The Miluary Korce of Jnpar.. The Japanese army is equipped, ortcaniznd and drilled like n European army and many of :ts officers have received their education in European countries. Conscription was intro?Jneed into Japan in 1874 and the regulations now in force were adopted in 1883. Every male citizen between the n&v.s of 17 ind 40 years owes military laervlce. which is given three yoars in the active army, lour years In the first reserve, five years in the territorial army and eleven years in the nntlonal army of the second reserve. For the jernr 1801-02 the budget provides for 12 divisions or 24 brigades of infantry, ?aeh brigade composed of two regiments of thr?e battalions each. The cavalry comprises 17 regiments or 51 squadrons. The artillery has 19 regiments or 144 field and mountain batteries. The engineers have at present 2H companies and will soon have 89. The Army Service Corps has 13 battalions of two companies, with one battalion (three companies) of telejgraph troops. Upsides the 13 divisions of the infantry there are three regiments of coast guards and two battalions of foot artillery and a special brigade of four battalions of Infantry, cavalry, artillery and engineers (the "Yosso Brigade). The aggregate is 3.116 officers and 135,633 men on a p*-are footing. The war strength is 392.220 men and 1,098 guns, the re SCTVCH excluded. When It la remembered that recent campaigns have shown the Japanese army to be of first rate quality it Is obvious that the military power of the new nation of the rat idc is formidable. I victims or Electricity. A table has been compiled by the Insurance companies of the losses of sJectrlclty during the nine months ending on Dec. 1. Two hundred and fortysix persons have been electrocuted during these nine months, or an averago of almost thirty a month; 515 have been maimed; 112 horses have been killed, and there were 442 hres. In this table no account has been TkrpL of the indirect accidents through the use of electricity, such as trolley <car accidents, electric mobile accidents, and the like, but only whore the direct slertriu shock caused the death or maiming or the lire. The loBses by electric fires alono have averaged over a million dollars a month. These losses have become so arrious that the accident, life, and fire >i? - i uuii'auiu:* ure considering tba advisability of taking united action ^igaonst them.

The winter months show more damage by electricity than the summer months. Ihiring the summer there are lower fires and not so many electrocutions. while after every winter's storm there is a long list of casualties and tosses from imperfect insulation, crosstil and broken wires, and misled curitcnia.

