So take with you a beef- steak capsule, four egg tablets, some toast lozenges and two coffee granules." "Exactly. And about packing?" "Fortunately that isn't much trouble since we women have discarded clothes entirely. Do you think you can get all my belongings into this burglar-proof wrist bag? There will be nothing but my jewels, my bandeaux and my aigrettes, and the latter are collapsible. That's all. I'll vibrate if I need you."

Most people have a penchant for the picturesque. And Essad Pasha, with the most supreme unconsciousness, was always picturesque. He was, moreover, according to all the canons of diplomacy and interna- tional law and political morality, ab- solutely impossible. Dignities meant as little to him as did the most sacred conventions, when they chanced to stand in his way, whilst fear of consequences had never, at any time, any place in his outlook. Thus when his bro- ther Ghani, who was in the service of Abdul Hamid at the Yildiz Kiosk, suddenly disappeared, as did many other favorites of the Caliph, Essad had no thought but to carry out, with the utmost punctiliious- ness, the vendetta required by the "law of the mountains." He left Ma- cedonia, where he held a command In the army, and came to Constan- tinople, discovered hits brother's murderer, and with the utmost calmness, "cut him down like a gels - " WI GUAM ,ADVANCE ESSAD PASHA tleman" on the Galata Bridge, and, lest there should be any doubt about it, lett on him a card which bore the name Essad Toptani. Then he wait- ed for a reasonable time for the challenge to be taken up, and finally departed to resume his command in Macedonia. That, however, was not the end of the matter. Essad Pasha was a Top - teal. . He was, too, of the Kastriota, a descendant of the great Scander- beg, and left nothing of that kind unfinished. He did not write "set- tled in full" on Ghani's account until the memorable day in April, eight years ago, when he strode into the presence of Abdul Hamid at the Yildiz Kiosk, as the envoy of the Committee of Union and Progress, bearing the Caliph's deposition. In accordance with the Fetwa, and by the decision of the national assem- bly, Abdul Hamid was deposed, and Ghent was revenged. Following the deposition, Essad threw himself whole-heartedly Into the work of the committee. In his own way, he was a genuine reform- er, Had he not improved his estate at Tirane till there was none like it in all Albania? Had he not brought men of experience from other parts of Europe to instruct his peasants, and were there not to be found on his estate machines for. plowing the land and reaping such as no Alban- ian had seen before? Then suddenly came the first gun- shot of the Balkan wars, and, almost before the smoke of it had cleared away over the hillsides above Scu- tari, Essad Pasha was on his way to Albania, whilst within a few days be and the Turco-AIbanian army, with Hassan Riza at, its head, were shut up in the city by the lake. The story how Hassan mysteriously disappear- ed, and Essad took command, how Essad subsequently surrendered the city to Prince Benito of Montene- gro, and how, after shaking hands with the Prince in the market place, he marched out at the head of his men, carrying everything with him but the siege guns, was one of the mysteries of Europe, four and a half years ago. In the tortuous times which f .I towed the second Balkan war, when great powers were endeavoring to settle the Albanian quest's,- esesad Pasha was lent,ii nt F•' redoubtable chieftain Prenk Bib Dodo was "Austria's man." The Al- banian question was still unsettled, of course, when the present war broke out but Essad Pasha remained Italy's man, and is Italy's man still. Attired in an Albanian uniform, and wearing among his decorations the French Cross Of War conferred upon him a few days before by General Sarrail, he was interviewed recently by a representative of the Paris Matin, He spoke of the importance of the Salonica campaign, and of all it had accomplished, and told of how he had been touched by the warmth of the welcome accorded him in Italy, as he had passed through the country a. short time before, on his Way to Paris. Essad Pasha is cer- tainly still Italy's man, and, more than that he ler the Allies' luau, The JugosIave. Why do we write .Yugoslays when south Slav's would do much better? The word tlitnpiy means south Slays, its first half being the universal Slav term for "south." It is -lot written as pronotiuced, or, rattier, it is written as a (lerman would pronounce it. Our phonetic transliteration should he "Yu. go•Slays," a form which is often used, But "south Slays" indicates) much more intelligibly the great racial unit of some i5,000,000 souls that Occupies the whole southwest corner of the dna) monarchy abutting on the Adriatic.— 'London Chronkle, la tett i l�lw»»r loomowotow ax rt' ["tmKr Found New kcal la HEALTH K to pgreater value then gall and Xstl�'er ie health restored. up la in the mining district of harder K Lake, Out., Mr. tsid Castleumen ,his.

