pensing favors to financiers of standing

was raised by those who knew his char
acter, to warn the public and society
against him." So asks Mr. Arnold White
in his article on 'The Whitaker Wright
Case" in Parsons.
1.-THE answer is-because the worship
of money to-day in England has become
the avowed religion of large section of
it's upper classes. The origin of money
is immaterial; it's possession everything.
The man who can impart an effervescent
value to worthless stock is worshiped
and pursued by the votaries of pleasure
as magicians, philosophers and saints
were pursued in former times. Whita-
ker Wright pursued his course I'M

graded the most honored names in the

SCHEME by men guiltier than himself,
by corrupted press, and by those who
knew the unsoundness of his methods,

AS TO RAILWAY ACCIDENTS,
Increase h Casualties Traceable to
Physical Deficiencies and
Too Long Hours.

Railroad accidents are increasing
every month. During the months of
July, August and September last there
were 280 persons killed and 1852 in
jured in train accidents. Other acct
dents not due to train collisions make
the total number of killed and injured
l5,187. This is an increase of 181
over the number of accidents in the
preceding quarter, i. e., April, May
and June last year. This quarter
showed, also, an increase of so over
the quarter Immediately preceding.
The constant increase in the number
of fatalities and accidents on our rail-
roads, says Medical Talk for the
Home, certainly requires investiga-
ton. In spite of all the precautions
and scientific additions for the safety
of men. the destruction of men contin-
ues to increase every year.
Traced to the bottom it will be
found, we doubt not, that this increase
in casualties is due to the physical
condition of the men employed. We
do not think that any moral delin-
quency explains it. We believe it to
be partly due to the long hours Of
work, and partly due to original phys
ical deficiencies. A railroad man
ought to be a man who has regular
hours of sleep, man of good hab-
it's, man whose physical condition
is such as to give him complete pos
session of his body, steadiness of nerve
and GOODNESS of Judgment in all cases
of emergency.

ClOVerS on Wet Land

Clovers differ greatly as to their abil-
lty to live with water at their roots.
Thus, the red varieties must be grown
on land where water does not stand. A
large proportion of the failures in get
ting catches of Glove. are doubtless due
to the sowing of the seed on poorly
drained land. Wher~ the red clover is
wanted and the lane is wet, the only
thing to do is to drain it, so that the land
will dry out we'll in the spring and get
warm quickly, and so that it will remain
warm till late in the fall. Cold land is
not suitable to the growing of medium
and red clover. But with the alsike it is
different, to degree. That variety will
stand more moisture than the other
kinds, but not so much as some people
give it credit for.

POPULARITY OF HOUSEBOAT
Summer Outings on the Waterways

Dealers in boats say there is az in

way of taking summer outing is at last

the Philadelphia Record.

the Thames to such an extent as to ne

In this country the trouble seems to
have been that there is too much rather
than too little available room, and the
long reaches of water, such as those i'll
Barnegat bay and other places which
are ideal for sailing, are found rather
lonesome for living on the anchored
houseboat. 1t is to be noticed that the

REMARKABLY BRAVE JAPS.
Matchles2 Courage Displayed by the
Little Soldiers in the Battle
Of Kinchow.

Devoid of all rhetoric, thoroughly
characteristic of the man and his
achievements, is the official report of
Gen. Oku, commander of the second
Japanese army in the battle of Kin
CHOW, which included the storming of
Nanshan hill, but the bare facts chron-
1cle one of the most remarkable feats
OF arms in history, the magnitude of
the undertaking, the matchless display
OF courage on the part of the Japanese
troops, becoming more and more i'm
presslve as one reads between the lines,
says the Detroit Free Press In the face
OF prospect that to less determined
men would have meant certain defeat,
the Japanese infantry at nine o'clock in
the morning began charging up the face
OF Nanshan hill, 1000 feet in height.
upon the peak Of which the Russians
had erected permanent Notifications,
equipped with rapid fire guns and 70
heaVy cannon, and defended by more
than 1900 men. The carnage that fol-
lowed was indescribable, entire COM
panles falling in their tracks, while
those behind, exposed to the pitiless
nall OF lead from the heights above,
Infatuated rather than daunted by the
frlghtful spectacle, swept forward like
aVenglng fiends, blind to danger, bent
only on attaining the desired ends re-
CARELESS of cost. Detachment after de-
tachment stormed up the hill, their
ranks thinned by the storm of shot and
smell, but never wavering. The thought
OF failure was unknown to them. Late
in the afternoon part of the japanese
forces managed to penetrate the first
Russian line of defense on the hill, and
by an irresistible rush of the rest the
Russians were put to flight.
Beside an achievement such as this
the heroism of the patriots at Bunker
Hill, the charge of the Light Brigade
at Balaklava, our own Lookout Mountain
and Gettysburg and other bloody en-
gagements lose portion of their luster
TO attempt to detract from their glory
would be reasonable. But modern
warfare knows no such record as that
made by the Japs at Nanshan hill. Had
anyone suggested 20 years ago that the
orient would bring forth such fighters
he would have encountered the ridicule
OF American and European military
men. Yet when put to the test they
developed degree of courage, of stabil-
lty, OF absolute Indifference to danger
and devotion to duty that caused the en-
tire world to express it's admiration.
History recounts few such exhibitions
as that furnished by the Japanese
against whom the boasted defensive re-
sources of civilization appear pitifully
inadequate, and the utter determination
OF whom appears to be the only saliva
ton of their opponents. With the mem
DRY of Nanshan hill still fresh in mind
1t is little wonder the world stands in
GREATNESS expectancy, wondering where
it will all end.

