Foster-Milburn Co. , Buffalo , X. Y. The Place or the City. All tliis present talk about "race suicide" suggests at least one iiucr- estiug idea. The large cities are no p'aces for the rearing of large fam ilies. Cities are simply intensih'c'd cen ters of social , industrial and commer cial activity , necessarily crowded , necessarily huddled , and suitable to live in only because what some men must do and what some men must have it there to be done and to be got. The country and the town are feeders for the city , for city stock decays after a time in the modern rush. The city is the place to concentrate racial and individual energy on the public needs ; it is net the place for race replenish ment. Xaticns are liable to die at the top ; they get bald before-they lost the strength of tlieir logs ; and the replen ishment of the lixain must come from the heart and the lungs , not from it self. Let the countryside and the towns continue to rear sturdy citizens anl ; continue to send some of thc-m with an increasingly improved equip ment to take up t 10 struggle in the cities.

Thrilling Storiea of Bravery and Hero- ism Come from RiibsoJapanese But- tleficldtt Desperate and of Port Artliur. During the week tho world received the two most thrilling accounts of fb operations of the present war which have yet been published. The first was the story of the battle of Liao- yang , told by Frederick Palmer in Col lier's Weekly. The other was the ac count by the Associated Press corre- spondent of the operations about Port Arthur during the last three months. Both of these stories will hereafter rank among the classics of war corre spondence. The Port Arthur story leaves one in voluntarily with the feeling that war , though a horrible and brutal thing , is yet redeemed from part of its ugliness by the lustrous heroism , self-sacrilice , and devotion of its victims. Was there ever a more wonderful story told of forgetfulness of self and love of coun- try than this account of the Japanese soldiers who fell mortally wounded on the slopes of Port Arthur's forts , smil ing because they felt they had done their part well ? Or was there ever a practice of cooler daring than that of the Japanese pioneers who , sent for- ward to cut the entanglements which prevented the infantry charges , turn- bled over as dead before the wires , where they waited until night fall , then stealthily crawled on their backs to the barbed wire and nipped it with their pincers ? The enthusiasm among the privates and under ollicers was brought out in the great charge without orders. Twc attacks had been repulsed on the morn- ing of Aug. 21. Gen. Nogi was in a quandary. lie called his ollicers to gether. The troops were left to their own devices , and spontaneously by tens and twenties rushed up the blood stained hill. Twice they were rolled back , but the third time made their efforts good. The Japanese authorities have ac knowledged that in the early part ol June their first-class battleship , the Yashima , 12,300 tons , struck a mine and sunk. The fact was reported al the time unofficially , but was officially uenied by the Japanese government The denial was justifiable , for strategi cal deceit is legitimate hi war. In the battle of Aug. 10 , therefore , Togo had but four battleships , against the Rus sians' six , and was outnumbered. How ever , he whipped the Muscovites badly , scattering some of them and driving five of their battleships back to Porl Arthur , where they have since been rather severely damaged by the fire ol Xogi's guns. If the fleet attempts an other sortie it will be far easier worli for Togo than it was on Aug. 10. In their statement about the Yashi' ma it would not be surprising if the Japs had been guilty of another gen tle little deception. Though the Ya shima was sunk in June , by this time it may have been raised and repaired When Rojestvensky reaches the fai east he should not be at all surprised if he meets five first-class battleships under Togo. But whether Togo has four battleships or five , he probably will not have much trouble with Ro jestvensky and his cavalrymen. The Seise of Port Arthur. General Nogi announced to his army Oct. 23 that there would be a bom bardment of the whole eastern ridge of the Port Arthur defenses prelimi nary to an attempt at its capture. This bombardment began the next day , and under cover of the fire the Japanese regiments drove the Russians out of their trenches on Suugshuind Rihluug Mountains , and on the southern part of Pohsiaii Mouutain. The artillery prac tice continued for three days longer , and on the night of the twenty-ninth the Japanese reserves were moved up through the network of trenches in front of the Keekwan forts. Right here our direct information ends. It is probably true that even though the Japanese capture one of the forts on this ridge they cannot hold it un less they capture all or nearly all of them. If they accomplish this greater feat they will not , indeed , have ended the siege , but they will have finished the heaviest part of the task. Certain forts along the seacoast southeast of Port Arthur will remain in Russian hands , although perhaps not tenable against laud attack ; also certain large forts west of Port Arthur , the forts of the Tiger Tail Peninsula , and the hill forts at the end of the Liaotieshau Peninsula. In these General Stoessel can continue his desperate resistance for a timo longer. Of the situation on the Shakhe River we hear but little. The expectation early in the week that a great battle was impending proved false. The Japanese have li.'ul several small suc cesses , but while they are in all prob ability in a much ben.er position to attack than the Russians , they show < no desire to take the aggressive.

