side with Russia against the yellow races. 4 sample of the general tone may be found in the St. Petersburg Gazette. which says: We shall be in a position not only to beat off an at tack, but also to take vengeance both on our deceitful pfstended friends and on our avowed foes. And the time is come to do it. The nation is now unit ed once more. The nightmare of our internal misunderstanding had led us to such a pass that men no longer feared to insult us. We were openly 1euted by those who reckoned on our weakness in consequence of internal dis sension. We have now to show these neutral belligerents' that this dissen- sion among us is only in appearance, the result of mutual want of under standing. In reality. however, We are strong in our oneness, and ready to stand up in defence of our honor
 Neutral belligerents'' is pretty good, but the Gazette is evidently in a state of mind. It will perhaps feel better when there is news of Russian vic- tory.

LoYE AND LIFE.

When a loving man suddenly finds tha. his best girl doesn't love him and does love another he usually doesn't care much about living long, and often is sure he wont. Kind and experienced friends attempt to sustain him by pre- dictions that he will live to love again, and the doctor to whom he appeals for relief from his woe tells him that he couldn't die If he wanted to. By and by he finds cut that love isn't fatal in his case. and he begins to discover that long life may be desirable. and that pos sibly his disappointment has improved his health and his outlook.
 We are moved to make these brief re- marks by the testimony of Noah Raby. who died in the poorhouse at Piscata- way. New Jersey, the other day at the ripe old age of 1s2. He had used tobac- co for 12O years. and he thought well of that as an aid to long life. More ex- tended views on the influence Of condi- tions upon long life were drawn out by his recollections of love affair in early life. when the girl of his heart gave him the mitten. In his old age he thought this also contributed to his length of days, and expressing his be- l lief that if he had married he would not have lived so long, concluded as fol- lows: If you want to live to good old age. don't get married, don't get scared. don't get worried. don't get too much work. don't set into fights, and don't get drunk too often
 e course old Noah couldn't tell how long he would have lived had he been loved and married, but it is interesting to notice that he came to think that that which he once thought was going to break him was really blessing in dis guise, if it is a blessing to live to be 132.

ANOTHER.


 Fortunately for the world, MT. Car negie is not the only man who doesn' t want to try to get into Heaven with a heavy burden of money. MT. Jamset- l ice Nusserwanji Tata of Bombay is a typical Parsee, who has amassed an enormous fortune as a merchant and manufacturer, has won an enviable reputation for integrity, enterprise and public spirit, and is now enjoying the qualification that men of his kind de- serve after long career of activity and usefulness. Having provided in a most ample manner for his own future business responsibilities to his sons, he is devoting the rest of his life to travel ton of his fortune to benevolence Mir. Tata's latest act of benevolence was to place in the hands of a board of trus- tees, of whom the chancellor of the University of Bombay is chairman, real
 estate and securities valued at more than s,5oo,0oO of rspees, which is equiva- lent to about s1,25o, ,0oO, the income from which, amounting to 12o,Ooo rupees, or about $4o,ooo in our money. a year, is
 to be used for the establishment and perpetual maintenance of the Indian
 Research university, name selected by conference called together by the viceroy.
 Good for MT, Tata, if that is the way
 to call him. We wish him the peace land joy he deserves and an abundant entrance into Heaven.

vegetable matter. and since his fond ness for corn. fruit and other farm orodree is we'll known. he must cause the farmer enormous losses. Let Us ex- Iamine the evidence. The vegetable food of the blue jay was found to consist of mast" such as acorns. chestnuts. beechnuts. hazelnuts and sumae; grain. such as corn, wheat. oats and buck wheat. fruit. such as apples. straw berries, blaekberIies. mulberries blue berries, huckleberries. wild cherries. ohokecherries. wild grapes and elder berries. and miscellaneous things such as eak gals. mushrooms and tubers. Now for the proportions. The mast amounted to forty-two per cent, of the whole food for the year, corn less than IS per cent. wheat, oats and buckwheat together. rather more than one and a hals per cent. The apples were found only in January, February and March, and consequently were merely frozen fruit left to decay on the trees. Of the many fresh fruits eaten between March and October, only four, strawberries. Icurrants. blaekberries and mulberries, were of the kinds which are cultivated. The miscellaneous things were found in but few stomachs, ard constituted but a very small percentage Of the whole food.
 On the whole. it was found that the blue jay was most desirable bird to have. either as an ally of the farmer, who pays but a meagre oittance for beneGtS reeeived o,. ac q 1,an7ro,,,, jolly neignbor who is with US the year round. and who cheers us with his bright plumage and clever mimiery when bird lie is at it's ebb.

