Times this morning publishes advance ex-
tracts from the autobiography Of Herbert
Spencer, which give interesting and Curl
Gus remarks made by the philosopher.
For example he says:
"After reading six books of the 1liad I
felt that l would rather give a large
sum than read to the end" and "after
n perusal of Ruskins Stones of Venice
have lost all faith in Ruslin's judgment
doubtless he has a fine and eloquent style
but he has uttered multitudnous absurd
.les.'
Referring to Carlyle, Herbert Spencer
says that che either could not or would
not think coherently.''
The philosopher expresses admiration for
George Elliot. both physically and intel
lectually, but says the report which was
current that he was in love with and in
tended TO marry her was untrue.

all the coming night, as it has con

Sometimes it is short, sharp

that excites more interest and appre-
henson in Mukden at the present mo

need not point out why this is the
case. for in no war that ever was

object the cutting of that frail but

The attention the Russians have
bestowed on their railway since the
outbreak of the war has been such
that the Chinese might be excused for
believing that the railway locomo-

After Japan began the war some
thing like a panic seized upon the
Russians with regard to their railway,
and Cossaclls used to ride along the
line by night carrying flash lights, by
means of which they could ascertain
if the rails had been tempered with
anywhere.

proclamation calling on the Chinese
