ing, 'We will be very sick If the rail-

SnvlnR Grace of I'nbellef.
One scientist says meat is not good
for us; another jumps upon coffee;
another attacks white bread: the milk
carries disease, while 5.000,000 bacteria
are busy on every strawberry, and
even the money is full of germs. If
we believed all we see we should take
to the woods.

ground to hope will be peaceable, Is

Korea Offer* n Solution.
It is said that every bachelor in
Korea, no matter his age, is regarded
as a child, and treated as a child. Even
If he be 70, he may not knot up his
hair in manly fashion, or assume the
garb of a man. Here is a suggestion
for the solution of the great bachelor
problem In this country. It is better
than taxing.
Profanity Und for Hornet.
An owner of race horses, not at all a
sentimental person, recently made an
order forbidding his employes to talk
in a loud tone or to swear in the stable,
"I have never yet seen a good mannered
horse," he says, "that was being sworn
at all the time. It hurts the feelings
of a sensitive horse, and I'll keep my
word good to discharge any man In
my employ if I catch him swearing
within the hearing of any horse in this
stable."

Kuropatkln Ilefralna from Fighting
St. Petersburg, May 8.—According to
a persistent rumor, Gen. Kuropatkln
decided not to give battle at Feng-
Wang-Cheng. The Russians have fal-
len back and the Japanese have re-
occupied Feng-Wang-Cheng.
The telegrah ofllce refuses to accept
messages for Port Arthur.
The Russian retreat from Feng-
Wang-Cheng is confirmed. Japanese
pressed the retreating troops, though
with few losses to either side. The
Japanese destroyed the railway at Port
Adams, blowing up the bridges.
Gen. Kuropatkln forwarded a mes-
sage from Lieut. Gen. Zaasalltch, who
had been left In command of the col-
umn retiring from Feng-Wang-Cheng,
which described the movements of the'
enemy in connection with the occupa-
tion of the town.
The information caused no surprise
to the officials, who had already bee.
advised of the decision that no attempt
would be made to hold Feng-Wang-
Clieng, the superiority of the Japanese
in all fighting arms insuring a disaster
similar to that at Kiau-Tien-Cheng
Therefore Gen. Zassalltch was {.-lven
strict orders that there should be no
fight of the rear guard. The Russians
left while Gen. Kuroki was making his
dispositions for a big battle.
The Japanese approached from two
directions along the main road and up
the valley, placing batteries so as to
command the town. This procedure on i
the part, of Gen. Kuroki shows that!
the entire Japanese plan of operation
had been thoughtfully prepared and
that every division commander knew
exactly what he should do.
Iaolatlon of Port Arthur Complete.
Shan-Hai-Kwan, May 9.—It is re-
ported here that thfre has been severe
fighting at Feng-Wang-Cheng, in which
the Japanese were victorious. They
took many prisoner®
The Russians are retreating toward
Haicheng (32 miles east by north of
Nluchwang) and are evacuating the
western side of the Liao Tung penin-
sula.
Heavy firing has been heard in the
direction of Kai-Chau, where Japanese
transports have been seen reeentlv.
The islolation of Port Arthur is com-
plete. Sixteen Japanese warships pro-
tected the landfng of troops at Kin-
ehau bay, directing a sweeping fire
over the narrow isthmus before the ;
soldiers disembarked. Seventy-five
Russians who were wounded in this
fighting were brought to Nluchwang
on the last train to arrive there.
Food is scarce at Mukden; the troops
there are eating bean cakes.
The Russians are preparing to evac-
uate Nluchwang and that city is in a
turmoil of hurried flight.
A prominent club woman, -
Mrs. Danforth, of St. Joseph,
Mich., tells how she was cured
of falling of the womb and its
accompanying pains and misery
byLydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
" Dear Mrs. Pijtiuiam: — Life looks
aark indeed when a woman feels that
her strength is fading away and she has
no hopes of ever being- restored. Such
was my feeling a few months ago when
I was advised that my poor health was
caused by prolapsus or falling of tho
Womb. The words sounded like a
knell to mo, I felt that my sun had set:
E* I'iukluim's Vege-
table Compound came to me as an
elixir of life ; it restored the lost forces
and built me up until my good health
returned to mo. For four mouths I
took the medicine daily, and each dose
added health and strength. I am so
thankful for thehelp I obtainedthrough
its use."—Mas. Flobence Danforth,

THE CARNEGIE DIALECT.
When He Resorts to the "Brogue"
Andrew Can Get the Best of
Them Balled Up.
Though Andrew Carnegie's English is
{angularly elegant und pure, he has at
his command a weird Scotch dialect, says
the Minneapolis Tribune.
Mr. Carnegie is a student of Scotch
words and idioms. He likes to point out
the oddities and freaks of hi.s native
tongue. Recently, at a dinner party' in
*or*' he h«iju to a young woman:
•S >;? ,think you can understand Scots,

fish ' wlle" we 8a>' a person is just
"I don't know. What do we mean?"
the young woman asked.

i Bcarum, ' said Mr. Carnegie.
"'ced harum-scarum? What is
that i
I |j 11 is the same ns wowf."
"But what is wowf?"
I .Wowf is nook or sal. That is to sav.
a bit by the east. Havers, lassie, lia'e ys
no ^cots at all
Then Mr. Carnegie laughed and ex-
plained that a weed harum-scarum, and
filisli, and wowf, and hook, and sal, and
by the east all signified one thing, "crazy."

gregation for Lucy (irev. He did so. They

IN AN OLD TRUNK.
Baby Finds a Eottle of Carbolic Acid
and Drinks It.
Corner Stone I.al.l „f a t atholin Ilo.pltal.
Jefferson City, Mo., May 9.—The cor-
ner stone of the St. Mary's hospital was
laid yesterday with ceremonies partici-

Folk tiet* More Delegate*.
Kansas City, Mo.. May 9.-Folk car-
ried ten out of the 11 counties that
held primaries Saturday. Lafayette be-
ing the only county that went for Reed.
This gives a total of 301 delegates in
the democratic state convention for
*olk for governor. The number re-
quired to nominate la 3b6.
While the mother was unpacking an
old trunk a little 18 months old baby
got hold of a bottle of carbolic acid
while playing on the floor and his stom-
ach was so badly burned it was feared
he would not live for he could not eat
ordinary foods. The mother says in
telling of the case:
It was all two doctors could do to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally I took him
into the country and tried new milk
and that was no better for him. His
Grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts,
and I am thankful I adopted the food
he commenced to get better right
away and would not eat anything else.
He commenced to get fleshy and his
cheeks like red roses and now he is en-
tirely well.
"I took him to Matamoras on a visit
ar.d every place we went to Ftay to eat
he called for Grape-Nuts and I would
have to explain how he came to call for
it as It was his main food.
"The names of the physicians who at-
tended the baby are Dr. Eddy of this
town and Dr. Geo. Gale of Newport. O.,
and anyone can write to me or to them
and learn what Grape-Nuts food will do
for children and grown-ups too." Name
