VICTORY FOR THE laps

Ihe greatest eattle OF mouern
times ends in a complete vic
tory for the Japanese over the
Russian forces. These two vast
armies, aggregating over 100, 900
men, all winter have faced each
other and each side has used its ut
most endeavors to strengthen its
position, to secure an abundance OF
provisions and war material IN order
to be ready for the final effort.
After the fall of Port Arthur the
Japanese sent the remnant of that val
liant army under Kurokl to strength
en- the forces of Oyama. The Rus
SLAMS have been taxing the Siberian
railroad to its utmost capacity In
sending men and supplies to Kuro-
f patkin ever since the war began.
The two large armies with their
immense equipment of artillery and
machines of war and destruction.
have Joined issues IN a desperate
battle, which has ragged with great
ferceness for the past ten days
The Japanese we're the aggressor;
and won signal victories almost be-
fore the Russians knew tney were
on the move. The fight has beer
one of unusual fierceness and brav

Men have charged against al
most impresnable breastworks ane
fallen like grass. Other columns
form at once and charge over th'
bodies of their fallen comrads, th'
bulk of the column joins the mas
of silent dead while a scattered
remnant is hurled back like chat
before that hurricane OF shot ant
shell. But still other columns ad
vance, one after another till tn
ground is piled high with the dea'

breastworks to protect the living.

CHINESE PHYSICIANS.
They Prepare Many Medicines, and
Some Of Them Are Very Bit
ter DecOCAiOns.

The taking Of first dose Of Chinese
medicine is an ordeal which can be bet
ter Imagined than described. 1t is in
variably bitter decoction, says Lip
pincott's. If the patient prefers, the
herbs are given him in square paste
board boxes holding about pint each,
and he cooks" them at home. A
Chinese prescription contains from ten
to sixteen varieties Of herbs, flowers,
nuts, gums, barks and roots. More
than 5000 species are classified and
used as medicine, but OF these only
some 600 are in general use. Whether
the patient takes the remedies at the
sanitarium or at home, he is requested
to present himself every day before
the doctor for another pulse examina-
ton, so that every change in his con-
dition may be noted and the prescnp-
ton may be varied accordingly. The
Chinese are clever chemists in the Line
of pharmaceutical preparations. and
prepare many medicines for their own
use in the form of pills and powders;
but these are employed by the Chinese
physicians in treating the ailments OF
white people only to limited extent.
The reason given is that the simple, hot
decoctions Of the fresh root or plant
are the best form, because the most
readily assimilated into the system.

High School Notes.

Every one is enjoying the beau
tlful weather especially the differ
ent athletic teams. Base bal
practice has we'll begun. Capt
Hanley gets his men out twice {
a week and they are working hare
and are going to try their best t(
gain the inter-high school cham
pionship.
The basket ball season is practi
cally over as it is beginning TO gel
too warm for girls to take sucl
violent exercise. An effort was
made to arrange game with the
Lafayette girls but they were un
able to come over.
On last Tuesday DR.. j. B. Hull
visited the school and brought his
fine microscope and a number OF
specimens, to show to the ninth
grade class in physiology. They
all enjoyed his visit very much
and thank him for his instructive
and entertaining lecture.

pl eparing olations now. and work
will be begun in track training

The next open session has been
postponed until after Lent. The
Junior Class is preparing a play
"Too much of Good Thing" and
there will be other numbers of IN
tereat among them "a Mother
Goose Play by the Fifth and
Sixth Grades.
Flowers have been planted In
front of the High School building
and would perhaps be very pretty
at some future time if people
would refrain from walking over
the bed. Seems that they would
prefer TO walk on the new pave
ment.

ISLANDERS. 1.-The only question is wheth-
er the mans got the wit to see the
chance and the grit to make use Of
it."
"Well, even that isn't always neceS-
sary. I was out on the frontier some
years back when a young fellow I
knew to be a white head was pro-
NOTED in his regiment and Photographed
in all the eastern papers for his cour-
age and coolness. He had been sent
out to meet an attacking party Of In
dams. He didn't want to go bit. He
actually trembled when he confessed
to me it was his first Call to dangerous
duty and he'd give anything on earth
to be out of the affair. In less than
twenty-four hours the station was ring
ing with the way he had held his
ground, even when his men had beat
q retreat. 1t was a miracle he wasn't
captured or killed, staying there single
handed to face and fire on the advanc-

M. Paul Stapfer in the Mercure de

Hugo's after dinner monologues. The
pose of the man accustomed to an ex-
pectation Of big utterances, Of meta
physical suggestions, is well conveyed
in the quotations. Victor Hugo, it Is
hardly necessary to observe, was dis
t1nctly a prophet in his own country
as well as abroad. By. 9 in the evening,
says M. Stapfer, Victor Hugo had
warmed to his work. He burst forth:

''Pearls are not found In oysters
alone. Sometimes" said a lapidary,
"they are found in cocoanuts. I once
cut a cocoanut pearl. It was the size Of
a pea, and its quality was good. It re-
sembled an oyster pearl, only 1t, was a
little duller. Cocoanut pearls are found
In the heart Of the nut. 1t is thought
that they are formed by the hardening
Of the nuts flesh. They are, so to
speak, kind Of crystallized tumor or

rarer than oyster pearls. They are also
cheaper than oyster pearls, being less
hard and less transparent. ."-Philadel-

Long winded oratory.

It is no new thing for the house Of
commons to suffer from long winded ora
tory. AS long ago as the sixteenth cen
tury Queen Bess soundly rated her law
makers for not working more and talk
ing less, and some years later Speaker
Long actually succumbed to success
sion Of lengthy speeches. "The house
is empty, and so be our stomachs,"
one impatient member declared. II
pray you, therefore, adjourn the de-
bate for an hour" But the speaker de-
clined to bulge from the post Of duty,
with the result that he was taken i'll
and died shortly after. Brougham once
spoke for six hours on end on law re-
form, Sheridan and Gladstone both
have records Of five hour speeches, Mr..
Biggar tied their record, and Palmer
ston once held forth for four hours and
q half on Don Pacifco.

The first thing that strikes the stran-

him unpleasantly is the. bells. Not on
ly does every cow, goat and sheep
wear It's bell, but when they are all
shut up for the winter and we hope for
little rest then comes the Internal,
eternal din from every cart, carriage,
sleigh, omnibus and all other kinds of
vehicle which ply for hire or otherwise.
No doubt they become a necessity on
the silent highways as winter progress

Trees shrinlk ana Expand.

Perhaps 1t is more interesting than
strictly useful to know that the diane
ter of trees not only varies from sum-
mer to winter, but from day to day.
They are larger from noon until twi-
light next morning than from twilight
to noon; they are smaller In winter
than in summer. Low temperatures, as
well as high, promote evaporation. The
trees evaporate from their branches in
winter. and so the colder the weather
the more they shrink.
