FRIDAY, APRIL, 29, 1904.
Russia's Vladivostock fleet, after
sinking a Japanese merchantman
in Gensan harbor, has again dis-
appeared. It is supposed, the ap-
pearance of the long -lost squadron
off the Lorean coast was to gauge
the strength of the Japanese defen-
ses and cause a diversion frau the
operations on the Yalu. The pres-
ence of the Vlaclivostock fleet con.,
stitutes a. serious menace to the
Japanese transports. Tho cruisers
of this fleet are powerful and fast,
and to keep it in check may cost
a big drain on Togo's fleet off Port
Arthur. Nothing is known of the
whereabouts of the Japanese fleet
which was supposed to have the
Russians bottled in Vladivostock
harbor. A report from Tien Tsin
says New Clwang has been bom-
barded, and Kuropatkin reports
that a small Japanese force has
crosses. the Yalu and is preparing
for the Mikaclo's main advance.. It
is again reported that Alexieff is to
step out and Kuropatkin given the
supreme command in the far east
Russia has plaided a $160,000,000
loan in Paris.
The Ontario Legislature was pro-
rogued on Wednesday by Lieuten-
ant -Governor Clark and gave.
formal assent to 107 bills passed
during the session. The 1004 vol-
ume of the Ontario Statutes will
not be quite as large as the last
year, when 14 bills were put
through. Owing to the destrw'tion
in the great fire of the printing
oili(es of Warwiel. Bros. Se Ratter,
there are only forty printed "royal
assent" copies of the bi115. tido re-

The Cheese Trade 1903.
In his report regarding the cheese
trade ot 1903, Mr. A, W. Grindley,
Agent of the Department • of Agri.
culture in Great Britain, makes
some suggestions that merit the
attention, of ivakers and • exporters -
He says :—"The 'cheese season of
1902 was a most successful one ;
there was a large increase in the
quantity and the 'steady irnprove-
ntent in the quality was so great,
that in spite of very heavy supplies
the prices realized on the whole
were satisfactory. The mild sweet
palatable flavor, as distinguished
from the heated and biting charac-
ter so noticeable in former years,
has created alarge consumptive
demand., which will have a tendency
to do away with the disproportion
in value. between Canadian and
English Cheddar.
The practice of shipping too new
or "green" cannot be too emphatic-
ally condernnc d as i t not only spoils
the sale, but hurts 'the reputation
of Canadian cheese. The salesman
as well as the exporter are to blame
for sending these immature cheese.
and the latron,a of factories should
insist that their cheese should sae
held in the curing room until it is
iu such a condition as will give
satisfaction to the British consumer
Cool Oaring of Cheese. The dif-
ference in the quality of cheese
held in the Government cool cerin
rooms was very noticeable, not onl
in quality, but in general appeal
ante. This improvement is due t
cool curing and 'waxing' the Ghees
which also bas the advantage o
preventing a considerable percent
age of shrinkage. During the sea
son of 1002 when 'waxed' Ghees
first appeared on the British Ina
kcets, serve of the Grocers Associa
tion:; objected, and even went s
far as to demand an allowance i
weights, but -it •was soon prove(
that there was less shrinkage.,tvhic
added to the improved quality and
appearance of the cheese, quickly
created. a brisk demand for cheese
c•i)niing from the Government cur-
ing stations, at an adraz sed price
compared to the cheese coming from
the ordinary factories.
Boxing Cheese. The percentag
of broken boxes was not so higI
during 1903, althongh it still runs
very high ranging from 5 to 2:5 per
cent. The falling off in breakage
is due to :— 1. Daanp season, which
makes the boxes lose brittle. 2.
More care on the part of the ship-
ping companies in loading. stowing
un.d discharging cargoes, this work
being closely watched by the In-
spectors of your Department... 3.
The use of boxes of better quality.
The latter point was very notice-
able. in cheese conning from the
Government curing stations, the
boxes baing made of heavier nut-
terial: the percentage of broken
boxes did not run above two pe
cent, which proves that. it is false
economy to buy cheap boxes.
Clare should be taken not to us-•
green, unseasoned boxes as the.
c�'cse, particularly the top and
bottom; may be damaged( in quality

