JEPHTHAH'S DAUGHTER Successful Production of the Popular Musical Drama by Revelstoke Amateurs — A Bumper House, Revelstoke has always been noted (or her dramatic and musical talent and the production of the famous cantata, "Jephtbah's Daughter" last night in tbe opera house by local artists has established further this well deserved reputation. Kilty Indies and "t-ntle- uicn wire requind to produce litis well known drama and Irum start to finish the audience could feel the wild, yet picturesque breath of the ancient Israelites and their Bemi-t.arharous life, brought out in the grand yet sweet music in which it is produced. The house was packed evincing the popularity of local talent. The story, is so well known that there ia no need Ior repeating it; suffice it to say that each act and scene in this great ancient tragedy was cae fully and well curried out. Tl.e chorus of soldiers iu Act 1, Scene 2, was par- ticularly striking, thc quiet yet solemn drill in preparation Ior battle being well executed. The duet by Naomi and Eloni (Miss Borden and R. Tuggart) in tbe battle field scene was pathetic and effective. Act 2 showel the Jewish maidens upon the mountains awaiting tlie return ol Jephthah and bis victorious army, the chorus and dancing being quaint yet charmingly picturesque. Ipbigenia (Mrs, Squarebriggs) offers praises and thanks for Israel's deliverance, but is out short by the appearance ol Jephthah, who gives way to utter remorse on teeing his daughter and remembering his vow. The trio "Have Mercy,' by Jephthah, Iphigenia and Adah, wai touching and impressive, the act being brought to a close by the chorus, reminding Jephthah ol the fulfilment of hit vow. The funeral march, solemn and grand led up to the sacrifice, and Iphigenia, in a touching and pathetic appeal, clad in sacrificial garb, urges her father to the act which will offer her as a sacrifice to God in fulfillment of his rash vow. Her song "Now Slowly. Sinks My Setting Sun," was perhaps the finest number in the whole production, the utter abandoment ol the doomed virgin being powerfully portrayed by Iphigenia. The grind finale "Never More" rolling upward in' rich, yet iweet harmony over the funeral bier of the slain heroine, made a grand yet sad ending to this powerful and strangely realisticdra.ua. Such a work has been ra.ely produced in Revelitoke and we feel that each and all who took part in it did their work conscientiously and endeavored to portray the characteristics ol that period, in solemn hymns of praiie, iu joyful dance and chants ol sorrow. The caste was well sustained. Ed. Allum as Jephthah, could nut be improved upon, his acting and singing doing him great credit. W. M. Lawrence, as the prophet, was creditable, while the princes and Jewiih maidens left nothing to be desired. Adah (Mn. Creelman) carried out well a somewhat difficult role as Iriend of Iphigenia, her work being conscientiously done. Ai Iphigenia, Mn. Squarebriggs was an unqualified auccess, her whole demeanor and personality being excellent, In her several soloi, the fully cirried out tbe difficult talk allotted her, from the joyful daughter of a victorious chief to the sorrowing, mourning victim for sacrilic, through human lolly. Mrs. Squarebriggs must be congratulated on her rendering ol her role and as an amateur is certainly talented in dramatic work. The choruses, both male and le.iu.le, were good, and were rendered in a creditable manner, although they lacked precision in picking up cues, at times.

Rossi.akb, April 20.—A conlerence ol mine managers has decided to advance wages 25 cents per day Irom 1st May. This applieB to shovelers, carmen, ore workers and all employed on the surface. Ottawa, April 20 —Finance Minister Fielding received a telegram (rom I ly miii) Hating tbat he had forwarded his resignation Irom London. Winnipeg, April 18.—The C. P. R. loday confiscated all commercial coal in transit Irom western mines as a precautionary measure against the shortage in case of a strike. Ottawa, April 20.—The special committee investigating the conditions of Ihe lumber trade will report tomorrow. The committee is unanimously agreed and will report to the House that there is a combine in connection with the retailers' association and also wilh the manufacturers' association, and that the result ia an excessive high price of lumber. The committee makes no recommendations. Cai.gakv, April 20.—It is reported here that it ia tl.e C. P. R. that is making most vigorous efforts to settle the difficulty between mine operators and men. SETTLEMENT MAY COME Coal Strike General-Conference Will be Held Next Week Fernik, B. C, April 19.-The district officers of the United Mine Workers of America and the operators will hold a conlerence in Fernie on Tuesday, April 23. District President Sherman is confident ol an early lettlement of the trouble and there is a prospect that the mines will be working within the next ten days. The labor situation, however, is still serious. All the miners are now quitting work. Not a man is working and all the camps are idle. The action of the Alberta government in refusing to institute proceedings against the management at Taber, when the men were refused work, except on a ten-hour basis, in face of tbe fact that a written agreement to an 8-hour day came into effect on the first of April, had made a very bad impression on the men, when the posting of noticeB by the Crow's Nest Company, to the effect that a reduced scale of wagei would go into effect on the 10th of May, to last for three years, made it impossible to hold them and they began to quit individually, until now all the miners at the three largest camps, nearly two-thirds of all the men in the district are idle and declare they will go to jail in preference to submitting to Buch injustice. The statement that the men in these mines made on an average of $1,500 per year under the present rate of wages is untrue, and does not mend the situation. There was a meeting of the operators and members of the district board here yi Bterday. but nothing of what transpired has been mado public. Another meeting of the district board will be held next Tuesday. - — i. I. —*** ■■*■*■ GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC as the sweet little cherub iu the battle field scene. The costumes were excellent, both in design and blendingot color, and did credit to the artiitio mind of the designer. The ladies looked very dainty and charming in the pic- luresque dress of the period, and Revelstoke has cause to be proud ol them. The orchestra carried out their part well, although they lacked tbe dash and vigor which tbe piece at times called Ior. On the whole the cantata was a pronounced success, a fine production and excellently carried out. Mist. Croigliti.il who ii responsible lor the whole thing, deserves every credit and praise in her untiring and zealous efforts to make the drama a success. To produce a piece of tbil description ii no small task and Min Creighton's work ii to be highly commended. $5,000,000 in Debentures taken at 4 per cent in London. Montrkai., April 18.