4 few minutes later We saw another ship go down, and again the cheers rolled over the Japan Sea. Many of ths battleships, cruisers and destroyers were injured in succession, until the Russians began to lose courage and started to flee to the northeast.
 Our ships had the superiority in speed, 50 that we were able to head them off in that direction. Most of them tried to escape toward Matsu Shima and the Corean coast, but our victorious squadrons constantly pressed upon them and held them like mice in a bag.
 More of the Russian ships were sunk, some caught fire, some were damaged in tilsir engines, and others were float ing about helplessly, having lost their rudders. Before sunset less than half of them remained undaanaged. Was it by Heavens help or by human skill alone that our ships came out of the fight safely, with but one or two slight inju- ries?
 So the day ended.
 Toward sunset our destroyers and torpedo boats began their work. They were divided into several attachments, several fiotillas cooperating in each. Flotilla No. - with - at its head made a. dash at the enemy's ships.
 The boldest attempt of all was made by No. - which rsceived shot in the engine room and became uncontrolla- ble. The Russians turned their search lights upon her and poured their fire into her like torrents of rain.
 One man was instantly killed and fif- teen received serious wounds. All the crew thought that their last hour had come and resigned themselves to their fate.
 They turned their faces toward the flagship and folded their hands to pay their last respects to the flag, but not withstanding the searchlights and the furious fire of the enemy our casualties were unexpectedly small, and the boat was able to escape.
 The following day a detachment of our vessels surrounded a number of Russian ships and inflicted great dam- age upon them. Some were sunk.
 The Dmitri Donskoi caught fire twice and appeared to be damaged in her en- zines. She fioated about helplessly surrounded by our boats. in the neigh borhood of Matsu Sihina.
 We signalled her to surrender, but she refused, and began to land her men upon the island. An order was given to torpedo her and shortly afterward she was struck by two torpedoes and blown to pieces. We then landed a force to rescue the Russians upon the island, who surrendered themselves without any resistance.
 In this way, by the fighting and pur- suit of the 7th and 18th, and by the night attack of the 27th, the entire Russian squadron was virtually anni- Inflated.

lingering any about taking advantage of it. Fearing that might awaken the black at the door by attempting to leave that way, and not caring to ven ture out in the glare of the fire, began to Wriggle out of window. It was a hard job, and twice at least I made so much noise that it was 8 miracle the guards didn't awaken, but they slept soundly, and in few minutes I found myself outside the hut. Cautiously I crept among the huts to the forest close by, and then turned toward the river, where I had seen a number of log boats of various sizes when we landed. It was probable they were guarded, but felt that the only means for making my escape, if had any at all, rested in securing one of those boats. I realized that my chances of reaching them without detection were small, indeed, but 1t would be better to meet death trying to get away than to supinely await it as a captive. That was the way felt as I crept slowly to- ward the bank, but good luck was with me, for if the boats were guarded the sentinels slept, and in a few minutes had united the vine rope which bound one of the small boats to the bank, se- cured paddle and was making all the speed possible down the stream.
 Il never was very good at sculling, but that morning I drove my heavy
 little craft through the water at such rate that, aided by the current, I'll wager made ten or twelve miles in the hour or so just before dawn. My intention, formed after I had secured the boat, was to row as ar as possible until the sun was just about up, and then, drawing my boat up into the un- derbrush, hide during the day and con-

Ndinand de Lesseps used to tell
how a Frenchman came to his aid when
he was struggling against Palmerston's
opposition to the SueZ canal. The man,
who was total stranger, walked into
his Office one day and drew out of his
pocket wallet stuffed with bank notes.
Monsieur" said he, y boz the privi.
lege of being allowed to subscribe to-
ward the railway of the island of Swe.
den" But, monsieur" said Lesseps,
1T is not a railroad; it's a canal It's
not an island, but an isthmus. 1t is
not in Sweden, but at Suez." Il don't
care what it is or where it is" said the
capitalist, $50 long as it worries Eng
land Put me down, l say"
But Lesseps had little reason to make
fun of this episode if the picture his
own son draws of him be true. Becom-
ing incensed at some attack made on
him in the British parliament and be-
Ing inadequately provided with means
to express his rage, his mind suddenly
reverted to his linen collar, which was
of English make. He tore it from his
neck. dashed it upon the floor and
danced on it, all for hatred of the is-
land it came from.

A Traveller says that one of the first
things which struck him on his arrival
of sunhower seed consumed in that
country. Tie seeds, which are olea-
ginous and have an agreeable taste,
are constantly chewed by the people.
The outer husk is detached with the
teeth and spat out. These husks are
seen scattered about on payements and
garden walks. in railway carriages,

of restaurants and private rooms On

everywhere is covered with them. At

done in the seeds by old women.

The sleep of Plants.

The leaves of the common clover give
a good example of what Linnaeus call
ed the sleep of plants At sunset the
two side leaflets of each set of three
bend forward until their edges nearly
meet. when the middle leaflet droops
downward to touch them and completes
the picture of repose.
Some of the bean family assume as
perfect postures of rest. The wistaria
hangs the end and central leafet of
each cluster directly downward. point
ing to the earth. while the side leaflets
drop in double rows, back to back. The
leaves of the scarlet runner have a
similar habit. The willow foliage
twists into a position that is almost
vertical, and the leaves of the vine are
raised slightly at their edges and de-
pressed toward the center.
All such sleeping foliage is singularly
rigid and retains the position which it
has assumed. This persistence is due
TO the presence of water in the tissues
of the leaves. At dawn of day the
plants awaken. and their leaves re-
sumo their ordinary attitude.

Strange thing but do you know that
deaf persons never get seasick?" said
an old surgeon in the employ of one of
the transatlantic lines recently. This
was found out" he said, when a whole
class of deaf mutes went abroad some
years ago. and, despite a particularly
rough passage, none of them wanted
to lie on the deck and beg somebody to
heave them overheard.
THAT'S the seasick feeling, you
know. little investigation proved
that the stomach nerves are mostly
controlled by those of the ear, and that
deaf persons are not nearly so liable to
the nausea that comes from the rolling
motion of a ship as are others.
THE experiment of saturating ball
of cotton with cocaine and thus dulling
the hearing has been tried by ship sur
geons since. Ii gives relief to those who
dread any sort of sea voyage: but,
after all, the best way to do is to feed
the fishes and get ove t."--Philadel-

When Mike left the employ of Broth
er Bubbles. who keeps a country store
and also farms it. in Washington
county. Me, he owed considerable
balance to Brother Bubbles. Mike
seemed quite willing to forget about it,
but more intimate acquaintance of
Brother Bubbles never lost faith that
the account would be squared in due
time
After Brother Bubbles had ceased
even to drop gentle hints about the
little bill Mike became the owner of a
single lusty hog of which he was in
ordinately proud. He Dragged about
it increasingly, and Brother Bubbles
made a friendly call one day to see it
and praised the hog in a way that de-
lighted the heart of the lucky owner.
Cant see how We got him so fat.
Mike" said Brother Bubbles. Mine
don't I'll out that way. | guess it
takes an Irishman to bring up a pig
Then after Il pause Brother Bubbles
added: I've got shote I'll give We if
you want it. l should like to see what
We can do with my stock"
There is an old saying that sets
forth the danger of trusting the Greeks
even when they offer gifts, but Mike
had never heard it. At the first OPP
portunity he went over to Brother
Bubbles barn and brought away the
sorriest looking shote that ever lived.
The next day Brother Bubbles lev.
led on the big hog. The law would
not have permitted him TO do that 50
long as Mike was the owner of only
one pig.
