Tokio, Feb. 22.-A telegram frelen
I Matsuye, a fortified town of South-
western Japan, reports that cannon -
ii tiding was heard on Satarday morn,
i ing off Minamisaki, on the northern,
. part of the Shimano Peninsula.
, The crew of the Japanese steamer
1Tamagawayaru, which has arrived
at Shimonoseki, reports that she
was followed seven miles off Pusan,
Corea, by four warships. The latter
abandoned the chase near Tsushinaa
Island, midway between Shimonose-
ki and Fusan.
Neves . 11,,,seeeeer :eei r, heiy.
Four Russian warships that wore
, at Vladivostock when the war start-
ed cut their way out of the ice there,
and have previously been reported as
threatening the northern coast of
'Japan. Once they were falsely re -
ported sunk by the Japanese. If
ithy are now off the south coast of
!Japan, as indicated in the above.
'despatch, they are a menace to the
!Japanese transports carrying the big
army to Corea, though the latter
, are probably convoyed by a strong
isquadron of warships. A naval en-
gagement is therefore not unlikely.

Aden, Feb. 22. -The Peninsula ifa
;Oriental Company's steamer Mon-
golia encountered at noon on Sat-
urday, 460 miles north of Aden, a
!Russian battleship and four torpedo
boat destroyers. After the vain at-
tempt of a destroyer to cut off the
'Mongolia, all the warships gave
chase. but, being unable to overtake
her, they signalled her to 'top. The
Mongolia obeyed and a destroyer, ate
ter a close scrutiny, signalled "Beg
to be excused." The fleet is evident-
ly hoping to capture Japanese ships..
*lupe About Por t Arthur.
Port Arthur, Feb. 22. -Sounds of
desultory firing at sea are hoard al-
most nightly, and yesterday morn-
ing firing was again heard. This is
doubtless due to the attempted ap-
proach of Japanese torpedo boats,
but nothing serious has developed.
The garrison is in excellent spirits
and is firmly convinced of the ulti-
:elate success of the Russian arms.
The Novikrai prints a long artiale
invoking historical precedents. to
prove the illegality of the Japanese
declaration that coal and victuals
svill in cases be treated as contras
band of war. The paper describes
Japan's attitude as barefaced pre-
srsiiiiiiftraii and urgee thes neutral'
powers to disregard and not to
fuse to s.upply belligerent shins with
coal to carry them to their nearest
home port.
It follows, therefore, The Novikrai
says, that the British Government
should allow Russian ships at Sin-
gapore to take on sufficient coal to
enabie them to reach :Port Arthur.

ent the farmers have plenty Of talent,
more than most people suppose they

Inany•of them are unable to handle one
branch successfully. This iS Well il-,

oceur every year, regardless of good

this seems to be that men do not un-
derstand their own talents or for what
sort of farming they are adapted.
It is not an Macointhola thing for men
to become unduly interested in the
great Animal auction sales and excited
by tbe exorbitant prices that are often
realized during the booms. During theiet

in the manufacture of coarse, strong
soaps, is an excellent cleanser for very
dirty articies, but it cannot be used on
fine fabries. •
Amnionia le known as the "volatile

rates without having done the least
service and leaves the inexperieneed
blanchisseuse wondering why her flan-

white.
Borax is one Of the finest alkalis. It
Is used in 'washing the most delicate
fabrics and in cleansing colored mate-

It adds a little to the etiffnese and helps

In his last work, "Facts and*Cont-

rieus bit of Self revelation. He con-
fesses that, though he particularly liked
the society of young* people, It bored
him to an uneladUrable extent if they
worried nina with unintelligent chatter,
and that to avoid this It Was his MIS -
tom to ask them some question Which •
could net be answered without a good
