JAPANESE WAK OUTFIT
TROOPS WELL PROTECTEE
AGAINST COLDEST WEATHER.
.All Clothing Mr.de of the Best Ma
terial?Great Coats of Thick Wool
cn Goods and Hooded?Many De
tails of How the Health of Soldieri
Is Preserved.
Miss MeCaul, who was recently com
missioned by Her Majesty to ro to .lap
an to inquire into tne working ot tilt
Japanese Red Cross society, has
brought back with her the eompleti
oiuflt of a soldier of the Japanese Iui
perial Guard, which was presented ti
her by Gen. Teranclii. the minister o
war, together with samples of the foot
supplied to the soldier on active advice.
These various articles, whicl
have been inspected by the king, win
has expressed great interest in th?
many ingenious devices they present
will shortly he exhibited at the Roya
United Service Institution. Whitehall
They are worthy, says the British Med
ical Journal, which publishes specia
photographs, of the most careful stud}
by all military officers and afford <
striking example of the care ani
strong common sense with which tin
health and comfort of the soldier arc
considered hy those responsible for hit
outfit and the minute attention to dc
tail which is characteristic of the Jap
anese army.
One notable feature of all the cloth
ing is that it is apparently made of the
best material. The material for tic,
winter clothing appears to be all wool
and warm. In the neat blue parade
uniform. Jacket or tunic, plain flat
brass buttons are done away with as
far as possible, fastenings being ir
nearly all instances carried out bj
means of flat hooks and eyes. The
summer jacket and trousers are ol
khaki drill; the jacket is perfect!)
plain, and there are no buttons on ail)
of the garments. A strip of white lir.
en is issued to wind round tho nock a:
a collar inside the tunic. The forage
cap which ?p?s with this uniform is si
marvel of lightness. It has a detachable
linen cover to be used iu summer, from
which hangs a linen screen to protect
tilt* neck. This screen being mneie it
to roe parts?a centre and two sidesallows
the air to pass freely. For all
uniforms the trousers are made like
riding breeches, in that they end above
the ankle, where they are made to fit
tight to the limb, being fastened bj
tapes instead of buttons.
Putties or gaiters must, of course, bt
worn with these. The ordinary great
coat is of thick woollen cloth with
bone buttons. It has a hood which can
he drawn over the head. A conipara
lively small detail in the cut of this, as
also of the winter great-coat, shows
how enr, fully health and comfort, and
therefore individual efficiency, have
been considered. The free edges of the
front, instead of being cut straight
slope out warn below the waist, male
ing the skirt of the coat lap over more
completely below; it Is thus prevented
from gaping in walking, and the legs
and knees are protected front rain. The
front of the skirt can he buttoned back
to allow free movement of the lower
linrbs for marching in dry weather. A
mosquito net "helmet" or head cover
ing in addition to its value as a preventive
of malaria, is a great comfort
in summer, where there are many flies.
The "coldproof" winter overcoat mer
its some description, for it seems to be
devised to insure warmth in the most
severe climate. Made of thick woollen
cloth, it has a large collar covered with
fur, which is of course inside when the
collar ;s raised. From the middle ol
the edge of this collar a button or hood
can be pulled out so as to cover the
head, and over this can be worn the
ample detached woollen "coldproof"
hood, which from its shape and long
ends to wrap round the neck recalls
the hoods of Chaucer's time. Hanging
by cords from the neck are large
gloves or mittens?one division for
all the fiingers and one for the thumb;
they can thus be worn off, when the
hand is required for firing or any other
purpose, wimout being lost. A sheepskin
waistcoat with the wool outside
is also issued for severe weather. It
fastens at one side. The underclothing
is of similar good material to that
of the outer garments, n cotton shirt
and drawers for summer and a thick
knitted woollen jersey, or sweater,
and pan.'s for winter. The rihhed woollen
stockings are made without heels,
and warm toeeaps and issued in *he
coldest weather to wear over the stockings
to prevent frost bite. These toecaps
are nmde of a lamb's wool material
like very thick lint, the soft surface
being inside. A roll of fine striped
llannel of very good quality and about
a yard and a half long Is isnued to be
wound round the abdomen and takes
the place of a cholera belt. It is Interesting
to note that the woollen cloth
and blanket are made In the Japanese
military woollen cloth factory, while
hemp cloth, cotton cloth and leather
are madrt or prepared in private factories
in Japnn find cut out and sewn
in the military clothing dei>ot.?London

LONG FLIGHT OF SEAGULLS.
