His Record as an Officer.
After graduation Uriu spent two
years in Europe. He returned to ia
pan and was lieutenant in the ia
panese naval college at Toxic. In 1885
he was ordered to his ship in Korea.
In 1883 he was attached to the gen.
eral staff, and detailed to the great
dockyard at YokOsuka. as second in
command. From 1893 to 1897 he was
naval attache to the Japanese lega-
ton at Paris. Upon his return to ia
pan he commanded the cruiser Akit-
sushima. While he was commanding
the armored cruiser Fooso in 1898 it
sunk in collision. The cruiser after
ward was floated. but Uriu was court
martialed.
In 1900 Uriu commanded, as a rear
admiral, the battleship Yashima. the
flagship of the fleet. This is proof that
the loss of the Fooso did not seriously
affect his promotion or reputation.
At the beginning of the present war
Uriu was made second in command of
| the Japanese feet and sailed from the
port Sasebo on the night of February
S. 1904. Uriu, with the cruiser divis-
| ion, left the main fleet, which was on
it's way to Port Arthur. and steamed
direct for Chemulpo harbor. where the
Russian cruiser Variag and the gun
boat Korietz were at anchor. The two
Russian ships tried to escape. but
were SO badly damaged that they re-
turned to harbor and were sunk.
Commands the Scouts.
Uriu's name figures but little in the
reports of the naval campaign of Port
Arthur, because it is Japanese policy
to suppress the names of all of its
commanding officers on land and sea.
1t is known, however. that since the
appearance of the Russian fleet in the
far eastern waters Uriu commanded
the cruisers engaged in scouting ser
vice.
Rear Admiral Kamimura's fame as
naval commander stands second on

 Miss Alderman lives at Apollo, Pa, near Pittsburg. She began life as a young lady of means win taste for travel. also taste for Humanitarian
 work. In her life she has happily been able to blend the two fancies Her first mingled mission of travel and philan- thropic work was undertaken at the in- stance of the Woman's Christian Tenn perance Union, when Frances Willard was president of that organization. Miss Willard selected Jessie Alderman to go around the world as temperance missionary to foreign countries This was in 1888.
 From land to land she went, travelling alone, young American lady. all oyer the world. She presented her creden- tials to the ruler of every nation within whose borders she sought to preach temperance. Such a book as the story of her experiences, humorous and oth- erwise, would make! She usually spoke through an interpreter, conforming her self as we'll as she could to the customs and prejudices of the land in which she found herself. In China she was told that her mission there would be more successful if she adopted the China wo- mans dress. This she did and found the one feminine costume which has been in fashion 1000 years without a change so comfortable and convenient that in the privacy of her own apart ment she has worn it ever since. Her crusade among Empress Tsi Ans sub jects was directed specially against the opium habit. The Chinese, however
 did not have much use for a foreign devil" of any kind, even one who want
 ed to reform them. They did not think
 they needed reforming. Japan she found very different. The Japs had had their great awakening and eagerly de- sired to learn of any plan that promised improvement on their own ways. They listened to her most courteously and kindly, welcoming her hospitably.
 The king of Siam told her she could not do any good among his people be- cause there were no drunkards among the Siamese. Their religion, Buddhism forbade them to drink intoxicating H. uuors.

 The end of the Russo-Japanese war will not mean peace for Russia. It may be only a few months before the Cxar is engaged in another struggle Rs gigantic and desperate as the one he has waged in the Far East-a struggle that military critics say will be fully as hopeless as the clash with the Milxado.
 While the world has been lost in the absorbing interest of the fighting in Manchuria and the Sea of Japan. and while Russia has been taking whip pings day after day, the Czar has been engaged stealthily in preparing for his next appeal to the gods of war. Not nll Russia's strength has been wasted on the plains of Mukden or around Port Arthur. She has poured her sol- diers by hundreds of thousands into Deaths great hopper in Manchuria. She has sent so many to fight the Mi- kado's men that her own critics have volt. Yet she has managed to send 200 900 of her best soldiers to line the northern frontier Of Afghanistan..
 So unobtrusively has Russia worked out her plans of past centuries to seize Afghanistan and India that the world has not known how nearly she has come to that point where she can strike to humble England's pride and realize her own ambitions. Across the barren plains and sandy steppes of Russian Turkestan and Bokhara, the people of the Czar have built great railroads--railroads that could have no commercial support, They were built for one reason--to carry the CZar's army to the very boundary line of India.
 Mile by mile the foadways have kA. vIa until they have pierced the northern frontier of Afghanistan. Now they threaten to go through the thick buffer that the country of the Ameer offers between Russia and India. So close is Russia's military railroad to the nortf of India that Prime Minister Balfoui has warned the Czar to go no farther Thus far, and no farther, was the gis of the speech that is still stirring Flu rope and the whole world.

ONLY A TRIVIAL ERROR.

Unjust to Mere MiscaIculatiOn a Mis-
 In the course of long and eventful life Martin Boggs had never been known to admit that any of the iail- ures which had besprinkled his career had resulted from a mistake on his part, relates The Youths Companion.
 If his potatoes did not turn out well in the new place he had chosen for them in the face of advice, it was ''be- cause he had planted them there as a warning to his son, who had a notion to try experiments" If his children had scarlet fever because he had failed to take his wife's wishes into consid-
 eratton in regard to a visit to an in
 fected house, -''he wished them to have 1t, and get over with 1t. although he
 hadn't thought best to say so."
 If an investment turned out badly
 he had just put the money in to en- courage the company. although he
 knew 1t was no use," and if a barrel Of eating apples turned out sour cider he had bought them to make Into elder.
 When he opened the cellar door of a neighbor's house one night under the impression that 1t was the one which | led to another room, and then stepped off into space and landed on the cel- lar bottom. 1t really seemed as if, Tor once, he would have to own mistake. When it was ascertained beyond some bad bruises and one or two easily remedied discolorations Martin was safe and sound, one of his old friends ventured Q little mild banter.
 Seems as if, for once in your life, you did make a mistake, Martin" said the courageous person; but MT. Boggs turned a bandaged and reproachtul countenance toward him.
 Tt isn't what I expected of you, Ezry," he said. mildly, "to call a little

In Iceland she travelled 800 miles on horseback and on one occasion had bed made for her in stable be- cause among the short statured Ice. flanders no bed could be found long enough for her tall frame. At Allaha- bad Miss Alderman saw the Moham- medans on their knees praying for Queen Victoria in her last Illness.
 After a number of years spent in the temperance cause Jessie Alderman started to journey about the earth on the mission of the brotherhod of na- tions. Shet carried with her to the va- rious countries a message from the American branch of the Universal Peace union. It was indorsed by Secretary of State Hay She has presented peace flags to King Edward, to the emperor of Germany, to President Loubet and to Czar Nicholas, all of whom received her kindly and bade her godspeed on her mission of good will.
