tempt TO bring together Russia's scat
tered naval forces or endeavor to in
flict damage upon the Japanese navy.
The story must, however, be viewed
cautiously, the only approach to con-
frmatiOn from any other quarter be-
ing in a dispatch from a correspon-
dent at Yin Kow, which merely says:
''Vice Admiral Makaroff has issued or
ders to the effect that the saving of
coal is unnecessary, but that the big
gun ammunition in the forts must not
be wasted. Evidently this ammunition
Is running short" There is no other
news to hand on the subject.
A Toxic correspondent sends an
unconfirmed rumor to the effect that
Japanese marines have landed and
occupied Dalny.
1t may be remarked that the British
newspapers all regard Vice Admiral
Togo's report that he has laid mines
at Port Arthur as a mere bluff, and
they say that such a feat would be
impossible under fire. 1t is thought
that if Vice Admiral Makaroff closed
the channel it was in order to pre-
vent the ingress of Japanese torpedo
boat O6SITOy6FS, as was done at w Ell
Hal Wei during the Chino-Japanese
war
It is a subject of unceasing remark
and conjecture that nothing has been
heard of the Vladivostok squadron,
and it is beginning to be believed that
It is really inside the harbor of Vlad-
ivostok One Toxic correspondent
says that according to a dispatch
from General San, the Russians are
believed to be withdrawing from the
northeast frontier of Korea and con-
centrating at Vladiyostok Another
correspondent at Toxic throws a light
upon Japan's financial intentions and
says it is estimated that Japan will
be able to maintain a war for eighteen
months without borrowing abroad.
The policy is to retain the gold in
Japan, and it is believed that It will
not be necessary TO spend abroad
more than one-eighth of the cost of
the war, this expenditure being chief
ly on coal, cordite and steel. The fact
that Port Arthur is completely block
AIDED permits a great saving, because
Japan will be able to charter vessels
at peace rates.

TABLE TALK OVER THE
COFFEE.

The talk that evening began with the
fad of the "Vegetarians and their be-
iefs. It soon developed that the beauti-
full Miss Schuyler thought herself a
vegetarian" vBut,n said Dr. Smith,
"what do you eat? n vAll kinds of veget-
ables and fruit" said she, vthen drink
milk, have eggs for breakfast, besides at
other meals l eat butter, pudding, cheese
and cake, and tell every one they ought
to do as l do, / feel so much better y
The doctor looked astonished. "And
you call that vegetarian? My dear young
woman don't you know that butter, eggs
and milk are animal foods? Then, too,
it is mistake to urge others to follow
you. What is good for you may not be
good for others. The EsquiIno of the
Arctic regions couldn't support life on a
vegetable diet. Some animal food is
necessary to keep heat in his body. On
the other hand, besides the individual
peculiarities and tn climate, the condi-
tons under which each person lives,
would make it a mistake for you to rec
ommend to everybody to follow your

my babe was born seemingly fair,

saw the baby he told me to get Cuti-

To please him did so, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over it, and

Chinese Names for White Men.

The native servants employed by
white foreigners in China rarely learn
to call their employers nv their proper
names when among themselves. If the
white man understands Chinese they
are, Of course, careful to refer to him
by such deeply respectful names as
"Heaven-bOrn" or Prince Of Flow

fish, the case is different
There was once British Warship
on the China station which had native
servants in the wardroom mess. None
of the officers spoke Chinese One
day they invited an American to dine
with them. The head butler tried the
stranger in Chinese, but he looked
blank, although he really knew Chi
nese thoroughly.
Several times during the meal he
laughed, but it was not until it was
over that he explained the cause of his
mirth.
You should hear the beautiful
names these walters call us, he said.

A CURIOUS fowl about the size |
"a Of an English pheasant is
4 a found in the northeastern part
of South America 1t is called
the ventriloquial fowl. This bird runs
around the ground or flies up into low
trees, uttering a peculiar cry con-
stantly, which seems to come from
any place except from the fowl itself.
Now it seems to come from up IN the
tree tops, now from out of the ground,
now from the right and then from the
left, until the nearer is bewildered.
Two pairs of the feathered ventrilo-
quists are in the Jardin DIES Plants,
Paris, now, where an attempt will be
made to acclimatize them.
AS long ago as the days of Napo-
leon, the Empress Josephine tried to
acclimatize these fowls i'll her aviary
at Malmason, but failed to do so, the
birds not being able to bear the eli
mate for any length of time.
Another curious bird is the Kiwi of
| New Zealand. The Kiwi is one of
those strange creatures which appear
to be mixture of types. 1t looks as
| if it had started out to be bird
then thought better of it, and stopped
| half way 1t has neither wings nor
| tail and it's legs are short and stubby
It's body is covered with a growth
which is something between hair and
feathers, but in its main characteristics
it is bird, and is so classed by natur-
alists, who give it the name of apteryx
mantelli
1t is a very rare bird and is destined
to become extinct before long.
Another strange mixture of an ami
NAL, also found in New Zealand, is the
echidna hystrix. This creature is as
wierd looking as his name. 1t lays
eggs after the manner of bird or rep
tile, and has a neck like a turkey COB
Ter, terminating in beak instead of a
real head. But otherwise, it pretends
to be an animal It's body, shaped like
half a melon, is covered with fur.
through which stick out an enormous
number of quilts, like those upon the
fretful porcupine.
The echidna has short, thick legs
and is web-footed. 1t has a pouch in
which it carries its eggs until they are
Matched out by the heat of its body
The echidna is not pretty, but it is in
terestlng.
A comparatively well-known ANNA
freak is the duck-billed platypus
which has the bill of duck, the body
of an otter and scattered characters
/ tics Of several more birds, beasts anC
fishes. 1t lives in burrow and lay:
eggs like hen. No wonder the nat
