instead of buying himself a fine house and
hiring an expensive tailor, lives in a very
ordinary mansion and makes point Of
dressing in sheepskin like peasant. 1t Is
also a point of honor with many rich
Moscow people never to take bath except
at Easter. and to cut their hair and boards
rarely. 1t is a common sight in fashion
able restaurant to see man so dirty and
unkempt that you wonder the walters adj
mitted him, seated at the head of table
ordering big dinner. If you inquire who
be is, you learn that he is one of the rich
est merchants in Russia.
A rich Moscow man has great idea Of
hospitality. If he takes six friends to a
restaurant he would not think of spending
less than $3.50 on the dinner. He does
this not because he and his friends want
such excellent food and wines, but because
he thinks if he does not blow himself to
this extent he will lose caste, and the re-
port will go about that he has grown poor.
A few nights ago one of the biggest Mos
COW merchants was dining at one of the
restaurants. He had ordered everything
he could think of and imbibed until he
was beyond the point of being sober.
However, this was merely the ordinary
procedure. He wanted to do something a
little extra to attract attention.
Looking about, he saw an Englishman
leave his table and go out of the only en-
trance to the restaurant. Immediately the
Moscow man summoned the proprietor.
do you think" he asked, chat / can
use the same door that an Englshman
uses? You must make me another door,"
The proprietor protested that the thing
was absurd and impossible, but the mer-
chant demanded his new door, and would
not leave until he got it. He offered to
pay all expenses, finally declaring that he
would give $4,000 for an individual door.
The restaurant keeper sent out and
brought pack of workmen with pickaxes
and knocked hole in the side of the
building for the merchant to go. He paid
the $1,000, and of course was the talk OF
Moscow. This was exactly what he want
ed, and he was much pleased This, by
the way, is absolutely true.
Another one is told of two Moscow mer-
chants, who were going on a Volga
steamer. One of them rode on ahead and
hired all the berths on the boat. When
his commercial rival came down he found
he could not get place to sleep. To turn
the tables heepromptly bought up all the
wine on board. The steamer started with
only two passengers. The man who owned
the beds gloated over the other all night,
and the man with wine bottles stacked
about him gloated over the other all day.
They thought they had broken about even.
Men like these, in their dirty sheepslin
coats, unwashed bodies and untrimmed
boards, who nevertheless get to their pur-
pose regardless of trouble and expense,
are the true Russians. They have made
Moscow and Russia gr>at; and they are
the people, not the perfumed diplomats
who are seen in London and Washington,
who are to be reckoned with in the Rus
sian scheme of conquest.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-02-18

The luxury of an officers life in other
services is scorned by the Japanese off
GERS. They habitually sustain life on
dried fish and rice, like the men in the
ranks, and ask nothing more substantial
on campaign. 1t was enough for them
when they were stepping off 40 miles day
across frozen Aanchuria during the war
with China.
The men are armed with rifle invented
by a japanese officer, General Arisaka
which is said to be a superior weapon to
the improved Mauser. 1t is said by mill
tary authorities to have superior stopping
qualities" to any other military rife.
Under the reserve system, every able
bodied man in Japan stands ready to
enlist. Nearly all have some knowledge of
military work and so will not be raw re-
cruits. Japan discharges her soldiers early
in time of peace and has thousands of
tried veterans upon whom she can depend
in the present crisis.
Promotion from the ranks is rare. The
standard for non-eommissioned officers is
higher than in any other army in the
world. The soldiers are great readers.
Japan turns out more printed matter
than any other country in the world ex-
cept Germany. The result is that, with
the great range of reading on top of his
ordinary education, the japanese soldier
is generally well-read man.
Careful attention is paid to the develop
ment of the body as well as the mental
faculties. Gymnasiums are attached to all
garrisons and they are of the very best
type. The officers do everything in their
mower to encourage gymnastics Eootbau
and other Western games are played in

referred to the STREETS and alleys commit
