Kite Flying in Japan.

OF all the sports at which the boys in ia
afford the most fun and the most enjoy
mtnt. Japanese kites are not plain coffin
shaped bits OF tissue paper, such as Ameri-
can boys fly. They are made of tough
paper stretched on light frames of bamboo,
and Of all shapes-square, oblong, or oval.
Bhey are also made to initiate wild ami
mails. [ have often seen a whole mena-
gerie in the air. There were crying babies,
boys with arms spread out, horses, fishes,
bats, hawks, crows, monkeys, sn;kes, dra-
CONS, besides ships, carts and houses.
ACROSS and behind the top of the kite a
thin strip Of whale-bone is stretched
which huns, buZzes, or sings high in air
like a hurdy-girdy or a swarm of beetles.
When the boys OF a whole city are out in
kite time, there is more music in the air
than is delightful. The hawks and crows,
and other birds give these real counter
feits g wide berth. In my walks. 1 often
was deceived when looking up, unable to
tell at first whether the moving black spot
in the air was paper, or a real living crea-
ture, with beak. claws, and feathers.
The japanese boys understand we'll how
to send messengers" to the top of the
kite, and how to entangle each others
kites. When they wish t, they can cut
their rivals string and send their proud
prize futtering to the ground. To do this,
they take about ten feet of the string near
the end, dip it in glue and then into pow
dered bits of glass, making q multitude Of
tiny blades as sharp as a razor, and look
ing, when magniGed, like the top of a wall
in which broken bottles have been set to
keep off climbers. When two parties of
boys agree to have a paper wal neal the
clouds, they raise their kites and then at
tempt to cross the strings. The most skill
full boy saw off, with his glass saw, the
cord of is antagonist.
; The usual size Of a kite in Japan is two
feet fquare, but often fourfeet; and Ihave
seen many that were six feet high. OF
course, such a kite needs very heavy cord,
| which is carried in a basket Or on q big
stick. They require a man. or a very
strong boy, to raise them, and woe betide
the small urchin who tries to hold one in a
stiff breeze ! The humming monster in
the air will drag him off his feet, pull him
over the street, or into the ditch, before he
knows it.. Tie such a kite to a dogs tail
and no japanese canine could even turn
! round to bite the string. If the govern
ment would allow it, boys and young mer
! would make kites as large as an elephant

HAPPINESS.
BY MAY REED CROWELL.

They were as unlike as one could mag
inc two girls to be-Maude Trevanien, tall
and stately as a lily. with a naughty way
of carving her head, and her low, refined
voice. that for worlds she would not have
heard above a certain well-regulated. aris-
t~ocratic pith-a.handsome girl with black
ewes and pale, ivory complexion, contrast
ing superbly with the curving, scarlet lips
and inky black hair; that was arranged
always in q becoming and stylish Way-a
way that the country girls initiated III vain
SO far as the effect was concerned.
Standing in the open doorway OF the
Horton farmhouse, where she had been a
s'boarder'' since the first blossoms had be-
gun to be showered, like a rain of fragrant
snow On the velveJy grass, Maude Trevanl-
en- made a striking contrast, in her young,
proud strength and pulsiag vitality, to the
tiny little thing sitting SO demurely, SO
quietly. Oh the lowest step OF the p-aZza-a
slight fragile girl. with pale. delicate skin,
like the petals Of a tea-rose, with big, sor-
rowful eyes of liquid gray-gray such as
one seldom sees, with warna, bronze lights
in their grave, wistful depths; and soft,
fiossy hair, like a chlld's.
Jessamine herself was SO like a child
that her eighteen years OF dellcate glrlhood
seemed almost a dream to look back upon
to that time when she was left, a moth
erless baby, on the hands of the landlord
of the little inn, where a geutle-voiced,
sad-eyed woman, herself scarce more than
a eirl, had laid down her own life, and
given to the mercieS of utter strangers this
little wait, who, from that hour when the
dying mother had whispered Call it Jes-
samiae.' to tie midsummer day when she
sat Oh tie farmhouse steps, looking up
into Maude Trevanien's face, had known
no home but Horton farm. no parents ex-
cept the b%ig-souled, ro~ugh-voiced farmer
and his gentle, blue-eyed little wife, whose
heart was equally divided between Jessie
and her own one child-big, stalwart,
handsome John, who was heir to all the
wealth of the estate. and who lorded it al
ready over everybody, after his own joyous
frank, CHEEKY way, for which everybody
from Jessamine clear up to Miss Trevani
en-, adored him.
Jessamine was sitting very demurely and
quietly OF the lower step OF the porch thai

e BABY At SCHOOL.

The baby has gone to school, ah me!
What will the mother do,
With never a call to button, or pin,
Or tie a little shoe?
How can she keep herself busy all day
With her little ''hindering thing away?
Another basket to fill with lunch.
Another 'good-by'' to say,
And the mother stands at the door to see
Her baby march away;
And turns with a sigh that is half relief,
And half, & something akin to grief.
She thinks OF a possible future morn
When the children. one by one.
Will go from their home out into the world
To battle with life alone,
And not even the baby be left to cheer
The desoiate home of the future year.
She picks up garments here and there,
Thrown down in careless haste:
And tries to think how it would seem
II nothing were dis placed;
If the house were always still as this,
How could she bear its loneliness?
But mothers have no time to dream
OF future gifts or JOYS;
She's very sure that night win bring
Home hungry girls and boys.
So casting useless fears away,
She labors cheerfully all day.

THE FOLLOWING VERY CLEVER ana su-
blimely impudent dodge was some time
since adopted by q Partisan thief: A lady,
entering her apartment. discovered that q
man was beneath her bed. With much
presence of mind, she exclaimed: ooh,
dear, what a bore; forgot my parcel after
all and presently left the room, locking
the door. The thief looked out of the win
dow. and saw there was no escape that
way, and so he proceeded to undress him
self and get into the bed. Before long a
kew turned in the door, and a voice came
from the bed, as the lady, accompanied by
an officer of police. entered, asking "Why
what's all this about ?' Then, as they APP
preached the bed, he exclaimed 'Ah, hah !
I see how it is. Madame is tired OF me, is
she, and thinks she'll be rid Of me in this
way? Well, well, I'll CO." In vain the
lady Indignantly protested, and demanded
his arrest. The officer thought that it
would be useless, under the circumstances
to deta;n him, and he was soon out OF bed
and away.
