Light-Heartedne of Japanese
Children.

One of the first lessons presented to a
the great apparent happiness and light
heartedness of Japan children. One may
walk for hours through the streets of
Toxic and scarcely ever hear a 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 an English lady resi-
dent there. They are worthy of the at
tention 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 the open air and sun
shine. The absence of furniture, and,
therefore, absence of repeatedly given
instructions ''not to touch.' The thick,
soft mating, forming at once the car
pet and beds of all Japanese houses, ,and
the raised Intel, on to which the child
may Chamber as it grows strong, consti-
tutes the very beau ideal of an infants
ground. Children are much pet
ted, without being capriciously thwart-
ed. A child is not cuffed one moment
and indulged the next. To these four
most suggestive reasons the writer
would add a fifth, which is, that Japan
ese character is so constituted as to
bring their elders into strong sympathy
with the little ones. 1t has been well
said that "Japan is paradise for ba-
bies,'' for YOU may see old and Young
playing together at the battle-door and
shuttle-cock in the streets; while on
holidays the national amusement of
men, women, and children is flying
huge paper kites. Puppet shows and
masquerades also have their votaries in
thousands, from among Doth sexes and
all ages.

WAR NEWS.

London reports of the 22d state that
IA fresh call of 30O, 1000 men will be ordered at
once by the Porte, and that the Russian ad-
vance will be resisted to the bitter end. If
the Russian armies can be held in check un-
til the new levy is modified, Turkey hopes
to be able to take the offensive, and expects
that England will come to her
assistance. The Servians have carried St.
Nicholas pass and invested Nicsics and Wild
din. The Russian forces have crossed the
Lom, and Rustchuk is said to be completely
surrounded. The Car has returned to st.
Petersburg where he was received with i'm
mense enthusiasm.
Drifting ice has torn away the bridge
stored for the present. On the oath the Ser
vians, after eight hours severe fighting, cap
tured Atpalanka, the Turks losing many
killed and prisoners. Erzeroum is almost
invested and the bombardment of the town
is imminent. The recent cold weather and
severe snow-stOrms have caused great dis
tress and loss of life around Bucharest Rus
sian Army Headquarters are shortly to be
transferred from Bogot to Selvi. The Rou-
manians will not cross the Balkans, but will
do garrison duty and cooperate with the
Servians against Widdin.
The Turkish transport steamer Me-
sina, with 200 troops on board, has been cap
tured by the Russian steamer Russland and
taken to Sebastopol.
Intelligence of the 28th is as follows !:
Operations of the Russian army at Rust
chuk are suspended by the snow, which is

Splitting the Weather.

About the 1st of December George
Bradley, of Hastings Street, traded a
COW and a revolver for cutter, and at
the same time he began to increase his
horse's daily allowance of oats. Mr..
Bradley had consulted the goose-bone,
the newspapers, the almanacs, and the
oldwomen, and all of them had predicted
an early winter and heaps of snow. He
imagined what dash he would cut on
the Avenue with that nobby cutter, and
he went to bed at night to dream that
an Indian was peltiug him with snow
balls. The days went by, the horse
grew fat, and-snow didn't come. Mr..
Bradley got mad-then got madder, and
when this last spell of slop came, he
made up his mind to have revenge on
the weather, and the weather-bureau
and all the rest of Detroit He got out
his horse and cutter, and rode up
snd down the street, mud
six inches deep. 1t was tough
pulling for the horse, and bad going for
the cutter, but Mr.. Bradley felt that he
was giving December the biggest kind
of spat between the eyes, and he en-
joyed himself. A crowd likewise enjoy
ed the spectacle, and it wasn't long be-
fore the sleigh-rider found himself coop
ed up on charge of disorderly conduct.
MIR. Bradley" began the Court as
the prisoner was brought out, 'sI shall
have to fac you So, but want this aud
ience and people of the State of Michi-
gan to distinctly understand that you
have my heartfelt sympathy. [ have to
wade around in the mud, | fall sker-
splat!' in the dope as I turn a corner,
and L no sooner put down my umberrel-
la than some ghoul goes off with it. [
hope you hurt the weather till it will be
crippled for life, but you must pay a
fine.''
Mr.. Bradley paid, and then went out
doors and went for the weather in a
way that made the mud fly ten feet high.
