THE BLOOD LILIES by w. A. Frazer.
published by Charles Scribner's Sons.
New York. For sale by Preston &
Rounds, Providence)
A tale OF that land OF which. compare
lively, so little is known but which has OF
late formed the background OF several
most interesting books.
The scene OF action in Mr.. Frazer {
story lies In the north country OF Canada
beyond Winnepeg and the author has SO
vividly pictured life there that the reader
almost feels. after finishing the tale, that
they have seen II all with their own eyes.
There are a number OF characters In the
story--the majority OF them seem TO be
principal ones-each different. however, In
certain respects and each having some
particularly, all being SO well drawn as
to form dramatic personne about which
Is constructed n story strong, intense,
strenuous at times, pathetic at other. and
from every standpoint one that will re-
tain tho interest OF even the most careless
reader.
There Is. Il seems, little or no calling
upon the imagination by the author; he
has quite evidently made deep study Of
his characteristic people In that cold
land--and he has the customs and pc
culiarites down 10 perfection. All in all
1t Is a powerful story and cannot fail
TO entertain.

DISEASE IN THE MINES.
Profuse Use of Water Spraying g i'm COl- Iieries Has Assisted fin Intro
 ducimE Serious Disorder.

The profuse use of water spraying in mines has unfortunately assisted in the introduction of a most serious disease into colleries, viz: "ankylostomaiasis, !" which is at present mostly confined to Austrian, German and Hungarian mines, but has been discovered in some mines in Cornwall, and also in Australia, where those suffering from the disease are called t'earth eaters" says Mines and Minerals. The higher the temperature and the greater the point of saturat1on the more easily Is the parasite propa- gated, and therefore it's favorite habitat lis in the damp and badly ventilated places. The larvae can exist in any tenn perature above 48 degrees F., and have been found on the higher parts of props and bars, but not near the floor. Fortu- nately, the first accounts are believed to have exaggerated the danger, and were incorrect in stating that the infection could be carried through the air: but later Investigations seem to point out that 1t can only be taken in through the mouth, and, therefore, clean hands and clean water, when partaking of foods, are the principal safeguards.

SIZE OF RUSsIA'S ARMY.
Actual Number of Troops the Czan Has I'm OF Near Manchuria
 Kept a Secret.

No one outside the Russian war of- flee knows the actual number of troops the czar has in Manchuria or within reach of it, writes o. K. Davis, in Every body's Magazine. The Russian army in point of number Is the largest in the world. Nearly 300, 900 young men reach their majority in Russia every year, and each is bound by law to spend five years in the army. If all were taken they would make an army too large even for Russia, so only 219,000 go to the colors with the army or the fleet, and the rest 20 to the reserve. The lowest peace strength of the Russian military estab- lishment, therefore, numbers more than a million men, with 42,000 officers. Tn war time practically all these young men join the colors, swelling the army to the stupendous figures of 4,500,0 men, and 75, 900 officers, for whom there are provided 560, ,000 horses. Men who are in position to guess shrewdly say there are more than ,0CG Russian soldiers in Manchuria or near 1t now The number that can be put in the field there is limited only by the will of the government.

SELF PRESERV
Japan Must Fight to Preserve
 Integrity of China
NO ANSWER YET FROM RUSSIA.
United States Reported to Have Ad- vised Both Nations to Refer Their Differences to The
 Hague Tribunal.

ST. PETERSBUR Dec. 26.-The Russian government is still considering the reply of the Japanese government to its note which was sent in answer to Japan's demands relating to the sit uation in the far east A reconsidera- ton of the proposals made in the Rus sian note is considered as a matter of course. Russia has never been dis posed to take any step which would lead to an abrupt termination of the ne- gotiations with Japan. The Russian foreign office insists that the Russian proposals are so liberal that it would be scarcely probable to conceive any further concessions.
 While the foreign office is unwilling to admit that Russia is prepared to of fer more than the concessions outlined in the last note, 1t is considered possi- ble that the government may suggest changes by which the Russian require ments may be met and satisfaction giv- en to Japan.
 A rumor has been circulated here that the United States government is still inclined to suggest the reference of the difficulties between Russia and Japan to The Hague arbitration tribu- nal.
 At dinner given by the Tokyo Ori- ental association last night former For eign Minister Kato, who presided, said he deeply regretted that the people had not been taken into the confidence of the government regarding the position of affairs between Japan and Russia. Nevertheless, he said, should the em- peror declare war the nation would be found ready to give him unanimous support.
 Count Okuma, the former premier, said he agreed with the view expressed by MT. Kato, and he thought 1t was now high time to let the people know l the actual position occupied by the gov ernment. He also declared that not only feeling of chivalry, but desire for self preservation, required that Ja- pan should buttress the integrity of l China. ." r..
 Both speakers thought that the situa- ton had reached an. extremely critical stage.
