IApAN'S ARMY AND NAVY.
Recent Military Progress of These
People Exceeds That Of
ether Nations.

Since her war with China, Japan has
made more progress as military and
naval power than almost any other
nation in the world. Of the Ss2,5OO,.
300 war indemnity she received from
China she has spent s2e 100000 on her
army and more than s5O,OOO,OOO on her
navy. At the beginning Of that war
Japan's army Of peace footing con-
sisted OF $1,000 officers and men. This
has since been increased TO 145,coo on
q peace footing and $4,000 on a war
footing, relates the Little Chronicle.
Since the war with China she has
added four frst-class battleships,
six frst-class cruisers and large flo
tilla of torpedo boats. Besides these
she has nine second-class cruisers,
five third-class cruisers, ten coast de-
fense vessels, two frst-class and Is
second-class gunboats, four dispatch
boats and a torpedo depot ship. The
japanese navy is now larger than the
Russian navy. The naval and mill
tary officers are as carefully trained
as those of European nations. Jap
anese naval students are to be found
at Annapolis, in, this country, and IN
all the best naval schools of Europe
Her new warships are among the best
that float. Two of the new battle
ships are exact copies of the great
English battleship the Royal Sover-
eign, and our own cruiser Charleston
pwas modelled after the japanese cruis'
er Naniwa.

James II. Holmes is in EmpOria
from New York state, and will proba-
bly, bring suit TO recover bali section
OF land just north OF EmpOria. The
land is supposed to belong to F. c.
Newman. Holmes thinks il belongs
to him. In 1855 he came TO Lyon
county, then Breckenridge county,
and took q claim on a quarter section
OF that land. The adjoining quarter
was taken by a young woman. 10 that
year the two claim holders were mar.
ried. The young couple needed
money and borrowed some from a
Massachusetts, man, giving their farm
as security to their note. The Massa'
chusetts man died without ever call

CLEOPATRA USED COSMETICS.

When Cleopatra made captive the
heart of Mark Anthony, the victor OF
Philippi, she was "a years old. AT this
age women of the orient begin to show
signs of a decline of their physical
charms. The fact that the star-eyed
Egyptian was then in the height OF her
beauty warrants the assertion that she
wisely used whatever cosmetic art was
known at that time TO improve her per-
sonal appearance. And even if she had
not employed the salves, etc, there 10

failed to DO, and that is to darken her
eyebrows. All the women of the orient
1arken their eyebrows and eyelashes
to-day, just the same as they did thou
sands of years ago. Proof of this was
found in the graves which contained
not exactly eyebrow pencils, but tiny
boxes filed with black paste and small
wooden implements for applying the
same. This was used not alone by the
women, but by the men also, says a
London exchange.
Even manicuring was known in those
ancient days, because we are told by
the best authorities that Paris had
most shining nails and darkened both
his eyelashes and his brows.
1t would be an easy matter to ridi-

SO, because some of them have been
used ever since through all these CEN
