THE JAPANESE SPIRIT.

The spirit that animates the Japanese is illustrated in very striking man ner by the reports of various native re- lief work committees which have reach ed Europe. One of these says: we have to mention the Secret Ploughing Society of the young men of Nakagawa village. Gunma County, Gunma Pretec- ture, Either at night or when nobody knows, these young men go out and though for those who are away at the front the farms which lie unploughed and unsowed on account of their cul- tivators' absence, and thus help the labor of their families left behind. In Meiji village of the same county ill the same prefecture, and also in Ashikaga town. Ashikaga County, Tochiki Pre- lecture, tillage was helped and agricul- tural work was satisfactorily accom- plished. In Kuze County, Kyoto Pre- lecture, the school children helped in the tillage of the farms of those who are at the front, after their school was over." Another report says: Tn Shiro- higashi village, Yost County, Kioto Pre- lecture, new building was put up for raising silkworms in memory of the present war, and young silkworms, after the third stage of their growth, are given out to every household in the village. In Toyama Prefecture the com- qnittees whose business is to encourage industries are placed in every towE and village, a1fd the methods of plough ing and manuring are carefully taught so as to leave no benefit left unreaped. In Mic, Fukushima, and Tokushima Prefectures, places for instructing the manufacture of tape have been newly established or increased, in order to encourage the same manufacture" Here is another extract: "The village master of Minato village, Sanbu Coun- ty, Chiba Prefecture, accidentally heard on his way to Tokio that there had been very few Of his villagers who subscribed for the national loan bonds above par. and deeply impressed and very regretful he threw away tke railroad ticket whic!l he had bought and hastened home to his native village, where he preached the importance of public service at this critical time, and finally succeeded in peisuadinG the whole village to subscribe for the bonds above par''

completion are all in Russian ship yards. otherwise they could not be en- ployed in the present war. They were laid down in the spring of 1903. and for the past year work on them has progressed night and day. Three shifts of men have been employed. and it is likely that the record for speed in the building of battleships will be broken by the performance on these crafts
 Two of the four battleships are of the largest tonnage of modern vessels of this year-16.630, They are names the Andrel Pervozvanna and the Pavel I. They are sister ships, and are being built at the Baltic works, which is a government yard for all practical pur- poses. Each ship will have a speed of IS knots. The batteries will consist of F, and inch rifles. The cost of each ship will be s5,5OO,9OO.
 The other two battleships are sister vessels, also but are of considerably less tonnage than those of the Pavel I. class. They will have a displacement equal to 12,733 tons, and will have q speed Of IS knots an hour. Their names are the Evstaf, which is building at Nicolareff, and the Ioann Zlatoush, which is building at Sebastopol. In addition to these four battleships Rus sia has an armored cruiser. the Vitiaz. on the stocks at St Petersburg. The Vitiaz is to be a speedy vessel, being designed to develop 2S knots an hour. She has a displacement equal to 6,375 tons. This vessel should have been completed several years ago, for she was laid down in 1900. She caught fire and burned on her slip, but is now being pushed toward completion.
 If the war continues, not long after this new Russian fleet is seen by the Japanese navy there will be no new Russian fleet.

WHY f WAITER W4ITS.

Most people have supposed that walters take tips because they want and need them. A waiter writes to the New York Times to add few words to the revival of the talk about the tipping evil caused by the letter of Hopkinson Smith, who defended the custom. This waiter tells why he takes tips, and he sets forth again plainly the reason for it all. He gets a salary of $4 a week for fourteen hours of work each day, and is told that, while the pay is small, he can get plen- ty of good tips. This condition, as is well known, exists everywhere and has existed for many years, but what seems to be a new development is that the waiter has to pay the agent who gets him a job, and then after he is put to work has to pay money to the head waiter, the chief cook, the silver clean CT and others in order to keep his place. If he does not do this he will be discharged on some pretext before the week is out.
 This waiter says that he and others would prefer fair salary of S7 week and a percentage of the sales. The ho- teIs and restaurants will never do this, however. As long as they can make their patrons pay their walters they Twill never pay them themselves.

THE PEACE TALk.

Gentlemen are crying peace. peace again. and this time it really looks as if there might be something in the cry Evidence accumulates that President Roosevelt's efforts in behalf of peace have been supported by practically every European Power, by the trans mission, through their representatives at the belligerents respective capitals, that it is the solemn conviction of their respective governments that the time has arrived for the warning countries to conclude peace. The Presidents en- deavors seem limited to bringing the plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan together to arrange the preliminary terms for the conclusion of a limited armistice. and the selection of a place for the future negotiations; and the plenipotentiaries ill the opinion of the diplomats, will make the next move as it is not believed that Japan will di- vulge her terms until the pIenipotentia- ries meet.
 So far, so good. Farther in the same direction. better. Of course Russia is still proud. but she has seen her pride go before such falls that it seems as if she ought to be able to restrain it now and act sensibly.

THE DEPARTURE OF THE spRtTE

 Red Fox.)

"I'll give you hundred dollars for that fox
 The speaker was a rather loudly dressed individual who sat in a high power touring car by the side of New Hampshire country road. The remark was addressed to me, as I lay leaning on my elbow, on the shady border of a spruce forest, and it pertained to my handsome red fox, "rhe Sprite, |" which stood just behind me with his muzzle thrust under my arm, watching the speaker with an intense look of suspicion in his yellow eyes. looked down at his fine little face, and said, with a smile:
 "Well, Cootsy, what do you say? Will you go with him?"
 At the sound of my voice, the great white-tipped brush waved back and forth a time or two, but he kept his eyes riveted on the occupants of the touring car.
 Now, you know "The Sprite.' Of course, everybody knows ''The Sprite''

This was the animal for which was offered q "cool hun dred," which I will admit is very good figure for a fox, considering that the market price is five. Yet, solne- how, l felt no elation, and laughing, I said to the would-be purchaser, "I

 "Too low? What do you mean? How much do you want for him?'
 Then I tried to explain to this man that ''Tke Sprite" was my friend; that iln would allow no other man on earth to lay hand on him; that if he were confined in a strange place no words could picture his utter misery, and that his brave little heart would pound it. self almost to pieces until it was St:lled for ever. But was wasting my time. for this man could not under stand. I might as easily have con- vinced his touring car. He wanted to buy the fox, arc, as he had the money, why should he not do it? At last got rather tired of his persistence, and told him plainly that if he were to sell his last shirt, he wouldn't have money enough to buy the top of the foX's brush. I'm glad you didn't hear what he said, but wish that you could have seen that automobile leap forward and shoot down the road. It startled 'The Sprite' so that he jumped into the woods and refused to come out until the buzz of the machine had died away.
 For months I had planned to give 'Tha Sprite" his liberty. He was SC destructive to poultry that was ob- liged to keep him caged most of the time. but I thought that if carried him some miles away from dwelling and turned him loose, he would get a
