All day long on the highway The kings fleet eouriers ride; You. may hear the tread of their
 horses soed j Over the country side.
 They ride for life and they ride for
 ,s death !
 And they override who tarryeth. With show of color and flush of pride They stir the dust on the highway. Let them ride on the highway wide, Love walks in little paths aside. All day long on the highway Is the tramp of an arnly's feet; ' You may see them go in a marshaled row @ With the tale of their arms complete; They march for war and they march
 for peace, K For the lust of gold and flames in- ~#. crease, For victories sadder than defeat They raise the dust on the highway. All the armies of earth defied, .. Love dwells in little paths aside. All day long on the highway Rushes an eager band, <.
 With straining eyes for worthless

 And men leave blood where their feet have stood And bow them down unto brass and Idols fashioned by their own hand- Blind in the dust of the highway Power and gold and fame denied. Love laughs glad in the paths aside.

Of making worlds fairs there is no end. It will not be long before there will be mild excitement over the Inter national Exposition to be heldin Milan
 Italy, in 1906, on the occasion of the
 completion and inauguration of the Simplon tunneI-the longest in the
 world-as a medium os railroad traffic between Switzerland and Italy. The municipality of Milan has contributed
 100000 lire five lire about equal one American doIIar); the Savings Bank Of Milan S0O,0O0 lire, the Milan Chamber of Commerce 100000 lire, the provincial administration of Lombardy. of which
 Milan is the capital seat, 100000 lire, and a bill is now before the Chamber of Deputies at Rome to provide an ap- propriation of 50O,OGO lire. and lottery concession of s,OOO0OO lire; while as surances of financial support are being
 daily received by the commission of the Exposition f,om various centers
 throughout the kingdom Of Savoy. The site Of the exposition, from which q
 splendid view of the distant Itslian
 Alps is to be had, fronts upon the great square formed by the intersection of the Corsa sempione, the Via Canova, the 1 Via Melzi, and other noted thorough
 fares of the city at the simplon Arch of Triumph, erected to commemorate the war of 1859 between France and Pied mont upon one side and Austria upon the other. The grounds are distant by a twenty minutes electric tramway ride from Milan Cathedral and La Scala. If the space allotted should prove insuffi- cient, the ministry of war will place at the disposal of the exposition authori- ties the entire Piazza d'Arnii, which is situated at one end of the present site.
 Good luck to this show Better luck than most worlds fairs have had in a financial way. They are all educating.

TIE oUEER KAR.

Perhaps it is just the time for sym 'pathizers with Japan in this country not to get impatient. Perhaps they have expected too much. The Japan ese warriors have done much both on Hand and on sea. They have destroyed the usefulness of the Russian navy. They have shut the Russians up in Port Arthur, and the only reason Port Ar thur hasn't fallen Is because there has been unavoidable delay in it's falling. They have pushed the Russian army under Kuropatkin back, and back. and back, until one who has read the daily reports might wonder why the Russians didn't fall off the edge. Now the talk is that Kuropatkin's troops are being
 pressed closely" and that great bat tie is more imminent than the other great battles which have been imminent have been.
 It is a queer war. The news from 1t
 isn't very full or definite. Just now it looks as if the Russians would not be able to fall back much more without falling over, but they have shown
 themselves skillful in falling back, and perhaps there is yet more falling back in them. But some big and definite news is earnestly desired by those who
 believe that the Japanese have figured out the minute and even the second
 when they will push the falling-back
 Russians over the cliff.

rRoMIsIAG YORK,

The gypsy moth is apparently too much for Massachusetts. but the good old State is dealing wisely and success fully with some old problems that other States don't tackle right. For instance, she has established a convict camp in the hill country near Rutland. It is q different matter from the convict camps of the South, however, and the occupants are not farmed out to con- tractors for profit, as is the case in Florida and some other States. The new enterprise is undertaken by the State and is intended to exercise reforma- tory function. It is accessory to a farm. No experienced and hardened sinners are taken to the place; on the contrary, the idea is to establish it as camp for minor offenders, especially the intemperate who are not lost to the appeals of their better selves and who have sinned through weakness rather than intention. It is said that the substitution of air, sun, wholesome food and measure of freedom from the usual gloom, foulness, idIeness and lack of care which characterize jails and their keeping has already shown benef-. icent results, not merely in the physique |of the prisoners, but upon their moral nature. The well fed, we'll slept, well employed man is less previous to temp tation than is the weak, hungry, url- easy subject. Moreover, the farm work opens way to employment which will be q gain 10 not a few of the prisoners, inasrnuch as in the short absence from their haunts they have not time to learn trade. but there is time to learn something of farm routine. and to ac- quire a liking for the care of live stock and the cultivation of the soil. ;
 This is promising work. Everybody who is interested in his fellow beings will be glad to hear of it's continued and growing success.

