A japanese lady is noted for her courage
her streugl h of mind and self-possession.
1t Is wonderful to think what physical
trials and dangers these fragile little crea-
lures will undergo in an emergency. The
late prime minister's life was saved by the
courage and presence Of mind of his wife,
says the Cornhill Magazine.
Many years ago. when quite a young
woman. during a rebelhon, Count Ito was
hiding from his enemies, who, having
tracked him to his house, sent a band Of
"soshis" TO assassinate him. on hearing
his enemies approaching, and trapped like
a rat in its hole, the count drew his
sword and prepared TO die; but the count
ess whispered: do NOT die; there is hone
stiu" and, removing the "hoatchi" or
fire box. and lifting up the mats ana the
planks beneath, she Induced her husband
to conceal himself 10 the hollow space
which exists under the floor OF all Japan
csc houses. The murderers broke into the
room Just as the fire box had been re-
placed, and demanded of the countess their
victim In vain they Threatened and
cruelty iu-treated her, dragging her about
the room by her long black hair. But II
was Of no avail! they could not shake her
resolute fidelity. Thanks TO her courage
Count Ito escaped, and has lived TO give
to his country a new constitution, and be-
come one of the greatest statesmen Of
modern Japan. | often wonder when I
see the countess. now delicate gray
haired little lady, at the courage and pres
ence of mind that she displayed at that
critical moment of her life.

MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE
SUCCESSFUL RAILROAD MEN BEGIN
AT THE BOTTOM AND WORK UP.
Common Time and Common Fare to
BE the Motto of the Vanderbilt Lines
General and Personal Notes.

A railroad official who commenced as
office boy, but who now holds an important
position and is an unusually capable railroad
man, said yesterday that he was afraid that
many of the young men who are being
turned out of the universities and colleges
as full-fiedged railroad men would be dis
appointed when they ventured into railroad
service, as they will aim too high. Already
he had received several applications for
positions from young men who have been
educated in these technical schools. and
from the tenor of their application, either
in person or by letter, one would think they
could step on locomotive and run it as
well as the oldest engineer on the road or
enter any line of transportation and per-
form the duties of veteran in service; but
they will have to learn that while their
technical education may in time be of bene-
fit, in the beginning it will be of little avail
A man must begin at the bottom rung
1t is experience and close attention to duty
that puts man in line of rapid promotion
If one will study the railroad situation he
will find that 50 per cent. of the men who
make success in railroad work are those
or years of experience, commencing in the
yards, switching or carrying the rod, sur
yeying railroad line, in the engineering
department, or as messenger boy in some
superintendent office or at some telegraph
office; the other 5 per cent. reach office
through nepOtiSm or faVoritiSm. THE
trouble said the railway official lis that
the students of colleges will not take the
position of a fireman. brakeman or yard
man. but want to step into good positions
without experience"

Wheat-Other Quotations.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-There was an adj
vance of HOLE in the price of wheat to-
day. attended by more active speculation.
particularly in the last hour, when the top
notch was reached. A prominent part taken
by outsiders in buying operations led to the
natural conclusion that the public was at
last getting interested in wheat and would
become the foremost factor in regulating
prices, In face of the well-known bearlsh
attitude of foreigners or any other consid-
SIdtioH calculated to affect adversely the
leVel or values. To-day's sharp rise was
therefore, largely a sentimental and specula-
i've one. Rumors for some time current 10
