Some of the Japanese were i so determined to die for their country that! several officers made bets that they would be THE Company's Steamship klled in battle. The money was to go to their Widawi. One officer, on starting for the front, made the following wager. If he were killed within a month his heirs were to receive £100. After that date he was to pay his opponent ten yen a day until he had survived 100 days, after which the bet was to cease. He underlook to expose himself to danger only when military

conditions demanded it in other words, not wilfully to let himself be killed.

Port Arthur, enter the town, break through the Naval Brigade, and reach Chi-fu, in China. He was to get £10,000 if he succeeded, but to pay nothing if he failed. Disguised as a Chinaman, he sauntered calmly through the Japanese Army in broad daylight. The Rus sian forts fired on him, but on blu waving the national fiag (which he had wrapped around his body) they welcomed him to the fortress. Three nights later, carrying despatches from Stoessel to prove that he had succeeded, he sailed through the Japanese Fleet, and reached Chi-fu.

THE BURDEN OF GREATNESS,

The famous Hungarian actress, Mme. lika you Palmay, has just published in the "Boersen Coupler" her reasons for divorcing her husband, Count Kinsky, a prominent Hungarian noble-

man. She declares that she cannot endure the

tedious, unemotional life of an aristocral, and after a long struggle to overcome her love for the dramatic profession she recognises that she cannot fulfil her duties as a nobleman's wife, Tho cold formal etiquette ridden aristocratic life is entirely unsuited to her fiery Hungarian temperament, which drives her irresistibly back to the stage. She tried to enjoy lile an a great lady on Count Kinsky's country estate and she also tried it in Vienna and Budapest, but she found both impossible, the stage proving more attractive than society. The Countess will re- sume her name of lika von Palmay as well as her theatrical career. She contemplates a foreign tour, which includes a visit to England.
