SITUATION IN FAR EAST.
Threatened Rising Reported from
China Which May Involve the
Whole Country.

Berlin, Aug. 21.-A news agency dis
patch received here from Port Arthur
says:
From the different provinces of
China come reports of a rising which
threatens to involve the whole country.
The semi-of1icial Novkrai says:
1.-The moment has come when, in view
of the antagonism of German and Brit
ish interests, an Anglo-Russian rap
prochement is desirable as a counter
poise to the movement In Germany and
America, which is crossing the inter-
ests of Russia and Great Britain, and to
the activity Of Japan, which wishes to
make the straits of Corea a yellow Bos-
phorus. At present Russian and Brit
ish interests nowhere clash. An An
glo-Russian alliance is possible, and it
also becomes necessary in order to
protect Europe against the yellow dan
GER
1.-THE Novkrai proceeds to strongly at
tack the Russian papers which urge
Russia to wind up her affairs in Man
churia and which describe her policy in
the far east as costly blunder."

CHARGES OF FRAUD MADE.
Complaint Made Against J. Edward

Philadelphia, Aug. PA special to

tanned by the Bay State Gas company, of

SENATORS CANNOT AGREE.
Members of Sub-COm mittee Give Up
Idea of Arranging Asset
Currency Measure.

New York, Aug. 21.-The members Of
thesenate subcommittee, which has been
considering new currency measure,
have given up the idea of attempting to
reach an agreement upon any asset cur
rency plan, says dispatch from Provi-
dence, r. I.
Senator Aldr1ch, the chairman, is au-
mority for the statement that while the
committee has not departed from it's
determination to devise some simple,
conservative measure for the better
ment of financial conditions, it has de-
cided to exclude from the bill any refer
ence to asset currency or any other de-
tail upon which a disagreement of senate
and house would be likely.
1t is the belief of the committee that in
the short time before congress is con-
vened it would be practically impossible
to frame, with any hope of adoption, a
comprehensive currency measure that
would embrace all the larger questions
which will yet have to be dealt with
The energies of the committee, there
fore, are being devoted to paving the way
for the passage of simple bill to meet
present needs. When the formal con-
ference of the committee is resumed in
the near future at Senator Aldrich's
home, the new measure will be drafted.

How to Preserve Leaves and Plants

How to Preserve Leaves and Plants.
To preserve leaves and other parts Of
plants properly they should be placed
between sheets Of blotting paper. and
the papers should be changed once a
day for two or three days. They
should be dried as rapidly as possible
by passing warm flatiron over the
paper each time the change is made
They should be kept under moderate
pressure at first, and to insure even
pressing it will be we'll to place stiff
piece OF cardboard or strawboard at
intervals between the sheets. When
the drying appears to be we'll advanced,
the pressure on the specimens may be
increas ed.

in the world. that Of the nursery, for
kingdom far other than that where right
eousness rules"
To the old-fashioned mother the mighty
manhood of America doffs it's hat. For the
old-faShiOned mother is still with u.s. and
to stay. Modern science has wrought many
improvements that would make our anceS-
tors stare could they return to earth. but
one familiar figure they would still find
here-that of the ld-fashioned mother.
For she cannot be improved upon.
Before the mighty mystery Of motherhood
man stands hushed In awe: this silken cord
of sisterhood that binds the mothers of to-
day to those of all the ages. What has
been the mightiest power since the world
began? The mothers influence. And Is 1t
likely that at this late hour the queens of
America would willingly relinquish the jew
eled scepter for torch wherewith to chase
the will-o'-the-wisps of social delights?
But there are no fashions in motherhood.
so why speak of the old-fashioned mother?
The dictators of women's wardrobes who
send forth their royal commands from sea-
son to season issue no such bulletins of adj
vance styles as these: THE correct thing
for mothers this winter is to be seen fire.
quently with their children in public. The
latest fashionable fad is for mothers to
kiss their children on bidding them good
night" Or: THE newest wrinkle INDUCED
in by fashionable mothers Is telling them
gether about the fireside. Even ultra
fashionable mothers now permit their chill
dren to Chamber upon their laps" No. the
duties and the privileges of motherhood are
dependent upon neither time nor the whims
Of fashion. Mothers faithless to their
sacred trust there may be, but now happily
few, few they are in comparison with the
millions of noble mothers who today share
the magnificent honor of training up the
coming generation. Of American men and
women
