THE JAPANESE BLUEIACKET.
His Ration Would Not Hold an
American Boy in the Navy
a Day.
From the Few York Times.

From the Few York Times.
The uniform Of she Japanese blue.
Jacket IL almost Identical with that
OF the English mar-oi.war's men.
Their pay, however, ia very small,
and ranges from about ~ month
to $16 a month. Their highest paid
petty officer receives a lower wage
than does the apprentice In the
American navy, and the ration which
Is served 80 the Japanese bluej scket
would not hold an American boy in
the naval service overnight. The
American navy ration Is the envy OF
every other nl8G.of war s man Ia the
world, aud is 10 every respect equal
80 the food which one finds on the
table oi the average New Yorker.
The Japanese ration consists almost
wholly of rice, with an allowance OF
bread twice a week
The routine OF shipboard life is
very much the same, but one notices
striking little differences here and
there. For example, the captain OF
an American man-oi.war won d
promptly bring to court-martiala any
deck officer wac was found smoking
whileon duty. The japanese officers
placidly smoke their cigarette atsny
time they wish.
Unlike the American ships, the Jap
anese carry no marines. Then, too,
their small boats are entirely differ
ent, their steam launches being long
waisted, speedy craft, and which
seem to have been built originally
for torpedo boat work. Their small
er boats are most peculiar, the type
OF craft which corresponds with the
dinghy OF the American service, being
propelled by a set OF quadruple sculls,
worked from cleats rugged oversize.

No sooner has the national excite

raised, and by himself. Now it is a
captain OF industry; ogain, an oppo.

But always the issue lie the same, the

EVA BOOTHS FIRST SPEECH
The PIucky Girl Stood on a Dry
Goods Box and Talked TO
0utcasts.

From the World.
Mounted on a dry goods box 80
that she could reach the level OF her
audience. Eva Booth made her first
speech to men and women Of the gut
ter, with red.bloatsd faces and sneer-
ing eyes.
at is worth your life to venture
into shat neighborhoodl" the police
argued, when she planned an excur.
sion into the worst section OF Lon
don.
She said nothing, but the next day
a ragged young woman selling
matches made her way into the deep
est Of those scowling hsunts OF vice.
Barred from the neighborhood In her
real character, she hid her identity
under the rags Of the slums and min.
gled with the people OF the under
world as one OF themselves.
For months she lived the life OF the
alleys and the attics, selling packets
OF matches and crumpled flowers to
maintain her disguise-the while
ministering to the sick and the dying,
filing exhausted larders, giving q
helping hand to the fallen, averting
angry blows OF drunken husbands
and fathers. When she announced
her Zeal character, so great was the
impression she had made that the
Salvation army meeting, In the heart
OF the most notorious district in
London, was packed.
Her reward came In the title that
followed her back to her home, "the
angel of the sums" and a siege Of
brain fever that brought her daily to
deaths door.
A resolute young woman one day
appeared at the superintendent's Of
flee OF one of the most dangerous OF
the Cornish mines with q request
that brought him to his feet In
amazement.
81 would like to go down into the
shaft to talk to the men," she said
quietly. The speaker was Eva
Booth.
"Wny, even a strong man would
hesitate to make the Descent" the
superintendent cried. "My dear
young lady"
"Iknow the risk, and am willing to
takeit," interrupted his visitor, with
a smile. "You will not actually for
bid me, surely?"
The superintendent stared-and
surrendered.
At the mouth OF the mine he made
arrangements to accompany her.
During the descent q hitch was ex-
perienced In thelowering Of the bask-
! ct. The two occupants we're hung,
swaying In pitch darkness between
the top OF the shaft and the firm
ground, hundreds OF feet below. For
a moment a irightiul death lowered
before them.
OF a sudden the girls voice came
clear and sweet In the words OF the
old, old hymn, "Nearer, My God, to
| Thee, Nearer to Theel"
There was not tremor in thu
tones. When the rope ran smoothly
} again and the basket reached the
bottom, the superintendent was her
!; first convert. And in the shadowy
mine corridors, deep In the bowels Of
the earth, she gained a score oil
. others.
