ON THE ART OF KEEPING YOUNG.

There's no trouble at all about keep ing young if you know what to do. Sarah Bernhardt says she has kept her youth by the aid of hot water and soap
 When I am tired take a hot bath,' she says. When I am nervous I, take hot bath and massage When am depressed nothing exhilarates and puts me in form so soon as a hot bath.
 Every night when I am playing, as well as when l am at leisure. I take a hot scrub before going to bed. Yes, l scrub my face with soap and hot wa ter twice, and sometimes three times in the twentyfour hours.
 "There is no beautifier like soap and water, and no preservatiye against illness, nerves and age that compares with hot water"
 Clara Barton keeps young by not puttering.
 q don't butter" she says, that's what ages women-puttering.
 When I am not working I either rest or play. When I see a woman breaking down with nervous prostra- ton. wonder when women will learn to stop puttering.
 Sleep is great thing for women. Half the women don't sleep enough. I've cultivated the accomplishment of mapping. l shut my eyes and go to sleep whenever there's lull in my work.
 "It isn't the work that wears wo. men outfits the fretting and putter- ing. Here's the way to keep young: Stop worrying and go to work :"
 Tndulging in fit of ugly temper but makes her old and ugly before her time" says Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, the apostle Of Gress reform Control your temper. for every time you allow 1t to control you, you spoil your good looks and injure yourself physically.

Washington, June 21.-The Japanese legation has received the following ca blegram from Tokio:
 Gen. Oku reports that the Russian eorpses which were buried by us near Telissu. after the evening of the 17th. amounted to 1,516. Corpses are still being discovered, and it is believed that the number will be considerably increased. The natives say that dur ing the engagement the Russians car ried back by railway large number of their killed and wounded, while later. when about taking flight, they burned or buried many corpses near Hua Hung Raw The number of rifles, guns and men captured, besides those already reported, is increasing, but the total is not yet known.

Over $6sOOO,0O0 in gold was coined at the United
States Mnts during the month of March. This is
nearly as much as the coming value of all the silver
that has been mined in this country in any single
year since $780, and ii is far in excess Of the coming
value of this countrys silver output twenty years
ago More significant still it is equal to double the
value of the gold mined in the United States in any
single year of the decade ended with 1892 and it is
equal to so per cent of the gold that we produced
even so late as 1902. II is no wonder that former

JAPAN's FINANCIAL soLIDITY.

The ease with which Japan has recently foated a
followed the developments of the financial policy of
the japanese Government In order to place jap
anese currency on solid basis several expedients
have been attempted One device originally adopt
ed by the japanese government was to pay out
gold to promote industries whose products were to be
exported and thus attract metallic money to Japan
One of the financial journals reviewing the develop
ments of japanese finance says that later more SEN
sible plan was employed, namely, "that Of buying
produce and manufacturing goods with paper money,
exporting and selling these for gold, and storing the
latter in the treasury So successful was this measure
that it was possible to resume specie payments in
1885. The ultimate adoption of the gold standard
was facilitated by the payment Of the Chinese idem-
nifty in 1895. As in the eastern portion Of our own
country, gold is seldom seen, says the Ledger, as
paper money is generally used in its place Until
Japan did adopt the gold standard she could not hope
to borrow large sums abroad. Perhaps she was
not over anxious to be saddled with a council Of
foreign bondholders, like her sister, Egypt. Japan
as a government is much more solvent and her re-
sources are much more elastic than foreigners have
been inclined to believe. The latter have found il
difficult to understand how, with such slender re
sources she could keep up SO large an army as she
does But they forget that the cost Of maintenance

NEW BATTLESHIPs.

The Virginia, which was launched last week at
Newport News, possesses peculiar interest for those
who are watching the development of the American
navy. She is the first of five battleshps constituting
new class and making distinct advance upon all
predecessors.
One of her most admirable characteristics is the
speed she is expected to make. She and her four
sister ships are designed to make ninteen knots How
exceptional this is for battleship belonging to the
United States will be appreciated when it is remem-
bered that the Illinois good for only seventeen and
half knots, and the Missouri for eighteen. These
are not only the latest acceSsons to the navy but the
fastest battleships this country has, Another group
Of five vessels, displacing $1,000 tonsor 1000 more
than the Virginia class-is now under construction,
but they are all designed to make only eighteen knots
Still third class about which there has been much
talk, but which not yet under contract, are IN
tended to have displacement of only $4,000 tons,
but revert to seventeen or seventeen and half knots
Foreign powers are giving SO much attention to
speed in new battleships that America suffers by
comparison.
Another important gain by the class to which the
Virginia belongs is the size of the battery. The Ill
inois has, besides her four 13nch guns, only IA g.
inch rifles in her primary battery. The Virginia
will have Pinch guns in her turrets, but in addition
she will carry eight 8-inch guns and twelve 6-incf
rifles Her equipment is distinctly more powerful
than that of any other American vessel. For fight
ing-and that is the main object for which these
ships are built-she will be distinct advance upon
the Illinois and the Missouri.
In the vessels of the Virginia class feature has
been introduced which was first tried in the Ken
lucky and the Kearsarge She has two-story turrets
One pair Of the 8-nch guns of the ships will bC
mounted directly above her 12inch guns at each enc
of the vessel This idea is exclusively American
and has provoked much discussion. There was mucf
opposition to further trial of the system when thC
15,000-ton ships were designated. The friends o.
the double turret won but the latter must still be re
garder as an experiment. In the gun practice botf
the Kearsarge and the Kentucky behaved fairly well
but the wisdom of the new policy has not yet beer
fully determined New light will be afforded per