-C. M. Hays, president and general manager ol the Grand Trunk Pacific has arrived in Montreal trom Europe. Mr. Hays states that the Grand Trunk Pacilic issued 1116,000,000 debentures, and they had been able to issue them at 4 per cent, in London whilo other corporations were paying as high as 6 per cent, lor their monoy, Another interesting point was that 70 per cent, ol these debentures had been taken out by old shareholders. ABked as to what would bo done with the money. Mr. Hays stated that it was going into rolling stock, Already the Grand Trunk Pacilic owns 2,500 cars, which at the present time wero being utilized by tho Grand Trunk and whioh latter would bc turned ovor to the Grand Trunk Pacific. RIVER BANK PROTECTION Mattrass Nearly Finished- Breach in Dam to be Repaired -A Small Accident Which Might have been Worse. Residents as well aa visitors can spend a profitable and instructively interesting day by visiting the work now being curried on by the Dominion and Provincial governmenta, on protecting Ihe river lank and changing the course of lhe Columbia by the C'lii-tructif.ii of a dam. l'his latter work is so well known to all that description is unnecessary, but since tbo ui.fortunate accident which happened Inst week, and which waa unavoidable, public opinion has been rife concerning the causes and probable resulls, and it is only right that a correct idea of what did happen be given. Just prior to the morning of the accident the dam had been closed, but only a small quantity ol rock bud been put in, leaving it about less than half full; in (act the whole dam has been only partially filled in and hacked up by rock. There was a head ol nearly five feet of water on the upper Bide of the dam and the pressure very great, but yet not sufficient to strain the piling even to an eight of an inch. A large field of floe ice comes floating down the current travelling at a rate of about four feet a second, the enormous bulk of which would weigh hundreds ot thousands of toiiB. The first impact did no damage, tbe second forced the piling over to a considerable angle, unprotected as it was by rock, and the last impact coming in the shape of a wedge, snapped off the piling flush with the rock that had been dumped round it. A breach ol 50 leet or so was opened, and a rapid ol about three Ieet drop now remains, but no scouring has taken place whatever, the brush and rock being too securely packed on the bed of the river to allow of even a small amount of underwashing to take place. The dam therefore itaell ia secure, but the woodwork and superstructure above of course has gone. The piling is as firm in the river bed today as the day it was put in, except tbat the terrible impact snapped them off almost at the water's edge.. As regards repairs we learn that no attempt will be made to repair the breach until the rest of the dam has been finished and filled up with rock. Meanwhile a cribbing will be constructed round the bent snd weakened section, filled will, rock «■ d extended whe" rosdy across the breach, the whole forming a solid wall o' nek and timber. Much depends on how quickly the river rises. An additional superstructure will he built nn to the near end ot thc dam for a distance of about 300 feet. Unfortunately tho w-rks wore closed down for a moulh in the winter, op. parently for want of funds and this uncalled for delay is practically responsible for tbe fnct that the dam was only half filled with rock at the time of the accident, This cloaing down waB extremely detrimental to the ultimate completion ol the work and happened at a bad time too, and it ia safe to say that had this set back not' occurred, the dam would have been in a position to withstand even the mass of ice that effected the damage last week. The engineers are confident of permanent repairs belore long and when it is considered how biiiuII is the break as compared with the whole extent of tl.e dam, it will prove that the general construction has heen sound and scientifically based To turn to the mattrass work now being carried nut by the provincial government, tho work has been going ahead unceasingly, True, delay was caused by a shortage ul wire, but that hns been remedied and thc work will ho completed within threo weeks. The method used is that invented by Capt. Kad, a well known engineer, and has always proved most effective, Over 1,000 loads of briiBh, 10 tons of wire, 160,0(10 Ieet of lumbor, and thousands ol tons of rock, have been used in itt construction. Two sections have sunk and tl.e remaining two will go also in a low days. The work is in every way satisfactory and should be successful thia slimmer. R.

It is probable thnt logs will continue to be high in price until July or August, and should their be no relief in the car shortage then, with fine weather and abundance of logs coming to market, they could not retain their present value. With plenty of cars the industry would flourish, without them it will languish.

Revelitoke Cigars Union Mads Our VIGOROUSLY OPPOSED Delegation of Lumbermen Wait on Executive to Protest Against Increase of Timber Royalties. Victoria, B.C., April 19.—A swnrm uf men prominently interested iu the logging and lumber industries poured down upon the Provincial Executive this week to protest Jagainst tlie pro [i.tsed change in the Lund Act, which will increase royalties on cut timber from 50c. to 75o, per thousand feet. The delegates represented every bcc- tion ol the country froniJUevelstoke to the Coast. The members of the Government present at the meeting were Messrs. Tallow, Cotton, Fulton and Young. Mr. A. C. Fluniorlclt was the lirsl. spokesman Cf the delegation. He pointed out thai, the lumber Industry was already taxed as much as it co .ki bear, and the result ot a further increase would be that it would be exceedingly difficult for them to compete with American lumbermen, who were now shipping tbeir product into the Canadian North-West Provinces. He said, however, that the lumbermen would be in a better position tu stand it if there licenses were better secured to them and suggested that at leaBt tlie Government should allow the hi 1 to stand over till next year, and in the meantime they could appoint a select committee to inquire into the actual conditions of the lumbering business of the country. Mr. Fulmer, Mr, Alexander, Mr, Lindmark (Revelsloke), and Aid. Heaps also spoke, pointing out that owing to the shortage ol cars, business was seriously handicapped under present conditions anyhow, and profits were really very small. A complaint was made that the lumbermen of B.C. were more heavily taxed already than tbose of any other province in tho Dominion and their tenure under licences wai at tbe same time insecure. Several |of the larger firms present offered to throw their books open for the inspection of the Government to show what the profits ol the lumbering business actually weie. Thc lumbermen all Baid they were willing lo pay tbeir fair share ol the revenue, but that at present the proposed increase would bear hardly upon them. It was pointed out that owing to the car shortage tbe lumber trade was at present in a very depressed condition. Tbey could not get hall the cars they needed, and consequently were debarred Irom getting their lumber on the North West market with the opening of the Spring season, when there was most need (or it. Some of the delegates said that if the increased loyalty went into operation it would practically mean the closing down of many mills. Tbe delegates were iinanini-iis in asking that the bill be laid over Iur one year, and the conditions lie investigated by the Government in the meantime. This the Government has oons.-nted to do. asking the House to pais the measure in the meantime with enforcement not belore next January.

