TOCO'S TACTICS
PUzzLINC
Mark a New Departure in Naval
Warefare and Show
Strategic Plans

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
TOXIC, March Slack of details of
formations, firing ranges and evolu-
tions prevents a full understanding and
appreciation of Admiral Togo's tactics.
He seems to be endeavoring to accom-
plish the maximum destruction with
the minimum of exposure. He is care
fully balancing those considerations
and relying upon superior mobility,
craftsmanship and ammunition.
At the outset the equality of naval
strength, the probable necessity of
fighting the Russians under the batter
les of Port Arthur made extreme eau
ton essential.
The loss of a few ships endangered
the ultimate success of the Japanese
arms. hence the brevity of the engage
ment of February 9th and the AVOID
anee of the engagement of the fortress.
The same tactics We're followed in
Thursdays engagement and lombard
ment. These dashes. brief battles and
speedy Withdrawals are a novelty in
naval warfare which warrant the con-
sideration of strategists.
Admiral Togo's reliance particularly
on gunnery' is fully warranted by his
gunners clearly outshooting the Rus
slams. sHe constantly fought at long
range, severely Furnishing the enemy
and escaping without serious damage
himself.
The personnel of his forces is shown
in another way by the superiority of
the officers and men, who are anxious
10 undertake hazardous duty.
Togos ships are apparently in better
condition than the Russian vessels.
The heavy scoring of the orpedo craft
is one of the surprises of the war so
far. Foreign naval experts say. how
ever, that making every allowance for
the daring, skill and persistency of the
Japanese the Russians are largely to
blame for lack of watchfulness and
poor Workmanship.

! PRINCESS GOVERNOR
OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT.

A charming and handsome woman is
Princess Henry of Battenberg, but only
since the death of Queen Victoria has
she come much before the public. Even
her marriage in 1885 did not prevent
Beatrice of Battenberg from still being
her mothers companion, and the death
of her handsome and much beloved
husband in January, 1896, drew the
widowed queen and princess into still
closer bonds Of love and sympathy.
Princess Beatrice's four children were
all born either at Windsor or Balmoral,
and they added very much to the
brightness of their grandmother's

was devoted to them, and when the eld-
er princes went to school she used to
write to them. One of her letters
proved of exceptional value to one of
the royal youngsters. 1t was written to
the acknowledgment she received was
son that it didn't matter about the
money, for he had sold her letter to an
other boy for $25.

at the now almost obsolete art of illu-

Victoria most cherished were a copy of

her clever youngest daughter.
In the Isle Of Wight, of which she is

is specially popular. She is president of
the Royal Isle of Wight Golf club, of
which the king is patron, and is very

impressed on every child, whether he
live in the city or in the country, is how
to see things out of doors. If he learns
to do this early in life he will not only
become man of larger intelligence
and culture, but also happier and
more successful one than he otherwise
would.
At the cost of few cents the poorest
boy or girl may be transported to the
country and there see beauties which
might entrance an angel. Yet many
persons travel across continents to see
the works of great masters and give
fortunes to possess themselves of a
canvas or two representing a land
scape, such as a sunset or some other
bit of nature, while they remain dense
and unappreciative in the picture gall
lery of the great Artist of the universe.
Many of us have become so self abb
sorbed and have had our energies so
long directed upon our material desires
and problems, our plans to amass mon
ey. to make business pay, to perfect
some invention, to write a book or to
attain this or that ambition-in short,
all our faculties have been centered in
ourselves SO long that they cannot look
outward except upon the things that
concern our immediate interests. To
learn to see things out of doors would
be to many of us like learning new
occupation or profession in middle life.

the smaller yachts ventured nearer the

Then for an hour there was compare

for the dinner. The sun finally disap-
peared over the waters, the smell of
appetizing dishes came floating to the

Tradition Of Tahiti.

"When 1 first went to Tahiti" said a
traveller from the south seas, Il landed
on one of the remote islands. The first
night I went in state to visit the chief.
He was q fine old fellow, fully six feet
two in height, and man every inch of
him. / happened to know people who
had lived on his island for time. Thru
an Interpreter he asked me all kinds of
questions about them-if they were
well, if their hair was getting gray, how
muchm oney they had, etc. Then con-
versation languished.
"At length I heard him repeating to
the Interpreter word that sounded like
'yonelsulwan.' The interpreter seemed
to catch it finally. He said:
".He wants to know how is John L.
Sullivan? Is he fighting as hard as
ever?'
ooh no. said truthfully. John l..
Sullivan isn't champion any more. He
was beaten by a big man from the west
and a man from the big islands beat
that man and another big man from the
west beat him.
''When this was told to the chief he
looked me all over and said something
in very positive tone.
"'He tells me- said the interpreter,
that he doesn't believe you. He thinks
you don't like John L. Sullivan
everywhere went on the islands It
was the same story. When they found
that I was an American they all asked
for John l..

began to come in numbers to the is
lands about the time when John L. was
supposed to be unbeatable. These AM
orleans introduced the boxing game.

AN EARLY WALK.

The girl who rises at every morning
and, wet or fine, goes for an hours walk
before breakfast is rewarded for her
self denial by gaining a healthy appe-
tite and a nice complexion.
The early morning air is the freshest
and purest of the day, and it both in
vfgorates the body and stimulates the
brain. For the very thin girl this sim
pie prescription will be found most
beneficial, but it must be persevered In
regularly. A walk one day and staying
in bed till breakfast time the next will
do more harm than good.
A cup of milk and biscuit is all that
is necessary before starting. A banana
or an orange eaten while out is excel
lent, and let the breakfast consist OF
oatmeal. stewed fruit and eggs.
