Unexpected.

A few years ago, when "Hold the
Fort was one of the new and popular
hymns, the superintendent of a Sun
day school in Connecticut town took
a great dislike to the song. After hear
ing the story, readers may be disposed
to think that his antipathy was not
without reason.
It was at children's day exercise
Of the Sunday school The arrange
ments We're for the whole school, head
ed by the superintendent, to make a
triumphal entry into the church, in
which the audience were already seat
ed Accordingly, a hundred or more
boys and girls formed in line, each
class headed by it's teacher, and carry
ing banners, marched in at one of the
side entrances. AS they marched, they
sang, "Hold the Fort" The superin-
tendent, smiling and perhaps a little
pompous, led the way.
At the moment Of entering the
church they We're beginning the second
stanza, which runs:
See the mighty host advancing,
Satan leading on.
The audience was quick to appreciate
the righteousness of the situation, and
ripple amusement went through the
church. Several in the procession stop
ped singing and smiled. The awk-
wardness of lis position daWned on the
superintendent and he turned very red.
Some of the children, seeing their ell
ders smiling laughed outright.
A complete breakdown was imnli-
nent, when one Of the teachers began
to sing Coward, Christian Soldiers"
This was Immediately taken UP by the
whole school, and a fairly successful
entry was made. Hold the Fort has
never since been a favorite with thar
Sunday school.

! SELLING TO ROTHSCHILDS.
Smelters Send Their Gold to Eng
land Instead of to the
Home MintS.

Denver, Col, May 1.-The Rocky
Mountain News today says: The gold
receipts at the Denver mint have fallen
off heavily in the past month in spite of
increased production, and there has been
no increase in receipts at other minis and
assay offices to account for the discrep>
ancy. The mystery has been solved.
however The smelters have been SELL
ing their product to the agents of the
Rothschids and others interested in the
recent bond sale instead of placing it in
the mint. The same agents have been
purchasing the larger retorts sent up
from the principal gold mines, thus keep
ing a considerable quantity over and
above the slnelter product out of the mint.
These facts are youched for by men who
are in a position to know what is occur
ring in the inner circles.
The receipts at the mint during the
month past have not exceeded one-half
the expected amount. The smelter peo>
pie DO their business through New York
agents and no doubt obtain a slight adj
vance over the mint price. To them it
is purely a business transaction, AID they
of course sell it in the best market

GIVE UP PORT ARTHUR.
Gear Firm in His Determination that
Manchuria Must be Left
Intact.

Washington, D. c.. May 4.-Informa-
ton has reached Washington to show
that, in response to Russian intimations,
Japan has abated her claims to the ces,
sion of Chinese territory in Manchuria
and now offers to demand only the abso,
lutte cession of the extremity of the Port
Arthur peninsula as far north as, and in,
GLIDING. Talien Wan. In return for this
REIMBURSEMENT of territory, Japan will
demand = considerable increase of the war
indemnity originally fixed at 2OO,OOO,OOO
taels. 1t is feared that this concession
will not be sufficient to meet the demands
of Russia, which will insist upon an en-
tire abandonment of Lao Tung peninsula.
The Russian reasoning is that by the oc>
cupation of Port Arthur the Japanese
would dominate Manchuria as effectually
as if she held the nominal title to the
province.
base and opening great commercial port
at fallen Wan, the Japanese would CON
meet the latter by rail with New Chwane
on the line of the projected Chinese rail
road from Pekin to Moukden, and
divert the entire trade of New
Chwang and Moukden, at least in
winter, when all of the other Manchurian
ports are closed. 1t would also be impos,
sible for Russia to locate a Western ter
m;nal port for the Siberian railway any,

military point of view not only Manchuria
and the Gulf of Pc Chi Ii but also Wei~

Nothing is known here respecting the
reported failure of the peace affiliations,

forerunner of nervous prostration,
with all the horrible suffering that
term implies. That Tired Feeling and
Nervousness are sure indications of an
impure and impoverished condition Of
the blood. The craving of the system
for help can only Is met by purifying
the blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
one great blood purifier. It expels all
impurities, gives vitality and strength,

The Art of Converting.

The power OF originating and taking
part in intelligent and pleasant con
versati0n is il most useful and valuable
gift which is worthy of cultivation, and
should by no meaus be neglected by
persons possessing education and cul-
tnre. Agreeable conversation is really
u of the p~leasanteSt pleasures we
have, and b mar or WOman who talks
we'll on n variety of subjects, and is not
only possessed. of opinions, but also the
power to express them in well chosen
language without either affectation er
in any society. -
The power of conversation giSss con
fidence to its owner, who is therefore
at ease, and is admired as beirg bright
and clever, even in the company of
those Of much higher rank than he or
she is accustomed to associate with.
Reading makes Il full man, writing
an exact man, and conversation a ready
man." says Bacon. To qualify ones
self for enjoyment of the society Of the
cultged and refined, it is necessary to
have some knowledge Of the arts and
Sciences Of standard authors, and of
current literature and events. Persons
who question intelligently and who lis
ten carefully will learn much.
Talking of ones self and gossip Of all
sorts should be avoided, for the general
effect is to bore the company and make
ones self unpopular. A golden rule as
to the subject Of conversation is to
choose one which will interest your
nearer. You may have an all absorbing
hobby, but do not air it unless you
think it is equally interesting to your
companion, or no matter how cleverly
you talk, you will utterly fail to give
pleasure.-Home Notes.
