OPINION OF THE PRESS,

With few exceptions the press of London
and the provinces, of all shades of political
opinion, attack the tone and question the
accuracy of General Komaroff's statement.
1t is supposed the Russian Minister of War
shaped General Komarof's telegram. The
Standard says The Gar has within the
last AZ hours telegraphed to Berlin an ex-
preston of his desire for peace.
GRANTS FOR THE NAVY.
The Government has made large extra
grants of money to the various dockyards
to Enable them to push forward the work
they have in hand. At present England
has about thirty iron clads ready for Ser
vice. The Government will be able next

and increase her Mediterranean and Pacific
squadrons.

GENERAL KoMARoFF's REPORT.
The Russian Embassy at Vienna, has re-
ceived General Komaroff's report of his
fight with the Afghans on the Kushk. Many
Mohammedans fought on the side of the
Russians Especially did the Turcomans
do good service as allies of the Russians.
All the tribes between Kushk and Penjdeh,
and further south towards Herat, have vol
unfairly recognized the sovereignty of Rus
sia The majority of the killed were Moham-
medan Turcomans. General Komaroff says
that he sent Cossacks to capture some Eng
lish officers who, however, saved them
selves by riding quickly away among the
crowd of mounted Afghans.
THE CARS APPROVAL.
The effect of General Komaroffs detailed
statement, which showed that the Afghans
provoked the recent battle, has been weak
ened by reports received by way of Austrian
telegraph stations on the Russian frontier
that Penideh was occupied by Colonel
Alikhanoff on the I'd inst. General Komar-
off states that he was obliged &C.
cupy Penjdeh in order to stoi the
pillaging of the district by Iur"
comans. He also states that the At
ghans had threatened 70 resume of
fensive operations. The Russian Minister
of War has sent congratulatory message
to General Komaroff, and has directed him
to thank the troops in the name of the
Gear, and announce to them that all who
took part in the battle will be rewarded &C
cording to their rank.
PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.
The Russian transports Nostroma and
ST. Petersburg are ordered to proceed to
Vladivostock, avoiding all British posts:
The British men-of-war Neptune and
Sultan have gone to Portsmouth to receive
equipments. The other vessels of the
Channel fleet have gone to Queenstown.
Troops are moving towards Quettah as rap
idly as transport facilities will allow.

How to Make Cheese Puffs.

Crate half pound of any dry, rich
cheese butter dozen small paper cases
or little boxes of stiff writing paper; put
over the fire thick saucepan containing
a gill of water; add two tablespoonful
of butter. and when the water boils stir
in one heaping tablespoonful of flour,
and beat TIE mixture until it cleaves
away from the sides of the saucepan:
then stir In the grated cheese; remove
the paste thus made from the fire, and
let it partly cool; meantime separate the
yolks from the whites of three eggs. and
beat them until the yolks foam and the
whites make a stiff froth; then first stir
the yolks with the paste, and next
lightly mix in the whites; put the mix
ture at once into the buttered paper
cases, filling them only half full, as they
rise very high while being baked; and
bake them in a moderate oven for fifteen
minutes as soon as the puffs are done
put the cases on hot dish covered with
a folded napkin, and serve them very
hot. Served with celery they will make
a course at regular dinner, after the
game; or they may replace a sweet des-
sert at plain dinner.

Preferring His Own Horn.

At popular boarding-house in Winter
ST., Boston, many years ago sojourned
bachelor gentleman of cultivation and
prepossessing appearance, hut addicted
to one disagreeable habit. He would,
while sitting either at the breakfast,
dinner or tea table, deliberately draw
forth This oId-fashionea panaaua@ halud-
kerchief, and applying it to his probos-
els, produce a noise which would over
whelm the sound of an ordinary fish
horn. 1t was a great annoyance to his
fellow-boarders, and as he appeared in
sensible to the disagreeable result of his
performances, it was resolved to give
him a gentle hint that the company had
heard enough. One morning small
but nicely finished tin horn, with a note
attached, was discovered on his plate.
All the boarders were in state of ex-
pectancy. In walked the gentleman,
seated himself, and, apparently sur
prised inspected the horn and then
read the note. The effect was magical.
He rushed from the table to his room,
and in the course of the day babe farewell
to the house. Thenote was suggestion
that, for variety's sake, he would adopt
the little horn for table performances.

When the millionaire's youngest
daughter lost her heart it went into the
possession of a young fellow who had no
money, and who had simply moderate
place in the Office of the Racine PIow
Works. ooh, yes, take her if you
want You don't get anything with her,
though, mind that; not single penny, 4"
was the answer which the sutton got
when he asked the old mans consent,
There was only modest wedding, and
then the couple moved into a little
cottage rented by the husband. "Giye
'em a house? No. Let 'em hustle, 4"
was the way the old man met plea
from the girls mother. didn't we
have to hustle, eh ? Are they any bet

The old man went along and spent
thousands on his famous gelding. The
young couple moved along in hum
drum way like scores of other modest
couples in Racine. The young man
hustled" got around every day, paid
his debts promptly and saved a little
money. Then came little youngster-
boy. Rough old Case got around to
see it; got around oftener after that.
He used to dance the boy on his knee.
"Whatcher goin' to call him? % he

''We thought we'd name him after his
grandpa" said the pretty, young

'See here, young fellow" said the
rough man of money, who started life
as a blacksmith, "here is 100000 for
you. III start you in business"
So now the old man dances his grand
son on his knees, the young man hustles
ON his own account, the young mother
lookes prettier than ever, and Jay-Eye-
Sees nose is completely broken.

