Thc first cause of the present trouble started with the China-Japa nese war. It will bo remembered that little Japan startled the whole world with tho quickness and strength of her blows against the moribund Chinese empire, says the Eagle. She swept all before her and fully expeoted to reap her re> ward by annexing certain of the ohoioe territory of China. Her "re ward" consisted in holding a few seoond rate war vessels and the island of Formosa, for Russia stepped in and nulified the victory by compelling Japan to give up all her hard earned laurels. Since that, war Russia perpetrated ono of tho most colossal grabs in history. In 1895 Russia compelled Japan to give up Port Arthur, which controls the gateway to Peking, Manchuria and Mongolia. In 1897 Russia seized Port Arthur for her own. Three years later the Great Bear got a foothold in Manchuria, which covers 863,000 square miles, and has a population of 8,500,000. The Boxer uprising, which Japan declares was fomented by Russia for the purpose of making this hold moro certain, followed in tho next year. Of course, Russia poured into tho district "protective" troops to the number of nearly 100,000. This, the Great Bear said, was to protect her Siberian railway and her inter ests along its route. At the end of that very same year Russia obtained from China ex clusive trading rights in Manchuria, and in 1002 further rights wore ceded on the promise that Russia would evacuate the province within eighteen mouths. This Russia re luctantly agreed to do, but she is there yet. Last year Russia announced that she would not evacuate Manchuria unless more exclusive rights were ' given-practically amounting to sovereignty. Although Russia had J gone on record that she would keep her promise, especially to Secretary . Hay, she still refused and China was \ told that the Russian troops would continue to hold all the important 1 points in Manchuria until the de mands were acceded to. The United States, Great Britain and Japan ? combined to hohl China firm in her , refusal, and succeeded. Russia I poured more troops in, until her rail- 1 way was completely defended along its entire route. I Russia, balked at last, made a . promise to thc world that she would 1 evacuate Manchuria on October 8 i laBt if she got some special privileges - from China. These were not so i stringent as her former demands, but were too much for China to grant, i backed, as she was, by three great j powers. The incoming troops and I the fortifications going up caused China to prote?t against this aggres sion, but more troops and more for tilications was tho answer. , Tho situation was then acute, but 1 the climax came when Russia moved 1 over to tlie Yalu river, dividing Man- ? churia and Korea, and built fortili- . cations and established armed camps. | This was clearly a move to gain Ko rea and shut Japan from the conti nent. J apan always has considered Korea as under lier especial protec tion, and rightly so. Japanese in terests in Korea are far greater than those of any other country, and the Japs practically run the commercial interests there, although the biggest enterprises are under American con trol. Why should Japan want Korea? Japan is composed of many islands jutting out from thc Korean coast, tho nearest point between the two countries being some sixty odd miles and only 150 miles between Korea and the main island of Japan. Thc area of Japan (including Formosa) is 162,000 square miles, and its popu lation is 47,000,000. Here is a country the size of California, tho State having a population of only 1,300,000. The population of Japan is 3 JO per square mile, or, in otl er words, Japan is like a hugo and continuous village in our rural dis tricts, spreading over all its land. Evory inch of tho Japanese soil is utilized, and wero the people like Americans, requiring a diversity and immensity of food products, they could not live. As it is Japan is a big importer of food products. Its busy artisans export *115,000,000 worth of material each year, while its imports are about 12,000,000 in oxceps of the foregoing figures. The fecundity of the Japs is well known, and it is imperative that moro land bo obtained. Already moro than 1,000,000 of the m live in Korea, China and tho United States. Korea is largo enough and sparsely settled enough to provide for 25,000, 000 souls, living as they do in Japan. Japan never really made any se rious move to add Korea to the em pire. The two peoples lived to gether in peaco and concord and their habits and interests being simi lar, thore wa*i never any of that ealousy common to two different ace? abiding together. Korea is so icoeaaary to Japan, as a haven for ts overflow population, that it cannot permit Hussia to annex it, aside from tho menace politically. Russia nlways bas and always will pursue a dog-in-lhe-tuanger policy. Wherever the Great Bear goes there is no room for other nationalities ; the Jap, on the other hand, welcomes the white foreigners. The prospeot of Manchu ria becoming aunoxed has menaoed the future of the island empire, but the prospect of Korea being made Russian, in whole or in part, wa-* something that could not be thought of for a moment. Then Korea is an important stepping stone to China, so Russia thinks. What does Russia want of Korea V Tho master minds-and for ages the hiphest Russian ministers have been suoh-who planned that gigan tio undertaking, the Trans-Siberia^ railway, probably mapped out, step by step, the movements thnt have followed. They probably even in eluded just such a war as is in sight. Soveral pages might be covered with interesting narratives of this great project, for it ceitainly is one of the greatest things ever attempted in the world's history, inoluding, as it does, tim various ramifications into diplo macy, conquest and commercial ac tivity, both on land and sea. The great railway is a fact ; it ex tends from St. Petersburg across the plains of Russia over the mountains, through tho dense forests and over the rolling steppes of drear Siberia ; over gorges, around morasses, cross ing rivers and lakes, winding through Manchuria to cover the best land, and eiroling at its extrome eastern end in order to cover the summer port of Vladovostock and tho winter port of Port Arthur, and thus reaches the tributaries of tho groat I'acifio. Korea is like the hind leg of a rabbit, with Vladivostock at its top and Port Arthur at the gambrell joint, and tho most important part of Japan at the toe. Tho broad and deep Yalu river separates Manchuria from Korea. Tho Russians have found that tho Yalu is necessary to them. Vladivostock is now isolated from thc main terminus of tho great railway. The coast line of Korea, intervening between Vladivostock and Port Arthur, if Russian, would make the czar supreme on tho west ern sido of tho Pacific. It would absolutely overawe Japati in tho Ja pan and Yellow seas. These are the big stakes being played for. mmm> A Thousand Dollars Thrown Away. W. W.

