LOOTING SCANDAL REVIVED.

The steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der
G rosse sailed yesterday from New York.
Among the passengers on board were
Ss Clsude Maxwell Macdonald, who
was British Minister TO Chins during
the Boxer trouble, and who is now Am
bassador to Japan, and Lady MscDon-
aid, Asked If he thought there was
Al, likelihood of a cor fict between
Rus sia ard Japan 10 the near future,
Sir Claude said:
RECENT events in China might lead
one to tbiOk go. Japan, however, al
though ready to defend any enDroach-
mems on her lawful rights, is. for.
tuuslely, q pescsabls nation, and lie not

a catastrophe through the channels .oi

When asked concerning the story that
the W OF Unied States .diI loms ate

room in the Forbidden City and that
Lady Macdonald protested against the
sction, Sir Claude Macdonald said:
Il remem DER the incident to which /
thlpk the article refers, and when read
the story in San Francisco l wrote to
Gen. Chsffee. Lady Macdonald was in
party which went over the palace.
When they reached the storeroom and
there was some talk OF breaking in,
Lady Macdonald, the secretary Of the
British Embassy, and the Belgian and
Italian representatives withdrew. They
refused TO have anything to do with the
4fi air. What went on after they left

MEDICINAL.

Exhales from children as fragrance from
flowers. The little lips are always puck
cred to give or take kiss. In homes
where there are children, love reaches
its fairest and sweetest proportions. In
childless homes the kiss of wife and
husband grows formal, and presently is
neglected the springs Of love in the
heart become choked for want OF use
and exercise. Childlessness is a great
sorrow to many women. 1t IS like a
curse from Nature, who bids all crea-
lures TO be fruitful. II is not a curse
but a misfortune. Often the conditions
which cause childlessness are removable.

brought JOY to many woman by giving

vitality, removes local distractions, and

The discovery has been made that
the law requiring foreign corporations
to incorporate 10 Indiana to the amount
of capital invested by them 10 that
State, practically nullifes the antitrust
law of the last session of the legislature

How can be produced hens that will
lay 200 eggs per annum? By scientific
breeding, as for good butter COW or a
COW mixer. or for a good ,rotter or
high jumping horse. Experiments have
been made to increase the number of
rows of corn on the cob with success
The same method is applicable to poul-
try breeding. We will start with hen
that lays 100 eggs. Some of her chicks
Will lay 100 per year. From these we
viii pick out layers and so on until 200
or better are the result. At the same
time it Is just as essential to breed out
of males from prolific layers. as it is the
females: in fact, it is II ore so. If we
look after the breeding ~ the females
only we viii introduce ON the male side
blood which Is lacking in proficiency,
and thus check every attempt in prog
ress. 1t Is just as essential that the
male should be from the hen which lays
It's eggs and from male that was bred
from hen that laid $50 eggs. as it is
that the hen should be from one that
Laid 175 eggs and whose mother laid
$50 eggs.-Poultry Herald.

Tie following formula is one of the
best mixtures for house plants, and the
Ingredients may be obtained at any
drug store at small expense: Sodium
nitrate, three-four hs of pound; dry
sodium phosphate one-quarter of a
pound; sodium sul1hate, one-half Of a
pound. Pulyerize lnd mix thoroughly
packing away in a covered jar. When
wanted for use dissolve at the rate OF
one tabIesoonful of the mixture TO q
gallon of hot water, and when cool ap
ply at the rate of half cupful to the
soil in six-inch pot, once in two
weeks. This fertilizer will improve
the growth of all plants except Gala
lilies and others of a similar class
which do much better when stable ma
nure is freely used.

Heavy Gales and High Seas. on thu
Atlantic Seaboard.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of damage was done by a fierce
storm that swept the Atlantic seaboard
from Maine to the Virginia coast Sunday
morning The most serious damage was
on the shore of Long Island and New
Jersey. where high seas swept everything
near the beach before them Fine cot
tages and beat houses OF New York mill
ionaires were partially wrecked by the
waves, boats and piers were carried away
or driven far inland and the whole sea
front of Long Island was strewn with
wreckage such as has not been seen there
for years,
Traffic Was suspended on railroads that
run near the shore, and cottages, boat
houses. barns and even hotels Were de
stroyed by the tremendous power Of the
:idal wave. Yachts and other vessels
that were thought to be in safe harbNrs
were torn from their mornings aud ear
ried inland and left high and dry.
At New Rochelle, Larchmont. Orienta

of this from using this mixture for the
scale insect, or mite, which causes
sealy legs on fowls. We found that one
or two clippings or washings with it

Howard" cried Lady Grace, with UNI
usual energy. He always insisted on
sacrificing everything to his stubborn
pride. Can nothing be done?"
Il fear not" replied the old lady; and
then she proceeded TO tell her friend Of
Miss Champions treatment of her cousin
Lady Grace was highly indignant.
Il can quite believe it," she remarked
Miss Champion has an air OF naughty
superciliousness that offends me greatly

At this moment the door opened, and
Winifred entered. She drew back on see

added. addressing her visitor
Lady Grace was fairly astonished at

Lady Craze left the cottage that after

| would, therefore, say that, instead of
preventing horses from falling, the
bearing-rein is calculated TO render
falling more frequent. Other not I'M
common results of the use of this in
strument of torture are distortion of
the windpipe to such degree as to
impede the respiration ever afterward,
excoriatiOn of the mouth and lips,
paralysis of the muscles of the face,
etc. Another writer says: Tying one
part of an animals body to another
does not necessarily keep him ON his
feet. 1t is the pull from the arm Of the
driver that makes the horse regain him
self when he stumbles. One might as
well say that tying q mans head back

him from falling If he stumbled in a

The surname of MacKinley or Me

The name, unlike most other Scottish
surnames beginning with Mae, is not n
very common one, and occurs only
sparingly in the public records of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as
