The beautiful japanese sword which
has been presented to King Albert
was forged In 1877 by the famous
swordsmith. Kakagawa Shichiyemon-
no-jo Yudkane, who died in the year
of the great armada. To the collector
II is the wonderful adornments OF the
hilt, guard and scabbard of the Japan
ese swords which appeal. But to the
connoisseur It is the blade itself. For
the Japanese swords excelled the
finest products OF Damascus or Tole'
do, and the great smiths we're a
hereditary caste, who forged their
blades with secret and immemorial
religious rites. This blade was the
"living soul OF the samurai." The
finest blades were made OF soft mag
netic iron, with q hard steel edge
which was tempered in cold watei
while the softer backing was sur
rounded with fire clay.

To Sneak Japanese.

Strange as It may seem, 1t is never
theless fact (Which was admitted In
the house of commons a short time
ago) that there is not a single officer
In the British army who understands
the japanese language!
Some time ago one OF the assistant
directors OF military operations on the
stan OF the army council compiled a
work on strategy, and the Japanese
war office authorities perceiving its
value, translated the work, and, as Is
usual In such cases, forwarded the
British author some copies OF the
translation.
The author, not knowing the Ian
guage. turned over the leaves OF the
army list, and found that not a single
officer in the British army was quail
field to act as interpreter in the Ian
guage Of its allies.

TO the average man the names Of
the new Greek ministers may prove
beWirderlng, but to the Initiated they
reveal good deal. Until after the
war Of liberation century ago few of
the Greek population had surnames,
and a recent generation created their
patronymics by various methods, but
generally By adopting the name Of
their trade or birthplace. to which
their successors have added the ter

son" Most Greek surnames sum-
marize the family history.

Then you can think and speak about
aim as a leprous horned toad. But
you can't think or speak about

all there is to the did 1t, and he's

yours; perhaps it's your heart"
Or,
Come up behind you when you are
looking calmly at some old prints In

there are such things In the world as
