ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 8o.-General
Kuropatkin's attempt to break through
the japanese left wing and outf1ank
Field Marshal Oyama's position on the
Shakhe River seems to have failed en-
tirely. Few details have been received.
however. beyond the information con-
tanned in the official dispatches.
Field Marshal Oyama, as at the bat
tie OF the Shakhs River, appears to
have answered the Russian advance
with q counter offensive movement,
but no great disposition was shown to
carry the warfare into the territory
held by the Russians.
At the War Office there Is an inclina-
ton to lay the chief blame for the fall
ure Of the movement to a sudden
change of the weather to intense cold
GO degrees below zero) with a high
wind which drifted the snow and rem
dered 1t hazardous to expose the troops
to camping in the open plain, and also
impeded the transportation Of guns,
supplies and the wounded.
The operation entrusted to the Sec
ond army, under General Grippenberg,
was the capture of Sandepas, which.
once In Russian hands, would serve as
a pivot for f1anking. movement
against Field Marshal Oyama; but
Sandepas proved too hard a nut to
crack, and the Japanese, taking ad-
vantage Of the check Of the Russians,
hurried up their reinforcements and
assumed the offensive on the Hun Riv-
er, as well as along the railroad and
the Great Mandarin road. The Rus
slams, however, appear to have been
completely successful on the defensive,
repulsing all the Japanese attacks.
Under the circumstances, General
Grippenberg decided not to press the
attempt to storm Sandepas. which is
situated in a fat country, and, there
FORE more difficult to take by assault
than a position in a hilly country.
Owing to the fiat trajectory and the
enormous penetration Of modern pro-
jectiles, the capture of the outer line
of trenches on Thursday entailed
heavy casualties. There is no official
estimate of the losses, but it is ex-
pected that some thousands on both
sides were killed or wounded.
- The news of this defeat, coming at
this time, is especially hard for the
Government. The popular idea con-
tinues to be that the advance was un-
dertaken in order to divert attention
of the people from the events in Euro
pean Russia.

IMPUGNs RUssIA's MOTIVES.
Japan Makes Strong Reply to Chinese
Neutrality Note.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O-The Jap
anese Government has made verbal de-
NAL to the State Department here, and,
it is understood, to other Governments,
of the Russian charges of violation of
Chinese neutrality during the present
war. The Japanese statement, just
made public, is couched in strong Ian
guage.
1t says that while it is not Japan's
duty to defend China in this case, yet
so far as the good faith and loyalty of
Japan are called into question the
Government of that country feels
bound to reply to the charges. These
are taken up seriatim, beginning with
the Rveshitelni incident, which the
verbal note declares was nothing more
than the adoption by Japan of just and
inevitable measures of self-defense
made necessary by Russia's violation
of Chinese neutrality. The charges
that Chinese brigands were command
cd by japanese officers and enrolled in
their army, and that Japanese military
instructors were with the Chinese SOL
diers on the border. are declared to be
& without any foundation whatever, and

Bill Discussed Changing Methods OF

the Session.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 30.-The pres
ent Legislature intends to consider
with seriousness the revision of the
constitutional amendment providing for
the holding of the sessions of that body
and take the initial steps toward in
stituting the reforms deemed necessary
in this line. When Stanton's amend
ment to the constitutional provision
dealing with Legislative sessions came
up in it's amended form in the Assem-
bly, this morning, as submitted by the
committee, the author objected to the
amendment providing that the total
daily expense of each House, aside
from the pay of the members, shall be
$3.50.
The bill as introduced by him provid-
ed for an efghty-day session to begin,
as now,1 on the first Monday of the
year. the pay of the members to be $S
day and the total expense to be $500
day for each house. The committee
,amended it, fixing February l as the
opening day, the members pay at SO
day and the daily expense at 81 so.
NO measure will come before this
session of the Legislature that the peo-
pie will watch more closely than this
one? said Speaker Prescott taking the
floor. II wish the whole question Of
attaches could be taken off our backs
and the members OF the Assembly
could be freed of this incubus that has
been the growth of years. The blame
is not all with the. Assembly, though
we shoulder IT as bravely as we can.
Between our constituents who are rail-
ing against it and those who are i'm
posing demands upon US the legislator
is between the devil and the deep sea. -

Nurse Crops.

A great deal has been said against
nurse crops, but in some parts Of the
Western States nurse crops are quite
necessary for the sowing Of clover.
Where clover is sown with spring
wheat the stubble Of the wheat when
cut helps to hold the snow over the
plants during winter and keeps them
from freezing out. 1t is the experience
Of farmers in a good many places that
nurse crops protect the clover during
summer, especially In regions where

What We Eat.

