Portsmouth, and the Franco-Russian alliance again gave assurance of Eu- ropean peace The German machinery for the creation of alarm at once ceas- ed to work. Another line was adopted.
 According to M. de Cyon Prince Buelow's overtures to the Paris press were aimed at the Anglo-Japanese af> Iiance. Germany seeking the co-opera- tion of Russia and France. But Rus sia, he says, is prevented by insur- mountable obstacles from entering on that perilous path. The only policy for Russia is one of recuperation, but that will not stay the march of events, which soon, he thinks, will demand the attention of the whole world. Among them is the problem of the Austrian succession. The only course open to the Czar, he argues, is the maintenance in its integrity of the Franco Russian alliance and the conclusion of an en- tente with England"

St Petersburg. enter Port Arthur dur the seige, come out, and return by sea to Russia in a very short time-three months, if my memory serves me. The stakes were worth something 900 rubles-abpHt S125,O0O. Unfortunately the sportsman was only successful up to the very last day. When he came to claim his winnings the banker who had made the bet was a bankrupt.
 Mir. Lomakime, a rich Muscovite, had sworn to eat his boots if the Japanese were not obliged to sue for peace be- fore July l of last year. Unfortunate Muscovite! He made his bet after a good dinner in February. One of his guests wagered him 800 rubles that, if lost, he would not carry out his pro- mise On July 2, 1904, MT. Lomakine was perplexed. It is even credible that he had been in the same state as long ago as June 30. But as a heric sportsman he desired to carry out his obligations. He had not sworn to eat his boots at sitting, so he had them cut up into thin strips, which were cooked and served up at. his meals. It was on November 20 that he came to the end of this diet. His adversary, it is said, generously let him off the nails. The Grand Magazine.

The story of some Jewish musicians is perhaps the most dramatic of all. During the battle, of Tueng-Tchan the Pope Chtcherbakofsky raised aloft a cross, the sacred symbol of the vic tory Of the spirit, and went off to die at the head of the troops. The band was playing aRd the sound of the trumpets mingled with the terrible thunder of the wild fusillade. The dying and wounded musicians kept falling (the orchestra was almost ex- clusiVely composed of Jews); but their comrades (Jews also) went on playing, and only the interruption of some note indicated that another musician had fallen, struck by a bullet or mutilated by the explosion of a shell. Half these braves had already been struck when the heroic priest let his arms fall The bullets had not spared him either, and the golden cross no longer pointed out to the troops the sacred object of their sacrifice. Is the priest dead? Not yet. One minute passes The cross glistens once more. Two Jewish musicians are supporting the arms of the enfeebled Pope. They continue to support him until all three are struck down. And during several minutes this extraordinary spectacle is be- held; Jews lifting up the Christian Pope, falling with him, other Jews lift ing up the cross itself, the rallying symbol for the advance. What a strong irony! But the poor fellows were not going to embark upon con troversy about Christian dogmas, and they continued to exhibit the cross un- til they were mown down in their turn. This Pope was the unpronounceable name Chtherbakofsky, was hero. But these unknown Jewish musicians who supported him were not less heroic.
 Wagers were very numerous among the Russians. Among other heroic sportsmen we hear of a captain Of cavalry who undertook to travel from

