--latest News From the Far East Not At
All Satisfactory.
LONDON, Nov. 2.-The war scare
caused by the Hong Kong dispatch to
the Times and Globe telling of the rail-
way and other concessions China is sup.
posed to have secretly made to Russia
has been replaced in the public mind by
the alarm felt at the rumors from East
ern quarters that Japan and Russia
have formed or are forming an under
stand ng that is to result to their multi
al benefit. This new feature Of the
complications in the East caused q
really cold chill to pass down the
backs of her majesty's ministers,
and the premier is said to be
shivering still. Be that as it may, there
is much uneasiness in official circles
here and elsewhere and this has Teen
reflected upon the stock exchange and
continental bourses, causing decided
falling of in the prices, particularly OF
Russian, Turkish and Spanish securities.
There seems to be no doubt that Great
Britain, practically isolated, is facing a
crisis of the greatest gravity, and the
end of it does not seem to be in sight.
Nearly all the English newspapers re-
fer seriously to the political crisis. the
apparent isolation Of Great Britain and
the policy pursued by Russia in the far
East, as well as the future steps which
France may take. Even the most sober
minded of the London newspapers have
become alarmed, and people here are
gradually becoming convinced that
British diplomacy has been outmaneuv-
cred by Russia, and that i'll spite Of any
denials the latter country has obtained
important concessions from China and
is prepared to stop at nothing in order
to compel the Japanese to evacuate Chi
nese territory, in accordance with the
terms of the treaty of peace.
In Armenia the situation grows more
grave i'll view Of the spread OF revolution
airy feeling, and the fact that England is
liable to be left alone at any moment to
deal with the sultan and that the latter
will then DO very unlikely to carry out
reforms in Armenia. In this crisis,
some of the English newspapers are
finding consolation in the sympathetic
utterances found in certain American
papers But there is no getting away
from the fact that Great Britain is fac
ing dangerous crisis, although the Of
ficia!s at the foreign Office still profess
to believe that the danger has been
greatly exaggerated: The general opin-
ion, however, is that Europe may be
congratulated if war shall be averted.

run at the parliament Of Man.

In every good sized city there drift
:toRethor number Of individuals who
make speeches that they cannot By,
any stra:ege1n or force get anybody
else to listen ID They must talk or
burst So they usually organize some
kind of talkee-talkee society and turn
themselves on. They feel forced to lis
ten to one another because each in turn
Knows that he will have the exquisite
delight Of forcing the rest to listen 20
him. These talkee -talkee orators hang
upon the outskirts of every reformatory
movement. Sometimes they kill it for
the time. 1t is much better that they
should have an organization Of their
own, where they can talk one another
to death and nobody vii! regret it.
Such an organization appears to be
the one called by the high sounding
name of the Parliament of Man, with a
large P. and NJ. One of the parliament
tarians, at a lste meeting, spoke for re-
ipious tolerated.. He said he never
heard in the church to which he belong
ed a word of intolerance of those who
believed differently. THAT'S a mis-
.ake," cried determined looking man
with gray whiskers. Then other parlis-
1nentarians Kissed.
There was an uproar. Finally one of
the brethren got the floor and said this
was the one place where American citi-
Gems might talk about the things they
agreed on, not those they differed on.
And be clinched matters by adding, IF
anybody thinks he can speak after I get
through he's mistaken.
At later meeting the brethren ex-
messed their views on all subjects, from
divorce to jury service. DR.. Parkhurst,
the man who discovered the New York
policies sly little way of turning penny
now and then, had most stupendous
compliment paid to him by one of the
faithful in the following unique decla-
ration: "The fame of ParkhuRt will
live long after the filthy bones Of his
enemies are hid beneath the green clods
Of an insulted earth. -

GREENLAND'S SUMNER.
Professor Heilprin Corrects Some Popula,
misconceptions About It.

