Health Rules.

One Of Queen Victoria's health rules
is said to have been, "Do whatever you
like, but do it in moderation" or words
to that effect, and similar rule might
be adopted with still greater profit by
the men and women Of the present day.
The people Of Queen Victoria's genera
ton had not made fad of health, and
every newspaper they picked up did
not worry them with conflicting n.y.
gienic rules. The no breakfast fiend,
If he existed, was less prominent than
at present, and those who thought that
the first ought to be the best meal of
the day did not publish their views
from every roof top, figuratively speak
ing. Vegetarians and meat eaters wran-
gled only in inconspicuous corners, and
the devotees of the cold bath were con-
tent with fewer victims. Today, when
all these and million other so called
health rules are being dinned into the
ears Of long suffering public on all
sides, 1t is more than ever important
to bear in mind that inclinations and
aisinclnations were not arbitrarily i'm
planted by nature In animal organisms;
that they exist for our guidance and
not solely to mislead us. - New York
Tribune.

A Man md a Hntpin.

In a theater recently man down In
one of the front rows spied on the floor
a large hatpin with an amber top.
Looking about him, he saw that two
women and their escorts had just sat
down. TO one of the former he present
ed the pin. A shake of the head indi-
Gated that he had made a mistake.
Then he tried across the aisle. The wo-
men seemed to be interested. The pin
was curiosity and its amber Of a
unique carving. They hesitated, but
the pin was handed back. Desperately
he began the search now. Two ladies
unattended seemed likely owners. To
them he showed the pin. They took 1t
and enjoyed its pattern. Just then the
man felt tug on his sleeve. 1t was his
wife. and she remarked, "Why are you
showing my hatpin tostrangers" He
blushed, went over to the feminine pair
and explained. ITS my wife's hatpiny'
he said, but in such consciously guilty
accents that the women handed 1t back
with doubling smiles.

Reports Denied That Port Arthur
Is Being Abandoned.

General kuropatkin fastening to Take
Command of Manchurian Troops
Alleged Japanese Are Using Pol
soned Swords.

st. Petersburg, March 16.-From
the highest official quarter, the Asso-
ciated Press has received information
that there is absolutely no foundation
for the rumors persistently sent out
from Toxic that the Russians are
abandoning Port Arthur
1T is the veriest nonsense" said the
official informant of the Associated
Press. Nothing has occurred there
to warrant such reports. The motive
Of the government at Toxic in spread
ing this story is probably to influence
public feeling in japan for the pur-
pose of creating enthusiasm while a
war loan is being floated."
The newspapers here manifest the
greatest indignation over the report.
General Kuropatkin expects to reach
likely to enter at once upon his dut-
les as commander-in-chief of the Man.
churian army. 1t is understood that
Viceroy Alexieff will turn over the en-
tire direction Of the land operations
to General Kuropatkin.
On account of the difficulty of hous-
ing the vast number of troops poured
into Mukden Ia, 900 have been sent for
ward within the last few days towards
the Yalu river as reinforcements for
the 1000 troops already at Kasan and
Anju,and the stream of soldiers from
European Russia is now being held
at Hardin.
Prince Louis Napoleon will relln-
cuish his command Of the cavalry d.
vision of the Caucasus and then pro-
coed to the far east, where he will
take supreme command of the cavalry
under General Kuropatldn.
The statement by General Zilinsby
that the Russians found poisoned
swords left by the fleeing Japanese
has aroused much comment. Similar
swords were used by the Chinese dur
ing the boxer rebellion, and especially
in Manchuria, and the slightest wound
inflicted by them prove fatal.
The use of such weapons is prohib-
it,d by the Geneva and Hague conven-
tons

Gratitude of n Dog.

Olive Thorne Miller tells of dog
which belonged to q colonial family
and was particularly noted for his an,
tipathy to Indians, whom he delighted
to track. On one campaign agains'
the French this dog insisted on accom-
panying his master, although his fee
were in a terrible condition from hav
ing been frozen during the previous
winter. During the fight which ended
in the famous Braddocks defeat h,
became separated from his master, and
the latter, supposing him killed, wen
home without him. Some weeks later
however, the dog appeared in his ole
home, which was many miles from tn,
battlefield. He was tired and worn
but over his sore feet soft moccasins
were fastened. showing that he hac
been among Indians and that they hat
taken especial pains to be kind to him
Thereafter. though he showed greal
joy at being again among his own PEG
pie, neither threats nor brides coult
ever induce him to track an Indian.

New York, March 15.-Gfeat excite

prompt action Of the house manager,
who rushed out on the stage and as
sured the audience that no harm had
been done prevented 1t.
During the third act of the play
the manager, while passing one of tho
boxes heard man within exclalm,
There he is, I'm going to get e.

of the box. Edward Cain, the treasur-
er of the house, attempted to stop
them but was knocked down, and one
of the men fired at him but missed
