STORY OF A TEACUP,

The Count de Lesseps never seemed to
even in the smallest detail. One morning
at breakfast a beautiful Dresden teacup
was broken.
"Ah!" cried the countess, "a disaster!
Two more of that set will now be broken.
1t always happens So"
Are you SO superstitious," asked the
count, 'as really to believe that two more
will now be broken?"
81 know it,"
Then. taking up two of the cups by The
handles, he dashed them together.
The anger and dismay of the countess

ously held to her superstition. It also

have had on the minds of the children.

THE DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS.
Millions of Packages Being Mailed
to the Farmers.

The Seed Bureau OF the Department Of
Agriculture under Chief Robert j. Whit
Teton is at present very busily engaged
in the mailing OF seeds to ali parts Of the
United States. Applications from mem
bers OF Congress are continually coming in
for seeds for the agriculturists in their
districts Assistant Secretary J. II.
Brigham. who has charge of the Seed Bu
reau, stated this morning that the work
was progressing favo!abiy. and that few
complaints have been received.
he said that thousands of packets were
being sent daily. and that the demand was
so great the bureau could hardly keep pace
with it.
The vegetable seeds which are being
shipped are those OF the beet, cucumber.
lettuce, muskmelon. watermelon, onion.
bean pea and sweet corn. Probably the
largest amount of seeds mailed will be
those of the onion and radish. and the
number of packets of each furnished the
country may exceed 1900 900, or 26.0C0
pounds of onion seed, and 46. 400 pounds of
radish seed.
Immense quantities of tobacco and cot
ton seed are being shipped TO the Southern
States, and many thousand pa kets OF
lawn grass seed will be sent to various
parts of the country.
Following is a list Of names of flower
seeds being mailed. and it is expected that
over a million packets will be used this
spring: Alyssum, balsam, aster, candytuf,
Gamma. dianthus, gallardia, larkspuT sin

The Progress of "A Year.

(From Appleton's Popular Science Monthly.)
Two years ago the difficulties of reach
ing the Kiondike were thought to be of
such a nature as to preclude the probability
or even possibility Of Dawson ever be-
coming a place of permanent habitation.

Passes were exploited in magazine and
journal from one end of the continent al
most to the other, and the wrecks OF hu-
manity. and particularly of the thousands
of beasts that lay scattered along the tra1i

were appealed TO as grim testimony OF
the almost insuperable barrier which sep
arated man from the object of his search.

forty-two miles of the White Pass trail,

Significant Russian utterances.

As we have frequently had occasion to
remark. in countries like the United States
and England and in smaller degree,
even in Germany. the prevailing sentiment
OF The press. particularly in relation to in
ternational matters. may by no means
represent the views of the Government. and
on the contrary may be Numerically op-
posed to them. it is quite different in Rus
sia where the censorship is so strict that
a single paragraph obnoxious to the policy
Of the Cabinet, should one slip past
the censor and published. might result in
fine, suppression. imprisonment. or exile
for the offending editor
In view Of this well-known fact when
We read in our news dispatches today that
the Russian newspapers. without an inn
PoTtant exception. have seized upon Lord
Roberts victory as occasion for the most
violent abuse OF Great Britain. and that
leading St Petersburg journal declares the
Beers TO have earned their political in
dependence and an outlet to the sea" and
that many papers urge the Imperial Gov
eminent to aid the Transvaal State by
a military diversion in the East, we are
bound to consider that all these utter
ances harmonic with the opinions of the
Cars Government. if they have not been
authoritatively inspired.
There is perhaps sufficient reason for
suspecting that the phenomenon to which
we have referred and certain movements
of Russian diplomacy and Of Russian
troops presage trouble in Europe which
might easily involve more countries than
Great Britain. Another British victory may
be necessary to bring Russian and French
designs to a head. II is possible that the
massing of a Russian army near The Af-
CHAN frontier and other like manifestations
may mean strong support of a diplomatic
adventure in which the Gar and the
French Government may be preparing 20
join. Apparent war preparations might
really be intended as an effective back
ground for the most friendly mediation

RUSSIA'S RECENT LOAN.
The Twenty-Five Millions TO BE Ex-
pended In America.

