VIZ
1t has passed from the caste that was
supposed to inclose it into the whole
people.
Formerly many Japanese officers
We're sent abroad to receive their train
ing. These men built up the present
organization of the Japanese army and
navy and established the various
schools and colleges which now dot the
empire. 1t is no longer necessary for
any soldier or sailor of the mikado to
leave his island home to learn his
trade
The daily life and social etiquette Of
the Japanese officer differ materially
from those of his American and Euro
pean brethren. No japanese would
dream OF slapping his brother officer
on the back. nor would he invade his
room unceremoniously. Hazing, too,
would be an impossible breach Of good
manners The social intercourse Of
japanese officers is regulated by 4
most ceremonious etiquette. Even the
cadets always address one another
with. formal politeness. s-----.~-'"-
But this is only on the surface. In
reality keen spirit of good fellowship
peryadea the force. 1t is regarded as
most dfsh6norable to seek for promo
ton at the expense Of brother officer,
even by methods deemed legitimate IN
other serv1ces-as, for example, by cul-
tivating social relations with the men
who dispense he4ors and rewards.>
Conscr1ption based Upon the Euro.
pekfl model vas introduced into Japan
by imperial edict in 1874: Althougb
tie population, With tAs exception Of
the samurai, had never been G5ed to
military service, it took to it with en-
thusiasln. There vas meyer any ob.
lection to conscription. The emperor
had ordered it, and that was enough
for anybody in the case. All male
Japanese between the ages OF seven
teen and forty are liable to military
service, but the active army is actually
levied from males at the age Of twenty.
The term of service is three years in
the army and four in the navy, after
which the men pass into the reserves.
Among the privates there Is much
competition to advance to the rank of
noncommissioned officers. The major
ity of the enlisted men are intelligent
and fairly well educated, but promo
ton from the ranks is not easily OBJ
tained, the standard Of qualifications
being high. Promotion to the COM
missioned ranks Is practically impos-
sible to the japanese private soldier.

Where the Romans Excelled.

The Romans were not in want of
teachers or of models. for they had
the Egyptians and the Greeks, but
they never succeeded in creating an
art characteristic of themselves. No
people perhaps ever betrayed less
originality in their productions in this
field, but they raised the other ele-
ments of civilization to the highest
point. Their military organization as
sured them the domination of the
world: their political and judicial insti
tutions are still patterns for us, and
their literature inspired the centuries
that followed them

Honor OF the Sword-The Cody II
Eirhter

The lighting man Of modern Japan is
apparently animated Ivy the same spir-
it of intense loyalty to the state that
Tor centuries made the salnurai of
feudal Nippon the safeguard of the
nation. In old Japan the samurai were
ever ready to sacrifice themselves for
country-in fact, it was their preroga-
tive and sacred right The sword was
the soul of the samurai, and his life
was consecrated to the maintenance Of
its honor
Although abolished with the fall Of
feudalism in 1865 the samurai still ex-
ert q potent influence In the affairs Of
Japan Nearly all the officers of the
army and navy are descendants of the
ancient warriors, and few who are not
of samurai blood have gained emf
nence in the nation. The samurai Of
old Japan despised trade and money
making as only fit for the base minded
and low born. Luxury was deemed
vain and effeminate and the samurai
lived simple, athletic lives. firm in the
helet that honor and arms were in

What Constitutes peauty.

Ask any one to explain why certain girl is regarded as pretty and see if you get a direct answer. Probably you will hear that ''she certainly is pretty, but really I don't know why, for she has not a good feature in her face, and, now I come to think of 1t, have seen prot tier complexions." She may have good figure, but that does not alone make q girl worth looking at twice, and cer- tainly does not gain her a reputation for prettiness.
 Now leave of questioning and sift the matter for yourself, and If you are wise you will learn useful lesson.
 Your pretty girl" you win find, is lTsl- maculately fresh and neat looking. Her hair looks well brushed. and is well and becomingly arranged; her dress is well chosen in color, and, however simple In style, it is thoroughly trim at the neck. and there Is never a suspicion of rags or untidiness about her skirt braid or her petticoat.
 The little things" of that girls toilet are not slurred over, and her hands and feet are as dainty as care can make them, for her innate refinement makes her abhor the dictum of the sloven that "all that matters in the general effect and little details are not worth bother ing about"
 Those little details just make all the difference between the well and badly, dressed girl, but attention to them is not enough to gain girl of average looks the reputation of being pretty. Look at her well and see if her irregular features do not form part of a bright and animated face that makes you feel glad when you look at it. Or maybe the face is sad, but then 1t is not the dull, mel ancholy of the stupid person, but you see that real grief is there, and you are interested and long to comfort.
 Ire attractive girl who without beauty is considered to possess it Is girl of culture and refinement, and the reason why ugly girls are less often met now than in former times Is owing to the superior education which maidens of to- day in every class of life enjoy.

THEE season of catching cold is upon
 A us. The cough and the sneeze and nasal twang are 10 be heard on every hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and dreadful of dis eases, is . cold.
 This is the way the chronic catarrh generally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs on longer thansusual. The cold generally starts in the head and throat. Then follows sensltiveness of the air passages which incline one to catch cold very easily. At last the per son has Q cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the nose, hawking, splitting, frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up, full feel ing in the head, and sore, ,infiamed throat.
 The best time to treat catarrh is ct the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop erly used never fails to cure a common cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
 While many people have been cured of chronic catarrh by . single bottle of Peruna, yet, as rule, when the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed more than one bottle is necessary to complete 6 cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer- able of catarrh of twenty years' stand ing. 1t is the best, if not the only inter nal remedy for chronic catarrh in ex- istences
 But prevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slightest symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year and thus pre- vent what is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh.

The panic in the produce exchange, re- produced in the fourth act of ''The Pit" in which Wilton Lackaye is acting at the Lyric Theater. is declared to be the greatest mob scene ever shown in New York. Telegraph operators straining over |their instruments, messenger boys run ming about, spectators in a gallery and great crowd of screaming fighting bro- kers, traders and clerks make up the en- semble. Two hundred and fifty people appear in the panic. which is revealed for only three minutes and was staged by William A. Brady, now more than
