PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Expected Big Land Battle Failed to
Occur


Contrary to expectations, the en-
gagement of land forces in Manchuria
did not bring as important results last
week as was expected. 1t was believ-
ed last Sunday that great battle
was imminent. Field Marshal Oyama,
after long period of preparations,
was prepared to renew the aggressive
movement that had been suspended
shortly after the battle at Mukden.
General Linevitch, with old troops
rested and many new troops added to
his fighting force, was prepared for
the attack, and the general expecta-
ton was that conflict similar to that
at Liaoyang and Mukden was at hand.
The developments of the week did
not sustain the predictions. There was
fighting, but no important results
have followed, SO far as the outside
world is able to Judge. 1t was re-
ported that Oyama had advanced from
right, left and center, but which
movement was a feint and which was
merely a demonstration could not be
determined. The advance Of the jap
anese was promptly met by the Rus
slams and there were several minor
engagements of a more or less san
culinary character. News came that
a small detachment of Japanese had
swung around to the Russian rear and
there was report, afterward denied,
that Vladivostock had been cut off
Rennenkampf. who had been doing
brilliant cavalry service for the Rus
slams, made an expedition around
Oyama's left, but seems to have been
nothing more than reconnaissance
that resulted in considerable losses.
Saturday it was announced that 6
pause seems to have occurred in the
land operations, the idea being, seem
ingly, to suspend the aggressive move
ment until the sea fight had takeI
place and there were assurances tina
communications between Japan ant
the mainland would not be interrupt
ed. Apparently, the Japanese were
yielding at certain points, but ther'
was evidently an attempt at a turn
| ing movement on the Russian left will
a view to shielding Kawamura's effor
to advance on the extreme east ant
cut toward Vladivostock. Both side
are doubtless ready for titanic strug
gle, but it is not likely to take plac
until the mastery of the sea has beel
decided.

HOW TO COOK MEAT.
Oven Rulss Determined By ecisnt11o
Investigation.

Oven Rules Determined By ecasntaAo
Investigation.
The cook book compilers have
adopted certain empirical laws regu-
lating the cooking Of meat bnt ~
these are largely the result Of casual
observation, they do not accurately
represent the facts, says the Philadel-
phia Record For several years the
University Of Illinois, working In CO
operation with the State experiment
station, has been studying the question
Of losses in cooking different kinds
and cuts Of meat, consequent changes
in its nutritive value, the developments
Of flavor, etc., and the results Of their
experimentation have just been pub.
lished by the goe eminent
Al regards temperature, authorities
y. cookery asr~e quite generally that
meat should be subjected at once to
a degree of heat which will scar the
outside of the roast 30 that the juices
Just concluded show that with oven
temperatures ranging from 1872 to 800
degrees Fahrenheit the losses in
weight, due principally to the evap-
grafton of water, varied from to 20
per cent, and, generally speaking, the
higher the temperature the greater
| the loss.
However, in order to develop the
characteristic favOrs of cooked meat
a temperature Of at least 4S2 degrees
Fahrenheit is necessary. When meat
is baked for a short time at very
high temperature-5O0 degrees-the
outside layer is apt to be overdono
and the center too rare for use. When
baked slowly, at a comparatively low
temperature, the roast is evenly cook
ed throughout and the juices we'll re-
tained, but the savoriness and flavor
produced by higher temperatures are
lacking. In regard to the length Of
time required to attain any desired
degree Of cooking, as indicated by the
color, it was found that thirteen min
utes per pound and thirteen minutes
to the oven gave that degree Of cook
Ing known as "rare." Fifteen minutes

It is common belief that the germs of disease flourish only in the human organism, and that, if we could once eradicate an infectious malady, it would stay eradicated. It now seems very probable that this is untrue, says writer in Success. According to a view held wholly or partially by many pathologists, and strongly upheld by a recent French writer, Professor Bodin, disease germs are only accidentally virulent, their normal existence being what is called ''saprophytic," that is, Independent of any other organism When one of these harmless varieties changes its nature so as to become parasitic, we have new disease Ob- servation has shown that many kinds of bacteria are very unstable, and are constantly forming new varieties. It is possible, therefore, that potential germs of typhoid, lockjaw or con- sumption may be growing harmlessly about us, to assume, suddenly, viru- lent parasitic life at some future time. According to this view, all bacteria are primarily benevolent agents for promoting chemical change, and the variation that turns some of them into injurious parasites is accidental and abnormal.

Italton Railway. Cripp,ed.

ROME. Feb. 21.-In order to escape the penalties for striking. the railway employees throughout Italy have en- gagged in Il harassing system of literal and exaggerated obedience of rules and orders, which is having the effect of badly crippling traffic, provoking great indignation on the part of the public. The effect has been the cancel lation of trains and the delay of oth- CTS. The passenger traffic has been re. duced in consequence about 60 per cent. The employees demand certain concessions from the railroads and the repeal of the law prescribing severe punishment for railway employees who engage in strikes.

picking season lasts six weeks. A rapid picker makes from $4 to $S a day; if he has large family to help him it is not unusual for him to make $60O or $500 in the six weeks. This makes the industry very popular among the pickers, and increases the danger that forest fires will be set or permit ted to burn through good timber ill order to increase the extent of blue berry barrens. In addition to the 2,6O0 acres of present barrens, there are in Hancock county over 5000 acres which have been reduced almost to a barren condition. Here, if necessary, this industry could be profitably ex. tended. But when numbering and fires have not materially depleted the forests, the land should be continued under forest cover and the stand i'm proved. The opportunity is ample for a proper extension of blueberry cul. ture without invading valuable forest lands, which should be protected from fire. The wisest policy is to utilize the present blueberry barren areas to the fullest extent, and not to encroach further upon the forests, except as tho growth of the industry makes it profit able to take old cut-over lands for this purpose.

