Thfi Hainan Nom,
A nose which in any way suggests
our ape-like ancestors, whether snub,
flattened or abnormally small, is
dee mod ugly. Generally speaking, the
long nose belongs to the people of
Europe, whereas the Negroes and Mongolians
have short noses. With the
Esquimaux the nose is said to be in
many cases so flat that a ruler might
be placed upon both cheeks without
touching it. In man the muscles of '
the nose have little flexibility except
about the nostrils, which visibly dilate
and contract under the influence of
passion. Montegazza has remarked
that among civilized people the nose is
nearly always deflected toward the
right, which he attributes to the custom
of wiping the nose with the right
hand. Leonardo de Vinci discovered
that there were over ten different varieties
of nose, seen in profile, and eleven I

never associated with an ugly face.?

Quebec's Koortnou* Birth Rate.
Dr. Osier says you can't diminish the
birth rate of Quebec. In the year 1S90
the late Hon. H. Mercier, then Prime
Minister of the province, had a law
passed by the Provincial Legislature
granting 100 acres of the public lands
to each father and mother of twelve
living children, and last year a return
was made to the House of those who
had taken advantage of this act. This i
return shows that there were more
4han 3400 families of twelve living
children in the province, wftile somo
were boasted of seventeen, eighteen,
nineteen, and one even ran up to twenty-three.
According to the last report of the
provincial compiler of vital statistics,
that Is to say, for 1903. 60,419 births
were registered, which gives a birth
rate of 30.75 per 1000 of the population.

"I drank coffee freely for eight years '
before I begau to perceive any evil ef- <

was becoming very nervous, and that j
my stomach was gradually losing the
power to properly assimilate my food,

to leave the house?for no reason what- <

attributed the trouble to anything in ]

quit the use of the old kind of

from his scouts that the Russians were

caused some surprise.

Althougfc fid had served in the Russian
Navy for thirty-five years, this
last fight -was his first great action.
In the Russo-Turkish War he displayed
great gallantry in a minor action and
became a popular hero. He was in
command of a small gunboat the
Vesta, which went up against a Turkish
ironclad and- wiped her off the
water in a broadside duel. After the
war he specialized on gunnery. He became
a commander in 1885 and was
attached to the Russian Embassy in
London, where he made a special study
of the British Navy. He had a great
deal to say in the construction of the
new Russian Navy. He had commanded
two vessels which have since
gone down in this war?the battleship
Peresviet, sunk at Port Arthur, and
the cruiser Vladimir Monomach, which
went down in this fleet action.
In the Chlno-Japanese War in 1894
Rojestvensky was AlexiefFs second In
command of the Russian fleet which
kept an eye on proceedings and helped
stake out Port Arthur.
Rojestvensky was attached to the
Czar's personal staff when the war
broke out.
Beconl Making Voyage.
The fleet under the command of ViceAdmiral
Rojestvensky, known'as the
Rnssinn Sooonrl Pacific Sauadron,
sailed from the Baltic last October after
various delays which had caused
some European critics to assert that
the vessels would never start and that
the Russian Admiralty never Intended
that they should start.
I The voyage had hardly been begun
when an incident occurred which astonished
the entire world and nearly
led to war between Russia and Great
Britain. In the North Sea, at the point
known as the Dogger Bank, the Russian
vessels encountered the Gamecock
fishing fleet from Hull, England. The
Russian Admiral mistook some of the
trawlers for torpedo boats and ordered
his vessels to fire. One fishing boat
was sunk and two men were killed,
others being badly wounded.
After leaving the Straits of Gibraltar
the fleet divided, one division, under
Admiral Rojestvensky, proceeding by
way of the Capo of Good Hope, and
-Al* ? A rl?v?lt?o 1 V/inlL'orcnin
me Utliur, uuua nuuiuai I utiBK.uuu.,
going via the Suez Canal. Rojestvensky
bad with him most of the battleships,
and Voelkersam the majority of
the cruisers.
France asserts that the Russian ships
did not remain in the colonial territorial
waters, but Rojestvensky's vessels
were undoubtedly close to the
island of Nossl Be, off the north coast
of Madagascar. The long time spent
there 'ed to renewed assertions that
the Admiralty at St. Petersburg would
never order the fleet to the Far East.
In the middle of March, nowever, reports
were printed that the Russians

