Tho Nagasaki correspondent of tho

der dato of February 22nd, reports
that tho Japanoso squadron has cap
tured four Itusslan torpedo boats at
Port Arthur by using Itusslan signals.
This dispatch appears to confirm re
ports from various Quarters ot a fresh
attack on Port Arthur by tho Jap
anese. Tho report reached Nagasaki from
Chcfoo, nnd It adds that tho Itusslan
crows of tho four torpedo boats havo
been transferred.
No other news of this attack hm
been received In London, hut the Cho

Post, In a dispatch dated February
S2nd, says the statement Is current
thcro (hat tho Japanoso torpcJo boat
destroyers In tho attack on Port Ar
thur on February 14th sunk or dam
aged two Itusslan battleships, In addi
tion to tho torpedo boats already re
ported. It Is possible, therefore, that tho re
port of the Telegraph's Nagasaki cor
respondent also refers to tha earlier
attack.

Farmers' Review,
Chicago, July 22, 1903.
Most of tha prairies in the United
States have ccsscd to exist Man has
broken thorn up with orchards, for
ests and farm buildings. But In
Western Canada the prairies still
stretch grandly from horizon to hori
zon as yot unmarred by the hand of
nan, savo where the Iron road has
been laid. To a city man thcie Is
something deliclausly restful about
the ast grassy solitudes.
Numerous clumps ot trees mark the
course of tho Asslnlbolne river, which
keeps In sight of the railroad fur somo
distance.
"drnss Is one of iho notable things
about all tho landscape of Western
Canada. It Is a remarkable fact that
the cntlro length of tho Canadian Pa
cific railway from Its eastern termi
nus to tho Rocky Moantalns Is over
plains where grass grows. Tho sago
brush appears at some points, but
never to the exclusion of grass. There
Is thus not a mile of this country that
cannot bo used fur somo agricultural
purpose either for tilling or ranch
ing. "Moose Jaw Is a town of over 2,000
Inhabitants, nnd ono ot tho most Im
portant places In ABslnlbola, being tho
center of a very good farming coun
try and a great grain and stock ship
ping point.
. "Near Mooso Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand In hand; for near
tho town was seen a herd of beef
cattle several hundred In number. On
another sldo was seen a good sized
herd of dairy cows, tho property of
tho citizens In tbo town.
"In riding oer tho prairies wo saw
many good fields ot alfalfa. Tho great
need of tho country Is timber, which
grows readily where planted, aa was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some of tho farms, and tbo trees on
tbo residence lots In tho town.
"Stories wero told tho writer of
men who last year cleared from their
wheat crop moro than tho land on
which It was grown originally cost
them. This is ens) to bcllcvo. In vlow

SHARKS N TORPEDO WORK.
Suggestion That tho Great Fish Da
Utilized In the Naval Service.
All sortt of queer devices are of
fered the army hoard ot ordnance and
fortifications ns engines of destruc
tion. One ot the strangest sugges
tions ot this kind yet presented to the
consideration of the board contem
plates the uso ot largo fish, prefer
ably sharks, for the propulsion of ub
marine torpedoes. According to tho
plan proposed a shark Is to bo Im
prisoned In a tube at tho rear end ot
tho projectile and Is to bo controlled
In Its movements by tbo active appli
cation ot wireless telegraphy.
In caso tho shark became restless
and attempted to swim away on his
own nccount It wax to bo given an
electric shock, and In that way kept
on Its courso until tho torpodo had
reached Its target. Another remark
ably Ingenious proposition emanated
from tho samo fertile brain, and con
templated tho employment of war
balloons In any desired direction. In
this case also tho birds, harnessed
to tho aerial vehicles, wro to bo con
trolled In tbelr movements by a sys
tem of wireless telegraphy. Theso
balloons were to bo provided with
torpedoes, or bombs, which could he
dropped at any desired point by the
uso of wireless telegraphy.

Oil In American Machinery.
The prcjudlco against blood that li
a part ot the rallglon of the Hindoos
has been mado to servo a useful pur
pose. Whon the American cnglneeri
wero building an electric power sta
tion In tho Mysore territory in south
ern India they found tbat something
was wrong with tho lubrication of th
machinery. Tho oil disappeared. They
discovered that a Hindoo must, by1 hll
religion, take a periodical hath In oil.
To him oil Is oil, Tho -vorkmen had
drained the bearings for bathing pur
poses. How to stop tho thlovlng was a
puzzling problem until somcono solved
It Tho Hindoo does not cat meat
and he will not touch anything that
has blood In It Two or threo animals
wero killed, thereforo, and blood was
dripped into tho bearings. There was
no moro stealing of oil, however many
other things wero stolen.

