Fighting on large scale is in prog
ress between The Russian and Japanese
armies in Manchuria. General Kuro-
patkin, after meeting the initiative of
Japanese in the eastern part of the
Shakhe valley assumed the aggressive
in the western portion Tuesday and
under cover of heavy artillery fire
from Putiloff hill and Novgorod hill,
succeeded in driving the Japanese from
position in the outskirts Of Sandiapu.
simultaneously the Russians attacked
and captured railroad bridge on the
Japanese center. Much more serious
are the japanese operations against the
Russian left wing, which threatened, un-
less quickly checked, to oblige Gen
Kuropatkin TO abandon the positions on
the Hun river, which he has occupied
and fortified during the winter. There
is no confirmation of the report that the
Russian commander in chief has notified
the Emperor that retreat nOrthward has
become imperative
Fighting was reported all along the
line, Tuesday noon, the Japanese attack
ing everywhere. All attacks, Tuesday
morning, were beaten back and the Rus
slams made counter-attacks at many
places On the right flank the Russians
occupied the village of Baotatse; which
is close to Sandapu and from that posi-.
ton hun led grenades across the inter
vening ravine into the japanese trenches
in Sandiapu, causing heavy loss and
great disorder.

One Of the ancient customs connect
ed with Swedish funerals was to place
a small looking glass in the coffin OF
an unmarried female, so that when the
last trump sounds she might be able
to arrange her tresSes. 1t was the
practice for Scandinavian maidens to
wear their hair flowing loosely, while
the matrons wore 1t bound about the
head and generally covered with some
form Of cap: hence the unmarried wo
man was imagined as awakening ut
the judgment day with more untidy
locks than her welded sisters and
more in need Of glass. Westminster
