More than 2,000,000 •refugees from Poland and Western Russia have poured into the interior, furnishing the Government "with an enormous problem in its efforts to care for them. Three-quarters •of these fugitives are aged men, women and children un- able to support themselves by work, and they must be supported by char- ity. • Most of the refugees from the war districts carried with them into the interior only such clothing as they could wear and food for a few days' use. . Tens of thousands are already on the verge of starvation, though the Russian Government " and every charitable organization in the country are doing their utmost to extend suc- cor. The Czarina and the Royal. Prin- cesses have sent large contributions to various towns to be, expended for the sufferers. This will serve only as a temporary relief, however. The Government recognizes that caring for the refugees is not a matter of weeks, but of months—possibly of years. Evek' if the war were to end to- morrow thetask of caring for the refugees would not be removed. In tts retreat before the Germans the Russian army has laid waste the en- tire country through which its, pur- suers must' pass. Whole towns have been destroyed with dynamite when there has not been time to accomplish the same work with the torch. USE DAGGER, NOT BAYONET. Corsicans in Italian Army Throw Away Rifles in. Charges. The Italian troops fighting on the [sonzo comprise several regiments from the south of Italy and Sardinia and some soldiers from Corsica, who, when it comes to hand-to-hand fight- ing, throw away their rifles and use their daggers and stilettos. The Italian officers have frequently told these troops that a bayonet at the end of a rifle is of far more utility than a dagger, but the advice is use- less. Perhaps it is instinct and cus- tom. When the troops from southern Italy entet the trenches .of the Aus- trians they use the knife and not the bayonet. Aspen -leaves were , once considered a great remedy for ague. INtis Constantly Troubled Viiih • Boils. HAD MU ON HIS ARMS AT ONCE. unlock Blood Bitters CURED ;Wel. Boils are caused by bad blood, and unless the blood is made pure you cannot expect to get rid of them. Ointments and salves will do you no good. You must get at the seat of the trouble by •usinga good internal blood -purifying medicine such as that grand old remedy Burdock Blood Bitters. Mr„ a'rnuel Buckler, 'I`atamagatrche, writes; "Last summer I was Constantly troubled with boils. 1 had 'eine on my arras at once.

French war horses will soon all be painted a color called here "horizon blue," which is found to render them as inconspicuous as possible at a dis- tance. Stained with a new tint, horses will merge into the landscape in a remarkable manner. The problem of making the horses invisible, or nearly so, was solved by Dr. Lepinay,, of the Society of Com- parative Pathology, to which the French War Department had appeal- ed. Permanganate of potash was tried by the War Department' to color horses, but it proved unsatisfactory because it was irritating to the ani- mal and was of little use unless ap- plied to the horse before he shed his hair. Dr. Roeland, a recognized authority, devised the use of picric acid for giv- ing horses a khaki color. The acid, an excellent antiseptic, especially ser- viceable for burns, has proved to be without irritating effect on the horse, It has been suggested, however, that the aim should be to approxim- ate the horse's color as closely as possible to that of the soldier's uni- form. All unprepared for the war, they had been obliged to send their men into the field in highly conspicuous colors—dark blue, tunics and red caps and trousers. The garb of the French troops is now of a "horizon blue," an attrac- tive shade at close view and as 'near- ly as possible invisible at a distance. The question then was how to give this "horizon blue" tint to the horses. a lr. Lepinay gets the color by mix- ing methylene blue in a special way with tannin. Experiments show that. itneither is toxic nor irritating to the horse. Care must be taken in applying it to raise the hairs and work it into the grain.

Lesson 7CIIX. Obedience and King -- ship --Review. Golden Test: #,Psalrir 21. 1. We have been studying this quarter about men who showed strength or weakness in obeying or disobeying God's laws, The :first ' Young man, named Absalom) had every reason to be strong, but became weak and help- less and finally met a miserable death because he broke one of God's laws by disobeyingthe eammands of his own father. If he had obeyed God's word (Eph, 6. 1), he would have been strong in the hour of trial. The next young man started out in life strong in body, mind and spirit. His father, Devid, gave him such good advice when he was anointed king that he could not but be strong if he followed it (1 Cbron. 28, 9). One of the first things Solomon did was to make such a wise choice . that his: strength was greatly increased. He found the very source of strength and drew upon it for many years (Pray,. 9. 10). He wan chosen to build a great and splendid temple to the Lord, a place which should be a strength and tower to the nations. A beautiful queen, hearing of Solo- mon's glory, came to visit him to find out if all she had heard was true. She found his glory greater than she had dreamed, and she learned that it was God who had given him all this glory and wisdom (Prov. 8. 11)» Solomon's son, Rehoboam, lost his I strength by thinking more of himself than he did of the people over whom he ruled. His people were divided and lie was weakened. It was something in his heart that made him fail in his day of opportunity (Prov. 16, 18). When the kingdom was divided, the larger share of it fell to Jeroboam, who was not of the royal family.. Jeroboam lost his power by doing a wrong thing 3n his effort to keep the people loyal to him. He disobeyed one of God's commandments when he did this (Exod. 24, 4, 5a), ...But a goad king came to reign in Ju- dah who increased his strength by do- ing what was right in the sight of God. He relied upon. God for his strength, and God never failed him. God had promised, and Asa relied upon'the pro mise. Ahab was a weak king because he disobeyed God's laws, but a strong and fearless prophet came to him bringing a message from God. The prophet drew his strength from God, who ne- ver fails (1 Pet. 5. 7'). Elijah the fearless prophet made a wonderful test with the prophets of Baal, in which he proved God's power to be greater than any earthly power, though over four hundred were cont biped against hint. While their test failed, his succeeded, because he pray- ed in a way that was acceptable to God (Prov. 15. 29). After this test Elijah seemed to show signs of weakness, and 'he was discouraged, He went into the wilder- ness alone, and there God gave ,him strength. In order that he might prove his new strength, God sent•him on an important mission. Elijah did prove the new strength which he had received in the wilderness (Psa, 46. -10). He found it sufficient for his new needs. Ben-hadad had a great' and powerful army, but this availed him nothing, for he lost the power to control the sol- diers when he lost the power to con- trol himself.. The young men who had trained themselves to obey overcame and defeated Ben-hadad. In Psa..72 the u riter prays for a king to corse in wham there shall be every element of strength—mercy, justice, gentleness, forgiveness, faithfulness, fearlessness. A king came whose reign shall never cease.' He is the •ex- ample of strength through obedience He is our brotherJesusChrist, the son of God oitr.Father.

