st. Petersburg, May 2s.-The news
Econtained in the dispatch to the en-
[peror ,froms General Kouropatkin, is
rafff that is atnclally given out. While
EShs dispatchwas brief and bald, it is
considered extremely significant.
The. -faatv that the Japanese COM
f.menced to advance along the main
Liaoyang road Immediately they had
forced the neck of the Liaotung PENN
sula and cutoff Major General Fock
from any cooperation with the Rus
slams in the north shows thorough
understanding, between the Japanese
commanders.
The authorities here believe the adj
vance from Fengwancheng has only
been suspended pending the elimina-
ton of Fock's force and they expect
that the advance upon Liaoyang will
now. be pushed in earnest. 1t is evil
dent that the continual shifting of and
skirmishing by the advanced posts of
the Japanese around Fengwancheng
have been merely successful in mask
ing the realY force, consisting of the
from Takushan.' 1t is expected that
this force will be hurled upon Lao
yang while -.stte southern Japanese
force is busy before Port Arthur.
The fact that there is almost a COM
plete suspension of press messages
from Russian correspondents at the
front is taken to indicate that import
ant movements are pending.

st. Petersburg, May 29.-Tne en-
peror has received the following dis
patch from General Kuropatkin:
':On May rs. "a Japanese force, con-
sisting of battalion Of infantry and a

main road to Laoyang, but was soon
compelled to retire toward Tkhowin-
enze.
"a second Japanese detachment, con-
sisting of a battalion of infantry, at
the village of Dapu, in the Al valley,
fired heavily on our Cossacks from 10
in the morning until in the after,
noon, but the Japanese infantry failed
in an attempt to turn the Cossacks'
right flank and intercept their re-
treat"

Though the fishing and catching is full

You have never tried it? Then you have

was so clear that one could see through

Such an aquarium! Amid tangled for.

Grafton of shape and color! What end

stellations of starfish; opal tinted jelly
fish, trimmed and fringed with tentacles
like beaded dewdrops; sea-cucumbers
more delicately constructed than
strands Of woven glass; sea-urchins.

3 merry mermaid would not care to flirt;
abalone and octopi clinging to the emer-
aid surface of rocks that no human hand
has ever touched and gold perch and an

an electric spark, and then were lost in
ocean caves. The. light was semi-phos-
phorescent and the feelings awakened
those OF wonder, awe and an admiration
impossible to convey to another.

Many Laundresses Said to Pawn Gus
toner's Clothes systematically
In Raising Money.

a New York pawnbroker recently told
me OF scheme resorted to by many
washer-women which may be Of interest
to those housewives who have noticed
that their finer garments and household
linens are slow in getting home from
the wash. He says that these washer
women make a regular practice of rais-
ing money on their patrons better
classes Of linen.
For instance" said he, indicating
large package neatly done up, chat con-
tains some very fine garments and lot
OF household linen. The whole is worth
perhaps $40. At any rate, lent $40 on
1t. You see, the washerwomah takes the
things home with her, washes them at
once, and instead OF returning them to
their owner. brings them here and gets
money. which she can use for at least
a week, and sometimes much longer.
By the time she has to take these out for
delivery she has another lot which she
can bring here In Its place. Thus she
keeps the money indefinitely. A wash
erwoman With large number of such
patrons can keep 5000 or $500 in the air
all the time and still get the goods back
in time to satisfy those people who have
sufficiently large reserve stock on
hand"

memorial which is being raised at
Rrixham (Devonshire) in memory OF
the Rev. Henry Francis Lyle, who, 60
years ago, wrote that we'll known
hymn "Abide With Me-"
The narrative is related in connec-

$4,000 is still required.

ECONOMY IN SHIP SPACE.
Vessel Builder Can Teach Useful
Lesson to Architects in the
Big Cities.

One of the first lessons designer OF
ships learns is to economic every inch
of space possible on board the craft
they propose building, says the Chica-
go Chronicle This fact is known to
some architects, but not to all.
at is a wonder some of your Ameri-
can builders don't borrow ideas in
economizing space from shipwrights.
said an English architect recently.
1--WE are beginning to put up small
apartments in London and some of the
big midland cities now. So far British
builders have not been SO badly
cramped for room as the builders OF
some apartments have seen in the
United States, but we may come to 1t.
The strict economy of space In even
the best cabins of the modern Atlantic
liners is revelation to an architect
who has never made a study of 1t.
Fixed sofas in odd corners that can be
made into comfortable berth in
jiffy; washstands that fold up and dis
appear without any fuss or mess;
racks for slowing away small things
that always seem to be in the way In
flat, and doors that seem to disap-
pear when they open, are just as essen
tial in small apartment as they are
aboard ship"

some We're from distant countries.
There were about twenty of them, a
mean and disreputable looking lot.
II am going to Astrakhan," he said
to himself, "eyen If I take possession
of the old tub against the law. The
Russian government would not object.
There isn't real Russian on board"

Hassan.

Harvey. "Now, look here, Hassan, my
friend. It's no use. must get to As
trakhan because I've got lot of valu-
able stun there that I must oyertake.
No use growing; you've got to 60 to
Astrakhan or put me on board of boat
that is going there"
"And will you pay me for that?"
"Of course"
Hassan looked at his men. then at
Harvey. Certainly this dog Of an I'M
believer looked as II he could pay well.
It would do no harm to let him remain
on board. After disposing of his con-
cealed passenger he had no objections
to making little more ready money.
Out upon the Caspian shot the vessel,
and Harvey watched the lazy methods
Of the sailors. Five good men could
have handled the boat in a storm. 1t
took ali twenty of them to do it i'll
calm water.
Hassan thought to earn the money
by placing Harvey ON another boat.
He stood in the bow and scanned the
horizon. But all that day he saw none
and began to get uneasy.
ut seems he expects boat to over
take him." thought Harvey.
Hassan had been looking ahead for
a boat Now he cast his eyes astern.
He was looking for the Russian gun

The crew were evidently as excited
as Hassan and watched with anxious
eyes the gunboat.

''This is the boat of our heavenly

answer.

WHAT OUR DOCTORS COST.
One Hundred and Fifty Million DOL
lars Paid Yearly for Advice
and Medicines. D

There are about 200, 900 doctors In the
United States, or about one for every $50
people, says Leslie's Monthly. It has
been approximately estimated that the
average yearly income of these men Is
$3.50, or that the public in the country
pays $15O,000,000 annually for medical
attendance, emitting entirely the money
spent for patent medicines, which brings
millions Of dollars to manufacturers, or
the amounts spent for doctors prescrip-
tions or paid to quacks and commercial
doctors.
The preparation for the practice Of
medicine that gives man good stand-
ing in the profession, means an expense
of, literally speaking, $4,000 for four
years in reputable medical school,
$1,000 for general expenses during two
years hospital service, and perhaps an
other $1,000 for setting up in practice. A
year or twoin Europe is also help.
