OPPRESSED ESTHON IA Little Ealtic Suffered Much From Misrule of Others. World attention has been focused so closely upon storm centers of Central and Southern Europe t hat j {Comparatively little has been heard of the new nations carved from .Russia along' the Baltic Sea, says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geo- j graphic Society. I But with the gradual resumption of commerce between Russian and I + vuswirl I^q) hnnin nnd VI 1V^ UUVOIVIV ft VI IV* via will assume a more important aspect, either as barriers or gateways to interior Russia. Much, too, has been written of "the oppressions of other subject peoples. The Esthonians might well claim to be the peers of any national sufferers since medieval times because they have been sore beset both by Germans and Russians. From the eighties of the last century until the World War period Esthonia bore the double yoke of Tsarist laws administered by German officials. As one writer exclaims, "Heaven preserve us from Jiussian law as interpreted by Germans. The Russian official may not tal<e a Russian law very seriously, but one can be sure that the German officials will." One must go far back into Esthonian history to trace the origin of this duplicate despotism. And to the student of human geography the emergence to a sudden independence of a people so long submerged Avill make an experiment worth -watching. The Esths are an aboriginal people of northern Europe who once terrorized the Baltic by piracy, and later clashed often with Swedes a? Danes. "Tradition has it that the oldest flag of Europe, that of Denmark, dates from 1219 when the Danish "Waldemar II, who may he likened, to Alfred the Great, was Conducting' a campaign to subdue Esthonia. A I great silver cross appeared against! a fiery background in the Heavens'! as an omen of success. This same! "Waldemar, in the same year, founded the town of Reval, now capital amd seaport of Esthonia. Few nations can show so consistent a record of conquest under the guise of conversion as the Esther? ians. The Danes came to baptize them al the point of the sword; .then entered the Knights of the sword, coming in the role of Crusaders and remaining for some six centuries as overlords. During the long era of German ascendancy the country became thoroughly protestant "Within the past half century the Russians undertook strenuous methods to gather the Esths into the fold of their Orthodox church. Long e\pe rience taught these neople the wisdom of accepting "conversion" arid then returning to their fold. But when they tried this expedient after the visits of Russian priestthey found it a civil crime to withdraw from the Russian church after having entered it. Moreover for a Protestant clergyman to marry a man or woman who belonged to the Russian church was punishable by im prison ment. The rugged endurance of thi? TAcvnnem people, their vitality an< spirit, is sufficiently shown by theii Wearing up under oppression that wa both religious and political, an< f>*om t>he political standpoint botl Prussian and Russian. Perhaps the! WoTiROlic descent helps account fo that. Before the World War Estboni was accounted one of tho mo"1 pr" v^essive regions, agriculturally. i Russia.

Esthonia recognized by many European governments comprises more than the X>ld Russian Esthonia. part of Lffl^nia is included in the new state,' while the southern part of Livonia, along with Courland, goe* to make up Latvia. The Esthonian.M and the Letts have less in common than one might expect of two neighbor peoples who have suffered for centuries the same slings of outrageous national fortune. Keval, busy seaport city, betray* its German influence, and has been described by some visitors as akin to a medieval German town. It has had a commanding position in commerce since it was one of the 85 city members of the first giant trust, the Hanseatic League. But it has Russian half marks, notably the Tower of St. Olaf, one of the tallest in Russia, which would even top the Times building in New ' York. Dorpat is the Cembridge of Es- ( ! thonia?;perhaps the Heidelberg of ( Esthonia would be the better ap- , pellation, since Dorpat was a seat 1 of German influence. The Unversity of Dorpat was founded by Gusta- ^ vus Adolphus twelve years after the , Pilgrims sot foot on Plymouth Rock j land more than a century before the , i next oldest university in prewar i' | Russia, that at Moscow. ( REAL BLUE SUNDAYS 1 I Old Timers Know Meaning of Strict Laws. , "No one shall kiss his or her chil- I dren on the Sabbath or feasting ' days." "No one shall personally t cook meals, make beds, sweep house, cut hair or shave on the Sabbatti Day." "No one shall cross a river < on the Sabbath but an authorized ' clergyman," "No food or lodging- ! shall be offered to heretics. ] The present national commotion : resulting from the reformer's at- i tempt to take the sun out of Sun- < day brings to mind a previous at- 1 tempt some two centuries ago, says < the New York Times. These Con- s necticut blue laws are far famed; ' I but they were by no means limited s to the colony noted for its wooden 1 nutmegs and Ichabod Cranes. ( I Down in that land, Virginia, i where the Colonists consumed so c much mint julep that to this day 1 the mint grows otit of the graves of t Jamestown, the rules were just as 1 strict. In lf>82 a woman was indicted for selling corn on Sunday! i Indeed, the very first General As- i sembly in the Old Dominion passed ( a law requiring every citizen to at- * tend church on the Sabbath, and if a f freeman disobeyed he was compell t ed to pay three shillings, and if a 1 slave, he was flogged! And going to f church, mind you, meant in those > days going to a particular kind of i church. For in 1632 the Virginia 1 Assembly passed a law punishing all i dissenters from the Church of Eng- t land, in 1G62 passed an act banish- i ing all who refused to have their t children baptized in that church, in t 1741 issued a law making life un- c comfortable for Presbyterians and in N 174G, created further statute., aimed ^ at Moravians and Methodists. Verily, c those were the days of the real blue Sundays. 1 But who has ever suppressed a Yankee in anything?even in keep- * ing or in breaking the Sabbath? In ) those days religion entered into 1 every phase of life?one's food,|( sleep, recreation, work, dress. Those 1 grave old churchmen of Massach'? setts and Connecticut passed stern 1 regulations about one's cuffs, ruf- 1 fles, ribbons and bands. There should be, for instance, no "short : (sleeves whereby the nakedness of ' the arms may be discovered," but |on the other hand on sleeves must I be more than "half an oil long'.'' It 1 I was a nerve racking time for tailor* I and dressmakers. i j If you did not go to church you woo simply "beyond the pale." "No j ! one," declared the old laws, "shall ' be a freeman or have a vote unless J j he is converted and a member of i the churche.