Japs Communicata by Kite,


 The Japanese recently flew large kite into the Russian lines. The kite was covered with photographs showing the treatment of Russian prisoners in Ja- pan. It was evidently intended to at- tract the Russian soldiers.
 Dispatches from General Kuropatkin to the czar report that the Japanese have attacked the central Russian po- sitions on the Fan river. which is ten miles south of Tie pass, and were re- pulsed. leaving 1000 dead on the field. The magnificent brigade of Cau casian Cossacks who bore the brun, of the fighting at Mukden were prac- tically annihilated. Only two of the officers survive. All belonged to the St. Petersburg nobility. and hence many of the highest families in Russia are in mourning. Generals BilderlinR. Linevitch and Eaulbars have reached Tieling with a large number of troops in good order. A Harbin report says that General Kuropatkin has only 10000 troops organized and able to take the field. He does not believe it will be possible to remain at Tieling and prefers to in trench himself at Harbin. where he could keep in touch with vladivostok- Captain w V- Judson and Colonel V. Havard.

STORE BURNED.
Postofice and Railway Sta. ton Combined, May be
 Work of Burglars.

Stamford, March 16.-The large country store, postoffice and railroad station combined, situated at Spring dale on the New Canaan division of the New York, New Haven x Hart ford railroad, was gutted by fire to- day, causing loss of $11,OOO.

 In the postoffice department all mail matter was destroyed with the excep- ton of the registered mail, which was in the safe. A large number of rail road tickets were also destroyed.
 It is thought to be the work of burg lars who. after robbing the store, set the fire to cover up their tracks.

rle was in progress north of Tie pass. That General KurOpatkin was taken by surprise is a, fair inference from the manner ih which. on Tuesday night he abandoned the Fan river positions, leaving so hurriedly that he again was obliged to burn his stores to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Japanese. 1!a,.s.e ',..-.s' . t
 It is evident the Japanese struck in from west of the LiaO river. Tie pass is practically the gate where the moun- tains and Liao river meet, and it con- mands the whole country northward. With the Japanese in behind the Rus
 sian army at Tie pass, General KurO. patkin's position is etremely critical.

Do you appreciate the force of that
declaration?
Suppose on the contrary, you say,
II am sick Keep on SAYING it.
Begin to believe it. You will end
in your bed.
Yes, there is something in Chris
tian Science. There is something in
the New Thought, or Suggestive
Therapeutics. These systems con-
tain the germ of great truth-the
influence of the mind over the body.
More than that.
The mind influences itself. 1t i'll
tiuences itself by the subtle power of
suggcstinn-the foundation of hyp-

So it will not do to say that it

But
1t is II workable power and every

THE FIRST IMPRESSION.

When IA young man makes applica.
ton for a position, much of his sue.
cess depends upon the sort of impress
sion he makes upon the man of whom
he seeks employment.
We have in mind one young man,
who, standing before the desk of "A
managing editor said:
II have applied for position in II
dozen newspaper offices and half
that many stores. No one will listen
to me. | can't get Il hearing. | need
work very badly. The best | have
been able to get is We have moth
ing for you; good morning | am
discouraged.
And this is what the man behind
the desk said. 1t was not the ts-
sence of wisdom, just simple, hard
sense:
you came in with your hat on,
and you kept it on. You didn't even
show the man at the desk the cour-
tesy of throwing away the butt end
of cigarette that you had been
smoking. You asked for a place in
the literary department, which prov
ed that you had made no investiga-
ton of the office you desired to EN-
ter. When questioned you had the
most hazy idea OF the position you
desired to fill, and you gave the i'm
preston that you were looking for a
soft jOb-that you We're born tired.
You really asked for charity, for in
no way did you show or attempt to
show that you expected to earn any
salary that might be paid you.
''If you want to work and grow
and be somebody, tell the next man
SO. Tell him that you will gladly
take Il humble position, and that the
hours and the salary are of small
moment, when compared with the
opportunity. Make him feel that
you are in earnest by being in
earnest. Take off your hat and cut
out the cigarette. And if you don't
get a place the first time, try again,
and keep on trying,
"Some day, after you have landed
near the top, and the fellows are
coming to you for situations, you
can tell them this, that you have
learned by years of experience:

who is seeking something to show
that he is every inch Il man, and in

Governor Broward, with several of
his official family, has been ON IA
tour of the Everglades, that almost
impenetrable wilderness of bog. wa
ter and saw grass which covers a
great portion of Dade county. The
good governor wants to secure this
swamp by drainage canals and
thereby enrich the state by several
millions Of acres of land unuuestinu-
ably rich. Some portions of the
Everglades are as much as 70 feet
above sea level, and Ex-Gov. Jen-
nihgs, who is lawyer and ought to
know, says the drainage plan is feas-
ible. The News likes the way Gov.
BrOward takes hold of the reins of
government, and it is nothing to his
discredit that he should tackle such
n giant problem as the drainage of the
Everglades, but we do hope he will
go a little slow in the matter and
not let the contract until he has
expert engineering opinion regarding
its practicability and probable cost.

one of the most profitable which can
be generally grown.
Another vegetable which might be
made to bring profit to Florida
growers, but which is almost entire
ly neglected, is water cress. IL
grows wild in many of our small
streams where it has escaped from
cultivation. 1t is therefore easily
procured by those desiring a start,
though there is il general complaint
among hotel men of the impossihility
of finding supply during the tour
list season. 1t requires no care eX-
cept the mere transplanting to the
banks of water courses. The yield
OF frequent crops is large, and the
prices paid are so liberal us to offer
excellent Inducements. The seed
may be sown in beds and the young
plants afterN ards be transplanted.
The pal@nip is another vegetable
which seems to me to be overlooked
by fur too frequently. Properly
cooked it is one of the most delicious
of garden products The demand for
it is constant, and it is us easily rO-
