KEEP A SCRAP BOOK.
It Is More Interesting and Valuable If
Devoted to One Subject.

From st. Nicholas.
You may make for yourself an interesting
book by constructing a scrap-book devoted
to one subject. One young girl with a
strong interest in the life of Mary Queen OF
Scots has collected from magazines and
other sources articles, illustrated or not,
as 1t happens, verses pictures Of buildings
and localities and portraits relating to this
heroine and has put them into a single
scrap-book. making volume in which ,
takes much pride. When she cannot OBJ
tain printed copy Of an extract she
wishes to add she doe- not hesitate to
copy 1t out neatly upon the pages of her
book. which is merely large composition
book.
The educational value Of such work Is
by no means slight, since to know one
thing well one must needs learn much Of
many others. Indeed. 1t has been said mere
than once that to know one thing COM
pletely we should have tn know all things.
There Is a good suggestion here. You
will be surprised, II you begin to gather
material upon some topic, to see how much
is printed about your favorite subject One
word OF caution. Do not choose too wide
a subject. Make your limits narrow enough
to be within your scope. Your scrap-book
need not be upon history or literature. but
1t should be concerned with something
worth the time you mean to spend upon it

PORT ARTHUR FIGHT.
Alexieff Sends Official Report of the
Attack Of March 10.

A cablegram from st. Petersburg last
night says:
The czar has received the following mes
sage from Viceroy Alexieff, dated Mukden,
March 10:
1.-THE commandant of the fortress at Port
Arthur reports that at about l o'clock this
morning the outlines of vessels, apparently
torpedo boats, were seen at sea within the
area swept by our searchlights.
"Our batteries opened fire upon these ves-
sells. Our torpedo boats put out to sea at
2:40 a. m, and at about clock met the
enemy west of the Liao-tishin lighthouse
After firing several shots the enemy retired
to the south in the direction of Shandun.
Our torpedo boats returned to the harbor at
6 o'clock.
Later torpedo boats were again sent to
sea to reconnoiter. They returned in half
an hour, having learned that an enemy s
squadron was approaching.
AT O'Clock the Japanese opened fire
upon our cruisers and the fortress. The
enemy had fourteen ships and fired the en-
tire time from behind Liao-tishin.
L have the honor to report the above to
your majesty. ALExIEFF"
A cablegram from Mukden last night
says:
The following advices have been received
here from Port Arthur:
torpedo boats of the enemy were dis
covered on Port Arthur about midnight
last night The short batteries opened fire
on them, but soon ceased. At about 3
o'clock in the morning four of our torpedo
o0ats went out to sea- They met the enemy,
who fired few shots and then withdrew
our torpedo boats then returned
Later two of our torpedo boats again
went out to sea. but at once returned
neinsimg nana na.a news OF the approach of Japa-
nese squadron or fourteen ships. At about
o'clock In the morning this squadron
opened fire at long range"

Peonage in Mississippi.

A dispatch from Jackson, Miss. last
night says:
Shep Griffin, negro, is in Jail at Meri-
dian, having been taken from certain per-
sons In kemper county. who 1t Is alleged
held him In involuntary servitude This is
the first substantial charge of peonage that
has come to the attention of United States
officials in Mississippi. and it is learned
that the neighborhood where the arrests
were made is In ferment of excitement.
While the officials decline to discuss the
matter. 1t is learned from other sources
that the parties charged with the offense.
not only have made threats that they
would XIII the negro and the deputies who
arrested him. but also would kill the wit
nesses against them, and burn their prop
erty.
Reputable white citizens Of Kemper coun.
ty brought the case to the attention of
the marshal. asserting that the negro on
one occasion had been stripped and
whipped for leaving the premises of those
who held him. So severe was the beating
that his clothes stuck for several days to
the gashes made by the lash.

1000 RUSSIANS DEAD ON YALU.
Troops Said to Be Disheartened by Cold
and Starvation.

A cablegram from Tientsin, China, last
night says: The Russian authorities are
reported to be withdrawing all the super
fuous troops of the Port Arthur garrison
to Harbin and Kirmin. owing to the short
ness of provisions at the port. Supplies
of cattle are being obtained surreptitiously
from Shanhaikwan.
1t is also stated that explosives are be-
Ing placed in houses in Dalny. in prepara-
ton for the occupation of the town by the
Japanese. which is apparently regarded as
inevitable in the near future.
The Russians at Newchwang are pre-
pared. in order to block the river. to scut-
tie the gunboat Sivoutch In the event of a
Japanese advance on that town.
1t Is probable In that case that the Rus
sian troops would withdraw 1t is doubt
full whether they would be able to hold
either Newchwang or Port Arthur against
a resolute attack.
Besides the 10000 men at Newchwang un-
der General Kondratovitch. there are said
to be 10000 at Port Arthur, while Kinchau
and Vuchau are bot hstrongly held, thereby
commanding both banks and the mouth of
the Lao river. where heavy guns are
mounted.
At the same time It is reported that star
vation. cold and harsh treatment by their
officers have broken the spirits Of the
troops. who are largely recruits. Many of
the Russian soldiers who have arrived in
Newchwang from the country around are
dying of frostbite.
The Russian losses on the Yalu river are
reported to number 1000.
1t is believed that the japanese purpose,
after enveloping Port Arthur. is to send two
armies northward, at the same time, from
Regents Sword. the extreme point of the
Liao-tung peninsula. and from the Yalu
river.

1t will take time for the reforms In the
direction Of sounder public education, now

ates better equipped for teaching and other

evil effects Of the decay Of sound principles

Tho Hog as a Forester.

from outing.
There are innumerable minor influences
that come In for the forester's considera-
ton, and what is recommended in one in
stance Is discouraged in the next. Taking
the matter of grazing in forest. Through
out the more extensive woodlands OF the
middle west run thousands Of wild or semi
wild hogs. In this Tennessee forest 1t was
recommended that every possible effort be
made to exterminate these, for the reason
that they eat the mast and thus prevent
the growing of young trees from the seed.
But In the working plan before mentioned
1t Is advised that hog grazing be encour-
aged. The reason for the difference is this:
The former forest is chiefly mast-bearing
hardwood. The latter is mainly pine, and
what hardwood there Is in mixture serves
as a hindrance to young pine growth.
Therefore in this forest the presence of
hogs which eat the mast and check the
hardwood Is benefit: while in the other,
where hardwood is the staple. the animals
are nuisance.
