Our Stray 8ook
Japanese Ingenuity.

a naval officer writing from Hong
Kong to the Philadelphia Ledger, relates
the following incident illustrative of the
ingenuity of the japanese in mechanical
contrivances
Before leaving Japan we saw a most
interesting display of : winter evening
amusement for children" One of our
Dutch friend had presented US with a
small box, containing what looked like
several hundred pieces of broom straw,
from three-eighths to an inch IN length
" Throw one of these in that cup Of hot
water" he said. We did as desired, and
it had no sooner touched the water than
1t expanded into a perfect representation
of Japeneso woman in full dress. An.
other proved to be very buffalo like
COW third was sword, and fourth
handsome walking cane. Throw in
dozen at time" said our friend. OF
course we complied, picking them up at
random, and all proved to be different.
There were houses, dogs, short tailed cats.
horses, trees, and flowers and | suppose
had we thrown in half Of the box. we
should have seen duplicates Of almost
everything. As it was, however. we curb
ed our curiosity, and divided the contents
of the box. and slowed them away in our
rooms for the purpose Of astonishing the
natives at home.

the heart fails to send the proper supply
of blood to the brain if the person is
erect, that blood will have to be thrown
up hill but if lying down, it has to be
projected horizontally, which requires
less power as is apparent.
If person swallows poison deliberate

vein has been severed, the blood would
have flowed in regular stream, and, on
the other hand, the tie should be applied

blood in the veins flow towards the heart,

a Terrible Cat Fight.

The following poem, from the San
Francisco Golden Era, is not only HON
eric in style, but complete in itself, for
it ends with the total humiliation of the
combatants
Con pine wood shed, in an alley
dark where scattered moonbeams sitting
through row of lettering chimmeys and
an awning torn and dropping, fell, strobe
back and forth. with stiff and tense
drawn muscle and peculiar tread, cat.
His name was Norval on yonder
neighboring she'd his father caught the
| cats chat came in squads from streets be-
You'd Dupont, in search Of food and
strange adventure.
Grim war he courted and his twisted
till, and spine upheaving in fantastic
curve, and claws distended, and ears fiat
ly pressed against head thrown back
deiantly, told of impending strife.
With eyes agleam, and screeching
blasts of war, and steps as silent as the
falling dew, young Norval crept along
the splintered edge, and gazed a moment
through the darkness down, with tail
awag triumphantly.
Then with an imprecation and a growl
perhaps an oath is direst vengeance
hissed-he started back, and, crooked in
body like letter S or like U inverted,
stood in fierce expectancy.
Twas well. With eye,balls glaring
and ears all aslant, and open mouth in
which two rows of fangs stood forth IL
sharp and dread conformity, slow up.a-
he II, HI
peared.
A dreadful tocsin Of determined strife
young Norval uttered, then with face
unblanched. and moustache standing
straight before his nose, and tail flung
wildly to the passing breeze, stepped
back in cautious invitations to the foe.
Approaching the other, and with prep.
arations dire, each cat surveyed the van
tage of the field. Around they walked,
with tails uplifted and backs high in air,
while from their mouths, in accents hiss,
ing with consuming rage, dropped brief
but awful sentences of hate.
Thrice round the roof they went in cir
Gle. each with eye upon the foe intently
bent then sidewise moving. as is wont
with cats, gave one long drawn terrific
yaw, and buckled in.
The fur flew. A mist of hair hung
DER the battle field. High Dove the din
of passing wagons rose the dreadful tu-
multi of the struggling cats. Sog came d
the eyes in frenzy, that to me, who saw
the conflict from window near, nought
else was plain but fiery stars that moved
in orbits most encentric.
An hour they struggled in tempetuous
might, then faint and fainter grew The
squall OF war, until all sound was hushed.
Fhen, Invent forth with lanthorn, and the
field surveyed. WHAT saw /?
Six claws-one ear-of teeth, perhaps
a handful 3; and save fur, nought else ex
cept a solitary tail. The tail was Nor.

