MOT IloHN YEI.

Port Arthur hasn't fallen, and the in dications that it will fall soon are not more indicative than they were. Gen eral stoessel. the brave defender of the place. hasn't fallen. and he doesn't show any signs of falling. He knows how to telegraph to the Czar. Here is specimen: We greet the Emperor. This day, solemn one for all our country, we offer prayers to God and send to our Emperor felicitations in the shape of reverberating hurrahs. On pended knees we pray to God to give health to your majesty and their maj esties the Expresses and the Grand Duke Czareyitch. Our Joy is all the greater because all the assaults. which lasted nine days, have been repulsed up to this great day the anniversary of your accession to the throne, the same day that our Japanese enemies celebrate the anniversary of the birth Of their Mikado. and whereupon they had sworn to take the fortress. God IS with us.
 That is pretty good talk for a man in the position General stoessel is in. If he ever does come out alive he will be popular and he ought to be, as things go. It is interesting to notice that the Russians seem to believe that God is on their side. The Japanese seem to think He is on their side too. It's a queer world, my masters.

Beri-beri, a disease peculiar to. rice eating people, was the enemy of the Mikado's army in the war with China, causing the death of nearly forty five per cent. of the land forces. It is now doing great mischief in the ranks of Oyama's armies and is more dreaded than the bullets of the Russians Beri- beri is a disease that is the result of on-elimination Uric acid accumulates in the blood and the first symptoms are distinctly rheumatic. These are followed by complete paralysis of the extremities. There is lack of sensation and the power of locomotion, and this paralysis continues toward the vital centers until it reaches the heart and the story is ended.

The new wrinkle combined with an acquired English accent was too much for me. On inquiry I learned that it was court English The kings accent has been adopted as the style by all those about him, and has been taken up even by the Americans who. being in London, think they should do what the London CTS do.''