Professor Heilprin Corrects Some Popular
misconceptions About It.
AS with many of the foreign countries,
there is wrong impression existing in
the minds even Of we'll bred persons
with reference to the nature Of the pen
insula of Greenland. It is supposed to be
a cherries waste Of ice and snow, and
indeed a land of desolation. On first ac-
quaintance the country does not seem
calculated to inspire enthusiasm, but
this feeling soon wears away and the
returned traveller from Greenland is
smitten with "the arctic fever,' the
principal symptom Of which is long
ing to return to these northern shores.
Professor Angelo Heilprin, in his inter
esting account of the Peary relief expe
dition conducted by him, thus speaks of
Greenland:
"Once the foot has been set upon the
mirrored rocks the charms Of this garden
spot one by one unfold themselves. The
little patches of green are aglow with
bright flowers, rich III the colors which
a bounteous nature has provided. The
Botanical eye readily distinguished
among these mountain pink, the dwarf
hododendron, several pieces of heath,
the c1owfoot, chickweed and poppy,
with their varying tints Of red, white
and yellow. Gay butterflies fit through
the warm sunshine, casting their shad-
ows over forests of diminutive birch
and willow.
"Here and there a stray bee huns IL
search Of sweets among the pollen
grains, while, from afar, woven through
the music of gurgling rills and brooks,
come the melodious strains Of thousands
Of mosquitoes, who ever cheerfully lend
their aid to give voice to the landscape.
Above this peaceful scene tower the dark
red cliffs of basalt, which from a height
Of 1900 feet look down OH a sea of
Mediterranean loneliness, blue as tie
waters Of Villafranca and calm as the
surface Of an interior lake.. Over its
bosom float hundreds of icebergs, the
output of the great Jacobshavn glacier,
30 miles to the eastward, scattered like
hocks of white sheep in pasture.
"Such was the summer picture Of the
region about Disco az it was found by
the writer in two successive seasons.
There was little of that Greenland look
about it which we habitually associate
with the region, nothing Of those terrors
which to the average mind reflect the
qualities Of the arctic world.

TIE YELLED WARBLER.
a Street Singer That Pussled the French
Capital For Three Months.

"a Street singer That Pushed the French
Capitol For Three Months. "
Once, and once only. was it given tc
Paris to be puzzled by a street singer.
the apparition only lasted three months.
but while it lasted it was most perplex-
ing to us. One evening all the loungers
ON the boulevards, who were slipping
their bee>. Or "strangling parrot, :" as
the French phrase hath it to describe
the process of imbihing dose OF that
subtle poison,s absinth, were mildly
bored by observing the approach of three
street musicians. One man tcundled a
piano, q second carried a violin end q
third; a tall, slight woman in deep
mourning, her Grape veil sweeping over
her face, took mp her station between
them. They paused and prepared fol
action, whereupon many people, know
ing the vileness and discord OF street
music, made ready to leave, when to
the utter amazement Of all, to the &C:
compartment of two fairly good instru.
ments, arose in the night air an exqui.
sitely modulated and very powerful fe
male voice, singing, with heartbreak
in every note, the wild wall of Traviata
over her approaching death, "Gran Dio,
morir 81 giovane."
Perhaps the voice gained by the sur
prise Of the public, perhaps it was aided
by the Stiffness of the sultry mir, but
certainly it sounded most divine. Thun-
ders Of applause and rain OF coin, both
gold and silver, rewarded the trio's ef'
forts, but they never gave but two songs
per evening and then disappeared. The
adventurous men who followed the sup
pie grace * the woman's tall figure re.
turned discv4xfited, scared away by the
truculent aspect Of her two companions.
During that whole summer the
strange band would reappear every
night, ana every night would reap q
harvest, but when the summer departed
they, too, vanished and never again re;
appeared. The Yelled Songstress, as she
was called, came from the darkness and
vanished into the night, and who she
was or where she vanished is a mys-
terry. OF course the police knew, but the
archives of the prefecture are sacred
from the gaze of the profane, and as
that is the case, and as Paris forgets as
speedily as she adores wildly, we had
the arithnetical puzzle, Inaudi, the
lightning calculator, to distract our at.
tention that autumn in front of the cafe.
60 the Yelled Songstress sank out Of
sight, and the waves of oblivion have
closed over her now and forever. Paris

Significance of Fashion.