IN RUSSIA OWING to the distracted state of all ranks ot Russian society few peace-loving nomads are Inclined to settle evefi fur a season within tiie Czar's dominions, Should curiosity or expediency compel the step, one should, if possible, pitch the family tent in the capital or in some other city where the United States Consulate and a fair sprinkling of American residents make life moderately comfortable, because measurably safe. In such a city one can rent a Mat or apartment, where the task of keeping warm In whiter is less formidable than in huge country houses, more like barracks or barns than human residences. One's menu, also, requires less thought in a city. In St, Petersburg, especially, sunplles are easily obtainable, and one may fall back on French cooking when the national diet becomes too unspeakable for American palates. In the country, where one is frozen in fur months at a time, unless a housekeeper be prudent and packs away in the underground store rooms during the summer enormous supplies of fermented cabbage, beets—roots and leaves-dried or Bmoked fish, ham and meats in casks, barrels of flour, bushels of carrots, parsnips, turnips, potatoes, kegs of but- ter and oil, cheese ot every description, dried and canned fruits, and tidbits for the "aakouska"—eatables which form tho staple* diet of most Russians—starvation may ensue. SERVANTS ARE HOPELESS The servant question is likely to prove annoying, not from overindulgence, but because the Russian maid, being but a generation removed from serfdom, fs hopelessly Irresponsible and careless, with littlo regard fm* "meum" and "tuimi." One may hire them for a pittance, but too often they are dear at any price, The arrangement of Russian meals does not differ materially from thnt In other European countries. We have tho early breakfast of bread, coffee and ten, and the heavier midday meal between 11 and 2, similar to our luncheon. At this last one has a soup, hot or cold; sour cabbage, mushrooms prepared wllh sour cream, some sort of cold meat or gnme, or possibly a creamed fish or vegetable salad, or a Chopped-up meat In cutlet, with a sauce of vinegar and aour cream added to tiie fat In which the ment has been fried. The mixturo is then boiled, with a sliced herring and sardine thrown in by wny of zest. Then there may be curd dumplings, a remarkable compound of rennet curds, pastry, sour cream and eggs, baked In a moderate oven and enten with melted butter or with sour cream poured over thein. Or, per- hapft/j^o tastes "minis" for the first time, thn Russtnn hot bread, which enjoys as great popularity as our buckwheat cakes, Usually (here will be "kvns," a Russian sour soft drink, to wash down the breakfast, or, perhaps, the fiery and intoxicating "vodka." The dinner hour In Russia varies from 8 o'clock to R, nnd the meal itself Is thc most Important function of the day. The nostras who alms to bo truly Russian will begin with "sakouska," This Is not the simple little appetizer of caviare on toast we know in America, hul un elaborate "spread," usually served In an unti chamber; if in the salle a manger, at a side table, In fuel, a stranger io tho customs of tho laml may tind that he has unwittingly made a full meal before he has approached the dinner table, so enticing is the array of cold dishes, dried fruits, cheeses, wines and liqueurs offered for his selection. At the znkouska will bo found, besides caviare, potted and highly spiced chicken, ham, fish, game and thin slices uf aromatic smoked Russian ham, smoked sturgeon or dried salmon. At thc dinner proper ono has soup and lish. a roast and curiously prepared vegetables, a salad and dessert, for all i*f which the preliminary appetizers have probably deprived one of appetite. Perhaps tlie soup will be the national slchi, made of pounds of fermented cabbage, an equal amount of cold boiled mutton, chopped together, and boiled with twoquartsof kvas, eight ounces of butter, concentrated soup stock, salt. pepper, a little barley and various hi rbs. Then ono may have tho highly prized roast suckling pig stuffed with black buckwheat, hulled and boiled like oatmeal and browned in tho oven before it is used as stuffing. Or there may be delicious h;ilf-grown chicken squabs, long known In Russia and now popular In the United States. For an entree might be si rved Russian croutes, made of finely shredded smoked or spiced beef, cut Into strips ahout an inch long and n quarter of an inch wide, and soaked for half an hour in a little French dressing. Cover the croutes, or blocks of fried bread, with a slice of hard-boiled egg, seasoned with salt and pepper, Placo the strips of beef on the croutes and cover with a aauce made of whipped cream, or, better yet, sour cream, into which grated horseradish, cayenne pepper and a lew drops of lemon juice* are stirred. The famous Russian salad ol cold boiled peas, cauliflower, potatoes cut In strips, dice of carrots, turnips and beans comes next in order. Sliced raw tomatoes, chopped pickle and trulHes arc arranged in distinct layers In a salad bowl or fill n mould lined with jelly, Season each layer with mayonnaise, salt and pepper, pile the salad high in the centre, cover with mayonnaise and garnish with shredded salmon and beets, olives, capers and anchovies. After zakouskn, topped by dinner, it might be thought tin* Russian would survive unlll the next day without another meal, Not he! ln winter there Is always a light supper after the theatre, while in summer there are refreshments at 10 o'clock, such ns berries, with cream and cake, followed by tea passed at midnight. The long twilights are conducive to lite hours. DELICIOUS COFFEE AND TEA Both coffee and tea, by the way, are delicious In Russia, even when they are passed in great trays ut the railroad stations. The samovar plays nn important part In the social life, and it was from Russia we learned to use lemon Instead Of cream In our tea. What the initiated palate considers a rather pleasant variation ln Ihe lea served at midnight Is a Fpoonful of strawberry Jam stirred Into each cup. Russian hospitality Is sometimes overpowering. A whole family will meet a guest at the door on her arrival and shower her with attentions during her slay. Frequently at the labia the host or lioKtcM will Jump up mul offer some extra del leney that has been overlooked bv butler ur footman This proved rather embarrassing to two young American friends visiting tho home of a noted Russian scientist. Without a language in common, it was Impossible tu explain why the guests could not go on drinking indefinitely a heady wine to which they were unaccustomed. Tlu- host, thinking tbey disliked ilie brand, made an excursion to the cellar several limes during the course of the dinner io bring out choice vintages In honor of his visitors, to the embarrassment of all conci rned, as the guests dared not touch them. The hall-fermented cabbage of Russia Is one of the food staples. It Is dressed in a variety of ways, and is much used in soups. It is prepared by chopping the cabbage, pressing it down hard In casks, and adding a lillle salt. In a few days it will be fermented sufficiently for the casks to be sealed and stored away for winter use. Sour eieam is also to be found on every table and is considered a delicacy in any form in which it is used. It may he bought in all Russian dairies. Mushrooms, both fresh and dried, are a national delicacy. A curious combination i'f fermented cabbage, sour cream and mushrooms fs made by stewing dried mushrooms in cold water, puurlng the liquid over sour cabbage and boiling for fifteen minutes. Add the chopped mushrooms and salt; stew till thick. Add sour cream, and, lastly, a lablespoonful of flour, browned in butter. Stir thoroughly and cook In a covered dish until as thick as boiled cabbage. REAL RUSSIAN TOFFEE A Russian toffee beloved by the children is made with a pound of loaf- sugar, a half-pound of butter and a' half pint of cream. Stir all three over thc- tire till the mixture draws away from tlie sides of the pan. Flavor with two tablcspoonfuls of currant jelly, pour ' into buttered pans, and when cool cut Into squares. "Kvas," for which a recipe Is given herewith, is a refreshing and healthful drink, and Is also used ln souring soups and roasts. "Blinis" would make a pleasing variation In our hot breads. The moulds can be bought at Russian delicatessen shops In this country. Russian Recipes. IlUNIH (NATIONAL HOT BREAD), One pound fluur. Four eggs. One nn-j a bait glasses milk (lukewarm).

