ST. .PETER-LE-POER
HISTORIC LONDON CHURCH TO
 BE TORN DOWN.
It Is One of the Few Completely Round Church Buildings in the British Empire-stands on His
 toric Ground

As there is no opposition totEe scheme of the bishop Of London for the demoli- tion of the Church Of St Peter-le-Poer, Broad street. 1t may be that this little Georgian edifice Will be ra2ed to the ground. Unlike the Church of St. Mary. Aldermanbury, which was threatened by the bishop short time ago. St. Peter le-Poer has no striking features to rec ommend it for protection. Ii has no in- teresting historical associations; it is not a beautiful church; il .s not ali old church; it was not built by Wren and final ly it is not even useful church. In fact. the building has one, and only one, claim upon British regard Ii is one of the very few completely round churches iG the British kingdom. and probably the only round church built SO late as the eighteenth century.
 The diligent may trace the Church of St. Peter-lePoer back to Norman times Git is mentioned as early as 11S1). but in the middle of the thirteenth century, when all England was stirring under the impetus occasioned by the Coming of

Russias Problem.

When we look back upon the num- ericaI superority which We required in order to crush the resistance of some 50,0j0 to 70.o00 Boers in South Africa, who were ultimately cut off from all communication with the outer world, and especially upon the tremendous strain which the maintenance of our forces imposed upon our double line of communications from the coast, it is hard to believe that the single Siberian railway can ever transport and supply aad mainsaia a Russian force in sHf dc,eut numbers to )yerwhelm a Japan csc army of 900, 900 men, with reserves of the same strength at it's back, and operating close to it's natural base, with all the resources of a nation of over 10000 O00 inhabitants to draw up- on. free from all molestation so long as it commands the sea AS for finan- Cial resources. the disparity between Russia and Japan is also 1 believe more apparent than real. It is obvious
 
 must enormously exceed that of Japan and though Russia for various reasons enjoys facilities of credit abroad which Japan can hardly hope for, the ex- tclvaglut scale of normal expenditure in Russia, together with the existence of widespread disaffeetion, renders the financial situation at home relatively much less elastic than it is i'll Japan, where no burden of taxation will be considered intolerable for the purpose of carrying to successful issue a struggle which her intensely patriotic aud united people know to be life and-death struggle Moreover, in the Japanese military and naval services the very highest standard of pecuniary integrity is the rule, where as we know from Russian writers themselves how deep the gangrene of corruption has eaten not only into the civil but into the naval and military administration in Russia-London National Review

THE HAPPYFYlNC PERSON.
An Enviable Reputation to Which Emily Howe" Could Not
 Lay Claim.

Mrs. Brown climbed the steps anG dropped wearily into one of the big chairs on the Hamilton piazza. The Hamiltons were summer people. and Mrs. Brown had never been 20 miles away from South GCsport in her life, but warm friendship had quickly lev eled all distinctions between the two families. relates Youths Companion.
 Yes Mrs. Brown said in reply to her hostess greeting. its been an age since I've been over, know. but we've been having company; and 'tisn that either-I wouldn't have minded the eX- tra work even with mother sick. but well, it was Emily Howe. and you've met Emily. so mebbe you'll understand. She isn't exactly what you'd call hap pyfying person.
 The Hamiltons understood: they had exchanged calls with Emi ' Howe sever al times. and always. although they were conscious of nothing but the sunniest of mental tempers at the beginning of the call, it's close invariably found them un- accountably depressed. Clorinda. who was young and had not yet learned the long and gentle art Of charitable speech spoke suddenly before her mother could prevent her; it was not easy to prevent Clorinda:
 Emily Howe, she declared, lis like the climate of Scotland as I've read of it -one perpetual drizzle And there are some things-feathers, and my hair, and afternoon calls and certain enthusiasms that can't stand drizzle, and nothing wants to be driZzled upon all the time !"
 No, Emily Howe certainly was not "happyfying, but the quaint word might well set one 10 thinking of the many peoIle who could wear it honor ably-the sunny. cheery warm-hearted people full of interest in life and love for humanity and faith in God They may not be brilliant or cultured or intellectu- al but everywhere they go they carry an atmosphere of ease and charm 10 which others yield as quickly as to the welcome of an open fire on bleak day. After all. could one wish a finer thing than just to be. wherever life has placed one "happyfying' person?

