KUROPATKIN IS MOVING NORTH
Only q Skeleton Force Left Behind-News
from the Battlefield.

st. Petersburg, Aug ,, 1905 a. NJ
n report from an apparently reliable
source is to the effect that General
kurOpatkins main force had been rap
idly moving north for several days.
According to this report no troops pro
-ceeding to the front from Russia had
gone past Hardin III the past three
days. They will be detrained there
and every available piece Of rolling
stock will be rushed south empty for
and other points to the northward,
leaving Il skeleton force to contest the
japanese advance on vital positions
London. Aug. 2.-The correspondent
of the London Times with General
Kuroki in the field in a dispatch dated
July 81, says: This army began a
general attack at daylight today, which
lasted until sunset. The Japanese CEN
ter took TaOwan. capturing the en-
emy's northeastern positions. The left
advanced and occupied position
jeopardizing the Russian right.
THE Japanese right carried the po-
Sition against superior numbers. There
was tremendous artillery firing
throughout the day, and the infantry
finished with Il brilliant march under
the enemy's shrapnel. l believe that
the Russian position will be untenable
tomorrow"
British correspondents with General
KurOki in the field, in brief dispatches
dated July 81, concur in the statement
that the japanese have carried certain
positions, leaving only one defensible
position between them and Liao-Yang.
There is still no reliable news from
Port Arthur, but The Daily Nails To-
kiO correspondent asserts that the fail
of this fortress is imminent. Similar
reports emanate from Shanghai and
elsewhere.

RIacTS Snakes.

It is true that the rattlesnake and
the black snake are mortal enemies,
and the black snake is the victor in
their battles, breaking the neck Of his
adversary before the RATHER has time to
strike. The black snakes of this coun-
try are as harmless as frogs. On many
Of the large plantations in the south
they are tanned and kept as protection
from their enemy, as the warm climate
prevents keeping the houses closed SO
as to keep them out.

The GuilIotine.

The striking thing about the execu.
ton was the appalling quickness Of It
all. Action was so rapid from the in
slant the condemned appeared in the
doorway Of :hs prison to the moment
the knife fell that it was almost impos-
sible to distinguish the slight chain Of
incidents. He flung himself eagerly
against the plank, was strapped to it,
and in the fash of q glance the plank
was pushed forward on the platform of
the guillotine. An instant's vision of
a recumbent figure, face downward. In
the same moment a head, with two
staring, wide open eyes, whirled almost
defantly, as it seemed, and with a
slight zigzag movement, to the right
ward, while simultaneously the pin
toned body rolled, inert. convulsive,
into the capacious basket, also at the
right hand side of the guillotine. The
swiftness, the mechanical promptness
of the business, fairly stupefed the
spectator 1t was impossible to realize
that a human life had ended in less
time than it would take to draw full
breath. The guillotine had done its
work we'll. There was scarcely a sense

The Tyrant Prfma Donna.

It is the rarest thing to find that any
famous prima donna ever created a
new role of any artistic Importance or
associated herself with the interpreta-
ton of the music Of any young COM
poser, no matter how gifted. Her
choice of songs in the concert room al
ternates between hackneyed favorites
and absolutely worthless novelties.
Alone among the great eXecutants, the
prima donna has been conspicuous for
her abstinence from any efforts to
achieve distinction as a composer.
Handel had a short way with the
prima donna, and threatened to throw
her out Of the window if she would
not sing what he had written for her.
Wagner went further, and refused to
write for the prima donna at all. And
Verdi, in "Falstaff,' did throw her out
of the window and gave the leading
part to a baritone To the music lover
the prima donna is nuisance, and a
very expensive one-"Diversions of a
Music Lover"

All the Bargains Were Gone.

An American of hitherto undoubted
veracity tells this story of restaurant
in Berlin to which he and friend went
one evening: The fare and the music
were SO good and the people about
them so amusing that they fingered on
and On. When at last they rose to go
the Americans hat was not to be
found.
"What sort of hat was it, mein
herr?' inquired the stolid person in
charge.
''It was a new top hat" said the
American briskly.

hats have been gone for half an hourw

The Horse.

The reins may guide the horse, the
bit may inspire him by it's careful ma
nipulation, and the whip may urge him
forward to greater ambition, but the
human voice is far more potent than
all these agencies. It's assuring tones
will more quickly dispel his fright, it's
sharp, clear, electric commands will
more thoroughly arouse his ambition,
and its gentle, kindly praises will more
completely encourage the intelligent
road horse than the united force of the
bit and reins and the lash. No animal
in domestic use more readily responds
to the power of kindness than the road
horse.

The Name of Sally LUnn.

Every one knows what Sally Lunn
is, but few people have any idea how
this particularly nice kind of tea cake
got it's name. Sally Lunn was a Bath
celebrity, who kept cake shop, which
was a favorite resort of both youth
and age in the old west country town.
Sally originally carried out her cakes,
morning and evening, in a basket with
a white cover. Later on her small shop
in Lilliput alley became a favorite
haunt, and Dalmer, baker and must
clan, seeing that it was q very good
thing, bought the business, composed a
song and set it to music. This song
became popular street ditty, barrows
were used to distribute the cakes, and
Dalmer finally retired on the profits OF
the business.
