HOW JAP SOLDIERS DRILL,
Amusing Transitions of Western
Military Commands That
Are in Use.

John Dunlap, missionary of the
Presbyterian board at Fukui, Japan,
writes of the Japanese soldiers: I'VE
find some amusement in noticing the
strange translations OF western mill
tary commands. 'Dress!' for exam
pie, becomes Heels in line!' and Rise,
double! is Rise, running feet!' 1t is
interesting, too, to see the struggles
of a language that is anything but
crisp and brusque, to adapt itself to
military uses. The imperative is little
heard in Japan off the drill ground.
There, it is not only used, but used
in manner that does violence to
Japanese etymology, the verb being put
before the noun, as in English
Shoulder arms!' Pile arms!'-but d.
rectly contrary to Japanese usage, and
a third word in such sentences, de-
noting the objective case, being
dropped altogether
'Privates are divided into three
classes, according to efficiency, but
even the highest class receive less
than ten cents a day on the field.
Take look at the men as they en-
train. After hard training and strict
selection they look fit and hard as

especially are. big, thick-c hested,
heavy-limbed fellows, who, man for
man, could hold their own anywhere.
Japanese officers are businesslike,
serious looking lot of men. No diet
tamil among them. No aristocrats-
except those who are soldiers first and
aristocrats afterward. No rich mems
sons who are officers because they do
not know anything else to do with
themselves. Every Japanese officer is
a scientific soldier and it is no draw
back here, as it is in some armies, to
be scientific. The more scientific the

rion Butler, of North, Carolina; Gen.
Matt Butler, of South Carolina; Will

Chandler is head of the Spanish claims

1t is of advantage to all parties in

can make a move but what his oppo-
nents hear of it and discuss it with
their friends. There is just a little
jealousy at present among other aspi-
rants over the prominence that Secre-
tary of War Taft has been given in
public affairs. Mr.. Taft created some
what of a sensation when he an
nounced the policy of the Panama ca
nal commission regarding the purchase
of supplies in the open market.
Taft thinks he has made a ten
strike by that move" remarked an
other prominent man who is quietly
seeking the nomination, 1--WE will see
whether it pans OUT Each of the
candidates is seeking an issue. There
is some anxiety therefore felt as to
how popular Mr.. Taft's policy will be
with the people. Opposed to this idea
of the government securing canal
material in the cheapest markets will
be the policy of Secretary Shaw, who is
likely to appear before the public as a
1tStandpatter" candidate He will in
all probability leave the cabinet next
February and inaugurate his cam

Vice President Fairbanks is a candi-
date and using all legitimate methods
to advance his interests. He is the
apostle of conservatism and is also
closely watching the effect OF Secretary
Taft's rather radical declaration. Sen

the movement, in so far as it relates
to Minnesota, among Cinnamon, who,
it is said, are being drilled and armed
for service in the Chinese army under
the direction of Kang Yu Wei, former

Complaints that ChtnanIen~ are being
drilled in violation of law were filed
with the governor by resident of st.

complainant says that Cinnamon are

attorneys before the departments and
congress. He has altered very little in
appearance since he left congress IA
years ago. He is giant in stature,
with we'll filled out frame, is slow
and deliberate in his movements and
still capable of hard work.
Mr. Blair wound up his COMPRESSION
al career with the reputation of being
an interminable talker, because of his
celebrated education bill, which he ad-
vocated in season and out of season
during the Fiftieth and Fifty-first con-
gress. This was measure to which
he had given the best thought of his
life and which contained great princi-
pies, but to which it was difficult to at
tract attention and about which it was
next to impossible to arouse enthusi-
asm. Its main object was the better
ment of conditions in the south in an
educational way and it aimed to put
the negro on higher footing as re-
CARDS education. Mr.. Blair believed
that in educating the negro the great
southern problem would be solved. He
occupied the floor of the senate for
days and days and week after week in
discussing his measure, but it never
reached vote.
In his service in the senate Mr.. Blair
demonstrated that he was a debater of
unusual ability on all questions and
there were few Of the members Of
that body who cared to arouse him or
oppose him in an extemporaneous de-
bate. When he went out of the senate
he was poor man and has worked
hard ever since. He practices before
the departments and is willing to take
any honorable piece of work that will
bring him commission Not long ago
he acted as agent for a certain make
of pen which he succeeded in introduce
ing in some of the departments. To
many of his old colleagues it was rath-
err pathetic sight to see this once able
debater in the senate selling pens to
the government.