- allowed in the Do- i j minion," and, moreover, if you failed] to attend divine services the town j watchman saw to it that time hung heavy on your hands. No one wa,-, allowed to leave town on the Sabbath; no one- must come to town except for church attendance. No work was permitted on farm, in shop, or on ship. A boat could not lie use<i. except when absolutely necessary in j getting people to "meeting-houses." Using a horse, or a wagon was unlawful if the church were within reasonable distance, and "reasonable" . was in this case a most expansive i word. t Then, too, the odor of cooking ? food on the Sabbath was an abom. ination, while to smoke or chew tobacco near a meeting house on Sunday meant a seat in the stocks \ instead of a church pew! Indeed, this use of "sotweed," as tobacco was called, was a most sinful habit , on any day. "None under 21 years, i nor any previous accustomed to it, shall take tobacco without a physijcian's certificate. No one shall use jit publicly in the street or the field4 or the woods, except on a journey o1 a at least 10 miles, or at dinner. Noi shall anyone take it in any house Ii n his own town with more than on< r person taking it at the same time.' V What chance for an American to bacco trust in those cruel days! l" Nor did one dare for a long tim? to make mince pies or play an; musical instrument, "except ; drum, a trumpet or a jew's-harp! ,*f- Luckily, the early New Englander n were not musically inclined. Car \r> playing was absolutely forbidden who ever brought cards into Ih t Dominion was fined 5 pounds! An '> as for dancing?the thought wa unbearable. Says old Judge Sewa! iv in his famous seventeenth centur u- diary; "After the ministers of thl 0 he HORRY rfnRAI?D, OONws town (Boston) come to the . court and complain against a dancing master who seeks to set up here and hath mixt dances, and his time t)f meeting is Lecture Day (Thursday), and 'tis reported he should say that by one play he could teach more divinity than Mr. "Williard (the pastor) or the Old Testament." A little later Sewall joyfully records that dancing master has fled town be :ause of debt?"several warrants out Tor him." But why expect to dance when the laws declared that no one should run on the Sabbath or walk in his garden or elsewhere "except reverently to and frpm meeting. divinIngrod superstition Thp iflPH of J1 "ilivinini* *#wl?? ?> ? V* I I I ^ 1 uu wi some other instrument that may be used as a means of finding buried treasure, mineral deposits, and underground oil or water is a superstition that continues with marvelous persistence in spite of the lack of tangible results from its employment. It may be said without qualification or exception that no rod or instrument has vet been developed to find buried treasures, nor any instrument that will indicate the presence of gold, silver, copper, zinc, or other nn magnetic metals, or their rues, that are hidden from view unthe ground. Iron, nickel, and some minerals, that contain these metals arc magnetic, and the dip-needle or mariner's compass has been adapted to use in prospecting for these metals. Such an instrument can be purchased, but special training is required to enable anyone to use it successfully. A volume published by the United States Geological Survey, department of the interior, entitled 'Mineral Resources of the United States, calendar year 1911," Part 1, pages 144 to 154, contains a discussion of methods of prospecting for iron ore by magnetic surveys and by Irills. Although the use of the dip needle is required to make accurate observations with it, and after those ire made they must be interpreted i U - r " jv tnu cunsiuerauon ot many i actors, so that the unskilled user is likely ;o he disappointed in his results. The edition of the volume above mentioned available for free distribution is now )ut of stock at the Geological Survey, lut a copy may be purchased from he superintendent of documents, Washington, D. C., for 90 cents. Gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc ire not magnetic, and no instrument io\v in use will indicate the presence )f these metals or their ores if they ire hidden from view within the ground. Devices that are supposed o indicate the presence of concealed lonmagnetic ore are usually offered 'or sale either through ignorance or vith intent to defraud. Some honest ittempts have been made to prospect 'or nonmagnetic ores by measuring n different direction the capactiv of he ground to conduct an electric current, the idea being that ground conainMig metai'ic Material will conduct he current beitei than that whit li onttiins none. These attempts, as veil as trials with other -electrical deices. however, have not been sue- | :essfu!. and the various forms of such ipnaratus could not be used by one mfamiliar with electrical work. Some measurements of the elecrical potential of metallic minerals ,veie made several years airo in the aberatorv of :he United States Geological Survey by R. C. Wells, and .ho results were published in the Survey's Bulletin 548, entitled "Electric activity in ore deposits," which may be had for 10 cents from the Superintendent of Documents. The result^ obtained by Mr. Wells, however, do not all ord an adequate basis for anv method rf electrical prospecting, and it is still doubtful whether eloc trical methods of prospecting for nonmagnetic o'Ts will ever bo useful, although they may have limited application in searching for certain kinds of '.res. Most deposits of the nrecious and semiprecious metals and their ores are discovered by those who, by experience, h:?vo become familiar with the kinds of rock in which the ore? are found and who use the ordinary methods of prospecting.

Could you ask for more convincing testimony? Mrs. Burroughs gave the following statement January 5, 1910: "Doan's Kidney Pills have proved a very reliable remedy in my case. I suffered a great deal from dull, nag ging backaches and other symptoms of kidney complaint. Finally I got Doan's Kidney Pills and they relieved me of the backache, corrected the kidney action and benefitted me generally." On January 31, 1918, Mrs. Bur: roughs said : "I take pleasure in again recommending Doan's Kidney Pills. Anyone who wishes to know the merit of Doan's should ask me about them.
