Gen. Nishi, suddenly made its appear
ance to the northwest of the wester fort
on Etseshan. Mountain artillery, siege
guns and field guns-40 cannon in all
began pouring continuous stream of
iron into the three devoted forts on this
hill-Chair Hill, for that is the signi-
fication of Etseshan. The Chinese de-
Tended themselves stoutly.
The forts on Sungshushan, as we'll as
the coast forts, replied to the Japanese
attack with reverberating volleys from
their large guns. 1t seemed as if the
tremendous uproar would rend the very
heavens. The shells from the various
forts, moreover, inflicted much, damage
on the besiegers, while every shot from
the Japanese side told. After what
seemed about an hour the Chinese fire
slackened, and then ceased altogether.
The Third regiment, who had continued
to advance while the attack was going
on, then scaled the hill from the right
side and rushed with wild cheers on to-
wards the forts, which they carried at
the bayonet's-point. At 1880 a. m. the
First battalion reached the left flank of
the second fort, and carried the place
by storm. Shortly afterwards the Sec
ond and Third battalions followed the
road taken by the First. While this was
being down the forts on Peiyushan and
Sungshushan kept up an incessant fire

shooting down all opposition and en-
gaging in a hand-to-hand encounter.
Veering around the men then stormed
the forts on Hwangkinshan. These were
one and and all occupied shortly after
four p. m. The Mixed brigade had in the
meanwhile carried Laolaitse by assault.
At this moment the strains of military
music were heard coming from the pa
rade and drill ground of one OF the
Chinese army divisions inside the town.
This was soon recognized as the music
of the band belonging to the staff OF the
second army. They were playing the
grandly impressive national anthem OF
Japan; Kimi ga 20. AS the triumphant
music echoed over the hard-fought field,
the Japanese troops gave vent to their
loyal enthusiasm in cheer upon cheer.
With regard to the forts west of HWang-
kinshan, the attack was now suspended,
the short autumn day being at an end.
The First division went into bivouac
just north of the town of Port Arthur,
while the mixed brigade took up posi-
ton on the left. The next day the Japa-
nese troops advanced to attack the re-
naming forts, but found them deserted.

QUEER TASTES OF WOMEN

"The new waiter came to me looking
scared" said the head waiter in Chi
cago restaurant where many working
girls take their luncheon. II got him
from downtown place where men are
served exclusively. The whims of wom-
en- privileged to order their own meals
frightened him.
"'That girl wants powdered sugar
with an order of little necks,' he said,
as though he expected me to fall
at the news.

her plenty of it,

Any of the British officers now on
the road to Lhase who may happen to be
freemasons have, perhaps, just an out
side chance of solving an interesting
question. For there are those who be-
lieve that the high Rosicrucian adopts,
having emigrated to the east about the
beginning of the seventeenth century, still
inhabit the Thibetan plateaux to-day
and some of the mysteries of freemas-
onry have been supposed to have been
acquired from the Rosicrucians. If they
ever existed, the Rosicrucians were a
secret society possessing the art of turn
ing baser metals into gold, and vowed
themselves to gratuitous healing of the
sick. Sceptics, however, maintain that
there never was such a society, but that
it was invented as ponderous joke by
a learned seventeenth century treatise
writer.-London Chronicle.

"Just Folks.O

my boy" said a Texas man to his
son, who was starting out for an eastern
city, "let me tell you something which
may be of help to YOU" His advice was
homely, but good. 'You get up there
and you'll see heap of people who have
got more money than you have-a heap
of people who have got more brains
than you have, and more success. Some
of them may even be better-looking
than you are. Don't you worry about
that, and don't you be scared of any
body. Whenever you meet a man who
allows he's your superior, you just look
at him and say to yourself: After all,
you're just folks You want to remem-
Der for yourself, too, that you're just
folks. After you have lived as long as
I have, and have knocked round the
world, you'll learn that that's all any

on the advancing Japanese. But after
the fall of the third fort, the first and
second were easily taken.
After the land forts had been success
sively captured, an attack was made on
the coast forts, the highest of which
were those on Hwangkinshan. These
contained cannon of very heavy calibre,
easily turned in any direction, whose
range included not only the inland forts,
but even those in the place occupied by
the Japanese artillery.
There was one gun in particular which
had greatly annoyed the besiegers at
long range, throwing shells in the d.
rection of the Etseshan, Erhlungshan
and Sungshushan forts. 1t was thus abb
solutel necessary to attack this high
fort first of all, and in order to carry out
this plan the Second regiment, which

SWEDEN.

An account of the Industries of
Sweden for the year 1902 has ap-
peared in a statistical publication.
Stockholm is the great Industrial
center, contributing one-fourth of
the manufactures produced by the
cities of the country. There were
675 manufacturing establishments,
employing $4,000 persons, and the
value of the products was about $685.
100000. Malmo was the second man
ufacturing city, contributing eleven
per cent of the production. Gothen-
berg, though much larger city and
employing 1000 persons more than
Malmo, contributed only ten per cent
of the aggregate production. In Es-
kilstuna and Tvelleborg every fourth
person was engaged in manufacture
ing pursuits. Tvelleborg deserves a
little extra attention. Of it's 5000 in
habitants, 742 are occupied in % fac
tories, whose aggregate production
averaged $500 for every man, woman
and child in the city. In point of
average production, Tvelleborg beat
Stockholm SIX to one.
Statistical tables prepared a few
days ago show that the number of
marriage licenses granted in Sweden
during the year 1901 was 1928,
while there were only $50 divorces.
A. J. Erickson, an engineer en-
ployed by the Separator Manufacture
ing company, Stockholm, has invent+
ed new separator which has been
called the mud separator 1t is
made to remove solid particles from
fluids. 1t is not expected to be of
much use in the dairy industry, but
the inventor thinks it will be of some
service in sugar manufacturing and
in gold washing.

:GOSSLP FROM:
+: SCANDINAVIA:

The traffic between Sweden and
Germany is being gradually shifted
from the Tvelleborg and Sossnitz
steamship line to the Gedser and
Waremunde car ferry line. This
change is of great Importance to
Denmark and Sweden. The Tvelle-
borg and Sossnitz line was estab-
lished few years ago to give Swe-
den direct line to Germany, thus
avoiding Denmark altogether. But
the Danes devised new move. BY
placing car ferries on line between
Gedser, Denmark, and Warnemunde,
Germany, they made it possible to
go from Sweden to Germany without
staying on the sea more than little
over two hours. This chance ap-
pealed strongly to the land-lubbers
and the direct line is losing and the
Danish line gaining all the time. The
Tvelleborg line is indeed sinking into
innocuous desuetude so rapidly that
even it's stanchest friends admit
that it may have to be discontinued.