will do without an ear"

superstitions of 'Ye Olden Time

contemporary. who seems to haze a
Denchant for setting off in a ludicrous
manner the weakness of our great great
grandsires, has noted down score or
more Of TIE superstitious notions of Ye
folks of ye olden time, which we give as
a matter Of some curiosity. Those of
our subscribers who design moving on
the 1st of April next, should remember
the Injunction in No. 10 of the series:
l. Whoever reads epitaphs loses his
memory.
2. Yarn, spun by girl under the age
OF seven years, possesses extraordinary
virtues. Linen made of it, furnishes the
best bandages for equity patients and
when wrought into garmerts is, forms a
complete coat Of mail-not only against
the bullet and dagger, but even against
the more formidable operations of witcl .
craft. Nay, the very yarn itself can. lie
be wound into unerring muskeI balls.
3. When a mouse gnaws gown, some
misfortune may be unprecedented.
4. then stranger enters a room, he
should be obliged to seat himself, were
it only for moment, as he otherwise
takes away the children's sleep with him.
5. The Growing of a hen indicates some
approaching disaster.
3. Whoever sneezes at an early hour,
either hears some news or receives some
present the same day.
7. Women who snw FAX seed should
during the process, tell some COMPOUNDED
lies otherwise the yarn will never bleach
white. a. l. this the origin Of t 9 phrase
white lies ~
8. Beggars' bread should be given to
children who are slow in learning to
speak.
g. When women arc stufTing beds, the
men should not remain in the house 9th.
erwise the feathers will come through
the ticks.

injurious to the child.
IL. If child less than twelve months
old be brought into cellar, he becomes
fearful.
II. The first tooth cast by a child
should be swallowed by the mother, to
insure new growth OF beautiful teeth.
13. A child grows up proud if suffered
to look into mirror while less than
twelve months old.
IA. To eat while a bell is tolling for
funeral causes toothache.
Is. The following are omens of death:
4 dogs scratching on the floor, or howl
ing in particular manner, and an owls
hooting in the neighborhood of the house
16. Buttoning a coat awry, or drawing
on stocking inside out, cause matters to
go wrong during the day.
II. White specks on the nails are lucky.
Is. He who has teeth wide asunder,
must seek his fortune in distant land.
10. He who proposes moving into
new house must send in beforehand bread
and new broom.
20. Domestic harmony must be pre-
served when washing day comes, in order
to insure fine weather, which is ndspen-
slble, as that ceremony is generally per-
formed out of doors.
81, When children play soldiers on the
roadside, it forbodes the approach Of
war.

In Memoriunl,

10 blest is the servant who follows his Lord
And walks here below, in the light of his word
For lin the false charms of the world are in vain,
While he seeks bright crown in the heavens to gain
No earthly Enjoyment can dampen his zeal;
He learns for the woes of the wretched to feel;
And when in the dark paths of ruin they stray,
He guides them on high to the portals of day.
That man in the kingdom of glory divine,
Like the bright stars forever in radiance shall shine
Like the sun in his noon-tide of splendor above,
His spirit shall glow all immortal with love.
And thus in 'rapt vision, the sainted Romeyn
Methinks behold, on that heavenly plain,
Where clearer than crystal the pure waters flow,
And brighter than Eden, the flowers sweetly grow.
And there is that City whose charms ne er were told
Whose gates are of pearl and whose streets are Of
gold,
Which needs not the light of the sun through the day
For the Lamb is her light, and her shield and her
stay.
And there round the white, dazzling Throne of her
King
His praises the Angels eternaily sing
Their harps are all golden and sweeter their strains
Than those to the shepherds on Judeas plains
Their robes are all whittier than new-faen snow
And glitter like lightning in Heavens endless glow,
And their wirgs gently folded, more lovely appear
Than if ten thousand rain bows encircled the sphero
Our Father in Heaven, for Jesus dear sake,
grant that our souls from their sumbers may wake
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb who was
slain
That we, with thy servant, may roam that bright
plain.

Once on summers day,

To watch its frolic Llay;

That decked the carpet DER,
And seemed with childish wonder
Each object to explore.
A something on the instant
Its glad career arrests,
And earnestly It gazes where
A golden sunbeam rests;

And trustingly reached forth its hand
To feize the glittering prize.
And now is tiny fingers clasp

But, ah that hand unclose,
And to its earnest gaze
Reveals no gem Of beauty
No bright imprisoned rays!
And then the first Of many tears
Fell on the cherub face
The first sad disappointment
In lifes uncertain race!

He's Coming.

He's coming, the blushing rose
Whispers it low to me,
And the starlight hastens with it,
Over the twilight sea,
All trembling, the zephyrs tell me
On light winds hurrying past,
And my own heart, quickly beating,
Coming, coming at last.
The soft-lipped waves of the ocean,
Gathering at my feet,
Breeze born from the coral island,
Murmurs the secret sweet,
There's not dew-steeped blossom,
Or glistening orange tree,i
But furnish its leaves glee laden,
To bteathe this joy to NE.

Stealing through Tie air,
