HISTORY DOES OFT REPEAT.
Russian Japanese War Compared to
 Persian Grecian Conflict.

The spectacle of ponderous Russia throwing herself upon pigmy Japan, recalls the attempts Of the Persian hosts to overcome the little Greek na- ton. 1.40O years ago, and the outcome of the present st-u ggie may be as dlS- astrous to the Russia colossus in the far east, as was the ancient conflict to the great Persian armada.
 Like the Crecians of old, The Japan ese have a system Of physical culture, that is 9 national institution. It does noc take the form Of fheart- splitting, nerve -racl1ing feats such as some of the western peoples affect, bat is based upon a systematic and uniform feXure and relaxation of every muscle in the tody, that is under control of the will.
 Although the Russian has naturally a strong and welI-made physique, no systematic means a1e taken to increase or perserve it's force. On the contrary, the shiftlessness and slovenliness of the Russian, soldiery, save in actual cam paign, or when on parade. are nOtor- iOu. Further than that Russian ''vOd- ka," (strong drinl) is absorbed in large quantities daily by almost every mem Der of the cZar's army.
 The Japan>se. on the other hand, are known as the most abstemious nation of the east, seldom indulging excessive ly in intoxicating liquors. Although they are, in a way, a pleasure loving race. it does not take the form of phy- sical degeneracy.
 Military critics have not yet ceased predicting that when Russia gets her second breath" she will sweep the short-legged Japanese fn5o the sea but unless this additional respiration is soberer than those drawn by the AanchUrian army of occupation. as de- sc.ibed by responsible eye-witnesses to their debaucheries. the dire prophecy will never be fulfilled

QUICKER THAN PASTOR.
Street Boys Showed That They Were
 Wide Awake.

A minister of the gospel who long labored in Brooklyn, but who has now taken himself to @ prominent western Presbyterian church, tells a good story of his early mission IaSors in Manhat- tan. He was asked to go over on the East side and make an address at a mission where gathered chiefly the boys of the street, newsboys and boot blacks. He was telling a group of his brethren that if they ever were called upon to talk to street boys they should be well prepared to avoid anything whereby the boys could catch them up. for he declared they were the sharpest to be found anywhere.
 T went prepared to give them a lit tie talk which they could readily un- dersrand, as I thought. took the word star and under the s 1 spoke of the need of sobriety, under the t truth, under the a ambition, and under the r righteousness. I emphasized each trait as necessary to be sought after ] had not given it a thought, showing l was really duller than my boy hear CTS, but I said, now we will take them backwards, but there was an imme- diately shout, "Ratst" My speech ended then and there. So counsel you to be careful with street boys and don't go backwards. Brooklyn Eagle.

 Don't tell your personal interests, occupations, hopes or aspirations. No body wants to hear them and you give your dignity a mortal stab.
 Don't discuss children. If you have any. the chances are you are boring those who have not. If you have none, you are sure to be mortally wound ing those who have.
 Don't discuss dress. The lady whose evening gown you are scoring may have come direct from Paris, wearing the newest thing, and the whole sub ject is a hopeless one anyway.-Harp- CTS Weekly.

Baron -Hayashi Reviews Campaign From
Japanese Standpoint.

LONDON, May Barron Hayashi,
the japanese minister here, said today:
The immediate result of Gen. Kuroki's
Feng Huan Cheng, which the Chinese
had fortified with their brick structures.
Since the commencement of the war the
Russians doubtless have added earth
works but their loss of guns yesterday
must seriously diminish their defensive
strength
The duration of the war must lie
rather with Russia than with Japan.
For the moment the military advantage
Is with us, for Kuropatkin has extended
his front and we can strike where and
when we will. Our aggressive move
ment may be carried on to Mukden, per-
haps to Hardin, and perhaps even
further, but before long there
must come a stage of the campaign
invading power and when we must act
solely on the defensive. From the be-
ginning it has been so, and our agrees
sion is and has been but means toward
army
Kuropatkin says he will not undertake
to drive US back until he has 300, 600 men
ready to take the field. / think what
that means is that at least per cent of
that force will die from sickness so that
to keep his force at the maximum re-
CURED Kuropatkin will always have to
be transporting 5000 men from st. Pc
This years harvest in Manchuria, I
learn, promises to be bad. A million Rus
SLAMS there in addition to the army, must
be fed. We have or shall have closed
every source of food supply except by the
Siberian railroad. Even with double
tracks and no men or munitions Of war
to transport, the problem of feeding the
Russian population and army now in
Manchuria would be in itself intensely
serious, but with a single track road,
which is Russia's only vital sinew, it
seems almost impossible, and famine ap-
pears inevitable With this dreadful ac-
compartment of war, there is only too
likely to be rising among the Man
churians. They may attack the Rus
SLAMS or they may attack US Either case
Is bad enough to contemplate
Referring to the long period which
elapsed between the declaration of war
and the land fighting, Minister Haya-
shi said:
That waiting which taxed the patience
of the rest of the world has been a
busy and exciting time for us. Our troops
have been continually marching and
working in anticipation of striking the
blow which would initiate the campaign

MinnesOtan Has New Chance.

SHANGHAI. May 2-As a result Of
the occupation of Antung by the Jap
anese United States Consul James W.
Davidson, who has been assigned to
Antung, probably will proceed to his
post Immediately. Mr.. Davidson has
been granted an exequateur by the
Chinese government, but the Russians
having occupied and fortified Antung,
he thought it inadvisable for him to
proceed there. The japanese authori-

objection to Mr.. Davidson's going to
Antung at once.
