WHITE MICE AT A SERVICE.

Uncanny Scenes Witnessed I'm B6d-
 dhfst Te---le at Lasga, In Tibet.
 A recent dispatch to the London Dali ly Mail from Lassa, in Tibet, gives a striking description of visit to. the Buddhist temple there during the Serv- ice. The correspondent says:
 The monks have extraordinarily deep, devotional voices, reaching deep CT tones than any western bass. The voices of a thousand monks resembled the drone of a subterranean monster. unsteady plaintive, the voice of the earth God praying for release to the God of the skies.
 Tn the inner temple are three enor- nous images of the Buddhist trinity, set with jewels from foot to crown. In the upper story, in a place we called 'hell,' some lamas were worshiping the demon protectress of the grand lama. The music here was harsh and bar barrie. On pillars and on the walls were displayed every freak of diabol- ical invention in the shape of scrolls and devil masks. The object of this worship was huddled in a corner, dwarf hideous and malignant enough for such rites.
 "AlI about the lamas' feet ran little white mice searching for grain, with which they are fed daily. They. are scrupulously reverenced, as in their fraiI bodies the souls of previous guardians of the shrine are believed to be reincarnated
 Some of the rites were conducted in absolute silence. As we watched from latticed window some acolytes looked up, but the monks sat like stone fig ures, apparently oblivfous of our pres ence. The reek of candles was almost Suffocating."

the down grade. For foreigners, how ever, the greatness of France has all ways lain in the spiritual realm. She has fed the world with ideas and ideals It has been a bitter blow to the hopes of the human race that precisely the country of liberty, equality and fra ternity' should have produced Drey fus case. Here in Avignon, when read on the walls Death to the Jews it is not only as Jew that feel tha France has plunged back into the dar ages. was ipt America when the Dres fus trial was taking place at Rennes- if Frenchmen could only understans the horror that shook all America at ths verdict they would be able to gauge how much they have lost in the opinion of mankind-they who, however dis tanced in material progress, might still aspire to the spiritual hegemony of the peoples. The license of the French stage and of French literature is an other argument for decadence. None but French playwright would be per mitted to place on the stage the carica- ture of a living parsonage, though Dr. Nordau may console himself by the remembrance that Aristophanes lam pooned Socrates. Moreover, the ex- ploitation of the sex theme is pushed in France to the limits of stiffness Will Frenchmen never get tired of reading the same joke and seeing the same pictures? There is a total ab sence of perspective and a total lack of humor in their feverish interest il this subject. One would say natiol of schoolboys gloating over their frs discovery of sex. The serious study 0
 fife by Flaubert or Zola is quite an
 1ther affair.
 ''Still France is too great to be de
 paired of and too necessary for civi iization, and If she produced a Dreyfui case, she produced also Dreyfusard party and men like Colonel Piccard, able to sacrifice all for honor. It is such clements that will ever preserve France from decadence."

of the sciences. Very little in all this magnificent exhibit Of industry, skill and patience, the development of hun dreds of years of precept and practice, indicates scientific knowledge. The in- huence of occidental civilization has only touched the seacoast cities of the empire. China proper is without chem ical laboratories and machine shops, technical schools and engineering works. Exact knowledge that may be acquired only through an understand ing of the sciences is not much in evil dence here. Still enthroned in China is that superstition which is the an- tithesis of scientific understanding and which disappears before science as darkness yields to light Keen and clever as the Chinese are, the empire has one great lesson yet to learn if she would be abreast of the nations, for all modern progress has no other than scientific foundation. Let us send missionaries of science to China.
 One cannot get nearer to first princi- ples in mechanics than here in Chi mas realm. In one place we see press so primitive that it is a mere slot be- tween two logs bolted together. The pumice to be pressed out is laid in the slot in sacks or coarse wrappings, and wedges are driven In one after anoth- CT, slowly crowding the pumice into smaller space and pressing out the juice or oil. Perhaps this is one req son why there is no drunkenness in China, for heaven surely must be where there is no opportunity for evil.
 A mill for grinding rice consists of two round millstones with flat surfaces, lying against each other, the upper one of which receives half rotation at the hands of the miller, who is buster By far than the modern miller of a 500 barrel tmi1l and much more weary when night sends him to rest Here, too, is an OK mill for grinding and a treadmill for cleaning rice. Here are measures for grain and products of all kinds. They are generally of wood, the large ones strapped with iron and good for many years of wear, and the shapes quite odd to us who build such things for facility as well as utility. A milk dipper exactly the shape of the round cup with long handle used by Ameri- can milkmen who sell from cans is made of bamboo. It would hardly sat isfy the American notion of a thor oughly sanitary utensil, but much scalding and washing might preserve its sweetness. A blacksmith's bellows is a box that any bright boy might make, containing plunger and nov able partition, a mere air pump with. out the property of producing con- hnuous jet of air such as the Ameri- can blacksmith demands and such as the leather bellows gives.

