TO SIGN THE ARMIST|CE,
PEACE WAY is PAVED

Washington, June 19.-Alone on the
plains Of Manchuria, midway between
the two great armies, the Russian
and Japanese commanders will meet
to sign the armistice which will pave
the way for the Washington confer
ence IL the present tentative program
is followed. Exchanges on this point
are now in progress between Toxic
and st. Petersburg via Washington,
but no final conclusion has been
reached. 1t was first thought pre-
liminary protocol might be signed at
Washington providing for temper
airy cessation Of hostilities, but in
view Of the fact that this concerns d.
rectly the armies in the field 1t 10 be-
lieved that the belligerents will agree
that the arrangements of the arms
tics would be best entrusted to Line
witch and Oyama, the respective com
manders in chief, who in such event
would be telegraphed special powers
to sign. The time limit for the armis-
tice has not been fixed. but it will be
comparatively brief, that the pro-
gress of the conference may be as
sisted as much as possible.
Prior to the signing Of the armis-
tice, however, will come the official
announcement of the Russian and
japanese plenipotentiaries. Russia
has indicated that her mission will be
headed by M. Nelidoff, the Russian
ambassador to Paris, and it is under
stood that the emperor has request

has suggested the names of the other
plenipotentiaries, nor has the number

belief tonight is that there will be
three on side.

come one of the other great states

Another important detail which has
been the subject of informal CONVEX
sations at the White House, is the
language to be used at the conference,
Russia will ask that the French Ian
guage be used; Japan will express a
preference for English, and in recog-

that the English language, If not &C.

DEATH LIST REACHES %.
All Victims of Western Maryland
Wreck Were Railway Employees.


Baltimore June 20.-The death roll
of last nights disaster on the West
ern Maryland railroad now foots up
twenty-three and this number is like
ly to be increased from among the
list of those previously mangled.
All the dead were employees Of the
railroad returning to their homes in
the small towns along the railroad to
spend Sunday. With the exception
of the train crews they had been at
work repairing the damage done to
the roadbed ten days ago by minor
freight wreck at Mount Hope station,
near this city. The train, which was
No. s. passenger, westbound, carried
a large number Of passengers, all the
coaches being filled. AS many Of the
workmen as could do so went into the
baggage car, the remainder of the
gang of thirty-fve finding places on
the platforms between the mail and
baggage cars ana between the latter
and the tender.
In the neighborhood Of Patapsco
station, about eight miles from Win
chester, the Western Maryland has
many curves and that just west Of
the bridge crossing the Patapsco
river is a sharp one.
The extra freight, made up Of heavy
coal and provision cars, was running

Young Lady Left by Fever in Very Weak

After fever, such as typhoid or scar

will most rapidly increase the red cor

typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages. When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex.
cept to build up her strength, which was
very feeble, and he gave her some pre-
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how.
ever, she met with disappointment.
II took the DOCTORS tonics, "she says,
"for two months after I had recovered
from the fever, but they did not do me
the good looked for. My strength came
back so slowly that I scarcely seemed to
be making any progress at all. Just
then I read in book thrown in our
yard some striking testimonials showing
what wonderful blood-builders and
strength-givers DR.. Williams Pink Pills
are. I got a box Of them soon after
this and after I had taken only about
half of them could see very great inn
provement in my condition. When I
had used up two boxes, I felt that I did
not need any more medicine. I have
remained strong ever since"

BIRTHPLACE OF MASSAGE.
There Is Little Water in Nubia, So
the People Resort to Oils and

