RUSSIAN PEASANTS
BELIEVE IN THE GAR

ST. PETERSBURG, April 26.-Rus.
sian peasants believe the car is not
only Gods apostle on earth, but 10
Gods ally. A legend Illustrating this
belief is now going the rounds in the
Russian country districts:
God was sleeping in heaven one day
when Peter called him. Lord" ma
said, serious events are passing on
earth and you must come at once"
What is it," said God, who was an
noyed at being disturbed THE Jap
anese are killing the Chinese" answer
ed Peter. God, settling down to sleeu
again, said: That's of no consequence.
Go away and leave me alone"
Presently Peter came again. Lord,
Lord, You must awake. The Turks ara
massacreing the Bulgarians." what
does that matter? Don't disturb me
for such trifles,' replied God, going
to sleep again.
Peter came the third time. lord,
this time it is very serious. The Eng
lish are killing the Beers in the Trans-
wall They don't count said God.
will you let me sleep in peace?"
The fourth time Peter came and
walked him God was very angry. What
is it now%' he demanded. Lord"
said Peter, 'the japanese have killed
some Russians" God sprang up. "That
is serious" he said. Go and tell them
that l am coming myself"

WHEN JAP WOMEN
WERE WARRIORS

In feudal times, which came to an
end in Japan only 80 years ago, all
gentlewomen were trained in the use
of the -word and lance The women Fl
the samuri class received a regular
military education, and if the castle Of
daimo was besieged they were capa-
BILE of assisting in the defense if neees-
sary. Some japanese women refused
to weep over their dead, becaue it
was considered disloyal to the mikado
to weep for those who had had the
honor to die fighting for him. When a
wife or mother heard that husband
or son had been killed in battle, the
first expression uttered was an ae<
knc wledgement OF the honor conferred
upon her by the gods in being bereaved
for the cause of the emperor.
