because' the United States have been
somewhat backward in their militery
outfit there is any lack of interest here
in the experiments in other countries.
The auto manufacturers in this country
and abroad have had many obstacles
to overcome in their product, and there
could be no possible harm in exercieing
proper care in the matter of adapting
for the army an auxiliary of unproved
merit. The question of motive posver
is still to be settled, as in the opinion of
military experts each and all of the vari-
ous agents of power now employed are
to some extent objectionable. In the
British army steam vehicles appear to
ffidue to ther fact that England is always

behind the times in her experiments with
other means of propulsion, such as ben-
zine, gasoline and electricity.
From preliminary tests it was demon-
strated beyond doubt that in eertain
respects autoraobiles would be superior
for military use to vehicles drawn by
horses, but the impression prevailed am-
ong army authorities that for various
reasons the utility of the former would
be lifted to certain branches of the ser-
vice. In other words, it was not be-
lieved originally that automobiles could
take the place of the heavy wagons used
to transport war material of one sort
o ranother, owing to the fact that their
drawing power would be insufficient for
thta. purpose. It was soon shown, how-
ever, that speed was only one of the
automobile's virtues and that if pro-
perly constructed its motive power was
relatively as great as its rapidity of
movement.
' This having been determined its field
of military usefulness quickly broaden-
ed. Official inquiries were made as to
what type of .motor vehicle was likely
to prove the more satisfactory for spell -
fled purposes, such as transporting ar-
tillery, provisions and ammunition, and
prizes were offered for machines which
sleeeshould be found, after a fair trial, to
a' answer these requirements. For exam-
ple, a few years ago the Emperor of Ger-
many volunteered to give $20,000 for
the best auto for all-round military
use which should be produceil and the
war department of Great Britain offer-
ed a prize of $8,000 for a motor wagon
powerful enough to draw a burden cf
twenty-five tons on a maximum grade of
one in eighteen. It was stipulated that
the machine should not weigh more than
thirteen tons, and should be able to
maintain a speed of from three to five
miles per hour and to travel it least
forty miles without stopping for sup-
plies.
Within 'the past few years great in-
teeest in automobiles as engines of war
has also been manifested in Russia and
Austria and Italy and as is well known
the French Government during •the lass
six years has been engaged in conduct-
ing a series of evperiments calculated

of 1898 the automobile was valued chief-
ly as a means of deliverirm' important
communications and of enabling com-
manding .officers to inspect their troops
with an immense saving of time. Later
waa found to be valtmble for trans-
porting -supplies and artillery and now
the variety of horseless vehicles in
France which have been built particular-
ly for the army almost defies descrip-
tion. One of .them is an eight -seated
omnibus of twelve horse power and a
speed of twenty-five miles an hour, this
machine having been designed especially
for staff officers. Then there is a mili-
tary post -office automobile with a speed
of eighteen miles an hours, a surgeon's

"I consider Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills a
most marvellous medicine," says Mrs.
Louis Tureott, 665 Papineau street,
Montrea. They restored me to health
and strength, when 1 was in a most help-
less condition, and almost despaired of
recovery. My trouble began a few years
ago, when I passed through a severe ill-
ness, from which I did not regain my
accustomed health and strength, though
I had the very best of care and treat-
ment. I seemed to grow weaker every
'day. I was pale and. emaciated, had no
appetite, could hardly go about, aud
found my life almost a burden. It seem-
ed as though my blood had turned to
water, and my nerves seemed completely
shattered. All the tirne I was under
medical treatment, but with no apparent
benefit. One day a friend who called
to see me brought me some Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and asked nee to take them.
did so, and after a couple of weeks I
found my appetite improving, and took
this as a sign that the pills were help-
ing ine, and I got another supply. In a
-few weeks more the change in my ap-
pearance and condition was marvellous,
and friends who dropped in to see me
hardly thought I was the same person.
It was not much longer until Iwas com-
pletely cured, in fact felt better than I
had done for years before. I am, there-
fore, very happy to make known to all
ailing women the fact that they can find
new health through the use of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills."
Mrs. Turcott's experince with this
i
medicine is the same as thousands of
'others. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the
greatest cure for the ailments due to
poor blood. All the weakness of anae-
mia; all the distress of indigestion; all
the pains and aches of neuralgia, eclat- !
ica, and rheumatism; all the misery and
ill -health that women suffer from time
to time, come from bad blood. And
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure these trou-
' bes, because they actually make new,
rich, health -giving blood. They don't
act upon the bowels, they don't bother I
with mere symptoms; they go right to ,
the root of the trouble and cure it
through the blood. But you must get

