provision of ground cellars for the stor- age of supplies during the winter is another step in the direction of the complete equipment of the country home.
 / In the interior finishing and furnishing of country seats in the United States there Is manifest that same marked indi- viduality which is noticeabk in the ex- terior architecture. Broad verandas ex- tending on several sides of the house. pereolas. broad central halls and im- mense open fireplaces are adjuncts which have been very universally intro- duced.

although 1t Is only in rare instances that 1t is not necessary to supplement such supply by that derived from wells. Where the Is a natural lake on or ad- Jacent to an estate such a body of water, affords reservoir from which water may be drawn for many purposes. Windmills yet afford power for pump ing water on many of the newer coun- try estates. although hot-alr pumps have been introduced to a considerable extent.
 Another sphere in which notable prog ress has been made is in the construc- ton of private icehouses. At some es- tates the icehouses are designed merely as storage places for the years supply of ice, and the use of the latter for preservative purposes Is embraced in us employment in ordinary refrigera- tors. but at other country seats the lee houses are so constructed as to afford commodious cold-storage chambers which supplant all old-style refrigerators, The

hundred or even several thousand acres, but 1t Is noticeable that the far-seeing possessors of country seats. whatever may have been the original dimensions of their holdings, are ever seeking to in- crease the acreage under their control. and repeated demonstrations have proven that this Is the part of wisdom for un- desirable neighbors or the presence in too close proximity of industrial estab- lishments may mar the enjoyment. if not the beauty. of the most attractive country home.
 With the increase In the number and pretentions of American country seats has come the solution of many prob lems which originally threatened to con- stitute formidable obstacles to the full enjoyment of life remote from city conveniences. Obviously. one of the most important considerations at a country seat Is the water supply. Where springs are available they. of course. constitute the Ideal source of supply.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-06-19

Since the owner of country seat, par ticularly if he has been transplanted to rural surroundings. direct from city. Is likely to be restless and energetic to a certain degree. 1t Is the part of wisdom to provide diversified interests on the rural estate. This explains in part the extensive stables and dog kennels to be found at many American country seats, and in not few instances evidence has been afforded to what an extent such to the general architectural policy car- ried out in the dwelling. Where land Is available golf links and tennis courts allure and serve to add materially. to the possibilities of entertainment afforded by country home.
 To the person of moderate means-and 1t might almost be said without regard to means-the evolution of self-satis- flying and artistic country seat Is work that requires time. for there are many phases of the undertaking which are dependent to a considerable extent upon nature, and may not be hurried. For instance. there Is the redemption of low ground, the creation of handsome hedges, the formation of elaborate flower gardens and a host of other tasks for which time and patience are required. This brings us naturally to passing con- sideration of the conditions governing the maintenance of a country seat and 1t is to be noted at the outset that. with very few exceptions. even the wealthiest owners of American rural or suburban estates maintain no such forces of care takers and workmen as are to be found on the great English country estates, where formal gardening has reached It's fullest development.
 The preference of a majority of those Americans who have lately adopted country life is for natural landscape gardening, and save on estates such as that of MT. Vanderbilt at Biltmore N. C., where scientific forestry and dairying are carried on on an extensive scale. or where racing stables are main tained. there Is necessity for the em- ployment of only a moderate number or workmen. However. there is tendency to gradually increase the size or the working force at the pretentious country seat, a move which must inevitably fol- low the growing appreciation by country residents of the difficulty of securing and retaining workers who are really competent to care for an estate and who will manifest something of that degree of interest on the part of employees which Is largely responsible for the perfection attained on many English es- tates

Explanations are as unsafe as dyna-
mite to those who have failed TO build
up a well-tried system of usage. At
a reception recently. says the Ne.x
York Times, a young man thought he
recognized a young woman he had met
a few days before; but she passed him
by without a nod.
He supposed she must have forgot
ten him, and to jog her memory, next
time looked at her eve more lntentIy.
She seemed embarrassed. and later,
after being introduced to her, he tried
to explain his persistency.
"You must excuse me-" said he, "for
staring so hard at you; but l mistook
you for somebody else. OF course. IL

War News i'm Brief.

