Prophets Disagree.

Encouragement for the opposing views of our homemade war experts is found in enc of the coincidences of Sundays news. Two Americans of prominence and intelligence, one of them hitherto stationed at Tokio, and the other at Port Arthur, went into the prophecy business on the same day. One of them was interviewed at Paris, the other at St. Petersburg. Thus the Tokio man, at Paris:
 "J. R. Herod who was for years secretary of the American legation at Tokio, and who also held an impor- tant pest at the embassy to Korea, has arrived in Paris. He is particu- larly well informed on the war situa- tion in the orient, and confidently predicts that Russia has at last more than her match. Mir. Herod says hat, according to his views, Japan is cer- tain to come off victorious in the con- fiict, although he admits that there is every prospect of a long-cOntinued war. He asserts that Russia has not a chance. against her little antagonist, and that the civilized nations are about to get such a lessen in the fine art of making war from Japan, as they have never dreamed before. He pre- diets that the dashing tactics of the Japanese army and navy commanders will be carried on to the end of the conflict. and that they will explode completely many of the theories that have obtained for many years as to the conduct of campaigns both by land and sea"
 The Port Arthur man ventured no predictions as to the outcome cf the war, but he had little fear of Port Arthur's fall:
 w. Smith, a brother of Samuel Smith, United States consul at Mos COW, and who is in business at Port Arthur, has arrived here. MT. Smith expresses confidence that Port Arthur will never be taken unless the Jap anese sacrifice thousands of men. To the Associated Press he said: The Russians had 38,0O0 men at Port Arthur at the time I left there and every man is hale and hearty and is prepared to fight until the last drop to prevent the capture of the fortress. All the surrounding heights are strongly fortified by intrenchments, entertainments, and gun emplacement5 scientifically disposed. The Japanese can only take the place if they are in overwhelming force, or if the Russians are asleep, and I do not believe that the latter will occur, in view of the vigilance everywhere manifested. The Russians have ample stores of provi- sions for four and half years.
 While there is so much ground for the contrary views of the experts, it is to be expected that Kuropatkin and Kuroki, Oku and Stoessel, will go on fighting.

WeyIer and the Cubans.

Our old friend, Valeriano Weyler bungles things just as badly when Inc comes bearing the olive branch as when he goes forth to make war. He tried the other day to do the agreeable and graceful thing in a letter If con graduation to that other invtncible warrier, Maximc GomeZ-what 'nern- ories of theatrical and imaginary bloodshed do these names recall! Gen. Weyler wrote to Gen. Gomez, ccn- graduating Cuba upon the stability of her government and the fact that she had taken kindly to the pro-Spanish. anti-Yankee. Iberic League, a move Ynent calculated to perpetuate in Amer ica the Latin character and Spanish customs.
 veyler is at one with many of the Cnbans in his hatred for the United States and fer all things American, and all would have been well If he had end ed his letter with the first paragraph of congra tulation. But he referred to the death of Parcho Gomez, the cid generals son, in battle at Punto Bravo, ard intimated that the young adjutant committed suicide rather than leave the side cf his father, who was seriously wounded in that fight.
 The aIlusion was unfortunate, for it made Pancho's friends recall the man. ner in which the young man met his death. They assert that young Gomez and Maceo were alive when captured, though seriously. wounded, and both were assassinated-literally chopped % pleees ey weyler's soldiers-their heaae being severed from their bodies The Cgbans generally are greatly aroused, according to the dispatches. It does not take much to arouse a CUtaH.

experiment along the lines so frequent ly suggested by medical men and others, and there will be some curiosity as to the practical workings of the statute.
 One objection already made is that it is scarcely worth while for single state to enact prohibitory laws of this nature. since applicants for a marriage license can go into a neighboring state where there are no restrictions; but the argument used in reply is that the reform had to begin somewhere. The chief weakness of such a law is the fact that it will have no restraining in huence on the element of our popula- ton against which it is chiefly directed the criminal classes.
 And what is to become of the emo tional girls who insist on marrying drunkards in order to reform them?

George Bruce CorteIyou.