THE TOWN OF AYLESBURY.
Not son Strong as They Look and
Usually Short -Lived.
Aylesbury is a town which keeps safe-
ly guarded in the midst of its modern
streets, picturesque fragments of its
past. That past reaches far back into
Saxon days when "Aegieshurgli" aup-
planted encampment. Wild fights be-
tween Briton and Saxon, Saxon and
Dane, raged across the wide vale, thick-
ly wooded then, fights such as that
which has left its strange memorial in
Whitleaf Cross; a huge cross cut on one
of the hill slopes, a,nd gleaming out in
spectral whiteness across miles a.nd
miles of intervening country. From tha
days of Cuthwulf and Offa to those of
the civil war, .Aylesbury seems to have
rejoiced in an unusually peaceful his-
tory, much preoccupied with matters ec-
clesiastical and with its devotion to
St. Syth or St. Osyth. The body of that
famous Saxon saint—of whose beautiful
east coast s-anetuary I wrote some time
since for the readers of the Evening
Post—was brought. from the place of
ter martyrdom and hidden for it time
out of fear of the heathen Danes, among
her native woods and hills of Bucking,-
inmshire. It is a "far cry" from Danish
nva.ers and Saxon defenders to the op-
posing Englishmen. of Stuart times, but
t is the period of the civil wee that
Aylesbury next becomes noted. I was
thinking but little of St Syth and
inueh of royalist skirmishers and Puri -
an milithe when I drove into Aylesbury

Of all things on the farm, corn -cobs ar

with corn -cobs, the latter are much mor
valuable in the shape of ashes. Ashe
from hard woods also contain over 5 pe
cent. of phosphoric acid (equal to 5
pounds for every 1,000), and 300 pound

ashes is applied for the benefit of the
coming crops. Estimating the ashes
from soft woods, in every 1,000 pounds
there are from 20 to 40 pounds of phos-
phoric acid. These proportions, however,
are not reliable, as ashes differ greatly. .
Farmers regard all ashes as being alike. 1
in benefiting crop, but it may be men
tioned that good results can be obtained -
by applying all kinds of wood ashes to
such crops as potatoes and vegetables,
while ashes from some woods do better
on clover, owing to the larger proportion
of lime they contain. Plaster is always
a useful companion to ashes, especially
on potatoes and clover. Ashes and man-
ure should never be mixed together in a
heap, as the ashes are causic in nature
and liberate ammonia; but no damage
will occur when they are mixed and ap-
plied directly to the soil, and worked in
with the cultivator, though it is not ad-
visable to allow ashes to come in Imme-
diate contact with young and tender
plants. It has been an old-time custom,
which is still adhered to in some see -
tions, to burn brush over land intended
for tobacco, and, though many of the
farmers could not give the reason, yet
they knew that a plentiful supply of
nshes did much in the way of producing
a good crop. But as tobacco is a plant
that also utilizes magnesia, it found that
article ready for use in ashes. Contain-
ing a portion of all the ingredients that
make our costly fertilizers, except nitro-
gen, ashes are an excellent fertilizer.
The main reliance in ashes is the fact
that they contain nothing that can pass
off in the atmosphere and as many of
the ingredients of ashes are soluble in
water plants, can appropriate them for
use immediately. Ashes are easily ap-
plied to the land, and they give resulls
for several years, seeming to benefit all
kinds of orops.