The Japanese Russian War Supplied
 Many New Ones.
 A writer in 'Je Sais Tout has col lected number of stories of modest bravery during the Russo-Japanese war. An officer of Cossacks offered to carry dispatch which ten horseman had already failed to get through. The general remarked bitterly that the ef- fort was useless. The others have failed" the officer insisted, because they travelled on horseback. I shall go under my horse.' Under your Ihorse?" The General was astOnished; but this prudent way of riding very popular with Circassians when they wish to surpass anyone. The offer was finally accepted. He received the communion, said his prayers, bade gOod-by to his men. and started off in the middle of the night, strapped face downward underneath the horse, which he guided by means of the bridal through the fore-legs. The Japanese | whistled to what they thought was a riderless horse. But the animal, egg ed on by blows from the officers heels, accomplished the journey of twenty five to thirty-five miles in safety Stranger still, he officer accomplished the return journey on the following night. His comrades applauded him, and the general rewarded him with lengthy embrace.
 l A bugler named Volkoff. baker from the Ukraine. heard his general asking for a volunteer to report upon Ia Hffarnd hfT11- self and was accepted. He disguised himself as Chinaman, for in Man churia everything is done in borrowed clothing. It is a very theatrical country. Whoever desires to obtain anything disguises himself, and near 1 ly always as a Chinaman, which in- Vokes the anger of both armies against the Celestials. Now we see a clean shayen Volkoff, wearing a sham pig tail and sordid blue dress, Borrowed" from the dirtiest Chinaman of the neighborhood. He has now become a little Chinese merchant. He sells dis gusting little bitter nuts, or bread as hard as stones, or little birds in cages. He carries out the mission with which the general has entrusted him, mixes with Chiha1nen who are gaping stupid ly at the advance guards of the Jap anese, and he is returning to camp full of delight when he meets patrol of six of the enemy's cavalry. The of- ficer questions him in Chinese Volkoff feels that he is lost; he answers with some incomprehensible gibberish to gain time. Orders are given that he shall be searched. This is the phy- chological moment. In an instant Volkoff has fired two shots with his revolver and killed two horsemen. With third he brings down the officer. The other Japanese hesltates, VolkOfi empties his revolver on the lot jumps upon the officers horse, and returns al full gallop toward the Russian lines The Japanese fire upon him, but he is already far off and makes good his escape. Unfortunately he is now ex' posed to another fre-that of his com rades, who do not know what to make of this unexpected horseman. Volkofi dismounts, waves his arms, shouts with all his strength At last tht firing ceases. An hour later Volkof is reporting to his general who present: him with the horse of the officer ant all it's trappings.

MUST FIGHT THEM, AFTER ALI.

Some of the good people of Massachu- settts have wanted the United States government to help their State govern ment in its war against the gypsy moth
 which has long been 8 damaging pest
 in Massachusetts. But so far the Unit ed States has seemed to think that Massachusetts could and should make it's own fight. Now, however, the United States has discovered that it must help little. The War department has started after those moths which are
 ravaging the trees of the unused mili- tary reservation at Nahant. Secretary Taft, on the recommendation of the quartermaster general of, the army, has
 made an allotment for the suppression
 of the insect at that place. A vigilant caretaker will be engaged for the spec
 iaI purpose of waging war on the troublesome moth, in the hope that the
 trees and bushes of the government tract may be saved rom the 1hVdSlon of the small enemy.
 It will be interesting to see how the United States comes out in this contest.
 Massachusetts doesn't seem to have
 done much to the moths, and now they
 have attacked the United States. Bad luck to them. If they can successfully , defy the United States there is no tell
 ing what they will do. They may take
 notion to conquer the Philippines.

AN IMPROVEMENT.

While the United States has been very strong at home for a long time, 1t hasn't been so strong abroad as it ought to have been. It has been especially weak in its consular service, owing so they say, to the fact that good many consuls have been appointed as a re- ward of politics instead of a reward of merit. Now there is going to be an im- provement. Hereafter candidates for positions as secretary or under secre- tary of our embassies or legations to foreign countries will have to be famil- jar with at least one other language be- sides English, and to pass an examina- tior regarding their knowledge of in- ternational law and diplomatic usages. Consulships also to which salary of a thousand dollars or more is attached will be filled only by promotion from lower grades or after applicants have passed an examination as to their qual- ifications.
 Probably another improvement that ought to be made is in the salaries of some of the consuls. Few consuls get much, and when consul is compelled to piece out his salary with an agents commission he usually secures the agency for several small manufacturers and exporters, and quite naturally he devotes most of his time to his out side business. When a consul on com mission is asked to make an investiga- tion in a. certain direction for an Amer ican company in which there is little promise Of substantial pay, he may not devote as much serious attention to this as he will to selling his own goods on commission.
 The United States should be every where represented by good and fairly paid men. The good men are not scarce, and there is money enough to pay them.

4HE NEW DEAL IN SPAIN.