I
j They Follow Army Transports Across
the Pacific and Back.
Wo are pround of our great ocean
liners and the speed that they make,
a speed which has made foreign coun
tries ridiculously near and has brought
the nations close together. To the people
of a hundred years ago the story
that a vessel could cross the broad Pacific
within a month would seem like
the sheerest fancy of a romancer. Yet,
at that time, seagulls existed as they
i do at the present day and they made
i their long trips without provoking any
i especial comment. Today it is looked
:tnon as nothing very marvellous that
> birds are able to fly from America to
f Asia and back again. But. if we pause
1 to consider it, the feat is really something
after all.
1 These birds are especially fond of
* the United States army transports, for
5 these ships carry many men, who, denied
the taste for books, which ren1
ders an ocean journey less tedious, and
having limited facilities for deck sport,
take to feeding the gulls as a pastime.
I W!ien one of the big vessels leave
r j the Golden Gate and passes the Frral1
lone islands a hundred or more brown
1 bodies with long sweeping wings leave
i their resting place and take up the
5 i.?ght in the wake of the transport.
* Then some soldier who has made the
trip before says: "Here come the seagulls.
We'd better feed them if we
want a quick passage this trip," and
many soldiers invade the steward's
? premises and gather up the waste
; bread and victuals.
The birds seem to know when they
; are to iv> fed, tor thev come flying in
I ever narrowing circles until they are
* within a short distance of the ship,
i Then the food begins to fall on the
r waters, and the brown-winged forms
! swoop eagerly down upon the waves
C and seize what has been thrown forth.
' This is continued until the food is ex'
hnusted, and then the, soldiers go below,
leaving the gulls to get away
? with theh food as they fly. They
* never seem to rest, these queer birds,
i Day after day they follow the ship,
* cleaving the air with swift wings, flyi
ing easily and without apparent effort,
t indeed, it seems a sthough they were
i not mufle to rest.
On the last trip of the transport
I | Logan one of the gulls had its wing
s ' muscles injured in some way and
5 dropped fluttering upon the deck, its
wide, goose-like bill open, and strange
r squawks coming from its throat. A
soldier spied it and took it to its bunk,
, where he fed it daily until it became
strong; again. Then ho allowed it to J
i fly away. But the bird had not for- '
t gotten its benefactor. Every day it
would light on the deck and allow
. none save this particular man to feed
it. It followed the boat to Honolulu,
' to Guam, and Anally to Manila. Where
: it rested during the two weeks the Lo:
gan lay in Manila is not known, but
j when the vessel turned on its home!
ward course, bound for Nagasaki, the
I first day out found this gull, easily
1 distinguished by a fleck <>: white on its
j neck, resting on the stem. As its fn|
vorito soldier did not npi>ear the gull !
j graciously allowed others to feed It. |
and continued its trip with the ship i
until the Logan passed the Farallone 1
! islands.
A peculiar incident was one that oc- \
enrred on tlte It. M. >S. Athenian on
her last trip from Yokohama to Van- \
couver. Five days out, lout) miles I
from land in any direction, a little (
owlet alighted on the deck and was
captured bjT the secon dsteward. It j
j was a baby owl, a little bundle of
brown and white feathers, and it
blinked its eyes in the daylight as it j
rested contentedly in the cage wliicii
the steward provided.

Japanese Advice for Women.
The following extracts nre taken j
from a code of morals for the women I
of Japan, lyhich was published some j
years ago;
"It is bettor for women to have n j
good mind than a beautiful appearance.
Parents must bo on guard lest thicr
j daughters see or hear any evil thing,
j A woman must not chatter nor slanI
dor any one nor tell a lie. When she
' hears any slander she must not repeat ,
it. for this causes disputes among families.
"A wife must not waste her money
in expensive clothing, but must dress
according to her income. Her ornaments
and clothing must not be splendid.
but neat and clean, so that she
will not cause people to remark. She
?-houhl dress according to her rank.
' Though a woman may have many
servants, it is a rule that she should I
manage the house herself."?New
