For years officers of the ariny, hoth in the dHcharge of their duties and outside, have behaved In a very ar rogant way toward the civil popula tion.

There have been many instances in Germany wnrrc officers, having a -light dispute with civilians, have instantly cut the civilian down. InstaiK'OM of this kind iiud the harsh I real men t of the Germans by ing in the, army, undoubtedly created in Germany a spirit of antagonism not only to the army itself, but to the whole military system of Prussia.

LONG WEDdlNGS IN PERSIA Ceremonies, Continuing Several Day*, Among Most Curious and Elabo rate In the World. The marriage ceremonies which hoi emnise u wedding among the Moham medan* of Persia are among the most curious find plnboTntc vJn the world. Any American bridegroom, who dis likes what men nre wont to describe as the "funs and bother" of a formal wedding Hhould regard the ease of his Persian brother and take heart. The Persian ceremony may take from sn?< to two weeks for 11h comple tlon. Often the betrothal Ik a matter of many years' standing, having b?k?u arranged by the parents when the prin cipals were still young children. When the time for the marriage arrives the guests are summoned by l^rt'.lds, who go about the neighboring villages, bearing gtfts of apples, cloves and roses to accompany the Invitations, When some powerful personage Is to be Invited, the father of the bride groom does not send a herald, but goes himself, bearing tin rich a present as be can afford to give. Before the wedding there Is also a curious little business arrangement eu tered Into. This Is the matter of "kaben," or th# price of divorce. A sum Is agreed upou In advance by the payment of which the future husband can put aside his wife at any tliue. When It is desired to make the divorce ifhllcult, the kaben Is set at some Im possible sum or oommodlty. The hus band may be required to give the bride a hundredweight of mosquito wings, or one of his arms or legs, be fore he cau divorce her, a condition which generally makeB the marriage a permanent afTair. The actual wedding festivities ex tend over days. The guests are given rooms in the house and served with rich foods and sweetmeats. Musicians ayd dancing girls are hired to enter tain them, and if the families of the bride and groom are rich the favorite sport of the Persians may be staged by a pair of professional wrestlers. After the celebration has lasted three or four days the bride rides heavily veiled to her new home on horseback. Sho Is followed by porters bearing her dowry on their backs. The wedding celebration then continues for several days longer. The Russian Peasants. The taking over of some of the czar's landed possessions recalls the fact that Albert J. Beveridge, in his book, "The Russian Advance," pub lished a few years ago and in which he gathered political, social and economic facts, states that even then the Rus sian peasant was looking forward "to a second emancipation, giving them new additions of land absolutely and without any cost whatever to them selves." When the peusant ceased to be a slave he did not comprehend that he was still not free to use his mas -Lur-H tools or ^to?cu^from the Innd owners's forests timber for his use. "The most curious situations," says Mr. Beveridge, "are even yet arising, growing out of this Inability of the peasant to comprehend the obligation as well as the benefits of his emanci pation. Liberties are taken by the Rtfftsian peasant with the property of a Russian proprietor which would not be tolerated for an instant by an American in the same situation. In nil of this there is not the slightest impertinence, not the least Intention to wrong the landed proprietor, nor the faintest conception on the part of the peasant that there is anything immoral in what he does. He or his fathers did the like before, and he just con tinues to do the same as a matter of course." New Medical MarveL Of all the remarkable medical in novations, probably the most marvel ous is a new antiseptic solution per fected after ten years' work by Dr. Wilfred Fralick of New York; Dr. Os car Eckstein of the University of Ber lin, and Dr. A. C. Allen of the Univer sity of Chicago. It is superior to the famous Carrel Dakin solution because, in addition to everything that preparation can do, it can be \ised on the brain and in the abdominal cavity and can be injected directly Into fhe blood without dan ger. The last named quality makes It of startling significance in the treatment of blood poisoning. While to put the Carrel-Dakln solu tion into the veins of a patient would mean certain death, the new prepara tion, a chlorinated solution of per manganate of potash, can be run dl Vectly into the blood stream without disturbing anything there except the evil elements meant to be attacked. The Qrouches. Two men sat glaring an<f glowering at each other In a provincial Y. M. C. A. "Who are the two grouches?" a salesman asked. "One Is our hotel proprietor," a na tive answered, "and the other is the editor of the local paper*" "What's got their goat?" "Well," said the native, "It seems that at our school treat last evening the magician asked for the loan of a handkerchief, and somebody handed him up a big square of muslin. "The magiciun unfolded the square and said : " 'Thank goodness there's at least one clean sheet in this town.'" And ever since then the editor has insisted that the magician was allud ing to the hotel bedclothes, and the hotel man has insisted that it was the editor's pa{?er was being knocked.? Washington 8tar. Every pound goes much farther A POUND of old ?tyle hulls con tains about y. pound of real roughage and about ]/+ pound of lmt. After being eaten, tne old stvi? hulls swell to twice the weight, or V/* pounds." a jumiut ol . I . QUCKtYF ?OTTONSECD W V HULLS \ UNTLKII also doubles after being eaten but as they are 100 per cent roughage, the original pound becomos 2 pounds? not pounds. Therefore, a pound of Buckeye Hulls goes a third again as far as a pound of old style hulls. In other words, you only have to feed ^ pound of Buckeye Hulls to give the same .food value as a full pound of old style hulls. ? ? Other Advantages Buckeye Hulls cost much less per No trash or dust. ton than old style hulls. Sacked?easy to handle. Buckeye Hulls allow better as- They mix well with other forage, simulation of other food. i They take less space in the bam. Mr. Ban Faulk, Do than, Ala., prefers Buckeye Hulls to old style hulls because cows like them as well, they at* cheaper, they agree with the cows, and they go farther, ona tack lasting as long as two sacks of the old style. I To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the huUt thoroughly twelve houre before feeding. It is easy to Ho thu t>j wetting then down night and mOrnine for the next feeding. If at anj time this cannot bo done, wet down it least thirty minutes. If you prefer U feed the hulls dry, use only half is much by bulk m of old style hulls.
