Partly eriental and wholly set in the green and emerald of its garcons and neighboring well -wooded hills, Sera - levo is frequently called "The Damas- cus of the North." The oity Iles 122 miles southwest of Belgrade. With a growing population of 50,000 and a thriving commerce and industry, Sera jevohas been fast losing its eastern character, reeonatruating the old Turk- ish city to conform to the purposes of Western progress. Its large bazaar is a favorite mar- ket place for the peasants of the whole Province, while its commission houses conduct the exehango of Bosnian ag- ricultural and mineral products with the manufactories of other parts of the .empire. It has potteries, silk milia, a tobacco factory and a large individ- ual, or house industry, which produces line embroideries, rugs, embossed and filigree work. H. Nephi' Envelopes. Envelopes are used instead of napkin n rrn d in 1 g some of the pen- sions of Europe, Waite or colored or a pretty flowered crepe paper of a heavy quality is doubled, then cut into pieces eleven by sixteen inches, one end rounded at the• corners. All around the edge receives a double row of machine stitching and the paper then is folded in three., so that the rounded end is a trifle shorter than the other part. The short end forms the flap of the e'h- velope made by the other part. Stitch at both ends. On the flap paste a bit of white paper one by three imches, en whlcih to write the name. The napkin when folded fits nicely into this earrelope case: These eases are being used in pen- sions all over Europe, a fresh one being given to each person as soon as the old one is soiled. In various oolors they also give a pretty touch to the house treble. THE BEST MEDICINE FOR LITTLE ONES Thousands of mothers say Baby's Own Tablets are the only medicine they would give their little ones. Among them is Mrs. Hoivar'dlHod- gins, St. Catharines, Ont., who, says: "I am a user of Baby's Own Tablets and think these the beat medicine in the world for little ones."" Once a smother has used the Tablets She will use no other medicine because she feels the Tab- lets are absolutely eaife and knows they never fall to banish all the simple ailments of little ones. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. a Lights for Battle Fields.. According to•tihe Army and Navy Journal, searchlights are for ob- vious reasons kept .dark until the field artillery has ceased firing and the enemy its charging. To illumin- ate a field over which the enemy is to advance, . star bombs and flares .are also used. Flares, which are merely modified fireworks, are like the familiar red, white ' and blue lights used in Fourth of July celebrations to illuminate streets and parks. Sappers go out in front of the trenches with flares, which are then connected with the headquarters of the officers in oom- nmand of ,the, first line, who by set- ting thesn off at intervals through- out the night can keep the battle front continually lighted. Star bombs are also adaptations of mod- ern fireworks, They are shot from mortars into the +sky, where for twenty miles they will give off an intense light over a wide circle of the surrounding country. Belpre onsh e bomb dies out another ishot into the air. A kind of star bomb, shot into the sky like an ordinary rocket is lined by both armies for signalling at night. 'N Diamond Oldest of Riches. The discoverer of diamonds is un- known. From references in Exod- us it is apparent that the diamond was a precious stone in Egypt in those early timed; and even before that it was known in India, where probably it was first obtained. The name is derived from the Greek word "adamas," meaning "uneub- • duable." ham Pliny, a writer of the first century, we learn that the diamond vas regarded as the 'most valuable of all things, and only a few kings ever could afford to buy them, But as no mewls of artificial polishing had been discovered :the atone de- preciated in valtte, so that the ruby and the emerald ihcaa;me more pre- cious, The discovery Iby Ludwig van Berquen, in 1478, of a anode of polishiag and eutting it at re- turned e- tur ed this .gem to the first place ac e among precious stones, Alaska was bought by the United ISSLL 2d--'lu, Statesfrom Russia for $7,200,000.

After the torpedoing of the Lusa teak, without ,waarning even, who can reasonably refuse to believe any charge of brutal atrocity brought against Germany's conduct of the war? ry.ribes a correspondent in. the New York Sun. Who can re- fuse to believe ,that a nation capa- ble of waging a war in such a fash- ion was capable of deliberately bringing on the war? Who can doubt that the policy of "anything to win" now demonstrated is evi- dence that Geeneamy courted the war in pureuamce of a policy of just sudh world domination as was set forth by Betmharda ? Of what avail is it to oomplain of the breaches• of international law whioh have been committed by both sides in the European confliot 7 The fact that American lives weie lost on a vessel sailing under the Bri- tish flag after the German Govern- ment had warned them of the risk they were running is immaterial. Germany has furnished proof that her warfare respects no flag, not even the Stars and Stripes. The war on Germany's part is a war against no nation, but against all nations. It is a, war against hu- manity. Is it not clear that, under its pre- sent leadership and the ideals which control 'its Kultur, the Ger- man nation is a peril to Civiliza- tion and not fit to survive? What will the liberties of ithe world he worth if Germiany emerges victor from this omelet ,because, through. a cowardly and dreamy love of pewee, nations wthioh have been neutral hibherto refuse to do their part im combating the peril of a pax Gernanioa with whidh civiliza- tion is threatened? Unless the UnitedStates iha,e be- come a country of Chinamen it will not take this affront lying clown. Indeed, the Chinese, with all their weakness, would snake at least a show of fight against so hideous a wrong and eo dreadful a danger. GET POWER Tho Supply Comes From Food. If we get power from food, wiry not strive to get all the power we can. Mat is only possible by se- lecting food that exactly fits the requirements of the body. `Not knowing how to s+eleot the right food to fit my needle, I euf- feared grievously for a Iong time from stomach trouble," writes a lady from a tattle Western town. "It seemed as if I would never be arable to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly any- thing that I could ea.t world sbay on my stomach.

"For years I was thin and delicate. I lost color and was easily tired; a yellow pallor, pimples and blotches on my face were not only mortifying to my feelings, but because I thought my skin would never look nice again I grew despondent.. Then my appetite failed. I grew very weak. Various remedies, pills, tonics and tablets I tried without permanent benefit. A visit to my sister put into my hands a box of Dr. Hamilton's Pills. She placed reliance upon them and now that they have made me a well woman I would not be without them whatever they might cost. I found Dr, Hamil- ton's Pills by their mild yet searching action very suitable to the delicate character of a woman's nature. They never once griped me, yet they estab• lished regularity. My appetite grew keen—my blood red and pure—heavy rings under my eyes disappeared and to -day my skin 1s as clear and un- wrinkled as when I was a girl. Dr, Hamilton's Pills did it all."