THE END-SEAT MAN REBELS
Will Not Have Anybody Standing in Front of Him in the
 Street Car.

New Workers are so good natured as a rule and have become So used to hay- ing their feet trodden npon in the crowded surface and elevated cars that it is very seldom that anyone utters remonstraIce against crowding. In the open cars 1t is no uncomnon thing to see five people standing between the seats, says the Sun.
 An effective stand against this prae- tice of doubling the capacity of the car was made the other day when big man took an end seat on an open car bound uptown on Third avenue. The other seats were full.
 The man at the end opened his paper and was preparing to make himself com fortable for the long ride 10 Harlem. when young man started to get in front of him. with the intention Of standing up for his ride. He didn't suc- ceed, for the big fellow promptly stretched his arm across and took hold of the back of the seat in front and re- fused to let the young fellow in.
 You can't get in here, young fellow. he said The seat is full and there's no room
 That's all right" was the reply q want to get in there and stand up
 No you don't returned the big fei- low. T don't propose to have anyone standing in front of me I've paid five cents for my seat and that entities me to all the space in front of me to the back of the next seat and propose to enjoy it. Now" he added as the young fellow started to reply there's no use talking about it. YoI can't get in and that set ties it. don't think you are big enough 10 get past me if don't want you to, and won't let you do it."
 The young fellow looked al the saan for minute or two as though he'd like to tackle him and test his ability in the fighting line, but he finally thought bet ter of it and appealed to the conductor. The conductor requested the big man to let the other fellow pass in front of him. but the big man firmly refused, and rode on his way 10 Harlem in full enjoy ment of his paper and the seat he hid paid for.

YOUNG TRAINED TO GAMBLE
Children Held UP to the Tables to Play at the "Ferias" in
 Mexico.

The most enthusiastic and successful gambling tournament. CT Mexican feria. ever held at Zapata came to a close the other day. There were more different kinds of games of chance. more and het- ter cock fights and horse races than were ever witnessed in these parts before. says the Galveston (Tex) News of re- cent date
 The plan followed is for some per son, usually successful gambler, to ob- tain from the proper authorities permis- sion to use the public square or plaza for feria. Having obtained this he then proceeds to sell concessions tu pe1- pie fer the erection of temporary quar- ters on the square for restaurants. roul- cite, monte. red lemonade and the like
 This brings in to the impresario quite sum ot money. part of which he must use to pay for lights, music and official protection. A good portion of this money is also used in advertising the feria
 The restaurant and gaming tables are arranged around the outer edge of the plaza, and band stand. or seats with a light. is placed in the center for musi- clans, leaving wide promenade where the people pass the time dancing and isteniag to the music when not Elaying some of the games
 The most popular of the games for woman and children is called "4oteria !" II is much like the American game of keno. and is about as fair a game as anyone could gamble at.
 Tae professional gambler does not take much to this game as he has no chance to get in his sleight-of- hand work. He is. however. at no loss for games where his nimbe fingers can hring him much honor and goodly sum of the hard-earned money of the fool who tries to live by honest work and thinks he can beat the professional gambler at his own game
 All ages. sexes and conditions of peo- pie may be seen playing at the same game Sometimes a mother or father can be seen holding up a small child in order that it can reach the top of the table to try it's luck on some game of chance
 Horse racing and cock fighting create mere enthusiasm than anything else. and every impresario always arranges 10 have continuous performance of this sport during the day to keep the excitement at it's proper pitch to make the victims as easy mark at night
 There is TO odium whatever atttached 10 gambling in any of its forms by inc people in this section as a rule ln fact q successful gambler is looked upon ny a majority as quite a hero and, like h:s better known and more popular brother of the trust and stock exchanges, is in line for promotion to some high po- litical office.

