Brain Food Nonsense.
Another ridiculous food fad h

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes~ the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..

The utmost discretion has been observed with ref erence to the exchanges. but there is reason to believe that the French pre- mier is now fully acquainted with the Russian standpoint and with the line of action which M witte will adopt at the peace conference.

Flying fish are very voracious. In their turn they are preyed upon by barracudas. sharks. dolphins. bill-fish, reddish and a hundred and one others. Nature has colored the flying fish pro- tectively.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 24. = Tho emperor left Peterhof yesterday or board the imperial yacht Standart fol Bjorko, forty-five miles to the north west across the gulf of Finland. He goes to meet Emperor William of Ger many on board the German imperial yacht Hohenzollern.
 Emperor Nicholas cruise in the gulf of Finland to meet Emperor William is the subject of much comment in the press. Certain newspapers express the fear that the German emperor will influence the Russian emperor over far eastern matters and will hinder the carrying out of the peace programme while others are of the opinion that Emperor William will seek to estrange Russia from France.
 A Uridiapudze (Manchuria) dispatch says that the Japanese armies at pres ent occupy the position d an immense sickle. with the handle reaching from a few miles south of' Liaoyang and passing through Changtafu. the blade circling northward toward kirin, with the tip on the Korean coast, south of Possiet bay. which is short dis tance south of Vladivostok.
 It is estimated that General Nogi has SD battalions, General Uku 60. General Nodzu 36, General Kuroki 160, Gen. eral kawamura go and General .Hase- gawa 120 the battalions averaging 1000 men. which makes the numerical strength of the Japanese 550.0O0 bayo- nets, with 2,O00 field and mountain guns and about 100 siege guns. The Japanese extreme left is guarded by General Kawamura's cavalry division. The Chinese ill the Japanese service are in the center screened by cavalry under the command of General Oki- hara.

 Japanese cruisers are making demon strations along the coast in the rear of the Russian forces in Korea. evi- dently intent on facilitating the ad- vance of General Hasegawa's force by menacing the Russian line of commu- nications.
 Though it was predicted that there would he some disorders in St. Peters burg. Sunday was uneventful. Agi- tators in Nizhni Norgorod. Kazan. Vitebsk, Ourmi and several other towns arranged demonstrations and tried te precipitate collisions with the police and troops. but there was no loss of life and no serious affrays so far as reported.
 Agitators in the Baltic provinces re- sorted to interference with church serv- ices. to insults toward the clergy and even to the use of firearms against at- tempts to preserve order. As in the case of the murder of Baron Bistrom. . popular and wealthy landowner of Mitau. the action of the agitators alienated the sympathy of the people. The congregations. however. were thor. oughly intimidated and fed in panic whenever there was demonstration.

Eugene Richter, the great German radical who has recently gone blind, was a thorn in the flesh of Prince Bis marck.

 "Is it really true that all the ships company except ourselves are lost:" she brokenly demanded.
 The sailors gravely earnest glance fell before hers. "Unhappily there is no room for doubt" he said.
 Are you quite. quite sure:'
 T am sureof some" Involuntarily he turned seaward.
 She understood him. She sank to her knees. covered her face with her hands and broke into a passion of weeping. With look of infinite pity he stopped and would have touched her shoulder. but he suddenly restrained the i'm pulse. Something had hardened this man. It cost him an effort to be cal lous. but he succeeded. His mouth frightened and his expression lost its tenderness
 Come. come. my dear lady" he ex- claimed, and there was a tinge of stud fed roughness in his voice, you must calm yourself. It is the fortune of shipwreck as well as of war, you know. We are alive and must look after ourselves. Those who have gone are beyond our help"
 But not beyond our sympathy" walled Iris, uncovering her swimming eyes for feeting look at him. Even in the utter desolation of the moment she could not help n1arveling that this queer hammered sailor. who spoke like a gentleman and tried to pose as her inferior, who had rescued her with the utmost gallantry. who carried his Guix- otic zeal to the point of first supplying her needs when he was in far worse case himself. should be so utterly in different to the fate of others.
 He waited silently until her sobs ceased
 "Now. madam" he said. ''it is essen tial that we should obtain some food. I don't wish to leave you alone until we are better acquainted with our wherea bouts. Can you walk a little way toward the trees. or shall I assist you?'
 Iris immediately stood up. She press ed her hair back defantly.

 Well. madam

The grave mistake made by Gov

government as that brought to light
by the suit of Henry W. Peabody Of
Boston and Manila, the treasury
deficit will begin to assume alarm
ing proportions. The Court has
just decided in this case that all
the duties collected on goods brought
from the United States to the Philip
pines, during the period Of military
occupation, from April IL, 1899. TO
March 8, 1901, were illegal and

This money formed the pevenue Of

to make good the loss. The Gov

little hope is expressed that the
