CORRUPTION OF RUSSIANS.
Responsible in the Main for Over.
whelming Defeat on the
Sea of Japan.

The report Of Admiral Rojestvensky
to the czar on the ha&le Of Tsushima,
which has hitherto been suppressed,
has at last leaked out. and is very
sad document for all friends Of Russia,
says the London Spectator. The ad-
miral attributes his defeat to the con-
dition of his squadrcns. due to the dis
honesty of the builders, to the incapa-
city of his crews, and the spirit OF
mutiny among the seamen. In illus
tration OF the first point, he afflrms
that on none Of the vessels did the ar
morplating correspond to the official
figures, while Of the shells two-thirds
would not explode. The second source
Of failure was so bad that two-thirds
of the crews were incapable Of per-
forming the duties required Of them.
As to the third cause Of defeat, the ad
miral had to quiet mutiny off NADIA
gascar by IA executions, and in Ad-
miral Nebogatoffs squadron the mutt
neers nearly became masters.
His own squadruns. indeed. had
agreed. when off Madagascar, TO deliv-
er themselves up to the Japanese, and
in the battle of Tsushima Admiral Ne
bogatoff's men seem to have hesitated
to fire, while the zen Of the united
squadrons. after Rojestvensky had re-
ceived his wound ana Nebogatoff had
taken command. refused to fight. No
such record has ever been written of
the condition of a feet, and 1t suggests
a degree of corruption. tyranny and
incapacity In the naval administration
Of Russia which is almost incredible.
The taint thus officially admitted is
indeed so deep and so widespread that
it is hardly possible, in spite Of the
splendid self-sacritics shown in many
battles, to believe that the military ad-
ministration has entirely escaped the
infection. The whole system Of ma
tional defense must have begun to rot
before such evils could have grown

SMOKING WITH A HOLDER.
Why Smokers Use the Mouthpiece
on Cigars as Much
as Ever.

"You may not see used as many fancy
cigar holders Of meerschaum and Of
amber as you once did" said the cigar
man, but we still sell them, and OF
cigar holders all told, including holders
designed solely for utility and comfort,
as those Of weichsel, we sell as many as
ever. The great majority Of cigar smok-
srs, to be sure, hold a cigar in their
teeth. but considerable number of
smokers always use holder, for which
practice they may have various reasons,
some of sanitary nature.
"One man may use holder to avoid
burning his mustache. Another man
may use one because the burning end
Of the cigar is farther away and so. he
gets cooler smoke. Some men use a
holder when playing cards. because in a
holder he can lay cigar down without
burning the table and without scatter.

Portable way for a man to smoke cigar
while reading.
II think II you were to observe the
men you meet in the street smoking
cigars in cigar holders you would find
them to be mostly men OF middle age or
thereabouts. whom you would never
find smoking violently; and I think II
you could know their smoking habits
that you would find these smokers to be,
while moderate and temperate In their
manner Of smoking. pretty steady smok-
ers. who use a cigar holder to minimize
the danger Of smoking and to enhance

never remember a time when there was
quite so much hand woTk-such intricate
work on gowns as there Is now, or, for that
matter, time when good workers we're
more scarce.
There Is never a plethora in the market
Of experienced dressmakers' hands Cen
orally speaking, il a young woman who
has worked for a dressmaker Is idle it Is
because she is thoroughly incompetent.
But in spite Of the bigger wages they
oan earn at dressmaking many OF the
girls know have left this and other estab-
lishmentS TO take up StenOgraphy OF type
writing, and even 70 go into stores at much
less wages. Sewing Is monotonous work
and confirming, and there is no chance in a
dressmaker's workroom OF meeting the
other sex.
sWhen it comes TO filters there has been
even more Of a jump up in their wages.
In the old days, for example, S25 a week
was good pay for a first class filter, who,
az a rule, was also wiling 10 plan her waist
trimming and seldom asked for a yearly
contract II IL not like that now.
"A yearly contract IL insisted upon in

maker, and the filters know IT, They know

in dull season az well as busy season.
Il pay my filter 500 a week the year around
to do cutting and fitting only. She has

not because we coin money by the sale Of
foreign made gowns. So far from doing
that. we arc generally obliged TO sell many
of them away below cost IL we sell them
at all. Some people forget that there are
two sides TO every story.
ANY one who will take the trouble TO
stop and figure out the problem will find
by taking into consideration the expert
help at greatly increased wages required
to make an up to date gown, the fact that
the 1905 gown repre- sents about double the
work as well as double the material Of
some old time models and the increased
cost Of maintaining an establishment that