and then repeated, and at length ?it
was definitely established that the Bal
tic neet naa sanea.
Nothing more was heard of it till
April 8, when the news came that the
fleet had pased Singapore and was in
the China Sea. Again the reports were
contradictory, some being to the effect
that Rojestvensky's entire squadron had
passed through the Malacca* Straits,
while others said that the principal
battleships were missing. It seems
the battleships passed further out
at sea than the rest of the squadron,
and were not seen from the shore.
In the meantime the reinforcing Russian
division under Admiral Nebogatoff
had sailed from the Baltic. This consisted
of the battleship Imperator Nikolai
I., the armored cruiser Vladimir
Monomakh. the coast defense ships Admiral
Apraxlne, Admiral Oushkoff and
Admiral Seniavin, and a number of
other comparatively unimportant vesj
sels.
After entering the China Sea Rojestvensky
spent a great deal of tlm? at
various points on the coaafc of French
Indo-China, and the Japanese, who had
been Irritated by the breaches of neutrality
of which the French had previously
been accused, became greatly
excited over what was declared to be
France's open defiance of her neutral
obligations in her Indo-Chinese colony.
Twice, it is known, the relations between
France and Japan were greatly
strained, but at length Rojestvensky
quit Indo-China for good and sailed
north.

London. Eng.?The Atlantic, the
American three-masted schooner yacht
owned by Wilson Marshall, under command
of the redoubtable Captain Barr,
has lowered all records of trans-Atlantic
sailing yachts and has won the race
for the Kaiser's cup.
She finished between the lighthouse
on the Lizard and the German cruiser
Pfell. anchored due south, at 9.1G p. m.
Ker elapsed time was twelve days,
four hours, one minute and her average
speed an hour 10.G knots for the 3000
miles sailed.
Her last day's weather was in striking
contrast to her first.' It was a lit
day to welcome the conqueror. After
a wet night and misty early morning
the Channel rolled with a long heavy
swell under a brilliant sun and blue,
^loud-flecked sky.
Penzance.?The Atlantic eclipsed all
previous records established by yachts
fof the passage from Sandy Hook to
England, in addition to making the
record day's run. The reports received
from liners the last few days had not
led any one to expect that she would
linish so soon. The steamer Lady of
the Isles, fitted with a Marconi equipment
and in charge of Captain Beckerlog.
left Penzance at two o'clock p. m..
and slowly steamed down the Channel,
keeping in touch with the various signal
stations on the way. She made
the Scilly Islands. There being a
heavy swell she put into port to-complete
and perfect the wireless apparatus.
Following a wet night the morning
broke with a thick haze, obscuring
everything at a distance less than a
mile. At eight o'clock a light southwest
breeze gradually dispersed the
fog, and later a vessel loomed up in
the offing which proved to be the Atlantic.
She Was abreast Bishop's
Hock at 9.37 a. m., and soon after had
the advantage of the flood tide running
eastward.
In the lightest airs she stood up the
Channel, with the wind over her starboard
quarter. The sun was bright
and powerful, eating the heart out of
the wind, and at four o'clock the Atlantic
was but little east of the Longships
lighthouse. Under a cloud of
canvas and with the aid of the flood
tide she made slow progress, the wind
being hardly sufficient to keep all her
sails drawing. In the brilliant sunshine
she made an Imposing picture.
Abreast of the Lizard the German
cruiser Pfefl was waiting with the
sailing committee on board. Several
rachts were cruising in the vicinity to
give the winner a welcome. Off
Mount's Buy the Atlantic headed more
inshore, thus bringing the wind further
nrr, ana lier square sail was noisxea.
This was at five o'clock, and the Lady
of the Isles had the pleasure of being
the first to hall and congratulate Mr.
Marshall on the magnificent prrssage
which his yacht had made. ' , ,
All on board were anxious to get tidings
of any of the other yachts. The
latest bulletins were given. Expscting
to be met by correspondents at sea,
Mr. Marshall was anxious to assist
them. He hnd. with careful foresight,
prepared a duplicate copy of the log
book for the whole run. This was
placed in a sealed canister, together
with several private dispatches, and
handed over the side of the vessel.
After the Lady of the Isles obtained
it she parted company with the Atlantic.
the latter proceeding on the last
twenty miles of her course with a
frayed racing flag at her mainmast
head and the American ensign at the
peak. She also carried her official
number. The wind was paltry, and
from six o'clock the yacht had a foul
tide. Her progress was accordingly
slow. With a light air she crossed the
winning line at 9.16 p. m.
The sole German representative in
the contest crossed the finishing line
.it 7.22 next day, twenty-two hours
and six minutes behind the Atlantic,
but still beating the Endymlon's record
by eighteen hours and twenty-nine
minutes, which will, doubtless, be acclaimed
as a fine performance. It is,
but it was evident that thj* discovery
that they would have to be content
with second honors came as a disappointment
to the Germans.
The British yacht. Valhalla, owned
by the Earl of Crawford, came in third,
6ome hours later.

