As a result of that week in Kamranh Bay the
advantage Of the Russians over the Japanese
has becn greatly increased What remains to
be seon Is whether Admiral ltOiestvensky is as
able in fighting an enemy in the open as he is in
evading or violating the neutrality laws. 1t has
often been remarked that Russia's successes
have been won by diplomacy rather than by
arms. and it may be that what she has won by

am afraid there are thousands of homes
in which good table talk is unknown. Peo-
pie are preoccupied or hurried. worried or
cross. and they eat in silence. The presence
at the table of a single disagreeabIe or I'M
congenial person may impose silence on the
rest. and conversation is limited to requests
for the bread or the water and to brief
monosyllables from the head of the house,
while the children sit. by like mutes. at a

three times day the whole household is

pleasant intercourse. Animals may be fed:
human beings in taking food have some
thing beyond the body In view, and should
renew brain tissues and spiritual necessi-
ties when they replenish iife's waste and
satisfy physical hunger.

sense and courage to rise a half hour earlier
