then he heard fall on the floor. over

by heavy moaning. as if some one

The Thrifty Japanese.

Japan has forty-seven postal savings
banks, in which, May 81 last, there
was 45S.995,645 yen (s229,479,S22) on
deposit, Since the war began these
deposits have increased by 5,3O2,5O4
yen ($2,651, 252), deposited by 543,2 64
persons. This vast deposit by the
general run Of Japan's population
would seem to explain the ease with
which each war loan is subscribed
many times over when it is offered
for home subscription. Between April
1903, and September, 1904, the mum
Der of depositors increased from
2.934,38S to 4,181 ,293. This is a prac.
teal demonstration of the proverbial
japanese thrift.

Soldiers Sing on the March.

Music, says the London Globe, has
always played great part in fighting
and Lord Wolseley declares that
troops that sing as they march will
not only reach their destination more
quickly, and in better fighting condi.
ton than those who march in silence
but inspired by the music and words
of national songs will feel that self
confidence which is the mother Of VIC
tory. In the japanese army it is the
custom for the soldiers to sing as
they go into battle and rush to the
charge. The practice was remarked
during the operations of the allied
Powers against Pekin. Their favorite
song is the KIM Gayo," or national
anthem, which has been Englished as
follows:
May our lords dominion last
Till a thousand years have passed
Twice four thousand time O'ertOld.
Firm as changeless rock, earth rooted,
Moss of ages uncomputed.
In the Russian army tests We're
made few years ago to find the value
of marching songs, and the results
so confirmed Lord Wolseleys dictum
that the regulations now decree that
regiments on march and in advancing
% charge shall sing national songs.
