Mukden, March 1.-fighting continues
in tront and west of lie pass. On the
extreme s the Japanese have taken
the outlying positions, n they now
threaten The main defense. Owing to
their formidable attack it is thought
the Japanese artillerymen are veterans
from Fort Arthur, commanded by Gen
$eral Nogi. Forty wounded Russians ar
rived at Mukden today, n 400 are eN-

point to an unusual struggle.
The reported turning OF the Russian

FAMous-ENGcIsH WELLS.
Some whose Waters Are Charged
with Magic or Miraculous Power.

with Magic or miraculous Power.
Though there are hundreds of wells
supposed to possess magical power
scattered all over England. the general
public is ignorant Of their locality or
the romantic stories connected with
each one. There may be a possible ex-
ception in the well Of ST. Keyne, In
Cornwall, for Southey has made It ia
nous in witty little poem. The mag
ic OF Its waters Is such that the hus-
band or wife who drinks first from 1t
after leaving the altar viii have the
upper hand over the mate for their
joint lives, The bride of whom Southey
tells us did not wait till after the mar
riage ceremony to pay a visit to the
well, but took the precaution Of taking
a bottle with her to the church.
Another well, In Monmouthshire,
which has a peculiar fascination for
the unmarried maidens is known is
the "virtuous well" For generations
the maidens Of that locality have &C
credited II with marvellous powers in
forecasting their futures. They have
only to drop a pebble into It's water
and count the resultant bubbles, for
each bubble represents a month Of
waiting for the day which viii make
them brides. In order 10 propitiate
the genius which presides over the well
II is necessary to decorate the BRAN
bles which shade II with bits Of white
cloth.
Then there are the so called holy
wells which have many medicinal vir-
tues. Such a one Is st. Winifred's. at
Holywell, which Is accredited with
cures that are almost miraculous. The
legend OF its origin is a very pretty
one. 1t is said that twelve centuries
ago st. Winifred, the winsome daugh-
ter OF a Welsh chief, was wooed by
Prince Caradoc. prince of III repute.
She declined his persistent advances,
and at last he killed her In a fit Of
rage. From the spot on which st.
Winifred's lifeblood fell there gushed
forth stream of crystal water which
has worked miracles In her name for
so many centuries.
Practically all the ills to which the
flesh is heir can be cured by one or an
other Of these wells. ST. Ninan's, in
Cornwall. is said to restore lunatics to
sanity, but the patient must be Inn
mersed in the water and held there un-
til the breath has nearly left his body.
This seems a heroic measure. But even
this Is not so severe as the treatment
which must be endured II madman Is
to be cured at Llandegla well, in
Wales, for after the victim is nearly
drowned he is trussed like a fowl and
laid under the communion table Of the
neighboring church for the night.

The green matter in the tissues of a
leaf is composed Of two coIors, red and
blue. When the sap ceases to flow in
the autumn the natural growth Of the
tree is retarded, and oxidation Of the
tissues takes place Under certain con-
dltions the green Of the leaf changes to
red. Under different aspects 1t takes
on yellow or brown hue. The differ
ence In color is due to the difference In
combinations of the original constitu-
ents of the green tissues and to the
varying condition Of climate, exposure
and soil. Naples and oaks have the
brightest color.

The Change Of a Name.

How family names change in the
course Of many years is illustrated by
the conversion of "Botevile" into
Thyme" An English deed bearing
date in the closing days of the fifteenth
century shows three brothers then
hourishing-John Botevile Of Botevile
and Thomas and William Botevile.
The trio are distinguished from all 9TH
er Boteyiles by the explanation "of the

sion. Johns grandson was known as

the transition to Ralph Thyme IL easy.