A. B. UcD, iPIttsburg, Pa.). Before calling together tho experience meeting Of which our very clever member spe.tkH i will answer briefly two questions she put to myself. I have "known u family" In which an oxporiment similar to that proposed by tin- philanthropist was made. Many years ago i fitted up a room adjoining iln- kitchen In a city house as a parlor fur the use of my three maids. It wai carpeted; the furniture was new and pretty; tlie windows were curtained; u drop Unlit bung above a centre tabic, on which lay bonks mid magatines; the place was warm, light and more cheerful than the kitchen, which had a northern exposure, The gift of "thfl palrlor" was tecoiveii-noi gratefully, but gr.v cluuslyMiud 1 was assured that it would be a 'great Incurrldgemint" to the laborers ta my home tract. One of tne maids was engaged to be married to a decent young fellow, whom 1 allowed to visit her lu the evenings. I supposed, naturally, that tiny would take advantage of the room fur tete-a-tete talks. In fact, I found that tbey bad actually sat together there un twu stormy nights, At the end of a month i learned thai the maids preferred to gather In Ihe old familiar kitchen when it wns "red up" and the day's work dono. H'fcen Ellen had her "Jo' the others sat In tht same place and took a hand In the talk or went off to walk. All shunned the ' palrlor" by common consent. When 1 inquired intu the reason, Ellen, then In her seventh year of service—rejoined, hesitatingly: "It's all very nice In that room, ma'am, but we girls feel Bort of lonesome-like In there, and the kitchen seems mure natural, somehow, Then again, there's none of our acquaintances ns has anything uf tbo kind, and sume of them do laugh at uh about it. Maggie and me was sayln' last night it was a Wonder you didn't make a storeroom of it. b* in' more convenient tu tlu- kitchen nor the icl- lar." The walls of the despised "palrlor" were painted, and a pretty frescoed fries** ran up to the ceiling. At the .ud ot the second month 1 had the curpet taken up, the curtains taken down, the furniture stored in tin* attic and the Looks sent to keep it company. Maggie had the "nicest storeroom In town,' .mil rejoiced therein. In my country bouse l have put forth yet more strenuous endeavors to maki nn* mauls as comfortable (according to my standards] as myself. To this end i had a veranda, overlooking lake and mountain, built under the kitchen wli di m it Is heavily draped with honeysuckle and furnished with rock- Ing chairs—as cozy and inviting a re- treat as e weary woman could desire on a summer evening or in the August noontide when vegetables and fruits aro to be pared Perhaps the bower is occupied, on an average, once a month during the warm weather. Fur the rest of the time the maids ami "followers" prefer kitchen and laundry. i KITCHEN "SEEMS NATURAL" I And why not? The kitchen "seems more natural somehow." The niche in Which I would set them dues nut become the maids, nur do they become it. As the learned archaeologist, i»r. Merrill, now our Consul at Jerusalem, says of the restoration of the "aneleni people" to the Fatherland: "In a word, the Jews are not ready for Palestine, nor Is Palestine ready fur tlu* Jews.1' Bo mething like this may account for what puzzled me long and sorely Y..t 1 do my maids but partial justice in saying that they are, uh a rule, refined beyond thfl rank and tile Of their clasp. They are exemplary In the discharge of their respective duties, and have a habit of slaying with me until thiy marry. If Ihey do not take readily to "pniilor" and leafy veranda, do not I COMUlt tludr welfare In allowing them Io be happy In their own way? "Why dot?" I repeat, Cnrlyle was never w< neatly content as when his better-burn wife let him spend the evening with his pipe In tho bast ment kitchen while she sat In the drawing- room above stair*. Now for a conscns.is of opinion on the matter that hli taken *■ lo much of our *pace today. Will housemothers relate tludr several experiences, nnd ine convictions based thereupon?

The weak point In the cuisine managed by the thrifty pair was the 1 o'clock luncheon. The retired cook hnd evldentlv lived mil her term of service In a family thnt bail the true British contempt for made dishes. The distaste ls as old as tho reign of "Good Oeorge the King," whoso favorite dish was boiled mutton and turnips. Mrs. II. B. could compass n mince on toast. Mer Ignorance of croquettes, salmis, scallops and tho like matched her Ineptitude for nil manner of salads. Her lord looked upon luncheon as n stop-gap for ap- petltes that had been satlslled wilh breakfast und were reserving their best energies for dinner. This, the fourth meal of the eating clny, wns to him a serious function. A meaty soup—sometimes rather heavy for our taste—was succeeded in duo and solemn procession l.y lish. a roast with vegetables, pudding or tf.r.s, crackers find cheese and black coffee. Fruits nnd nuts were brought on with the crackers and cheese. These were the "dessert." Tarts, cus- tarda, puddings nnd icea were "sweets.1' The main defect In the average English cuisine la sameness. We were painfully conscious of this during a tori.light's stay at one of the largest am! most expensive of London hotels. We did not weary of juicy Southdown multon, unequaled In savorl- i.ess by nny we l.n.l eaten In nny oilier part of tl.e world, unless It wero tl.e small roasts of lamb we used lo get In Italy.

And l.ls English cousin Southdown is a larger edition lti-ll.ivor-a.nl lendernosa.

The Into afternoon was sometimes chill with sea-fogs, and ln England the least suspicion of dampness and falling temperature Is seized upon ne an excuse for lighting a fire. Home- times wo came In wet, but cheerily, for we knew whnt nwulted us. Then the Bea-cdal was aglow In the grate; the tea-urn bubbled In unison Willi il, and the cloth was hidden by plates of thin bread und butter, sandwiches, the toast rack, cake basket, a plate of hot sconos or tea c -%s shrouded In a napkin, always ninrmn'ndc, nnd. not Infrequently, a delicacy with which We became acquainted—nnd zostfullv during that halcyon summei at Hrlghton — to wit, Devonshire cream! it was eaten with brown bread and butter and jam, otherwise marmalade.

