And set the stars Of glory there

And striped its pure celestial white
With streakings OF the morning light.

And all thy hues were born in heaven.

The Same Old Game.

The closing of various schools for the

father from an adjoining State, to es-
cort home his pretty seventeen-year-old
daughter from well-known young

came with her to the school at the be-

that she was to apply herself closely
to her studies and to have no callers
whatever. '--sI
The fond father was much 1attered

Of his daughter, setting her forth as
devoted to study and a model of pro-
prlety. AS he was about to make his
adieu she casually remarked:

her books-except, of course, her BROTH

to see her undertake the experimnt.
Turning to her followers she asked:
"Have you all faith that 1 can walk

there is no use In my undertaking to
do So" she replied. IF ye have faith

Japan will refuse to accept this prof
fered aid. The Cabinet will consider
the question and formally instruct
Minister Takahira shortly. Many ap-
plications for permission to enlist in
the japanese army and navy are COM
ing from various parts of the world.
All of these applications have been po-
litely, but firmly refused. No foreign
ers will be allowed to participate in

LOSS OF TWO GREAT SHIPS.
Survivor Tells of Destruction Of the

obtained from an officer who survived
the catastrophe to the Yenesei the
full details of the explosion which de-
stroyed her and of the subsequent loss
OF the Boyarin in Dalny bay.
THE Yenesei was engaged on Feb
ruary II, in the task of laying 400
mines and had planted 1898. The three
hundred and ninety-ninth fioated in
stead of sinking. on this the Yenesei
drew of and fired at It with her light
guns. attempting to sink or explode It.
While thus occupied. the lookout man
discovered the ship had drifted close
to another mine.
"He gave the alarm and Jumped
overheard. Immediately theIe was
a terrific explosion, 1870 officers and
men, including the captain, were
killed, while 80 more were picked up
by boats and saved.
"The officer laying the mines. who
was the only man in the Russian fleet
having knowledge of exactly how the
mines were disposed was among the
killed.
"A violent storm followed. when the
mines came to the surface and floated
about in all directions. The next day
the Boyarin was sent to assist in Sc
curing them She was caught in the
storm. however, and driven ashore on
the rocks, where she became total
wreck.
THE loss of Russian feet up to date

quite untrue. Trains are running all

II. G.. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade" this week will say: Incle-
ment weather alone prevents definite
revival of business. Outdoor work Is
retarded and traffic impeded to an ex-
tent that cannot be accurately meas
ured but is obviously sufficient to
neutralize the favorable effect OF many
encouraging factors, while winter
wheat Is threatened, although not yet
definitely injured. and early farm pre-
parations must be postponed. Sever
al leading branches of manufacture are
increasing active capacity and thou.
sands of interior buyers are placing
liberal orders at the principal cities.
The usual temporary advantages of
war are felt In the markets for staple
commodities, notably foodstuffs. but
while this helps the domestic producer,
1t harms a much larger number by en-
hanclng prices to home consumers.
There Is little friction between en-
ployer and wage earners, except re-
garding the bituminous scale, but the
cause of Industrial peace has lost its
foremost champion. Despite Interrupt
tlon by storms, railway earnings thus
far reported for February were only 4
per cent smaller than a year ago, when
there was also much severe weather.
Foreign trade returns for the last
week at this port show an increase of
S1,l52,O12 In value of exports. as com.
pared with last year, but imports were
slightly smaller. Financial conditions
are satisfactory, money remaining easy
and foreign exchange undisturbed by
complications abroad.
While II appears that the output OF
pig iron has increased more rapidly

cumulation ,of stocks for the month
yet the mere fact that the leading in.

confidence in the future. When spring
