away with her few belongings and her

great city where she had lived four
years previously.
IL was during the evening OF the Same
day that Robert Mason returned. He
had received commission To explore
district on the East Side by night
and he had carried out the task and
had written his description OF what he
had seen.
His mind was quickly made up: he
was able To pay some of the rent and
thus redeem few OF his household
goods. and with these he removed TO
another lodging.

go on steadily and soberly for "A time,

New York, March 22.-Seven thou sand two hundred and fifty-two immi- grants are in port, to be landed at El- lis Island during the day. All of these came on ships which should have ar rived here last week, but were detained by bad weather, and came up the bay in fleet.
 Of the other belated ships which should have arrived by last Saturday. seven are expected in few hours, with 5,003 more immigrants. Other ships due this week are bringing 20,- 2SS immigrants. making for the seven days ending next Saturday grand to- tai, including 320 landed from the Ethiopa on Sunday, of g, S36 aliens to be landed at Ellis Island, which would make a good record for any month, and which is far in excess of figures for any week in March since the fed- eral government has handled the land ing depot at this port.

Eisat or nine lives are known to have been lost and damage amounting to thousands of dollars was done to prop erty.

 Awful Cost of War.

A comparative estimate of the losses of Russia and Japan in the first year of the war is given in a recent issue of the London Daily Mail. The total casualty list on both sides Is set down at 240,000, of whom 10000 were killed or drowned at sea. ire spective of those who died of disease or privation or were taken prisoners. The figures for the Manchurian cam- paign are given as 57,250 Japanese and ,000 Russians killed and wounded, the prisoners being esti- mated at GOO and 3,4S3, respectively. In the Port Arthur operations 55,90O Japanese and II 400 Russians were killed or wounded. and 32,000 Russians captured. In addition to this, 1,799 Japanese and 2.527 Russians were lost at sea Of superior officers, the Rus sians have lost eight generals (in- cluding Count Keller and Gen. Kon- drachenko) and one admiral, while eight generals and four admirals sur rendered at Port Arthur So far as is known the Japanese have only lost two generals. In regard to material the Russians have lost S20 guns, seven battleships, 13 cruisers and quantity of other vessels of total value of 916,500,000 while the Japanese have lost 15 guns, one battleship, four pro- tected cruisers and two coast-defense ships. Finally, the total cost of the war is estimated at f160000, 900, of which G107,000,000 falls to Russia The figures are tremendous, and it is difficult to read them without a cer- tain sense of shame at the way in which our trifling losses during the Boer war were written and talked about Our excuse must, we suppose, be that minor operations often cause more pain to patients than those which are great and serious.

Temper and Health.

One of the most difficult things to do in the world sometimes is to keep ones temper. A calm serenity of temper and a self-control which keeps person un- rufiied amid the petty annoyances and lies of everyday life, says the Chicago Daily News, indicate the possession of perfect mental health. Nowadays peo- pie are very fond of saying so-and-so was just mad" meaning very angry :; but il would be well if temper were more often seriously regarded as mad ness. It may be preventable madness but madness it is while 1t lasts, and there is seldom anyone who is made more unhappy by it than the person who gives way to it. In our treatment of the ill-tempered the cultivation oi the art of not hearing will be very helpful. It is useful art all through life

As Others See Us.

The American man is more consist ently considerate of and generous to women than any fellow on earth, and in no country does he get sharper snubbing for his pains, says writer in the London Chronicle. The hand ling of husbands by wives in America amounts to an art, profession, al most a science. Based on the theory that the more one has to do the more one can accomplish, ladies who have hard working, enterprising spouses simply retire from active life. If he manages his office and business satis- factorily, why not take over the house and servants? What is known as "a good husband" in the states is first class. non-tiring money making ma chine. who gives everything, asks nothing and brags ceaselessly of his wifes perfections. Should he presume to criticise a charred chop or flat souffie or complain at the size of the draper's bills. he is set down as a brute, and the wife is pitied as first class martyri For such sins as the above two men of my acquaintance were forced to live in hotels year al time. They had committed the crime of finding fault with the impeccable sex, and were reduced to subjection by having their homes taken from them. For my part l think the Brton's way is best
