census reports do not measure the strength of a nation. If they did the
 slmile of Goliath and RUSSIA AND David would apply very JAPAN well to Russia and Ja-
 pan. Russia has more than eight and half million square miles of territory and a population ac- cording to the ceusus of 1897 of 129. .000.- 900. Japan has 7.655 square miles of territory and a population, in 1893, of 4s.750.OOO.
 But Japan has clements of strength that Russia is far from possessing and in contest waged in eastern Asia 1t Is by no means certain that the little island empire would not come off tri- umphant in contest with her gigantic adversary.
 One of the chief elements of Japanese strength is the homogeneity of the peo- ple. They are practically all of one race. speaking the same language and with the same religion and customs. Russia. on the other hand, includes the most diverse kinds of people. scattered over immense areas, and incapable of coherent action under the direction of the emperor and his generals.
 Japan Is intensely loyal as a nation. while Russia Is scanned with disloyalty A foreign war in Japan would be well comed with the enthusiasm of patriot ism. while In Russia it might serve as the oportunity for revolution.
 Japan could throw her entire strength into war with Russia for the reason that she need fear no other foe Russia would never dare to exert her full strength against Japan, for, like England in dealing with the Boers. she would always need to keep her right arm free for use against a stronger foe. Japan Is compact. where Russia is dinuse and if the nations have not been entirely mistaken in what they have seen In China, the Japanese are the superiors of the Russians both in the discipline of their soldiers and the training of their officers. The strides that have been made by the Japanese in various departments of civilization within the past few years are indica- tive of extraordinary national vitality, which If manifested to the same degree in military affairs would give Japan a strength out of proportion to her num- bers.
 In the average of her population as we'll as In the average of hsr acres. Ja- pan Is stronger than Russia. but wheth- CT the difference Is sufficient to over come the disparity in numbers Is some- thing that only actual experience could determine.

What n Hunch fs.

"Hunches" which prompt men to bet ou race horses are curious things. A 'shunch" is not tip, nor dream, but more of an inspiration or pre- sentiment. Some men firmly believe in them, and will bet their last sou on a horse if the hunch in that direc- ition looks good. But some don't be- lieve in such signs. and one of them is the clerk of welI-known Memphis hotel. He and a friend the other day were discussing the racing entries for the following day at Nashville, and were trying to pick a winner in each race. While thus engaged the house telephone buzzed and the clerk an- swered.

A large cock of the Plymouth Rock strain, in conn pany with two buxom bullets, strolled down upon the pier. Dick gave battle and the crew ate the Plymouth Rock for dinner. This victory seemed to spoil Dick and his whole disposition changed. Having learned to use his spurs he turned upon his former friends, striking them with remark able force upon the legs. When noper- son was available he would attack spars, buckets or other articles, play a tattoo and crow as for victory. He cleared ship of rats in his quest for gore. One day while exercising Dick hopped upon the after cabin roof and sprang high into the air. He had not calculated that the ship was sailing rapidly. It passed from beneath him, leaving him futtering in the air. About 100 feet astern Dick fell into tia r2+er and dsc -Dearcd-

THE FRENCH-IRIsH.
Many of Them Have Been Titled and Prominent Personages. in the
 History of France.

France, with it's MacMahons, O'Neills, O'Connors and Nugents, pos sesses many Irish names. The Bon- langer movement introduced to, us Count Dillon, in whose gardens rthe Floquet duel was fought. Most of the Franco-Irish, though 200 years may have passed since their ancestors left our shores, have preserved a great af- lection for Ireland, and each St. Pat rick's day sees a certain number of them united to celebrate the feast of Ireland's patron saint. Ihad the pleas ure of being present at one of these diners de St. Patrice, 7 under the pres tdency of Vicomte O'Neill de Tyrone, a charming nobleman, who claims de scent from Owen Roe O'Neill, says a writer in Gentleman's Magazine.
 Among Irish names in France may mention Crebillon de Ballyhigue, Mac Guclxin de Slane, Mahon de Monaghan, O'Quin d'Etcheparc (formerly mayor of Paul, Harty de Pierrebourg, Har- den-Hickey (who shows his Irish origin by editing the principal comic paper in Paris, the Triboulet). There are a few names with the prefix 'tO," and it is hard to know how they came by it. There is Baron O'Tard de la Grange and a Comtesse O'Pole; and I have also seen in a list of students O'Diette and O'Lanyer. These are to be dis tinguished, of course. from such noms de guerre as O'Monroy, O'Diu, O'Squarr, etc. Your average French man takes the bearer of a name with an 70" or "Mac' IS noble.