As the forests are being reduced the
supply of wood ashes is falling off. Cot-
ton seed hulls are now one of the princi-
pal sources of potash, the soluble potash
salts from Germany being largely drawn
upon, and more caro is also exercised in
saving the liquids of factories that may
contain potash. Some hard woods, such
as elm aria basswood, are not plentiful,
and afford but little ash as a supply,
but the ashes therefrom are rich in pot-
ash, the former sometimes containing
over 70 pounds in 1,000 pounds of ash,
and the latter as high as 80 pounds,
which excels some woods; but the pro-
portion of phosphoric acid is 25 pounds
in elm ashes and 30 pounds in basswood.
In addition to its large percentage of
potash, elm contains about 00 pounds of
soda, 30 pounds of lime and 40 pounds
of magnesia. Basswood contains about
60 pounds of soda, 300 pounds of lime,
and 45 pounds of magnesia. Another
great contrast is shown by noting that
willow ashes, in 1,000 pounds, contain
about 80 pounds of potash, 60 pounds of
soda, 400 pounds of lime and 85 pounds
of phosphoric add. This is a large quan-
tity of the latter element, being nearly
equal to some, of the lime pholphates,
but the advantage is somewhat over-
balanced by the scarcity of the wood,
and the ashes also vary. Even coal
ashes are more or less valuable, as soft
coal ashes contain five pounds of potash
in every 1,000, as well as four pounds
of Oda, two pounds of phosphoric acid
and 30 pounds of magnesia; but hard
coal ashes contain on/y apeuhd of each.

MODERN GIANTS ARE FRAIL.
The young Russian stripling 9 feet
8 izehes high, who was found not lueg
age on the Siberia', border and speed-
ietrodneed on European show bills,
revives interest in giants in general and
directs attention to the literature of
thoee placid and innocent Brobaligna-
glans who seem to keep up the line of
the order with unfailing regularity.
There is a good deal of it when it is set
in biblio-graphieal array, but it is gen-
erelry hidden away in dust bins of ob-
livion beyond the ordinary student's ex-
ploeation.
In 1718 a French scholar named Hen-
zion, published a work about giants, he-
s/inning mith Adam, who, as he asserted,
was 123 feet 9 inches tall, Eve being
only five feet shorter. But Adam's des-
cendenta begen to taper off from the
beginning. When they came to Noah
they bad sheared down that celebrated
navigator to the comparatively trivial
stature of 27 feet. Abraham was only
20 and Moses stopped at 13, a dwarfish
height in the comparison. After the
great lawgiver the stature of mankind
come down to its present average, in
which there has been no marked change
except in individual cases since the
beginning of the historical and statisti-
cal period. Now and then a colossus ar-
ises out of the generation of pygmies,
like the young Russian referred to, and
now and then a big skeleton is dug up,
showing that nature has some obscure
need of giants and has never allowed
the race entirely to run out.

the returns are greater than when the

West in the days of the land boomer,
but deserted, streets are seldom record-

common abroad.
Many of these are the result of liti-
gation, as in the case of a block of seven
houses in Versailles'where a lawsuit
over an estate has left the property
without tenants for eleven years. So
warm has been the dispute that the in-
terested parties cannot even agree upon
a caretaker, and the middle house, once
occupied by the owner of the property,
is filled with handsome furniture and

some houses left without tenants be-
cause of two murders and a suicide

given the case drove out the tenants,
and no others have been found willing

In Cbarlottenburg, Berlin, eight houses
are untenanted because their owner ob-

ants, while twenty houses in Odessa
have never had a tenant, their owner
having run them up in such a hurry
that the building authorities intervened

Budapest's dead street is a row of
twenty-three cottages which no one will

the death rate was four times the nor-
mal figures, and no tenants can be ob-

Dalny, abandoned by the Russians at

Bachelor Life in New York.
(Harriet Quimby in Leslie's Weekly).
One of the surprises of the census
taken this year is the large number of
persons who live alone in New York. It
was remarked by an official of the cen-
sus bureau that the greatest lonelinese
exists in the busiest municipality of the
weetern world, and the statement Was
verified by the reports of the enumera-
tors, who found the city filled with
thousands of unattached persons. They
live in boarding houses, in the new car-
avansaries, and in hundreds of baehelor
apartments and studios. Of artists and
art students alone there are said to be
about five thousand, a majority of
whom are women. A considerable num-
ber occupy studios or apartments and
live on the co-operative plan. It was
thought when the census was undertak-
en, early in the spring, that the elass
known as bachelors would be small, and
only ten thousand blanks, or individual
slips, were asked for as the first in-
stallment. But before the census taking
had fairly begun it was found that
many more (dips were needed, and lots
of ten thousand were repeatedly order-
ed. When the census reporte were col-
lected and filed away the mortis con-
tained. the names of several hundred
thousand persons, in the eity of New
York who are living in a solitary state:
