stood that some of the convicts have re- army in Manchuria by means of prom ises of freedom when the war is over.
 What Japan will do with Sakhalin, which of course she will demand as one of the peace cond d<ions, is fairly evident. In the first place, the island is probably the finest fishing ground in the world, and, as the Japanese eat more fish than any other people on the globe, the territory will be of immense value to them for this reason alone.
 But Sakhalin is also extremely rich in coal and, it is believed, in gold and other metals. Neither the climatic con- dition of the island nor its soil is suit ed for agriculture, but almost its en- tire surface is covered with forests, chiefly coniverous, and these will doubtless be used by the Japanese for extensive lumbering operations.
 The acquisition of the island will add large area to the Japanese empire. There are 29,000 square miles of land in Sakhalin, and the population at pres ent is less than one person to a square mile. The surface is largely noun tainous, the elevations extending even to the sea. The western coast for the most part presents the appearance of a steep wall varying in height from 100 to POO feet, and is practically without indentation. The eastern coast is al most as precipitous as the western, but is more indented and forms a number of lagoons.
 In the northern part of the island there are three mountain ranges, two running along the coasts and the other down the middle. They vary in alti- tude from 1900 to 5000 feet and are all densely wooded. In the south an- other mountain range runs along the eastern coast, and a third covers the southeastern part of the island.
 The climate varies in different parts of the island, but is mostly very se- we're. The snow occasionally reaches depth of seven feet.
 The principal Russian settlements are Alexandrovsk, the seat of the ad- ministration: Rykovskoie, Korsakovsk and Muravievski

What becomes of the presidential 2

What becomes of the presidential as- pirations with which Secretary Taft has been credited is not known at pres ent and MT Taft is not speaking for himself, but it is intimated by those on the inside of republican politics that Mir Taft will receive compensation in the form of a promise from MT Root of the chief justiceship of the su- preme court in the event that Melville W. Fuller is not sufficiently accommo- dating either to resign or die during the present administration. MT Taft is essentially a lawyer and he would dearly love to preside over the su- preme bench. That is life position whereas the presidency may not last more than four years.-cannot last to exceed eight in any event,-and be- sides Mr Taft might not command sui fcient support to secure the nomina- ton, whereas MT Root. who has the absolute confidence of the Wall street crowd could. doubtless, with the as- sistance of the president, command the nomination and would then be subject cd only to the danger of defeat at the polls, a danger which will prove small unless the democrats bestir them selves and perfect a stronger and abler organization than they now pos sess. between now and the summer of laGS

A Limited Offer.

During the time that the Radio Chemic Physicians have been estab- lished in practice in this city, they have given the citizens an opportun- ity to learn the nature of their com plaints without a penny to pay. They did this to enable all to investigate their new and perfected system of N Ray examination and treatment. They, are now in the second year of their grand success. and. having es- tablished their reputation and an en- viable record for curing disease. these scientific specialists feel that they are sufficiently introduced to the public. They have. however. decided to grant the urgent request of a number who have failed to be examined, and eX- tend the free offer two more weeks. The Radio-Chenic Physicians have set three days in the week for XRay examination. with consultation and ad- vice. They request all who desire this free service to call on Monday. "Wednesday or Saturday. The chief examining physician will be in at tendance on those days.
 The system of treatments and metiI- cine that they use is destined to be come the up-to-date method of pro gressive physicians in the future. Every sufferer in this city or in the surrounding towns may feel free to visit the N-Ray Doctors during the next two weeks. and receive the bene- fiji of their great skill and large experI- ence.

When we stop to consider the mil lions and millions of foreigners who have come to America and have be- come loyal and prosperous citizens, the results astonish even the keenest stu dents of sociology, says Joe Mitchell Chapel in the National magazine. The remaking of natives of half a dozen countries into American citizens is no small undertaking, and involves a con- stant succession of economic sacrifices on the part of those already engaged in our industries that is the highest de gree honorable to their unselfish hu- manity.

A VIEW OF SAkHAL|N
First Russian Land Seized by
 the Japanese.
WHY IT WILL BE VALUABLE.
As Nipponites Are Great Fish Eaters, the Island, Which Is Probably the Worlds Finest Fishing Ground, Will Be Greatly Prized-Extremely Rich In Coal.

