Every other powder tested exhibited a much lower strength than the Royal; the average being 33 per cent. less. ' : Every other powder likewise showed the presence of alum or sulphuric acid. The claim that this report shows any other powder of superior strength or purity has been denounced as a falsehood by the Government officers who made the tests. , ROYAL BAKINO POWDER CO., Fashion Xu Afghanistan. Civilization will rejoice in the fact that the queen of Afghanistan has decided to adopt European dress. A fashionable firm in London has forwarded to her majesty four costumes, which I hasten to describe. The material in each case ' Is wool. Her majesty's fondness for flow ers has been respected in the trimming. One" fuchsia dress has a velvet basque with gold fringe and tabbed skirt. A convolvuli 'costume is made up of a vel vet zouave bodice and skirt trimmed With guipure lace. A striking charac teristic of a heather costume is an um brella skirt, while green silk and ivy leaves add to the attractions of the fourth costume. All the dresses are high necked, ' short skirted and silk lined, and in ap pearance are a sort of compromise be tween English simplicity and oriental iplendor. London Cor. New York Sun.

Dablin Excuanse. Explosives That Must lie Shocked. Some explosives, such as dynamite, nitroglycerol, gun cotton, picric acid and the new German military powder, when simply heated, burn quietly if freely exposed, or, if confined, explode only at the spot where heat is applied, without the whole mass taking part in the explosion. According to H. Blitz, this is probably because (hey are bad conductors of their own explosive wave. If, however, the .same substances are . i . i i j. . i i .

NEW-YORK. 53 SERVED IN TWO WARS GRIP ALMOST WON WHERE THE BULLET FAILED. Who Can Look on the Infirmities of a Veteran Without a Feeling of Deepest Sympathy? . From the Herald, Woodstook, Va. There is an old soldier in Woodstock, Va. , who served in the war with Mex- ioo and in the war of the rebellion, Mr. Levi Molnturff. He passed through both of these wars' without a serious wound. The hardships, however, told seriously on him, for. when the grip attacked him four years ago it. nearly killed him. who can look on the in firmities of a veteran without a feeling of the deepest sympathy? His towns' people saw him confined to his house so prostrated with great nervousness that he could not hold a knife and fork at the table, scarcely able to walk too, and as he attempted it, he often stumbled and fell. They saw him treated by the best talent to be had but still he suffered on for four years, and gave up finally in despair. One day, however, he was struck by the account of a cure which had been effeoted by the use of Drt Williams' Pink Pills. He lm mediatly ordered a box and commenced taking them. He says he was greatly relieved within three days time. ' The blood found its way to his fingers and his hands which had been palsied assumed a natural color, and he was soon enabled to use his knife and fork at the table. . He has recovered his strength to such an extent that he is able to chop wood, shock corn and do his regular work about his home. He now says he can not only walk to Woodstock, but can walk across the mountains. He is able to lift up a fifty-two pound weight with one hand and says he does not know what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for others, but knows that they have done a great work for him.' . He was in town last Monday, court day, and was loud in his praises of the medicine that had given so great relief. He purohased another box and took it home with him. Mr. : Molnturff is willing to make affidavit to these facts. , The proprietors of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills state that they are not patent medicine but a prescription used for many years by an eminent practitioner who produced the most wonderful re sults with them, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condi tion of the blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful causes of almost every ilf to which flesh is heir. . The pills are also a specific for the troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, all forms of weakness, chronio constipa tion, bearing down pains, etc. , and in the case of men will give speedy relief and effect a permanent cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or exoesses of whatever nature. They are entirely harmless and can be given to weak and sickly children with the greatest good and without the slightest danger. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, (50 cents a box, or six ' bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenec tady, N. Y. V . , ; . . . Tungsten. ' ' The fact is well known that a mix ture of tungsten with steel imparts to the latter so great a degree of hardness that it readily scratches glass and quartz. Recent investigations have thrown light upon this pomewhat re markable phenomenon that is, a def initely crystallized compound of iron and tungsten is announced as having lately been discovered, the crystals be ing so hard as to be capable of scratch ing topaz. . Tungsten is a brittle white metal, almost as heavy as gold, and the crystals formed by its combination with iron, in the proportion of one atom of iron to two of tungsten, are silver gray and very brilliant. The conclusion ar rived at by experts in this line is that, on tungsten being alloyed with steel, some of the compound just described is formed in the mass, thereby producing the remarkable increase in the hardness of steel and adding to its usefulness.

