JAPAN'S WAR CRY

There are few, if any, parts OF the
world into which the Salvation Army
has not penetrated, and even among
the subjects of the emperor of japan
are thousands of loyal followers OF
Gen. Booth.
An interesting account of Salvation
army work in Japan is given by Mr..
Charles Duce, the "chief secretary" of
the Japanese contingent of the army.
Starting work eight years ago on a
small scale, they have now thirty
eight corps and outposts, and ninety
officers and cadets, nearly all of whom
are Japanese. Ten thousand copies
fortnight of the Japanese War Cry"
are circulated, phenomenal sale for

sALTo VS.. TYxToFr

While Russia, even if crippled at
sea, could prolong the conflict on land
by pouring her troops into Manchuria
and Korea, the same does not apply
to Japan. To fight Russia in Korea,
Japan must dominate the sea, and
hence the mastery of that element
will be the stake at the beginning of
the struggle.
The two chief commanders in the
naval struggle will be Admiral Salto,
OF the japanese navy, and Vice-Ad-
miral Tyrton of the Russian. Both are
capable and trained officers, in whose
Judgment and courage their respective
governments have the utmost conf
dence- Admiral SaIto saw service in

THE CARS MENTOR

It is certain M. Besobrazoff, who is
stated to have vast personal interests
in Manchuria and Korea, who is pull
ing the ear of the Car of Russia, il
all accounts can be believed, and he is
particularly active in promoting his
own interests at the present stage
In what manner he managed to gain
the Cars ear is one of those mys-
teries of Court intrigue not likely to
be revealed in our days. But that he
has wormed himself into the Cars
confidence is a very open secret in
diplomatic circles in every capital OF
Europe.
Admiral AIexeieff Is equally con-
cerned financially in closing Manchu-
ria and Korea to foreign exploitation.
Indeed, I. was to NJ Besobrazoff's in
duence that Admiral Alexeieff owed
his appointment and the wide and
daily extended powers granted to him
as Russian viceroy In the Far East

THE CARS. ARMY

The Russian empire possesses the
biggest fighting machine in the world
in the shape of its army and navy,
but there is no other military force
of which the world knows so little. so
reticent are the soldiers of the czar
concerning everything which has to
do IN any way with their profession
Even the numerical strength OF the
army is largely a matter OF con1ec-
ture As nearly as can be reckoned.
the force available for carrying on the
earlier stages of a war amounts to
nearly 3.1OO 900. But in case of ma
tional emergency this force could be

Turned the Tables.

A Washington friend of Joseph JEFF
erson tells of the neat way in which
the venerable comedian once reproved
some thoughtless matinee girls.
1t appears that after a performance
in Chicago one Saturday afternoon
the manager was prevailed upon to
take back of the scenes several of Chi
cago's most attractive girls, who had
witnessed rip" from box.
"Oh, Mr.. Jefferson.' exclaimed the
prettiest of the girls, I'VE enjoyed
your performance so much; but, do
you know, we could hardly hear q
word you said.'

Russia's affairs in the Far East, and
whose naval knowledge is superior to
that OF any other man in the Musco-

numerical superiority over Russia, but
her insular position leaves her ex-

upon her navy for her home protec-

CLOCKS OF TOXIC

The Japanes divide the twenty-four
hours into twelve periods, of which
six belong to the night and six to the
day, their day beginning at sunrise
and ending at sunset. Whether the
day or night be long or short, there
are always six periods in each.
To attain this, the characters or
numerals on the scale on their time
pieces are adjustable. Two of them
are set one to agree with the sunrise.
the other with sunset, and the four
characters between them divide the
space into equal portions. Thus, when
the period of daylight Is 0nger than
the night, the day hours will be pro-
portionately longer than those at
night.

1t was the early part of February
that 1 received a note from Arthur
Westfield, begging me to meet him on
the bridge, over the stream that sep
arated the sporting grounds OF the
Estmore seminary from our seminary,
where | was employed as a music and
French teacher.
Arthur was a very warm friend. and
having heard that he was i'll IN the
hospital l gladly complied with his re
Quest and was on the bridge exactly
at the time appointed. Prompt as /
was he was on the spot His lace was
pale, and he did not look at all like the
youth that l had known for year He
did not sec me when l approached, not
until | touched him on the arm, and
spoke his name, but when his eyes
rested upon me, a glad smile bright
ened his face and he caught my hands
warmly in his-exclaiming with un-
feigned delight:
Dear Sophie, how glad am to see
you at last, l can speak to you only
for a few minutes, and l wish to tell
you something that oppresses me-
l smiled at his nervousness. Tell
me, Arthur; you know that 1 believe
you incapable of anything unbecoming
a gentleman"
Thank you for those kind words,
but l have been charged with a crime
and arrested for theft. Think OF it,
My name coupled with base crime"
Tell me about it, 1 said, scarcely
able to believe my ears; surely you.

Listen, them he said, gently. Ten
days ago. on Sunday morning, l was
aroused at four o'clock by a loud call
from my father, which l Immediately
answered.
"'Come down quickly he cried: do
not lose moment, or l will come up

I entered the room, my father ad-

Threatened Tax on Turtles Not to be
Imposed.
There is rejoicing among high liv-
ers in Europe that the Nicaraguan
government has not thought we'll to
persist in its attempt to tax turtles
and turtle-catching off the Mosquito
coast The crews of the turtling fleet
were to be taxed 50 a head and the
turtles at so cents a head. About 10
turtles arrive at Southampton, Eng
land, every fortnight and are taken to
London, where in the properly fitted
up establishment of a specialist who
is called the turtle king" these curl
Gus creatures flap about in their straw
until the inevitable hour" arrives. 1t
needed no tax to make turtle soup
expensive, for the risks in carriage
are described as enormous. Between
Southampton and London especially
the mortality is considerable despite
all the care taken. A dead turtle is
called an angel" but the angelic
stage is not always recognizable, and
many a cook has been knocked down
by the fin-fiap of an apparent '-angel''
which has suddenly and literally
turned turtle"

Emperor Mutsuhito of Japan bears
the ancient title of mikado, meaning
the honorable gate" but in all diplo-
matte documents he is addressed as
Kotel. He was born at Kyoto, Nov
3. 1852, and ascended the throne on
the 18th of February. 1867. upon the
death of his father, Komei Tenno.
The mikado was married Feb. 9, 1863,
