- she exchanged glance with
Karl Steinmetz, and that was all. At
dinner it was Maggie and Paul who
were silent. Eta talked to Steinmetz
brightly, gayly, with a certain cour-
age of very high order, for she was
desperate, and she did not show it.
At last the evening came to an end.
Maggie had sung two songs. Stein.
metz had performed on the piano with
marvellous touch. At last Eta rose
to go to bed, with a little sharp sigh
OF great suspense. 1t was coming.
She went up to her room, bidding
Maggie good night in the passage. In
q mechanical way she allowed the deft
handed maid to array her in dress
Ing gown-soft, silken, a dainty tri-
umph in its way. Then, almost impa-
uently, she sent the maid away when
her hair was only half released. She
would brush it herself She was tired.
No, she wanted nothing more

hand. She could hardly breathe. 1t
was coming.
She heard Paul come to his dressing
room. She heard his deep, quiet voice
reply to some question Of his valet.
Then the word "Good night in the
same quiet voice. The valet had gone.
There was only the door now between
her and-what? Her fingers were at
the throat of her dressing gown. The
soft lace seemed to choke her.
Then Paul knocked at the door. It
was coming. She opened her lips. but
at first could make no sound.
"Come in!' she said at length
hoarsely.
She wondered whether he would kill
her. She wondered whether she was
In love with her husband. She had
begun wondering that lately. She was
wondering it when he came in. He
had changed his dress coat for a silk
faced Jacket, in which he was in the
habit of working with Steinmetz in
the quiet room after the household had
gone to bed.
She looked up. She dropped the
brush and ran toward him with q great
rustic Of her flowing silks.
"Oh. Paul, what is it?'' she cried.
She stopped short, not daring to
touch him, before his cold, set face.
"Have you seen any one?'' she whis-

Of hostilitiee."
Admiral Train has been instructed
accordingly. It was stated by
Secretary Taft that if the Russians
vessels agreed to leave Manila in
their present condition they were
welcome to do 80, but as it did not
appear that they suffered from any
damage by the sea or storm this
government was obliged to take the
position above outlined.

Fleet Now in Manila Bay.

Manila, June 3.-Rear Admiral
Epquist, who was commander of the
heavy cruiser squadron of the Rus.
sian feet, arrived in the bay at 9
o'clock this morning on board bis
flagship, the protected cruiser Aurors,
I accompanied by the protected cruis-
ers Cleg and Jemtchug. al the
vessels were more or less damaged
and there were many wounded men
on board.
Rear Admiral Train on board his
flagship, the bsttleship Ohio, with
the Wisconsin, Oregon, Raleigh and
Cincinnati was outside Corregidor
island maneouvering when the
Aurora saluted with thirteen guns
and the Ohio answered. Admiral
Train and bis squadron, accompanied
the Russian vessels to Manila.
In the present circumstances ves-
sells of either of the be!ligerent
nations would be permitted to re-
main at neutral port only "a hours;
or, if the ships were unseaworthy
only long enough to enable them TO
make the necessary temporary re-
pairs, in order that they might reach
their nearest home port. What, if
any, request Admiral Enquist may
make concerning the disposition of
the vessels, is not known here. He
may ask that the vessels be interned
at Manila. Such a request would be
granted By this government. The
cruisers then would be in a position
precisely similar to that of the Rus
sian ship Lena, which about ten
months ago was interned at San
Francisco.
ENQUIST INTERVIEWED
In an interview, Rear Admiral En-
quist's executive officer said:
when the battle began the ad-
miral vas aboard the cruiser Oleg
which was hit number of times by
large shot. There was an increased
rain Of shot from quick firing guns,
and the ship was soon badly damag-
ed.
''The admiral transferred his flag
to the Aurora, which then drew the
combined fire of many torpedo boat
destroyers at close range and the at
tack of submarines. We were over
whelmed by the latter. A mist aris-
ing, We made a dash for the open sea
and were followed by the Oleg and
the Jemtchug.'
Rear Admiral Enquist is unipiured.
Capt. Egoreff, of the Aurora, was
killed by a shell, which struck the
coming tower, and he was buried at
sea the day before reaching Manila.
On the Aurora three officers were
wounded, twenty of the crew were
killed and SO were wounded.
The losses on the Oleg were 13 of
the crew killed and Is wounded.
Ga the Jemchug the casualties
were FL junior officers killed and l
wounded, IL of the crew killed and
80 wounded.
From their appearance, the Russian
vessels are not damaged below the
water line. Their tunnels, however,
are riddled by large and small shot.

How many grown women can look
back at their childhood and feel that
if they bad only been understood by
their elders, much misery and real
agony would have been spared them
and much happiness added to their
present life? Children are children,
it is true, but no two of them are
alike. a kind word and loving caress
will 90 great deal further with some
child's nature than punishment. 1t
is strange provision Of Mother
Nature that child often embodies
the character of an ancestor several
generations back instead of the pa
rents. Too often this is not under
stood, and the mode and disposition
which would tend and obey gentle
treatment is subjected to a harsh
one. It is safe course to exhaust
every resource of gentleness and love
before taking to rod. I do not be-
lieve in the maxim "spare the rod
and spoil the child" prefer Glove

you in your later years. The marks
of punishment unjustly given often
remain on the mind throughout life,

often brings forth harvest of love.

