.Japan's Pensions.

According to a statement made by
Baron Takahashi, before sailing from
New York last week, the japanese Gov
ernment proposes to recognize the SER
vice of its soldiers and sailors in a most
marked manner. Japan already has 4
pension system which provides for the
disabled and for the widows and or
phans, but it is proposed to go much
farther. The proposition is to distrib-
ute bonus in addition to the regular
pensions of $75, 900, 900 in bonds to the
soldiers and sailors who took part in
the war with Russia. Both officers and
men are to share in the distribution,
partly in accordance with rank and
partly in accordance with the degree of
meritorious service In this way the
men who fought the war through to a
successful termination will become to
some extent bondholders. and will have
an additional interest in the general
prosperity of the country. That the
Government feels able to take this step
is another indication of the confidence
that is felt in the future of Japan.

"Tell off the guards!'
Responding to the Sergeant-MaJor's $
command, the long line of heavily
equipped soldiers, standing at ease down
the center of the hard, white square,
becomes agitated at different points
throughout its length-commencing at
the town end and running down to the
Europa end. The senior non-commis-
stoned officers of the guards spring
smartly to attention, bringing their
rifles to the order" as they shrek in
rapid succession: Northwest 'front.'"

From some 16 throats come these
proclamations of the title of the guard
for which they are assembled, for this
regiment is finding the whole of the
garrison guards. Then the line sub
sides, and Orderly Corporals emerge
from the barracks with groceries for
the various guards. The South Bar
racks at their back stand out white and
glaring in the hot sun; soldiers in shirt
sleeves are negligently leaning over the
verandahs to view the mounting; the

The chain of sentrieS on the southern
edge of the neutral ground, stretching
across from the Bay of Gibraltar to the

Front past the abattoir To the towering
northern wall of the Rock, is an ef-
fectual safeguard against all aggression

Spanish soldiery at Linea can look
longingly over, but the perambulating

perplexing natural features--is suffi-
ciently restraining; apart from the

A Florida Delicacy.

A great delicacy in Florida is the tip
of an alIigator's tail. 1t tastes like
frogs legs, though bit more gamey.
Alligator tails are best just after the
ricebird season. The big alligators
float in the water with only their eyes
showing. When they see a flock of
these fat, juicy little birds they dive to
the bottom. Their long, wide snout
scoups up some of the loan and they
float to the surface again with just the
rich soil showing. The birds think it is
an island. They alight upon it. When
the whole family is there the big rep
tile turns suddenly. Just as the birds
scramble off he opens his mouth once.
They are gone. The birds are neat lit
tie feeders and the alligator is an epi-
cure at this time of the year. The rice
bird diet makes the tip of his tail, of
which he is most vain, tender and

Creepy Posts.
There are many posts to try the cour-
age of the nervous sentry. On one post,
on the Northwest Front, he will have
to spend his periods of two hours
amidst ropes and spars and sheds and
lumber on jetty-a place Offering
abundant means of concealment to pos
sibly treacherous enemies. Then there
is the North Flat Bastion Guard, perch
ed midway on the Rock front, reached
circuitOusly by stone steps, where the
sentry is locked in alone with shot and
shell and prowling monkeys; there is
that creepy post of the Ragged Staff,
where, among dense trees and shrubs
and half mile from his comrades, he
is set to watch the magazine; there is

Nowhere is watchfulness more neces-

When all was ready, equipped as Alpine

where quarrying has of late years been
carried on. The normal entrances to

There is one respect in which, ac-
cording to a correspondent the Jap
anese can teach the Chinese nothing in
a military way, and that is in regard
to the cavalry. The Chinese have
horses as good as any known in the
world, and are born horsemen, who
have nothing to learn from Europe or
America. The Japanese are notably
deficient in horsemanship.

Rats Feast on Dynamite.
(West Chester (Penn.) News.)

Although his stable is infested by
rats, John Farrell, of North New street,
is very wary of setting a trap to catch
them, lest he blow up the neighbor-
hood. The rats are loaded and might
explode at any time. Recently Farrell,
who is a quarryman, placed % pounds
of dynamite in his stable. 1t was suffi-
cent to blow up the locality, but the
rats in the neighborhood seemed SIM
ply to be waiting for it. Farrell went
to look after his dynamite, and all he
found was paper left by the rats,
which had torn open the packages and
eaten the contents.

Sandpits Magazine is no enviable one.
Not only is he practically responsible
for the immense masked batteries
reaching from his post to the Alameda,
and alone with enormous supplies of
shot and shell at a considerable dis
tance from his guard; he is also sep
arated from his comrades by ceme-
terry. Further, there is a grewsome
yarn-impressively subscribed to by
imaginative old soldiers-of "a murder
ed sailor who parades nightly at the
entrance to the post. There is no sub
