There exists a very general preju- 4ice among the young women of to- day against the Implication of senti- ment, possibly because they do not, or they! believo the world does not, make a distinction between sentiment and sentimentality. In our great-grandmother's days, on the contrary, It was the desirs of every young woman to have It thought that her heart was a very well of sentimon- tal feeling, and Thackeray's Blanche Amory, who embalmed her somewhat gelatinous feelings in poems, which she christened her “tears,” and the earlier Lydia Langulsh, of Sheridan's time, were nearer character studieg than carl- eatures of the sentimental simpleton of thelr respective. eras. Perhaps Sheridan had more to do with the decline of sentiment than any other single man.

But Surface was really only a man of sentiments, florid, blatantly insincere—not of senti- ment—and In this case bétwoeen the use of the plural ‘and singular lies all the difference in the world. There are women as well as men of sentiments’ to-day. And it 1s to these flighty, hyatertoal, inaincere persona the word sentimental owes the comparative isrepute into which it has fallen.

By Martin Green. Petropaviovsk Incident Is in Line with Russian Sea Tactics. SRE,” sald the Cigar Store Man, “that Admiral Togo says that one vf his mines blew up the Petropaviovsk.” “Ite a cinch that something blew up the Petropaviovek,” replied the Man Higher Up, “but swhether it was a Japanese mine, a Russian mine or the galley will probably not be marked up for true until the war is over, Despite the Japanese claims, the Russians insist that they blew themselves up. Byvidently they, don’t want to put any crimps in their record. “So far as the news despatches keep us wise the Japanese guns haven't killed anything yet but a fow Chinamen, but the Russians have lost a lot of ships and men through accidents. I've heard of prize-fighters making & scream after they were knocked out that i6 was a chance blow, but I never heard of the samo fighter making thé claim more than once. The Russians are claiming chance blows for every time they take the count, all of which seems to show that they are bum sallors. “The Japs are crafty scrappers on the water, and Togo seems to have the enemy on the run. Whenever one side in a fight makes a bluff and the other side, hold- ing a weaker hand, tries to call it there is bound to be doings. Togo sent in a lot of weak cruisers toward Port Arthur for a bluff, and Makaroff went out to call. When he found out that he had overplayed himself and scooted back for the harbor he hit something or something hit ‘him, and there were 700 more Russian heroes in about three minutes. “It would be interesting to know how many former Yankee man-of-war valets there are in Togo’s command. On board a battle-ship the Japanese servant is a star, and probably thousands of them have done time in our navy. The Jap is imitative, and it is not unlikely that the valets and cooks and walters who have served our officers on the high seas were picking up a lot of stuff that is doing the Japanese navy good just now. The way the Japanese are handling Port Arthur is reminiscent of the blockade of Santiago, and undoubtedly Togo expects that if the Russians make a rush out they will run against what the Spanish Admiral got when he bucked up against Schley.” ; » “The Russians appear to be holding thelr own on ® }iand,” suggested the Cigar Store Man. ‘So far,” agreed the Man Higher Up, “they are to the good, but Manchuria is a mining country and if the Russian record holds it is only @ question of time until] the Russian soldiers are falling into the mines and ba- coming defuuct.” [FE CARIN EES OE “@OSPLEIS @ Rivne.