"B ))' HIS heroic defense of Port Ar- ihur. General Aitalok Michaeh- rcitch Stoessel has acquired a name which will rank' with tlmt oj the greatest fortress-holders of modem tidies—with Gordon, of Khartoum; Ullrich, of Slrassbtirg; Inglis, of Lucknow; Osmait, of Plevna; White, of Lady milk, and, above all, with Fodlehen, of Sebiislopol." This opinion, expressed by a prominent military authority of Europe two years ago, seemed to be that of the world at large. Sadly for Sloessel has tiie picture (hanged. Now, reduced to poverty, racked with disease, his glory vanished, his record smirched and even his life demanded as payment for his failure to do what he declined impossible—Io silrl, bitter dregs has he tasted the ingratitude of his government. There was no question, apparently, of the limits of human endurance and daring wilh the Russian bureaucracy that peremptorily he mnde to suiter so?** said i.e, demanded Stoessel's life; no counting of diioiii.ing his case. ' ' .ill if fin .*.../*.. 1 jl #1.1nl the sick in Port Arthurs shell-riddled hospitals, or of the swarming foes outside.^ The commander surrendered—he said he did it to prevent further useless sacrifice of life—and, therefore, he was a traitor to the flag. Forced out of the army, General Sloessel has been fighting his cause before a court- martial, convened lo determine whether the recommendation of a court of inquiry should be carried out. This declared lhat Pert Arthur's defender should be dismissed in disgrace and shot for surrendering. In the meantime the unhappy man has been compelled lo apply for public assistance mw ^ ^ ^^ ^^ ^ ^ hi maintainW? a SCrcOllt. I> recked tit UOay r-'fused to leave the town when opportunity was offered, ... . u. A_ t / Ju8t before the Japanese r His iv/fc was fyuaJJy Heroic. From ii virile, rosy-cheeked man, the former hero mis dwindled to an emaciated wreck. This Is partly due to Ids wounds, partly io his country's Ingratttudfa. I could stand lt myself; but why should my wife not many days ago, ln One would think that, even if sympathy for Sloessel should die, there would remain in Russia some spark of gratitude for the woman who haa become known as "Port Arthur's guardian angel." For one of the sweetest stories of patriotic devotion In recent years is that of Mme. Stoessel's presence within the beleaguered fortress all the time the Japanese were trying to wrest It from the Russians. From tho first moment of tho siege sho assumed direction of the ambulance service. When, on August 'a, VM, Mme. Stoessel was struck on the shoulder by a bursting shell, while attending a wounded soldier, and lt was reported that she wax In dangor of death, there wni gloom ln the garrison, which wax dissipated only when she was discharged from the nospltal as recovered from her wounds, Then the soldiers knelt and kissed her garments and even tho dust which she had walked upon. Now, In all L~* Petersburg, there are few so poor as to do her S/oesseJ's Welcome bdeh Jo Kussk most of the time. The salary which he received In theuoneombutarn residents of the city became shut off from army Is no longer his, since he quit the service In Oc- tho outside world. tnber last. Ostensibly, ho quit voluntarily, but It Is common knowledge In St. Petersburg that he was forced out. Nowhere else in the world, perhaps, would an officer of Stoessel's distinguished record have been summarily and wretched tn mind, he is unable to pay even tht' r wage demanded. Slow. u.ow. thou winter wind, Thou sit not so unkind As man's tngrntltude.-"Ai You Like It." WHEN' the result of Russia's war with Japan rested largely upon the wisdom and patriotism of two nr three officers, General Stoeasol, who hnd twice been decorated for conspicuous bravery, whose breast was covered with medals telling of noble ■service, took hold of Port Arthur with an Iron hnnd and declared: "1 um determined to so defend this town that my countrymen shall have no cause to be ashamed of me." Ilo la the mnn who, upon being Informed by a company of soldiers that they could no longer hold their pout, snapped back; "But you can die, then!" Enoouraged by ihe presence of a brave, noble wife, he held thc-grcat strategical p>int for seven months against Buch odds as few armies havo encountered. And then he surrendered! Honorably and properly, lhe world thought. So ho himself stoutly declared, fio contending, he returned, wounded and 111, to Russia to bo Judged, While mankind furnishes abundant examples of that lack of appreciation tnat "cutteth like a serpent's tooth," seldom has a nation been known to uso ono of her sturdy soldiers as Russia ls using Stoessel, A PITIFUL COMPARISON It is not long since ho was spuken of as the most powerful and umtdtlous o-llieor In the Russian army. No uifalr In St. Petersburg social circles was complete without th« presence of Genera) and Mme, Sloessel. in tholr pulatl.il home wero maiiy servants; they Jived as luxuriously and care-free us only favored lights In the aristocracy of the Czar's city can. Not only waa he considered powerful, but good. All classei trusted him. Even Kuropuikiii was nol more highly regarded. It was lully expected in manv i-iiur- terr Hint ll the star of the commander-in-chief of iho army slmuld wane, Stoessel would get his place. What Is Stoessel now? llis former associates In tho clubs and drawing-rooms do not notice lilm when thoy meet. He is no longer consulted on any mutter relating Ir. the government or troops. Indeed, be has been forced io resign from the army. If there is any one who pays any attention to hlm, It Is an occasional peasant who Is sorry for him. Instead of the wines and delicacies that once wcro ot. his board, thero Is now but the scantiest fare, Without funds, he lias been compelled to dismiss his servants His ulte does her own housework, but Is hardly uble to bear up under the strain. That Is why, In his desperate (nun* of mind, Stoessel appealed to the St. Pclersburg am! oillles for a servant. As tor the government, It Ignores him, Not once has Cigar N'kholus evinced a personal Interest In tho fato of IiIb former friend and officer. "If he ls guilty, let him die; if Innocent, let him prove lt," said the Emperor recently when some one Bought to put In a word for liuni- HtoesseL St. reverence, Madame Stoessel's bravery during the long and terrible sjege was frequently commented upon. She flatl; i when opportunity ,.. ._. net closed tightly, and waa one of tho few women who experienced the horrors of war In their grimmest form. Through it all she bore herself as courageously as her husband. Once, when seated at the table with a few guests, a shell tore away part of the house, but Mme. Stoessel continued calmly to pour tea and to minimize the occurrence. At another time she was present when her husband held one of the laBt councils of officers. Some of the party were seated about a table In tbe street and others standing near, when a shell burst overhead and soverely wounded several. No matter how thickly the mlBslles of death were flying in the air, this intrepid woman never failed to make a dally round of the hospitals. She seemed utterly fearless, and several times narrowly escaped death. One of lhe charges heaped upon General Stoessel after he had surrendered Port Arthur to General Nogl wns that he had enriched himself; but he replied, "There are few 30 poor as I." That this Is true Is borne out by his shabby clothes; even his wife haa so few clothes that she stays Indoors branded a traitor and deprived of all tho prerogatives of his rank until proof positive had been gleaned to bear out the charges. Especially strange has the action been In view of the message sent to General Stoesstjl by Emperor Nicholas immediately after the surrender of Port Arthur. "1 thank you for your gallant defense," he said. Strange, too, does It seem, after Emperor William of Germany has decorated Sloessel for bravery at Port Arthur. Indeed, throughout the conflict It was not uncommon to see, in the cable dispatches, Port Arthur's delen30 spoken of as lhe one glorious page, lu the hlslory of the wnr to the credit of the Russian troops. "The Czar may well confer honors and titles upon hlm," wrote one of the foremost correspondents at Port Arthur, Captain Hugh J. Gallagher, of the General Staff, United Slates Army, "for every duy antl every hour he ls adding glory nnd credit to lhe Russian Empire, lt 1b doubtful If the history of tho world will siiow, when all ls said, a braver, more determined defense than that now bfdng made at Port Arthur." WAS KUROPATKIN'S CHOICE When General Stoessel went to Port Arthur lt was at the earnest solicitation of General Kuropatkln, who said to the Czar: "Stick hlrn behind one of those breastworks, and all tho forces of heaven and earth will not prevail against him." I.lnevltch wns the man favored by the Czar's counsellors for the post, but the advice of Kuropatkln was taken. Something of Stoessel's temper may be gleaned from tho farewell which he took of his frlondB when about to sail tor -tho East. He told them, that