Spain is coming out of her troubles in good shape. The young King has en- tered upon the active discharge of his duties as sovereign, and many reforms are already in the works. The desire of Spain to have fuller and more com plete relations with the world is indi- cated by the fact that the Spanish government is endeavoring to attract foreigners to visit Spain either for pleasure or improvement, and has ere ated a commission to foster this en- terprise. The basis of it's work is well set forth in the decree, and one of the things it will undertake is to publish in other countries itineraries for travel in Spain, and to induce Spanish railroads to establish special tariffs and fast and comfortable trains, which, starting from the frontier, and if possible from the seaports, will con- vey travellers over these attractive journeys In comfortable and reasona- ble style, The town and city councils are ordered to see that an improve ment is made in the lodging and ser- vices of all kinds relating to travellers, and to take other steps necessary to make their stay pleasant and agreed ble.
 Travel in Spain has not been very comfortable and attractive and as Spain is a country well worth travelling in the new order of things will doubt less attract many who will do Spain good.

DENTS SECRETARY.

The recent order of President Roose- welt making his secretary, William Loeb, Jr., the spokesman for the Cab- inet respecting matters of public in- terest dealt with at it's sessions by the latter, is 8 signal proof of the chief magistrates great reliance on his faith ful rieht-hand man. In no other sec retary to a president was such conf dence ever reposed, but in this case the act was justified by the remarkable ability and good judgment displayed by Mir. Loeb in the performance of his difficult duties. Moreover, MT. Loeb has sustained to the president since Mr. Roosevelt became governor of New York, and he thoroughly compre- hends his superior's views and poli- cies.
 It is not difficult to see that while MT. Roosevelt goes ahead with work at clip like this occasionally taking trip across country besides, there must be g. great volume of business to transact in the executive offices. This | falls upon MT. Loeb, and so arduoue | has the labor of the White House be- come that tho private secretary has been very appropriately dubbed in jest l Our Deputy President" It is Mr. i Loeh's duty to open all the White House mail, and this Is the first thing that engages his attention when he \ enters the executive offices in the morning at eight o'clock. The porters l have brought the, huge mail bags into | the office from the postoffice early in 1 the morning, and they contain all the letters that have come in for the White | House over night. It then devolves
 upon MT. Loeb to Ego through" this vast pile of letters, carefully asserting them, so that he may put aside only
 the very important public matters and extremely personal letters for the pres- ident to take up personally.
 MT. Loeb is usually ready for his session with the president before ten o'clock, taking with him to the presi- dents private office only such matters as require the personal attention of
 the chief executive. Left behind are
 many letters and business matters with which Mir. Loeb himself can deal
 and these are eliminated from the con ference, except perhaps, for easua
 mention of the nature of one thing ol
 another. The president reads his inn
 portant mail, tells MT. Loeb what he
 wishes done with this or that, takes up

RUSSIA'S SITUATION.

The Echo de Paris recently publish ed an article which attracted 8 good deal of attention. It was written by a Russian, Ellie de Cyon, who enjoyed the confidence of the late Czar Alex ander H., and contributed largely to the Franco-Russian alliance. M. de Cyon attributes the sympathy mani fested towards Russia in other coun- tries exclusively to the fear that dur ing her temporary eclipse peace may be imperilled by Anglo o-German rivalry. The Franco-Russian alliance, he says, put an end to the periodical alarms from Berlin. But these were renewed immediately after the Russian defeat at Mukden. Fortunately, when there was danger of general confagration, President Roosevelt and Edward VII. intervened, peace was concluded at

Thirty years ago a young husband
 and wife started in housekeeping oD, Deer Island, N. B. The wife said to
 the husband one day: 1T wish you would build me a title hennery; want to keep a few rens" He dutifully
 obeyed and hardly had they completed it when a man came along one day and
 offered to buy the place. They sold
 before the gool wife had 8 chance to
 get into the "hen business" From Deer Island the couple moved to West; Pembroke, where the husband built a
 little home. In obedience to the re-
 quests of his wife some time after, he
 started in building the hennery. It
 was snug little affair, just the thing
 for a small flock of hens. They were out admiring it one day when a stran- ger came along and offered to buy the