While some republicans make no
 concealment of their belief that a more
 practical" politician than George B. Cortelyou should have been selected by | Mir. Roosevelt for the chairmanship of the republican national committee, all unite in paying high tribute to his many excellent qualities.
 But it is argued, and not without force that a man who has made such pronounced success of everything he done, is not likely to fail in manifest ing the talents necessary to the man. agement of presidential campaign. President Cleveland, President McKin- ley and President Roosevelt, each in
 turn found MT. Cortelyou indispensable On this point the Washington corre- spondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch says:
 Three presidents found him not only a perfect recording modernism, but also au adviser out of whose mouth came wisdom and the best of counsel.
 At Buffalo, on that day when Will liam Mckinley received the wound which made him the third president to suffer death at the hands of an assas- sin. the man to whom he turned in the moment of greatest anguish was Cor telyou.
 "Cortelyou. my wife." said the wounded man, thus placing upon him the heavy duty of telling Mrs. Me Kinley what had happened and seeing to it that her delicate health suffered no greater strain on account of it than was absolutely necessary.
 Two years ago, at Pittsfield, when the trolley car struck the presidents carriage, the first thing President Roosevelt said after he recovered from his daze was Where's Cortelyou?"
 TO my mind these two incidents tell more clearly than anything else what two presidents of the United States. both very strong men. were in crises their first thought of assistance con- strained them to ask for Cortelyou. They knew him. They had seen him put to the test and knew he would not fail. Quiet. unobtrusive. Cortelyou the man of few words and serious mien inspired their confidence. Is it any wonder President Roosevelt in the great perplexity caused by the warning of rivai interests and jealousies, turned to him after he found it impossible to select a campaign manager from among the men who, by common con- sent, were accounted fitted for that kind of vork?"

The Expectations Russians.

One Of the noteworthy developments of the war is the deep hold that super stition holds on the Russians, great and small alike. According to the Paris Temps, there is much talk in St. Peterzbusg and in other Russian cities of the probability that the cza- will so to the seat of war. A newly discovered prophecy Of St. serafn, 1t is said. will induce him to take su- preme command of the Russian forces in the east.
 Last July, it will be remembered, the remains Of St. Serain of Sarof were carried iuto a church specially built for their reception. Father serann, as lie was commonly called, died about sev- erfT Tssrs ago In the desert cf Sarof and w.as buried near his hermit hut. Some little time after his death a well noe for from his grave was discovered, whose water had curative qualities. The church, after due investigation, concluded that the well was holy and the saint was canonized. Last year the emperor and all the imperial fam fly were present at the removal of the saints remains. The czar himself and three grand dukes carried the precious burden to the place prepared for 1t; and 1t vas the Czarina Feodorovna- who, by the way, Of late has become very piovs-~-ho designed the dTapery and tive decorations which mark the new place where the bones of the saint ls
 Here IS one of the predictions said to have been made by St. Serafin: "EtuTiug the year following the removal og my aches hence to a church a ter rible wal will be let loose upon Russia, and It will cause much suffering The czap WilI go to that war. I will go with him and we will tear to pieces the apron of England"
 This prediction first came to light last July. 1t was discussed in several court circles, and great importance was attached 30 the promise of the saint to Srccrnpany the czar to the front.

no glue should be used. Instead of
trying to fit the edges of the boards of
the top tightly as in gluing, round off
all the edges both above and below,
leaving an obvious crack. Round off

Treat the boards of the seat same
as the top. Screw the seat and top
boards down with solid screws, plac-
ing the screws near the edges of the
boards to keep them from warping and
curling up. Then let the sun and rain
have their way and you will have a
real" weathered oak piece, which
could be used in winter as a unique
indoor piece
Two braces should run lengthwise
under the seat, screwed or mortised
into the end pieces and screwed to the
seat boards.
To operate the affair the top would
have to be lifted off and set on edge
on the ends Of the cross-pieces, the
back braces" being hooked over the
pegs in the outsides of the arms. When
used as table the top should be fas-
tened on by running loose" pegs
through the arms into the cross-pieces
on the under side of the top. The back
brace will then fold up under the top.
While this piece might appear rough at
first sight, it's design would make it
odd and interesting. Journal.

