had arrived Thursday from Chicago.

The body was taken from Dunlap's

Russians Are GUESSING.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 26.-There is
a difference of opinion among the ma
val and military officers in regard
to the purpose of the Japanese forces
at Port Arthur, but the prevailing
opinion is that il is to effect a diver
sion to cover their movements else
where. A high naval Officer said:
II cannot understand what the ia
panese hoped to accomplish. They
forget that the days of wooden, in.
ilammable ships are past. If their OBJ
ject was to block the channel, Dor.
rowing the idea from the exploit of
the Merrimac, it was equally futile,
as Ii would be easy to clear the en-
trance by blowing up the wreck We
believe the Japanese activity at Port
Arthur was a feint to engross our at
tention while they continue their dis
embarkation of troops in Korea.
do not believe at this time that they
will attempt a landing in force on the
Liaotung peninsula"
II is understood that the .battleship
Retvizan. outside the mouth of the
harbor, is acting as a guardship. The
remainder of the Russian squadron is
inside to avoid a torpedo attack.
The idea that the Japanese serious
ly contemplate bombardment OF
Port Arthur, inviting the exposing OF
their ships to a plunging fire from
the guns on Golden hill. is regarded
by military experts as absurd.

Wrinkles About Wrinkles

Now the woman who desires to
change her disposition and turn from

alone by a change of heart, but also

for the face cannot stand rough usage
The Swedish method OF face culture is
the one that develops the tired muscles
and stimulates them to perform their
duty. To get the best results from this
treatment the finger tips should be mois-
tened in salt and water and the lines
gone over carefully. Do not be rough
but go over each line and wrinkle care
fully wetting the finger tips repeatedly.
This serves to stimulate the skin and
to awaken the softened muscles. Five
minute treatments in the morning will
be found sufficient; but at night the
work is entirely different. Then the
face is introduced to a process which
serves to fill out hollows and round
uneven places. Take a saucer and pour
into it a small quantity of pure olive
oil Or pure OH of sweet almonds. If this
is not easily obtainable use a good cold
cream that is thin and soft. 1t should
be pasty, and 1t is a good idea TO place
the cream pot over the register or on
the radiator, so that the cold cream may
be soft enough TO work readily

Before wearing new stockings make a
point of having them washed. The
washing causes the threads 20 shrink
