JAPANESE MAILING CARDS
War Now Furnishing Subjects for
Illustration.
Pictured utai:ing cards, (nude in
Japan, now -n -days pre tent many
striking scenes of the war. One
card, for instance, lately received in

tures
country, has upon it two -
{ nc
tures of the army review held in 'l'o-
kio in November, 1904.
There is also reproduced on thts
card, running across tho larger of
the two pictures, a bar of music,
presumably an army bugle call.
There are legends in Japanese char-
acters on each side of this card, and
the title explaining the pictures is
printe( also in English.
Another Japanese mailing card
with a war picture for its illustra-
tion has likewise legends in Japanese
characters on either side, one of
these inscriptions being printed in
gold. The title of the picture as
printed in English wider u line of
Japanese is. "Our Combined Squad-
ron St.eerning Toward the Enemy."
The picture on this curd also is n
reproduction of a photograph, of one
evidently taken from the after deck
of a war vessel, a rannll section of
whicn appears in the foreground of
the picture. As shown on the card
the vessels, with a battleship in the
lead, are coiling toward the observer
in coluutn. The broad wake made
by the turning Screws of the ship
from which the photograph was tak-
en shows plainly in the picture, as
do the waves made by the bows of
the battleship following, the leader
of the colu:nn of ships seen in the
picture. which is moving through a
broad and quiet sea, stretching away
with nu land in sight, to the distant

The Genius of Persistence as a Factor in
Success in Life.
A despatch from Brooklyn, N. Y.,
t•
says: Dees 1 ►. Newell Ilwi sht Millis
preached from the following text:
"Holding fast the faith." -Paul.
1'or young peen, another practical
virtue is persistence. '1'o all candi-
dates for honors comes this great
word, "hold fast." Tho journey is
long. the hill steep, the burden heavy
and the clImbe, must !lave the grace
of persistence. Getting on in life
is like getting through the new sub-
way -you must hold your ground
and push hard. Getting up in life
is liking climbing a tree -you must
hold fast with your legs what you
have already gunned ami you must
reach up with your hands toward a
new height.
Faraday understood this. At the
close of the day, the scientist drop-
ped a tiny screw. Because the twi-
light was falling his assistant gave
up, saying:
,It is of no consequence, I will find
it for you in the morning."
"It is of no consequence," said
Faraday, "that I have the screw un-
til morning, hut it is of infinite con-
sequence that I am not defeated in
my habit. of never stopping until 1
have succeeded in the thing I have
set out to do."
For persistence must become a ha-
bit. Patience (oust be made alltotlla-
tic. The grace of toiling on and
on until the thing is achieved is a
shining thread that roust be woven
into character as the scarlet thread
is woven into the rope for the ship
of the admiral of
TI i hl ENGLISH FLEET.
• There pre many jeweled virtues set
lid too crown of a truly greet man
and one of the brightest of the jewels
is persistence.
A wide outlook upon life tells us
that the prizes of life are less to the
swift. than to the patient plodders.
Looking back upon his long career
with his students, Mark Hopkins
once naid that if the brilliant boys
• carried off the recitations, the plod-
1_clers carried oft life's prizes.
'',very ccllege-bred mein can recall

'Hon. The student who was univer-
sally admired was the one who lin-
gered on the campus with the field

questions. and. rlrrtwing out the pro-

\1.1111.1: TIIE OTHER SLEPT,
The history of men of achievement
is the history of persistent ',loading.
Gibbon writes his memoirs nine
times. Newton rewrites his chrono-
logy sixteen times. Addison collects
three volumes of reelections before
he writes his first paper for the
Spectator. Turner made 30,000
drawings end ended with his "Slave
Ship" and immortality. The great.
words are purpose and perseverance.
Blessed is the youth who can spy,
"'Phis one thing 1 do," and who un-
derstands the other injunction to
hold fast the chosen purpose.
The rewards of i cu'sistence justify
this emphasis. The h•isbalulIiian
sows his seed and toils on. and per-
sistence reaps the harvest. The
scholar opens his books and toils
on. and persistence reaps fame. The
reformer attacks the evil and toils
on, and persistence destroys the
evil. The force that is constant will
always overcome the force that is
less constant. Indeed, there never
lived n [pan who carte to anything
who lacked this quality of pertina-
city and adherence.
How is it that the mountain
climber reached that sum[nit of 23.-
000 feet? Plainly 1•y going on and
on until his foot was on the last
stone and the whole earth was under
his feet.
The motto of David Livingstone
was in these words: "I determined
never to stop until I had come to
the end and achieved my t urpose."

