II concessions have been made to other
powers. 1t has been suggested that the
Japanese and British occupy Wei-Hai-
Wei jointly.
The situation at Kaio-Chou bav is
unchanged Germany remains unyield-
ing and the Chinese councils are di-
vided as to whether it should be peace
or war with Germany. China regards
Russia as her only friend and asks
her advice alone. British influence is
nil, having suffered greatly through
the failure of the loan negotiations.
China is now negotiating a loan with
Russia. The latter demands the dis
missal of the British railroad engineers
in north China and 1t is probable thai
it will be granted. The German drill

Open Windows.

That Americans as a general thing SUI
fer from living in overheated rooms must
be conceded, and perhaps we would be
harder, less liable to colds, and mala-
dies which follow in their wake, if we be-
leved more firmly in the beneficent effect
OF open windows. No one taking daily
trips over ferries, or frequent short jour
neys by train can fail to observe that
many people are comparatively indiffer-
ent to impure air so long as it is warm
air, and the heavy, vitiated atmosphere
OF cabins and railway cars, distressing
to lovers of fresh air, apparently disturbs
very little those who go about enduring
its discomfort until it fails to be an an
noyance to them.
Plenty Of fresh air in our living rooms,
in our public conveyances, in our bed
chambers, our schools, and our churches,
would insure us longer lives and more
joy in living. The children who are
warmly dressed, and sent out of doors to
play in all weathers, have rosy checks,
bright eyes, and a look of genuine health.
They are very different from the palid
little house plants on whom the cold air
is never allowed to blow.
We may avoid draughts, and protect
ourselves from the effect of sudden chill
by the judicious choice of warm wool for
under-clothing, and by loose and we'll
made garments which confne no vital
part. But let us have the open window,
if not all the time, then at intervals
through the day, so that the house may
be flooded with pure air, and noxious
germs be put to fight
In many houses there is constant and
distressngly evident odor of dinners past
pervading the atmosphere. The corcen-
trated scents and essences of vegetables

furniture, fill the carpets and curtains,

which should belong to every beautifully
appointed home. Ten minutes airing
a house three times a day, after each
meal would be sufficient to exercise the
ghosts of departed dinners, and give
every room freshness and sweetness. No
odor should be suffered to permeate a
house except that sweet fragrance which
comes from absolute inviolate cleanli-
ness, and from flowers which are agree
able to every sense.

In the Beginning

The earth was created, and all amino,
and vegetable life. Finally man was
formed from very commonplace mato
rial and authority given him to rule everv
thing in sight, including his wife. TI.
changes in society have somewhat mod;
fed the uthority of his male descendant
as regards absolute rule over their wiveS'
and in some cases the situation has hcen,
reversed. This point is immaterial, how

however, we are iain to infer that sin
was the primary cause of clothing; while
at the date Of this writing clothing. that
is, ill-ftting clothing, is a fruitful source
of much sin, on account OF being an
in.pirer of both plain and ornamental
profanity.
We next read that men clothed them.
selves with the skins of animals. These
garments, while, no doubt, servceable
and comfortable, at least in cool weather
would suffer in comparison with the
next production in our line, which we
recall, namely, "Joseph's coat OF MANY
colors." This was probably a verv
stylish garment, and right here we viii
say that the fabrics we shall display on
our counters this spring are beautiful
with rich and harmonious blendings of
many colors, both pleasing to the eve
and becoming to the wearer. We are

Grant ON the Battle of the Wilderness.

The general in chief, Grant talked
for some time with officers of the staff
about the results of the battle of the
previous days, He said in this connec-
ton: All things in this world are rela-
tive, While we were engaged in the
Wilderness could not keep from think
ing of the first fight I ever saw-the
battle of Palo Alto. AS looked at the
long line of battle, consisting Of 5000
men, | felt that General Taylor had such
fearful responsibility resting upon him
that | wondered how he ever had the
nerve to assume it, and when, after the
fight, the casualties were reported and
the losses ascertained to be nearly 60 in
killed, wounded and missing, the en-
gagement assumed a magnitude in my
eyes which was positively startling.
When the news Of the victory reached
the States, the windows in every house
hold were illuminated, and it was
largely instrumental III making General
Taylor president Of the United States.
Now, such an affair would scarcely be
deemed important enough to report to
headquarters. " He little thought at
that moment that the battles then in
progress would be chiefly instrumental