BITS ABOUT RAILWAYS.

To-day there are approximately 1,000,-
900 railroad men in the United States
under what amounts to practical rule
of total abstinence.
Denver is soon to have big plant for
the handling of gilsonite and asphaltum
from the enormous beds of these natural
products, which lie along the line of the
new 'Moffat road" the short line" OF
railway that is being constructed, from
Denver to Salt Lake City, Utah. The
plant is expected to cost about 81 900, 600,
and to employ approximately 1000 men.
One Of the northwestern railroads will
substitute row Of evergreen trees for
the board now-breaks which have long
been employed to protect the tracks
from the drifts of winter. Planks often
get out of order and are constantly
showing the effects of wear. A live
tree repairs its own injuries. This dis
tinction was in the mind of the man
who said that he preferred his bare
hand to mittens, which could not mend
their own bruises.
The first railway in China was built in
1897 and extended from Picking to Tien-
Tsin, distance of rs miles. 1t has
since been extended to Shan-Hai-Kwan,
an additional distance of 81 miles. From
Picking there is road to Tungtschu, a
distance of 1876 miles. The main road.
however, is the Lu-Han railroad, ex-
tending through Pechili, Honan and
Hupe to Han-Kau, with a total length
of 652 miles. There are a number OF
branches to this road
twenty-five railroads center at Chi
cago, excluding separate divisions; ten
of them eastern trunk lines, ten southern
of western trunk lines and five belt or
transfer roads designed for the inter-
change of eastern, western and southern
traffic. Within the district bounded by
Ohio, Desplaines and Eighteenth streets
and Lake Michigan, an area Of say
$500 acres, all or nearly all these trunk
lines and their several lake-carrying
auxiliaries own or lease in and out
freight stations. This region is the
Chicago terminal" Here centers 30
per cent. of the total mileage Of the
country.

EVERYBODY HAS TROUBLES.
90 Don't for a Single Minute Think
Your Lot Is Harder Than That
Of Anyone Else.

Don't think when the clouds of ad-
Versity hang heavily over you that
your lot is harder than that of every
one else, Things are pretty evenly
divided in this world, and no matter
now bad the trouble is, bear in mind
the tact that 1t might be worse.
mo one goes through life without his
snare OF sorrow. Some fortunate peo-
pie are able to throw 1t off and rise
again buoyant and hopeful; others are
conquered by their troubles and never
rise above them.
Doht assume that the man or wom-
an with the CHEEKY face and manner
nave never known grief. Their sor-
rows, says the Chicago American, may
nave exceeded yours tenfold, but they
nave simply made up their minds to
make the best of things and present a
brave face
There is enough sorrow in the world
without adding to it by going around
with long drawn face and whining
manner. With the responsibilities of
MANHOOD and womanhood come cares
and trials; we cannot escape them, be-
cause we cannot live and love without
sometimes seeing the reverse side of
the shield.
But we need not meet trouble half
way, and we need not succumb to the
little worries, for if we do we have no
strength left to fight the big ones when
they come.
Nearly every cloud has silver lin
Ing If we only look hard enough to find
1t, and it is well to remember that
sometimes the very thing that brings
sorrow to us brings Joy to some one
else.
1t is a great mistake to expect too
much sympathy from our friends. Up
to certain point they will sympathize
and listen patiently to our tale of woe;
but too much woe tires even the most
ready sympathizer, and if we always
carry sad face we will find we are
left much to ourselves
Nothing commands so much respect
and sympathy as trouble bravely borne.
A smile makes more friends than a
whine and hopeful nature is great
blessing
Things are always at their very
darkest just before a turning point.
Let us learn to take the bitter with the
sweet, to make the best of our woes
for the sake of our joys.
Into each life some rain must fall"
but some of the showers are only sun
showers after all, and let us take
refuge under the umbrella of hope and
watch for the rainbow that is shining
brightly across the dark clouds.