MARRYING IN THE ARMY.

Why General CorbSn Believes Officers
 Should Ask Secretary of War Esrnt.
 Tn his annual report Major General Henry 0. Corbin, commanding the At lantic division of the army, with head quarters in New York, makes some striking recommendf lions for restrics tions on the marriage of army officers. says a Washington dispatch. Accord ing to General Corbln, no officer should be permitted to marry until he has first obtained the permission of the secre- tary of war and has satisfied that official that his income is sufficient to support himself and family and that he is entirely free from debt. General Corbin says:
 Marriage of army officers who have made no proper provision for assuming the responsibility therefor Is hurtfui both to the army and to the officers themselves To this broad statement there are of course exceptions, as there are to all broad statements. but the general fact remains that our army ie overmarried. The pay of subaltern officer is hardly enough for his proper support and the expenses of his equip ment and uniform. If to this is added the inevitable expense attached to a family it is not only probable. but almost certain, that when an officer strikes his balance at the end of the year he will be behind if he has 10 income but his pay. c
 s.That a bachelor officer Is more yal- uable to the service than married officer does not follow, nor do wish to be understood as so saying, but the married officer is less valuable if in marrying he has not exercised that prudence which should govern all transactions in life
 .T am firmly of the opinion that no officer should enter the marriage rela- tion without first getting the authority of the war department, and as neces- sary condition thereto his income after marriage should be sufficient to sup port himself and family. Above all, if he is to live on his pay he should state on honor that he is free from debt"

MORE DRILLING NEEDED.

General Wheeler Says We Must Fol-
 low Europe In Training Soldiers.
 Brigadier General Joseph Wheeler. retired, who attended the military ma neuVers at Manassas, recently ex- pressed the opinion that the maneuvers must not only be continued, but con- ducted on larger and more scientific scale, says a Washington special dis ratch to the New York Times.
 'sThe old school of the army" said General Wheeler, twas the training of the pioneers in the forests of the south and the mountains and plains of the west. Having lost our old school, we must start new one, and we are fol lowing Europe to that extent.
 s'The American, because of the de. struction of his vast forests, is no lon- ger the rifleman he was in the days of Washington, Jackson and up to the civil war He must learn again. We are approaching the condition of Flu rope, where every man has to be taught the use of firearms by the authorities. Maneuvers are necessary. They are the best sort of schooling for officers and men alike.
 Tt is time the United States educat- ed it's troops regularly in the most modern tactics of warfare, and I be- ieve the best way to do this is to drill them in maneuvers. We must have ed ucated soldiers as well as officers to keep pace with other nations.
 'In almost every case where the commanders had had time ine the civil war to maneuver their troops before their battles they won victories. The defeat at Shiloh was due to the un- drilled condition of the troops, the wagon trains and columns becoming irretrievably tangled.
 '"Tho recent maneuvers have been the greatest military school the United States has had since the war with Spain, and I hope that next year they will be held on even larger scale"

The Fall Fever.