TO IDENTIFY THEM. THE FRENCH SYSTEM OF MAKING SURE OF CRIMINALS. Dr. Bertillon on His Anthropometrical Method Based on Anatomical Science. Would Enable the Police of All Countries to Hunt Down Malefactors. Dr. Alphonse Bertillon, the author of the French system for the identification of criminals, writes as follows in re gard to the best means for making it of general use by the police of the large capitals of Europe: "The growing ease and rapidity of communication between the great cities of Europe have so lessened distances that the intercourse between the police of the various countries daily becomes more frequent. London, for example, may now be said to extend as far as Paris, and Brussels is practically a suburb of the French capital. In the midst of these daily exchanges of good services where is the officer who has not longed for the creation of an international de scriptiveor distinctive mark, signal eltiques method and language? "In the other branches of human ac tivity, especially in electricity, con gresses have, in proportion to the nec essity, supplied this want of a universal understanding. . It is thus that the elec trical units watt, ampere, volt, etc. have been created and unanimously adopted. Why should not the police of civilized or policed, for it is all one countries do as much for the description and notation of the different shapes of forehead, nose, color of the eye, etc.? "There exist under the name of hip pology whole treatises filled with words of English origin for the description of the coat and the points of the horse. For the description of the human being all seems left to chance. Nothing was attempted in this direction until the ap pointment by Mr. Asquith of the com mission for comparing the different methods of identification and descrip tion. "This commission found at Paris, by the side of a system of measurement which has borne some little testimony everywhere, a very carefully considered method of describing the human body, and the face in particular. There is in this neither invention nor personal pro prietorship.. My intervention has con sisted in transporting and adapting to the wants of the police the procedures of description in use in anatomical sci ences, and particularly in anthropology. "Anthropometry, properly so called, is only a part of that whole knowledge necessary in tracking criminals, and 'its sole aim is to supply a basis of classi fication.' One is able by means of the metrical information supplied by it to classify several hundrd thousand indi vidual notifications. But let me hasten to say that these notifications should themselves always be accompanied by an abstract of particular marks found upon the person examined, and it is this last document much more than the agreement of measurements which is appealed to to give judicial certainty to an ulterior identification. "At Paris photographs of the person in profile and full face are added, which by themselves also afford the certainty of identification. Thus the elements of certainty are not wanting. A photo graph or impression of the ear would alone suffice to establish an identity. It is, as a matter of fact, impossible among 100,000 individuals to find two ears ex actly alike except in the case of twin brothers. "The great advantage of adding to the anthropometrical notification a complete descriptive photograph of a person is that the police are provided with a docu' ment which, in case of a fresh offense, of escape, etc., can be looked to to ren der the greatest possible assistance. "It may be well to add to these ele ments of information, clearly independ ent of one another measurement, par ticular marks and profile photograph which, together, 10 years' experience has shown to be absolutely infallible a fourth element, 'finger tip impres sions' (1 'impression des filigrammes du pouce). It goes without saying that I see no major difficulty in it. But I am afraid that the exercise of the process may at first sight appear much more simple than it really is. In the first place, let me repeat that the finger tip process neither does away with nor re places in any way judicial anthropom etry, for these delineations are so diver sified that they do not offer an adequate element of classification that is a point which no one disputes. ' Therefore the finger tip process should be considered as affording supplementary information only, capable at the most of replacing photography.' ''' "Moreover, does not Mr, F. (Jalton himself say that the examination of these impressions can be properly made only by means of photographic enlarge ments? Then why not photograph the man "himself whose measurements have just been taken? - "I must own, however, that up to the present I have always postponed the full trial of the finger tip process on account of the unpleasantness of sending all my subjects before the court with their fin gers more or less blackened, for every body knows how viscous printing ink is and how difficult to get off. Never theless I have quite, determined, if the process should become customary in England, to petition the minister of the interior and the prefect of police for the requisite authority to add it to the anthropometric description so great is the importance that 1 attach to interna tional uniformity in police communica tions."

' A preacher says that one time while ad dressing about 8,000 children and enter taining them with a variety of stories he thought it might be well to point the mor al of one of them. He had hardly, how ever, begun to say, "Now, this teaches," when a little ragamuffin on the front bench cried out: "Never mind what it teaches. Gi'e's another story." "I learned from lfti-io msinl " hp snirl. "to wrao the moral well in the heart of the story, not to put it as a sting into rne iau. Horn., ... . , A. TEKBIBLU VISITANT., .

Just as the milder weather comes, the strength begins to wane and "that tired feeling" is the complaint of all. . i . . The reason for this condition is found in the deficient quality of the blood. During the winter, owing to various causes, the blood becomes loaded with impurities and loses its richness and vitality. Consequently, as soon as the bracing effect of cold air is lost, there is languor and lack of energy. The cure will be found in purifying and enriching the blood. , , Hood's Sarsaparilla ia the greatest and best spring medicine because it is the greatest and best blood : purifier.