YIRGINIA,s oLD STATE HonsE.

Virginia has an old State house, but it isn't going to be torn down. The legislature has passed a bill to pre- serve and enlarge it. Commodious wings are tp be added to the present structure, providing halls in which the two branches of the general assembly will meet. There will be a broad stone stairway to the portico on the south side of the Capitol. This stairway will be ornamented by statuary. The build ing will be made fireproof as far as possible, by the removal of all wood- work. Elevators will be installed, the floors will be tiled and ornate stairways will be put in. The present Capitol of the Old Dominion was built after de- sign suggested by Thomas Jefferson and modified in some degree by the Virginia authorities. It is in many features a reproduction of the Maison Carree at Nismes, France. By artists anu aFCLiL6ctS II IS nlSHly cOlSiu6feu for the classic beauty of it's contour and the accuracy of it's proportions. Work on the Capitol was begun in 17S5. The building. although not entirely completed then. was occupied by the general assembly in 17s9. on October 19, in the celebration Of the eighth anni- versary of the surrender of Cornwalls at Yorktown. Tn the Capitol is the marble statue of George Washington by Houdon, the famous French sculp- tor of that period. The building was the capitol of the Southern Confederacy until the evacuation of Richmond in April, 1865.
 We congratulate the people of Vir- ginia on the fact that their historic State house is not going to be allowed to become ruin for the moon to shine beautifully on.

NEEDED INVENTIONS.
Many Bertile Brains Working Toward
 Similar Goals.

Many Bertile Brains Working Toward
 Similar Goals,
 T will begin with what may be reckoned our domestic primaries, or the matters which affect us immediate ly in the familiar circle of home life, :" says Hudson Maxim, writing in The Woman's Home Companion about Inventions that ought to be invented. T refer to inventions which have to do with light, heat and food. Obvi- ously there is scope for an immense revolution. Hundreds of electricians are at this moment striving to corn- struct lamps in which nothing is com sumed save the electrical energy ap- piled to them-lamps that have the radiance of the sun and the coldness of the moon. The reason why deter mined study Is thus being prosecuted with respect to illumiEants is the need for lamps of longer life and purer light than the arc and incandesceut lamps now in vogue. The economy of these is not high enough. They are not really very superior to the best forms of gas, (which, for cheapness, still holds it's own.
 With regard to the great fuel prob lem, it is well known that MT. Edison is concentrating much of his attention on the higher economics of the use of coal. Coal is king to-day. The i'm mediate task of scientists is to draw from this commodity something like it's real value in work, so as to obvi- ate the enormous waste involved in present methods MT. Edison declares that a bucketful of coal should drive an express train from New York to Philadelphia, and few tons be suffi- cient for the largest ocean steamship, whose bunkers must now hold thous- ands. The Oceanic consumes a ton of coal every three minutes, or about five hundred tons day, during her voyage between New York and Liverpool. But a single pound of coal burned under perfect conditions would do as much work as the strongest hodcarrier climb- ing stairs or ladder with brick and morton during a weary day of ten hours working time. At present we waste six-sevenths of the value of coal. Our inventors vii know no rest until they have found the furnace, the engine or the appliance, or whatever

 mand wireless telephone and telegraph circuits which will span the circuit of the globe, 50 that it will be as easy to telephone from New York to Picking as from New York to Brooklyn. Our descendants will not be satisfied if the scientists of the next generation do not enable them with greater facility and economy to witness by perfected kinenat atographs the weddings of any their friends at the antipodes. the bat ties being fought on the other side of the world and the races of horses, yachts and boats in every land. Bal looms will rise high above contending armies, and with automatic cameras will snapshot the whole scene, bringing down forthwith to the respective gen. erals perfect pictures of their enemies forces.

