The Herald, 1904-01-08, Page 6Tit RUSSIAN AS A SOLDIER 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 Ito maintain contact with the en- elAye l A 31iss, Toronto News. Miss Rhona.

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 snuff than ever is made and used.

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- tures by the great masters. ,The blueberry cedar is very ef- fective ffective in some decoration and so is the feathery running cedar. It does 'not require a, great deal' of holly 'to give the brightening touch when stuck in amongst the cedar, spruce andine, and even without these it win give a festive look to a room.
