and whence her men-of-war will be
able at pleasure to sally out into the
Atlantic. 1t certainly says a great deal
in favor of Russia's energy and persist
ence in certain directions that this
scheme should now be on the high road
toward being fully and successfully
carried out, although the idea was
mooted for the first time in the Russian
press somewhere about three years ago.
We may now await an extension of the
Russian fleet. In case of need, Russia
will be able to remove her entire Bal
tic fleet to the Murman coast and de-
fend the Baltic ports by means of gum
boats and torpedo boats.
AS Cronstadt does not meet the re-
qurements of the Russian navy in the
Baltic, the port of Jibau, on the Cour-
land province coast, is slowly but sure.
ly being converted into first-class
naval station at considerable expense.
Whether this work is intended to me-
mace Germany or Sweden Is not yet
quite evident, but there can be no doubt
that the new port of Libau, when fin
ished, will be a great factor. in the event
of hostilities on the Baltic. This port
is practically free from ice all the year
and 1t bids fair to become a naval sta
tion of the very first importance in the
western part of the Russian empire.
Millans of rubles have of late years
been expended on the port Of Libau,
and it is now intended to rebuild two
moles, one of which is 1900 feet in
length. This work will be begun this
year and will continue until 1904. Two
hundred thousand pounds, English,
have been assigned to defray the cost
of this work. A portion of this amount
is also to be spent in deepening the
channel of the harbor from twenty feet
to twenty-six feet.

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, March 3.--Some of the bull
traders bid up prices of specialtes this
morning and carried the general list with
them in an effort to renew the bull cam
paign. But there was no outside interest
and the efforts of the leaders were not
seconded. The market drifted listlessly
for the rest of the day, sometimes up and
sometimes down and some part of the
early gains remained for most stocks at
the close. Buying of New York Central
in the last half hour on the receipt OF the
news from Albany that the assembly had
passed measure assuring the legality
of the bond issue for the consolidation
with the Lake Shore caused a stiffening
of the market In the closing dealings.
There were long periods during the day
when business was almost stagnant and
prices move very sluggishly The mar
ket was in the hands of small traders
and reflected no condition of general bus
mess beyond the feeling of uncertainty
regarding the Cuban question. Large op-
orators and the general public are evil
IDENTIFY out OF the market by reason OF
this same uncertainty and the room trad
ers seek to move prices by all sorts OF
rumors and surmlses many of which orig
mate In the board room and are denied
before they get beyond its doors. There
was serene disregard of attempts to
precipitate new phase of the Cuban
question in advance Of the formal report
of the Maine board of inquiry which is
looked to to definitely fix the status of
the question. Total sales were 29i. 100
shares.

WINE FROM LEAVES.

A French chemist has conceived the idea
of making wine from the leaves of fruit
trees. He thinks that the flavor of the
fruit of shrubbery Is generated in the
leaves and passes from them into the
fruits. Also that the pleasant taste of
the apple, pear or grape is prepared In
the leaves of these respective plants, al
though 1t may be less noticeable than in
smaller shrubbery, such as the black cur
rant and other low bushes.
To make the wine he crushes the leaves
and places them In water containing fif-
teen per cent. of sugar and the necessary
yeast for Preventative. Grape and ap-
pie leaves have been used, the work be-
ing accomplished In a fermenting vat.
When apple leaves are used there is a
strong odor of apples as the process ad-
vances, and when the fermentation is fin
ished and 1t has settled a straw-colored
liquid is obtained, which smells and tastes
like the best wine. When vine leaves are
used the results are even better.-New
Ideas.

the North.

From the London Globe.
While the attention of Europe has
been centred mainly on the progress of
events in the Far East, Russia has been
silently laying the foundations of an
ice-free naval base on her northwest
ern coast. This long -talked-of naval
station in the north of Russia is to be
connected with the railway system of
the empire by railway running from
the harbor of Ecatherinsk to Kimi,
with branch line to Kandalask on the
White Sea in Russian Lapland. This
new line win be $50 versts in length,
and will probably be connected with
the Finnish line at Joinsun, in the
north OF Finland. or with the ST. Peters,
burg and Petrazavodsk Railway.
Thus. In q few years. Russia win pos
sess a naval station In the far north,
which win be open all the year round.

Joke Enjoyed by Two Fun-Loving Girls

Joke En5 by Two Fun-Loving Girls
! @s In Duluth. t..s.-, -
Every business man knows the value
of being exact If success in life is to be-
attained. AS general rule it is not SO
in society, though under some circum-
stances a due appreciation of the busi-
ness mans leading virtue comes in
handy. Two young Minneapolis swells
who were on visit to Duluth recently
are firmly convinced that exactness is
necessary, at least in the matter of
making engagements. During their
visit to the head Of the lakes they
made numerous charming acquaint
ances among the fair sex-two in par
ticular. The four young people fire.
quently met at social gatherings, at
tracted to each other by general COM
munity of feeling, all being full of
tun and fond of joke. One evening
the young men invited the girls to go
for a ride. AS they chanced to be in
wheeling costume at the time the in
vltation was given, and as the girls
were bicyclers also, they never thought
1t necessary to say what kind of ride,
though spin on a wheel is what they
had in mind when they extended the
courtesy. When they and the girls
parted the latter determined that this
was good time to have joke at the
expense of the young men. The latter
appeared at the appointed hour next
afternoon and were dumfounded to
lind the young women handsomely
dressed-to go carriage riding With
the girls all dressed up it was of
course impossible to ask them to
change their costumes. So one of the
young men, cleverer of wit than his
companion, apologized for appearing in
bicycle costume, laying the blame on
faulty tandem which they had been
riding. Begging the girls to excuse
them for half an hour they hurried
away to their hotel, changed their
clothes and ere long returned with a
hand some rig. All enjoyed the drive,
especially the girls, who on their re-
turn mischievously Informed the young
men of the joke that had been played
on them The latter took it in good
part, but have determined, as said
above, that in future when making en-
gagements they will leave nothing to
be understood
