toward Port Arthur, but exerted them
selves to keep the harbor open. At
Sebastopol the Russians kept the line
of retreat open to the last; at Port
Arthur the line of retreat and supply
from the land side was cut Off at
once.
At Sebastopol the besieglng army
was not strong enough to make COM
plete investment and for part of the
time was so weak us to be on the de-
fensive. At Port Arthur the besieging
army outnumbered the besieged army
almost four to one. AT Sebastopol the
allies had 80 heavy guns of the old
type. At Port Arthur the Japanese
had hundreds of the heaviest and fin
est of modern guns.
At Sebastopol the allied army was
soon worn to shadow by arduous
duty, exposure, and pestilence. At Port
Arthur the Japanese army was fresh,
well disciplined, well equipped, and is
heartily supported by an aggressive
and energetic government. Port Ar
thur was undoubtedly stronger than
was Sebastopol. 1t was fairly well pro-
visioned and with an army we'll or
ganized for defense, but never before
was any fortress attacked by such an
overwhelming force as the Japanese
hurled against the Russian strong
hold.

ried the Malakhov and that night the
Russians retired from South Sebasto-
pol to the north forts. where they re-
manned to the end of the war.
The original besieging force at Sc
bastopol was 65,OOO men. with 80 guns.
The Russian army in the Notifications
was 10000 strong, with the way for re-
enforcement and supplies open. The
theAter of the Crimean war was lin
tied mainly to the vicinity Of Sebasto-
pol, and the besiegers were more sore
ly pressed by the privations of war
than the besieged. OF the English
army $500 were killed or fatally
wounded in battle; 4,244 died of chol-
era; 10000 died of other diseases, and
2,s78 were disabled. The French lost
in the campaign Gs,50O men, and the

The siege of Port Arthur has been
compared, in nearly every cable dis
patch that came from London, to the
siege of Sebustopol There Is. how
ever, no close analogy between the
two.
At sebastopol the siege began Oct.
~, 1854, with an assault which was re-
pulsed. During the winter that fol-
lowed the Russians were MS often the
Attacking party as the English and
French. The besieglng force was so
depleted by losses in battle and by
sickness that Lord Raglan regarded
the Investment as quasi siege. Rus
sian sorties were frequent, and al
though they were repulsed they ex-
hausted the besiegers.
The grand assault of the allies on
Malakhov tower and the Redan, June
Is. 1856, failed. The sorties Of the
Russians two months later was re-
pulsed. The English assault on the

A Japanese Trust Fund.

The testimony Of Japanese writer
in the Atlantic Monthly, that one rea-
son for Japanese success is the devo-
ton of the people to memories of their
ancestors, is borne out by an independ-
ent story which comes by way of the
London Times.
Three hundred years ago one Of the
Tokugnwa clan received from his faith
err the province Of Dwarf. and a num-
Der of little statues of horses cast in
gold, with direction to preserve them
until some national emergency arose.
Although feudalism fell In 1874. and
the house Of Dwarf became quite poor,
Its successive heads strictly obeyed the
Injunction of their ancestor until a
short time ago.
Then the family, believing that ma
tional emergency had arisen, trans
ferred the secret hoard. amounting to
half million dollars of American
money, to the national treasury, and
afterward publicly informed the spirit
of their ancestor that the trust had
been faithfully performed.

The picture represents scene which
is by no means uncommon in Japanese
cities. During the construction of the
elevated railway ut Toxic a great num-
Der of women were employed in carry
ing bricks and mortar to the masons
on the walls. The women themselves
did not look upon the service us either
degrading or extra laborlous, and there
were more applicants for the work
than could be taken. 1t has probably
never occurred to the Japanese woman
of the poorer classes that she is in

work than is her husband of perform
