The Japanese army is equipped, or
ganized and drilled like a European
-army and many of its offlcers have
received their education in European
countries. Conscription was intro
duced Into Japan in 1S74 and the regu
lations now in force rrere adopted in
1883. "Every male citizen between the
ages of 17 nd 40 years owes military
service, -which is given three years in
fthe active army, lour rears in the first
reserve, five years in the territorial
varmy and eleven years in the national
,army of the second reserve. For the
year 1801-02 the budget provides for
13 divisions or 21 brig-dss of infantry,
each brigade composed of two regi
ments cf three battalions each. The
cavalry comprises 17 regiments or 51
squadrons. The artillery has 19 regl-
. tnents or.144 field and mountain bat
teries. The engineers have at, present
23 companies and will soon have 39.
The Army Service Corps has 13 bat
talions of two companies, with one
battalion (three companies) of tele
graph troops. Besides the 13 divisions
of the Infantry there are three regi
ments of coast guards and two( bat
talions of foot artillery and a special
brigade of four battalions of infantry,
cavalry, artillery and engineers (the
Yeeso Brigade). The aggregate is
S,116 officers and 135,533 men on a
peace footing. The war strength is
, 392,220 men and 1,098 guns, the re
serves excluded. When it is remem-
bered 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 Pacific is formidable.
Tennessee now has 1,445 names on
its State pension roll of old soldiers,
and the total amount paid to them in
the last year was $149,220. No more
names can be added unless the Legis
lature increases the appropriation. The
pensioners are divided into three class
es: the first receive $300 a year each,
the second $200 and the third $100.

for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore nands,
for baby rashes, itchings, and chafings, in the form of baths
for annoying irritations and inflammations, or too free or offen
sive perspiration, in the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses,
