Rojestvensky and Nebogatoff and the
dispatches wired from Paris to the
effect that they left French waters at
the request of the French authorities
are not credited here. That they joined
in French waters is certain, and that
they are still there is likewise pala-
BILE fact. That they are to move north
ward may so, but it is not because
France demands it, but rather because
the Russian commanders feel that the
item has come. to risk, everything on
a desperate move, and the naval ex-
perts here believe now that a naval
battle will soon be inevitable.
Rojestvensky has remained in French
waters because he entertained hopes
he could lure Togo far from his base
and thus throw the balance in favor of
the Russians. Apparently now he de-
spairs of accomplishing this and has
determined to move boldly north and
give battle at any place, whether it be
off the coast of Luzon, in the straits of
Formosa OF even in the open Pacific
ocean.

on one Of these animals.
Il was hunting ostriches," he says.
"At bend in the ravine the bird dis

when by the merest chance l looked
behind me and, to my surprise and
horror, saw that large lion was not
only 70 yards behind me and evidently
stalking me as carefully as 1 had been

as could assume 1 sat down on the
edge Of the precipice, ever and anon
taking careful glance behind me to
see where my fee was. About 20 rods
behind me were few ragged bushes.
Behind these the lion had taken shelter
and was keeping a careful scrutiny
upon my every movement. Darkness
was rapidly coming on, when slipped
from my seat and dropped down to the
ledge. Instantly slipped of my coat
and hung 1t on the muzzle Of my mus
ket and showed it up over the upper
ledge where I had SO lately been sit

my coat was torn away and my gun
hurled to the bottom Of the gully. But
they did not 60 alone. No; my assail-
ant was with them, and there he re-
manned all night, grumbling over his
disappointment at not having me for

ant had smashed his foreleg in the fall.
The musket was not much injured and

when suddenly about twenty rods
ahead of me little girl not more than
s years old toddled onto the track. You
can't even imagine my feelings. There
was no way to save her. 1t was im-
possible to stop, or even slack much,
at that distance, as the train was
heavy and the grade descending. In
ten seconds it would have been all
over, and after reversing and applying
the brake I shut my eyes. didn't
want to see any more.
"As we slowed down my fireman
stuck his head out Of the cab window
to see what I'd stopped for, when he
laughed and shouted at me: Jim, look
herev 1 looked, and there was big
black Newfoundland dog, leisurely
walking toward the house where she
evidently belonged. She was kicking

laughing, but I cried like woman.

jap Maids Revenge,

When a japanese maid is Tilted by
her lover she takes peculiar and pic-
turesque revenge. No longer doubt
ing his faithlessness, she gets up in the
middle Of the night and puts on a
pleasing dress and wooden sandals.
Attached to her headdress she carries
three lighted candles, and suspended to
her neck hangs small mirror.
She takes in her left hand a small
straw efigy of the faithless one, and
in her right hammer and nails.
Walking gravely to the sanctuary, she
selects one of the sacred trees, and
nails the efi1gy securely to the trunk.
She then prays for the death of the
traitor, vowing thst II her wish In
granted she viii take out the nails
which trouble her god, since they are
fastened to a sacred tree. Night after
night she comes to the tree, adding one
or two nails and repeating her prayers.

CAPE COD FISHERMEN LUCKY.

An Inexhaustib1s Supply of Quaho,l
L. Discovered by Them.
Because two fishermen seeking qua.
hogs lost their bearings in fog the
towns Of Orleans, Wellfleet and East
ham are made richer each year to the
extent of more than $4,000.
For years the fishermen sought qua
hogs only when there was nothing
else to do. Two brothers pushed off
the Orleans shore bent on getting as
many quahogs as possible, seeing In
this the only way to avoid disappoint-
ment to the loved ones at home.
The men became lost in the fog,
and in despair threw over the anchor
They knew by the depth that they
were far from where they usually
fished.
In desperation one threw over the
rake, and when it came up it con-
tanned more than the men had ever
taken in by one raking. Time and
again this was repeated until before
night the boat was filled. As the fog
cleared they made for home, having
first taken their bearings.
When the men landed they told their
fellow fishermen Of their luck, and to-
day 100 boats, carrying nearly 300
men, are daily employed on these
grounds, which seem to have an in
exhaustible supply.
The bed runs parallel with the shore
line of Orleans, Eastman and Well
fleet and Is a mile and a half. from
shore. 1t is two miles long by a mile
wide. On an average the men take
three or four barrels a day. This
could be exceeded, but restrictions
have been imposed by the towns off,
Gals.
The bottom is covered with a sub
stance not unlike red coral, and under
this the Quahogs lie. To take them
the coral substance must be broken,
which is the hard work about the
business.
All Of the catch of the summer Is not
marketed at once, but a good portion
Is bedded on flats near the shore and
kept until winter, when better prices
can be obtained.-Boston Globe.