Somehow when the fall comes on And the leaves turn and come down, Feel like throwing up my job Feel like getting out of town. Want to ramble in the woods, Want to hear the north wind blow, Want to hear the choppers ax, Want to hear the cattle low, Want to trudge across the field When the night is drawing nigh, To the home from which the smoke Rises to the yellowing sky; Want to sit down by the fire In the evening in the fall,
 While the blazes from the logs Throw their shadows on the wall; Want to lie down in the night, Want to feel that rest of brain That comes only when one hears On the roof the fall of rain;
 Want to go to sleep and rest To the batter that comes down On the shingles in the fall
 Of the old house out of town. Frank H. Brooks in New York Herald

Train catarrh has as yet no name in America or anywhere else, but here is it's christening, says the London Chron- fcle. The present writer has lately spent four nights in sleeping berths on American trains. and he has spent many other nights on continental trains. Always there has resulted the catarrh, produced, one may presume, by changes of temperature and dust. Many travellers have suffered in the same way. What do the doctors say about this form oe disease?

The Eastern War.

The japanese had hoped to capture
Port Arthur last Thursday, it being
the Mikado's birthday. 1t happened
also to be the anniversary of Gar Mich
Olas' coronation, so that the fall of the
great fortress on that date was doubly
desired by the Japanese. While the
Russian garrison has been decimated
by gunfre and disease, the loss III men
as compared with the besieging Japan.
ese, is beyond all modern precedent
1t will probably be years before, if it is
eyer, known how great has been the
Japanese loss before Port Arthur, 1t
has. to date, according to the most re-
liable estimates. been as many as Is. 900
and probably 100000, or from six to
eight times as many besiegers as be-
sieged. Some estimates have made the
ratio very much higher.
The great armies in front of Mukden
are almost entirely inactive, although
a distance of yards, not miles, separate
them. Both are fortifying, and as cold
has set in in Manchuria, winter quar-
tiers are being provided for both armies.
In case activities are maintained, it re-
mains to be seen which will the better
withstand the rigors Of Manchurlan
winter. The Russians would be ex-
pected to endure the cold far better
than the japanese, but as the latter
have proven to be the equal or superior
in so many other respects, it would &C.
casion no great surprise were they to
prove equally good winter campaign
ers. 1t does not seem likely, however,
that with the two armies almost touch
ing each other, many weeks can pass
without another big battle, and it Is
generally thought that the next one
will be decisive.

Week November 14th Blanche Walsh in
her wonderful portrayal of Marova in
RESURRECTION.
Blanche Walsh who has not beer seen up
on the local stage for several years will make
her temperance in Baltimore at this theatre
week of November 18th. as the Russian her
oine in the origina! dramatlza'ion of Toll
stoy's Resurrection"
As this will be the first production here OF
this more or less epoch making play, the
event will be of exceptional importance.
Though there has been several plays pre-
scented under this title, this is the one that
has been the basis for all the comment which
"Resurrecton" has called forth, it was first
presented in Paris then in London and last
~ by Miss Walsh in New York, it proved a
sensation abroad but has enjoyed much
more prosperous career in America, owing
to Miss Walsh's wonderful emotional powers
in the portrayal Of the heroine.
In it she has achieved the most distinct tri.
umph that has been recorded of any actress
on the American stage ia the serious drama
for many years
The stage "Rcsurrection" is not mere
work of art any more than Tolstoy's famous
novel which inspired it was intended as
mere literary effort
In this drama as in all TolstoY's works,
art is made subservient to the teaching of n
lesson to all humanity, 1t is realistic to de-
gree, and its philosophy is deep and impress
sivc.
Miss Walsh has the advantage of an ex-
ccllent company including Alexander Won
Mitzcl Forster Lardner, Charles Macdonald
William Wadsworth. George Mech, Helen
Ware, Jessie Ralph, Agnes Maynard, etc.
The play will be given massive scenic
production as seen $50 nights at the Veto
