For my Wiskers-Salnes for the hair,
only more taller.
For my Mushtach-Do, starch, glew
morter and solder"
When the barber he red it he was Just
delited, and he said to the Teller: "You
are the most sensible man wich has ever
setin this chair, yes indeed, I never see
a man of such good TASTE" 4.
IS And then the barber shafed the Teller,
and tole him all the news wicL he could
think, and never stopt tock1n, the barbe,

John MangerO,

A Japanese boy named John Mangero
was wrecked off the island of Nippon In
1910. He was rescued by Capt. White
field, of a New Bedford ship, and car
ried to Honolulu. from thence to the
United States. Capt. Whitefeld placed
him in school at Fair Haven, Mass.
He made great proficiency in the Ian
guages aud other branches of study.
After leaving school, his enterprising
spirit lead him to California, thence to
the Sandwich islands; here he sought
the aid of the seaman's chaplain, the Rev.
Mr.. Damon, by which he secured a pas
sage to Japan.
After suffering various emoarrass-
ments through suspicion OF those in uu-
thority in his native land. he came to be
respected for his intelligence and in
tegrity.
He was sought for especially on &C.
count of his knowledge of American
affairs. When Commodore Perry visited
Japan with his feet, and made his ia
NOUS treaty by which the ports of the
country were opened to the world, John
Mangero was the medium of commune
ton.
he translated the communication
from the Japanese to English for the
commodore, and his reply into Japanese
for the Japanese government. In various
ways, by his influence in no small de.
gree, Japan has emerged from condi-
ton of medieval stagnation to that of the
magnificent enterprise she now exhibits.
John Mangero is now man of lead
ing influence in public affairs in Japan.
The partially the Japanese government
has manifested for the United States is
doubtless due in no small degree to him.

Our Holnestea adj.
BY PHOEBE CARY.

81 ! ~ = > = q . II s.
Our old brown homestead reared its walls
From the wayside aloof, sI
Where the apple boughs could almost cast
Their fruitage on the roof; r3,3 =; .. =
And the cherry tree 90 near it grew, -
Then when awake I've lain
In the lonesome mig hts and heard the Limbs
AS they creaked against the pane;
Ana tnose orchard trees; oh, those orchard
trees
I've seen my little brother rocked
In their tops by the summer breeze.
The sweetbrler upon the window sill,
Which the early birds made glad,
And the dark damask-rose by the garden fence
Were all the flowers we had.
I've looked at many flower since then,
Far brought, and rich and rare,
To other eyes more beautiful,
But none to me so fair;
For those roses brighton, those roses bright,
I've twined them with my sisters locks,
That are laid In the dust from sight.
We had a well, a deep old well,
Where the spring was never dry;
And the cool drops down from the mossy
We're falling constantly;
And there never was water half 80 sweet
As that in my little cup,
Drawn up the curb by the rude old sweep
Which my fathers hand set up;
And the deep old well-oh, that deep old WE'LL
remember yet the splashing sound
OF the bucket as it fell.
Our homestead had an ample hearth,
Where at night we loved to meet;
There our mothers voice was always kind,
And her smile was always sweet;
And there I've sat on my fathers knee
And watched his truthful brow,
With my childish hands in his raven hair
That hair Is silver now!
But that broad hearth's light-oh, that broad
hearth's light!
And my fathers look and my mothers smile,
They are in my heart tonight.

brings in six dirty steeltraps to amuse his
SICK sister, who grows worse under it,
and in his solicitude he straps his legs
fast to six feet of stills and stoops to en-

and dismay of his mother. He brings
little notes home from school, which he
tries to explain in favorable light, but
fails to convince his parents that it was
"only because Bill Wilson dropped his
slate on Abe Hennegan's toes and made
me laugh" He carves his awkward ini:

and she threatens his arrest. He goes to
to see "Humpty Dumpty" and comes
home and throws real brickbats at his
aunt, and Bridget is met with battering
blow from his head when she is bringing

home snare and de|usion. He tears
the comforts in more ways than one and
Sits the pillow-cases to match them.

The Speaker of the House has to keep

Horse Sense.

Apleasant story has just come to us
from the Cape of Good Hope. In GRAFT
Reinett, as in old Dutch towns in the
colony, there is, in the center of the place,
large market square, where the farmers,
traders and others, arriving with their
produce at any hour Of the day or night,
may "out-span' the oxen or horses from
their wagons, and turn the cattle out to
the "commonsge" to feed, while they
bivouac at their wagons, as is the wont Of
African travellers to do, until the eight
o'clock morning auction. An old horse
belonging to one of these parties had
wandered about in search of grass and
water-vainly, no doubt, for it was dur
ing the severe drought from which the
country is but now recovering. Coming
to the great bare market place, ana find
ing knot of men talking there, he singled
out one of them, and pulled him by the
sleeve with his teeth. The man, thinking
the horse might possibly bite, repulsed
him, but as it was not very roughly done
he returned to the charge, with the same
reception; but he was rersevering
animal, and practically demonstrated the
axiom that perseverance, gains the day"
for upon his taking the chosen sleeve for
the third time between his teeth, the own
er awoke to the idea that q deed Of kind
ness might be required of him; 90 putting
his hand upon the horses neck he said,
GAIL right, old fellow; march on The
horse at once led the way to . pump at

angle of 60 IL degrees north latitude,
between his knees, and cut the wires that
girt the cork. There was flash and q

he had been able to get only smell of

also save the cider, he turned the neck of

this policeman, and the stories he heard
from hlm, from Whicher. and from others
Of the Scotland Yard Brigade OF course,
in reading these, allowance must be made
for the self-glorifcation and overstate-
ment of half-educated people who were
telling OF their own achievements; but
probably the policemen did not venture
greatly to deceive Dickens, and their mar
ratives leave the impression of being, in
the main, true, or at least based on truth.
Very striking some of them are. Whicher

to find out, however, that the forger ad-
ded to his ordinary professional pursuit

judged that any one who had to do with
this trade would be certain to be tempted
by the chance of getting a neat gig and
a good horse cheap. The man fell into

, A Comedy of Errors.

A sOlOn of the Senate occupied the

As both are modest, elderly gentlemen,
we will call on Senator Bang and the
other Simon Bang. One has a modest
little attic, and the other a handsome

and march off.
As luck would have it the parcels con-

Senator Bang, and Senator Bang for s.
Bang, and so served the clothes. The
senator is simple-wayed old gentle.

suspectingly, while the clerk, thinking
the stuff he had selected made up far
better than he anticipated, did the same.
The result was the dignifed solon was
refused admission to the floor of the
House because Of his common appearance,
while the clerk doomed into gentleman.

years accepted him at once and named

But for the interference Of T1mme, the

resolved himself into a detective, the error
never would have be rectifed. AS it was
