Not long ago Senator Hoar told an
incident of his legal practice in con
nection with his remarks about the
dangerous condition of the old gov
eminent printing Office, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. Il am reminded said
he. ''of something that happened in the
supreme court Of our state some years
ago They held court at Northampton
and went over to Mount Holyoke,
where there Is an elevator which takes
travellers up the side Of a steep rock
100 or 200 feet to avoid the diff
Guilty Of climbing. The judges, as
judges are apt to be, were nearly all
of them rather corpulent men. Six or
seven got into the elevator at once.
They saw that the rope that held the
car in which they went was very much
frayed, and they asked the manager il
he did not think it was little unsafe
Yes, the manager said, it is wholly
unsafe and likely to break every min
ute, but we are going to have a new
one next Monday"

Senator HOar met a friend on the
street In Washington one day who
stopped to inform him that d very dear
friend was seriously i'll with appendi-
cltis. says the Washington Post. Sena-
tor Hoar was very solicitous and de-
termined to write note Of sympathy
at once He had hardly finished the
note before word came to him that his
friend was i'll with acute indigestion In
stead OF appendicitis. Senator Hoar
tore up the first note and sent the fol-
lowing In its place:
Dear Al am very sorry to hear that
you are III. but am glad that the trouble
Is with the table Of contents rather than
with the appendix.

There was a cargo Of unlmportant

one day wheQ senator HoaE cane out
Of his committee room just as the ele-

is the signal that senator wants to
ride and which supersedes the desires
Of all others who have no privileges Of

A Well
Developed
Form

A good set of muscles Is one of the
most excellent qualifications which any
person can possess. There is no posi-
ton in life for which they unfit one, and
there is none which they will not enable
one TO fill to better advantage than he
otherwise could do. There are "a thous-
and and one emergencies in life in which
strong, vigorous, and well-trained mus
cles are of enormous service, and in
which their use may be of incalcuab1e
value. Proper physical culture gives,
not only increased physical strength, but
greater dexterity, suppleness, and grace
of movement. The person who walks
with a shutting, swaying. and awkward
gait, does so, not on account of AM
original defect in his physical makeup,
but through the weakness of certain
muscles which, by disuse, have become
unable to do their part in the act of
walking, and so render him unable to
perform it in IAN easy and graceful man
ner. The trained gynnast exhibits
lightness and elasticity of movement i'm
possible to an individual who has not
had the benefit of physical training at

Russia. Japan.

The apparent disparity is greatly
lessened when we remember that Rus
STA is obliged to maintain fleets or
fiotillas in the Baltic, the Black Sea,
and even in the Caspian, which would
be of no use in the Far East. Almost
the whole available fleet, after provid-
ing for a necessary minimum in the
Baltic and the Black Sea, is now in
Chinese waters.
Japan, on the other hand, has no
distractions to prevent the use of her
whole fleet, and close at hand has album
dance of ports for. coaling and repairs
while she builds her own protected
cruisers and destroyers. Her navy in
cludes many exceedingly swift boats.
and is well calculated for a campaign
in her own waters
Neither the London Times nor The s..
James's Gazette takes any stock in the
theory that Russia could not reinforce
her fleet in the Far East materially.
The former daily points out that Russia
is now sending three great battIeships
TO Pacific waters. Nevertheless. thinks

Russia has adopted in the Far East a
device long brought to perfection by
managers of comic-opera companies
This consists in keeping the same sol
| diers moving constantly on and off the
stage of operations with the object OF
giving the unsophisticated spectator a
false idea of multitude. Japan alone, =
1 observes the London organ, lis not de-
ceived." She is well aware that the
trainloads of troops dashing back and
II forth over the great Siberian line are
i performances as theatrical as a mobil-
ization of the late Edwin Booths regi-
/ ments for the naneuvers in Richard
/ III" Only the Russian navy need enter
seriously into the immediate calcula-
lions of the Japanese, and the London
| News presents this aspect of the case
as follows:
| Presenting, therefore, that a naval
campaign would be the first Develop
| nient, it is easy to see how it would be-
gin. Japan would not attempt to de-
stroy the Russian fleet in the vicinity
of Port Arthur. Her splendid homo
geneous fleet, with its admirable back
ing of minor craft, is not designed for
such an adventure. It's coaling Sapacity
is intended rather for swift movement
close to an assured base than for long
journeys at sea. Russia would have to
strike the naval blow to prevent the oc-
cupation of Korea by her opponent.
Against such an attack Japan pos
sesses immense natural advantages.
Her great semicfrcle of lands form a
fender surrounding Vladivostok and the
Russian territory north of Korea. On
the north the enclosed space is COM
pletely shut in during the winter
q
entered by the Korean Straits, domi- |
mated by the central island of Tsu Shi- |
ma, which is strongly fortified by Ja- |
pan, and is sort of Gibraltar of the |
East, with the forts of F'usan on the |
Korean shore and the japanese naval |
base of Sasebof and the unlimited coal |
supply of Nagasaki on the opposite side. |
Thus within the Japanese Sea Japan |!
would be supreme SO long as she had /
any fleet remaining.
.'Nagasaki would be the key of the I
situation, and there Russia would have
to deliver her blow. It is between six
and seven hundred miles from Port Ar
thur, and without beating Japan mere
and securing a coal supply the Russian
fleet could not hope to round Japan
and attack Tokyo and the farther side
flthe island, fifteen hundred miles from
its base.
Fighting the enemy on its own
ground, amid the immense natural har-
bors and fortified islands west, of Kiu-
shiu, the Japanese fleet would have ev-
cry advantage in the struggle"
It may be asserted with confidence,
therefore, thinks this daily, that "a
naval battle on a gigantic scale would
arise" and "a comparison of
he navies of the two countries becomes
important" On paper such COMPARE
son is certainly to the advantage of St.
as our London contempora-
y admits. 1t presents the subject thus:
The total number of officers and men
n the Russian fleet is about $4,000, and ,
n that of Japan rather over $4,000 The ,
built or building are as fol-
