s4,s4s JAPANESE KILLED.
Japan's Losses in War Made Known by
Ceremony in Honor of the Dead


One of the charges brought aguinst the
Japanese by the correspondents serving
i'm the field with the Japanese armies dur
ing the late war with Russia was that
the commanders of the Mikados forces
never allowed a correct list of the men
lost by land and sea to 20 forth. Until
recently outside nations have not known
what was the loss TO the island empire in
terms of men slain in the land and naval
enga gcmentS of the war. and now the
true figures come out through peculiar
circumstance.
On May l there was celebrated at the
Nasukuni shrine in Toxic the third and
last great ceremony in honor of the souls
of the dead patriots of the war. Because
the Emperor had decided that no mans
soul shall be sighted because uf rTUffT7rTr
pairing down of the list of casualties the
ceremony which took place on May | was
all inclusive. II took in those to whom
former houors were done. those that died
of their wounds after the termination Of
the war and, by imperative order of the
| Emperor. those non-COmbatants who lost
their lives in the discharge Of their du-
ties in both branches Of the service.
\ total of the souls WorShipped at the
three ceremonies gives the complete toll
of the war rs far as the Japanese war
and laval officers have been able to yer

IN BEAUTIFUL BERMUDA.

Lilies.

As we wander through the streets

ourselves If 1t can really be Of the

Of many colors, flying in all direc.

meet, greet and part, writes Ellen
Wood Coombs, in Four-Track News.
A holiday world 1t seems, with
wealth and fragrance Of flowers to
complete the gala effect. Fields of
Easter lilies nod their satin helmets
In the sunshine, and century-plants,
towering 20 feet.aAove, throw out bril-
liant candelabra ST blossoms in strik-
ing contrast. Waxen scrolls Of callas
peep through lattice and gateway, and
the night blooming cereus, falling 10
masses over the white walls, filings to
the darkness Of its own little world

Judge Pages Lost Coat.

Judge Calvin Page, of Portsmouth,
leading member Of the New Hamp-
shire bar, has been prominent in New
Hampshire politics for a number OF
years. A few years ago he was sit
ting in the rotunda of the Eagle hotel
in Concord earnestly discussing the
political situation with some friends.
He had a very nice new overcoat,
which he carefully placed upon the
chair underneath him. Becoming In
terested in the conversation, he paid
no further attention to the coat.
A stranger standing near noticed
that the judge was very much abb
sorbed, and, walking up to him, placed
his hand on his shoulder and said:
Excuse me, sir, but you are sitting on
my coat"
The Judge promptly arose and apol-
ogized, allowing the man to walk OF
with his coat.
When the conversation was finished
and the Judge looked for his coat, his
remarks were rather emphatic.-Bos.

GUARDED BY CANNON.
Home Of Millionaire That Il
Armed Like an Ancient
Fortress.

In an old country like our own, with
It's ancient traditions Of respect for
law and order, firearms are seldom re-
sorted to as a protection against law
breakers.
In the United States, however,
things are widely different.
Revolyers, rifles and even cannon
are called into service as a protection
against thieves and rioters, and, when
necessary, the weapons are used with
far less provocation than would be the
case here.
An instance In point Is the home Of
q certain millionaire, which is guard
ed like y fortress, with perfect arse
nal of weapons, including cannon and
howltzers, which can be fired by cleo
trio wires from the house.
In addition, the grounds surround
ing the mansion are fitted with thou
sands Of electric light bulbs, SO as to
be instantly illuminated in case Of at
tack.
Some Of the large factories, too, are
furnished with Maxim guns for use
against turbulent strikers.