By sheer dogged persistence and faith
in God he conquered, acting as if

Young man, hold fast to your pur-
pose. If trouble rains blows on

Peter and the others developed Into

ARSENIC IN HOSIERY.
The London Lancet Protest
Against Its Usg
At (cast 50 per cent. of the cheaper
ferule of hosiery contain very dis-
tinct quantities of arsenic, the
amount rising in some cases to as
much its half a grain per pair of
stockings.
'17110 is the result of a series of
testa mode hy the analyst for Not-
tingham, England, Mr. S. It. Trot -
man, Id.A., F.I.C. '171e arsenic is
due to (1) the use of materials for
finishing and dying, which are them-
selves contaminate:I, and (2) the
"Mot ing" of the turns with impure
forms of sulphur.
In quoting these results the Lancet
objects strongly to the practice of
loading drew materials with mineral
substances:
"We hate found quite a large num-
ber of the lnetallIc oxides, known to
chemistry, present In woolen gar-
ments and silk goods, and we sup-
pose that there nee very few of the
silk ties worn chiefly by men which
do not contain a very largo propor-
tion of mineral substance.). 'These
substances, of course, give consider-
able weight to the material. 'Thus
compounds of eiru•, tin, and aluinin-
um are used, which, di'solved in per-
spiration, would, we halo little'
doubt, form corrosive salts.
"Although not highly soluble, this
arsenic can lie extricated by water)
and slightly acid suhttions, and there
is therefore a possibility, if not 11• er
lihood, of its being gradually ab-
sorbed hy the system."

The recent sale of relics of Mary
Queen of Scots, w)lich has excited no
much interest, reminds one of many
other memorials of the beautiful and
ill-fated Queen which have survived
to our time and which are most jeal-
ously treasured, Files London

It is not long since a which
had once been hers excited keen Com-
petition in 1)uwell's Rooms, Edin-
burgh, and was purchased by the An-
tiquarian Museum authorities for 85.3
guineas. Of this harp Miss Strlctc-
land tells an interesting story. When
on n hunting excursion in the high-
lands of Perthshire in 1563, Marv,
then a radiant girl of twenty-one, of-
fered her harp ns a prize to the
musician who could play most skil-
fully and sweetly on it, and when the
verdict was giti•n in favor of Miss
Iieatrix Gardyu, of Ilanchory, the
young Queen presented the pgqize to
her wit h the pretty c pllMuent,
"1'ou alone are worthy to possess
the harp you touch so well."

British Soldiers' Uniforms Copied
From Various Countries.
It may be a humiliating fact, but
it is one which there is no use iq
denying, that tho British! Army w•e
are all su proud of is clothed for the
nsost part after the fashion adoptee(
by foreign armies, which we have
copied, not they coeicd from us; very
frequently, indeed, we have given up
good British styles and assumed tho
foreign ones in their place, says
l'earson's Weekly.
Probably ono of the smartest and
most admired uniforms is that of
the hussars. •'This -Lennie to us front
Austria. 'lilto.1 very name is Austrian
or, rather, Hungarian, being derived
front the Hungarian for twenty,
husz. Every twenty families of that
country had to furnish one plan for
service in the corps, hence the word
hussar.
With the name, in itself good, we
took the uniform, the striking, flat-
topped busby, with overhanging bag,
and the plume uprising straight and
proudly in front; and the close -fit-
ting tunic, with rows of gold or yel-
low braid across the front, from
shoulder to waist.
When leo adopted Hussars we oust-
ers, to make room for thrum, oar
Light Dragoons, or some of therm
retaining a few regiments of this
name. letter on, we ousted the rest
of the Light Dragoons, and took in
their place the well-known Lancers.
These we copied from the (lerntnn
Uhlans, a tumour' body of cavalry-
men. It is from these that we took
that smart uniform, with its plas-
tron of another color let into the
tunic, making so very fine nn effect;
and also front the Uhlans we took
the steel cap.
'these two copies, though. are cer-
tainly copies from good originals,
and few would think of suggeeling
that we should do away with them.
Other int ovations, however, aro
by no means so desirable, and why
the War Office should have sono
abroad to get. such ugly Patterns
goodness only knows.
A particularly bad one is the new
undress cap which has displaced the
old pill -box. That little caf., set on
the side of the hind and kept !here
by a chin -strap, might not have leen
beau ideal, especially oa n very hot
or very rainy day; but the new one,
which we copied from the troops of
the 'I'snr, has no friends.
A no! her a ndeal•able reform w•o
copied recently was the new frock -
coat fur officers of infantry of the
line. 'Phis mat; copied front Germany
and Was to take the {.lace of the
undress jacket, which woe certainly
snrnrt.er.
