RUSSIA WILL FIGHT.
Ifshe can Induce England to Fight
With Her.

VARNA, April Notwithstanding
the peaceful tendencies reported from
st. Petersburg and London, the aspect
Of the situation, viewed from Constanti-
nople, still points to war. Russia
limit of the British forbearance before
she will consent to conclude any ar
rangements for arranging war. Avery
shrewd Russian merchant, who has ex-
tensive dealings in Southern Russia.
remarked to me this morning: Do you
think we have moved 10000 men to
the shores of the Caspian to obtain
merely strip of desert? Don't put faith
in newspaper reports.
Wemean war unless England timidly
grants all we want. As for Komaroh,
the government will nevor recall him.
The merchant further assured me that
the authorities at Odessa had received
instructions to stop the expectation of
cattle that were intended to proceed
beyond Constantinople. Shipmasters
arriving from Russian ports all speak
of the immensity of military prepara-
tions and of the i'll feeling against Eng
land. The Porte still hesitates to show
its hand as to neutrality. The official
press, evidently under instructions,
speaks guardedly. Nevertheless the
notes of certain European powers
respecting the passage of the Dardanel-
les remain unanswered.
LONDON, April 2l.-The lobby was
excited over Mr.. Gladstone's statement
in the House of Commons which is con-
sidered to amount to an evacuation OF
the Soudan. His repeated references
to the necessity of holding troops in
the SOudan for service whenever
wanted indicate that England is on the
verge of war. Such words by a respon-
sible minister, it is thought, will soon
make peace impossible. 1t is believed
that Sir Peter Lunlsden's dispatch is
certain to influence British war feeling
to an alarming degree. !
Despite the fact that a credit of sos,
600, 900 means an increase of six pence
in the income tax, it is undoubtedly
true that the bulk of the conservative
and liberal member of the House OF
Commons will vote for the credit cheer
fully.

Students Songs.

There is no more pleasing music than
these jolly songs as sung by students;
and any one who has ever had the OPP
portunity of hearing these songs by
college societies, glee clubs, or by groups
of students will not be surprised to
learn that new edition of Moses
Kings collection has Just been issued.
Over 30,0 900 copies have already been
sold. This remarkable sale is probably
owing to the fact that nearly all these
songs are to be found in no other col
lection. They are all fresh and copy
righted, and are the songs actually
sung at all the colleges at the present
time. There are sixty songs, with
music. The book is handsomely prints
ed, sheet-music size, and is sold for
fifty cents. The editor is VIM. HI.
Hills, recent graduate of Harvard; and
the publisher is Moses King, ofCam-
bridge, Mass, widely known as editor
of "King's Handbook Of Boston,"
Harvard and its Surroundings" etc.

The smoke from the charcoal works
at Elk Rapids, Mich, which was FORM
erly wasted, is now manufactured into
chemicals by being blown by immense
fans into purifier, from which it even
tually comes into the form of an acid
that is as clear as amber. From the
acid are produced acetate of lime, al
cohol, tar and gas. Each cord of wood
contains $4,000 cubic feet of smoke; q
800, 900 feet of smoke handled every
twenty-four hours is said to produce
1900 pounds acetate of lime, 200 gal
Ions of alcohol, and 25 pounds of tar.

Bulwer Littons Bridge.
Where it Touches the Shores and the
Great Columns in Midstream.

"What . beautiful bridge between old agehud
childhood il religion. How intuitlvey the child be-
gins with prayer and worship entering life, and
how intutiyey, on quitting life, the old turns
back to prayer and worship, putting himself again
side by side with the infant" remarks Sir E. Buwer
Lytton, in his Strange Story
Yes, but between its distant abutnents the bridge
OF life has many high and awful arches, through
which the wild waters dash aud roar in wrath and
desolation. Prayer and worship alone do not sus-
tain these. Natures solid rocks must lie unshaken
beneath, and human art and skill must rear and
solidify the structure overhead Gods will Is best
exemplifed in the laws Fl He has made for the crea-
lures whorc He has placed under their control.
Neither the childs trustful Our Father nor the old
mans "Forget me not in the midst of mine inarmi-
ties" will alter this by the weight of single grain
Science and art frst-then faith and prayer-ls
the order Of Heaven itself. Divinity heals through
its agents, and those agents are the discoveries of
man not the vague announcements of prophets or
seers. Is life burden to you? Does time drag?
Is your power to cope with lfes problem and duties
weakened? You are not we'll. Your blood is slug,
gish and tainted perhaps; or some important organ
Is torpid or overworked. This fac. may have taken
the form OF dyspepsia rheumatism, gout, malaria
pains in the stomach. chronic headache or any of
you, as fresh air invigorates those who have been
shut up in damp, fetid cells. 1t is powerful pure
delicious, scientific, safe-the keystone of the CEN
tral arch of the bridge of life.

1t is curious fact that one of the
most famous poems in our language ap-
peared originally in q magazine that
seldom touches poetry at all, and the
same periodical, after an interval of
sixty-six years, now brings out another
poem very similar in theme. Bryant's
"Thanatopsis" was printed in the North
American Review for September, 1917.
The May number of the Review, just
out, has poem by Robert Buchanan on
"the New Buddha." The critics found
fault with Mr.. Bryant's poem on the
ground that it was un- Christian; it re-
mains to be seen what they will say Of
Mr.. Buchanan's. The question, 'sHas
Christianity Benefited Woman?' is ably
discussed in this number by Mrs Eliza
beth Cady Stanton and Bishop ]. L.
Spalding. President ]. l.. Pickard
writes on "Why Crime is Increasing"
and David Dudley Field on industrial
Cooperation" while Prof Andrew f.
West, of Princetown, contributes an ar
ticle ofgreat clarness and strength on

Payn, the English novelist, discusses

The Dreaded Cholera Makes Its Ap-
pearance In Spain.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 26.-At the quar-
tealy meeting of the Illinois state board
Of health held here today DIR. .Rauch,
the secretary, in his report spoke Of in
formation having been received from
private sources that Asiatie cholera
existed in Paris up to January 10; that
it had since broken out in southern
Russia; that it had appeared in VAL
encia, Spain, in March, and that there
was danger of its introduction into the
Mediterranean uy ship from Bombay.
In view of these repots the board con-
sidered the question Of maritime

EIonement and FailS

A Roller Rink Professor Plans an
Elopement and Fails.
FosToRIA, o., April 20.-Some two
months ago James Strouse of this city
erected roller rink at Bowling Green,
O., which, under his personal manage
ment, received liberal patronage. Aside
from the arduous duties of managing a
skating rink Strouse found time to in
gratiate himselfin the affections of Miss
Minnie West, II sprightly young miss of
fifteen summers and reputed heiress
to several thousand dollars.
Yesterdays summer sun added so
much warmth to their affections, and
realizing that delays are dangerous"
they concluded to elope. Reaching this
city last night by late train, they were
driven to the residence of his father,
. a short distance north of here. A tele-
gram soon followed asking for their ar
rest. An officer repaired to the Strouse
residence, where he found the young
miss, but her lover had made himself
scarce. She was brought to this city.
She stated that it was their intention
to take an early train this morning for
Michigan, were they were to have been
married. The train which they in
tended to take took her minus her. low
