
fragment of sculpture had been dis
covered, and no object of grpat artistic
or archaeological value. All that met
the excavators' gaze -were bricks,
burnt and unburnt, spread in bitumen
as pavements or piled up in massive
walls and terraces. The massive
fortress wall on the east side of Nebu
chadnezzar's southern palace is older
than the palace, and was filled in by
Nebuchadnezzar (as may be seen In
the photograph) when he raised the
height of the platform on which the
palace is built. The very temple walls,
which were found standing and in
place, were bare; they were lined with
no rich carvings or painted tiles, but
were covered with a thin lime wash
like any modern Turkish serai. It is
easy to imagine that the spoilers of
the city would have stripped her pal
aces and shrines of all treasures and
portable objects of value but they
would not have scraped the walls. Dr.
Koldewey was inclined to regard the
story of Babylon's former splendor as
another bubble that had been pricked.
But in this he was wrong. For short
ly afterwards, when he had trans
ferred his main body of men from Tell
Amran again to the Kasr, he discov
ered the great Gate of Ishtar, which
has fully made up for the want of
decoration upon the buildings found
up to that time. Ishtar, the goddess
of love and war, was the most favored
lady in the Babylonian pantheon, and
the gateway which Nebuchadnezzar
erected in her honor was a worthy
tribute to her greatness. It Is a dou
ble gateway, with interior chambers,
flanked by massive towers, and was
erected at the end of the Sacred road
at the northeast corner of the south
ern paiee. But its unique character
consists in the scheme of decoration
on its walls, which are covered with
row upon row of bulls and dragons
represented in brilliant enameled
bricks. Some of these creatures are
flat, others are raised in relief, and
the effect of these processions of mon
sters, even in the present ruined con
dition of the structure, is remarkable.

Knit Stockings by Electricity.
From the gigantic task of hauling
freight and passenger trains over the
electrified branch of the Canadian Pa
cific the Aroostook falls, in Maine, per
forms such little chores as knitting
stockings. The falls have recently
been harnessed to drive electric gen
erators which supply current to the
railroad and to the knitting mills of
the vicinity. An electrically operated
machine will knit a stocking in less
than two minutes.
Plans Large Y. M. C. A. Hotel.
L. Wilbur Messer, general secretary
of the Young Men's Christian associa
tion in Chicago, has started a project
for the erection near the heart of the
city of a hotel to accommodate 1,000
men, to be run on the plan of the
Mills hotels in New York. He thinks
that $500,000 will be enough to finance
the project.
So terrible are the effects of mari
huana that a law was passed by the
Mexican congress making it a peni
tentiary offense for a person to use
the plant in any form. It is said that
it is so seductive in its effects that to
smoke one cigarette made of it will
addict one to its use. Notwithstand
ing the stringent Mexican law, it is a
common practice for cigarettes made
of it to be smuggled to the soldiers in
the barracks, producing more than one
dangerous rio.
Love believes that the plant can be
put to good commercial use as a drug.
He says it is a cure of asthma and is
also thought to be valuable in the
treatment of tuberculosis. It is far
more powerful than India hemp, of
which' it is a species, he says. India
hemp is recognized in the materia
medica as a valuable drug.

She is now the wife of Prince Alfred

It would be almost an utter impos

other head of that great committee to
carry in his mind the vast details of
the appropriation bills which St brings
into the house, carrying amounts vary

to know about some item in every

wants to know about a good many of
them. Chairman Tawney can answer
offhand as many questions as any
other chairman who ever stood in his
shoes, but it is Courts who, when he
sits down, is almost hidden by the

HERBERT LIVINGSTON SATTER
LEE, son of the late Bishop Sat
terlee and son-in-law of J. Pierpont
Morgan, recently appointed to suc
ceed T. H. Newberry as assistant sec
retary of the navy, was one of the
board of visitors at the Naval acad
emy last June and entered into his
duties with a zest and interest that
was particularly pleasing to the acad
emy staff. He insisted upon seeing
everything there was to be seen, ate
in the mess hall, went out in the
launches and watched the drills. At
last he decided that he must slep in a
midshipman's bed; so he was assigned
to a room on one of the decks.
Now at the very time the board of
visitors was at the academy the West
Point-Annapolis baseball game was on
and the West Point team were to be'
given a rousing send-off when they
took their departure, which was fixed
for. very early in the morning of the
night that Mr. Satterlee played at be
ing a midshipman and slept in Ban
croft, or "Bankrupt," hall as the mid
dies facetiously call it, apropos of
their cronic penniless state. "All out"
was called promptly and those who
did not turn out quickly enough to
suit the middy officers were uncere
moniously dumped out on the floor,
mattress and all. The officer of one of
the decks rushing hurriedly around
at the last moment to see that all had
obeyed his summons came to a room
whose occupant had not stirred, but
with his head buried in the pillow was
soundly sleeping. "Here, you, get up."

