TRAINED JAP swoRDsMEp.
Revival Of the samurai Tradition in
the War with Russian
Forces

Japan has taken a. leaf from its own
romantic past in sending specially
trained bodies of sworGsmen," led by
sanaurai chieftains, into the Russian
forts at Port Arthur, says the New York
Mail. Of old the soldiers duty was en-
tirely committed in Japan as once in
India. to a warrior caste, and its gen
erals led their men to the fight sword IN
hand. Now the general stays back in a
safe place. directing affairs from kind
of Office where telegraph instruments
and typeWriters click and telephone
bells ring. But the siege of Port Arthur
has given an opportunity to revive some
thing of the Samurai tradition in con-
junction with other measures which are
as modern as telephones and typewrit-
ers
Machinery and the latest things in
civil engineering have enabled the Jap
ense to dig their way in close to the Port
Arthur works. Now for rush. The
Russians are few and weakened. Bay
onets coming over the parapets must
be a serious matter. But for encoun-
tiers so close that firearms cannot be
used-so close that the revolver becomes
better weapon used as club than as a
frearm-a stout and sharp sword may
be more serviceable than bayonet at
the end of a rife.
The bayonet is after all only a sword
c1umsily placed at the end of musket.
It has always been more or less an aWk-
ward implement The English lost the
battle of Killiecrankie because the
Scotch rushed on their men with their
claymores before the Englishmen could
get their bayonets fixed. Here at Port
Arthur the Japanese are seeking the adj
vantage which the claymore gave the
Scotch; but they will not catch the Rus
slams with unfxed bayonets, for the rea-
son that the Russians bayonets are
permanently joined to their rifles.
Russian troops are thoroughly trained
in the use Of the bayonet, but it is easy
to see that a rank of advancing japanese
sWordsmen. fresh and eager for the
fray, eroWding them so closely that the
Russians long rifle-pfkes were of NO
avail. would put the defenders of Port
| Arthur at a disadvantage. Presumably
| these sWordsmen also carry revolvers.
If these weapons are strictly up-to-date,
the fighting now at Port Arthur may be
| a ming1ing of ancient and modern meth
DDS Of the most picturesque and signif-
| cant sort.

What the Hand symbelizes.

Look where we will, we find the hand
In time and history, working, building,
Invent5ng, bringing civilization out Of
barbarism. The hand symbolizes power
and the excellence Of work. The me
chanic's hand, that minister of elemen-
tai forces, the hand that hews, saws, cuts,
builds. is useful in the world equally
with the delicate hand that paints will
flower or molds Grecian urn, or the
hand of statesman that writes a law.
The eye cannot say to the hand: "Ihave
no need of thee" Blessed be the hand!
Thrice blessed be the hands that work.

Italians on Southern Farms.

Italians are industrious and thrifty
and are as rule excellent farmers,
market gardeners and tradesmen. In
the parts of the south where the Ital-
ians have settled they have achieved
a decided success as truck growers and
in other employments, and their con-
dition in comparison with many of
their compatriots who have remained
in the great cities as day laborers
under the guidance of the exacting
padrones is striking. # this work can
be done on q large scale for all classes
and races Of immigrants the gain for
the country will be tremendous. The
congestion IN the cities will be re
lieved, the slums clrtailed, many bur
dens lifted from the charities, the
criminal class reduced and the jail

REVIvING THEIR LANGUAGE
Matchmaking Work Of Gaelic League
Includes Return to the
Old Tongue.

In a study of contemporary conditions
in Ireland Seumas MacManus shows that
the irish are returning to their native
tongue, says the Worlds Work. The
Gaelic league has not only arrested the
decay of the language, but it has made
startling progress in restoring it. 1t
has fought and overcome the hostile ma
suit that 5000 of the national schools
are teaching the language to-day to 49,
900 pupils, as against few schools that
taught it to 313 pupils IS years ago. In
addition to this, Gaelic is taught to about
100000 others in the remaining primary
schools, night schools, intermediate
schools and colleges. The big CONNER
cial concerns are finding it to their adj
vantage to keep Irish-speaking, en-
ployes, who can attend customers that
insist on giving their orders, whether
spoken or written, IN Gaelic. The rail-
ways, the banks and the post Office, after
struggling sorely against the crusade,
very soon required knowledge of the
nguage-both spoken and literary
from all candidates for clerkships.
It is a pity for ireland that more of
her girls do not return. Emigration is
the greatest evil that Ireland Iabors un-
der to-day. The country is being de-
pleted by this drain, which, for $50
years, has not once ceased flowing and
which has been running with fearful
fapidity during the last so years. The
government returns show that in the
last 53 years 100000 Irish people emil
grated. During the 40, for which we
haven record and especially during the
famine years. the outflow in coffin ships
of famine-driVen, feFer-stricken. fugi-
uves-tens of thousands of whose whit
ening bones on the sea floor still link
Ireland to America by terrible chain
was tremendous.
The census returns for the decade
1S41-51 show that ireland had a net loss
in those ten years of 10000 people, OF
one-ffth of its population. In 1S41 Ire
land had a population of $500. 600; in
1901 the population. which at the nat
uraI rate of Irish increase, should have
been more than 100000. had fallen te
| 4,460,000! In 81 years Ireland has sent
out more emigrants than there are peo-
pie in the island to-day. Now the birth
rate is decreasing, because the per
centage of unmarried adults has been
| increasing and because the average
marrying age has been growing higher
| So the people, who at one time were pro
verbally prolific, will soon have los
that character. AS the great birth rate
which tended to moderate the effects Of
emigration, lessons, the emigration evi
year by year assumes a more and more
| alarming aspect.

Dan gerous Fare

For all those who fear appendicitis
and are willing to do anything which
will keep them immune from disease,
Sir Frederick Treyes has prepared a
list of eatables which cannot be taken
with safety. Foremost on the list is
preserved ginger, that deadliest of
sweetmeats, but pineapple either fresh
or preserved, is equally dangerous.
Oranges. figs and raspberries should
never be INDUCED in. To limit still
further our diet, there are number
of things which may not be eaten by
those who fear typhoid fever. The
oyster has led to suspicion of all other
shellfish, not only Holsters and crabs,
but even shrimps and praWns. Smells
and whitehall are now regarded with
awe rather than admiration ON menu.

powers of a governor of state.
The Chickasaw government IS sep-

is divided into counties and each has Us

Martin Y. B. Cheadle. president of the

gressives and the nationals. The pro-
gressives oppose the policy of the gov

the sale of all tribal property. including
surplus lands to the government, and
the division OF the proceeds among the
Indian citizens. When asked if most OF