An important constituent Of our food
Is nitrogen, an invisible gas; foods
containing protein are called nitrogen
GUS. Carbohydrates build fat and
produce heat and energy; protein does
all that and builds the red meat or
muscle in addition. We get oil in the
butter used on bread. From these
three great food groups we make our
feeding stuffs. We get carbohydrates
from potatoes, sugar beets, corn. Corn
alone lacks nitrogen and will not
make sufficient muscle. Wheat, bar
ley and rye are all rich starches, good
to %fatten, but not the best for muscle
making. We get protein in fax, in
the outside of the wheat grain, in clo-
yer and alfalfa, In bran, middlings and
oil meal. These foods are rich in pro-
TEN. Wheat bran, linseed oil, cotton
seed meal and any legume.

Although they were forced to unite
with Sweden, the Norwegians never at
any time r~elinqulshed their rights
they enjoyed under their Constitution.
Yet there were other rights, they
claimed, and the history of Norway
for the last nine decades is a story of
quiet, firm contention for these consti-
tutiOnal rights, until they have every
one, save only the demand for a sep
arate consular service, been granted.
1t was the refusal of the King to
agree to the law passed by the Stor-
thing, demanded a separate consular
service, which has threatened the act
of union.
Norway is a small cOuntry-about
the size of New MeXico-and one
third of it lies within the Arctic Circle.
1t has n population of 2~,240,000, or
about n quarter million less than
Paris. In spite of its limited extent
and its small population, Norway has
a navy twice the size of ~Portugal's,
and an army of 10000 men, or about
the size of that of the United States
prior to the Spanish-American war.

Norway must be a sailor at one per-

The Society of the Turn Verein.

There are three hundred separate
turner societies in the United States,
divided into twenty-nine districts, with
a total membership of $4,000. Seven
thousand active members, or young
men, are taking regular gymnastics
every week, and may be called the
flower of the organization for drill and
exhibition purposes. About the same
number Of "old gentlemen are en-
rolled in the gymnastic squads. Four
thousand young woman belong to
classes in their societies. More than
twenty thousand boys and girls are in
the Turn Verein gymnasium and
schools. In the Middle West, the
turner gymnasts are in great demand
as teachers in the public school sys-
tens of physical education, and a nor

warned otheds who had not seen the
land of the Rising Sun to hasten ere
the nation had put on its new dress.
Norway, without a war, however, has
awakened, too. Rapidly is the old
home Of the Vikings losing its pictur-
esqueness. Ever since BjornsOn, some
thirty years ago, became an Influence
of mOdernity in Norway, the little
country has advanced at a rate that
would be considered tremendous had
there not been in the same period more
wonderful progress shown in the East.
The primitive is fast disappearing
from the Land Of the Midnight Sun.
Norwegians who cling to the past will
tell you that it is the Americans and
English who have ruined Norway"
And, in a measure, it is due to the
m tourist. who usually halls from
America or England, that the pictur-
esque garb of the people in the in
terror has been replaced by clothing
similar to that Of 1.-The speckled tour

people. The Arcadian simplicity of
the rustic Norwegian is almost a thing
of the past. The farmers, like those
in Switzerland, have found that inn
keeping 10 far more profitable than
working hard to garner a puny har-
vest Of grain, although, as yet, the
Morse farmer has not allowed summer
guests with long purses to swerve him
from his regular pursuit.

While historians may still dispute
whether the Vinland discovered by
Lief Erickson was really a part of
America, there is a popular notion
among Norwegians-not the really
educated classes, of courSe-that
America was discovered and populated
by Norsemen. The peasants have a
notion that, until about half a century
ago, America was principally in the
keeping of the red men and buffaloes.
Then there was considerable emigra-
ton from Norway, and the impression
prevails that it is the descendants of
these Norwegians who return to visit
the home of their ancestors and to
enjoy the magic of the midnight sun
and the quiet mystery Of the deep,
still Norwegian fjords.
The original inhabitants Of Norway
are believed to have migrated from
the Black Sea, but when this passage
took place, OF rather when 1t began
and when it ended, cannot be even
approximately given. Remains of the
stone age, bronze age and iron age
have been discovered in the PENN
sula, and only serve to prove the an
tiquity of this Germanic people, and
indicate that Norway was populated
between 1000 and 5000 years ago.
Like that Of all ancient countries,
the genuine history of Norway cannot
be separated from that which is myth
ical, and its recorded history practi-
cally begins in the ninth century. Be-
fore that time, in lieu of history, we
have the romance of the Sagas and
Eddas, DR. tales and songs, which deal
in a most picturesque manner with
NEUROLOGICAL times.

Doesn't Pay to Codd1e Alfalfa.

If an alfalfa field is in bad condi.
ton it is usually best to plow up and
re-seed. 1t scarcely ever pays, at least
where irrigation is practiced, to coddle
a poor stand Of alfalfa. Many grow
ers recommend disking every spring,
even when the stand is good, and some
have even found it a paying practice
TO disk after each cutting. Such disk
ing will often prevent the encroach-
ment of weeds. In the Eastern States
alfalfa fields sometimes suffer a check
in their growth, tend to turn yellow
II otherwise show a sickly condition.
Oftentimes this condition is accom-
panied by an attack of alfalfa rust or
spot disease. The best remedy for
such a condition is to NOW the field.
The vigorous growth thus induced may
overcome the diseased condition.