TERRkPiN SLOW TRAVELLER
Took This One Twenty Years to Cover a Distance of Two
 Miles and a Half.

Thomas S Stadden, prominent resi- dent of Wadesville Clarke county. and former resident of Winchester was in this city recently and brought with him a terrapin which has rather re- markable and certainly a most unusual. history, says the Winchester Na1 News
 Just 30 years ago. in 1874. MT. Stad- den came across the terrapin on his farm. and on the bottom of its shell he inscribed the date. Every time since then that he has seen the terrapin he has out the date on the shell. and the entries are as follows: 1874, 1875, 1879. 1880. 1881. 1882 and 1884.
 On the latter date Mir Stadden car ried the terrapin to a spot near Stephen sons. fully two and one~half miles from home, and then turned it loose. Mir. Stadden has always held to the theory that terrapin and turtles will endeavor to wander back to the spot Of their birth, and to test the theory the terrapin was taken to Stephensons.
 That was 20 years ago, and during all the intervening two decades MT Stadden never saw his pet In fact he had forgotten all about il until ore day recently he came across a terrapin 90 fears old Turning the terrapin over. ne was amazed to find that it was his lors lost pet. There were all the dates. the initials that had been placed there rom time to time. grown larger of course, with the terrapin but just as dis .inct almost as the day they were cut l there.

AN ESKIMO SALMON-TRAP.
Simple Contrivance by Which Many Large Fish Are Easily
 Taken.

The Eskimos along the Yukon river have an odd method of catching salm- on, which is described by Mir. Jeremiah Lynch in Three Years in the Klon- dike 7"
 The Eskimos, take boards foot wide and an inch thick and nail them together lengthwise in a triangular spout. little wider than good sized salmon. This is submerged in five feet of water a foot from the surface and 20 yards from the shore.
 The salmon, swimming along the side of the shore against the strong current. go straight into this simple trap and cannot get back. and those in the rear press on those in front.
 We saw Is large salmon taken from one Of these spouts in a few minutes. and the Indians said they caught scores every day while the run con- tinued.
 At an old Russian settlement we observed how the natives live and pre- pare for the winter The fish were running plentifully, and every Indian, even 10 the little children. was busy bringing them up from the bank open ing them and hanging them on the trees. CT temporary scaffolds. or tops of huts and cabins. in every conceiv- able place where a salmon could be put to dry out of reach of the dogs.
 The run lasts about six weeks, and in that interval the natives must pro vide food for their families and their dogs until next season. Very few wild animals exist on this lower Yu- kon, and with the addition of geese and ducks. salmon is the only food that the country provides for its in habitants. No grain is cultivated The Indians buy flour and light sup plies from the traders, paying in dogs and furs, for they trap all through the long winter"

If Russia receives decided defeat at the hands of the Japanese, then the sitaatjen of the government and the whole regime will become more seri- oIs; for in this case, it is the reyolu- ti0aary parties that will come decid- ely 10 tha fore and that will take the lead T the reform movement.

Couldn't Keep ,Em Awake.

Pew sieepers are one of the bug belr5 of preachers, said Rev Robert COljyer the veteran New York minis ta-. T clu speak feelingly from expe- r(eaee On one occasion when Henry Watd Beecher asked me to go to Plymouth church 10 talk to his people, he remarked-iokingly. let us hope that most of them were hard work ing folks, who needed plenty of rest on Sunday and he felt that sermon from ne might be gratefully received.
 In the course of my talk men toned this and said that il was, how ever q matter upon which my feelings could not be hurt, and that owed this imperviousness to Mir. Beecher himself. 1 told them that one Sunday, year. be- fore, when l was attending a service lt old Plymouth and MT Beeeher was laundering forth, saw one of his deaeOns asleep in a front pew
 T went on to say that always after this whenever I saw man slumber- ing peacefully through my most stir ring efforts in the pulpit, I would say to myself. We'll let him sleep; even the great Beecher can't keep 'em all awake '-S1ceess.
