Japanese win from Russia

The Russian war broke out -four
years later, and as conditions were in
Japan's favor and.against Russia, the
japanese won. They were carefully
prepared for the campaign in Mancbu-
fla; the Russians, blinded by the idea
that little Japan would never dare,
were not. The Japanese know every
square foot of ground on which they
had, in 1896, fought the Chinese. The
Russians were strangers. The Japanese
were near their own country, near
their military bases and resources, the
Russians far away from theirs.
The Japanese were enthusiastic IN
the idea that for the first time they
were measuring their military capac-
| ity against that of European power.
They wore attacking, and Russia was
on the defensive. Yet the Japanese
did not find victory as easy as they
had anticipated. They had hoped TO
take Fort Arthur in, April, 1904, but in
| spite Of enormous losses only got in on
january 1, 1906. They had hoped TO
surround the Russian army as the Ger
mans surrounded the French at Sedan
them Further and further back, 4.
After peace had been made they sent
thousands of agents into China, think
ing China ought to receive them with
open arms. They had shown China
how to treat the intruders from Eu.
rope. Why should not China say:
- Here are my people, my treasures
my empire; you who know how to teach
my men to get rid of those Troublesome
Europeans and japan wonld gra
eiously take the people and the treas
ure and the empire with the slogan
Asia for the Asistics,'' and make
them all Japanese. ..t. 81.

HARD WORK SELDOM FATAL
Nervous Prostration and Its Attendant
Ills Generally Derived From
Other Sources.

We hear a great deal today about
excessive brainwork, and we read in
the newspapers of frequent break
downs from that cause. Every week
or oftener we are told of some clergy
man, leading merchant or other busi-
ness man who collapses and has to
quit work-perhaps take trip to Eu-
rope and reside for months or year
for that reason. College students are
reported from time to time as dam
aging or killing themselves by hard
study. We doubt the truth of most of
these statements. A knowledge of the
facts would show, we believe, that in
nine-tenths Of these cases the cause Of
the breakdown was not an excess of
brainwork, but the lack Of something
else, such as nutritious food, sleep,
bodily exercise, and cheerful temper.
The truth is, no organ of the body is
tougher than the brain. Hard work
alone, pure and simple-apart from
anxieties and fear, from forced or vol
untary stinting of the body's needed
supply Of food or sleep and the minds
need of social intercourse-does far
more to invigorate the brain than to
lessen its strength; does more to pro.
long life than to cut or fray its thread.
1t Is the rarest thing in the world
for a man to think himself to death,
unless his thoughts run for many years
in q monotonous rut-which is as det-
rlmental to vigor as a monotonous
diet to the digestive functions-or un-
less his thoughts relate to something
very painful, irritating, or distressing.
1t has been justly said that thought
Is to the brain what exercise Is to the
physical organism. 1t keeps the chan
nels Of life clear, the blood vessels un-
obstructed, so that the vital, fluid
courses along them distributing new
ness Of life and vigor of action to the
latest hour of existence. On the other
hand, the want Of thought starves the
circulation, and causes men to drivel
and sleep in old age-dead to every
thing but eating and browsing In the
chimney corner.
So untrue is 1t that college students
break down from the stress of study
on the brain that, other things being
equal, the hardest students enjoy the
best health. Where one young man, II
any, ruins his health by wrestling with
mathematical and psychological prob
lens or with the enigmas of Greek
and Latin syntax, bad habits, the
strain, and excitement of athletic con-
tests, cigars, wine-drinking and other
forms of dissipation, and heavy eating
at late hours, undermine the health of
hundreds. The two little fingers of
dissipation are often heavier than the
lines of Euclid.

FOUND BY MOVIES
Parents Recognized Face Of
Wandering Son In Film.
Actual Recorded Fact, and Not a Mat.
ter Of Invention or Imagination
Proves Photoplay Field a
Field of Romance.

All Of US have read fiction stories
that recorded the recognition of the
features Of some long-lost son or
other missing and highly interesting
person in chance-found photograph
or moving-picture Aim. Most of US
also have regarded these stories as
highly creditable from the viewpoint
of invention and imagination, but here
Is story from the realm Of fact:
"Pana, Ill.-A naval picture of men
loading rifles ON the battleship Flor
Ida at Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was
published in newspaper, has re-
suited in the location Of son Of
wealthy parents, for many years resi-
dents of Raymond. west OF Pana, aft
er he had been missing FIVE years.
The parents recognized in the pic
ture a striking resemblance OF their
son, who disappeared from his home
when he was seventeen years old, and
they sent for the picture as originally
made and then took up correspon.
dence with the navy department,
learning from the officials that
young man of the description given by
them Of their son had enlisted five
years ago.
The navy department is now In
correspondence with officers OF the
Florida in Vera Cruz harbor in an ef.
fort to bring parents and son together
once more. When he enlisted In the
navy the young man gave an assumed
name"
With great effort we force back the
comment that fact is stranger than
fiction" but It is, nevertheless, when
you come to think Of It. The moving
