1 , The Dolphin as a Pilot. : "Peiorous Jack" is the name of an oi4 : iflolphin which is protected by a special I *et of the New Zealand Legislature. |The official proclamation of the Gov- 1 .ernrnent prohibits any interference 1 i.trlth Pelorous Jack under a penalty of I '?100. j According to an old sailor's tale, a j ithoal of dolphins grounded on the i ' horcs of Cook Strait forty years ago. |and one of them escaped into the sea. That one, which is now acknowledged *o b? Pelorous Jack, never left the lo- | cality where he lost his companions, and "he is now protected by law as he j 'lias p.lways been by sentiment." i The most remarkable fact of all is i jthe reason for the passage of the law, , .which is that Pelorous Jack acts as a ! most efTective pilot, escorting all kinds . of vessels in and out of the French j Pass, Cook Strait, always keeping to j deep water. For years he was believed to be a ! belusra. or white whale, but recent sci- ! ,entific investigation has shown that he is really a dolphin. As he is never absent fren. his duties, the proclamaItion bt.# been received with keen satisfaction throughout Australasia by sail<ns who have tf> use the French Pass.? London Express. Beginning1 ?

The very first requisite for success ,1s a well prepared soil, and that means on? deeply worked, finely pulverized and well enriched. Do not'expect success if the soil is worked but two or thrpe inches in depth and the roots compelled to force their way through icrd-pan below that. The plant must bo able to send its roots down into the soil easily and quickly if luxuriant ! foilage and perfect blossoms are to be ! ecured. Sometimes, after all possible care j has been taken in preparing the soil J and sowing the seed, a heavy rain will j cause a crust to form over the surface, ; through which the tiny plants cannot i t>renk. To avoid this it is wise to scat- i ter a light mulch over the seed bed? j fine grass clippings, leaves, or anything i which will offer no resistance to the j plants. A heavy rain may wash trans- j planted seedlings loose from the soil, i if not entirely out of it, and this, too, j must be watched for and the damage j at once repaired.?National Magazine. | Japs Bead Xo Fiction.

GREAT CHANCE , From Change in Food. The brain depends much more on the stomach than we are apt to suppose unftil we take thought in the matter. jFeod the stomach on proper food easy to digest and containing the proper amount of phosphates and the healthy fbrsin will respond to all demands. A Double housewife in Buffalo writes: "The doctor diagnosed my trouble as | a 'nervous affection of the stomach.' I j was actually so nervous that I could j not sit still for five minutes to read the I newspaper, and to attend to my house- | hold duties was simply impossible. I j doctored all the- time with remedies, j but medicine did no good. "My physician put me on all sorts of diet, and I tried many kinds of cereal foofls, but none of them agreed with me. I was almost discouraged, and when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with many misgivings?I had no faith that it would succeed where everything else 'bad failed. "But It did succeed, and you don't "know how glad I am that I tried it I feel like a new person. I have gained in 'weight and I don't have that terrible iburning sensation _n my stomach any [more. I reel so strong again mat i am [surprised at myself. The street noises that used to irritate me so, I never notice'now, and my mind is so clear that my household duties are a real pleasure." Name given by Postuiu Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Now why was this great change made in this woman? The stomach and the brain had not been supplied with the right kind of food to rebuild and strergthen the nerve centres in these organs. It is absolute folly to try to do this with medicine. '.Tiere is but one sure way, and that is to quit the old food that has fjiiiorl nnrl take on Grape-Nuts food. which is more than half digested in the I process of manufacture and is rich in thr> phosphate of potash contained in (the natural grain, which unites with alhumoH and "water?the only three jeuhstnnces that will make up the soft gray filling in the thousands of delicate dierve centres in the brain and body.' <3rnpc-Nuts food is a ure road back to health in all such cases. - I OYAIA BEATS BACK FOE Russian Scouting Party Leaves 300 Dead on Field.