BENEVOLENT 1ND BENEFIcENT The United States government is be- lnevolent and beneficent, as the Cubans, 1 the Porto Ricanss and the FiHpinos have reason to know. It does much for Limited States folks too, as the pension Iers can testify. It is good to the Indi- ans. It is about to do some irrigation
 work which will illustrate its quality.
 It is making a reservoir near Keaton
 which will hold 11,6oO, ,000.000 cubic feet lof water and is intended to confine the waters of the Cimarron river almost at its very head. Kenton is the last town Fin Oklahoma just before crossing into New Mexico and Colorado. It is in the foothills of the Rockies, where the Cfm- arron and Corrizo rivers have their source. They join in the Cimarron river, which flows for over thirty miles through the entire length of this terri | tory. In thus confining the water in this mammoth reservoir the govern rnent plans an irrigation project which will cultivate the counties of Beaver, Woodward and Woods. Beaver espe- eialIy belongs to the cattlenen at pres-
 ent because of the long drouth periods annually in that county, which is one I hundred and fifty miles long by fifty miles wide. Through irrigation it is hoped that this large area will be cons Iverted into rich farming land to be
 hornesteaded under the government flaws. This reservoir when completed will be six miles long by two miles and
 la half wide, holding 86,679, ,60o,000 gal
 Ions, and with an average depth of fifty
 feet. Above the reservoir it is estimat- led that the river in flood times will flow one thousand gallons of water per jsecond, or that running six feet deep
 the Cimarron will fill the reservoir in 134 days.
 ! If the man who makes one blade of
 grass grow where none grew before is a
 benefaetor, as he certainly is, what should be said of a government which is going to make grass and many other
 things grow in three big counties?

NICHOLAS I OF RUSSIA.

"Great Man Scared Out of Greatness
 by specters of French Revolution.
 In reviewing this first of my sojourns
 in Russia my thoughts naturally dwell
 upon the two sovereigns- Nicholas I and Alexander II. The first of these
 was a great man scared out of great
 ness by the ever-recurring specter of
 the French Revolution. There had
 been much to make .t1im stern

 grandfather, had both been murdered

 forced him to wade through slaughter to a throne5 revolt which had de-
 luged the great parade ground of St.
 Petersburg with the blood of his best
 soldiers, which had sent many of the nobility to Siberia, and which had ob- liged him to see the bodies of several
 men who might have made his reign lllustrious dangling from the fort
 ress walls opposite the winter palace. He had been obliged to grappie with a
 fearful insurrection in Poland, caused partly by the brutality of his satraps,
 but mainly by religious hatreds, to stlp-
 press It with enormous carnage, and to substitute cruel despotism for the moderate constitutional liberty which his brother had granted. He had thus become the fanatical apostle of reaction throughout Europe, and as such was everywher the irnplacabie enemy of any
 evolution Of liberty. The despots of Europe adored him.
 As symbols of his ideals he had given to King of Prussia and to the NeapoIi- tan Bourbon copies of two Of the statues which adorned his Nevsky Bridges statues representing restive horses restrained by strong men. and the Berlin poailace, with sinerring in stinct, had given to one Of these the

There has been much complaint of the hardness of the water of London. and various schemes have been proposed lately for improvement, one proposition being to soften it chemically. Support CTS of this plan point to the enormous saving in soap which has been effected in Glasgow. where change has made a difference amounting to thousands of pounds year, and soft water is also much more economical for steam eIl- zines. But critics Of the scheme esti- mate that the cost would be something like s1 ,5oO,OoO a year, and that it would be cheaper to get 8 first rate water sup ply from Wales. .s

The decline and fall in the circulation of what was once an almost universal coira-the Mexican silver dollar-is de- scribed in a recent issue of the Har- yard Quarterly Journal of Economics by Professor A. Platt Andrew. The causes of the worldwide circulation of this coin lie in the fact that for many gener- ations Mexico was the greatest silver producer os the world. From the dis covery Of this continent down to 1850, 80 per cent. of the worlds supply of the white metal came from the mines ot Mexico and Spanish America. This coin had also the good fortune to escape de- basement almost entirely. Between 14aT and our own days it's metallic con- tents declined less than per cent.-an almost unique fact in monetary history. The approaching extinction of this dol- lar as a medium of international use has been due to the enlarged output of silver, and it's demonetization in the g0id-usfng world. Tn Japan the Mex ican dollar has been driven out. In Philippines the new American silver peso (redeemable in gold, and therefore non exportablel is rapidly supplanting the Mexican dollar. The situation is very similar in Porto Rico. a.A

 of the vessel; an egg from three to five days old shows an elevation of the flat end. 50 that it's long axis forms an angle of twenty degrees, With an egg eight days old, the angle increases to forty-fve degrees; with an egg fourteen days old, to sixty degrees, and with one three weeks old. to seyenty-five degrees, while an egg month old floats verti- cally upon the pointed end.

Suffered Defeat Bitter Two Days of
Fighting.
Shanghai, April 3O-It is reported
here that the Russians have suffered a
disastrous repulse after two days fight
ing on the Yalu river. The japanese
force crossed the river and the Rus
slams retreated.
Chefoo, April 3O.-News has reach
ed here from authentic sources of sig.
nlficant movements on the Yalu, fore
shadowing decisive events. The Jap
anese seem resolved to undertake Wig
orous offensive movement against the
Russian forces holding the northern
bank of the river.
The Japanese have occupied Chiu
Lien Cheng, on the right bank above
Antung. The crossing commenced on
the Goth. POntOons were tOwed across
the river by torpedo boats and placed
in position under cover of their fire.
1t could not have been an easy matter,
the river being three miles wide and
impaired by blocks of ice and frozen
snow The Russian resistance was
desperate, but brief. Their artillery
did little damage and destroyed only
one torpedo boat. The Japanese in
fantry, numbering 1000 or 5000,
crossing with only triiflng loss. On
the same day demonstration was
made at the mouth of the Yalu. Jap
anese admiral Hosoya, commanding
the third squadron, assembled the es-
tuary with some gunboats and came
under the fire of the field battery post
ed nearly opposite Yongampho, to
which the gunboats responded.
The following day body of Co.'S
sacks, about 100 strong, attacked a
launch that had ventured too near
shore, but were repulsed and fled into
the mountains.
