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 n pic- 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 horizon. Tho f,gurea of the ships as shown in this picture are small, heightening the cele(•( of the broad wake expanse, but the figure of the leading battle- ship colics out very clearly, as does the great cloud of rolling black smoke rising from its funnels. while Medlar clouds can he seen rising from the funnels of the ships follow- ing at Intervals in line. the last of which is on the distant horizon line. 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 illustrations of t his shrewd observe - 'Hon. The student who was univer- sally admired was the one who lin- gered on the campus with the field sports until the lust moment, then rushed to his roo►n, flung down his cap, snatched up his book, glanced at the lesson, thought like lightning, drew on his reserves in answering questions. and. rlrrtwing out the pro- fessor, who (lid the real reciting. an.l so gleefully leaking a "brilliant ie - Mat ion."

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." When I.ivingstone's work in Africa was done the dark continent was mapped out and spread fully before the :lfl':RCIIANTS OF TI1F WORLD.

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.

MODELLED IN GERMANY. 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. 25,000 NEW WORDS are addled in the last edition of VIch- :•ter'e; International Dictionary.