Since the dismantling of the German
embassy by the Baroness von Stern
burg, who recently sailed for Europe
with her mother to spend the rest of
the winter on the Riviera, the house
has been placed in the hands of dec

sador and his family have been obliged
to live at one of the hotels. Tly em
bassy is expected to be ready for oc
cupancy in April.
The Countess von Bernstorff and her
daughter wish to know all about the
city in which they live, and they are
seen frequently on pleasant mornings,
guidebook in hand, learning about
historic houses and places. They have
strayed already outside the foreign and
official circles to meet people of inter
est, and It is confidently expected that
the German embassy will be thorough
ly cosmopolitan and democratic during
the present incumbent's regime.
When congress recently voted $800,
000 for the relief of the Italian earth
quake victims, an unusual scene was
enacted in the house. A misunder
standing had arisen between the presi
dent and congress as to the amount of
the relief and the bill prepared by the
house committee on appropriations
did not fit with the president's mes
sage by $300,000. Courts was sum
moned by a general alarm and re
sponded readily, pen in hand. A con
ference was held at the speaker's ta
ble lasting about two minutes, and
those two minutes brought $300,000
more relief to the sufferers of Italy.
Courts and his pen fixed the bill and
Courts later rushed the bill to the en
grossing committee and had it in the
senate in record time.
When congratulated by members
and civilians alike later, Courts mere
ly smiled. When, however, some one
ventured to suggest that it 'was an in-
k spiring sight to see congress act so
generously and so quickly, Courts re
plied: "I once knew a congressman
who made a speech in Faneuii hall,
Boston, and bragged about the passage
of a pension bill carrying over $100,
000,000 in forty minutes. Finally he
swelled up in his patriotism and ex
claimed: 'Can you beat that?' some
body in the back row replied: 'Lord, I
hope not.' There is such a thing as
being too quick on the trigger."
called out Mr. Midshipman, and meet
ing with no response, said, "Oh, you
wont, won't you?" With that he
rushed toward the bed and taking
hold of the mattress was about to
jerk it down on the floor, when a
sleepy voice said, "What's the mat
ter?" and a sleepy face, wearing a full
beard, emerged from the bed clothes.
It was Mr. Satterlee of the honorable
board of visitors who had been so un
ceremoniously aroused, and when this
fact dawned upon the brain of the en
terprising midshipman he beat a
hasty retreat.

GAVE HER DADDY AWAY.
Lrttl One's Innocent Remark That
Left the Deacon Gasping.
Every Sunday some one threw si
button into the contribution box of the
little church. The annoyed pastor
confided to his wife that he suspected
the button thrower to be stingy old
Deacon G., who had so strongly op
posed his "call" to the pastorate, but
that he dare not accuse him of It for
lack of evidence.
At a 'church "sociable" that week
some one suggested the playing of
games. Deacon G. had just partaken
of oyster soup at some one else's ex
pense and felt warmed and" expansive.
"Why not play 'Button, button
who's got the button?' he' inquired of
waiting children. N
"Oh, yes!" exclaimed his youngest
daughter with enthusiasm. "And you
lend us the button, papa!" Then she
drew back, timorously. "Unless you
want to-save it for next Sunday's con
tribution," she added, considerately.

Sheer white goods, In fact, any AM
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way thef
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beas
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at tha
improved appearance of your work.
Was a Lucky Day for England.
Admiral Nelson was the recipient of
favoritism in the matter of his ap
pointment to the British naval serv
ice. Nelson's father could not have af
forded to send bis son to Osborne.
"But if he had been Nelson would
have been rejected as physically on
fit," says a writer. "Nelson was
shoveled into the navy under a bit of
jobbery and pushed on by backdoor
influence."
Noted Woman Press Agent.
Mrs. Charles Neave is the latest
English woman of birth and education
to go into business. She has become a
press agent, and it is said by her
friends that some of the best singers
at Covent Garden, London, are large
ly indebted to her for their success
this season. Mrs. Neave is the daugh
ter of a man of title and the widow of
an army officer.
The extraordinary popularity of fin
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great im
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to nse on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen
er makes half the usual quantity 0
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