No one but German could have
made study Of the fashion plates that
represent women's style Of dressing for
the past century and found a subject
for metaphysical philosophizing in
them. Cornelius Gurlitt, however, has
done lust that. To the ordinary mind
fashions are governed by mere freaks
and whims, restless desire for change.
chiefly in the interest of the dry goods
merchants, so that they can dispose Of
more goods.
But Gurlitt discovers something far
different and deeper. One of the phil.
osophical facts he .easons out is that
there can be no fixed dress in pro-.
eressive nation. The Chinese never
change their style of costume. Neither
do the tribes of Africa or the original
American Indians. The Turks have a
national costume, but even that is yield
ing to the inroads Of western ideas.
Russian peasants had national dress.
That, too, is going by the board, show.
ing that Turkey and Russia are being
modernized. Among the real nineteenth
century peoples, such as the French,
English and Americans, fashions change
with such restless, Kaleidoscope rapid
itv that he would be brave man indeed
who would wear last years plug hat
to church.
That is not ALL Herr Gurlitt has dis:
covered that fashion represents for its
period the prevailing moral and social
sentiment of the time. The French rev.
olution favored liberty, freedom Of body
as we'll as soul. Then the fashion Of
women's dress went back to the classical
DAYS of Greece ."For a whole genera.
ton women wore no corsets, or very
slight ones, not COMPRISING their
waists Then came Napoleon on the
scene. He stifed liberty and put the
iron clamp Of despotism on the human
mind. Behold, women began to wear
tight laced corsets again. "The waist
sank slowly down from the bosom to
the hips says Gurlitt, and there was
a going back to the fashions of the days
when kings were believed to rule by
divine right. If tight corsets and re-
straint in dress accompany restraint on
human thought and lack Of real liberty,
then this is not very free age or coun-
try after all. unfortunately this inter-
esting writer stops just short of telling
Us what the big sleeves and haircloth
skirts of tho present day mean. 8

Condensed Food.

One lesson to be learned FROM the
Japanese soldiers in the late war is the
important one Of carrying food supplies
in packages of very small compass.
Never before in the movements of any
army has the custom prevailed to any
great extent Of carrying second, or
food, belt around the soldiers body,
along with his cartridge belt. It was
shown that beef capsules, and also tea
capsules, could thus be conveyed at lit
tie inconvenience on rapid marches.
The beef capsule, or cartridge, when
dropped into tin of hot water, made
nourishing soup or broth. The tea cap
sule yielded good cup Of that beverage.
It has been found possible to compress
q good sized loaf of bread into cube .
or inches square. It becomes thus very
hard, but when it is broken into
bowl of soup this compressed bread re-
sumes it's ordinary size. Roast beef has
been compressed in the same way till
it is as hard as an aged bologna sausage.
In this condition the soldier grinds it
up in a sausage mill, and it comes out
in shreds and small bits, ready to be
eaten.
The compressed food enterprise is
only in its infancy. When properly de-
veloped, it will be of invaluable aid to
campers and explorers as we'll as armies.
Perhaps through its aid travellers will
yet find both the north and south poles
It is ridiculous to talk of war between
England and the United States. They
may make faces at one another-ugly
faces, too-the lion may growl and the
eagle may shrek, but England will
think of several things before she bumps
up really hard against this country.
What would British dukes and lords do
to bolster up their rotting and ruined
old houses and fences if they couldn't
get any more American wives? What
would become of the $500, 100000 Brit
ish investments in the United States, on
the dividends from which thousands Of
English people, retired clerks, WIDOWS
and spinsters now live comfortably!
And especially what would become Of
the Canadian railroads that by courtesy
of this government are permitted to
cross points Oh United States soil, pass
ing dutiable freight straight through in
bond? The Grand Trunk railway touches
United States soil at Portland The Ca
madam Pacific touches it at several
points In two minutes after a declara-
ton Of war was issued American troops
would take possession of the roads at
these points, and not pound Of freight
or passenger could move by. The
whole railway system of Canada would
be crippled in an hours time.