ho would never return. This presentiment became a conviction later, and on August lil, 1004, he telegraphed to a friend In Moscow; "Farewell forever. Fort Arthur will be my tomb." It was In May of that year that he undertook to hold the city against the Japanese forces by Innd and sea, For a few weeks communication with the outside world was had, but gradually Stoessel, his army and the' On September 20, 1004, General Kuropatkln, comman- der-lnchlcf of tho Russian army In the East, tele- grnphed; "1 will go to your relief ln threo months." Then came three months of such uncertainty as would have discouraged almost any one. Through It all Stoessel stood solidly upon the assertion that he would rot give up the fort until the last of his soldiers was dead. All proposals of capitulation from the Japanese ha treated with contemptuous brevity. When General Nogl and Admiral Togo united ln demanding lhe surrender of the fortress, he treated the summons as "a joke in bad taste." Although referred to in Russia as a bloodless man. Without feeling or magnetism, he earned the love of hla soldiers during thoso terrible weeks at Port Arthur, for they saw that he was willing to go and fight wllh them in the trenches. When confronted with expressions of protest on the part of men ordered to do what seamed to them a hopeless, as well as a fatal, task, he replied sternly: "What I order can be done." In response to requests for mercy In court-martial proceedings he was wont to respond: "Carry out the sentence; it will save lives in the eud." "People say," wrote a correspondent at Port Arthur, "that General Btoessel never sleeps, lor when all the city is ln darkness a light always burns In his headquarters.' Even when he hnd been wounded ly a shell, and there whb no prospect of aid either from Kuropatkln on land or Rojestvensky by sea, Stoessel continued to bear himself aa if convinced that Port Arthur would prove his victory garland, and not his grave. But when the three months stipulated by General Kuropatkln had passed and no news of the flset had been received, the situation became desperate. The garrison wus exhausted, according to Sloes-Bel aud his frlendH. The fieet having been destroyed and High Mountain captured, Stoessel considered that any further prolongation of the struggle would inevitably lead to frightful carnage. He declares that he decided upon the capitulation on his own authority and without consulting any one. Returning quietly to Russia tu bo Judged for his acts after the surrender, he said: "I might lmvo hsld out longer, but prefer a less great name in military annals to having 30,000 lives on mv conscience." Those who condemn him for his act say that he capitulated, not only on hie own volition, but against the Judgment of almcit every other officer and man, all Port of whom were willing to die rather than desert Aithur. Tbey say that General Kondratenko wan the real soul of tbe defense cf Pert Arthur, and that when ha died Port Arthur died with him Some of the others, In spite of the Czar's permission, preferred captivity under the Japanese rather than "a shameful return to Russia with Stoessel." Indeed, a correspondent stated that if he had not been checked hy General Kondratenko, General Stoessel would have surrendered several weeks before be did. Thia s'ime correspondent said thai no more disgraceful surrender had been recorded in history, and stai'd, among other things, that the Japanese, wnen they t" "k pnsspcsion, found I'i.iM, men able to bear arms, against SfiOO claimed by Stossel; that great quantities of antmunl- tion remained; that there was no want of shelter or coal; and that It was failure of other comforts than ammunition aud supplies that the Russian officers feared. So decided the commission appointed to Investigate the surrender of Port Arthur, it recommended that General Stcessel be dismissed from the army and shot; that Lieutenant Genoral Fock, commander of one of tht divisions, who had a leg shot off, be dismissed from the army and undergo a year's hard labor; that General Relss, chief of etaff of Stoessel. be dismissed and banished, and that Admiral Alexleff. Lifutei.ant General Smirnoff and General Vernunder be reprimanded DISASTROUS FOR THE RUSSIAN ARMY It wns held that the surrender wae not such an Inconsequential matter aa Stoessel thought, as it released General Nogl's army, permitting him to take part in the operations around Mukden, Which were disastrous lo the Russians. Of a race of fighters, Stoessel had performed many acts to win him the gratitude of Lis country before taking part ln the Russo-Japanese War. Ills grandfather fought against Napoleon; his father PTVed In the Emperor's L'hlun GuardB; and he, nlmself, born fifty-two years ago, served with distinction lu ti.o Russo-TurklBh War. In 1900 Stoessel was commander of a Siberian regiment. His rlrat great chance to win fame came with tho Boxer uprising, when he waa the first European* cummander to enter Tientsin, and rose to lhe rank of major-general for dash displayed In the uttuck on the Chinese capital. Tot, with apparently as little concern as one would feel at cutting mt a chicken's head, Russia, through her high army officials, has branded this man as a traitor and demanded his life. FREAKS OF SLEEPING THAT HAVE PUZZLED DOCTORS POSSIBLY the closest rival that Rip Van Winkle hns hail in flesh und blood is iHt.schell Qridor, who, at Rowenn, Ky,, ia calmly enjoying a nup whioh began twelve years ago. When he went to sleep one day il was not because of a convivial encounter with gnomes oi' the wood, 1 or was his slumber attended by nny unusual fcircuinstance. He simply arose from the dinner table, stretched his arms, yawned and casually remarked that ho guessed he'd go and lie down for about ten minutes. But it appears that his conception of 0 minute was nil wrong. Fed liquid nourishment twice a day, he holds his own physically; his limbs remain supple; he seems in no danger of dying soon. - His is but another strange ease of prolonged sleep, a queer malady, which, in various forms, has puzzled the best physicians of modern timos. While history seems to show no other continuous nap of the same duration, there are others as remarkable in some respects. THF man who Is just now monopolizing the attention of scientists and curiosity seekers throughout a large [iortion of Kentucky Is 63 years old; but If he should awake tomorrow he would probably contend stoutly lhat he ls but 61. lt would be no easy task to convince one that he has dropped twalvt vears out of hla life. Think what lt would mean lo him. When he went to sleep Grover Cleveland wns President of the United States. Hew cuuld he grasp the fact that In the mean- titr.e a President has been assassinated and that another has taken his place? For lhe sake of popular inteiest, If not of science, It would be interesting to Bee aged Mr. Grlder awake; but the physicians say it is quite unlikely that he ever will, unless he should experience a brief cuimo luu sues* preceding death. Seldom have victims of prolonged sleeping been awakened, ln Africa some mysterious element In tho atmosphere or vegetation, spread by the bite of a ily, causes what is called the "Sleeping Sickness." in one instance, recently, in the United States, a man did awake afler a three months' sleep, und what ho told about bis experience lu the Land of Nod will prove of lntoresi to BCtaqce. lie was William Bohnable, < 3ti years old, who returned to Ills home lu 1'hlladelpliiu alter having been Injured on the head at Denver, und a few day* aftoiwartl fell Into his long sleep, When he awoke In the Philadelphia nospilul, lie asked the nurse, confusedly, "is it loo late io g-j iu work?" Alter a while he recalled many things that had occurred during his imp, but was unable tu separate the actualities from ids dreams. In another Instance, reported by Dr. Scull, a specialist 011 the brain, u man of Si awoke utter having been asleep fifteen months. The Hrst emotion he betrayed was anxiety about H field of oats Which was Just sprouting When lu- wfnt to sleep, lie was greatly nslonlHhed to learn that the outs had been harvested and the t*a:no field was then knee deep willi corn. After coming out of his sleep he grew rapidly worse wilh phthisis, and died In eighteen months. The university of Pennsylvania Hospital, In Philadelphia, some vei^s ago, furnished it curious case-thai of Clara Gilchrist, a victim of hysteria, who took a nap lasting seveinl months. She wns finally aroused by being beaten with wet towels, and soon afterward returned to her home In Ireland, apparently well. The form or sleeping most often encountered In America la not nssoclutcd by physicians with lhe African malady. It Is believed to be caused, usually, by a secretion in the kidneys which gats Into the blood, and, by acting ou the while corpuscles, creutus somnolence, An Interesting case Is Ihnt of a patient who took nourhrhmunt, even sitting up in bed occasionally to drink a oup ol coffee. But throughout It all there was no awakening.

