The same experiment may he per

supposed that very fine needle or pin
alone is suitable. With the prccau-

ccrd even with Il darning needle. The
only point to be explained is how To
lay the pin or needle on the water 50
lightly that it shall not be wottrd.
There are various methods of doing
This.
You may suspend the needle or pin
from TWO loops of thread. one at each
end. gently Withdrawing them when

will. however, be necessary to prevent
the thread in the act of removal dis
placing the needle.

ll adrnit. fake the pin by its point and
let it sink down gently on the water,
releasing it at the moment when the
pin and its reflection in the water
merge into one another An cXccp-
tionally steady hand is needed for this
method.
a more simple plan is to lay the
pin across the prongS of Il fork. which

o'clock in the evening, for MarSeilles

compartments with well-appointed

provided with Slated wooden doors,
which you may bolt within. There is
II door between the compartments,
which may be used in case of IL party
desiring communicating rooms. These
accommodations are naturally close

almost impossible to sleep with the
door closed on account of the bad ven
tilation. The aisle of the car is used
in common by the passengers as
promenade. and especially on a long
Journey it is the rendezvous of all.

CHINESE DIGGING
To Strengthen Defsncss on The Yaiu But
Haven't Fired Shot al Japanese

LONDON, Oct IS A dispiich to the
Central News from Wiju, dated Monday,
says: 1.-The two op2osing armies still face
each other On the banks of the falu river.
The Chinese have NOT fired shot but WORK
night and day Strengthening their defences.
Count Yama gaia, the Jap 'nese commander
in chief is awaiting tie arrival of heavier
artillery before attacking the Chinese posi-
ton. The japanese scouts estimate that
the Chinese force numbers % 900 men.
Scouts brought in detailed information as
to the condition OF the Chi3ese defences,
showing that they are not so strong as first
reports indicated. The Chinese artillery is
shown to be less formable than the Japan
ese supposed. A decisive attack is expected
shortly. Various indications Justify the
belief that the chief stand of the Chinese
will be at Kubenchan."
A dispatch from Toxic says that several
hundred Chinese prisoners taken at the
battle of Ping Yang arrived in Toxic today.
Crowds were in the streets to see the cap
iiyes and followed them from the station 10
the prisons. The crowds were quiet and
orderly, indulQing in no insults or signs of
exultation. The captives were dis
tributed among several military stations.
The Japanese legation in London has re-
ceived advices to the effect that The jap
anese transport steamer, Ariaki Maru. has
arrived ut Yokohama from Hong Kong
The Chinese gunboat left Horg X ing few
hours before the Ariaki Maru, contrary to
expectation, but made no attempt to engage
the transport.

When Smith had finished, Chairman

ASSERTS INDEPENDENCE.
Princeton Says the Game Rust DO Played
Thanksgiving Day or Not at All.

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. 16.-The following
was given out, today: EAT meeting of
the executive committee of the Princeton
Club of Newark one of the largest alumni
associations of Princeton, it was the unani
nous opinion that the time has come when
Princeton should assert her independence
in the face of an effort which Yale and her
supporters are making to dictate
to the Princeton champion team of 1898
when where and under what conditions it
should play the annual game
with Yale. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of the committee (and the commit
tee firmly believes its opinion is an exact
expression of the sentiments of all Prince
ton men in this locality that the efforts of
Yale to abandon Thanksgiving Day, day
which has become historic in foot ball an
nails, is a piece of impertinence and assur-
ance not to be tolerated for single instance
by Princeton. 1t was the unanimous senti-
ment of the committee tina. Princeton should
announce as her ultimatum; Thanksgiving

A Lovers Catechism.

"In the long rubber Of connubial life"
ruhs must come, and the problem Is to
fores>e them and avoid them while it is
yet time. An Italian writer advises the
swain to cross examine the nymph's maid,
if she has one, and her farmers, If she is
landholder, and her coachman and her
late governess. But there is a trifiing
want of chivalry in such an inquest. Bet
ter and more openly fair it would be to
print ON the back Of the lists of dances
used at balls lovers catechism. Cues
tions could be asked about tastes and
ideals Thus, "Do you prefer town or
country?''-a very important question,
whereon may turn domestic tranquility.
Are you lady of decision, or do you like
to make up your mind at the last mo-
ment?'
This is momentous. There are wives
and husbands who lay plans as deep and
as much beforehand as any Molthe, and
who are excessively annoyed if any change
is made in their programme. Others en-
joy the sensation of not being committed
to anything, and if train starts at p.
m. do not know at p. m. whether or not
they mean to take it.-Saturday Review.

and under their vitalizing influence the
downhearted and respondent person soon
begins to feel new life within him, the
ewes sparkle with health, the nerves be-
come strong and steady, the mind regains
its cheerfulness, the pallor and hollow
cheeks disappear and the blood becomes
rich and pure, sending renewed vigor and
health throughout the system.
He feals himself ready for any under
taking: the gloom aud depression have gone,
the step is irm and buoyant and the heart
cheerful with hope and ambition. This is
what Dr. Greene's remedies are doing every
day for these poor sufferers. They are
m king strong, able men out Of weak, ner-
vous sufferers, and surely no greater or
nobler work was ever accomplished.
Physicians have always been in the habit
of prescribing poisons for this disease, and
the harm done by them is incalculsble.
Such poisonous drugs do not in the least
build up and strengthen the system, they
only impoverish the blood, weaken still
more the already exhausted nerves, and
make the patient worse than before taking
them. Common sense will tell all thinking
persons that harmless vegetable remedies
which give renewed strength AMI vigor are
what are required in this, as well as all
chronic and nervous diseases.
Thousands of unhappy sufferers all over
the land are constantly being cured by his
wonderful remedies. If you belong to this
class, do not delay another moment, bat
consult DIR. Greene, take these remedies
yourself and get well. For you will be
cured Just 70 surely as you take them. His
office is at 81 Temple Place, Boston, Mass,
where he consults with sll, free of charge.
Another great blessing to these patients is
the doctors system of letter correspondence.
This enables men all over the United States,
suffering from this disease, to consult him
without leaving their homes, and absolute
" free of charge. Write him Letter stat
ing how you feel, and he will answer it, de-
scribing your complsint thoroughly, telling
what to do to be cured, and the cost of the
necessary medicines.
This system of treatment through letter
correspondence has proved of incalculabie
importance, as thousands of men are being
cured by it who could never afford to come
to the city, but who, by having the medi-
cnes sent them, at the low prices which
the doctor always chirges, are enabled to
be perfectly and perm inently cured. Write
him at once, if you cannot visit him at the
office, 81 Temple Place, Boston, Mass,
and we promise you a speedy and perman-
ent restoration to sound and vigorous
health.