In the order given the stamps bear portraits of Robert li. Livingston, Thomas Jeffersou, James Monroe, William .'McKinley and a map of the United States showing the territory acquired by ibo Louisiana Purobase. There have been ordered 90,000,000 of the I cent stamps, 225,000,000 of the 2-cent, 7,500,000 of the 8-oent, 9,500,000 of the 5-oeut, and 5,500,000 [>f the 10-oent.

The profit Domes from the fact thal philatelists buy ns many of tho new issue ns they can carry and hold them for the certain rise that is sure to como when tho issue is exhausted. These stamps are thereforo not used, and the Government having sold them at their faco valtio profits accordingly, the only cost being tho value of the paper, tho glue, tho printing and the ink, a mere nominal cost when com pared with tho sum for which they rtre sold. Many thousands of dol lars were made by the Government [luring tho run of the Pan-American stamp and there is no reason to sup pose that a similar condition will not occur when the St. ^ Louis expo sition stamps aro put on sale.

Tho groat objeot of all oduoatiou should be to train tbe brain and the nervous system so that they will eve after be our allies iustead of our enemies. The braiu is a most marvel ous pieoe of meobauiBiu. lu every mental act, the brain cells arrange themselves in a definite manner, and with every repetition of the aot Ihe r..rangement becomes more and more automatic, and easy, and repetition' more certain. There 'e an inclination in the nerv ous system to repeat the same 'mode of action at regularly recurring inter vals. Doctor Combe says that all nervous diseases have a^marked ten dency to observe regular periods. "If we repost any kind of mental effort at the same hour daily, we find ourselves entering i upon it, without premeditation, wbou the time ap proaches." Good Habit? Form a .Corps In Reserve. By oareful training, therefore, of the brain and nervous system, tuan multiplies himself so ns to do the work of many untrained men. Glad stone, at seventy-five, had multiplied himself into a man twenty times ut efficient as be was at twenty-five Habit is cumulative.