'■*: ?>5^ *s OF CLEMENCEAU CAB tl CONNECT ' 111 ••■ - *A> 7~\ATHER a strange fact it seems that, ft while the eyes of the world have heen -*■ *■ turned upon stirring events in trance during the last- few weeks, the Ministers guiding the French ship of State through tortuous channels have been, for the most part, men whose business it is to give news of such events to the public. When Premier Clemenceau formed the new French Cabinet late in October he filled nine of the twelve portfolios with newspaper men. Some of them, like himself, were editors cf distinction. Others were political or special writers attached to the staffs of leading Paris papers. Several had served an apprenticeship, reporting proceedings in the French Parlia* ment which was now called upon to support their policy as Ministers. Confronted b)' momentous conditions upon beginning official life, and pledged to a programme of immense possibilities, A7. Clemenceau s neve Cabinet of editors buckled down to work with the assurance of men not unfamiliar with crises. As calmly as though directing the tone of an editorial or shaping the policy of a newspaper, they faced and grappled with one of the epoch-making situations of the world's history. RECOGNIZED for years as one of lhe greatest edltnrs of Europe—he has long been actively directing the work of La Justlce-M. Georges Cl^menceau's great opportunity as a statesman did not come until his sixty-fifth year. Perhaps for that reason he sought to Insure the success of his administration and the carrying out of his policies by surrounding himself with men of his own profession, in whose ability he had perfect confidence and whose loyalty to himself and the republic could not be doutttd. Ciemer.ceau had long been known ns a Cabinet- breaker; many a Ministry had gone down under his n'erclless lire of criticism and exposure. When hla own tui-n came to form a Cabinet he determined to build strongly and well. Indeed, eo determined was he to have about him mer that he wished that he created a new portfolio, Increasing the number of Cabinet positions from eleven to twelve, in order to Include a newspaper man of his selection, Apparently he had little difficulty in finding suitable material In thc editorial rooms of France. On October tl Preildent Fallieres Intrusted hlm with tbe task of forming the new Ministry. Within forty-two hours the Indefatigable worker presented his Cabinet to the Chief Exrcutlve, who smiled as he letnarked: "Well, you certainly lost no time. You have the reputation of being able to overturn Ministries quicker than any man living, and, so far as I can recollect, you have now beaten the time record In forming one." Bo swiftly did the new Premier rush through the ■treets of Paris In a hired automobile upon this mission tl .'. hi was once arrested by a vigilant policeman, compelled tc give his name and address and proceed al a i - moderate gait uf the newspaper men with whom he a irrounded 1* -.-e.f, M.

Premier Clemer.cfau, of course, at once became th* brilliant and central figure of the new Cabinet. He has been called tbe best-hated and the most-admired tr.an In France, he Iovub fighting, and he hits herd and -Quickly. Here Is a pen plctuie by a French writer: "Physically, M Clemenceau Is tbo perfect type of the man of action. Hii square head, wllh Hn overhanging brows anu ih-ort chin, pioclalms lhu lui.-^n.- —r ^~ CdffflBL Minister of fmm on SttffcfLefappd tiess of his race, of llie Breton, In him reveals. "Bristling eyebrows are above the clear, malicious eyec, which sparkle, plerca und dart n furtiu lightning, while the eyelids quiver In a gentle, almost Imperceptible smile; ihe thin lips are hidden under a heavy mustseb* which stands out from tho prominent cheek bones; the tall, thin, silhouette, lhe proudly creel figure, the vigorous gait and the nervous goat ure—all characteristically proclaim the. man," "emenceau is the man credited with pulling down President Grevy and pulling Camot Into his place; he brought about the election of President Luubet. He says hlmaeli that he cannot remember how many Ministries ho has driven frum offlce, how many Individual Ministers he has forced from the Cabinet. He forced General Boulanger from office when the political intrigues and designs of the "man on horseback" were discovered; three times Iw overthrew M. Froyetnet, to say nothing of a number uf U-ss conspicuous victims. A remarkable career has been his as a duelist. One of the fineet swordHmen In France, and a crack revolver snot as well, he has boen principal In a do2en celebrated duels and a second in as many more. It required a long time to arrange his noted encounter with M'. DeruuU-.de In LSS1, because he Insisted that hostilities should continue until blood was shed-a Condition thai aroused vigorous remor.strar.ee. When a young man Clemenceau studied medicine, but after his graduation preferred to devote his,time to writing and to politics. Soon after th* Civil War he visited the United Hiatus and wrote a si-ries of en tenanting lett'irs for Le Temps. For a lime the young Frenchman taught literary history at an academy for young women at Sttmi rd, Conn. Evidently he did lorae successful love-making at the same tuna, for when he left he took away or,* of his fair pupil". Uiss Mary Plummer, a* Ms wife. In 1370, when tne war w:;'* Gerr.ary : **■ ■>> <. ,* menceau returned to France. After Sedan and the proclamation of the republic, his old friend Etlenne Arago, nominated him Mayor of MVmtmartre, one of the twenty districts of Pails. ClemenCbnu was M'ayor throughout lhe Commune, and fought, with no little danger to himself, fur greater moderation. He became a inembtr ol the National Assembly and member of lhc Chamber of Deputies when the Assembly was no more. Later he became a member of the Senate. Fur the last thirty years, practically without a break, Georges Clemenceau, in Parliament and out of It, has been ine critic of the government. For fifteen years he wati the leader uf tlie Left, the man who never climbed the stepa of the tribune lu the Chamber without attacking bltturly a government which, as he snid one day, "consisted of men who only managed io remain In office by refusing, when they got there, to do what they had premised while they were In Opposition." PREMIER ALWAYS A HARD WORKER During much of this time M. Clemenceau was the busy managing editor of La JusUce. Always a lu.rd worker, he never approved the easy-going ways of tha average French "Journalist," as each newspaper man there flights to call himaelf. Once he posted thlB notlci in the office of the paper: "The gentlemen on the staff of La JuBtlce are requested not to lea*.