Country Thunder Peals Are Loudest. • Lightning is accumulated electricity discharged from the clouds. Thunder is the noise made by the concussion of the air when it closes, or "bangs to" after it has been parted by the light- ning flash. A certain part of the noise is due to chemical air changes produced by the electric fluid. When thunder seems like one vast crash it is because the lightning' cloud is near the earth and the sound vibrations reach the ear at the same ritoment, and so seem Iike one sound. An irregular broken roar of "hea- ven's artillery" means that the light- ning cloud is distant, and the thun- der noise vibrations, having further to travel,reach the ear at different times. Sound takes a second to tra- vel 380 yards. When thunder "growls" the storm is further distant still. What is called "rolling" thunder; is due to the echoes of the peal reverberating among masses of clouds and terrestrial ob- jects. Not all know that the reason why summer lightning is so often without thunder is that the disturbance is so far away that the sound of the thun- der is lost—that is, the vibrationsare exhausted—before they can reach us. It is in a fiat country that thunder peals are heard at their best. Mills and mountains break the peals and make them harsh and irregular. It may seem a pity to destroy the belief in "thunderbolts," but, as a mat- ter of fact, there are no such things. Thunderbolts, so called, are globular lightning. Other "bolts"—"fulgurites" really— are due to the fusing of flinty matter in sandy soils by the action of the lightning.. Thunder storms are pre- ceded re- ceded by hot weather, and followed by 'cold, showery weather. In Three Great Disasters.

Germans' Say They Have Captured 1,100,000 Russians Since May. Since May 2, German troops have captured • 1,100,000 Russians, accord- ing to an official review of military operations issued hi Berlin. The review declares that at least 300,000 Russians were killed or wounded in the same period, asserting that the estimate is conservative. The review devoted to the results of the offensive movements in Poland, Galicia and Russia, reads as follows: "In the fighting since May 2, 1,100,- 000 men have been captured, and at least 300,000 killed or wounded, This is a very conservative estimate; the real figures are likely higher. "The armies which were struck first at the beginning of our offensive were annihilated. Their losses were made up, however, by withdrawing troops from other regions,especially those held ready to invade Turkey, garri- sons of Russian fortresses and half- drilled men hurriedly transported from the interior." GUNS FIRE KNIVES. A French Invention Destaroys Wire Entanglements. One of the best defences against the attack of modern infantry has proved to be wire entanglements, thousands of miles of which guard the fronts of the opposing armies. When- ever a good defense is found, however, then human brains set to work to find. some means of overcoming it. So well made and so intricafe have been the entanglements, however, that the highest explosives have sometimes failed to clear a way, and the French have hit on an invention. This is a gun which fires a special heavy four - bladed knife. The knife revolves ra- pidly when fired, and cuts a, way through the strongest entanglements, so opening a way for a bayonet charge. It has the great advantage over all other methods that it does not involve any risk to the soldiers, who I formerly had to place the explosive bombs beneath the wire, with every chance of being shot while doing so. ASKS WAR CHANT AT GRAVE. Officer Leaves Soldier $40,000 to Re- late Experiences Over Tomb. A Trench soldier, fighting in the Argonne, has just inherited an estate valued at $40,000 from an eccentric army officer, who lived in the soldier's native village. The only condition at- tached to the legacy is that the soldier must, from time to time, visit . the grave of his benefactor and elate there some of his war experiences. The will says: "Being without family, I leave the -whole of my fortune to Paul Cambon, farmer. 1 desire thus to showniy gratitude to him for having for many years listened patiently and with every air of interest to the stories I used to tell of the war of 1870. 1: trust that he will be spared to re- turn to his village after the present war, and my only request to hint is that he come occasionally to my tomb and there relate some of his own war experiences."
