BARON ROsEN, Russian Ambassador
to the United States, made a very sig
nificant statement Wednesday. He said
that it IS the intention of Russia, now
that there is to be peace, to cultivate
the closest relations with japan, in the
hope of eventually taking the place Of
England in a japanese combination.
This is the reason why so much care Is
to lie bestowed OH the commercial
features Of the treaty 20 be made. So
far as the evacuation Of Manchuria Is
concerned. the treaty will merely recog-
nize and establish the principle. The
time of the evacuation will be set by the
generals in the field. Nothing has been
heard from St. Petersburg or Toxic yet
as to the armistice, but that is not
strange, as the armistice, when it is de-
cleared, will be arranged by the home
governments, Indeed, there has been a
virtual armistice since the negotiations
began. Should this plan crystaize into
a fact both Russia and Japan will doubt
less soon recuperate from the effects Of
the war and become more prosperous
than ever while following the paths of
peace and good will toward each other.

The street candy peddler is one
OF the things that attract the atten-
ton of the tourist on his first ar
rival in Mexico, says Modern Mexi-
co. AS the climate is warm enough
to be out of doors all the year
around, the candy yender is to be
found at his post from one years
end to the other, including Sun
days, Saturdays and feast days. The
candy man has very ancient his
tory. The Aztecs were very fond of
sweets, of which they understood the
art of making very many kinds and
varieties. The soldiers of Cortes
tell us that on their way to this city
from Vera Cruz on that memorable
march against the city of the Aztecs
they were met along the way by
vendors who sold sweets of many
kinds, which became very agreeable
to the taste when once they had got
accustomed to them. The candy
vcnder takes up his place at the cor
ner of street, where he remains all
day from early morning till late at
night. AS general thing, too, you
may find him in the same place all
the year round. Once a yender has
possession of a certain place the 9TH
err vendors recognize his right and
do not modest him with competition.
Sometimes a vender will sell only
one kind of candy. In this case he
in all probability makes it himself,
However, many vendors have lately
been seized with the progressive
spirit of the times and display quite
a little stock in trade of kinds of
sweets, most of which are not known
outside of Mexico.
The candy vender generally has a
small folding table about ~ by
21a feet in dimensions. On this he
piles all bis wares. Therefore you
have no trouble in finding exactly
what you want, for there it Is all
spread out before you. If you do
not find it there you need not make !
further inquiries. The vender will |
not have it.
There are over a thousand street |
candy vendors in the City of Mexico.
Some of these have push carts, an
of the new age of mod
ern Mexico. These are generally |
more ambitious than their fellows
and generally go about from fair to
fair. They are to be found about
the better markets and the plazas
on feast days, and they generally
hang around outside the schools,
where they sell to the children on
school days. Some Of these vendors.

The Proper Amount Of Sleep.

A proper amount of sleep is Of
course absolutely essential to con-
tinued good health, but if dietetic
habits are correct it is matter
which will regulate itself. If a rule
is needed, one will follow naturally
from the fact that almost every one
feels languid on waking and is dis
posed to take another nap, no mat
ter how long he has been sleeping.
This is a morbid sensation which it
would take too long to explain here.
1t is enough to say that lack of sleep
should be made up, if possible, at
the beginning and not at the end.
The best general rule is to rise at
given hour every morning, whether
tired or not, and go to bed when
sleepy.-Century.

How the Skipper Named His Boat and

There is something singularly

the names of many of the old time
sailing vessels, coastwise and ocean
going, which once spread their
white wings SO plcntifully against
the blue skies and bright waters Of
The New England harbors.
Who can. help at the mere sound
Of such names as the Lively Jane,

ten charms? Many indeed are the
suggestions for the romancer hid
den away in the brief compass Of old
shipping lists preserved here and
there in faded and tattered newspa-
pers. Sometimes, too, one catches
elsewhere an echo of their name and
fame.
In one old New England seaport
there was a few years ago an aged
seaman whose favorite tune among
the many chanteys he was in the
habit of humming as he went about
the domestic chores of his tiny, soil

Perhaps the most curious story of
any vessel named for a sweetheart is
that pertaining to neither fishing
craft nor merchantmen, but to lit
tie skiff familiar in the long ago to
the waters of Narragansett bay. 1t
was owned by the good elder of a
little shore village, who for fifty
years had persistently courted shy
maiden of the name of Rhoda Bak-

he called she would not even see
him. He would find the sitting
room empty and the chair from
which she had fled at the very mo-
ment of her "Come in" yet rocking |
by the window.
AT length Rhoda died, still a
spinster, and her bereaved lover de-
sired to honor her memory by be-
slowing her name upon his boat.
But he encountered a difficulty.
Rhoda's permission could not be
asked, and since in life she had
never accepted him was it fair or
courteous to her to dispense with it?
He solved this problem of chivalry
and avoided the least shadow of pre-
by naming the vessel and
painting the name in conspicuous
black letters on the stern, Rhoda