* the office before they have arrived." Clemenceau'a hwroio stand for Justice and the honor of France In the famous Dreyfus case, when he wrote, for months, article after article defending Dreyfus and denouncing the "conspiracy" against him, had much to do with elevating him to leadership. Of slmpie personal tastes, the French Premier dresses plainly and lives quleily. He scorns the pomp of his official residence, and remains ln his ground-floor flat In th* Rue Franklin, his home for nearly twenty years. His life ii one of toll; he arises, frequently, at half- pan 1 in the morning to begin the work of the day, and Pidionjomgn flffairsMliameolary Reporter docs not seek rest again unlil 11 at night The simplest food suffice*, but he would not forego spending as much time as possible In the little garden of his home. Just as devoted to both Journalism and politics ls M. Arlstlde Brland, Minister of Public Instruction und Worship, upon whose shoulders has fallen the brunt of supporting the Premier during the exciting weeks of Church controversy in France. Born and reared In St. N-azaire, he adopted the low as a profession, and practiced lt fur several years. His leisure moments were occupied in writing for the newspapers, and In this way he attained such prominence that he decided to devote his llie to newspaper wurk. In that work, too, he saw a better opportunity of attaining his political ambitions. Journeying to Paris, he Joined the staff of La Lantern*, nf which paper he became chlof e'dltor In time. He Ia accounted an able, clever, newspaper man and a power In Paris Journalism. Active participation ln political affairs ns nn Independent Socialist soon brought Us reward ln the shape of an election to the National Chamher of Deputies, representing the Snlnt Etlenne constituency, He wan recognized as on** of the most active, Influential nnd best-Informed members of that body, nnd soon after reaching his forty-third year was Invited Into the Cabinet. Learning statesmanship as well as Journalism under Clemenceau, M. Plchon, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was depended upon by the Premier in the selection of his On! Inct to carry out his Ideas. Like his chief, Plchon first Intended to teek fame nnd fortune aa a physician, but newspaper work, politics and diplomacy swerved his purpose Into other channels. When yet a young man he Joined the staff of La Justice, reporting the proceedings of Parliament tor some time and later graduating Into the class of editorial writers. Twenty years ago he become a Deputy for Paris and took a prominent part In opposing Boulnnglsm, but lm Interested himself principally ln studying foreign policy. Losing his sent In 18P3, he was sent as Minister to Ban Domingo, where ho solved some complicated proh- leius. Later ho went lo Brazil, and there performed meritorious scvlco for his country. This lid to his promotion to thc post of Minister to China, ami he was one of the band of diplomats who lield out against tho Boxer uprising. . As Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Plchon, Clemenceau thought, would be able to bring to his aid the experience of yeara spent in the diplomatic service in, well as thc knowledge of men und affairs gained during his long apprenticeship In newspaper work. General Georges Plcquort, culled into the Cabinet as War Minister, is classed by his friends »s a modem Bayard. His newspaper work has been dono largely ai* a side Isbup. as his devotion to the army is reul iw intense. FOUGHT FOR DREYFUS At (he Fame lime his articles In Le Matin have attracted attention throughout France, and have been commented upon In other European countries. To more than nny other one mnn, perhaps—although Clemenceau may share the honors with him—lhe final Justice thut came to Captain Dreyfus may b*e placed to the credit of General Plcquart. He never believed Theyfue* guilty; he suspected from the first the origin of nccusatlonn against him and tbe cruel conspiracy which was later proved, nnd risked not only his position nnd reputation, but his lifo In behalf of the condemned man, Both France and the French army have confidence In him. M. Vivlanl, "the most radical member," ns he was termed at the time of his elevation lo Cabinet rank- Premier Clemenceau created a new department In order to Include him In the Ministry—la spoken of as a broad- minded, progressive man, although of Socialistic tendencies. He ls an eloquent orator, and Is known throughout France Ior his advocacy of better things for the working man. Hc has been for some time one of the most active workers on the editorial staff of La Petlto Re- pul.llque, and, in addition, la a lawyer of no mean ability. M, MIIUcs-La Croix, Minister of the Colonies, waa for many years a regulnr reporter on the staff of Le fllocle, while M. Runn, Minister of Agriculture, baa confined bis Journalistic labors principally to writings for magazines nnd agricultural publications. lu his Cabinet.of newspaper men Premier Clemenceau hm. the greatest confidence. Few other Ministries ever took olliee In the face of such momentous Issues as have- been confronting France. SMOKING Till* PIPE-AN ART WORTH KNOWING THERE ar.1 pipes .md pip'--, md smoker! will assert that one pipe differs i'r- m an other in delightful qualities, just as one star differs from another m glory. A pipe doesn't huvo to be costly to be good, nor is a cheap pipe necessarily iinsati lory, A corncob pipe, constructed upon correct principles is far better than a high-priced meerschaum tba doesn't do its full duty. Smokers who havn not purchased intelligently are constantly irritated hy defects in their pipes; the completely toothing, satisfying effects an- not theirs. The reason 1 Thf pipes are not correct in construction. IN THK way of material, nothing ls better than corncob. Hence, with a pocket-knife, a rob snd a reed for a stem, a pipe may be made in a few minutes that will prove equal to 'he most costly, The secret of merit In a plpl Is a matter of construction purely, nol of material. Tba wonder le thai wo f*w men know It At the bottom, It la a question of proper draught. Wllh regard to a aiove or furnace, the Importance of draught is well understood, but It Is seldom ibought uf In connection with the pipe. Proper draught deoands ipun lhe shape of the how] and tlie way In which the etui of the stem opens Into IL The howl should he deep, Its sides thick, its bore mall and even; nnd the item should open Into It at thl very bottom and In the centre Of the utmost Importance Is tha location of ths draught hole In the bottom of the bowl. It should be at ths bottom and In the exact centre. Molt plp*»B— perhaps the majority- have the stem in- tranre at ni* bottom, but at one side of the bowl. This mean* that the draught downward through th* tobacco Is made obliquely, and a considerable notion of the pipe's eontintl '■* not properly ignited With th« stern entrance In the CintM of the bottom, lhe tobacoo burns evenly on al] aides of the howl, and lho smoke is cool, pleasiint, fragrant and satisfying.
