Gt the present times in all parts of their
land to which Western civilization has not
yet reached. And this is the more re-
markable when we ore assured that the in
land inhabitants of very few coun.
tries travel about as much as the
Japanese. In every shire of England aro
to be found elderly people who have nevei
explored beyond a twenty-mile radius
from their own doors, much l,ss paid o
visit to the metropolis; but in japan busi-
ness, and above all, religion, demands that
all sorts and conditions of people should at
certain times be travellers for no mean
order, For instance, it is incumbent on
every Japanese to make pilgrimage at
least once during his lifetime either to the
holy mountain Futiyma, or Oyama or to
the sacred shrines of Isle; and with many
families this pilgrimage becomes annual
duty-failing Which, misfortune is certain
to happen. Moreover, as the japanese are
perhaps the most superstitious people in
the world, their belief in the efficacy of
certain mineral springs to cure diseases, in
the virtues of certain shrines and temples,
in the good results attendant on visits to
certain festivals, takes them frequently
from home, and enables them to see FIR
more of the outside world than their
homely manners and customs warrant the
visitor in believing. Yet, although they are
anything but stay-at-home race, and al
though for centuries they have possessed
civilization to which the civilization of our
Elizabethan age is barbarous mist, there
is scarcely road in the empire worthy of
the name. Until quite recently, the Tocai-
do--the great artery communicating be-
tween the eastern capital Toxic Cor Yedo)
md the wester capital Kiyoto-was utterly
unfit for carriage traffic, and at certain
points even for the passage of horses; andto
this day carriages can only proceed for acer-
tain length, beyond which recourse must be
had to the primitive native modes of con.
veyance.-B Belgauia.

TEEE INDIAN POET KING,

mountain of Tescosingo, famous in Aztec
days as being the. pleasure garden and re-
treat of the Indian poet king, Nezahuaco.
volt. From Texcoco the trip is wildly pic.
turesque and grandly beautiful The curl.
ously constructed bath of Nezahuacoyolt is
cut from solid block of granite overhane-
ing the brow of the hill. The rock has
smooth surface several yards square, and
dropping from it's centre is circular basin
some three or four feet deep and dozen
or more in circumference. Out of one side
is cut seat for the accommodation of the
bather, while rising from the surface, lit
tie back, is another, having perfect chair
form, with rest on one side for the arm.
Protecting the other side of this is wall
part of the same rock-into which seats
have been cut, and various little inches in
the form of miniature steps, which might
have been used by the old Indian monarch
rs receptacles for his toilet paraphernalia.
Following along the still well preserved
path, we came to chamber cut into the

the floor being strewn with debris. At the

A VOLUTlONEZlNG TElREAT.

Jenkinson was the man who entered the
complaint. He was q young merchant,
and had married the daughter of an old
merchant, and said daughter was inclined
to be headstrong and independent, plainly
giving her liege lord to understand that she
should be her own mistress and do as she
pleased.
Jenkinson' regarded this as an outrage,
and in the plentitude of his indignation he
betook himself to his wfe's father, and
there entered complaint, deep and bitter,
against the fair recusant, and, unfortu-
nately, in his blundering he more than half
intimated that the girl had not been
brought up as she ought to have been. But
the old man betrayed no ill-feeling toward
his son-in-law.
s'Did the vixen say she would do as she
had mind to 2"
"Yes, SIR"
"And she makes you generally uncom-
comfortable?"
''She does, indeed, SIR"
Goodness me What ingratitude! And
only last week gave .her that beautiful
set of rubies."
II know, it SIR"
"Jenkinson, I paid $1,000 for those
stones and the setting"
81 should say they were cheap at that"
$50 they were, 80 they were, and
thought they would make her so happy and
SO good. But l have plan in my mind.
1 shall put up with no more reports of her
shortcomings. She thinks she will inherit
fat piece of property from her old father;
but she may find herself mistaken. I have
given her the rubies, but will give her
nothing more until 1 know that she has
mended; and if hear another word of her
wifulness-if l hear another word Il will
scratch her name from my will and leave
her but lesson on behavior. If she trou-
bles you any more, you can tell her what
say; and be sure mean it. 1t is time she
should allow her old father to rest in peace.
A month later, and the old merchant
asked his daughter how she fourished al
home.
ooh, grandly!" she cried. "You Wont
believe how good and kind James is. lie
isn't cross any Inore at all.
The old man nodded with satisfaction.
His threat had its effect.

A DAY GONE.

A noteworthy spot is Chatham, Island,
lying off the coast of New Zealand 1t is
one Of the habitable points of the globe
where the day of the week changes. 1t is
just in the line of demarkation between
dates. There, at high twelve Sunday noon
ceases, and instantly Monday meridian be-
gins. Sunday comes into a mans house
on the east side, and becomes Monday by
the time it passes out the western door.
A man sits down to his MONDAY dinner on
Sunday, and it is Monday noon before he
finishes it. There Saturday is Sunday,
and Sunday is Monday, and Monday be-
comes suddenly transferred into Tuesday,
1t is a good place for people who have
lost much time, for, by taking an early
start, they can always get day ahead on
Chatham Island. 1t took philosophers and
geographers long time to settle the puz-
zle of where Sunday noon ceased aud Mon
day noon began, with a man travelling
