CIVILITIES AT THE FRONT.
On Christmas Day Japanese and Rus
sians Agree to Suspend Fight
That All May Feast. <
A Japanese officer serving ou
the Sluiho has a strange aud inter
esting story to tell of intercourfli )
aud civilities between the two
armies.
The Japanese beiug desirous o
conveying to the Russians news of
the fall of Port Arthur , volun
teers were invited to carry the let- r
ters. Two non-commissioned of
ticers and two privates undertook
the task. They rode out toward
the enemy's lines with the inten
tion or delivering the letters di
rectly into the hands of the Rus
sians , instt.'ad of depositing them
at some midway point , as had been
the custom hitherto. There was ,
however , great danger that this
new method might bo fatal to the
little party. (
But they rode off stonily to with
in a thousand meters of the ene
my's outpost , waving white hand
kerchiefs. The Russians did not
fire , and the Japanese went
steadily on. When they were
only about 30 or 40 yards away , a
party of Russians lay down in fir
ing positions , but still the ser
geants and soldiers rode on , ener
getically waving their white flagn.
Presently the Russians motioned
them to lay down their arms ,
thinking they had come to surren
der. The Japanese , however , regardless
gardless of risk , pushed on to
within hand-shaking distance.
Then the Russians saw that they
carried several bottles of wine j * ,
and boxes of cigars. On the latter '
was inscribed in big letters : "To
morrow will be your Christmas
day. Wo shall not attack if you
do not. Drink and smoke to your
heart's content and have a good
time. "
Atfirst the Russians did not wish
to accept the presents , but when
they read the hearty sentences
written on the boxes in their own
language , they were much over
come , and there ensued an ex
change of the friendliest greet
ings.Then
Then the visitors handed in
their letters and spoke of the fall
of Port Arthur , the news of which
was received with profound din
couragement. "There is no fur
ther object in the war , " said the
Russian soldiers. Eager ques
tions were asked about Gen. Stoes
scl , and the men were much inter
ested to hear he shortly would bo
on his way home. The Japanese
then presented the Russians with
some pictorial post cards showing
how well Russian prisoners wore
treated in Japan. ' 4.
Finally the four men rode away
in safety with the rousing cheera
of the grateful enemy ringing in
their ears.
THE BOOTMAKER IN CHINA
Common People Very Harely Wear
This Sort of Footwear Cus
toms in the North.
Boots are only worn in China
by officials , servants , soldiers ,
sailors , and special hob-nailed
boots , occasionally in wet weath
er , by the common people. The
universal form of foot-covering is
a shoe , while coolies and the
poorest classes have to content
themselves with straw or leather
sandals , or go barefoot. Women's
shoes are made at home and , ex
cept in isolated cases in Shanghai ,
are never exposed for sale in
shops. This remark does not ap
ply to the peculiar form of shoe
worn by Manchu women , which is
perched on a sort of small stilt. In
the north , during the winter
months , the ordinary boot or shoe
is often wadded or lined with
sheepskin , and of late years reproductions -
ductions of Chinese boots and *
shoes in india rubber have been
imported from the United State *
and Germany , and found favor
with Chinese at the treaty ports.