Baron Shibusawa said the commerce

were growing despite the war. The

INSANITY ON INCREASE '
Nearly 1000 New Cases Daring- Year
in New York State.
IIospitalH Dartly CroTrde I?Stato Chsirltioi
Association Oppo*c?l to Cuinmisaton
in Lunncj.
Albany. X. T.?The number of insane
persons in New i'ork State hospitals
and licensed private asylums increased
nearly .1000 during tbe past year, according
to a report which has just
been submitted to the State Commission
of Lunacy by the Stats Charities
Aid Association. While this increase
is smaller than that of the previous
year, still it is in excess of other.years,
the total average yearly increase being
738.
The total number of insane persons
in State hospitals and/ licensed, private
asylums on October 1. 1004. was 2l>,Sfll,
an increase of 027 over the previous
year. Of this total number, 25,010 patients
were in the fourteen State hos
pitals, not including Matteawau ana |
Dnnnemora, being S32 more than 011
October 1, 1903.
"The system oC complete control,
both financial and administrative, of ,
the State hospitals by the State Com- mission
in Lunacy wtiich has now j
been in operation for two years and a
half." says the report, "is not, in our '
opinion, the wisest method of govern- '
ing these institutions. Of coarse, in so j
short a time the effects of the change
of system could not have made themselves
felt to any great extent, and the (
extreme sensitiveness of public sentiment
to any changes affecting the wel- I
fare of the insane, resulting from the |
agitation regarding the amendment of
the insanity law. has doubtless exercised
a great restraining influence, {
which caunot be expected to continue <
indefinitely. <
"But while there lias beeu no great 1
change in the State hospitals since the '
amended law of 1902 went into effect,
this law opens the way for the en- '
trance of the abuses feared by the opnents
of the change. To leave the welfare
of so numerous and singularly
helpless a class of dependents as the "
Insane entirely In the hands of a commission
of. three, responsible only to
the Governor,, certainly seems danger- i
ous." I
Recommendation is again made, as j
in the report for 1003, for the cstab- j
lishment of a system of boarding out ,
quiet insane patients in private faml- ,
llesv after the plan adopted in several
European countries.
Recommendation that improvement 1
be made in the methods of deporting <
insane aliens, and that in the cases of i
such persons there be more co-opera- ,
tion between the State hospitals and
+im TTnitpH Stntps Immigration author
ities is an important feature of the report.
It is asserted that the State ,
Charities Aid Association has found ,
that insane aliens deported by the
Government have not always reached 1
their homes as promptly as they 1
should, and sometimes not at all. i
In one of the five cases examined by *
the association it is shown that It was i
two months after she was deported
from New York City before-the friends
of an insane Finnish, girl found her in
a hospital In Iielsingfors, Finland. <
where the steamship company sent ,
her, though failing to send her bag- (
gage, cr to notify her relatives. In another
case, that of an Austrian girl, it '
, Is shown that she was deported without
proper clothing and without money,
her relatives being prevented by the
red tape of the State Hospital from 1
providing the necessities. Their offer
to send her over in care of a relative j
was refused.
The insan* population of Manhattan ;
(New xork City), when the census was
taken, was 7427, with a population of
2,139,632. On Long Island th?re were 1
4168 insane in a population of 1,555,152.