Special dispatches from Toxic to
the London newspapers represent that
the Japanese feeling is becoming
highly inflamed at Frances alleged
failure to prevent DESTINATIONS disre-
gard for the principle of neutrality by
the Russian Pacific squadron. The
Toxic Asahi bluntly describes the
French assurances that they would
preserve neutrality as ralsehoods, and
declares that Japan would be justified
in bombarding French territory, and
calls upon the government to take
vigorous action.
Among Japanese officials in London
1t Is assumed that France put off JAP
an by fair promises in order to give
Rojestvensky time to effect juncture
of his forces and that the Russians are
now given every privilege, providing
they keep just outside the three mile
limit.
The Daily Telegraph's correspond

Japan's second protest France init
mated that Rojestvensky had been or
dered to leave Hongkong.

The Times correspondent at Toxic

editorial warning France of the ex.

the SABLE HOLIDAY.

The sable and seal hunts each be-
gin a new year in the calendar of the
Gilyaks, who live on Sakhalin island,
on the Straits Of Tartary. These two
years, which begin in October and
April, are called the winter year and
the summer year. and are opened by
holiday festivals. The sable holiday
goes by the name OF 1.-The prayer to
the lord Of the forest" Mr.. Halves.
in his book entitled "In the Uttermost
East" describes 1t.
1t Is wintry scene. The snares are
set on logs and branches which span
the narrow streams and creeks. The
first SHOWS have fallen. The trees
stand silent in the somber depths,
hanging their hoary, lichen-covered
branches.
Amidst the hush a shadow steals
quietly across the scene. 1t is a sable.
He goes by accustomed paths. He
does not care to swim the cold water.
but seeks a fallen tree or log whereon
to pass. All unsuspectingly he creeps
along a trunk, only to find his way
blocked by a tiny barrier Of sticks,
arranged In the shape Of fan; new
ertheless, a way, one way, is left and
that through a loop in the center.
Rising on his hind legs and pushing
through he struggles. and in so doing
releases a peg hitched with a ratchet,
and a bent twig at one Of the cords
flies back and tightens the moose.
Many crackers are out, but each

dertone. lest the evil spirits should

the swamps and the depths Of the for
est, and might make off with them.
For this reason, and because Pal nj
rookh generally walks among the
mountains, the Gilyaks take the pre-
caution of making their offering on
high ground.
When the hunting season is ad-
vanced, the snare is abandoned and an
other method for the capture of the
sable is adopted. The native sets out
with his dogs, who quickly find the
tracks of the little animal, and drive
| 1t up a tree. The hunter then lets
fly a blunt arrow and, II skilful, stuns
his prey. With fair success he may
thus take seven or eight sables In a
day.

all the gold and precious Jewels Of the
Mexican monarch, says the Mexican
Herald. The story is that the incas
treasure, withheld from Pizarro and
now discovered in Bolivia, is worth
Sic. 100000 and that the Indians be-
lieve there 10 still much more hidden
away. Pizarro received a great sum
from the inca whom he 30 cruelty
treated and then killed, but in SO do
ing he missed greater amount, which
the inca. hoping to save his life, prom
ised his tormentor.
In this country one sometimes hears
talk of great golden sun and other
treasure hidden securely from the
early Spanairds. One gentleman who
has the blood Of Montezuma In his
veins and in whose family the tradi-
lions of the times Of the conquest have
been preserved, has said that probably
fully $80.000,O0O worth Of treasure es-
capped the hands of Cortez and his
followers. Where Is this treasure hid

the Podregal, near Coyoacan, on a spot
indicated by tradition. A series Of

no golden sun.
Both In Mexico and Peru gold was
hidden away from the greedy conquis-
tadores by the Indians, who cherished
the hope of making successful rising
against their conquerors. That hope
has long died away. though much Of
the hatred for the race of the con-
| Quistadores remains in the breast Of
the aborigines.
1t is quite probable that some fine
day much Of Montezuma's hidden
treasure may be found here by a lucky
hit. Perhaps it is concealed In an
idol cave in the southwestern part Of
the sierra surrounding this valley. N

treasure. which remains untouched