!: FEW SWEDISH ! CAFES. :.
These People in New York City Are
Widely Scattered and Are +.
- Home-Loying. =

Few Swedish restaurants flourish in
New York. The many. thousand
SWedes in the city are widely scat
tered in little colonies throughout all
the boroughs, and few of these little
groups are able to support restau-
rant devoted especially to their native
cooking, says the Sun.
Brooklyn has long had a consider
able Swedish population, and the best
known and most distinctive Swedish
restaurant is in that borough. Else
where there are Swedes who keep res
taurants, and some of these serve on
occasion characteristic Swedish dishes,
but they find it necessary to conform
to ordinary public demands in the
matter of cooking: One Swede who
mas restaurant centrally situated in
Manhattan entertains many of his fel-
low countrymen, but serves for the
most part just such dishes as one gets
; in hundred other restaurants all over
town.
One reason why it is difficult to keep
distinctively Swedish restaurants go-
ing in New York is that the Swedas
are domestic in their habits. Many
who have not homes of their own are
servants in the homes of others.
An article that is characteristic OF
the true Swedish restaurants is "a fruit
soup, usually thickened with corn
starch. A PURGE of apples or of pears
sounds little odd, but such purees
there are; also a puree of prunes
These fruit soups are served cold, and
oftener in summer than in winter.
Even persons not accustomed to
Swedish cooking profess to like the
fruit soups.
In the matter of meats and vege-
tables the Swedish restaurants are
much like others. There is among
SWedes of wealth a somewhat extrava-
CANT tradition as to the table, but most
Swedish immigrants bring with them
different tradition, and the Swedish
restaurants in New York do not re-
fleet the luxury of Stockholm. Des-
serts, however, are of many kinds. and
rice is much used in making buildings.
AS might be expected, only a few
fruits are much used in Swedish cook
ing. The banana is usually curiosity
to the Swedish immigrant; he rarely
sees it at home.
One berry is largely imported into
this country from Sweden-the lingon,
sometimes called the Swedish cram
berry. 1t grows upon upland on a
bush and in great quantities. rhe
berry somewhat resembles our cram
berry in color, but is much smaller.
These berries are cooked and bar
relied in their own juice for exporta-
ton. Here they are. sold in glass jars
by Swedish grocers and are much used
in the Swedish restaurants and by
Swedish families. They are served as
a sauce with meats and sometimes
preserved pears are mingled with
them. The Swedes prefer the sharp
tart Of the lingon to the flavor OF the
cranberry. There are no native Swed
ish wines.

lieves that it will be conducive to a
better feeling between the actions
The change in sentiment in tho south
towards Mr.. Roosevelt has been mar
velous in the last few months and a
great deal of it has been due to his
personal contact with the people of
that section.
Mr.. Roosevelts many trips through
out the country have taken him into ev-
cry state and territory of the union,
with the exception of Florida. Arkan-
sas, Alabama and louisiana In his COM
ing southern tour he hopes to visit these
states and become acquainted with
their citizens. Probably none of his
predecessors was ever so thoroughly
acquainted with the different sections
of the country, the characteristics of
tiher people, their industries and their
needs. He wants to complete his
knowledge of the whole country and it
is safe to say that his trip next Octo-
Der will be as successful and interest
ing as those he has already made.
The southern tour will also serve the
president to arouse general interest in
subjects which he will bring to the
attention of congress when he calls it
in extra session on October 10. During
the summer months interest in some of
these matters may languish, but it is
easy to imagine the speeches he will
make while on his tour that will but

garding railway rate legislation and
possibly the tariff.
