No human being can come into this
world without increasing or diminish
ing the sum total of human happiness
not only of the present but every sub
segment age Of humanity. No one can
detach himself from this connection.
There is no sequestered spot in the uni
verse. no dark niche along the disk of
nonexistenee to which he can retreat
from his relations to others, where he
can withdraw the influence of his ex-
lstence upon the moral destiny of the
world. Everywhere his presence or alb
sence will be felt Everywhere he will
have companions who will be better or
worse for his influence. 1t Is an old
saying and one of fearful and fathom-
less import that we are forming char
acters for eternity. Forming charac-

peril and responsibility of our exist

THE BATTLE OF THE YALu
One of the Queer Incidents of This
Great Naval Conflict.


Great Naval Conflict.
This strange incident of a great ma
val battle was told by Commissioner
McGiffin of one of the Chinese war
ships in the battle of the Yalu between
the Chinese and japanese fleets in
1894: About this time the Chin Yuen
boldly If somewhat foolhardily bore
down on the Japanese squadron's line.
Just what happened no one seems to
know, but apparently she was struck
below the water line by q heavy shell,
either a ten inch or thirteen inch.
Be that as 1t may, she took heavy
list, and, thus fatally injured, her COM
mander, Tang Shi Chen, most cour-
ageous albeit a most obstinate officer,
resolved at least to avenge himself and
charged one of the largest of the en-
emy's ships, intending to ram.
"A hurricane of prOjectileS from both
heavy and machine guns swept down
upon his ship. The list became more
pronounced, and just before getting
home to his intended victim his ship
rolled over and then plunged bow first
into the depths. She righted herself as
she sank, her screws whirling in the
air and carrying down all hands, in
Guiding her chief engineer, Mr.. Purvls
shut up in the engine room. Seven OF
her crew chung to one of the circular
life buoys kept on the bridge and were
drifted by the tide toward the coast
where they were rescued by a junk.
"Stories told by these men vary Sc
much as to be unreliable. but all agree
on one incident: Captain Tang had
large dog Of most vicious temper, un
ruly at times even with his master
After the ship sank Captain Tang
who could not swim, managed to ge
an oar or some small piece of wood

ter Than an English Expert.
Lucius Poole, brother of William
Poole, the librarian whose name is per-
petuated In "Poole's Index" was
known throughout the country for his
rare skill in restoring and repairing old
documents and reprints. He lived for
thirty years in a house at the south
end, Boston, with three congenial
spirits, one collector of Dickensana.
the second Of Napoleonana and the
third collector of first editions.
Poole was a collector, too, of books,
letters and programmes relating to the
stage. He had remarkable faculty
for matching old paper and could put
corner or patch on a letter or a
playful so neatly that it could be no
ticed only under a magnifying glass.
Mr. Poole's famous feat of splitting a
magazine page into four leaves or lay
ers was brought about by an English
inlayer, who showed Mr.. Poole a page
split in three leaves with the printing
on it unmarried The American said
that he could do all that the Englishman
had done. and more, and after some
experim . IS produced a page Of the
Century Magazine split in four leaves.
This was taken to London by book
collector, who had gone abroad to add
to his library, and after the page had
been the rounds of the clubs there it
was sent to Paris and caused the
Frenchmen to wonder.-Portland Ad-

pressed little Adelina to sing Adelina,

said, "Sing, and I'll do anything you

ETIQUETTE OF CALLS.
Some of the Things That Are and Ar
Mot In Good Taste


Some of the Things That Are and Are
Not In Good Taste.
Every one is aware that a married
woman when paying formal call on
another married couple leaves two of
her husbands cards in the hall when
coming in or going out.
But every one does not know that
when the hostess is widow only one
card should be left.
Punctilious people always call at a
house from whence they have received
an invitation, and this whether it has
been declined or accepted. But with
the one exception of returning O first
call which should be done as reason
ably soon as possible, the question as
to what time should elapse between
social visits is one that must be left
to the good taste and good sense OF
the caller.
Many people with large and in
creasing circle keep a book In which
they note. the date of their calls, and IL

Anton Rubinstein had this to say in

Il think ladies ought never to study
music as an art. At least they ought
not to take up the time of teachers who
are able to teach and make true artists.
And will tell you why. There is no
question but there are twenty musical
ladies to one musical man, and my own
experience is that they learn more
quickly, have more poetry and, in fact,
are more diligent pupils than men. But
what is the invariable result? When
