Thought Kuropatkin
Could Hold Liaoyang

st. Petersburg. Aug. 30.-The long
expected battle at Liaoyang has begun.
and the two armies are now fighting
what probably will prove to be the de.
cisive battle OF the campaign. The
japanese armies are attacking General
Kuropatkin's forces upon his chosen
ground and his friends and admirers
here are confident that. having accept.
ed general engagement, he will de.
feat the japanese.
In a brief telegram received this
morning, Kuropatkin says the general
advance of the japanese began yester.
day at noon. the Russian outposts fall.
ing back upon the mainland. The heav.
lest fighting was taking place, when
his dispatch was sent, from point ten
miles southeast Of Liaoyang, where the
japanese seemed to be concentrating
for their main battle. The Russians
suffered principally from the shrapnel
fire Of the japanese artillery.
The japanese selected the Mikado's
birthday for the decisive battle, and IL

The Russian forces are disposed at
liaoyang to meet the onslaught of the
three japanese armies described In
these dispatches yesterday. A tele.
gram from Kuropatkin, which gives
this information. together with the de-
tails Of the retirement of the Russian
troops upon Liaoyang, has not been out
for strategic reasons. The combined
armies OF Generals Kuroki, Oku and
Nodzu probably exceed 100000 men
Their forces are considerably superior
In numbers to General Kuropatkin's
but the Russian commander.in In. lei
probably relies upon the strength and
character Of his position to overcome
the disparity In numbers.
The War Office Is waiting with
breathless anxiety for news OF the
progress and issue OF the battle on
which so much depends.

islands. incidentally going over the de-

re-drafting, as working basis. the
cumbersomeness and the pitfalls Of the
law that was declared invalid, become
more apparent. To those who watch
the progress of the men who have In
hand the construction Of a new act, az
the old work Is held up for comparison
with what 1t Is desired to make the
new law, the Identification with county
laws Of California and other States be.
comes not only clearly. but sometimes
amusingly, apparent.
For example: Subdivision 81 Of SEQ
ton 22. Chapter s, of the 1903 County
Act, says: (the Board Of Supervisors
shall have jurisdiction) ITO provide
for the destruction of rats. mongoose
and other wild animals, noXious weeds,
and insects injurious to fruit or fruiJ
trees or vines or vegetable and plant
life"
A reference to the California Law
reveals the source of the above. Says
tsst law: ITO provide for the dcstruc'
ton of gophers. squirrels and other
wild animals"
Last evening. Chairman Cooper and
Commissioners Stewart and Watson he.
ing present, the Commission struck
out Subdivision "a.
The following subdivision, %, of the
invalid law, created some discussion:

Sheriff, whose compensation shall bs
fixed by the Board, upon the public

ways, or public buildings, or In such
other places as may be deemed advis

This was also copied from Califor
MIA.
Chairman Cooper emphatically stat
ed that he deemed the provision unlaw
ful. Commissioner Stewart declared
THAT Il should be stricken ont Com
missioner Watson held IL unconstitu
tional and the paragraph was killed
then and there.
II was realized that there is a biz
Iauestion whether a misdemeanant car

Subdivision l3 was altered. IL read

The Art Of Letter.Writinq.

When we come 10 personal letters.
the most intimate and important Of
all, it may frankly be acknowledged
that the Complete Letter-writer stops
at the threshold. To put ourselves
our best selves-on paper, is the prob
lem, and there is no greater one in
the whole range of human intercourse.
Yet, if We fail, if we put a foolish or
mistaken self on the page, the letter
had better never leave the desk.
Hence comes the first law Of personal
letter-writing-do not try too much.
Do not try to be as spontaneous as
in conversation. Do not try to be as
frank as when face to face with an
other. Consider the limits Of paper
and ink. Suggest, rather than ex-
plain, your feelings and ideas. Make
the letter short rather than long. 1t
is really hard to fail on four-page
letter; but if one does, two-page
letter is the next resource. II these
two pages can be carefully written, in
good English; if they convey sin
cere and pleasant message; if they
contain nothing that offends-then
that letter Is not failure, though it
may not be brilliant success. The
thing to be avoided is the rambling
letter. the indiscreet letter, the gush-
ing letter, the insipid letter.-Harpcrs
Bazar.

Profit in Guineas.

One branch Of the poultry business
has been very much neglected, and
that is guinea raising.
A flock Of. guineas are about the
most profitable that can be kept if
they can have the range of the farm.
The common guinea is just as good
as the albino or white variety, but
when cooked the flesh is not Sc white.
In the morning when let out Of the
poultry house they often stop no long
or than to pick up little of the grain
given to the flock before they wander
to the fields in search of weed seeds
and bugs which they like better than
anything that can be given them. They
never become tame like hens. They
will lay in the nests with the hens dur
ing the forepart Of the season, but
when ready to set they will steal Off
anu hide their nests and hatch their
eggs unless watched. Do not let them
hatch their OVID eggs, as they are most
careless mothers and a guinea hen
that will raise two chicks out Of 20
hatched will be doing pretty well.
Hatch them under hens and let the
hens raise them. They will develop a
great affection for their foster moth
er, refusing to be weaned during the
whole season and following her faith
fully whenever she is out of the poul-
try house. When first Matched guineas
are exceedingly wild and unless con-
fined will wander off and perish, leav-
ing the nest very frequently and with.
In two or three hours after Matching.
Guinea eggs do not sell we'll on the
market because of the small size, but
for house use they are as good as any
aud are produced in such abundance
and at such little cost that any one can
afford to keep flock for the eggs. Be.
sides being a cheerful bird, they are
SIS good as watch dog to tell when
strangers are around. They detect a
stranger as soon as he comes near and
set up their shrill cries. They also
serve to frighten off hawks "a they
are suye to raise q clamor II pas