The masseur had just returned from
Nubia, the birthplace of massage.
II didn't learn as much as | ex-
pected to-" he said, 'but got hold Of
two movements that will eradicate
wrinkles and remove fat in an in
credible way.
"Nubia Is a queer place. They have
so little water there that they never
take baths. The 'masseh' or kneading
baths substitute. You strip, lie down.
and are covered from head to foot
with a cream made of mutton fat,
musk, sandal-wood powder and certain
plant juices. Then you are kneaded,
you are massaged. studied the
Nubian movements thoroughly, and
learned. as say. two good things.
'The Nubians are handsome and
queer race. They hunt elephants with
the sword. A hunter steals upon a
doing elephant, and slashes him In
the back of the leg, ten inches above
the hoof. This cut sewers the artery,
and the elephants bleeds to death.
They cook meat on hot stones.
First they build fire, then they put
big stones on it, and. when the stones
are hot enough, they clean them OF
ashes and embers carefully, and
throw on the meat. This is better
way of cooking than the broil, for it
preserves all the meat juices. But
greenhorns don't know what kind OF
stones to use. Most kinds, heated, ex.
plode.
The Nubians are shapely and hand
some. They never wrinkle; they never
get fat; their skins are smooth and
fine. They impute these graces to the
'masseh, the massage, that they take
regularly thee or four times week.
Every masseur ought to so to Nu-
bia if he wants to learn his business
thoroughly"

COLLEGE GIRL AS MOTHER
Collection of Baby Pictures Shows
Conclusive Evidence Of
Fitness.

An instructor at Vassar college has an
odd and interesting collection of photo
graphs-th photographs of the babies
of young women who are college gradu-
ates, says an exchange, are strong and
beautiful. They number over 300. The
instructor said of them:

children of female A. BIS and A. M. s
because had heard SO much talk about
the higher education uniting woman
for her natural sphere, and so on.

Gated women don't weaken themselves
with tight corsets, with overmuch dane

their minds are developed.

dom and strength. and the result is that
their babies are the biggest, strongest

Size of Crops.

Size Of Crops.
Farmers are often in doubt whether
an exceptionally large yield of any
thing resulting in low prices, is as adj
vantageous to them as short crop
at high prices. The consumer of -four
or fruits or cotton goods who has to
pay higher prices when there is a
shortage has no doubt where his in
terest lies. The farmer, says Youths
Companion, sometimes overlooks the
effect of short supply and high
price in stimulating competition which
may prove permanent. When cotton
is reasonable in price. the Lancashire
spinners are content to rely on this
country for it, but ifsunder scarcity or
speculation they are compelled to pay
too much, they begin to look for other
sources of supply. Every year of high
Prices greatly stimulates this search.
The higher wheat goes in Liverpool
the fartheresettlers will be pushed into
the interior of Argentina and Sas-
katchewan to raise 1t. The farmer
everywhere decides by its average re-
turn how many acres to lay down to
any particular crop. He cannot take
advantage of speculative conditions,
but must plan on averages. When
meat was so high in the United States
a few years ago, certain beef packers,
who had built UP trade abroad, car
ried on business there at loss. They
had spent thousands of dollars to gain
customers who, they believed, would
be lost by an advance of prices. The
big crop, at fair price, is better all
around in the long run, in spite Of the
temptation to desire the exceptional
returns which may result from
scarcity.

The Potato Yield.

How many bushels an acre does your
potato field -ield? There are acres
in the United States from which 400
bushels have been taken in a single
season, and other acres produce only
20 bushels. What makes the differ
ence? Part of it is due to soil and
weather, but the rest is difference in
fertilization and cultivation. In
Maine, where the average yield was
215 bushels an acre last year, the farm
ers put about a ton of phosphate on
each acre. 1t costs them about $35,
but they more than get it back in the
Increased yield. Colorado comes next
to Maine in the yield, with 159 bushels
an acre, but there are % states and
territories which yielo less than 100
bushels an acre.

Spectacles, according to an oculist,
often increase the eye trouble they
are meant to correct because they are
improperly used. 'The man who
needs glasses to read by, but not to see
at distance. often puts them on in
q street car or similar place." says
this oculist, "and then when he looks
UP still uses them for looking at
things little way OFF. This gradually
changes the focus of the eye, SO that
he comes finally to see better with
them than without them. Then he
needs stronger glasses to read with
and the trouble gets worse and worse.
One way to avoid this is to wear the
reading glasses SO low on the nose
that they may be looked over instead
