unquestoned, Thus prematurely aband-

has provoked the indignation of resi-

made to the United States government.
This Is done especially in view of the
action of the Japanese in placing their
consulate and other property under
British protection.

y Toxic, March 15.--It is strongly be-
1feved here that the Russian fleet aban-
doned Port Arthur after the fourth at
tack made upon it by the Japanese
feet and is endeavoring to reach vlad-
ivostok. Confirmation OF this move-
ment is not obtainable from any relia-
Bile source, but recent scouting in the
vicinity of Port Arthur has failed to
reveal the presence of any Russian
warships.
"A steamer bearing ten wounded and
the bodies of nine seamen who were
killed in the Port Arthur fight on the

sian torpedo boat dcstroyers has
reached Sasebo. The survivors unite in
praising the desperately heroic attack
on the Russians and tell story of a
personal encounter be tween Japanese
sailor and the captain of the Russian
destroyer Steregustchi. When the
japanese closed on the Russians the
sailor sprang aboard the enemy's ves-
sci and met her commander emerging
from the cabin. The sailor felled the
olicer by striking him on the head
with cutlass The Russian endeav-
ored to rise, but the japanese sailor
kicked him overheard and he was
drowned The Japanese say there
were twenty-five dead on the two Rus
sian destroyers. The Japanese dead
were landed at sasebo and received
with full military honors.

The Wonderful Trick egg.

Take raw egg and empty 1t by
means Of pin holes. AS soon as the
inside of it is dry fill 1t quarter full of
sand and then. with little wax, seal
up the holes. 1t now looks like an or.
dinary egg.
The next time you have bciled eggs
for breakfast take your prepared egg
and substitute for it the one that is
given you.
Then you may safely announce that
your egg is ready to obey your COM
mands.
You can place it at will in any po.
sition you desire. 1t will stand on the
edge of a knife or on the rim of a
glass, no matter whether you put II
endways or sideways.
In the last way you will cause more
astonishment, because it will seem to
trespass against the laws of gravity.
The only precaution yon need to OBJ
serve is to tap the egg gently, so as
to cause the sand it contains to settle
each time at the bottom, and thus II
will assure any position you wish.

Excellent Hou Houses,

A few years ago the Iowa Agricul-
tural College began using a style Of
portable hog house that has been used
by the institution ever since. Where
swine are kept at some distance from
the farm buildings, such houses make
an excellent temporary sleeping ac-
commodation.
Professor Curtiss gives the following
method of constructing this style of a
hog house. The house Is eight feet
square. There are four posts on each
side, two by eight inches in size The
sleepers, five in number, which are
two by four scantlings, are made in
runner shape, and are eight feet long.
Four plates are required which are also
eight feet long. Three sets of rafters
are used, which are cut in flve-foot
lengths The ridge pole Is eight feet
eight inches long. The flooring is made
out of four boards, twelve by sixteen
cut in the center. The sides and ends
are covered in with eight-inch drop
siding, with grooved inch rough boards,
ten by twelve, cut into two pieces.
without waste for the roof. The win
dow in the end is twenty-four by
twenty-one inches, that in the roof two
by five feet. The door is made two feet
six inches by two feet eight inches
Where not otherwise specified, the
lumber is two by four inches. Where
these houses are to be permanent, they
may be floored. 1t affords an excellent
place for the SOW at narrowing time
and the window In the roof let's in sun
light and warmth during the winter
days. If used in the winter it is a good
idea to bank up the house little at
the bottom.

Rose CUTTINGS,

A lady who Is quite successful in
starting roses from cuttings, showed
us her rose bed in which rose bushes
of good size and vigorous growth were
pointed out as having been started
from cuttings, while interspersed
among the various bushes were small
cuttings recently planted which gave
equal promise of growth, each being
protected with tumbler or a fruit
jar. Her method Is to take cuttings of
roses which have had the bloom on,
as 1t is her idea better bearing bushes
will be obtained in that way.
Mix plenty of sand with the dirt in
which they are planted, and after
pinching off all the lower leaves land
of course the bloom If 1t has one) in
sert pretty deep in the soil and press 1t
firmly around them. Cover with a
glass which should not be removed
for a month. The glasses were to be
left on also through the winter as a
protection from the cold. 1t might
be well to mention that this rose bed
ran through the middle OF sunny
back yard not interfered with by the
shade Of trees or shrubbery. II any
one is looking for fascinating work
none better can be found than expert
menting with rose cuttings.
