Roast Goose.

: The cooking school directions for pre- pairing goose for roasting are rather apt to excite some amusement in the breasts Of old-fashioned housekeepers, nevertheless. the newer method is cer- tanly an improved one, as it removes much of the superfiuous fat, and, in so doing. improves the flavor of this sa- vory bird. Tho directions are as fol- lows: Select a young goose, singeit, and scrub it well in soap and water, rinse very thoroughly in clear, cold water, and dry inside and out with a cloth. To make the stuf1ng, cook one-haf table spoonful of finely chopped onion with three tablespeonfuIs of butter for five minutes. Add one-auarter pound of sausage meat, stripped of it's skin, F finely chopped mushrooms and one cup ful of mashed chestnuts Heat the mix ture and add one ounce of fresh bread crumbs, two dozen whole chestnuts (which have been boiled and slSinned) salt and pepper to taste, lump of but ter and one-half teaspoonful of minced parsley. Cool the stufing partially be- fore using it. Baste the goose often while it is cooking, and roast about two hours, or until well done, and richly Drowned. Serve on bed Of parsley.--- Good Literature.

Discipline in the Russian army

Discipline in the Russian army is confined to the essentials very strictly. and does not concern itself about things not inm ediately connected with the movements Of troops and their con- duct in action, according to o. K. Davis in Everybody's. They will fight mag nifieently. but for the rest they are q lawless. unkerapt, slouchy, dirty lot, whose clothes seem perpetually un. washed, and whose hands are in ev- erything that is not their own. There were a dozen different breeds of light ing men in the Pekin relief column, and among all of them. saw instances of unprovoked cruelty and saTagery. With the others such cases were sporadic, but among the Russians dis cipline does not seem to undertake provide against that sort of thing. neyer saw an officer make any attempt to stop Russian soldier from such work, but saw one spank a man fol letting horse tall down.

Among all of Uncbe San's projects there Is no department which is, pro poTtipnately. as great 8 source of in come as the patent office. says Col Heras, and yet, at the same time, no branch of the government owes it's origin to a more bansfcent purpose. In the earliest days of the colonies the now provarbial Yankee proelivity for invention was recognized as possibly important factor in the inaproT Tenaent of conditions in the new world, and when the colonists had secured the right to enact laws for their own governnaen this question was one of the first to be considered. President Washington, in his first address to congress, 1T9o, called attention to the matter and urged the expedieney of giving effectual en- courag cement to the exertions of skill and genius in the production of new and useful inventions, aud from this suggestion came the present American patent system. which, as one writer on international law. has said, lis gener, ally recognized by the most profound students of our institutions. both at home and abroad, to have contributed more than any other one thing to the presenafnenee of this country in the in dustrial arts and in manufactures. It Is only within the archives of the pa tent office that one is able to obtain anything like 9 correct idea of the wide range of the inventive Ingenuity of the American people for up to the present time nearly 100000 patents have been Issued, while the receipts of the depart ment are so much greater than it's ex. penditures that the balance in the treasury on account of the patent funt now exceeds i've million dollars.

serves. The Japanese artillery which attacked
the Russian left reached wangerh-Tun at
p. m and poured fire into the rear Of the Rus
slams at Shou-Shan-Pao.
The operations of the day did not succeed IN
developing the Russian strength In all direc-
tions. BY the constant arrival Of reinforcement
it was seen that the guns at Shou-Shan-Pao
alone finally numbered one hundred. The Rus
sian positions at all points were strongly forti-
fed. and the auxiliary defences blocked infantry
attacks.
On the night OF August 80 the Russians at
Shou- -Shan-Pao attacked the Japanese left and
repulsed that portion OF the left which occupied
shao-Yan-Zui. They also made a night attack
uron the ridge south of shou-shan-Pao.
BOTH ARMIES RENEW ATTACK
On the morning Of August 81 both armies re-
newed their attack with vigor. Up to late in
the afternoon neither contestant had gained any
visible result. The Japanese were holding Teng-
Chia-Fang and were fighting bravely against
superior forces. A portion of the japanese right
succeeded in capturing eninence west Of
Hsing- -Ling-Tun at noon of the 31st.
Reports received here from Liao-Yang do not
mention the casualties. which IT is presumed are
heavy on account OF the enormous forces en-
gagged and the nature of the attack the japanese
are making against strongly defended positions.
the second Russian line proving stronger than
that at An-Shan-Chan. which they abandoned.
The battle may last several days.