Rumors again are in circulation that
the Gar is about to go to the front.
Gen. Kuroki continues his advance on
the north of the Taitse river and is said
to have reached a position commanding
the railroad to Mukden.
DIR. Emil G.. Hirsch Of Chicago, after
a long trip abroad, says western Europe,
with the exception OF official Germany,
sympathizes with Japan in her struggle
with Russia.
Retreat from Liaoyang develops into
a race for Mukden. The main Russian
army is north Of Yentai and the bulk of
the Japanese forces are believes to be
heading directly for Mukden.
Four Russian warships made a sortie
from Port Arthur and shened the Jap.
anese positions on the shore. The move
ment indicates that the vessels have been
repaired since the battle of Aug. 10.
The only recent comfort for the Rus.
slams at home was the news, in a report
from Gen. Kuropatkin that Gen. Stakel-
berg's First Siberian army corps Of 25,.
coo men, reported as having been cut
off TO the westward Of Liaoyang, had
been safely e~xtriratei and that the corps
had succeeded Ia joining be main Rus

front was some terrible bayonet fight

Tsegow and Anping. Finally, how
ever, after making four savage u
ter assaults at Tsegow, the Muscovites
were compelled to give way. They
left six guns behind them. According
to their W reports heir losses ex-
eeeded ! 800 killed and wounded. On
the evening OF this day they fell back

simultaneously, losing owe 1000 men
in the retreat. General RoutkoysKy
was killed.
The Japanese by this time had cap
tured sixteen guns, and they pressed
in from all sides; the Russian steadily
resisted. The troops which had quit
ted Anping reached Liaoyang, a malm-
ed and wearied crew. Some of the
Russians crossed to the north bank OF
the Taitse.
Another day of fighting. The First,
Second and Fourth corps were in con-
tinual rear guard action, as they fell
back toward Liaoyang. 1t began to
be suspected that Kuroki was sending
large numbers of men across theTaitse
River for the purpose of getting in be-
hind K%ouropatkin. The Russians also
crossed the Taitse River in order to
forestall the move. West of Liaoyang
the japanese were deserted In force
and attacked by the Russian cavalry,
which had the better of them. The
main Japanese attacks came from the
south and southeast, the plan evident
ly being to draw sufficient troops in
that direction to let Kuroki's move
ments go comparatively unopposed.
The fighting continued from 5 a. m. to
p. m. General Oku tried to get

H~eiyingtai. He divided his forces into
two parts. The left proceeded to Hell
yingtai, the right took a more north
erly route to the Yeltai coal mine,
with the purpose of cutting the road.
The Japanese reported that the pas
sage of the Russians across the Taitse
lost its character of an orderly retreat
and became a flight. Many thousand
Muscovttes were thrown into the wa
ter and drowned.
Kuroki on the north continued to
press toward the railroad. He seized
heights opposite Heiyingtai, whence he
bombarded the Russians. The Japa-
nese casualties, according to their own
reports up to this date, amount to
25,0O0.
People who for seven months have
been reading newspaper bulletins about
the war may fail to appreciate that
the meager reports received of this
great fight at Liaoyang are the ac-
counts of an event which will live in
history for thousands Of years. The

such immense magnitude; not only be-
cause both sides have applied the lat
est teachings of tactics and the perma-
nent principles of strategy; not only
because the troops of the two armies
have fought with desperate valor. The
battle of Liaoyang is of such stupen-
dous significance because it is a fight
between the west and the east, be-
tween the most despotic country Of
the west and the freest people of the
east; because in a fight with substan-
TALLY equal forces on each side, in a
position of its own choosing, the west
has succumbed to the east, the white
man to the yellow. Such a battle
must take place high up among the
most decisive battles or the world.
The gratifying thing to the western
er is that the oriental, in order to over
come, was forced to adopt the tactics,
the strategy, the weapons, the train
ing, the discipline and experience of
the west.

Fruit that Eve Bit.