Paris.?The following has been communicated to the press by M. Thomson, Minister of Marine: After its departure from Port d'Ayot, the Russian squadron went to Hainan Island, where it anchored to take coal. On either the night of May 19 or May -0 pi^rt of the fleet, composed of eleven vessels, returned to the coast of Annam, cruised about for two hours and then anchored off Port d'Ayot outside oi rermoruu waters. News of this was telegraphed to Saigon, reaching there about 8 o'clock a. ui. Admiral de Jonquieres, the French commander, at once decided to go to Tort d'Ayot in order to make sure that the ruies of neutrality are not violated. He embarked on a .cruiser, bearing strict and precise instructions. It is believed that the return of the less swift and tless strongiy armed of the Russian vessels is a ruse conceived by Admiral Rojestvensky with the intention of deceiving Admiral Togo into believing that his entire fleet has returned, while as a matter of fact he is making for Vladivostok with all speed with his best ships. The return <of the vessels caused no excitement at Saigon, as they are outside of the jurisdiction of France. A later telegram received at the Ministry of Marine says tha Russian vessels that returned are the auxiliary cruisers and the volunteer fleet. They were seeking colliers which were awaiting them in that neighborhood. auu nucuuiru uiiiu,i unco uuuj tut. shore. TOGO MAY NOT FIGHT. Theory That Ha Wilt Let Kusnlan* Get to Vladivontok. Hongkong.?The British steamer Changsha. which has arrived here, reports that she passed four Kussiau transports, one of them equipped witb wireless telegraph apparatus. They were coming from' Bashee Channel, which is between the Bashee Islands, north of Luzon, and the island of Formosa. It is the general opinion here thai the Japanese will allow the Baltic fieet to reach Vladivostok without molestation, after which they hope to repeat the program they carried out at Port Arthur, which resulted in the practical destruction of the fleet there. To Coiil Near Lazon. London.?The Paris correspondent of the Times says he learns from a well informed Russian source that the rendezvous of Rojestvensky's coaling fleet is at one of the islands in Balintang Channel. . The island will be merely a point of rendezvous where the colliers will receive further instructions from Admiral Rojestvensky as to the particular harbor or bay where the, fleet will coal. This probably will be somewhere on the coast of the Island of Luzon. The Americans have only a few ships at Manila, and nothing better xthan a first-class cruiser. They are wholly inadequate for anything more than a demonstration in the event of coming up with the Russian fleet. Paul Jones' Body's Credentials.

Two hours would be sufficient to see the soldiers on the e streets. The lumbermen^ association, determined to force the issue upon its drivc* ers immediately, began early in the' I day to order the lumber teamsters to e deliver supp'.ies to Montgomery, Ward & Co., Sprague, Warner & Co., The r Fair, and Marshall Field & Co. As 0 fast as the orders were issued the drivII ers dropped their reins and were discharged. As quick as the discharges were ordered the strikes in the various concerns went into effect. The first lumber concern to be affect* ed was Francis Beidler & Co. This company has enormous yards and em-; r pioy3 100 drivers. It has on hand GO,v 000,000 feet of lumber. Many of the v yards of Chicago get their supplies * from this establishment. . Following the strike in the Beidler f yard came the following in quick sucj cession: Acorn Lumber Company, y John E. Burns, Chandler Lumber Com, pany, Deacon & Co., Gillespie Lumber j Company. Hettler Lumber Company, 1 Marsli & Bingham, North Side Lumber j Company, Pilsen Lumber Company, I South Side Lumber Company and John j Spry Lumber Company. r I Already the workers in the building , I trades feel the effect of the strike. At ? many buildings where lumber was f needed the carpenters were obliged to stop work. * Negotiations had been resumed between the unions and the employers, and a long conference ended at midnight in the apartments of Levy Mayer in the Anuex. At the meeting in the Annex were President C. P. Shea, of the Teamsters' Union; A. J. Reed. W. J. Gibbons, 1 .Tames Barry. Jerry McCarthy, Peter . W.

President Shea added this . remark: j "I am always on the lookout for > peace while negotiations are on." > Mr. Barry, of the railway exprcss? men's union, said: "I think we will get together." > The teamsters' committee later rei ported progress to the joint council on/i it n fUnnrnprt to mppt n train in special session. That the city government was prepared for the worst was evident from the fact that Mayor Dunne received assurances from the Governor at Springfield that troops could be ready for service at two hours' notice. The per sistent endeavor of the employers to deliver to buildit.gs now under con struction would, it was feared, cause ' a spread of the strike among the con struction unions. It was feared, too, that the trouble ' would be increased by the determina tion of the lumbermen to stand pat and lock out all those who refused to de) liver goods to the firms tabooed by the strikers. > The more hopeful were of opinion . that the conferrees would be able to t come to some working conclusion and > : formulate a scheme of compromise. | Nevertheless, in order to be prepared ?

