old, hallowed and time -honored ways OF
reason as in days gone by-particularly
some days rhat shine bright nnd illus-
trions in the early annals of our own
ne etion--the spirit of man has waxed as
strong in our time as has his hand, and
has given itself to works mighty and
as influential.
MANY pretty books and homilles have
been written for us of late in advocacy
of simple life, and beneath their senti-
ment lies a noble and enlightening truth.
There Is no virtue in a plainly furnished
room; a little circle of employments a
little group of friends Is no certain means
Of grace. The simple life may be very
mean and bare and unrewarding what
is worse. 1t may be very selfish and belit-
Ting. The kernel of the moral Is simply
that our life Is greater than the things we
handle, and that our life is In us, not In
our possessions, or our social and bus
mess engagements"

Dissension is Now Removed.

st. Petersburg, June 12-Relief is felt
in military circles at the removal of dis
sension in military councils. 1t is UNDER
stood that the sole responsibility devolves
upon General Kuropatkin, and that no
serious attempt will be made to relieve
Port Arthur at present.
1t is reported that the Vladivostock
squadron now consists of three cruisers
and four ironclads. 1t is therefore pre-
sumed that part of the squadron has eff
fected a junction with some of the Port
Arthur vessels.
The newspapers report that there Is
great distress in Vladivostock arising
from the advanced prices of food, and It
is feared that the stock of petroleum and
candles is giving out.

On the other hand, America has

and large navies sap the llfe-blood
