JAP POSITION SECURE
Mikado Believes Russian Invasion o.
Korea Is ImDracticable.

Korea is InDracticable.
Toxic, Feb. 27.-It is believed by
the mikado and his military chiefs
that Japan's land campaign is now SO
far developed that a Russian invasion
Of Korea practically is impossible.
This state of things, it is said, can
be changed only by disastrous Japan
csc reverses in Manchuria. ...
The strength of the nikado's posi-
ton in Korea, is due to the fact that
the roads south of the Yalu are held
by his army, while large forces are
ready to fall on both TANKS of the:
Russians should the czar's troops be-
gin to advance on a grand scale.
Having the enemy thus strateget1c-
ally stereotyped the japanese intend
to begin offensive operations the mo-
ment the weather, the roads, the har-
bors and other factors thoroly are fav-
orable. .%,~s 49, So - - ~ -
Caution is the keynote OF the Jap
anese military policy in the present
struggle. The government is aware
that an exceedingly grave situation
might follow disasters in the field. NO
one can foretell the time this war may
last, and in the course of six months
or year Japan may have need of the
confidence Of the great financial COM
munities of the world.

Warships usually take up position
at distances Of from LOO yards to
1900 yards from the shore In making
their attack. They regulate their
fire with great difficulty in any kind
Of sea.
The Straits of Pe-chi-i are not
famed for their calmness, so, while
the fire from the Japanese fleet might
be powerful, it would be scattered

PARASOL FOR DEFENSE.
London Women of the Upper Tendon
Are Learning Protection
Against Rufsiians.

For some reason thee has been a
great increase of late in what London
folk call 'hooliganism." The riotous
street demonstrations on 'Mafeking
night" and in celebration of the close
Of the Boer war, taught the stream of
toughs who poured out from White
chapel into the West END that the re-
nowned London bobby" could not be
everywhere at once, and that with a
ratio of 20 hooligans to one bobby
quite bit of lawbreaking might be
done in more safety than had been sup
posed.
Since then a number of solitary way
farers have been attacked and robbed,
and two or three have been murdered
all of which was most disconcerting to
the Independent English woman, who
has taken to going on bicycle rides into
the country by herself, and to walking
about the city streets in the daytime
without the chaperone who was con-
sidSred so necessary a few years ago.
Lady Jeune had her purse wrenched
from her recently by a hooligan in the
fashionable Kensington district of Lon
don, and Lady Mary Sackville was
robbed of her bag and chatelaine not
long ago by rough who struck her
and decamped. Many other attacks of
the sort have been made on less famous
folk.
In consequence of this state of affairs
1t occurred to a young French woman,
the wife of the famous French swords
man, Pierre Vigny, to undertake the in
struction of Englishwomen in the art of
self-defense with parasol or walking
stick, according to a system devised by
her gallant husband who has devoted
years to its perfection. 1t may best be
described as mixture of the various
different methods of self-defense, prac-
ticed in England, France, Germany and
Japan. Many of the passes, thrusts and

simple. Half a dozen threads of flo
are employed for the satin stitch which
is ingeniously adapted to the render
ing of leaves and flowers, while the
stalks and finer details are worked out
in one or two strands. One advantage
of this work is that no frame is re-
quired while the patterns may be car
ried out in washing silk upon linen in
tended for table covers, dresser scarfs
and any of the many accessories of this
sort for table and boudoir.
An exceedingly effective example of
this work is the table cover of which
corner is here illustrated. Its grace
full ribbon-tied festoons of diminutive
blossoms, in tones of rose, soft, faint
blues and yellows with here and there
a touch of purple or orange, are charm
ingly blended with the green's of the
foliage. By clever arrangement of
stitches, the characteristics of the flow
er forms are indicated, especially in
the roses, in which, touched in with
three shades of rose color, the satin
stitches are worked horizontally and
overlapping one another here and there
indicate the little crumplings of the
folded petals. A couple of stitches are
all that is necessary to indicate each of
the delicate green leaves in the sprays
of foliage. 1t is this that constitutes
one of the charms of the work that,
while by no means difficult to carry out,
it affords so much opportunity for light
ness and variety of touch. Edged with
French lace, such cover is especially
adapted for the five o'clock tea table
with its equipment Of glistening silver
and dainty china. Another design that
may be successfully carried out on fine
white linen shows pink roses incased
within an empire frame of laurel leaves

WINDOWS OF THE SOUL.
Eyes Have Always Been Recognized
the Mirrors of the Char
acter Beneath.

The most important of all physical
faculties is sight. The eyes, the win
dow of the soul, are the chief avenue of
communication between the inner ma
ture and the external world. Therefore,
they should be carefully guarded. How
ever trying other physical disadvantages
must be, such as premature wrinkles,
badness or loss of teeth, yet, compared
with the great calamity of failing eye
sight, they are featherweights in the
balance. Science can help us success
fully hide the loss Of our hair and
teeth, and if powerless to hide the wrin-
kles, at any rate aids us to bear them
with philosophy. But the veriest sus-
picio nof failing eyesight is quite suf-
ficient to bring terror to the bravest
soul. Our vision is as precious to us as
life itself. Our intellectual enjoyments,
our outlook on Gods beautiful world
nay, in most cases, our very bread and
butter-depend on the clearness of our
eyesight. There is no possession more
coveted by women than a pair of beau
tiful eyes. Yet the owner of the ugliest
or most repelling eyes imaginable is
more to be envied If she can lay claim to
better vision. The eyes which possess
clear sight, whatever their color may
be, are verify the windows of the soul.
What instructive confidence we place in
a frank, sincere gaze! We feel that
those eyes which spell goodness, and
even holiness of life in every glance,
are the faithful mirrors of the charac-
ter beneath. In the same way all the
great generals or leaders of men have
possessed in a prominent degree the
calm magnetism of eye, sure symbol Of
the iron will Of their owner Great or
ators have swayed vast audiences quite
as much by the fairy magnetism of the
eye as by the golden harmony of Ian
guage.-N. Y. Weekly.

The use of the corset is to transmit
the pressure of the skirt bands to the
hips and the ribs, and so to protect
from their pressure the organs in the
region Of the waist. The conclusion Is
that SO long as skirt bands are fas-
tened round the waist corsets should
be worn. They should be sitter than
made if they are effectively to
protect the soft middle portion of the
body from the pressure of the waist
band. The front should be quite

Group, capillary bronchitis and ar

from catching cold.
One child catches cold and scares it's

Another child catches cold, develops a
