husband pursass his own calling at one of the neighbouring pits, where he is well known and

expected.

It is none too easy a task to be a good woman of business and a good housewife as well Mrs. Hands is both. "To look after the shop is a pleasure," was her cheery summary of her feeling on the malter, and if she were

asked to give up the business, she would assuredly regard the proposal with no favour. Dr. Williams' pink pills are what enable her to be so busy and so happy: and few who see her would think that she was once a terrible sufferer.

Talking to the representative of a local news- paper at her home (12 Aberfair-crescent, Merthyr Vale, Wales), Mrs. Hands, who is 27 years old, said:

*Sueyears since I was laid low with a terrible attack of the umatism; three years later I had enteric fever, which left me prostrated with dropsy and heart disease, But thanks to Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people I am now a strong and healthy woman.

RUSSIA'S RESERVE POWER.

All the information that I receive from Rus-

sia is to the contrary effect. Let it be granted that Russia loses her navy, Port Arthur 180,000 men, and the whole of the stores, ammunition, treasure and weapons accumulated in the Liao Tong Peninsula. What then? The answer is that Russia will not budge an inch; her spirit will rise as the spirit of Englishmen rase at fucknow in 1857, and on board the Revenge in 50 at Flores, in the Azores, when facing fifty-seven great Spanish ships. The Russians then will be more formid ble to the British Fmpire than they are now, and it lies with the English Press to make regnerated Russia our enemy or our friend.

The effect of foreign disaster on a brave

neople is to unite, not to divide them. In addition to the suffering inflicted by the Japan- ese, the pride of Russians is wounded in its tenderest point. A month ago the Tapanese

were "yellow dwarfs" to the rulers of Russia. Defeat at the hands of a great white Power

would be terrible, but chastisement from Asia ties is as intolerable to the Russians as to the English,

the rulers of Russia writes to me. He is speak. A friend who occupies a high position among

ing of the patriotic feeling which for the time being pervades'all Russia:-

"We ourselves-the men at the rudder of the

State-are speechless from astonishment, see- ing how greatly is justified our hope, and our belief in the Russian people. It is real 'offen- barung,' as say the Germans! That is only at the beginning of nur scuffle with Japan. What will it be if our success were uncertain? We see with bewilderment how we have grown."

AN OFFICIAL VIEW.

He sends me, moreover, a memorandum in which he described the character of the patriotism, which has been evoked since the outbreak of war. The students of Kieff and Odessa, turbulent and liberal in politics, have rallied to the Government. The students of Odessa bore the Emperor's portrait in proces- sion. At Rostoff on the Don, and at Warsaw students demonstrated in the streets, accom- panied by an immense crowd, At Wins and and Nicolaieff the loyalty and patriotism of the peasants and industrial classes have been strikingly illustrated. One per cent of the earnings of those employed at the Alapayefak works are voluntarily given to those reservists called to the colours, non-workers paying three

Some time ago, according to the Scotch papers, thirty-six Carrier Pigeons flew from Spalding to Tranent (addingtonshire) in saven hoursa ti-tance of 300 miles--at the rate of nearly 43 miles an hour, which would be a good average pace for a railway train over the distance.
