JAPANESE CEAlLDkEN.'

One of the first lessons presented to a
foreign teacher in Japan is the reason Of
the great apparent happiness and light
heartedness of Japan children. One may
walk for hours through the streets of
Toxic and scarcely ever hear child's cry
of distress. Four principal causes of this
superiority of the children of Japan over
those of other nations have been suggested
by on English lady resident there: They
are worthy of the att ntion of the teachers
at home. The style of clothing, loose and
yet warm, is far more comfortable than the
dress Of our children. Japanese children
are much more out in tie open air and
sunshine. The absence of furniture, aud,
therefore, absence of repeatedly given in
structions mot tortouch." The thick, soft
mating, forming at once the carpet and
beds of all Japanese houses, and the raised
Intel, on to which the children may clam
ber as they grow strong, constitutes
the very beau ideal of an infants play
ground.
Children in Japan are much petted with
ont being canriciously thwarted. A ehild

Nine. Douglass, who had been patient
in the Kings County Asylum for the In
sane, at Flatbush, N. Y, for twenty-five
years, died recently. All her affections
were centered in cat, which for six years
had been her constant companion, and to
which she chung almost to the minute of
of her death. She had spent the twenty
five years of her life in the asylum rear
ing cats, taking kitten before it was old
enough to feed itself, and beginning to feed
it with a spoon. She would not allow her
pet to take morsel of food which she did
not give it from a spoon, and the result
was that the cats she raised learned to eat
only from her hands. After one cat died
her attendants would at ,ence provide her
with another kitten. She dotted on her pet
animal as though it was child, and called
it Louise, Marie, Lizzie, Victoria, and
nearly every name that is used for girls
Her last pet was a very large white cat
which at her death weighed twenty-six
pounds. She stuffed its mouth with food
whether it would eat or not and kept it
exceedingly fat. After she died the cat
was as helpless, as motherlsss infant,
and some of the other patients adopted it,
and continued to feed it as Nine Douglass
had done.

chum boarded with me and enjoyed it as
myself. l had been paying 10 cents for
milk, but we found where it could be
had for 8, and 50 saved or cents day.
For January our whole expense for board
was $l5 81, or cents less than 25 cents
a day apiece. For twenty-One days in
February, until l left the city, our whole
expense was SO 5S, or 8 cents less than
% cent a day apiece. There was no rea-
son why we could not have con-
tinued to board at these rates. We
had plenty of everything we wanted.
During the winter we ate nearly two and
a half barrels of apples includ I'd in the
above figures" He also cites other cases
among the medical students of equally
cheap living, among them that of gen
tleman and wife, both of whom were at
tending medical lectures and whose whole
expenses for board, washing and other in
cidentals for the two were less than $5
per week.

ANCIENT BUILDINGS.

Some have asserted that no buildings
sufficiently capacious to hold such multi
tude of people, could be constructed SO as
to rest chiefly upon two pillars; but this is
a mistake, for Pliny mentions two theatres,
built by Curio, of amazing dimensions and
made of wood. They we're SO contriyed
that each of them was made to depend upon
one hinge This led Pliny to censure the
madness of the people, who would venture
into place for their pleasure, where they
sat on such an uncertain and unstable seat;
for if that hinge had given way the slaugh-
ter would have been dreadful. Shaw sup
poses the temple of Dagon to be of the
same kind with the ancient sacred inclos-
ures, surrounded in part, or altogether,
with some plan or cloistered buildings. He
says that palaces and courts of justice in
those countries are built In this fashion;
and upon their festivals and rejoicings q
great quantity Of sand is strewed upon the
area for the wrestlers to fall upon, while
the roof of the cloisters round about is
crowded with spectators. He mentions
having often seen several hundreds of peo-
pie amused in this manner upon the roof
of the dey's palace at Algiers, which has an
advanced cloister over against the gate of
the palace, made in the fashion ofa large
penthouse, supported only by one Or two
contiguous pillars in the front, or else in
the centre. Sampson must have been in
the court or area below, and upon a sup
position that in the house Of Dagon was a
cloistered structure of this kind, the pulling
down the front or centre pillars which sup
ported it, must have occasioned the
catastrophe which happened to the +Philis-
tines.

IT is passing strange that vigorous
young republic like France should retain
in its service man in his dotage, or a
lunatic. Old Marshal Canrobert was
sent to Rome to represent The republic
at the funeral of Victor Emanuel $4,000
was appropriated for his expenses On
the completion of his mission he returned
to the Treasury So, 400 of the amount as
being in excess of his expenses, saying
that if any stealing was to be done he
wasn't the man to do it. France was
astonished, office holders everywhere are
thunderstruck. The precedent is regard
ed as dangerous one by all that numer-
Ous class of patriots everywhere who
have the handling of the public or other
peoples money.
