OPENING LEAVES From winter harshness. Nature Seems
 to turn To us her good side; With shad-bush blossoms piled in
 snowy heaps Along the wOod-side. Swamp naples fling. their flaming bar
 ners out. For biIth. for dying. The Towering dogwood's painted leaves about. Their pennons flying. The poplar and the birch in living green, And, swothed in yellow, The sugar-maple's baby leaves raise
 hands; The air is mellow. And blue. as if the mist Of opening
 sprays Afar had tinted The dreamy light, where birds have
 glancing played And waters glinted. Some phase Of Nature is, despite our
 fall, Ayiew of glory. But mans depreciation spells it all, And spells my story. For when by silence the Creator speaks In pleasing voices; We turn away. and in the discord joy Of human noises.

PORT ARTHUR BEFORE THE wAH

PORT ARTHUR BEFORE THE WAR
 Tho point that was most noticeable
 about Port Arthur was the cramped- l ness of the harbor. The bay is shallow except for a narrow length close behind forms an anchorage reserved for the fleets. At this time there were only two cruisers and about six torpedo
 boats at anchor there; but when the whole fleet was at it's moorings they seemed to be almost touching. The anchorage for merchant vessels was
 close to the quay and opposite the en-

 The second thing that was strange was 1 the great number of women in Port Arthur. We had heard some days be-
 fore that all officers wives had been ordered to Europe; vet here the order did not apply, or was disregarded
 Officers were to be seen at all hours driving about with their wives in Rus
 sian droshlies. as if war and sudden
 death were as far off as the moon.
 1 On the afternoon of the Sth we called
 on Russian general. The only news he had was that there was no war: and
 this he persisted in, though even to our knowledge the Japanese minister had
 left St Peterburag two days before That evening we slept on board the Wenchow. and all the harbor lights were lit as usual. Next morning the captain of the ship told us he had
 heard firing about 1:30 A. NJ. though personally I heard nothing. We knew afterwards that one or more Japanese torpedo boats had got amongst the
 Russian fleet that was lying at anchor outside the harbor. The result we lcould see in the morning; two Russian lbattleships the Retyizan and the Ces- Iarevitch. were aground in the narrow mouth of the harbor about 300 yards off our ship. Soon after nine o'clock landed, and turning to the right
 walked round the edge of the East
 Port. In it were four merchant shirs, including one huge Russian ship and

HOW DIR. BACON SETTLED HIM.
