haroff reports that 20 officers and over
1000 men were killed or wounded In
the engagements Of July 80 and 81.
The fact that there is no further
news from the front beyond Gen. Zas-
salitch's account Of the fighting at
Simoucheng on July 81 bears out the
Associated press explanation that the
Japanese are hating to bring up sup,
plies, especially ammunition, Of which
a modern engagement entails an ex-
travagant use and without which 1t
would be impossible even for a VIC
torious army to follow up its success.
The official estimate of the loss of
more than 1000 agrees with the fig
ures In a belated dispatch from Lao
Yang referring to the same fighting
and which says that the Russians
were fully prepared to hold their posi-
tions when commanded to retire, which
was carried out in perfect order. The
tropical heat continues and there have
been many sunstrokes.

Quaint scotch Custom.

Natives of the northeast coast Of
Scotland observe a curious custom at
funerals. After the burial service the
coffin is carried outside the house and
placed upon the two chairs on which it
had rested within doors. AS soon as.
the %pallbearers lift up their burden and
begin their journey to the graveyard
these chairs are at once thrown sharp
ly on their backs. In.this position they
are kept until the interment has taken
place, when they are taken indoors
again. Any attempt to place the chairs
on their legs or to take them in before
the proper time is at once frustrated by
the relatives of the dead.
