w~ashington's Personal Appearance.

Washington's personal appearance
was very striking. He was a tall
man, standing six feet two ;Hcnes in
his boots. MY stature is six feet; 9TH
erwise rather slender than %corpulent,"
is the way the Father of His Country
described himself to a London tailor.
He limped almost imperceptibly in the
left leg; this was the result Of striking
his knee against a tree in the cam
paign Of rs. His eyes were blush
gray in color, but very bright M ex-
pressive. His mouth was his strong
feature, the lips being always tightly
compressed. His hair was q chestnut
brown, and curly. His cheeks were
prominent, and generally pale, with
Just a tinge Of color high up Oh the
cheek bones. His face showed the
marks of the smallpox, with which he
was stricken during his trip to the Ba-
hamas in 1851. His chin was firm, his
nose s%traightand long; his eyes, widely
separated, were o%verhung by a heavy
brow. His teeth were nearly all de-
receive or IafSe.
Washington's head was not large,
compared with every other part Of his
body, which semeed big and bony. His
finger joints and wrists were so large
as to be genuine curiosities. His hands
were so long and broad that he could
not buy a covering to fit him, and had
to have his gloves made to order. His
boots were enormous. They were No.
13, and their combined weight with
spurs attached was twenty-one pounds.
His arms and legs were so long as they
were large. Muscular, wide-shouldered
and always athletic, he weighed IT'S
pounds when he took his seat in the
House of BurgeSses in 1859, and tipped
the scales at 30 pounds shortly before
he died.

st. Petersburg, Russia.-An action Of
no mean proportions was reported in
progress on the Russian left flank.
The advantage seemed to be on the
side of the japanese, though at heavy
cost. From advices from the front it
is difficult to say how severe the losses
have been or how decisive the reverse,
and whether the Japanese are likely to
attempt to drive in the Russian left
much further.
General KurOpatkin evidently has
been trying to establish his left flank
far in advance to command the cross
ings of the Taitse River, the operation
being a counterpart of General Grip
enberg's movement on the right flank
to secure the fords of the Hun River
preparatory to the breaking up of the
Ice in the spring.
The scene of the operations is fifty
miles southeast of Mukden, beyond Ia
Pass, an important defile commanding
the road to Fushun. Both armies oc-
cupying apparently im~pregnable posi-
tons on the centre, General Kuropat.
kin evidently planned to inaugurate
widely sweeping operations on both
TANKS, but the japanese countered
hard.
Dispatches from the front Indicate
that the weather is fine and favorable
for operations, and that all is quiet on
the Russian right wing.
According to a V~ladivostok dispatch
to the Associated Press, the entrance
to that harbor is open, and the squad
ron, which is %seaworthy, is apparently
taking no risks, but is saving its
strength for cooperation with Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron.

THE OIL INVESTIGATIONS.
Stocks Affected Through Friction and
Disgusting Influences.

New York City.-The weeks devel-
opments in the Kansas oil fields in To-
peka and the action of the Federal
Government in starting an inyestiga-
ton of Standard Oil methods reflect
the drift of public opinion toward
other evils of corporate or trust man
agement. A remedy is demanded and
the demand must be satisfied.
The combination of urgent demand
for changes in the methods of trust
management and of a general admis-
sion that railroad rate legislation
should be enacted, looms up as a men
ace to stable stock market quotations.
There will be friction, unrest and per-
haps disturbance pending reforms
which, when accomplished, surely will
work great good.

The Hope of Misfortune.

Paln is a soul tonic. Sorrow often brings out the best there is In Us. Hap. piness does not develop charTter. It gives 1t surface brightness and decks It with prismatic bubbles. It takes the deep reaching arm of misfortune to trouble the depths and bring out the pearls that lie there. The most mag netIc faces are lined by thought and noble care. Strong. unsc!ish love, even If misplaced and mnpproci0tcd, en nobles the lover. Ii is the frivolous vanity born emotions that fritter away character and make faces Insignificant To fall In high aim after earnest and honest effort is not failure. The gain It brings in strength and discipline will appear in other directions. Misfortune has often in the history of the world been the means of making a poet, ora tor, phllanthropist, scientist or states man out of d person whose career but for the misfortune or physical disabill ty would have been commonplace and influence limited.-NeJical Talk.

The Cl,HuinE,

The "gloammg" i5 by origin akin to gloom.