Pa.?In bis effort to defeat the consummation of the plan to lease the city'gas works to the United Gas Improvement CompaD.v for severity-five years for $25,000,000. Mayor Weaver dismissed from office the two principal members of his Cabinet, David J. Smyth. Director of the Department of Public Safety, and Peter E. Coatello. Director of the Department of Public Works. In their respective places ne appointed ad interim. Colonel Sheldon Potter and A. Lincoln Acker. In bis fight against the gas lease and the Republican organization the Major I has called in as counsel Elihu Root, of j New York City, and ex-Judge James Gay Gordon, of this city. Judge Gordon is a Democrat. The Mayor's stated purpose in going outside the city for his principal counsel is that he wants a man wbo is not identified with any faction in the struggle now on. Simultaneously with tbe dismissal of the two directors, Frederick J. Sboyer. Director of the Department of Supplies. by direction of tbe Mayor, suspended pending an investigation Arthur H. Morrow, the Assistant Director of tbe department. The Mayor's blow was struck at the most vital spot of tbe Republican machine?its patronage. Practically all of the 20,000 place men in the city are rtirwtlv at Hip mprrv nf thp DirAftrir nf Public Safety and the Director of Public Works. The men he has appointed to these positions are members of the Reform Committee of Seventy. Colonel Potter is also a member of the Governor's staff, a stanch Republican, but regarded as absolutely clean in politics. Mayor Weaver has made it known that any member of the City Councils who desires any share in the city patronage must take sides with him against the gas lease. He will summon early all the members of Councils before him to receive their pledges. The proteges of the Councilmen who agree to vote as the Mayor desires will be'allowed to remain in office. The headman's axe hangs over the rest. The removal of Directors Smyth and Costello did not come until after the Mayor had asked them to resign immediately. In reply each sent a letter offering his resignation, to take effect when his successor "shall be qualified." The Mayor answered them by demanding their immediate resignation. The answers the directors returned were to the effect that they had tendered their resignations "in the usual form and in accordance with the provisions of the city charter." and that they would stand by them as tendered. i?ai. YVtrutei uiCLt'upuu uuucu iuc tv/irespondence by sending to each a letter in which he safd: "I feel that the best interests of the city require that our official relations shall terminate at once. You therefore place me under the painful necessity of immediately removing you from the position, as I feci that I must have some one in that office responsible only to the Mayor and to the city at once." The fight over the form of the resignation was an important one, in that the new directors can only be qualified by the confirmation of the Councils, which is controlled by the organization. It is not likely that the Councils will confirm the appointments. The Department of Public Safety has charge of the Police and Fire Bureaus. Electrical Bureau, prisons, Building Inspectors. Boiler Inspectors, city property and Inspectors of Fire Escapes. The bureaus of gas, highways. lighting, surveys, street cleaning, water and city ice boats are under the supervision of the Department of Public Works. Each director receives $10,000 a year. The situation assumed a new phase when Director of Public Safety Smyth and Director of Publi? Works Costelio obtained a temporary injunction from Judge Ralston, in Common Pleas Court, restraining the Mayor from removing them from office, and also an Infnnotlnn nnromcf ftnlnnpl SllpIdftTl Pot ter and A. Lincoln Acker, their successors. from performing the duties of their respective offices. The deposed directors claim that their successors cannot qualify until they have been confirmed by City Councils and their bond has been accepted. New York City.?Mayor John Weaver of Philadelphia came to New York in the afternoon to consult with Elihu Root upon the situation growing out of the fi?ht against the gas monopoly. He was accompanied by ex-Judge James Gay Gordon, of Philadelphia, who has been engaged as Mr. Root's associate, and George S. Graham, a former District Attorney. The party reached Jersey City at 4.10 o'clock, and crossed o3 the Cortlandt street ferry. Upon reaching Manhattan Mr. Graham left the party.
