Mr.. Douglas is in possession of much

be breach Of faith wit hthe Russian
authorities, upon whom he and his se!-
low missionaries are dependent for pro-

Mr.. Douglas is surprised at the ignor-
ance manifested in United States ipa-

Manuchuria, about which there can be
no reason for concealment. For in

another popular misapprehension IS
the elief that no more than five or six
trains daily can brought down on tn.
, berian Railway. Mr.. Douglas has per-
sonall yseen as high as twelve in one
day. Nor is the army dependent on this
means for food supply. but seizes the
major portion OF its subsistence from
the Manchurian peasantry. For this and
other reasons 1t is the belief Of Mr..
Douglas that the war viii not be ended
within two or three years.
The feeling among the Mancnurian
populace, says Mr.. Douglas. is strongly
pro-Japanese. He thinks the reason for
this is the difference IN the treatment
accorded the peasantry by the two
armies. When the Japanese occupied
Manchuria in their war with China they
impressed freely, but compensated al

Mr.. Douglas reports the condition of

much so as might be feared. There
are some thirty men missionaries in

How Ii FIauntcd Itself nt One Time
In the French Capital.
Some of the old stories told of the
gaming tables can hardly be believed
nowadays, though they are related In
such cool, matter of fact style by
writers of the time as to show that In
the eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries the practice formed part
of high class social existence Captain
Gronow relates that,s having been ap-
pointed to the staff OF General Picton,
who was then starting for Brussels
QS15), he obtained $1,000 from the ar
my agents, which," he continues, Il
took with me to gambling house In
ST. James square, where / managed,
by some wonderful accident, to win
1900" With this sum he subsequently
provided his necessary outfit.
When the allies marched into Paris
after the battle of Waterloo, Gronow
found the Palais Royal hotbed OF
gambling-'the very heart OF French
dissipation" There were tables for
all classes. The workman might play
with 20 sous or the gentleman with
10000 francs. The law did not prevent
any class from indulging in vice that
assisted to I'LL the Golfers of the munich
pality OF Paris" The English visitors
were not slow to participate in the
play, one officer of the guards obtaining
leave of absence and never quitting the
Palais Royal till the time came for his
return to the regiment.
Large fortunes were often lost at
gambling In those days, the losers dis
appearing never more TO be heard Of.

income OF S25O,000 year, lost every

FLOWERS IN MEXICO.
80 Plentiful Thnt They Are Used For
Great Public Decorations.


Great Public Decorations.
As n people the Mexicans are very
fond of flowers, and every village, town
and city has its place where flowers
are sold, and many of the larger places
have extensive flower markets. Often
the flowers brought to the market are
wild specimens found in the woods and
the fields, but all are beautiful. In
many of the smaller towns and villages
the public parks and the sidewalks OF
the streets are used as places for the
sale Of flowers. Everywhere they may
be bought at surprisingly low prices
So plentiful are flowers they are used
for great public decorations. Some
times whole parks and the fronts OF
buildings for many streets are covered
with floral decorations on a feast day.
The Mexican love of flowers has been
Inherited from n long line OF flower
loving ancestors. More than thou
sand years ago the chief feature OF
worship among the Toltecs was the
great floral Offering which was made to
the fair god once u year and which
lasted for n whole Mexican week. Dur
ing this festival one of the features
was a great floral procession, which
traversed the principal streets OF the
city to the sound of musical instru-
ments. Every one in the procession
carried flowers to lay upon the altar OF
the god or 10 place upon the steps or
walls of his temple. In this procession
were princes, mobiles. priests and COM
moners. This floral festival was an
expression of the love OF nature for
which the Toltecs were noted. Until
they came into contact with the Az
tees later on In history they were pure
ly nature worshIpers. and flowers and
fruits formed the chief part of their
offerings. SO the Mexican comes by
his love OF flowers honestly.
