Sian Defenses Of Fortress.

London: A dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Chefoo says that two Jap
anese torpedoboat destroyers en-
tered that harbor at Z o'clock Tuesday
evening. One OF them proceeded
south, after a hasty exchange Of sig.
gals with the shore. Il Is belived that
here have been important develop
ments at Port Arthur.
A dispatch to the Standard, from
Lao Yang, September 20, via Tien
Tsin, states that the crisis at Port
Arthur is rapidly approaching. The
speedy capture of the last line Of de-
Tense is anticipated. The recent sue
cessful assault by the Japanese en-
abled them to mount heavy guns on
the hills to the eastward, which COM
mand a section of the town and har-
Dor. The Russian fire for many days
has not been as vigorous as usual.
The correspondent confirms the re-
ports of severe loss of the garrison
and the cutting OFF Of the main aque-
duct supplying the fortress with
water.
A dispatch to the Chronicle vaguely
dated Lilac Tung Peninsula, Septem-
Der &C." reports that the lombard
ment of Port Arthur goes on unceas-
ingly. The fortress is surrounded with
a ring of fire from the Japanese shells.
The last line of defenses is being
battered to pieces, preparatory to a
final assault. At one point the Japan
csc have Slapped to within few hun
bred yards OF the Russians. It will
be difficult to cross the intervening
space, owing to the intensity OF the

dent mentions that the Russians made

fortress. They lost some howitzers!

more likely to retain his title ant

CHRISTMAS NEAR
THE SOUTH POLE.

AS the weather gradually cleared on
our juorney south, very sharp conf

right, and, in the uncertain light, ap-
peared a high mountain at great
distance BY Christmas day we were
abreast of it. and found it to be a
sharp eminence about 1000 fest in
height, arising out of the ice-cap at
the foothills. It's solitary position
made it most conspicuous landmark,
and in honor the day we named it
Christmas mountain.
Our Christmas day was gEoriously
fine: the sun shone bright and clear
throughout, and had most cheering
effect, which, no doubt, was much as
sisted by the fact that we looked for

evening, after a special washup and

Noses.

One of the most brilliant essays on
nasology is the one which classes noses
not by origin, but by mentality. The
aquiline nose, for example, is the sign
OF goodness, amiability and weakness.

the direst catastrophies. Let us have
conmiseratien for the nose that is very
slightly prominent. 1t is the muzzle
of q sheep and belongs to people who

elongation marks the extent of desires
and the Instability of appetites. Look
out also for the ferret nose, with its
sharp point, always on the scent for
secrets. 1t is the nose of the inonisitor.

Worth Reading.

In all the Baking Powder WARS,
that have been internationally waged
in the last wenty years there is one
point that has been overlooked by the
belligerent makers Of these goods. Ri.
val manufacturers have contented
themselves with accusing their com
petitors of making an unwholesume
product. The question Of keepingqual-
ity, and therefore, efficiency in raising
bread, the only purpose for which bak-
ing powder is used. appears to have
been generally ignored, There are
many powders which, when fresh. and
the can IS first uncovered, will do fairly
good work, but after standing for some
time on the pantry shelf, the powder
becomes SO weak as to be almost worth
less as far as raising bread is concerned.
This is especially true in the case ofthe
SO. called phosphate" powders which
We're it not for this fais.i defect, would
be satisfactory baking powders. The
unsuccessful attempts to overcome this
fault of the phosphate powders has
enlisted the services of more chemists
and cost more money than the solution
of any other problem connected with
the raising of bread. The makers Of
these phosphate" powders raise a
great cry about the wonderful health
fitness of their product, but what mat
tiers all this if the powder will not full
fill the only object for which it was
purchased The housewife to whom
economy isan object will avoid these
"Phosphate' powders.

Warrior knights above their bays
Wear the sacred olive crown.
Blending passion is suhdued,
Men discern their common birth,

All the peoples of the earth
High and holy are the gifts
He has lavished on the race
Hope that quics ems, prayer that lifts,
HonOr'S need and beauty'S grace.
