The Russians in carrying on war on
the Pacific coast, more than 1000
miles from their supplies of men and
materials, all of which must be for
warded over one single-track railroad,
have a problem unique in the history
of war, and their success or failure in
it deserves, and doubtless will receive,
the attention of all students in the art
of war. Before the completion of the
Siberian railroad, in the face of an
enemy as powerful as Japan is now,
for the moment superior at sea, it
could have made practically no de-
Tense. Even if a sufficient army could
have been placed in Manchuria, it
could not have been supplied.
Some two years ago. before war was
seriously thought of, it was determ-
ined to replace the 51-pound~rails with
65-pound rails west of Lake Baikal,
and otherwise to strengthen the road;
the wide intervals between stations,
which limited the number Of trains,
could be remedied by the laying of
sidings and passing tracks within a
few weeks, if material is accessible,
though not easily in a Siberian win
ter; and the Russians have the con-
just built the great railroad. The
transportation of troops over so long
a line in Siberian weather requires

provisions not heretofore made in any
country. Russian freight cars, like
those of other continental countries,
are all labeled with the number OF
men and horses which may be put in
them in military service usually 40
men or 10 horses. But what is pos
sible for journey of 200 or 300 miles
in weather not much below freezing
may be quite impossible for one last
ing two weeks or more, with the ther-
mometer 40 or SO degrees below zero.
The men must eat and sleep en- route.
To provide for this, the cars used
for carrying soldiers were lined with
felt or felt paper;' little glass windows
were set in the sides, and an iron
stove set up in each. The benches
were made so that they could be
transformed into hunks at night. At
every alternate station hot water was
provided for making tea. In nearly
every train one car was fitted as a
kitchen and supplied the men with hot
rations of meat and porridge. Shov-
else were carried, so that in case of a
snow blockade the men could dig the
train out A surgeon and hospital
steward accompanied each train. At
several stations on the line camps
were established where the men rest
ed a day, with facilities for washing,
etc., while the cars we're inspected and
cleansed.-Railroad Gazette.

Evils of Eating: Alone

tage. For due and easy nutrition
food should be taken slowly and the
mind should not be intensely exerds-
ed during the process.
Every one knows that violent bodily
exercise is bad just after meal, and
mental exertion is equally so. Wise
people do not even argue during or
just af.er dinner, and observation OF
afterdinner speakers neither endure
themselves nor excite in their hear
ers any severe intellectual effort In
fact, the experience of countless gen
erations, from the red Indian of the
woods to the white-shirted diners of a
modern party, has prepetuated the
lesson that a man should not eat
alone, nor think much at this time,
but should talk and be talked to while
he feeds. Most people do not think
much when they talk, and talking is
natural accompaniment of eating and
and drinking. How does it fare with
the many solitary women of to-day?
No better we know than with the
men, but differently. Alone or not, a
man may generally be trusted at any
time to take food enough.

In 1888 there were but forty-three
newspapers in the United States; in
1901 there were 200 weekly and seven
teen daily journals. In 1880, 852 news
papers were published $50 dailies);

In the early days of the press in
Boston the printer and the editor
were often the same. There were
few editors for the first fifty years
of American newspapers who we're not
able to set type and work press.
In mechanic equipment there was
no great change in the principles of
newspaper printing for a century after
the establishment of the Boston News

big manufactures, but by small farm
ers who sell the flowers by the pound
to the manufacturers.
About 1000 plants are required to
each acre in the rose gardens and
these yield about $4,000 pounds OF
roses. The gardens require sunny
slope and much irrigation. The
bushes are cut down to the ground
each year and the plants attain an
enormous age The flowers are picked
each morning while the dew is on
them, because it is then that they re-
tain their perfume.
During the blossoming season many
tons of roses are taken to the factories
in great baskets, where they are
dumped into big copper stills which
hold half a barrel of water each.
Then comes the distilling process
which results in rose water. The
rose water itself is afterward distilled,
and on top of the fluid which arises
from this process float oily drops.
These are very precious, for they are
the essential oil of the rose which is
known. as altar or. otto of roses...r-.,. .

There are some few happily dispos-
ed individuals, says the London Ian
Get, who can dine alone, and not eat
too fast, nor too much, nor too little.
With the majority it is different.
The average man puts his novel or
his paper before him, and thinks that
he will lengthen out the meal with
due elaboration by reading a little
with, and more between, the courses.
He will just employ his mind enough
to help, and too little to interfere with
Indigestion. In fact, he will provide
that gentle mental accomplishment
which with happier people conversa-
ton gives to meal. This is your soil
tary's excellent idea. In reality he
becomes engrossed in what he is
reading till, suddenly finding his chop
cold, he demOlishes it in few mouth
fuls; or else he finds that he is hun

7x11 inches, printed on three pages,

master, being modelled on the news

had been in the habit of preparing and
sending to the governors of the other
New England colonies.