Thrillinc Kxnerience of n Montana i Girl with Wild Doss. Chased for more than a mile by a pack of wild dogs , apparently a cross between the common dog and the wolf , Miss Gertie Sullivan , daughter of ( a sheepman living on Birch creek , nineteen miles from Havre , Mont. , es caped I only by spending the night in an old corral arid picking off the ani mals now and then with rifle bullets. I Miss Sullivan was riding her pcny across ; the prairie when she saw some distance < away , perhaps twenty ani mals , which at first glance she took to be coyotes , says the St. Paul Piercer Press. As they came nearer , evidently in pursuit of her , the girl saw they were not : coyo es , but wild dogs , of which there < are several small panics in north ern ( Montana and just over the Cana dian ' line. With the brutes hot on her trail , it became ; a lide for life with Miss Sulli van. She had with her a small rifle , hut the animals seeuied so savage she dared ' not stop and give them battle. As she began to despair of saving her life she sighted the old sheep cor ral 3 , and toward this she ran her horse , reaching J it only when the pack was a short ' distance away , snapping ami ycl.'ing Avith rage. To enter with the pony and quickly close tho gate behind her was the work of a moment As the gate swung , into place the leaders of the pack , threw themselves against it. Snapping and snarling with anger , the dogs tore at the poles forming j the stockade , but were unable to gain an entrance into the place of refuge. j' 'After ' recovering her composure and nndlng that she was safe , the girl JK- gan shooting at the animals , which re treated 1 when she fired and returned to the attack when the rifle was silent. Miss Sullivan was found by her father j and her brother , "who had been seeking her. The dog pack disappeared when the men approached. The girl had ] killed several of the animals. Ills Caused by Sunlight. While the rays of the sun possess a stimulating and beneficial effect iu disease and can be used with advan tage as a therapeutic agent : , yet , ac cording to recent investigations , they also may act injuriously and cause dis ease. That there is a difference hi the therapeutic value between the ac tinic rays , or those located at the violet end of the spectrum , and the red rays was appreciated by Pinsen , and the former were used in tho treatment of such skin diseases as lupus vulgaris , or tuberculosis of the skin , while the latter were found effective in cases of smallpox. One of the most recent researches in this department is by Prof. Fermi and is given in a late number of the Archiv fur Hygiene. In these experi ments a large number of human sub jects were exposed to direct sunlight for varying periods , and iu a large per centage of cases it was found that there resulted the following set of symptoms : Cephalagia ( headache ) , dry- ness of the nasal mucosa. snuflling , coryza ( cold in the head ) , pharyngitis , weariness , slight conjunctivitis , dry- ness of the lips , fever , pseudo influenza , constipation , insomnia , epistaxis ( nose bieed ) and various pains. From this list of symptoms experienced by his ; p.tients and from the observed coinci dence of certain diseases and meteor ological conditions Prof. Fermi con cludes that exposure to the sun's rays is a predisposing factor in coryza , in fluenza , hay fever and epidemic menin gitis.

In French the daisy is called la Marguerite. It was the device of Mar guerite of Anjou , Mild also of Marguer 1 ite of Valois , a much more appropriate emblem of the latter princess , who withdrew from the glitter of courts to become a recluse , than of the ambi tious Lancastrian queen of England. ! The daisy is the national flower of Italy , chosen in honor of Queen Mar guerite. In the language of flowers i it signifies innocence , peace , hope. In the age of chivalry it was the emblem of fidelity and worn by knights at tour naments in honor of their lady loves. < , < A.

Father said I studied too hard , but the , doctor thought different and prescribed tonics , which I took by tha quart without relief. Reading one day in the paper of Mrs. Pinkhanrs great cures , and finding the symptoms described an swered mine , I decided I would give I ydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound a trial , i did not say a word to the doctor ; I bought it myself , and took it according to directions regularly for two months , and I found that I gradually improved , and that all pains left me. and I was my old self once more.
