is D(seribed as Slow, Dogged turd
Fatalistic,
"`T1i.c\ARussian soldier, as I saw liim
during `. the Boxer campaign, im-
pressed me as being a fatalist of a
very practical sort," writes 0. K.
Davis in Eeverybody's Magazine. "If
if is his time to lose his life be'will
iqse it, and there is litttle use ie
trying to save it. Ile might as well
go to one place as another, and it
makes no difference whether he goes
bete a fight or keeps out of it. He
travels the line of least resistance,
and from this develops a blind, but
Often unintelligent obedience. That
sort of man makes a dangerous
fighting machine.
"With all these good qualities,
however, there are others not so
attractive. Big, strong, patient of
toil toil and hardship, he is often
clumsy, stupid and very slow—a seri-
ous fault le fighting men. There was
a good exhibition of the Russian lack
of speed the day the Pekin relief
column marched from Mahto to
Chang-chia-wan. For that morning
tt had been arranged that a Russian
battery and battalion of infantry
(should form part of the advance
'guard with the Japanese, whom the
regular formation of the column
placed in the lead. The Japanese
were doing their full share, but the
Russians would not or could not
keep the pace. .After repeated at -
'tempts to get them to do so, Ja-
' pan was obliged to ask Russia to
:withdraw its men and give room to
The Japanese, so that the required
speed could be made. The Russians
halted and formed beside the road,
while the Japanese infantry went
by them on the double, and the bat-
tery on a trot. From that time un-
til the day's distance had been made
here was no more trouble about
the failure of the advance guard

Vain War on the Cigarette.
Philadelphia Ledger.
One *PT the curious things about
tee cigarette is that the more it is
attacked, the more it is used, It has
no friends, and yet it flourishes. The
endless chain for the purpose of ob-
taining 1,000,000 signatures to a
Petition to congress asking for anti -
cigarette legislation is one of the
latest devices of the enemies of the
"coffin nail," as it is called, and we
would be willing to wager tat
nearly every, woman in the land, all
other nonsmokers and many slaves to
tobacco would sign, but we hn,ve no
confidence that the cigarette will
be abolished. Americans smoked or
paid for 3,2514,883030i cigarettes
during the last fiscal year, an In-
creaeo of 357,211,403 in a single
lyear. We used 337,840,603 pounds
of tobacco last fear in all forms
and smoked 6,7871454,108 cigars.
Contrary to general belief, more

V")t, ha•PPily, a revival of the
custom' of trimming th,e home with

sign of the homes inner joyous-

in pungent greenery to greet the
visitor with its cheer of the season,
and a. holly garland, thick with clus-
tering red berries, hung on the rod,

trance to the parlor.
It makers a beautiful effect to twine
the large pictures with cedar rope
and to mass the largo vase sand
jars full of odorous braneli
in the dining room the' central
window is the place to decorate, for
here the house plantscan help to
•w.ard the desired effect.
Have a bunch of mistletoe, with
some holly berries, in atall glass
ase on the table, and. a sprig of
cedar at each plate for a bouton-
niere; all of which helps to make
the feasting bright and jolly.
The mother and father will feel
pleased and honored to find on
Christmas 'morning that their chil-
dren Lave adorned their portraits, or
even their mere photographs, -with
s3 mbolic green.
Also hang a (bunch of it over your
Sistine Madonna, and in additon to
the greenery round the pictures of
those gone to their rest hang syca-
morebalis, as the sycamore tree fig-
ures in all the old "11 Reposa"' pic-