A fruit supposed to bear the mark
of Ewes teeth is one Of the many
botanical curiosities of Ceylon. The
tree on which 1t gorws is known by
the significant name of 1.-THE forbid
den fruit or Ewes apple tree" The
blossom has a very pleasant scent, but,
the really remarkable feature Of the,
tree, the n to which 1t owes its name
is the fruit. 1t Is beautiful and hangs,
from the tree in a peculiar manner.
Orange on the outside and deep GRIM
son within, each fruit has the appear
ance of having had a piece bitten out
Of 1t. This fact, together with its
poisonous quality, led the Mohamme-
dams to represent 1t as the forbidden
fruit of the garden of Eden, and to
warn men against its noxious prop
critics

When we got there he was 81 very

sink away and seemed like he would
die. Il
when I reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although |
had never used the food, we got some,
and for a few days gave him just the
juice OF Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger SO quickly we were soon feed
ing him the Grape-Nnts itself, and In
a wonderfully short time he fattened
right up and became strong and well.
"That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, l raised her on Grape-Nuts, and
sic is a strong, healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little

Alpena, Mich, Sept. 5.-(Special.)-
Se~venty-five years OF age, but hale and
hearty is Mr.. Jerome X. Fourier OF
this place, and TO those who ask the
secret OF his splendid health he gives
the good advice, Use Dodd's Kidney
Pills"
When asked for his reason for so
strongly recommending the Great
American Kidney Remedy, Mr.. Four
nier related the following experience:
Il recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills
because they cured me of Diabetes. I
suffered with my kidneys for a long
time and suffered terribly from those
Urinary Troubles that are so general
among aged people.
Then | started to use Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and eight boxes OF them
cured my kidneys, regulated my water
and made me feel like a hearty young
man."
Dodd's Kidney Pills make the old
feel young because they make sound
kidneys. Sound kidneys mean health
and health is the other name for youth.

around the Russian right flank, west
of the railroad. The Russian casual
ties this day were 5000.
The battle began at 5 the next morn
i~y and continued until midnight. This
was the hardest day yet. The worst
fighting occurred between s p. m. and
midnight. The Russians broke ground
but little. Ten thousand Russians, to-
gether with their artillery occupied

The great battle around Liaoyang
was, probably, from the number of
men engaged, the greatest in history.
Both sides fought with desperate valor
the japanese attacking recklessly;
the Russians defending doggedly and
slowly retiring. On some of the days
the scales would hold quite even from
5 in the morning until midnight. The
soldiers would then sleep on their
arms and renew the battle from the
positions they held. Fighting of that
sort is rare. In most previous battles
the event has been determined in one
day. In few has the fighting been
prolonged for ten days.
Only fragmentary reports have come
in and only the main outlines and
principles of the conflict can now be
made out. The details must be filled
in later. 1t is yet impossible to identi-
fly the individual exploits Of compa-
MES, regiments, brigades, or divisions.
The thing was on such a big scale
that it is difficult, the Chicago Tribune
says, to follow even the movements
of corps.
In brief, both sides had about
100000 men, each one claiming the
other possessed superior numbers.
Probably the Japs had the advantage.
The Russian commander in chief,
Kouropatkin, drew his lines in a semi
circle east, south and west Of Lao
yang. His main forces were to the
east under Major General I~vanoff, who
commanded the Third, Tenth and Sew
enteenth corps, and to the south and
southeast, under General Zaroubieff,
in command of the First, Second and
Fourth corps. Field Marshal Oyama,
assisted by Chief of Staff Baron KO-
dana, was in command Of the Japa-
nese. The three armies Of Kuroki,
Nodzu and Oku, which formerly acted
ly the right, center and left wings of
the great Japanese army.
The first signs of activity were out
post skirmishing and rifle firing, bat
no artillery work. At dawn of the
first day an artillery duel began, the
Japanese having erected two batteries
before Liandiansian. The Russians
had the better of the exchange. The
Japs put another battery at Sanpu for
the purnose of driving a wedge be-
tween the Russians at Liaoyang and
Liandiansian. At 5 in the afternoon
two divisions of Japs were seen adj
vancing against the latter place.
The next day-the Japanese took the
offensive along their whole line. The
hottest fighting was at Tsegow,
whence, according to Tokio's report,
the Russian artillery made excellent
practice. Kuroki was e~ndeavoring to
drive a wedge between Anping and
Liandiansian, but the battle swayed
resultless all day. On the south front
the fighting was not so desperate. The
Russian advance guard, south Of An
shanshan, slowly moved backward,
losing 100 men. In the evening Ku-
roki managed to get his wedge through
between the Second and Fourth corps,
occupying Hungshaling and Tahsikou,
but he was unable to drive the Rus
slams from these eminences. There
were heavy losses on both sides.
There was fighting all the day fol-
