LIEF OF PEKING.
cred. The whole japanese army, otli
GERS and men. on war footing figures
up only 100000. while the war strength
of Russia is 5,Gl7703 officers and men.
But II is not sheer weight of numbers
that always wins victories, and some
military authorities believe that the
Jap would beat the bear in an armed
clash, as he did China in the war of
1894. They recognize that the army of
the island empire is a compact and no
mogeneOus whole, organized in accord
ance with the best western methods,
commanded by officers trained in the
best schools of the occident.
1t has often been affirmed by those
conversant with the facts that the
morale of the Japanese army Is second
to none in the world Another point to
be noted, Notwithstanding the general
ly accepted idea to the contrary, is that
the Jap is not inferior physically TO the
bcst soldiers in the world today. In
the crack Japanese regiments five feet
seven, eight ana nine inches are com
mon heights. and, what is more impor-
tant than height, the Jap sailor or sol
dler impreSses the observer as of stur-
der build than even the Englishman
Or American.
1t has been said that. though the
Japanese army and navy might be eX-
pected TO fight well If successful from
the start, Il few reverses In the begin
ming would induce a panic. History
( dlsproves this theory.
One of Japun's greatest military
geniuses Is General Yasumasa Fuku-
shlma, who during the early operations
for the relief of Picking in the Boxer
uprising of 1900 led the japanese
troops and later in the campaign com
mandcd one brigade of COCO men, while

Ardent Pedestrians.

"Christopher North" prof. John Will
SOM, a giant over six feet high, whose
tread seemed almost to shake the
streets" thought nothing of tramping 40
miles in eight hours, or of walking from
Liverpool to Elleray, distance of 80
miles, in day, says the Westminster
Gazette. Wordsworth, though he could
never have kept pace with Wilson's
swinging stride, was always good for
20-mile stroll, and used to boast that he
had walked six times round the earth.
Charles Dickens was always at his
brightest and happiest when he was
striding gayly along country lanes at
good five miles an hour. On one memoir
able occasion he covered 20 miles >"fair

in question.

BEST OF MODERN PACANS.
The Japanese Are Deserving Of Much
Praise If They Are
Heather.

Thirty-four years ago, at the mika-
dos summons, Rev. William Elliott
Griffis went to Japan, says the Hart
provincial superintendent of schools
and professor of physics in the imperial
university at Toxic AS Christian
minister he cannot be suspected of I'M
due partially for tie heather. He
says the yellow peril is a mere night
mare. In the present war Japan has
right on her side, he says. She is fight
ing for very life. Her ambitions are
commercial, not martial. She stands
for fair play, civilized ideas, education,
and religious liberty. Russia is domi-
mated at present by absolutism and ia
naticism, bureaucracy and priestcraft.
All the world should wish Japan sue
cess In this war and we Americans
most OF all. She's fighting our battle.
Japanese success is the best possible
thing for Russia herself. LET Russia
be curbed and humbled and arrested in
her crusade" says Rev. DR.. Griffis, land
she will turn around and look inward
and begin to educate and civilize her
own people"
Rev. David S. Spencer has been a
missionary in Japan for 20 years. He
agrees with DR.. Grif1ls that talk about
the yellow peril is all folderol. "The
Japanese determined upon the adoption
of occidental ideals of civilization in
good faith" he says. "They are car
rying out that policy in good faith and
with brilliant results. They have no
desire or purpose to unite the yellow
race against the white, their statesmen
have done all they could to discourage
that ideal on the part of China" Mis-
sionary Spencer is convinced that
there is no Drawer people on earth than
the Japanese and none more intelli-
gently patriotic. He hopes with all his
heart that Japan may win.
So does Rev. James H. Pettee, an
other veteran missionary: He says
that the sympathy of Christendom
should be given to Japan "unreserved-
ly." He says that Russian success
would turn back the hands on the
clock full half century. Judged by
performances on the stage of the far
east" he says, Japan is far more
Christian than Russia and safer GUS
todian of the interest of those awaken
ing nations"

Some Big FLYERS.

OF birds now in existence probably the
one with the greatest expanse of wing in
proportion to the body and with the
greatest power of flight is the frigate or
man-o'-war bird, says St. Nicholas.
This bird apparently flies more by skill
than by strength, for it has no great
carrying powers. The wandering alba
tross. the largest of all sea birds, is also
one of our strongest flyers. One bird
was known to fly at least !, $50 miles in
IL days. This bird was caught, tagged.

WHY CHINESE DO WASHING.
Find tie Work Easy and Can Get
Along Without Learning
Much English.

1T is certainly very strange that nine
out of every ten Cinnamon who have
come to the United States have become
laundrymen,' said F. G.. Simmons, of
Seattle, to e. Washington Star man.
They DO not engage in this business
In China. AS everyone knows, the Chi
nese at home wear soft cotton and fan
mel garments, according to the season,
and there is not a pound of starch in
China. Stifly starched collars and cuffs
are not known and the men do not do
the washing as they do in this coun-
try. AS a matter of fact, there is not
a regular laundry in China.
Another thing that is noticeable is
the ingenuity of Mr.. Chinaman dis
played in the signs and checks used in
the laundry. business. Chinese is an
Geographic language. It conveys the
idea, not the word. for thing.
The Chinese have invented more:
than 10000 marks for their writing, but
it requires only about 1900 for general
mercantile purposes. For instance,
there are no characters in the Chinese
for letters of any such simple variations
as Roman and Arabic numerals. 1t is
therefore impossible to translate or
transliterate into Chinese such common
marks as A 1 or w 6. In place of this
the Chinaman uses the .ideographs for
the commoner facts of life, such as
moon, house. dog bear table,
chair and street In addition to this
he employs the numeral characters
from 1 up to 100.
"A customer goes into a laundry I'M
able to speak Chinese and gives his
package to a man unable to understand
English. He receives in return check
containing two characters. One repre-
sents the day of the week or the month
and the second one of the facts men,
toned, such as moon or lion The
slip is torn through the middle upon the
principle of legal indenture. It is i'm
possible to initiate the torn pieces so
that they will fit the half retained by
the laundry.
''Then upon the daybook of the laun-
dry the proprietor enters under the day
of the week or month the telegraph
moon or lion assigned to the customer
and beneath this the articles left to be
laundered. He then takes down from
a hook lot of muslin tags, on which
are written in indelible ink moon or
'lion,' I, 2, 4, S, etc. One of these tags
is affixed to each article except the COL
lars and cuffs. To these one tag is af-
fixed, which is fastened by a strong
thread or cord tied through the button
hole in each article. In addition to this
they often put private mark upon the
article to be cleaned, although this is
not very common. When the goods are
washed and ironed they are done up in
a package and the day and special char
acter are written on the outside In
addition to this the half ticket is fas-
tened to it with pin. When the Gus
toner calls for his laundry he gives
up his half ticket, and If he is known
by sight the package is handed to him.
If he is not known or is suspected of
being a confidence operator, and there
are many such, his half ticket is fitted
to the laundry half ticket before he is
given the package"