Sakhalin is the first territory actually forming part of the Russian empire, which has been occupied by the Japa- nese since the war in the far east be- gan, says the New York Times.
 The island, geographically, is part of the Japanese group. For other reasons the Japanese regard it as legitimately theirs. Its aborigines are the Ainus, the same people as the aborigines of Japan, and Japan actually regarded the southern part of the island as hers until the year 1875, when, in the lan guage of the histories, it was "ac- quired' by Russia in exchange for some of the southern Kurile islands. In reality the exchange was forced upon Japan against her will, and it has been almost as great a grievance against Russia as the events of twenty years afterward, when Russia deprived Japan of the fruit of her victory over China and took that fruit herself
 What Russia has done with Sakhalin is well known. She has turned it into penal settlement. which is probably now the most terrible in the world. Ghastly accounts of the condition of the convicts in the island have been printed in American newspapers. In the living death which is theirs they become more like wild beasts than hu man beings, and the slightest careless ness on the part of the guards is cer tain to result in bloodshed. It is under

EnolIsh silks,

There is no doubt about 1t that the
most elaborately plenished wardrobe
requires absolute simplicity az e6e
characteristic of some Of It's details,
and this applies very emphatically to
the morning shirt. Smart though the
white lingerie one is, it is not always
desirable to wear il, and so there ar
riyes an opportunity for the tailor
made model called the Gibson Girl,
with it's neatly stitched pleats and its
general air Of practical utility.
There are being sold aow some ex-
cellent English silks that wear very
well, and are not expensive.
They should be made with a neck
band like that Of mans shirt, and a
deep white linen collar should be
worn with them, with a little tie ar
ranged in a bow in front. Supposing
there should be in the possession Of

A Distinction and a Difference.

1t is related by one who claims to
have been an eyewitness that upon a
recent occasion when Eugene Zim-
norman, the railroad magnate, and
the duke of Manchester were making
a tour Of inspection, the duke desir-
ing to find out something about Mr..
Zimmerman's lines. they proceeded to
Detroit freightyard and while
watching train crew at work were
joined by high official of one of the
Vanderbilt roads. The gentleman was
introduced by Mr.. Zimmerman to the
duke, the latter being named as his
grace Of Manchester"
"Ah, very glad. indeed" said the
Vanderbilt official, ito meet his
grace"
Then turning to Zimmerman, he
said
THE duke, I believe. is your SON
in-law, is he not?"
Mr., Zimmerman placed hand opon
his breast, bowed low and replied:
Il have the honor to be his grace's
father-in-law."
Apparently the duchess has sue
ceeded in teaching pa to fully under
stand the delicacy of his position.

The municipal laboratory of Paris
has been examining the experiments
made by DR.. Vogel, who has manufac-
tured a very succulent cheese from the
small Chinese beans known as SOY
beans" The doctor finds that the pulp
of these beans contains many of the
caseine qualities, and that the result
ing composition is both nourishing and
pleasant to the taste.
The London Lancet finds that the
chestnut is the most digestible nut,
and cannot only take the place of the
potato, as in France, where chestnuts,
boiled and mashed like potatoes, make
a delicious dish. but in reality they are
a more perfect form of food. Accord.
ing to the Lancet's analysis of the po
tato and the chestnut, the latter con.
tains less water, more proteid, more
fat and starch, but less mineral mat
ter than the potato. and is more di
gestible than the latter. Like the po
tato, also, its nutritive and digestive
qualities are greatest when baked OF
roasted.

An overcrowding OF the profession
in the east caused young attorney
to take up the practice of law in a
developing western city. He located
in large storeroom, where other en-
terprises were conducted, and had a
space partitioned off for his office.
The lawyer made friends rapidly, ac-
cumulated business and was regarded
highly as a counselor and mentioned
highly as candidate for Justice.
But one day friends looked at him
strangely and hurled all manner OF de-
risiye thrusts at the popular attorney.
He was accused Of degrading the pro-
fession, introducing get-rich-quich
methods into the community and dis
couraging the efforts of men to con1
duct themselves and their business af-
fairs honestly.
The attorney was startled on maxi
ing investigation. A tailor who had
leased space in the storeroom, had
placed his sign beneath the lawyers.

peel the sweet potatoes and cut them
lengthwise into slices. Arrange them
in layers in pudding dish. treating
each layer to butter and sugar In the
proportion of heaping tablespoonful
of butter and cup Of sugar to each

variety. When the dish is full. with
bits of butter and sprinklings OF sugar
for the top dressing. cover It and bake
