REMOVING THE
STUMBLING BLOCK
A Rift In the Cloud That Has How.
cred Over Peace Conference.
CHANCE FOR AGREEMENT YET
Thc Proposition Regarding b Re-
ccssiOn Of the Northern Half Of
sakhmIin island Was Not
Fully understOOd.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 29.-The press
dispatch from Portsmouth declaring
that President Roosevelt was author
1zed, seevral days ago, on behalf OF ia
pan, to waive all claim for indemnity
or reimbursement of the cost Of the
war, and to cede back to Russia tn.
northern half Of the island Of Sakhalin,
leaving the redemption" price Of 1t to
the arbitration of a mixed commission,
was received too late here last night
to reach the general public, but its sig
nifcance was instantly recognized In
the quarters where it became known.
May Remove stumbling Block.
There is every reason to believe,
Judging from the official expressions
persistently given out by the foreign
Office since the beginning of the negoti-
atoms al Portsmouth, that this PROPOSE
ton by japan to waive the question Of
indemnity goes far toward removing
the last, and, according to official ex.
plantations, the only stumbling block in
The way Of peace.
The foreign Office has said that every
disputed point between Rusa.a and ia
pan. with the exception of payment of
indemnity, had practically been ar
ranged on a basis tatiofactory to both
sides, but hat Russia would never pay
an indemnity.
There's an Important "If," However.
II the latest proposals Of Japan mean
that she valves all claims to indemnity
of any kind or description, giving up all
idea of reimbursement for the expenses
of the val in any guise whatever, and
in place thereof Is prepared to accept
for the restoration to Russia of the
northern half of Sakhalin, a redemption
price to be fixed by an unbiased COM
mission. this price to be determined up.
on the actual value of the island and,
not to take into account Japan's
war expenses or to carry a concealed
Indemnity to Japan. there is reason for
the assertion that in all probability ia
pans proposal was never understood
here in this way, and for the deduction.
Accord to the Russian official state
ment. that the stumbling block to peace
can be removed, and that there ought
&c be a new and promising basis for the
continuance OF the negotiation.

JAPAN PUTS TT UP TO RUSSIA.
The Latest Japnnesc Proposition
VIII SHIFT IN burden.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 29.-Baron
Komura. acting upon instructions re-
ceived from Toxic As a result OF the
meeting of the cabinet and 'elder
statesmen" under the direct presidency
of the emperor of Japan, to submit
to Mr.. Witte a new basis of compro-
mise, and that compromise, it Is firmly
believed, will insure peace.
The revelation tina Japan had al
ready informed Emperor Nicholas,
through Ambassador Meyer, that Japan
was ready to waive the question of in
demnity and submit the price to be paid
for the northern half of Sakhalin to the
judgment of a mixed commission, but
prepared the way for Japan's back
down upon the main issue. The an
nouncenent had been the sensation of
the dayq. 1t had met with denials high
and low. 1t was declared to be impossi-
BILE. incredible. The japanese declined
20 admit 1t and the Russians said they
had no confirmation. Mr.. Witte init
mated strongly that ST. Petersburg had
no appraised him of any such action by
the president. There was even a dis.
potion to ridicule the idea of arbitrating
the price of half Of the island, Never
itheless on all hands 1t was admitted If
japan took this position, the ground
was cut out from under Emperor Mich
,olas.
Mr.. WHITE, by consummatc skill In
conceding all the demands of Japan in
voiving the real issues of the war. had
Unanswered his adversaries into a 20
sition where, unless they abandoned the
claim for indemnity. they could be held
responsible for continuing the wal fol
money.
The Japanese by o foregoing the
demand for indemnity. nav practically
turned tho tables upon Russia and shift,
ed the burden back to her shoulders

DUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoniacal
fiendish malice on those who use 1t.
A lady writing from Calf. says
my husband and !, both lovers OF
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness, ac-
companied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort Of az
lection of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
IL was unable TO hold my head up
straight, the tension Of the nerves drew
1t to one side. causing me the most in
tense pain. We got no relief from
medicine. and were puzzled as to what
caused the trouble. till a friend sug-
gested that possibly the coffee we
drank had something to do with 1t,
and advised that We quit 1t and try
Postum Coffee.
1--WE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and In
q very short time both Of us were en-
tirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more. the headache ceased,
the muscles In the back of my neck re-
Taxed, my head Strengthened up. and
the dreadful pain that had so punished
me while l used the old kind ct coffee
vanished.
1--WE have never resumed the use OF
the old coffee. but relish our Postum
every day as we'll IS we did the former
beverage. And we are delighted to find
that We can give 1t freely to our chill
dren, also. something we never dared
to do with the old kind of coffee

The expression 'as fiat as fluon-
der has become proverbial, but it
does not apply to very young fioun-
ders, which differ SO much from the
adult ones that they can hardly be
recognized as belonging to the same
family as their parents. Most boys
and girls are familiar with full-srown
founders, but very few of them, and
few older people, know anything about
the appearance of young founders and
the wonderful transformations they
undergo.
The founders begin life as do
ordinary fishes. When they first
emerge from the egg they swim YER
tically, with the head turned upward.
Their bodies are symmetrical and
their eyes are on opposite sides OF
the head. Gradually the position of
the body changes from vertical to hori-
zontal, and the fish remains thus for
some time, swimming like ordinary
fishes; but while still very small there
is foreshadowing of the bottom life
they are destined for, and they enter
upon a series of remarkable changes.
The most striking of these changes

Violet cordial, a liquor beloved OF
Yorkshiremen, is one of the best or the
home-brewed drinks. Made from fresh
ly-plucked sweet violets, it is often
kept for years by farmers, who drink
it sparingly in tiny glasses, yet 1t re-
tains all the delicious aroma of the
fragrant flower from which it takes
its name.
Homemade sloe wine Is a drink
which takes a lot of beating as a

CoWslip wine Is another prime favor
tie unknown to the inhabitants OF
cities. So, too, are host of teas,
famous in rural parts not only for
their refreshing, but also for their
curative powers.
Years ago, before the tea from
India and China could be bought
cheaply, beverages brewed from mint,
pennyroyal, dandelion, wild thyme,
marjoram, camomile, balm, calamint
and similar herbs, were almost uni
versal.
Even to-day their fame is not dead,
and they are frequently resorted to
by housewives in hot weather, and
when any small ailment shows itself
in their families.

and becomes more and more oblique.