Ile is hastening on faster and faster, cither toward th good or tho bad, with all thecumuln ti vc momentum and force of th power of habit behind him. In 1880, one hundred and forty seven of thc eight hundred an ninety-seven inmates of tho Stat prison at Auburn wore there on Ber. ond indictments. What brings th prisoner back a second, third, c fourth time ? It ?B habit which drivt him on to commit tho deed whicl perhaps, his heart abhors, and h very soul loathes. It is tho mornci tum made up from a thousand devi) lions from tho truth and right, f< there is a great difference betwet going just right and a little wron It is tho result of that mystorioi power which an act lins of gettir itself performed again and again. Habit ls tho Keynoto ol Life r Tune. Remember that habit is an arrang meet, a principle of human natui which we must usc to increase tl efficiency and ease of our work life. Just as a sea-captain steers I vessel into the Gulf Stream, whic he knows, will molt thc icicles frc bis rigging, and push his vessel t ward a harbor, so should wo rega habit as a gulf stream, which, if \ get into it, will make our course git and send us toward our goal. Habit is like a seamstress "Betti tho stitch" on ber sewing macbii or a machinist 'Mixing the gauge, a the man docs thc right or tho wi o thing automatically. "I trust everything, under God, habit," says Lord Brougham, 4,u|i which, in all ages, thc lawgiver well nB the schoolmaster has mail placed his reliance-habit, wh makes everything easy, and casts difficulties upon thc deviation fr our wonted course. "Make sobriety a habit, and into perance will be hateful ; make p dence a habit, and reckless profligi will bc as contrary to tho course nature in a child, or in an adult, tho most atrocious critnos are to ii of us."

GRRfiAN KAU WORKS, Many yoars ago, Dr. Andrew Pea body preached a baccalaureate sermon, at Harvard College, on "The Will." Ho said that we often ezouse our selves for our wrong deeds and words on the ground that temptation oomes to us suddonly, and that we aot invol untarily, before we have time to rally our forces. He admitted this as a valid excuse for those particular aota and words; but said that tho true re sponsibility lies farther back-that temptations are continually coming to us when we do have time to think ; that, if we yield to these, we not | only do wrong at once, but that we weaken tho moral fiber so that we do wrong in other instances when we have no timo to think ; and that if wo resist temptation when we can resist, wo aro forming a habit of feel ing and action which will, by and by, holp ns to do right unhesitatingly. A man's life is spent in writing bis own biography. Boyond his control is tho phonograph of tho soul, whioh registers faithfully every thought, however feeble ; every act, however small; ovory 8enHation,bowevor slight; every impulso, every aspiration, every ambition, every offort, every stimulus, on tho cerebral tissue. Usually that which a man calls fate is a web of bis own weaving, from threads of bis own spinning. All Good ts tho Harvest of Right Sowing.

RYDALES TONIC A REAL CURE FOR It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact ex plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy tho germs that cuuse the disease.

A considera ble number of Baptists are connected with this mill and for over a year they have had a Sunday school, a regular prayer meeting and occas ional preaching services. It was felt that thc time had como to organize a church. Upon invitation Rev. W. W. Leathers, several brethren from surrounding churches and tho writer met with them for this purpose. Lotters of dismission from other churches were presented by 28 bre thren and sisters who, after adopting articles of faith and a church cove nant, were recognized by tho presby tery as a church of Jesus Christ. The church was named after tho village, Jordiana. Its first act was a contribution for missions. The in fant organization is composed of good material,-and there is a bright future before it.

CECELIA STOWE, Orator, Entro Nous Club. 176 Warren Avenue, CHICAGO, lu,., Oct. 22,1902. For nearly four years I suffered from ovarian troubles. Tho doc tor insisted on an operation as the only way to get well. I, however, strongly objected to an operation. My husband felt disheartened as well as I, for home with a sick woman is a disconsolate place at beet. A friendly druggist advised him to get a bottle of Wino of Cardui for nie to try, and he did so. I began to improve in a few dava and my recovery was very rapid. With in eighteen weeks I wa8 another being. Mrs. Stowe's letter shows ev?ry woman how n home is saddened by female weaknes and how completely Wino of Cardui cures that sick ness and brings health and happi ness again. Do not go on suffer ing. Go to your druggist today aim secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui. % Why Use Many Woi jj The i FERTII % On E J The Virg'ini ? Chemii I f They have the Best Facilities?
