Marasmus is a wasting that occurs in babies, generally in their first year. Without any 18 cover able cause, a child with in aras mus not only fails to gam, but begins begins to lose weight slowly but stea ily. At the same time, the bones continue to grow,. and the e come at - the usual time.. The poor child takes on a distressing appearance appearance ; he becomes almost a skeleton, although sometimes e abdomen is distended. The child is always hungry because because it is starving. It cannot as sililate any food, and is as hungry a few minutes after eating as it was before. It cries most of the time, with a fretful, whining cry. Sometimes Sometimes a very small baby will s •eep incessantly instead of crying. Ihat is on the whole unfortunate, for a crying child is likely to get treatment treatment more promptly. Although marasmus is met- with, occasionally in well-to-do fami ies, it usually attacks artificially-fed infants, infants, in charitable institutions, an it is very rare among breast-ie Vftldren ' anywhere. .Each case o marasmus must be carefully studied, studied, for treatment that cures one child quickly, often has no effect on another. Many cases respond to a breast-milk diet. Some begin recover when alkalies are added o the diet. In any event, the parents should seek the best of medical advice, advice, for it is sometimes necessary to make several experiments before the proper treatment is found. --, Apart from its feeding, the mar as-' mic child needs the greatest care.

Treaties for the preservation o- peace seem in Europe to be < ! ers of war. A striking illustration j is furnished by the present international international conflagration m the U World, 'frhich surpasses in its extraordinary extraordinary development even the wildest flights of the imagination of any of those novelists who have attempted to portray it m Wva°cm Had it not been for Itus.ia treaty obligations to Servia sh would not have drawn the sword on the latter's account against the Dual Empire. France was bound by treaty to take up arms ^juppor of Russia, in the event of the latter becoming involved m a strugg with Germany. England joined in the fray against Germany because of her treaty promises to trance and Russia ; also because of her solemn solemn undertaking to maintain even at the point of the sword, the neutrality neutrality of Belgium. ' Not, that it should be for one moment imagined from this that treaties are inviolable, a nd , they are always adhered to by the signatories. Far from it. there are so many more treaties broken than kept that the majority of them are hardly worth the vellum on which they are engrossed. But whether broken or observed, they seem to be somehow or other always productive of strife or war.

It will not be the first time that the wild Irish yell and the skirl of the Scottish pipes have sounded along the Meuse, but in previous times the Scotch and Irish regiments were fighting against the English. They were Royalist refugees, § in g under the French flag. At Fontenoy, where the Irish Brigade, fighting with the French forces under Marshal Saxe, i 1745, won a victory over the Duke of Wellington's British forces. In 1705 British troops again marched through Brabant under Marlborough, Marlborough, and until 1710 the English and the French engaged in Flanders and Brabant and the French border land. One of the features of this war was the capture of Lille by Marlborough, in 1708. The next year Marlborough and Prince Eugene Eugene won the battle of Malplac- quet from the French. Napoleon at _Waterloo. In T792 Jemappes was the scene of battle, the French under Dura Dura au riez defeating the Austrians, driving them in retreat back across the Meuse.

An erroneous erroneous impression seems to exist m Priests Stir Peasants and Soldiers to Religious Fervor. Two mighty forces have been utilized utilized by. the*'Russian authorities to stimulate zeal for war--religious fervo-r and racial solidarity- The entire priesthood of the coun- a-cting under orders from the try, generation in the hare of powder smoke and the elash of arms, have met the German invader with the spirit and gallantry of their fore fathers. Holy Synod in St. Petersburg, is encouraging the war spirit, an Russian peasants are very , largely under the influence of -their spiritual spiritual advisers. In this way the masses masses of the people, and through them the common soldiers of the Czai s army, are gained as eager supporters supporters of the war against Germany, which is now -held up to -execration as iSe sworn foe of the Orthorox Church. Every body of mar cluing Russian troops is preceded by a priest of the Orthorox Church who,, m flowing flowing beard and long black garment, is a striking figure. The priest carries carries a cross or is attended by a cross-bearer who bears the burden of the holy image for him M.htavy bands play sacred music alternately with the barbaric march music that suits the warriors of martial blood.. It is not merely war ; it is holy crusade on which the soldiers of Russia - feel that they are engaged. Altogether it is an impressive spectacle spectacle this of Russia under arms. They' do not look like barbarians, these soldiers of the Czar. They ^are mostly simple-minded, docile peasants, peasants, full of religious ardor, which will turn them into fanatical fighters when the decisive moment arrives, They may be slightly inferior inferior in training, but they are the best raw fighting material m any country in Europe, and the hard experience of war will transform them into a host of the most- formidable formidable troops in the world. L >_/ El M -A -A P - - £ £ J T 1 some quarters that the world _ Un lan" indicates a tribe or nationality, nationality, similar to the word "Cossack. This is not so. The Cossack is born a Cossack. He is of Tartar origin, whose able- bodied men are enrolled m the armies armies of the Tsar. The word Lh- land" simply denotes a certain t-J-pe of cavalryman in the German army. The Uhlan is a lancer. There are 26 regiments of Uhlans in the German German -army--19 from Prussia, three from Saxony, two from Bavaria, and two from Wurtemburg--witn a total strength on a peace footing of approximately 25,000. These regiments regiments are ranked as heavy cavalry, and are used principally as independent independent cavalry, forming the cavalry cavalry screen. This was their employment employment in the Franco-Prussian War, and from the reports commg from Belgium, it would seem that the Uhlans are still being used as the vanguard of the German aimj. The Uhlan is armed with lance, sabre, carbine and pistol. He is well mounted and his equipment is especially designed for the purpose for which he is employed--ready to fight or run, ride down outposts or scouting parties of the enemy, har- rass his flanks and screen the movements of his own main. body. The word "Uhlan" itself is of Polish origin and denotes a lancer. The Uhlans in the German army wear the czapka, the peculiar flat topped headdress which was worn by the Polish Uhlans, and which to this day is the distinguishing mark in the uniforms of the lancer regiments regiments of Great Britain" and other European countries. The Uhlans during the Franco- Prussian War made a name for themselves for their quick dashes and raiding expeditions and the ruthless manner in which they aged the country through rav which they went. The patrol of Uhlans who tried to gallop into Liege, according to reports from Brussels, and capture the Belgian General Staff, was acting true to the Uhlan reputation for daring work.
