TIMELY CALLING
How the Pastor Saved a Life.

A man near Fort Gay, W. Va., made an entire failure in getting strength from the kind Of food he ate, and not Knowing that the trouble was with the food kept on losing health until the doc tors gave him up to die.
 It was supposed to be consumption, because he was wasting away steadily, and slowly dying. His minister called from time to time, and one day brought along a package of Grape-Nuts, think ing from what he knew of the famous Good that perhaps it might help him. The sick man took to it at once and from that day began to get well. In writing he says:
 q have walked to town to-day, three miles. Have gained over forty pounds in about two months, and my neighbor don't know what to say. I frequently am told it was as if am raised from the dead. Everybody here knows of my case. you Ncan tell people to write to the postmaster or Rev. l.. D. Bryan. will make sworn statement that Grape Nuts saved my life" Name given by Pos.um Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
 This is another illustration that where all other food fails one can be brought back to heaithl and strength on Grape- Nuts There's areason." 8

RUSSIA ADDRESSES POWERS

 troops in the independent empire oi Corea, which had declared its neutral ity; second, with division of its fleet it made a sudden attack on February 8, that is, three days prior to the dec laration of war, on two Russian war ships in the neutral port of chemulDo. The commanders of these ships had not been notified of the severance of diplo- mtaic relations, as the Japanese mali ciously stopped the delivery of Russian telegrams by the Danish cables, and ed- stroyed the telegraphic communication of the Corean government. The details of this dastardly attack are contained and published in an official telegram from the Russian minister at Seoul.
 "Third-In spite of the international
 laws above mentioned, and shortly be- fore the opening of hostilities, the Jap
 anese captured as prizes of war certain Russian merchant ships in neuarol ports of Corea.
 "Fourth-Japan declared to the Elm peror of Corea, through the Japanese
 minister at Seoul, that Corea would henceforth be under Japanese admin AoLAdllOl d4tQ Suc WdIllCQ lllc CllpC1OA that, in case of his noncompliance, Japanese troops would occupy the pal ace.
 "Fifth-Through the French minister at Seoul she summoned the Russian representa- at the Corean court to leave the country with the staffs of the Russian legation and consulate. Recognizing that all the above facts constitute fragrant breach of inter- national law, the imperial government considers it to be its duty to lodge a protest with all the powers against this procedure of the Japanese government, and it is firmly convinced that all the
 powers, valuing the principles which guarantee their relations, will agree with the Russian attitude. At the same the imperial government considers it necessary to issue timely warning that, owing to Japan's illegal assump-
 tion of power in Corea, the government
 declares all orders and declarations
 which may be issued on the part of the
 Corean government to be invalid.
 T beg you to communicate this doc
 urnent to the governments to which
 you are accredited.

OLD PUTS HORsEI

The skull of the horse upon which
 General Israel Putnam made his fa-
 nous ride down the one hundred stone steps when pursued by the British, as
 chronicled in history, may "adorn" the Putnam cottage in Greenwich and be one of the chief attractions in the Rev
 olutionary museum, when Putnam Hill
 chapter opens up the cottage next
 spring. It is the intention of Irwin Ed- wards to present skull of the horse. which he says was Puthams charger, to the ladies of the Daughters of the
 American Revolution. The story is that Putnam's horse died of old age, af- ter having served both the general and later an itinerant Methodist minister. The minister's son was a surgeon, and he dissected the animal and saved the
 skull intact. This surgeons son was a physician, and he, realizing the historic value of the animal polished the bones to snowy whiteness and put the skull away in his attic It is this skull which Mir Edwards says he has found and will present to the Daughters of the American Revolution.

LIBRARY COMMITTEE REPORTS.

Many New Books Added During the
 Past Year and More Room Urgently
 Needed.
 The library committee submitted their annual report to Mayor Studley late yesterday afternoon. The principal item in the report is the statement that there Is an urgent need for more room in the library building.
 The finance committee, through Chairman Hitler, states that the num- Der of books purchased during the last year amounts to 6.253 volumes. Seven hundred and forty books have been re- ceived as gifts, which makes total of 7,3O7 volumes added to the library dur ing the year 1908.
 Owing to wear 1.814 volumes have been discarded. Forty books have been lost and paid for. This makes the total Joss of books for the year. 1854.
 The city appropriated for the support and maintenance of the library. for the last year, $19,0O0. The amount re- ceived from the Marett fund for new books was $3,341.94 This made the total sum available for the past year $22,S41.94. The total amount expended for books was s5421.
 The amount of fines received for keep ing books out over time amounted, dur ing the year. to s1,OS0.24.
 The board of directors call special at tention in the report to the overcrowded condition of the library building and they further state that they hope that at some time New Haven may have a new modern library similar to other cities of it's size.
 The librarian reports that the most important gift of the year was a set of abridgments of specifications of British patents, which consist of nearly 300 bound volumes.
 The year on the whole has been 8 very satisfactory one and much prog ress is reported.
 The board has voted to spend small sum each year to purchase duplicate school books which pupils in the schools may take home. This plan has been in operation successfully in two outlying districts and in many cases it has been the means by which some of the pupils and their parents colud get the books for home study. The general extension of the plan, it is thought, will very much extend the usefulness of the liz brary to those living at a distance.
 The report also states that owing to the crowded condition of the building it may be necessary to store some of the books in the cellar before the pres eilt year is finished.
 There has been considerable painting and kalsomining done during the past year and there is lot more necessary to be done this year.
