which search failed to find. The young
woman who had been ministering to
the wants Of the company had seen
one Of the ~able-bodied girls go out with
something under her shawl too bulky
to be secreted cake.
Run, my dear, to Jenny" she said
to n of the lads. "In picking up her
shawl perhaps she got hold of some
thing else by mistake"
The boy moved off on his stumpy
crutch, and when he returned he held
the coat up in triumph. The accident"
had happened; Jenny had picked it up
with the shawl.
The crippled children crowded close
round the young woman in great per-
%'turbation. Their self-respect had been
wounded, and they looked d~isdainfully
at the few sound children among them.

What the Baby Needed.

l suffered from nervousness and
headache until one day about a year
ago it suddenly occurred to me what a
great coffee drinker l was and 1
thought may be this might have some
thing to do with my trouble, so l shift
ed to tea for a while, but was not bet
ter, if any thing worse.
AT that time l had a baby four
months old that we had to feed on the
bottle, until an old lady friend told
me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three
months ago | commenced using Pos
tum, leaving off the tea and coffee,
and not only have my headaches and
nervous troubles entirely disappeared,
but since then l have been giving psen-
ty of nurse for my baby and have Il
large, healthy child now.
II have no desire to drink anything
but Postum and know it has benefited
my children, and | hope all who have
children will try Postum and find out
for themselves what a really wonder

ing fire. When nearly clear of the
fishing craft, which were heading to-
ward the battle ships, some Russian
shells flew over the trawlers and
struck cruisers, one Of which, the Au-
rora, was hit several times and some
of her men were wounded. including a
priest, who died. The transport Ana
tol apparently became tangled among
the trawlers, which she mistook for
torpedo boats and signaled for aid,
thereby leading the officers of the bat
tie ships to believe the trawlers We're
attacking the Anatol. This, coupled
with the alleged appearance of two
mysterious torpedo boats steaming to-
ward the battle ship, resulted in the
fatal cannonade.

KILLED IN TWO DISASTERS.
Miners Fall to Death and Reservoir
Bursts killing Seventeen Persons.

Bursts Killing seventeen Persons.
T~hirty-five persons were killed
Wednesday in two terrible disasters in
the United States. eighteen in a Penn
sylvania coal mine and seventeen
through the breaking of a water reser-
voir in South Carolina.
The mining accident occurred in II
of the shafts of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Company's mines,
about eight miles south Of Wilkes
barre, at Nanticoke. When the men
started to work eighteen entered the
lowering machine. n few feet below
the surface the steel cable of the car
riaeG, connec' al with the hosting en-
CINE, broke. Instantly the heavy car
shot downward with frightful velocity
and it and the men were crushed at
the bottom of the shaft, several hun
dred feet below.
Frantic efforts were made at once
to reach the men and rescue them if
any had survived. 1t was necessary
to construct a temporary elevator,
however, and every II of the eigh-
teen miners was dead when their fell
low-workers reached the bottom of the
Shaft. Six feet of water was in the
bottom of the shaft, and the men who
were not killed by the fall were drown
ed. The accident was caused by ma
chinery in the engine room going
wrong.
Details from the frightful disaster at
Wi~nSton-Salem. S. c., where seventeen
persons are known to have been
drowned, are meager. but it is be
lieved that many others lost their
lives. The Winston reservoir, stu
ated on top Of a high hill, burst, and
the water swept down the valley with
terrific force, carrying everything be
fore it.
Houses, trees, animals, human be
ings, fences and crops were swept
away by the ,Onrushing flood. Houses
were crushed like ~cggshellS; trees were
snapped off or pulled up by the roots.
There was no chance of escape by any
thing in the path of the water.
The residents of the valley had no
warning of the approaching cataStro-
phe, and men, Women and children
were killed almost before they realized
what was happening.

large number of Golfers. Four of
the battleships, the Barodino, Orel,
Imperator Alexander III. and the Kniaj
Sowaroff, are of the first class; three are
of about 1900 tons displacement and
develop 10000 horsepower and IL knots
speed. The batteries consist of 4 12-inch,
II 6-inch, 20 3-inch, 20 S-pounders and g
1-pounder guns, and from four to six
torpedo tubes, two of which are carried
under water. Their normal coal supply
is 1850 tons, with a maximum capacity
of 1000 tons.
They were launched at various dates
ia 1901 and 1902 at st. Petersburg, and
were given their trials late in 1903 or
early in 1904. The Imperator Alexander
III. on her official trial at KrOnstadt av-
eraged 1876 knots in four runs over a
measured mile, and developed 1926 in
dictated horsepower, on a coal consump-
ton of two pounds per horsepower for
each hour. 1t was intended to send her
to the far East in the early spring, but
her tests appear to have taken place be-
fore she was fully completed.
The other battleships are the Oslabya,
OF 12,674 tons, launched in 1898; the
Navarin, of 10,206 tons, launched in
| 1891. and the Sissoi Veliky, of 10,400
tons, launched in 1894.
Two armored cruisers-the Dmitr;
| Donskoi, of 5,SS2 tons, end the Animal
| Nakhinoff, of 1924 tons-were launched
In 1888 and 1884 respectively. These
vessels have been re-engined and other
wise oyerhauled, but at the best they are
only medium representatives of this i'm
portant class of fighting ships and can
not be compared favorably with the Asa
ma and her sister ships of the japanese
navy.
The protected cruisers are the Oleg,
6,675 tons; Aurora, 6,630; .Almaz, 3,2S5;
Syietlaua, 3,S2S, and Temtchug and
| Jzumrad, 1850 tons each. All of these
are modern vessels of a useful but not
: highly important type.

The RoYal Color.

Purple has always been considered
the royal color. The Inflated Charles
|. was, however, at his own desire,
crowned in a robe of white. Although
he was seriously reminded that of the
two exceptions to this rule. Richard IL.
and Henry vi. who wore white satin
robes at their coronations; both had
come to a violent end, one at Ponte-
tract castle and one in the Tower,
Charles l. was resolute in his decision.
and, when, twenty-three years after
ward, almost TO a day, his body was
conveyed to its grave through a heavy
snowstorm, the superstitious could not
help remarking that the third white
king had suffered Il violent death.

Official reports from Port Arthur, made public by imperial headquarters
in Toxic, show that the latest Japanese attack is by far the greatest since
the beginning of the siege and apparently will end with the reduction of the
most important forts guarding the north and west sides of the citadel. The
terrible fire of hundreds of great siege and naval guns by the Japanese have
battered large holes in the forts crOwning many of the hills, notably Sungshu,
Rfhlung and Keekwan mountains, two of which ares shown in the map, and
the IZ (EtseShan) Notifications. Following the successful bOmbardment the
Japanese have captured the trenches supporting many of these positions, and
from this vantage point the miners and sappers have discharged mines of
dynamite against the walls of the forts, tearing great gaps in them.