BeIlensen, aged 20, suddenly expired, it
was supposed, Of heart disease. She
was buried. TIE life-like appearance of
the body excited much comment which
increased rather than diminished after
burial. The interest grew so intense
that the body was disinterred, having
been in the grave two days and two
nights. IT still bore the same life-ike
appearance. 1t was placed in a room in
which the temperature has been kept
steadily at IS deg. Not the slightest
indication OF decomposition was appar-
ent, and the physicians declared them
selves unable to determine whether Mrs.
Bellensen was alive or dead. She re-
manned in this condition for ten days,
causing the greatest excitement In the
region. At length the physicians de-
cared that she was dead although they
said that no similar case had ever come
under their notice.

A ROMANTIC STORY.
The Full Material for n Most Exciting
Real Life Novel.

A Pittsburg, Pa, letter says: Some of
the people in Pittsburg remember Robert
/ Graves & Son, lumber merchants, who
! failed under suspicious circumstances
! forty-seven years ago. A few weeks be-
fore the failure the head of the firm
bought an unusually large quantity of
lumber on thirty days credit, which he
at once disposed of for cash, making
over $50, 600 out of the transaction. He
attempted to repeat the operation few
days later and was caught in his dis
honesty and arrested. Passing out of
his lumber yard he caught up Ratchet
and buried its blade, as he supposed, in
the skull of the officer who had arrested
him. Hiram Graves, the son, who was
accompanying his father and the officer,
saw the blow struck, and to prevent be-
ing a witness against his father in the
latter's trial for numbering the officer,
fled with him for parts unknown. A
few months after their departure the
gagged to be married left Pittsburg mys-
teriously and never came back again.
Recently Hiram Graves, his wife and
three children came quietly to Pitts
burg to enable Mr.. Graves to pay his
fathers debts. To an old friend Mr..
Graves tells singular story. When
they left Pittsburg, forty-seven years
ago, he and his father went to Canada.
Being traced there by officers they hur-
ried away one night, under the cover of
darkness, and went to California. Young
Graves was followed by his sweetheart
and they were married in Sacramento.
They we're successful and three years
ago had made enough money to pay all
that they owed and a considerable
amount besides. Still fearing that he
would be arrested for numbering the
officer Robert Graves refused to come
back to Pittsburg. Several months
ago he died.
As soon as Hiram Graves could get his
business in a condition making his alb
sence from California for few months
possible, he came East with his family.
Not one of the men whom his father
owed is now living, though in every case
he succeeded in finding some relative to
whom the money and interest so long
due could be paid. The grandchildren
of the richest creditor of Robert Graves
were found in an orphan asylum. The
amount due them, including compound
interest was So, 900. Mr.. Graves found
them in Louisiana. None of the rel
atives Of the creditors were in comfort
/ able circumstances and the money in
every case was a godsend. Every one
has now been paid, and Hiram Graves
and his family will soon return to theil
| Western home.

MODEL BANK DIRECTORS.
n he Rare Methods of the Guardians of
Chester's Little Bank.

TT Home other banks in the country
had q Board of Directors made out of
the kino of stuff the directors of our lit
tie bank are, said a gentleman from
Chester illage, N. Y, defalcations
would be SC qrce. Every director of the
Chester Ban. K is farmer. They go to
the bank eve ry Saturday to see that
things are all right. The cashier is a
man that any enc of the Board would
mortgage his farl to get money to loan
to him on his own security if he wanted
it, and the President they would trust
with anything they had and take his
word.
But when they meet a the bank they
drop all their individuality They are
bank directors then, and they are there
to direct. They don't tal,e the cashiers
word or the Presidents word for any
thing. The cashier don't show them
package and tell them it contains so
and so, and then put it in the safe with
out being asked TO show it up. Not
much. Our directors say, "Fetch out
your books, and empty the vault and
safe" and it is done.
Every envelope is opened and its con-
tents examined and noted. Every bill
is counted, and every com to the last
copper. Then the books are called for,
and they are gone over just the same,
and they've got TO balance, or the direc-
tors will find out why they don't. Once,
in examining the books, it was found
that the cash on hand and the books
didn't agree. There was 25 cents en-
tered on the books which was not on
hand and was not accounted for. Every
package was examined again, and every
dollar reconuted, but still there was the
25-cent deficiency. After an hour or so
spent in fruitless search for the miss
ing money, the President, grown weary,
said:
"Well, gentlemen, as you have found
everything strictly correct, and as this
25-cent discrepancy is evidently the re-
suit OF some little error which We will
find on Monday, I will make the cash
good out of my own pocket, so the books
will balance, and we can adjourn"
Well, not much. The directors
wouldn't have it. No, sir. 1t might be
an error, and it might be something
else, and the directors refused to give
up their examination until everything
was satisfactorily explained. Six times
the safe and its contents were examined
and counted and the books gone over.
On the sixth time the missing twenty
five cents was found in big envelope,
where it had caught in some way in
under loose flap, and was rolled out on
the table. This made everything square
and satisfactory, and the directors
passed on the acts of the officers of the
bank, approved them, and adjourned.
The Chester Bank isn't very big one,
but I'll bet it's got the biggest Board of
Directors of any bank in this country"
said the gentleman from Chester, exul-
family.

A story is told of Naugatuck man
who purchased load of wood OF one of

poor quality and so crooked that he
complained bitterly about it. Finally,
after exhausting his vocabulary, he said ::
"If 1 ever see u meaner load of wood
than this I'll apologize 70 you for what
[ have said" THE man who bought
the wool moved to Westport, and after
several years had passed came home one
night and looked over a load of wood
that had been left in his yard during the
day. He walked around it few times,
and finally went into the house and said