The Future Life of Animals.
Sir William Blundcn, a doctor and
baronet, baa Just favored a meeting
ot the Society for the Prevention ot
Cruelty to Animals with somo views
on the future stato ot animals. Ha
"certainly betloycd," bo said, "In the
future iralstenco ot animals, and
though he cculd not bring forward
evidence in support ot tho proposi
tion, bo culd not at tha same time
bring forward evldenco to tbe con
trary. If they took the caso ot the
tinker's ass, which was born and
reared In hardship, he found It hard
to think tbat a merciful Creator
formed that animal merely to Buffer
at tbo hands ot man without receiv
ing somo compensation In tho next
llfo. If not in the present"
How Much Sleep Is NecessaryT
A proper amount ot sleep is, ot
course, absolutely essential to con
tinued irood bsalth, but. If dietetic
habits are correct, It Is a matter
which will regulate Itself, If a rule Is
needed, one will follow naturally
from tho fact tbat almost everyone
feels languid on waking and Is dis
posed to take another nap, no matter
how long he has been sleoplng. This
Is a morbid sensation which It would
take too long to explain hero. It Is
enough to say that lack nt sleep
should be mado up, If possible, at the
beginning and not at tbo end. The
best general rule Is to rlso at a glv
on hour every morning, whether tired
or not, and go to bed when sleepy..

STOVE IN THE POCKET.
Chinese Ward Off Winter's Rigors by
Carrying Hsnd Furnaces.
Tho contented smile of the "heathen
Chlneo" may ba partially accounted
for by tholr Indifference to the cold
ness of tho winter months. For la
tho north of China they care not
whether they be Indoors or out; they
always havo a stove with them In tha
shapo ot a hand furnace. Instead ot
tho flro being placed In tho house It
Is carried about tho person, beneath
tho thickly padded cotton garments
or In tho hand; at times It Is placed
beneath the chair on which the Celes
tial Is seated. Tho discovery of this
unlquo method of avoiding wlntcr'a
rigors was mado by a travolcr In Fu
klen prolnco, whoso attention was at
tracted to the universal and peculiar
deformities ot Its Inhabitants. Strange
swellings projected In the most unac
countable places on the anatomy ot
tho villagers. Speculations wero set
at rest by an old gentleman, who re
moved his coat and disclosed a small
copper furnace secured around bis
waist with a band and neatly covered
with basket work. This artificial
mode of warming the body is only re
sorted to In time ot extrcmo cold, as
on ordinary occasions tho people deem
their thick clothing a sufficient pro
tection during winter.

Gainesville. Texas, FlbT23aj.--Mr- L ..'
L. E. Burton of 107 Olad street thlf !
city, writes the following letter:
"I have been awfully troubled with
my Kldnoys; I was In a bad flx and
had been doctoring with tbe Doctors,
but was getting no better. I tried a
remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills and
I found thoy did me lots or good. I
had a slight return of my troublo t . '
and I went to tho Drug Store and call
ed for Dodd's Kldr.oy Pills. They said
thcro was no such pills. I told them
there was. They said thoy had tho
best pills that wero made and per
sunded mo to try a box of nnothar
Jlnd, not Dodd's. As I needed somo
medicine, I bought a box, but they
did mo no good so I went clsowhcro
and got tbo real Dodd's Kidney Pills
and very soon was completely curod.
I took a box up to tho Drug Storo nnd
showed them that thcro was such
pills and atltcd thorn to order some,
but as I haven't needed nny moro I
haven't called to see whether or not
they got them."

Keeping Down the Dill.
A very parsimonious old man waa
stricken with Illness somo time ago. 1
His chances of recovery were not
many, and to his knowledgo ot this
was addod a dlro anticipation of the-
cost ot tho numerous visits ot the doo-
tor. Suddenly tho old man died, and
his llttlo granddaughter, who seemed
to share tbe latter sentiment, called
to tho doctor as sho saw him ap- J
proacb: "It's all over, doctor; you '7
needn't come in."
