THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL-

14:

IN RUSSIA.

—

Talking of the Russian Court ́(says. M.A.P.), the most beautiful girl in St Petersburg society is the only daughter of the late Vice-Adniiral Makaroff, who per. ished on board the Petropavlovsk. Miss Makaroff, who is only 20 years of age, ia tall and alight, with a wealth of soft, brown hair, dark eyes, and a rich complexion. She is an admirable English scholar, and has a preference for everything English.

The erroneous report that crept into circulation that her loyer as well as her father had perished on the Petropavlovsk rosulted in Misa Makaroff receiving innumerable proposals of marriage from all over the word, one being from a young American millionaire, who, in the exuberance of his compassion, laid both his heart and his fortune at the foot of the beautiful young Russian.

Miss Makaroff's fiance, Lieutenant Kødr- ofi, is still in Chins. He left for the Eas at the very ourbreak of hostilities as aide- de-camp to Admiral Makaroff, and was the only member of his staff who escaped being drowned on board the Petropavlovak.

It appears that a few minutes before the Russian fleet set out in pursuit of the Japanese on that memorable morning, just 12 months ago, the Commander-in-Chief Bant the young lieutenant ashore to tologaph a message to Mme. Makaroff at Petorhoff. Whon Lieutenant Kodroff ROAD. Nand 29, WONG NEI OHONG

CONSTIPATION'S RAVAGES.

BILE BEANS A GERTAIN REMEDY.

THE OPINION OF A GREAT PHYSICIAN.

THAT celebrated physician, the lato Sir

Andrew Clark, expressed the firm opinion that constipation was the cause of one half of the ailments from which women and girls suffer. It fills the blood with impurities, robs the system of energy, causes piles, headache, biliousness, skin eruptions, and a host of other disorders.. For these disorders, and for their root "cause (constipation), Bile Beans are un-

equalled.

Mra 8. Williams, of Longhope, Glouce- ster, England, has proved this.

to constipation. It brought on piles and biliousness, robbed me of appetite and energy, and made my life a burden to me, Many a weary day have I spent weighed down with a feeling of utter wretchedness, and not caring whether I lived or died. Doctors? Yes I tried sovoral, but no amount of doctoring seemed capable of affording mo the slightest relief and by dogress I grow weaker and weaker.

A few months ago I saw some striking "testimony in a newspaper to the success of ↑ Bile Beana in cases of constipation: So I determined to give them a fair trial, Soon after toginning the course I felt a change. I became brighter and as I porsevered with the Beans the distressing symptoms from which I had suffered so long began to leave me. My appetite improved, and my bowels were corrected and strengthened. I ceased to be troubled with Constipation, and what I ate no longer mado me bilious. Now, After a thorough course of the Beans I feel stronger, more vigorous, and in better Boalth generally than I have felt for many years. Thanks alone to Bile Beans, life for me has been made once more worth living

THAT colebrated physician, the late Sir

Androw Clark, expressed the firm opinion that constipation was the cause of one half of the ailments from which women and girls suffer. It fills the blood with impurities, rob the system of energy, causes piles, headache, biliousness, skin eruptions, and a host of other disorders. For these disorders, and for their root cause (constipation), Bile Boans are un- .oqualled.

Mrs S. Williams, of Loughope, Glouce ster, England, has proved this. For fully

A woman was tossed high in the air as she ran, and fall to the ground a dozen yarda from where she was struck.

The bulls then attacked three cab-horses which had been deasrted by their drivers, and gored them to death.

A large force of gendarmes armed with rilles had by this time arrived, and a num ber of employees from the bull ring appear ed on the scetio.

One of the bulls charged into the midst of the gendarmes, who fired a volley, and the animal foll dead. Bullets rattled against the walls of the houses in the street, and some windows ware broken, but for tunately no one was hurt.

SAGHALIEN LANDING.

Some Press Comments.

The news of the occupation of a por tion of Saghalien is received by the vernacular Press with the utmost salis faction for the reason that the Japanese army has for the first time put foot on Bussian soil, whereas the battles during the past eighteen months have been fought outside Russian territory. Pure sentiment is another reason for the Japin- ese jubilation, says the Jajan Chronicle. Saghalien, over which Japan had cortain rights, of which she was deprived by Russia in what is considered to have boun ah unfair way, has now been re-ecoupied, and it will henceforth be a part of Japan.

The Jiji Shimpo mays the the news of the occupation of Korsakoff has come as a wol

thing will more clearly explain these re- lations than the discovery, in 1809, by Mamiya Rinshu, who was sent by the. Japaneso Gororament on a geographical survey, of the straits between the island and the mainland, known to the world by the name of the Mamiya Straits. The Jiji concludes its article by dwelling at some longth on the history of Saghalien,

However people may sentimentally re- juice over the occupation of Soghalion, writes the Nippon, it is only a small job from a military point of view. With the command of the sea in the hands of Japan, the fate of the island became a foregone conclusion. Indeed, the annexation of Saghalien by Russia must be considered as one of her blunders. By the acquisition

of an island by which she could never have expected to specially profit, Russia incurred the implacable enmity of the Japanese. However, she can hardly be blamed for her want of foresight in this respect, for thirty years ago nobody would havo suppos- ed that Japan would develop into such a Power and be enabled to exert the influence which she now wields., The Nippon goes on to say: "For future military activities on a gigantic scale wo unust look in the

direction of Manchuria and North Korea. When the curtain rises on the now dramo -it-will-have-an'effec; analogous to that of the destruction of the Russian armada in the Japan Sea. We hope that this will soon come to pass, for the sake of the reputation of the Japanese Army,”.
