Sister Martin Nicholson, who has sit returned to London after nurs- g wounded soldiers in Warsaw, rites of htlr experiences as follows : Nichevo If I hand gone to Russia knowing otlling of the language this is the ord.

Nichevo expre,r erfect indifference, and I heard he word first ,on tie lips of. a Rus- ian soldier in the first Recl Cross ospital .at Warsaw. The c%tor ad explained to him thah it was ecessary to take off his hand. `Nichevo 1" replied the soldier, those head was swathed with ban - ages.. The word was constantly on the lips of men' broken beyond imagi- nation. 1 had previously seen many terrible cases at the King's Palace in Brussels, but the conditionof some of the Russian Rdldiers brought in from Lodz and the neighborhood , was infinitely worse. The reason was explained to me by a Russian doctor. "We have to deal with worse cases," he said, "because our men are more difficult to kill. Our sol- diers are the hardiest in the .world." I was inclined to believe him. Let me take the case of a. wounded Cos- sack ' with whom - I became very friendly. Near Lodz this man was shot in the leg. His wound was hastily dressed by acomrade who, in his hurry—for all the time he was under' fierce file tied the bandage far too tight. The wounded soldier remained on the battlefield for eight days in the bittee cold, the bandage cutting hard into his wound. After a few days there was the added agony of gangrene. How he lived was a mire acre to me. I do not think any sol- ier but a Russian • could have en- ured the agony. By all the laws f nature he should have been dead ong ago. Siberians Hardiest:. The moment he was brought into the hospital he was 'told that the leg would have to 'be amputated. There was no murmur of regret, no outward .expression of the great pain he must have been suffering. During the whole time I was at Warsaw 1 never saw a single Rus- sian soldier break down under pain. They will stand cutting and chop- ping without a murmur—provided they have a cigarette, and I believe if a surgeon had cut off a finger. by mistake the only:eonament would be the inevitable nic:hevo. A Siberian—these troops are the hardiest of the lot—was brought in- to the hospital with both legs and one of his arms badly broken by shrapnel. It was necessary to am- putate all these limbs. A Little af- ter the .operation I spoke to the man. "Give me back two legs, one arm will do, and I will go back to the fight for the Little Father," he said. I could give •many other in- cidents of ,the Russians' vadifference to pain, but they would awake too gruesome reading. The. Russian soldier, with. all his hardiness, has the heart of a child. This same man. who had £aced great agony without flinching, cried like a child later when shown some little kindness. Tears come to the men very easily, but never as a result of pain. Their tears are the result of deep emotion -and this combination of hardness and deep feeling is surely one of the most extraFordi- nary traits in the Russian charac- ter! The wounded found on the field of battle are usually lying on their backs, their 'faces. turned to heaven. The reason was explained very .sim- ply to nae by a wounded Siberian, ""You .see," he said, "we believe God is on our side, and we like to die facing Him. So when we aye badly hit and we fees that all is up '.10 try to fall 'on our becks." . Before going to Russia I was in Brussels, arriving there the same day es the Germans. At first I was ordered to take care of Belgian wounded prisoners, and later sent to the King's Palace, which had 'been turned into'. a hospital, to look after the German wounded. The wounded German is fax more difficult to deal with than the wounded Russian, and the two hos- pitals presented a vivid contrast. The German breaks elOwn very easi- ly and is restless: when suffering, The. German soldier is easier to handle than the German officer,' who wi71 fight against an operation and sometimes beooane a 1pitiable object.

Thousands of people, chuck Pull of the joy of living—happy, glad, • bright• people, that Nerviline has cured of their pains, all tell the same wonder- ful story of its power to drive out the aches and tortures of rheumatism and kindred. ills.

"Last month I was' so crip- pled up with sciat.i'ca and muscular rheumatism as to be almost unable to do a bit of housework. My joints were so stiff and the mucles so fright- fully sore that I even cried at times with the pain.

The Gurkas, who came from India to France to take their place hi the British firing line, were sometimes very amusing during . the long voyage to Europe. When they had been at sea two whole days without seeing land, writes an English officer to the London Times, they became very much disturbed in Naind. "Without. doubt, the captain of the ship has lost his way," they said, but they counseled. together and decided at' last that all was well. Some one asked them h;1w they reached this decision. They led him to the stern of the vessel and pointed to the long wake of water boiling' behind them, and said with a smile- as broad as the greatness of the discovery, "Without doubt lie follows the path." • Ste Was IAS filed The Cigarette and War.

Some of the inhabitants having been found guilty .of. espionage In the interests of France, the German gener- al imagining that there were several more traitors, threatened to burn the town, The inhabitants became so terror stricken that Rabbi Bamberger decided to make a personal appeal to the gen- eral to spare the town. Attired in his canonicals and wearing his Tallis and Tephillin, the octogenarian rabbi pro- ceeded to the ;general's quarters and offered himself as a hostage for the loyalty of the population. He remind. ed the general of God's promise to Abraham that Sodom would bo spared if ten righteous men could bo Pound. The general was so touched by. the rabbi's earnestness that he decided to abandon his cruel intention, at the same time refusing to accept the rabbi's offer to be hostage for the townspeople's good conduct. • Montreal, Que., Feby. 1st .•(Spe- cial) -.'M adame J, Baptiste Berube, melding at 1393 Logan Avenue, this pity, asserts that .after four years' suffering from kidney disease she has been eomplete!y restored to health by Dodd's Kidney' Pills.

A quick way of determining the purity of maple sugar, which has recently been put into practical use, depends upon the difference in electrical resistance of impure and pure sugar. • Standards of resist- ance were determined by sending a current through a solution of pure sugar, .and then by making similar tests with sugar adulterated by the ordinary methods. It is not only a simple matter to determine whether the sugar is or is not adulterated, but the form of adulterant is also usually indicated by the degrees of resistance. Wellington's Blunt Phrase..

Constantly on their feet, attending to the wants of a large and exacting family, women often break down with nervous exhaustion. In the stores, factories, and on a farm are weak, ailing women, dragged down with the torturing backache and bearing down pains. Such suffering isn't natural, but it's dangerous, because due to diseased kidneys. The dizziness, insomnia, deranged menses and other symptoms of kidney complaint can't cure themselves, they require the assistance of Dr. Hamil- ton's Pills which go direct to the seat of the trouble. To give vitality and power to the kidneys, to lend aid to the bladder and liver, to free the blood of poisons,' probably there is no remedy so suc- cessful as Dr. Hamilton's Pills. For all womanly irregularities their merit is well known. Because of there mild, soothing, and healing effect, Dr. Hamilton's Pills are 1, safe, and are recommended for girls and women of all ages. 25 cents per box at all dealers.