AND HE IS GIVEN SOME MORPHINE Then Bill Clues to Sleep, lias Fitful Dreams and Quotes Turn Angelina" All the Night Long. If anyone else was conrerned I would not write this sick letter, but it may benefit others who are similarly affected. I havo been a very sick man an.l hardly expected to see my next birthday. which is today, the 15th, but I have scuffled through and am now on the up grade. One of my far-away boys wired me to work on my stomach and 1 would get well. He might as well have wlrod: "Keep on living and you will keep living on." No. it wasn't the stomach. It was high up where the loft vantrielo of the heart had got walled up in and the trouble was what the doctor calls the angina pcctoria, and my left arm was helpless. For two days and nights 1 sufTored more of real agony than I ever suffered in all my lifo. Our doctor boy was here from Florida, and knew exactly what was the matter, and I took all his medicine, hut got little relief, and I was willing to die to get out of pain. Finally he gave me morphine in both arms and I went off to sleep and rest. Those morphine dreams and visions are always a miracle to me. I thought that in his talk about my trouble he called it angelina pectoris, for I don't hear well now. and I got the refrain on my mind, that pretty verse from Goldsmith's "Hermit:" "Turn. Angelina?ever dear? My charming turn to see. Thine own, thine long-lost William here. Resorted to heaven and thee." Ever and anon I could hear it raining on the tin roof, but it didn't rain a drop. All night long 1 was murmuring "Turn, Angelina, ever dear." I couldn't stop it nor think of anything else to say. but I wasn't restored?next day I got some better and as 1 hadn't taken any nourishment for three or four days I craved something add, and like a foolish boy eat a small piece of huckleberry pie for supper, which they told me not to do. That set the dogs to barking about midnight and set me hack Just where I had been, and the doctor's work all had to be done over again. Emetics and hot baths and hot water bags and more morphine finally brought relief. That night after supper the young people hud the dining table cleared off and were playing that pretty little childish game called ping pong or ding dong or sing song or Hong Kong, or some outlandish name with its tinkling halls, and so I got up anomer rerram and was murmuring ping pong, ding dong and ding d??ng bell all night. One of my boys, who is always punning, told his moth or that huckleberry pie business was simply a ease of too much pie-eaty. and they tried to make me smiie, but they couldn't. 1 was past all wit and humor and puns and jokes, llut I am done with huckleberry pie and huckleberry cordial and huckleberry Finn and any other huckleberry. Only last Saturday my only brother died suddenly of heart failure away off from home. His time was not out, for he was nearly twenty years younger than I am, and row, alas! 1 have no brother, and he was always a good brother to me. But almost everybody Is threatened with heart failure now. and so I am looking out for it, but don't want it to come along the Angelina line. The heart is the most wonderful and mysterious organ of our anatomy. It is called the seat of affections, tho desires, the emotions. The organ of love and hate and joy, but it is not. It is mentioned in the Bible more than six hundred times, and always in connection with our good or bad traits, but it has nothing to do with feoling or emotion (r>r character. It Is nothing but a fleshy, pulpy organism, a mechanical contrivance, and has to be carefully nursed or it will rebel. It is the engine that drives the whole anatomical machine. If overworked or overfed with ico or tobacco or anything else it will work on faithfully until it can't work any longer then gets discouraged and dies suddenly at Its post. The hook says that but little was known to medical science concerning the heart until the eighteenth century, and that within the last fifty jears many hooks have been written, and now no part of the human system is better understood or more satisfactorily treated. The disease called angina pectoris is declared to be the most dangerous to which it is subject because of its distressing pain and a sense of impending death. If I had read that while I was suffering I should have surrendered, but the doctor wouldn't tell me nor let me read it. He says it is better to mtpify rather than magnify the apprehensions of his patients. But the young people ought to be told, told often and earnestly, that they can't fool with the heart. A boy who smokes cigarettes on the sly is storing up trouble that will surely come home and sap his manhood and shorten his life. This is so well known now that good men will not employ boys who smoke. One vice calls for another and a news manager told me the other day that one o" his newsboys skipped some of his patrons every week so as to have a paper or two to sell and get money to buy cigarettes. Of course he discharged him. It is pleasant entertainment to listen to a doctor tell his varied experiences and this one uttered a trut-i the other day that ought to provoke serious thought in every parent's bosom, lie says that his greatest foo in the treatment of diseases of children is their disobedience to their parents and it is most, generally the mother's fault. They will do things and eat th.ngs that are forbidden, but she loves the little dears so much she overlooks their disobedience and so when thoy get sick they will not take tbe jhy.^ielan s nifdicmi.H without force or a struggle and if the duct.** adhere to force it the moth * x ' M i t * - ? or lets the time pass rather than hear the screams or cries of the child. Not half the parents enforce obedience from their children. Prompt and willing obedience should be the first lesson taught a child. Theii hanolnoss de ponds upon it and so does the mother's peace. We old-fashioned people have but little patience with a generation that is trying to reform the world with new methods?abolishing the ways of their forefathers? raising children on love instead of discipline and filling all the schools in the land with athletic sports and intercollegiate contests. What onor, what manliness, is there in kicking a ball or batting one or wrestling or rowing a boat? These sports have gotten to be the most important part of the curriculum and fill the daily papers with pictures and thrilling reports of the games. It is all an "ignis fatuus" that fools the boys and makes them think they have acquired an education. When they went to college their parents had fond hopes of them?when they coine out that hope is gone, for thry arc unfit for business or the duties of life. While I was half recovering from the morphine state 1 got to ruminating about the value of things and 1 compared good health and domestic happiness and he love and devotion of wife and children with fame and power and wealth and ambition and the very thought of them sickened mo. 1 wouldn't givo a good shower of rain just now for Roosevelt and all he has got or over expects to be.

They kill a thousand negroes to our one. They make a land desolate and call it peace. They have trampled the love of liberty in the dust and all for lust of power and place. A woman front Kansas City sands me a paper with a speech of a Grand Army of the Republic orator on Decoration day in which lie says that he wishes every confederate monument was buried in the bottomless ocean and other vindicative thing3, and she wants me to answer it. No, it is no use. That Grand Army of the Republic is full of such contemptible creatures and ; csw't answer them all. It is a standin.. curso to the peace of the land. Let the ball roll on. Turn Angelina?ping pong, ding dong, ding dong bell. We will survive the wreck of matter and the crush of words. And sq I went ot( to sleep murmuring, there is no Grand Army. It is a two for a niekle or four to one concern, if 1 couldn't fight better than that I'd apologize and hide out. Some of them down here in Atlanta would like to make friends, but they have never apologized and the way tney do reminds me of the old couple: "I know that you say that you love me.
