Vladivostock, Oct. 22.-Striking
mine that had lain in the harbor here
since the Russo-Japanese war. the
steamer Warjargia was sunk and 199
persons were lost. The ship carried
200 persons and out of these only one
was rescued. So unreasoning was the
panic that followed the explosion that
even had the steamer remained on the
surface few minutes longer it would
have been impossible to get any of
the $50 passengers into life boats. The
steamer was a wooden coasting vessel
and she was bound into port here with
passengers from all along the coast.
The mine which sent her to the bottom
was seen floating on the surface, hav-
ing risen since the war, but the look
out thought it was a log. He paid no
attention to it. When the steamer
struck it head on there was terrific
explosion and in three minutes the
boat went to the bottom. In the three
minutes, however, after the explosion
until the waters closed over the I'M
fortunate ship and her husman cargo,
women were trampled to death and
children run over, disregarded in the
panic. Many were dead before the
boat sank.

STRENGTH OF CHARACTER.

oJrengtn or character consists or two
things of will and power of self
restraint. 1t requires two things, there
fore, for it's existence-strong feelings
and strong command over them. Now,
1t is here we make great mistake. We
mistake strong feelings for strong
character
A man who bears all before him, be-
fore whose frown domestics tremble
and the children quake, because he
has his will obeyed and his own way
in all things, we call a strong man.
The truth is he is a weak man. 1t is
his passions that are strong. He that
is mastered by them is weak.
You must measure the strength Of
man by the power of the feelings he
subdues, not by the power of those
which subdue him, and hence com.
posture is often the result of strength
Did we never see man receive a
fragrant insult only growing a little
pale and then reply quietly? ThisAs a
man spiritually strong.
Or did we never see a man be3fing a
hopeless, daily trial remain STINT and
never tell the world what canfered his
home peace? That is strongly

The area of Bolivia is not accurate

of the area of Germany, France and

on the east and southeast the land
rises. sometimes by easy slope and
sometimes by abrupt uplift to the

altitude of near $4,000 feet and to the

RAIN IN PARIS.

This is the French point of view.
Discomfort of any sort is for them

what is pleasing, naming it to define
the absence of it. La petite Helene and
her little brother Henri, who go to

in the rain, the bonnie at their heels

Deadly Snakes,

The deadliest of snakes is said to be
the mamba, an African cobra. 1t flies
at everybody and everything; it goes
out Of its way to quarrel; it will even
come down from a tree to solicit an
interview. Over in India there is the
great king cobra. or hamadryad. a size
larger, quite as fierce-it has been
known to chase a man on horseback;
he had to ride for his life-but his
poison is a degree less virulent. The
difference. however, may be considered
negligible and ceases to interest the
patient after few minutes. Among
the Australian cobras, the pit vipers
of America and the great west African
vipers there are species with evil repu-
tations, and the most alarming feature
is that the aggressive snakes are ali
desperately poisonous.