other boys took a trip on their bi-
cycles. • Harry had brought his
wheel with him, and enjoyed the
trip ever the new country very
much.
After they baud gone: a distance,
they' all stopped for refreshments,
and ho soon found himself standing
at a. bar in a saloon.
'what will von have, Harry?' he
heard ono of his new friends in-
gniring.
- 'I'll take a glass of lemonade, if
you please,' answered Harry.
Pretty good joke, Harrs-; but
you don't get snob stuff here ; we
acre till going to have boor ; I'll
order one for yon, ton." And be-
fore he could think of an answer,
the bartender had placed it before
kiln.
g Harry felt a lump in his throat;
y bet with a fixed determination
'
answered:
o • 'No, 1 do not drink.'
e 'Pshaw !'exclaimed 0110 of the
f 'young men •you are not temper-
- ince, are yon:'
A glass of )mer cannot hurt you ;
e it is healthful,' said another.
r- 'I promise.. mother,' replied Har-
- ry, -that I would not. drink any -
o thing that night make a drunkard
n of me, and if 1 never begin, 1 shall
c never have to stop ; no one has
h ever become a drunkard who refus-
ed the first glass ; and there are
mans drunkards who meant to
stop after they had tasted beer or
liquor "just once" ; no, I shall not
drink.'
It was a long speech for Tarry
to make, but he thought of .liis
o mother's prayer, and resolved that
a she should not pray in rain. He
expected the 'boys to ridicule his
remarks. When Tom Ankers, the
young man who had worked next
to hint at the store, therefore took
him by the hand, and with emotion
said : 'Thank yon, Harry ; Uiy
mother used to tell me the same
thing ; sho thinks her boy has
never brought the intoxicating cup
to his lips ; I promise you that
from to -night on I shall try to keep
it, it sitrpi'isecl Harry greatly.
But 11i5 surprise increased when
one of the other young men came
forward anxl said: 'I promised rely
present employer that I would
r never again enter as 501(0n to drink.
when lie site. ole in one the last
time, and he told 100 he creole( not
e keep young men in his employ who
were addicted to the drink habit
II wanted to keep my promise, but
ailty ays was afraid to refuse when
in the company of the others.'
'Boys,' said Adana Wagner, 'this
is the first time I ever took a drink.
My father died a drunkard, and I
have often heard him say that the
first glass was the opening of a life
of misery. He often asked hie to
leave all intoxicating drinks alone ;
1 mean to do so after to -day, and
yon fellows must help me to keep
my premise,'
'We shall, wo shall,' replied 1 is
friends immediately.
'But tell us, Harry,' said the
young man who had spoken after
Tom.; 'how wits it nosiibie for you
to retusel) Didn't Yon. expect us
all . to laugh at your remarks?
what gave yen .such courage in
this hoar of(langer?'

Saved'b^y Prayer,
'Gond-bye, Harry ; remember

your safety.'
These were the last words Harry
boasd as he wont out of the gate
toward the railway station to take
the train for New York. The words
kept ringing in his ears as the train
passed rapidly out of the village,
and new scenes came to his view.
At the station in New York Oily
his uncle was waiting for him.
In a few days Harry was at work
in the new, grand. store of his
uncle. There he became acquaint -

to join their excursion parties in

THE picture shown is one dear to every man, woman, •
boy and girl, on account of its meaning—" The Vic-
toria Cross," given for conspicuous bravery. If only
the soil of South Africa could voice the deeds performed
upon it, how many Victoria Crosses would have been
found . to have been earned ' by Canada's sons! It is
hard in .the heat of action to notice every act of valor, and
therefore only those which take place under the eye of
superiors of sufficient rank can be noted.
The picture shows one of such deeds. Two troopers are
closely . pressed by the enemy.The horse of one is hit.
Under the withering fire, the mari .whose mount is unharmed,.
halts, and, risking everything, waits to get his comrade safely
mounted behind him and carry him back to the Canadian
lines. It is a desperate deed, and one often performed but;
seldom noticed. When, however, such an act is seen, the
reward dear to soldiers' hearts above every other is the
result.
This picture is from the brush of Mr. W. B. Wollen, an
artist famed for his war pictures, one whose work appears in
all the leading illustrated periodicals of the Empire, It is a
forceful subject from the hand of a strong man.
