Interesting History of the Train In Use by the President of the ]?rend; Republic. The special train that the Czar of Russia used to travel in, with its twelve cars providing apartments for the Czar, hie suite and guard, a real Russian bath, kitchens, a chapel and all of the comforts of a palace, was formerly the most elaborate owned by any European ruler, The train of the Emperor William of Germany has seven partly armored cars and a locomotive designed to withstand even bomb and shell at- tacks. Everything that makes for ef- ficiency is provided, including a li- brary ear, on the walls of which hang hundreds of military maps. The train of the President of the French Republic, althoughnot the most luxurious of the official trains of Europe, has perhaps the most inter- esting history of them all, says the Railway Age Gazette. It has figured in more important political events than any of the others, and has car- ried at some time nearly all of the great men of the world, including, possibly, France's greatest enemy, the Emperor 'William himself. Conveyed the Czar. President Faure ordered the train hurriedly built in the autumn of 1896 for the purpose of carrying to Paris'. the Czar of Russia, whose visit at that time cemented the alliance be- tween France and Russia. The whole train was built in thirteen days. So hastily was the private personal ear built that not until the tenth day did it occur to anyone that the Czar might wish to take a bath. So the roof of the car was promptly cut open and a apace made large enough to allow the lowering of a' huge silver bathtub into a corner of the car. The tub is there after all these years, and so is the patch in the car roof. The train has its own special housing shed at Vil- leneuve St. Georges, some miles out of Paris, but of late it has been as fre- quently out of its shed as in. One of its most important trips since the war began occurred in Octo- ber, 1915, when it conveyed the King of England to the French front, where he reviewed in company with Presi- t dent Poincare fifty thousand—of the 1 troops that had taken part in the bat- tle of Champagne. Outlived Its Day. Unlike the imperial trains, the French President's train is not armor- ed, and it has no protection whatever a against bullets and shells. It was. built at a time when no one thought that v necessary. The four cars are elabor- ately upholstered in red and yellow silk velvets, and are of wood. They are not of the typical French con- E struetion, but look more like Ameri- can parlor cars, except that the roofs are not fully rounded at the ends. The interiors resemble somewhat the tour- t iet cars used on the Western railways h of this continent, and are not divided v into compartments like most English 1 and Continental cars. wh Although they are thoroughly com- fortable, it is apparent from their fading curtains and upholstering, and c their clumsy and ponderous arrange- h ments, that they have outlived their a time. They remind you of the old pal- f ace at Oiron, the magnificence of c which is falling into decay, because c no one can afford to live in the place. h The Little Rain. ly "Oh! she is good, the little rain! and a well she knows our need Who cometh in the time of spring to er aid the sundrawn seed; ' She wanders with a friendly wind through silent nights unseen.

By the time I had used three boxes I could tell that they were help- ing me, When I had taken eight boxes of the pills I felt able to attend to my business again, and people were sur- prised to see me out- I continued the 080 of the pills until I had taken twelve boxes, by whde11 time I was feeling as well as ever I did, and was being con- gratulated by all my friends on my full restoration to health. I feel now that 1f I had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at the outset I would not only have saved much money spent in doc- or's bills, but would have had renewed zealth sooner. I cannot speak too highly of this medicine, and would recommend it to every man who feels weak, nervous or run down."

HOW DO YOU CARRY MONEY ? ach Nationality Has Its Typical Method of Handling Coin. You can generally tell a man's na- ionality from the manner in which e carries his pocket -money, for the arious methods employed frequent - y betray the name of the country of ich they are typical. The majority of British people carry their money—be it gold, silver, or oppers—all mixed up in the right - and trousers pocket. Upon needing ny, your typical Briton takes a hand- ul of this mixture, and selects the oins he desires in an open and unco0- ealed manner. Uncle Sam, across the Boundary, as a "wad of bills," which heasecure- keeps in a long, narrow pocket- ook. Frenchmen, more often than not, re satisfied with an ordinary leath- purse. Not so with his hereditary foe, for a purse, gaily embroidered in silks by the fair hand of some Gretchen, is the money -receptacle of the conceited Hurl The poorer classes ,of the Italians tie up their small fortunes in a gaud- ily -colored handkerchief, which they mysteriously conceal somewhere about their persons. Many of our Russian friends pre- fer to hide their precious savings in their boots or the lining of their clothes.

How Some People Earn a Living by Their Ears and Noses. Most people depend upon their hands for their livelihood, and so we have come to speak of handiwork and handicraft and "handy," But there are many others who could survive the loss of arms in such a war as this and still be efficient for business. For instance, there is a man in every pen factory in Birmingham, England — probably several - whose sole business is giving nibs their final test before they are packed away in the familiar box. He drops each nib separately, one by one, on a sheet of plate -glass, and he can tell instantly by the sound emitted whether the nib is fit to be packed for sale, or only to be thrown aside as imperfect. There are people who make a living by their noses, sniffing perfumes for the scent -makers. The art of making delightful perfumes, in which the ladies will delight, is mainly a matter P of how much of this and how little of P that, and there aro well-trained noses se which can tell at a sniff whop there is just the little too much or too little or lira whether anything is missing.di if ti THANKFUL MOTHERS liver or develop poisons in One of the results of the war wh the colon.

John Chinaman often has peculiar ideas about the wearing apparel that h e buys in America. For one thing, he always wants boots that are sev- eral sizes too largo, for he believes that in that way he gets more value for his money. In addition to exces- sive size, boots have to possess other peculiar characteristics before they meet his full approval, as the follow- ing story indicates: A California morohant offered a Mair of fine boots that he had long kept in stock to a Chinese for three dollars. The Oriental finally took them, but two days later he brought them back, "What's the trouble, John?" inquir- ed the merchant. "flim good boots." "Ilim no good," declared John, "Him no sing -song boot, Velly soon wear out. Me likee singsong boot or me catchee back t'r'ee dolia'." "Singsong boot!" exclaimed the merchant, "Me no sabe." "Me t'iniC you sabe, all lite," replied John, "Who' fo' him boot no singee Squeak! squeak! when Chinaman Walken, aile same good hoot?" When the merchant had given him in exchange for the fine boots a pair of coarct, cheap ones that squeaked loudly, John Chinaman departed high- ly satisfied. O SLEEP LAST NIGHT?
