We occasionally hear adverse reports
of the conduct of the Russlnn soldiers
In the field. As a matter of fact, such
reports generally emanate from un
truthful sources. The fact Is that,
were It not for tho protecting arm of
tho czar's soldiers In China, terrible
bloodshed would havo resulted at mnny
points. Some days before tho cap
ture of Telntsln a company of Russian
Boldlers entered tho city. Of their
heroic efforts in behalf of the foreign
ers Mrs. Charles Donby, Jr.. wife of the
6on of tho ex-minister to China, writes
from Tientsin: "Enormous fires in the
native city were started and the Boxers
began their attack on the settlement;
so we wcro all aroused at 1 o'clock,
und every one who lived in the extra
concession went either to friends on
the Victoria road or to the town hall.
Ah it happened, Mrs. von Hannekln
had asked us to come to her In ense
of alarm, so wo escaped to tho town
hall. There were perhaps 100 people
who remained In their homes. All tho
rest wero huddled together In Gordon
hall for ton days.
"Tho Chinese troops wero every

1.700 Russian troops arrived. They
saved our lives. Had it not been for
them nil of us would have been slaught

5.000 Chinese well-drilled troops for
twelve hours. At ono time they
thought they could not hold them nt
bay, but in tho evening tho Russians
still maintained their position. How
Ruslans fought and suffered! I cannot
describe their courage. Kor threo days
they lay In tho open, exposed to a ter
rlblo fire, without being nblo to fight
back. Tho Chinese wero behind
trenches, so the Russians could not
afford to wasto ammunition.
"All these days wo wore wnltlng and
waiting for re-enforcements. We could
not believo tho admirals would bom

war and then leave us with only n few

tho case. No one known where the

her diary of June 10 she says:
"They nre bombarding us heavier to

peeping through the shutter hints.
Pour bullotn pierced tho shutters, but
did not btrlko mo. 1 rushed to the

iho bullets must hnvo come from a
Chinaman concealed In a tiec Hanking

went to the tree, nnd sure enough

Inquiry was whether he bad killed the

Watts rides to Tnku to bring us ro

it Is u most perilous undertaking, but
brave Jim Watts gladly, gallantly risks
his life. I myself heard him offer It.
'Somo ono must go to Tnku,' said the
commanding o Ulcer. 'It may mean the
lives of women nnd children It may
menu denth to tho rider. Who will
go?' 'I know the roads, evorj Inch of
of them; let mo go,' said a voice. Then
Jim Watts stoppeil forward. 'I shall
go; It Is right. I am the older brother.'
We saw him mount his horse, we
heard the thuds of the hoofs bent more
faintly and die. Hope took no new
lease of life from this. Hefore re-enforcements
could reach us It would be
too late, granting that brave Jim Watts

Uhc JVamc "America,"
Rlcardo Palma of Lima, the director
of the National Library of Peru, has
published a book reviving and review
ing the old controversy ns to the
origin of the name ''America." Ho
contends that this hemisphere was not
named after Alberlco Vespucci, but
that the Klorontlno merchant's nam
was changed by a French painter to
"Amerlcus" In honor of his travels In
the now world; then a German profes
sor, either Ignornntly or wilfully, car
ried on tho compliment, nnd from a
nlcknamo gnro two continents their
present title. Jules Marcr-n, In the
I bulletin of tho Paris Geographical so
ciety for January, 1883, conjectured
this origin of "America." Mr. Palma's

other clothes than the liead-bowl,
which serves both ns a hat and to hold

Nothing Is wasted In China. Even
grass and wheat roots are pulled up,
washed, dried and used for fuel.
Scraps of paper ami cloth are pasted
together to make the Insoles of shoes,

"On July I, with two shipmates,
Oliver Siulthwlck mid llcniy Winn,
1 deserted the British schooner Llttl
Pet. We slid down the Hue by which
the yawl was made fast astern and cut
adrift. Smllhwlck had robbed the
galley of stores enough to last for
three days. We expected to lench the
Krcneh lobster factories on Ihe west
coast of Newfoundland, where Winn
said there was plenty of work at goo.l

and the last I saw of Winn and Smith

to get on the yawl. They were out of
sight lu a minute, nnd I fancy thoy
were drowned.

my legs were swollen and cramped,
and I had no feelulg in my arms. I
saw an Island and swam for it. The

and tile sun was frightfully hot. M.
skill was all puffed out lu bllsteis. My
legs were so swollen that I had to cut
my troupers off with a sharp plice of
stone. 1 could not get my knife out
of my pocket. I lay there lu the hot
situ nil the afternoon, too weak to
move. When It got dark I went to
sleep again for a while, mid when I
awoke It was raining. My tongue was
swollen so that 1 could not keep It In
my mouth. I rolled over and dr.ink

went to sleep again.
"On July 3, nt da break, I dragged
myself to the top of some rock to ret
my bearings. 1 could see the main
land, about ten miles off to the north.
My Idea was that 1 was off Cape R.ieo,
and I was right, for, nftor dark, 1 saw

Count Mournvlelfs most fatuous

would not "risk n war," and, therefore,
he rend the brave talk about the "open

Salisbury's protests thereby as signi

Mouruvlcff's discovery of tho alleged
