London, Jan. 18.-The Express cor

interview with General Stoessel, in the
course of which the general said:
"The loss of 203-meter hill and the
subsequent capture of the forts, COM
5ined with the deadly workmanship
with the terrible eleven-inch shells,
the depressing effect of the death of
General Kondratenko and the fearful
increase of scurvy really fixed the

true that I dissented from the unani-
nous decision OF the final council OF

lief were never answered"

The correspondent adds that con-
versation with other Russian officers
reveals great bitterness against and de-
nunciations of Viceroy Alexieff for his
failure to properly fortify Port Ar
thur and "his cowardly fight by the
last train from the fortress. They say
the torpedoboat destroyers that es-
capped before the surrender carried all

incapacity and folly Of the government
in entering upon the war and declare
that all the men who return TO Russia
from Port Arthur are revolutionists

and blowing hard A man turned the
Metropole corner into Broadway. A

ran after it and pinned it to the side

of which punctured the crown. AS
he picked up the hat another gust of

He clutched to save some part Of it.
In doing so the hat fell from his grasp
and the wind carried it upon tracK,
where a car wheel passed over it,
dividing the hat in two. In fifteen
seconds he was without hat or an

! tion, we are surprised to see how
quickly we can evoke a smile.
In ourselves--in the men and wom-
en- of the world-lies a power to
largely change the conditions which
make us call that sorrowful which
God meant to be glad, or at worse
peacefully content. The centering OF
all our interests Upon ourselves, the
giving up Of our whole minds to re-
gret and self pity, not only clouds and
darkens our own atmosphere, but
even reaches a point where we sep
arate ourselves from our dear dead
by thinking far less Of them than Of
our own loneliness and loss. Uncon-
sciously many widow, though she
believes herself devoted entirely to
the memory Of her husband, is wholly
absorbed in herself, and shuts out the
reflection Of the joy she solemnly
says she believes to be his portion as
truly as she shuts out Gods sunshine
by the Grape which covers her face.
Poverty, the grind of hard work,
loss, are not productive Of joyous
spirit and a light heart. II they are
our burdens, the least inspired spirit
can detect the folly Of bending under
them; if they are our neighbors the
dullest mind can see that every help
our hand can give eases not this
mans trial alone, but gives out little
Joy to all in touch with him.
Either we are altogether hopelessly
mistaken in every argument Of the
Christian theory Of life, or IT is un-
questionably true that, whatever may
puzzle or discourage us, this earth
was created for the beautiful abode OF
than death, that good is mightier than
happy, grateful creatures, who are
sure that light is stronger than dark
ness, that love and life are stronger
