A Lesson of Life.

A story that impressed itself upon
our mind most wildly was one which
we heard when but small child. 1t
was used to illustrate the value OF little
things In life as builders or destroyers OF
character. All of the machinery of a
great mill, covering many acres, one day
stopped dead still and refused to move.
After several days examination, which
revealed no cause for the sudden baking,
an expert machinist was summoned, and
his labor resulted in the finding of very
small burr, which had fallen down into
the machinery and in some manner STOP
ped it. 1t had been left, by the work
men who built the mill, upon a rafter
above the machinery. and the constant
Earring from the pulleys had propelled it
across this beam. and for several feet a
track was left in the dust BY this little
burr in its course. A very small neglect,
long since forgotten, but finally result.
ant in several hundred dollars loss of
time and expense.
So 1t is in life. Little things which |
We neglect and forget about finally turn
up, blocking our pathway. Little words
we drop apout some of our acquaint-
ances-only little things, and meant to
be harmless, bv US. but in the hands OF
others, most detrimental to the one of
whom they were said; and when finally
they do turn up, not being changed or
added to in the least, only said in diff.
ferent tone, they cause as much regret at
having said them
Little habits which we form uncon.
at the time OF no mo
ment whatever-run along, undermining
some good trait OF charachter, until
finally it has gone beyond our control.
Watch the little things, and the big things
will take care of themselves 1t is the
little things which cause the heart aches,
the sorrow and the regret. Be careful
what you say, idly, what you do almost
ANONYMOUSLY, for YOU may be treading
,pon the feelings Of dear friend.

FIGHT AT CHEMULPO.
Account from the Officers of Variag
and Kor:etz.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 19.-The govern
ment, today, received from the officers
OF the Variag and Korietz, who are
now at Shanghai their account of the
fight at Chemulpo. The account shows
the admirable handling of the Russian
warships in the face of overwhelming
ODDS. The officers confirm the state
ment that when the Japanese squad
ron of eight warships appeared off
Chemulro they We're met by the small
torpedo gunboat KorietZ, which had
been sent out to reconnoitre; that the
koretz, on sighting the Japanese
squadron Immediately returned to the
horbor and rejoined the Variag. and
that the japanese followed to the
mouth of the harbor and sent the Rus
slams a peremptOry summons to sur
render. This message, the officers add,
was disregarded, whereupon the Jap
anese threatened to enter the harbOr
and engage the Russians there. AS this
would have endangered the other YES
sells in the harbor, including the French
and other foreign warships, Captain
Foudnef, of the Variag. senior officer
boldly gave orders that both vessels
steam out and meet the enemy. The
fight outside between the Variag and
KorietZ and the japanese warships re-
suited, according to the officers report
in the sinking of two Japanese war;
ships, one cruiser and one torpedo
boat destroyer, and the Gripping of a
third vessel. The Russian ships We're
repeatedly struck, but they succeeded
in re-entering the harbOr, where the
captains decided to blow up their ships
to prevent them from falling into the
hands of the enemy. The survivors of
the crew We're taken off and the two
WdrShipS We're soon on fire. The Rus
slams also blew up a small steamer, the
Sungari, which was acting as a ten>
der to the Nariag.
The few st. Petersburg people who
have just heard the authentic news of
the Chemulpo fight, are eloquent in
their praise of the skillful and gallant
conduct OF the NariaE's captain. They
say he inflicted all the damage possible
to the cnemy'S vessels and then de-
Stroyed his own ships. More than that
Il sailor could not do in the face of such
tremendous odds.
There is no question of Russia max
ing protest against the Japanese adj
imrals' attack as a breach of neutrality,
as Corea, being occupied by Japanese
troops, has lost her neutrality.

FRANCES NEUTRALITY.
Matter Of Its Regulation Question Of
Custom.

Paris, Feb. 13.-It is announced Off
cially that the French government has
issued instructions relative to the OBJ
servance of neutrality and that prac-
ticaly. they are the same as those is
sued by the late Admiral Besnard, the
former marine minister, concerning
the observance of neutrality during
the Sranish-American war. But it is
pointed out that the French navigation
laws contain no positive requirement
that belligerent ships shall leave a
neutral port within "a hours and that
therefore, this matter is one of regu-
lation by custom, instead of being a
legal requirement as under the Brit
i:h naval laws.
No change has yet been made rela-
tive to permitting the Russian squad
ron to remain at .ibutil, French Som
aliland, the authorities evidently being
DESTROYS to fully observe the require
nlents of neutrality without unneces-
sarily causing offence or embarrass-
ment to a power with which France is
closely allied.