HEARD IN PASSING

Since some of the United States sen ators are supported to enjoy free transportation on the railroads of the country, 1t does not seem probable that the proof that Judge Swayne useu railroad free passes on various ucca- sions will lead to his removal from office by that body.-Hartford Times.
 They were arguing in the house against extravagant expenditures for the navy. One member said, in ef- feet, that in a short time the Russian war will be over, and then the United States will find that the fighting man of Japan will turn his attention to the Philippines, five days distant from Japan and 35 from the United States. That is not much of an argument for a small navy, unless we are going to let Japan have the Philippines, sup posing she wants them.-Exchange
 The Syracuse, N. Y. Post t-Standald learns that before the close of the current year the New York World New York Journal and New York Times, representative newspapers of the metropolis and of the country, will increase their selling price from one cent to two cents. The sole motive for cut prices in the first instance, in Chicago and New York, was spite against business rivals. It was q spite that has paid enormous penalty, as the profit and loss account of cir culation departments in most first. class newspaper offices distressingly proves."-Exchange.
 The Japanese have cancelled some orders for coal, there being now no need of further imports for the Japan ese navy. Japan has found it, par ticularly since the fall of Port Arthur easier and cheaper to obtain supply of the qualities of steam coal from vessels consigned to Vladivostok than to purchase coal in Europe, with the chance of the Russian vessels holding up the cOlliers in the Red sea or In dian ocean. Scarcely day passes that does not tell of the seizure of some neutral ship in Japanese waters and these ships are usually loaded either with coal or supplies for the Russian port.-BostOn Herald.

Almost every stone of the walls and every square yard of the plaster lining them cost | life.

The men could only work with ice packs on their heads. and experience ing daily change of GO degrees. they died by the score every day. By the end of the year the death roll was some thousands. but the palace was finished.

It is just twenty years since the Cullom investigation committee. ap- pointed by the United States senate, undertook to probe into the methods the Standard oil employed to kill off all competition, says ain exchange. Mountains of evidence was secured showing how this all powerful corpora ton had not only forced the railroads to give rebates. but actually compelled them to turn into the coffers of the Standard oil whatever was collected from shippers outside over Standard oil rates. Such was the power wield- cd by the corporation that President Roosevelt and congress are now de- termined they shall obey the law. In effectively killing off all competition it succeeded in increasing its annual dividends until they reached astound- ing figures. Last year S5S,0O0.OOO were divided among the few multi IlllllbudlitS W up oNu tut suiits ol Standard oil. These fabulous dividends are re-invested in all sorts of enter prises, Standard oil money is reaching out for the big railway lines. like the New York Central. It controls the biggest banks in the country, operates great steam ship lines and street rail ways. is grabbing the lighting and power systems in towns and cities. whilst getting a firm grip upon the anthracite and bituminous deposits of the country. It is also reaching out for the steel and iron in the United States. In a few years the Standard oil. if not held in check. will become dominant in all the multifarious in- dustrieS.

Consolidation seems to be the watch, word at present in many Connecticut towns, yet, says Trumbull in the New York Herald, a source of wonder and if the truth must be told, source of amusement, too, to the rest of the state is the persistent refusal of the city of Hartford to consolidate its school districts. There are nine separ- ate school districts in that town, each q sort of a republic by itself. The tax. es in them range from two to eleven and a half mills. They are highest in the poorest districts and lowest in the richest districts. This means that the burden of public education falls with the greatest hardship upon those least able to bear it and lightest upon those most able to bear it. The question of consolidation has been threshed out a number of times, and though the best of the argument has been invariably with the c0nsolidationists it has been impossible to change the system. The controversy is now being revived, ow' ing to q bill before the legislature car. rying into effect the wishes of the more intelligent. There appears to be no serious attempt made to answer the logic of the consolidationists; in fact, it is practically admitted that their contention is difficult one to meet. One opponent, for example, says that there is great deal to be said ill favor of consolidating the dis tricts and bringing the united whole under one first rate management, but, it Is added, Hartford is 270 years old. It has acquired habits. and one of these is district government and man. agement of schools

Kings Confessions.

The queen of Greece is the possessor of volume holding the confessions" of almost every crowned head. King Ed ward is credited with the statement that the type of person he considers the most objectionable is "the man who insists on pointing at you with his umbrella and shouting There he is!'" The king of Sweden is prosaic-and human enough to confess his notion of complete unhappiness to be tight boots, corn, and heavy foot on top of it."

Bring Home Oriental Valets:7

"A peculiar fact that has received lit- tie mention," said clerk in one of the leading hotels, "is that it is getting more and more the custom of those who have resided for any time in the orient to bring at least one native servant home with them. Every steamship now has at least two or three of these servants, and it is getting to be problem for us to dispose of them when their employ CTS come here.

The canning companies own most of the blueberry lands in Maine. except some small twenty-five or fifty acre private holdings Pickers from com pany lands get cents a quart. while private owners receive about 6 to s cents a quart for their berries. The
