st. Petersburg, April 1S.-There is
no information from Vice Admiral Ro-
iestvensky's squadron, but the adj
miralty would not be surprised TO
learn of skirmishing between scout
ships to-day or tomorrow and the or
ganization of torpedo boat warfare
soon is not unexpected. The naval or

Rumor of an Engagement.
London, April 1S.-There is as yet
no news of a naval battle in the Far
East, or of the whereabouts of the
rival fleets. The Hongkong cores
pendent of the Daily Mail sends a
rumor of a small engagement, but
there is no confirmation of this report.
Details regarding the Russian ships
in Kamrunh bay, Cochin-China, are
too meager to be instructive.
Must Maintain Neutrality.
The presence of the Russian squad
ron off the AMMAN coast is arousing
keen interest here in view of the pos
sibility of their infringing Chinese neu-
trailty and of the likelihood of Rojest-
vensky having had to split his squad
ron. The Morning Posts correspond
ent at Shanghai telegraphs that China
has instructed the governors of the
southern provinces to maintain strict
neutrality in view of the possibility of
the Russian ships sheltering there.

the palace of the great lama, in

4S7 feet in height. In stately grandeur
and massiveness it is one of the most
imposing structures reared by man.
The building contains 5000 rooms,
many of them being of great size. It
is painted white, except a central Dor
ton near the top, which includes the
apartments of the chief inmate. 1t is
reported on good authority that the
roofs are covered with plates of solid
gold that present dazzling effulgence

its vastness, however, there is moth

pincushion and part manicure set.
This convenient article, small as it is,
also contains the most essential items
Of work baskets furnishings.
First cut four heart shaped pieces
of cardboard exactly the same size
Two of these are left i4tact and the
other two are cut in two lengthwise,
from the apex-that is, to the central
point between the two lobes. Cover
the two hearts and the four half
hearts neatly inside and out, over
handing along the edges. A figured
material for the outside and a plain
one for the inside is attractive.
Across one of the whole hearts sew
straight band of ribbon from side to
side. oyerhanding 1t on the two edges.
Catch the ribbon at intervals so as
to make three holders for nail file,
scissors and orange stick. Cut out
and sew to the inside of the other
whole heart a smaller heart of white
flannel, inside OF which sew a still
smaller heart of white flannel. To
hide the stitches by which these
pieces are fastened you may chain
stitch or brler stitch AN edge on the
flannel. In these pieces pins, needles,
safety pins. ETC., may be placed.
Across each section of the half
hearts on the inside sew a band of
ribbon from the lobes to the center of
the heart, so that the ribbon meets in
peak when the two pieces of the
heart are put together. Catch the
ribbon down, so that cards Of darning
cotton, black and white thread and a
powder paper book may be stuck in
the pieces securely.
Overland the two sections of the
cut hearts together so that they will
fold together on each other Then
tack the four hearts together at the
apex. The two cut hearts will then
fold inward on each other so that they
come together in the center when you
