of judicial dignity. He was
ever courteous and considerable,
and never tried to win cheap ap-

He had curious habit, on the
bench, of leaning back in his chair
and closing his eyes, and this some
times led the unwary to conclude
that he was asleep.
On one occasion, during the trial of
a prisoner for setting fire to a dwell

was much upset through his igno-

RAINY DAYS.

The swiriing and incessant rain,
The pearled and dripping window-pane,
The clouds SO dense that one may know
For hours and hours it shall be so.
Click, click upon the shining street
TO scurrying horses nimble feet,
a lone pedestrian slantwise bent
Against the drenehing element.
No bird or fowl in tree or sky,
Torn leaves in tumult drifting by,
And rolling with muff1ed swell
A slowly tOlling funeral bell.
Where now the throngs on pleasure bent,
The eager step. the pressed intent?
They must await the sunlight ray;
Storm has no path for such they.
And fancy now her wand may wave:
see the rivulet round the grave
And with the twilight comes the view
Night closing in on Waterloo.

however. is its position at the junction

Lhassa with Shigatse, the capital of the
province of Tsang. This road, which
Sarat Chandra Dass describes as sim;-
lar to. an, ordinary Indian unmetalled
road, is the main highway of Thibet,
and in the event of the present expedi-
tons, pushing on to Lhassa, it will
form the line of advance, as the
Bhutan road has done since the mis-
sion left Phari. Its situation at this
meeting of the ways has made Gyang-
tse the depot for Thibetan trade with
Bhutan, and 1t is possible that in tha
near future 1t may become the. mari
for a vastly greater trade with India.

The reason, according to your inform

Lord Lansdowne, the British foreign
minister, that the japanese. previous
to the attacks on Chemulpo and Port
Arthur, had intercepted cables be.
tween Port Arthur and Vladivostok,
showing that the
Russians Were Prepared
to attack Sasebo with the Port Arthur
fleet on Feb. 10, without a preliminary
declaration Of war.
The cables also disclosed the fact
that a farewell dinner had been ar.
ranged for the officers engaged in the
proposed attack for Feb. 8.
Accordingly, when Count Bencken.
dorff, the Russian ambassador to Eng.
land, called on Lord Lansdowne to
protest against the Japanese attacks
Lansdowne advised him not to press
his objections, as he had information
that Russia had intended to attack In
a similar manner, but merely had been
forestalled by the Japanese.