Manila, June 4 I'll a. ~. }-Rsar
Admirals Train and Eoquist are now
conferring in reference to the Russian
warships which arrived yesterday.
According to an unofficial report
Rear Admiral Euq quist asks for four
teen days time in which to repair,
coal and provision his vessels. It is
said further that be alleges that the
ships are unseaworthy and are DANA
ged below the water line. Rear Ad-
miral Train will probably, appoint 8
board to investigate the condition of
the Russian vessels. Both he and
Rear Admiral Enquist are working
in harmony.
Thirty-four seriously wounded Ras-
sian sailors were placed in tbs naval
hospital at Cavite today. Rear Ad.
miral Eoquist left the scene OF the
fighting before the battle was finished
and he did not learn the final details
until he reached Manila.
HEAVILY DAMAGED
Manila. June A. Rear-Admiral
Train has appointed the following
board to Investigate the condition of
the Russian warsbips which arrived
here yesterday aud satd to be in un-
seaworthy condition:
Commander Calkins, Lieut.. Com.
manders McElroy and Thomas Car
penter Harding.
Rear-Admiral Train has offered the
Russian ships the necessary coal in
lieu of fourteen days here, but there
is question whether the Russians
will be able to carry such quantity
of coal on account of their damaged
hulls.
The deaths today aboard the Rus
sian ships now bring the total of
killed up to forty-one, and there are
five additional cases in the hospital.
American navy surgeons are assisting
the Russian surgeons in their work
of caring for the wounded. Rear
Admiral Eoquist now claims that he
lost his flagship in the naval fight
and then transferred his flag to the
Aurora and left the fight Saturday
night. He said that be did not know
that the fight was continued Sunday.
He declared that the japanese attack
was 80 sudden and ferocious that his
section was completely overwhelmed.
The ships of his section while at
tempting to reach Vladivcstok were
at the same time looking for a fight
with the Japanese and when they
encountered their opponents fought
gallantly.
The Russian ships steamed into
Manila at speed Of fifteen knots.
The Russians are now taking on food
supplies.

Two Siberian crab trees were set in
the spring of 1890. The trees were
as nearly alike as possible and set
but 25 feet apart. In 1891, the trees
made nearly uniform growth. Dur.

inches. while the pruned tree pro-
duced 100 new twigs and made a total
growth of 1926 inches. The pruned
tree, therefore, made IA feet more

Our Friend the Robin.

1t Is very easy to begin the tanning
process with the robin, for the young
birds. when they first leave the nest,
are glad enough to pick up few
crumbs. not having yet trained their
eyes to the constant search for in

to come near the human" who pro-

College Life in Scotland.

American college boys and high
school boys would have found student
life at the old Scottish universities
good time they are used TO at their
own seats OF learning. In the early
part of the eighteenth century the stu.
dents at some of the Scottish universi-
ties could not shoulder or push" each
other, could not stand at the gate. on
the stairs or in the corridors of the
college buildings for fear they would
dispute with each other, could not
play or loiter up and down in any of
the courts while the classes were in
progress. nor play ball. billiards or
bowls. A student. no matter how old
he was-even after he had become a
young man-was whipped for getting
into a fight or hitting another student.
He was fined for speaking coarsely or
wickedly. He could not walk out dur
ing the evening. He could not throw
snowballs at anything or anybody.
ard during hours in the college build
ing he could not speak word in any
thing but Latin.
At Edinburgh the students wore
scarlet gowns during classes. They
lived In the town. There were no dor.
mitories and they knew very little
about each other in many cases.
There were, and are to-day at Edn.
burgh no college sports as We know
them and little general college life.

Hillside Orchards.

The orchard on the hillside should
not be handled as an orchard on the
plain. The level orchard can be cul.
tivated whenever cultivation is neces.
sary without detriment to the soil, but
on the hillside it is always necessary
to take into consideration the posi-.
bility of washing by heavy rains.
While it is necessary to cultivate the
level orchard to get the best results,
the hilly orchard must not be culti-
waited more than enough to permit of
the sowing of cowpeas, clover, vetches
or something else for a cover crop.
This cultivation should be done in the
dry time of summer when there is lit
tie likelihood of rain. If the seed
is sown at once there will be enough
moisture in most soils to germinate it.,
and by the time the fall rains come.
the crop will have covered the ground
with a rich verdure. and the soil will
be full of roots which will act as soil
binders AS we travel about the coun.
try we observe here and there hill
side orchards where cultivation has
been attempted. The result is that
many of these hillsides are scanned
with deep gullies and the rich surface
soil has been washed away, leaving
only the sub-soil. which is often def
cient in fertility and humus.