SECRECY IN RUSSIAN ARMY.
Considered Bad for the Service to Al
low Individual Acts of Hero
ism to Be Exploited.

Secrecy is the keynote of the admin
istration of both the army and the navy
of Russia.
Even cases of individual heroism are
similarly concealed, except in time of
war. The theory of the service is that
every man is equal in all respects to
his comrade of the same rank He is
as brave, as efficient and as loyal. 1t
is considered bad for the service to al
low the limelight to fall upon partic-
ular men, however heroically they may
have acted, says the Louisville Courier
Journal. And it is considered to be bad
for the men, too-in which belief the
Russian administration shows a pretty
good knowledge of human nature.
A sailor may jump overheard and
rescue his captain from death in shark
infested waters or stoker NAV dare
appalling danger to save the life of a
comrade in an engine room accident.
In due course, he will be rewarded and
promoted, and throughout his career
his superiors will remember the deed
in his favor, but it will never become
public. Rewards, promotions and dis
tinctions are announced only in war
time or in cases of very exceptional
merit and even in those cases no refer
ence whatever is made to the occasion
of the reward or special commentator
in any published reports or orders
One branch of the Russian army is
totally unlike any force possessed by
other civilized powers 1t is, of course
the Cossack levy, which numbers 49,
900 men. Every able-bodied Cossack is
liable to service, without limit of age.
He becomes liable at 10, and the liabil-
ity does not cease so long as he is able
to ride horse or carry gun But only
a proportion of the Cossacks serve at
one time. The rest are granted "un-
limited leave" or belong to the reserve
The stimulus which provokes the en-
ergy and fighting qualities of the Rus
sian soldier, melting to greater patriot
ism and love of country, is unquestion-
ably traced to the great interest mani
tested by the ruler of all the Russias
at all times for the men who fight his
battles

THE FATTENlNG OF GEESE.
How the Article Known Comm ercially
as "Foie Gras" Is Produced
in France.

The most extreme method CT artif-
cial fattening is employed with geese
whose livers are to be used for the
'delicacy known as ''fOi gras" (fat
liver). This art of fattening geese I'M
til fatty iniltration of the liver has
set in and that organ weighs from 21a
to three pounds is practiced on large
scale about Strasburg, and to less ex-
tent about Toulouse and elsewhere.
The birds are usually confined in small,
dark cages; they can move only a few
inches, and are fed two or three times
day, commonly with all the ground
maize or wheat-four paste they can
be made to eat. When they have be-
come very fat, usually at the end of
about three weeks. they are killed and
the livers removed
The livers, which are perhaps no
more abnormal than the flesh of an
over-fed hog, commonly appear in our
market in jars or tins in three distinct
forms. Foie gras au naturel, pate de
foie gras (by far the most popular)
and PURGE de foie gras. The foie gras
au naturel is simply the liver pre-
served without any dressing. The
pates are made of large pieces Of the
liver, cooked and dressed with truf-
f1es and other condiments. These
pieces are fitted into cans by trim
ming off the edges, and are covered
with melted goose fat or suet Many
persons find the flavor of the goose
fat too strong and prefer the suet. The
trimmings of the liver in the pates
are preserved with truf11es, etc.. and
sold as PURGE de foie gras.-Bulletin

CHAPTER VIII.-CoNr1NUED.
The Revenge had been at sea for
about a week and all had gone we'll,
except she had taken no prizes. The
crew had been obedient and fairly or
derly, and, if they made fun of their
farmer-captain behind his back, they
showed no disrespect when his eyes
were upon them. The fact was that
the most of them had a very great
respect for him as the capitalist OF
the ships company.
Big Sam had early begun to sound
the temper of the men, but they had
not cared to listen to him. Good fare
they had and generous treatment, and
the less they thought of Bonnet as a
navigator and commander, the more
they thought of his promises of rich
spoi!s to be fairly divided with them
when they should capture Spanish
galieon or any well-laden merchant
man bound for the marts OF Europe
In fact, when such good luck should
be1all them, they would greatly prefer
to lind themselves serving under Bon
net than under Big Sam. The latter
was known as greedy scoundrel, who
would take much and give little, being
inclined, moreover, to cheat his ship
mates out of even that little if the
chance came to him.
Thus Big Sam found that his time
had not arrived, and he swore in his
soul that his old shipmate would some

All entomologists through the length

fact that some particular and very rare
butterfly or moth will recur again and
again In due season in one small planta-
tlon OF very few acres, and yet will
not be found in any other spot for 100
miles round, though a vast fortune were
offered for single specimen. To such
favored spot ardent entomologists
will flock from all parts of the king
dom, and will pay fee to be allowed
to hunt for the insect itself or for it's
caterpillar or chrysalis. In one case a
Lincolnshire farmer has realized a small
fortune from a dismal swampy meadow
surrounded by dikes and small willow
trees, for in this field specimens of the
gorgeous "Camberwell Beauty" butter
fly have been found when thew have
been almost wholly non-existent else

give the name of the place exactly, the
writer could point out one small planta-

there, brings in to the owner an average

land is only very few pounds.

SHIPS MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.
