Nuraery Hint from Far East.

The native women of the Himalaya mountains have singular way of put ting their children to sleep in the middle of the day. The child is put near a stream of water, and by means of a palm leaf or tin scoop the water is def1ected so as to run gently over the back of the ehild's head. The water pouring over the child's head apparently sends it to sleep and keeps it so, while the mother proceeds with her work in the fields.

EDNA FAILS TO
BREAK THE WILL
Victoria Court Decides Against
Mrs. Hopper in Duns-
muir Suit.

VICTORIA, B. c., Feb. 6.-By a de-
cision handed down here today Edna
Wallace Hopper is defeated in her eff
forts to break the will of her step
father, Alexander Dunsmuir, and to Sc
cure a portion Of the Dunsmuir mil
lions.
The action was brought against
James Dunsmuir, executor and legatee
of Alexander Dunsmuir, to set aside
the will of the latter on the usual
grounds of undue influence, incapacity
and insanity and to set aside a deed
made between Josephine Dunsmuir, the
actress mother, whereby Mrs. Duns-
muir was to waive all interest in the
Dunsmuir property for an annuity of
$4,000 The decision says:
with regard to the plaintiffs right
to attack the will of the testator, fail
to see any right, legal or equitable,
which enabled the plaintiff to take such
a step. If the executor died intestate
the widow would be entitled to do so,
but the plaintiff is no blood relation,
and the tables Of consanguinity do not
recognize a step-daughter or anyone
not of the blood of the testator."
Judgment with costs was entered
against the plaintiff and Mrs. Duns-
muir, the mother of the testator, and
the defendant, who joined issue with
Edna Wallace Hopper in the effort to
break the will.

The James J. Hill special train of

NEW LONDON, Conn, Feb. 6.-The
Dakota, the second steel leviathan for
the Great Northern Steamship COM
pany's Oriental line, was launched
from the yard of the Eastern Ship
building company here this afternoon
amid the din of whistles from harbor
craft, factories and railway loccomo-
tives. The launching went off as sue
cessfully as could be desired, the big
craft settling into the water as smooth
ly as did her sister ship, the Minnesota,
ten months ago, scarcely ripping the
surface.
The launching was witnessed by
10000 people, not so large a crowd as
saw the Minnesota take the water yet
a great assemblage despite the mean
weather, rain following sleet until
near noon, when the sun peeped from
the clouds for few hours. The pub
lie gathered long before the appointed
hour to watch the launching from the
interior of the shipyard, but the great
er number lined convenient wharves or
had places of vantage on the heights
marked by Forts Griswold and Trum-
bull. Inside the yard some Of the in
vited guests gathered early and stroll
ed about inspecting the shipyard ma

slushing process was resorted to in
places in order to be doubly sure of
success.
Then the Launching.
Then the guests were hidden to the
launching platform, and when all was
ready the word was given the wedge
drivers and block sawyers, while for
few tense moments hardly a word was
spoken, as everyone intently watched
for the first sign of movement. The
last two or three blocks stuck obsti-
nately and had to be split to pieces
before they would liberate the i'm
mense weight resting upon them. These
were split away till there remained
but an inch of thickness and a few
square feet of surface to hold back
the sea monster.
Miss Pennington grasped the bottle of
champagne firmly. She raised it to her
shoulder and stood in readiness to break
1t quickly. When she received the
word she swung the bottle against the
bow with a crash, saying in a firm
voice, 81 christen thee Dakota"

France, and this brought out some
surprising statements regarding the
enormous Indebtedness Russia has al
ready incurred here. According to this
financier, Russia's four loans total
$l4O0,O00,O00, most of which came from
France. Russia has now practically
issued this loan on building the trans
Siberian railway, the new fleet and i'm
provements in internal waterways
The trans Siberian railway alone has
proved a terrible drain, the deficit last
year being $20,000,O0O Therefore, in
the event Of war, Russia must have
more sinews, and it was the opinion
of the financier that she could not place
; the loan in Paris, which has heretofore
been her chief financial reliance.
! On the other hand, the diplomats
compared this with the information
from Toxic that Japan had raised by
voluntary subscriptions 100000 to-
ward her war fund.

WEDS HER WITH
A RING AND A KISS
Conrad Bruncke Thought the
Marriage License United
Him to His Sweetheart.

When Conrad Bruncke went to the
depot yesterday morning and met Miss
Ada E. Grabowska, bright-eyed Pol
ish girl of twenty years, who had trav-
eled all the way from her native land
to become his wife, he thought all that
was necessary to unite himself and his
pretty fair-haired sweetheart was to
secure a marriage license, and he lost
no time in doing so.
Following the meeting Of the lovers
at the union depot, they went direct
to the court house. where Bruncke,
through an interpreter, made appli-
cation for a marriage license.
After some trouble in transmitting
questions and answers by means Of
the interpreter, the license was duly
made out, placed in an envelope and
handed to Bruncke, who paid the re-
CURED fee. Bruncke thought the IL
cense settled matters, so far as his
marriage was concerned, and the pref
ty young Polish girl knew no better.
But there was one thing about mar
riage ceremonies that Bruncke did
know about; he knew it was the duty
of the groom to kiss the bride, and he
did not propose to depart from the
custom, even though the piercing eyes
of a dozen or more clerks We're upon
him.
When the license was handed him,
Bruncke turned to his sweetheart.
placed his arms about her pretty neck
and gave her kiss that could be
heard all over the room. Then he
placed a modest little ring upon her
finger and spoke in his native tongue
to the interpreter.
Deputy Clerk Gerlich, when he wit
messed the ring ceremony, became sus-
picious that the couple might be labor
ing under a misapprehension, and he
confided his suspicious to the inter-
prefer.
The interpreter, in turn, held a con-
versation with the happy couple.
Thought They Were Married.
"They think they're married" said
the interpreter, turning to the deputy.
Deputy Gerlich explained to the in
terpreter that the document was only
a license giving them legal permission
to wed, and that 1t would be neces-
sary for them to look up some minis
ter or other person authorized to per-
form marriage ceremonies before they
could be married.
The explanation was translated to
Bruncke and his sweetheart The
credulous expression upon Bruncke's
face was followed by look of disap-
pointrnent.
He asked some more questions, and,
finally becoming convinced that he
would have to secure the services of
someone authorized to perform mar
rage ceremonies, he took the girls
hand and withdrew the ring from her
finger. He announced before leaving
the office that he would be married by
some priest last night
In applying for license the appli-
can't gave his name as Conrad H. G. T.
Bruncke and his age as twenty-six.
Miss Grabowska's age was given as
twenty.
The marriage of the couple is the Sc
quel of courtship in Poland several
years ago. When Bruncke came to