QUEFR TALK RUSSf4

It would seem that the Russians have trouble enough just now without bor- rowing any, but a correspondent of the London Standard, writing from Mos- COW, says that the almost universal note of the Russian press at this june ture is one Of braggadocio, mingled with great bitterness against the United States and Great Britain. An exception is found in the case of the Novosti, which holds that in the long run the Anglo-saxon race will be compelled to

A new metal similar to aluminium, but Of still less weight, has been discovered by the French engineer, Albert Nodon, and called medium" after him. It is manufactured by an electric process. In color. luster and structure it is almost exactly like steel. It's specific weight when molten is only 2.4. Its resistance against breaking is given as about twenty pounds a square of GOA inch. lis constancy in the air is higher than that of aluminium. It's ductility is be- tween six to eight inches. The malle- ability can be compared to that of bronze. It melts at about 500 degrees.

Monographs were used as spellbind- CTS at Des Moines, Iowa, in the con- gress. campaign of Congressman Hull for renomination. His opponent, Judge Prouty. unable to keep all of his speak ing dates, spoke before the machines and numerous records were made. The machines were placed on street corners, in hotel lobbies and cigar stores. So novel was the new plan of speech-mak- ing that hundreds stayed away from the Hull mass meeting at the audito- rum, and wildly cheered the speeches made through the photographs.

In the old days of cycling the courts were frequently called upon to decide whether or not a bicycle is a vehicle in 8. sense entitling it to rights on the highway. Now the English, courts are confronted with a similar problem as to whether a motor cycle is carriage, and as such subject to the inland reve- nue tax. The contention is made by the Auto-Cycle club that, since a motor cycle can be pushed by the pedals alone, it should rank with the bicycle, and as a poor mans vehicle be exempt from heavy taxation.

Novel Winter Fishino

Men and boys of the west end of
town have been having a harvest
during the past three or four days
catching fish at Rempel's and Whites
ponds, west of town. During the
past summer, on account of the light
rainfall, the water in these two
ponds was very low; and in fact,
for the past three months there has
been no outlet from either pond.
When the freezing water of the
past ten days came ice soon formed,
ana, covering every air hole, caused
the fish to come beneath the ice in
hopes of getting air. The boys who
first tested the breaking Qualities of
the ice in hopes of being the first to
skate were the ones to discover the
predicament of the fish.
The news sooa spread, and last
Friday and Saturday 100 men and
boys were bHsiiy engaged in securing
fresh fish for the table. Hatehets
and axes were used as the death-deal-
ing implements, and when a school
of fish were sighted beneath, the ice
was struck a hard blow. The fish
were stunned. A hole was then
chopped through the ice and the fish
secured. Several hundred pounds of
fish were secured, the majority of
them being carp.-Logan (Ohio)

Auto-Cars for smugglers.

The latest use to which the high
speed automobile has been nut in
France is smuggling. A few days ago
a motor car with a large quantity Of
tobacco on board rushed past the Gus
tom house station at Hszelruck at
sixty miles an hour. and had disap-
peared before the astonished custom
house officers had realized what had
happened. The smuggiers had cover
ed the automobile with a sacking. so
that it was impossible TO telegraph it's
number or description to the authori-
ties farther on.
As the custom house officers were
convinced that the smugglers would
repeat their exploit they prepared TO
arrest their progress By holding a
length Of wire rope in readiness to bar
the route. Their expecta tons were
realized. Monday last the same auto
mobile was seen coming down the
road Ike a whirlwind The custom
house officers brought out their wire
rope, but showed il too soon. The
smuggler- chauffeurs noticed It. wheel
ed TO the right. ran alongside the rail-
way. then shot across the line at
lever crossing and disappeared on
French territory in cloud OF dust