PHILADELPHIA March 1.-Philadel-
phia's business men read with especial in
terest the announcement of the placing Of
loan of $25 600, 600 in New York by the
Russian Government They regarded il as
strong evidence that Russia will continue
to be a big buyer in American markets.
The Cramp Shipbuilding Company and
the Baldwin Locomotive Works have al
ready profited by Russias liberal policy,
and the Cramps will get s5,00O,000 of the
new loan for work to be done in their
shipyard
Charles H. Cramp said last night: This
big loan is but beginning Other nego-
tiations that are under way indicate that
this is not an isolated case, but that it is
likely to become the policy of Russia to do
business with the United States.
while / cannot say exactly to what ex-
tent Russia has placed orders in this coun-
try / venture the opinion that this S25,-
600, ,000 will not pay all the obligations she
has contracted in the United States in the
hast two years for rails, air brakes, ships.
large tools, ard appliances.
Russia is getting ready to be a great
buyer of coal here. While as yet rails are
practically the extent of her purchases in
the steel line, l think she will buy this
material extensively when our mills can
accommodate her.
Russia is sure to be a great field for
American output" continued Mr.. Cramp,
''Our mercantile methods in the manuiac-
ture Of tools commend themselves to her.
Our railway construction. locomotive en-
gineering and all other matters of that
kind are peculiarly in line with Russian
thought
Russia is practically an undeveloped
country of enormous dimensions, almost
planetary in size This vast field is partic-
ularly interesting to the United States on
account of the friendship that has existed
from the Revolutionary period down. We
expect that Russia will continuously give
employment to our shipbuilding industry.
locomotive works rolling mills. manufac-
tories of railroad appliances and ether
lines of business. The construction of the
Trans Siberian Railroad is but the begin
ming of the railroad development Of vast
country from which America will profit.
THE falling off of the coal supply and
the production of iron in England. with
certain antagOnisms that exist between
-the two countries, practically leave us the
only competitor. In view OF the adyan-
tages we possess in coal and iron output.
Germany can never furnish Russia the
bulk of the produce needed by her.
Different as Russia and this country
mag be. there is a strong resemblance in
the way OF thinking Of the Russian and the
American We should cultivate the friend
ship that exists between the two nations.

THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.
Satisfactory Results of Two Expert
ments Made With Serum.

In a communication to Surgeon General
Wyman, of the Marine Hospital Service,
Surgeon Carmichael says that all of the
cases of bubonic plague at Maui occurred
in the Chinese quarters and were traced 10
a Chinese store where foodstuffs imported
from the Orient were sold.
The Chinese quarters in Kahului were
burned as were the bodies of those who
had died of the disease. The report stated
that the authorities has the situation well
in hand and have no fear of the disease
spreading. At Hilo two eases were re-
ported that of Chinese child on February
II, and the other on February IS.
In writing of the disinfecting facilities.
DR.. Carmichael says that they were in
adequate. which, of course, necessitates un-
necessary labor on the part of the medi
cal officers The baggage was sprayed with
disinfectants and closed for period Of
six hours or more before being allowed to
be removed
No passengers, except those travelling
first class have left the islands since De-
cember IL. All passengers are obliged to
report to the United States Consulate 1r-
teen days previous to their departure.
DR.. Carmichael reports two very sue.
cessful experiments with the anti-plague
serum one in the case Of white man
named Hartman and on Mr.. Armstrong
Smith. a volunteer nurse. Both were rap
idly improving under the treatment The
medical officers have great faith in tina
discovery and it will be used to great
extent hereafter.
Some time ago the Surgeon General ad-
dressed .letters to certain quarantine off,

ger of the plague reaching the United
States through Mexico and yesterday he
received communications that the disease
had appeared in the Island of Cozumel. of
the coast of Yucatan. Mexico. 1t has ex-
listed there for several weeks. and was
probably brought from Brazil.
All the quarantine officers in the United
States Cuba, and Porto Rico have been
notified and will keep a sharp lookout for

The succor of Ladysmith.

A new and interesting chapter in the
history of the South African war is about
to open. The Beers apparently are rushing
from Natal and Northern Cape Colony and
heading for their second line Of defence,
which may be on the upper Modder and
the Kaal Rivers, covering Bloemfontein, or
on the Vaal
Lord Dandonald. with his brigade of
horse and some infantry, was able to enter
Ladysmith on Wednesday evening passing
by the Kip River and Caesars Camp and
encountering hardly any resistance. What
Dundonald saw on his march satisfied him
that the Beers had abandoned their posi-
tions TO the east and south of Ladysmith.
The batteries on Bulwana Mountain were
silent; possibly because his movement was
not detected. but probably because the
guns had been removed. At any moment
we may expect to hear that the main body
of Buffers army has reached the be-
leaguered garrison. From the tenor of
our dispatches it would seem to appear
that General Joubert has been making a
desperate resistance at Grobler's Kioof
and Pieters in order to gain time for the
removal of his siege train from Ladysmith.
This he has most likely accomplished, 10
a great extent, at any rate and is pushing
as hard as possible TO the Free State. Lord
Roberts reports that the Beers have left
Colesberg doubtless in a movement con-
forming with the movement of Joubert to-
ward point of concentration at or near
BlOemfontein, where the missing six thou
sand of General Cronjes MagarsfonteIn
command may be already.
Nhst the next developments may be it
would be difficult to predict. The posi-
tions of the contending parties seem 10
suggest some general probabilities but
they are vague al best. Lord Kitchener is
at Arundel. busy at something. 1t may be
that he is organizing a Ranking movement
to tbe east of Bloemfontein, perhaps with
some idea of effecting juncture with Bull
ler's army when the latter has accom-
plished its purpose in Natal and is free
to cross the border The rapidity with
which the play was carried on in the west
ern field by the British. after the arrival
of Roberts and Kitchener encourages the
opinion that the Boer plan of concentration
will not be carried out fully. before the
British general attempts another blow.
Just where it will fall is the question.
