The Mexican boll weevlll, marching1 eastward across the cotton belt, la
rcojriiljsnd as thi greatest menace the South has ever known. The devolution
k'ft by the Civil War was hardly more costly than the ravages of the tiny
bug will be within the uext decade unless something can be found to check
progress.
Having spread over tho eottton fields of Texas it now stands at the
border line of Ixmisiana, and so great Is tho alarm engendered by Us ap
proach in that State that Governor W. W. Heard. Issuing a call for a special
session of the Leglalature, has led In a movement which has resulted In
the appointment of a commlsHlon of Ave members charged with the waging
of a systematic war on the peat. The Legislature appropriated $25,000 aa
a fund to be usd by the commission and provided for a quarantine against
all Texas products and goods which might bring the insect into the fields of
Louisiana.
Congress ha e passed ft bill carrying an appropriation of $250,000 to be
expended by the Department of Agriculture lri fighting the weevil, discov

la sublime.
During General Gurko'a expedition
tlironi the Balkans, In the war with
Turkey, the Infantry sometimes march
ed without a halt for thirty miles, and
then began at once to fight
The Turktetan army, during Its cam
paign against Khlda in 1873, after a
two months march through steppes
and the wildest deserts', arrived on
May 11 on the banka of the Amu Da-
rla with only alx men sick In the am
bulance, although the troop bad suf
fered during tlie expedition all Imagin
able privations.
The very nrst day the troop was
caught In the environs of tho Dchlaak
Mountains by a blizzard, In which sev
eral of the natives following the army
as militiamen and camel drlvera per-
lahed of cold. Among the Russian sol
diers no fatal accident happened,
thanks to the preaeiu-e of mind of the
officers, who organized ganves, told tho
men storleej and tried to occupy them
in a variety of ways, in order to pre
vent them falling asleep. One com
mander of a battaKon punished a sol
dier who had loat his horae brash sim
ply for the purpoao of showing the oth
er men that the blizzard was not to bo
allowed to Interfere with the aervlco.
In the regular Ilimaliin army the
Cossacks are the nfost picturesque and
Interesting flgOres. This military force,
unljue In Ita kind, forms In Its present
state the connecting link between the
regular and irregular troops.
The military education of the Cos
sack begins while be Is still In the cra
dle, for the first sounds that his ear
catches are the warlike words of the
songs In which be Is rocked to sleep.
All the Coaaacks' children's games are
of a warlike nature, and almost be
fore the boys have lonrned ta walk
they are placed on horseback.
The Coaaacka are fine, tall men, with
bronxod complexions and very energet

dred Oosaacka make leas noise than 1
single regular csvalry soldier."
On active service tho Coaanck Is the
soul and the eye of the army, or, rath
er. Its pointer dog. He seems to smell
the enemy where no one even think
of bis exlalenca. Tho Coaaack and his
horse do not know what fatigue meana,
and no one koows when they rest
Even when sleeping they soem to be

not their equals. They give the enemy
not. moment's rest night or day, and
always appear at tho point where they
are least expected. Next to the terrl

The devotion of the Russian soldier
to the Czar Is pathetic. When his bat

are full of maggots, when his clothing
Is made of ahoddy and when his boots

so pathetic In Its slmplefalth, "Ah, If
the Czar only knew J"
Every one within his reach he free
ly discusses, criticise and blames; he
nan suspects that tils generals may be

sariea are rascals, but no thought of
censure ever crosses his mind against
the Ctar. He never for an lnatant

Is no help for him; he goee on doing

pleasure to add
praise to that of
thousands who
. have used It. For
I suffered with ca-
years
tarrh
of the stomach, all
remedies proving value
less for relief. Last spring
I went to Colorado, hop
ing to be benefited by a
change of climate and while there a
I friend advised me to try Peruna. After
using two bottles I found myself very
much improved. The remains of my
old disease being now so slight, I con
sider myself cured, yet for a while I
intend to continue the use of Peruna.
I am now treating another patient
with your medicine. SKe has been
sick with malaria and troubled with
leucorrbaea. I have no doubt that a
cure will be speedily effected."
These are samples of letters re
ceived by Dr. Hartman from the vari
ous orders of Catholic Sisters through
out the United States.
The names and addresses to these
letters have been withheld from re
spect td the Sisters but will be fur
nished on request.
One-half of the diseases which af-
fict mankind are due to some catarrhal
derangement of the mucous membrane
lining some organ or passage of the
body.
A remedy that would act immediate
ly upon the congested mucous mem
brane restoring it to its normal state,
would consequently cure all these dis
eases. Catarrh is catarrh wherever
located, whether it be in the head,
throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys or pel
vic organs. A remedy that will cure
It in one location will cure it In all
locations. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and mat'
fsfactory results from the use of Pe
runa, write at once to ur. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