TROOPS IN MULE Trained Soldiers Are Wholly In., different to Danger. FACE DEATH WITHOUT FEAR. Thought of Calamity Bothers Thom Not, and They May Be Severely Waundod Without Feeling Pain. Unique Analogy From Railroad Life, The thought of not coming out of a battle alive rarely enters tate wind of a seasoned soldier, and he goes into the conillet fired only with the sense of a Patriotic duty to be well and faithfully Performed, with perhaps a vague hope of preeeotiou for a deed of bravery or daring. Vei•y few people are afraid of a natural death, but a violent death is different, and yet "hundreds of thou- sands of men have gone to meet praeti- cally certain destruction without giv- ing a sign of terror." Concerning the absolute indifference of the ,trained soldier to death in tee midst of battle and the reasons there- for, Da Afackenua employs a unique and graphic Illustration frond the rail• road world: "Let us imagine," lie says, "that the brain, tee organ that links up the body with the sources of thought and action, is a railway terminus into which ruga lines from all parts of the country. There are lines to and from the eyes, the ears, the feet the hands and every muscle in time hotly, "In the heat of battle trains loaded with messages are racing on the down line to every muscle. On a well or• tiered railway system certatu trains have priority, while. others are held back until congestion is relieved and some of the tracks are cleared. "A wise train dispatcher will sec that a slow freight try in does not get in the way and block the progress of a pas- senger express, and the mind acting in this role takes care that no train laden with tear finds Its way out of the terminus to throw the other traffic into confusion, There are no tracks to spare for such a cargo, the whole railway system is occupied with the supply of more urgent necessities. "By a similar observation one can ex plain time frequently repeated statement that in the beat of battle a soldier may sustain a formidable wound and feet to pain whatever mid even be nn:mivnr•• Ih mt no has been hut. .'•l'he injured linih or or"an mli-m'ma on express train along Iiia, ,ensom:v nerve to the ra, s,..V 0''' hl the brain, but on drawing ma'mm t terminus the signals are found to Is against it, and it cannot force its way through the press of traffic into the station, It is therefore sidetracked. "lint just on an ordinary train will try 'to call the attention of the signal- man by blowing its whistle when the signal is against it, so a sensation of pain may succeed in calling the atten- tion of the brain to its existence by sending on a message not or pain, but of heaviness or pressure. "This may have the effect of opening a path for the whole train to run through, and the wounded man begins to discover that he has been hit or hurt. But in most cases a long inter - vat elapses between the infliction of the wound and the realization of the soldier that he has been wounded. "I have been informed by a soldier who had a large piece blown out of his thigh that he was quite unaware of his Injury for several minutes. Ilis alten- was attracted by hearing his foot 'squelch' every time he mored it. On looking clown he saw that his boot was full of blood; then almost imnrnediatety he felt a dull ache in the thigh, follow- ed very shortly by a sensation of acute pain. "In this case, to return to our illus- tration, the messages of pain from the wounded thigh bad been held up by con- gestion of traffic near the terminus. We may imagine that the impeded train tried to call the attention of the signai- man,e but failed to do so until a mes- sage sent from the suburban station of sight, not far from the terminus, got through and informed the station etas- ter that a very important train from a remote part of the country was being held up. The levers were then at once drawn, and the sensation of pain pass- ed on to the sensorium. Our First Woman's Bights Paper.
