Farmhouse Pets in Japan.

The Japanese people are very fond of pets. It is very rare to find house en- tirelv destitute of some favorite animal, from the costly '' ''cEin" (King Charles spanieD to the bob tailed cat that purrs near the tea kettle on the "hibachi," or fire box. Canary birds are quite com mon, and in place of something more rare, tiny bantam fowls are caressed and petted. Even "rain-frog," or tree toad, has been made child's darling, while the little water turtles with fringed tails are prized as rare objects of delight.
 In the country the boys of the family catch by trap or pit the wild animals on the hills, and tame them. flares are the most common creatures caught, and in a little box of pine wood, with an open front of bamboo cane, the little pet finds a home. It soon learns to runs about the house, and stands on it's hind legs to nibble bits of radish or Jumps of boiled rice from the children's hands Sometimes the farmers find bigger game in their snares, such as badgers and foxes. If the badger is young. or if the boys can find an old mothert bad ger nest. the little cubs can be easily tanned. If kindly treated. kept from dogs, end not provoked, they are quite harmless.
 But the big badgers.are very snappish, and their bites are dangerous.

Goethe and Schiller.

Goethe had dark brown hair and eyes. the latter large and almost preternatu- rally luminous. His complexion also was more olive than fair, the nose nearly Roman, but with a Greek breadth at the base, and sensitive dilating nostrilsi tue mouth and chin, on the sculptor's line, ample, but so entirely beautiful that they seemed smaller than their actual pro- portions. His face was always more or less tanned; he rarely lost the brand of the sun. In his later years 1t became ruddy and a slight increase of fullness effaced many of the wrinkles of age. Steler's portrait-now in the Goethe mansion painted when the poet was eighty, ex- presses an astonishing vital power. Preller once said to me: There never was such life in 90 old a mani If a cannon ball had suddenly grazed my head could not have been more startled than when heard of his death. felt sure that he would live to be l50 years oldw If Goethe Illustrates as scarcely any other poet (yet we imagine both Homer and Shakespeare to have pos sessed the same) the perfect accord of intellectual and physical forces, Schll- Ter is equally remarkable as an example of mind triumphing over incessant bodily weaknesses and torments. Dur ing fourteen years he never knew day of complete unshaken health. He was fair and freckled, with so delicate & skin that the slightest excitement of his blood blushed through it. His thin. ag- gravated, aquiline nose was so con- spicuous that he often laughingly re- ferred to it as the triumphant result of constant pinching and pulling during his school days. His chin was almost equally prominent, giving nim what his sister Christophine called ''a a defiant and spiteful under lip." His shock ot hair, not parting into half curls like Goethe's, but straight and long, was of a yellow brown hue, shimmering into red" as Caroline von WolZogan pOeticaliy says The picture of him touches our sympa- thies, as his bust or statue always does -perhaps because he represents suffer ing and struggle 50 palpabiy- Beside him Goethe seems to stand crowned by effortless achievement. But what a pair they areI Rietchefs great success in his statues lies in his subtle expression oi their noble friendship-Goethe's hard on Schiller's shoulder, and the laurel wreath which the hands of both touch, in such wise that you cannot be sure which gives or which takes, symbolize reality far too rare in the annals of literature.

Words of Wisdom.

Man proposes and woman often wishes that he wouldn't be so long about making up his mind.
 Sometimes words wound more than swords.
 Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.
 Youth looks at the possible; age at the probable.
 Report is quick traveller but an un- safe guide.
 A good book supplies the place of a companion. The first virtue is to restrain the tongue: he approaches nearest to per- feet self-restraint who knows how to be silent even though he is in the right. Narrow minded men, who have not g thought beyond the sphere of their owr outlook, remind one of the Hindot maxim: 4s The snail sees nothing but his own shell, and thinks it the grandes1 palace in the universe"

Curious Sten0graphic Blunders.

The New York State Stenographic association recently held convention at which one of it's members, MT. F. J. Morgan, read paper on the blunders in transcribing from shorthand, similarity of sounds usually producing those, especially if another than the original reporter produces the transcriD- tion In the official report of his paper appear these instances: Several years ago an eminent lawyer employed q ste nographer to take testimony in an lm- portant case. The transcribed minutes astonished him. A "patent," upon which much depended in the suit, was converted into a ''potentate; :" a "solld frame" was turned into an isolated farm :" the 't furnaces of this country " were seU down as "Fenians of this country;" "clerks and bar-tenders, D were made into clocks and barom- eters,'' and the question, '' Were you ln the habit of visiting the houseP" was written, Were you in the habit oi fastening the hoseP" An attorney asked female witness how she came to De employed by the plaintiff, and she answered: {" Isaw sign in the window, Female clerks wanted here. The blundering reporter rendered It: famlly color warranted here" minister preaciling sermon on the death of 3 gentleman named Samuel, quoted
 " And buds and blossoms in the dust
 He was delighted to read in the next issue of the paper: And buds ano blows Sam in the dust" An orator re- ferred to the different religious sects O, denominations going for one another throughout the country, and said: Here we have one sect prosecuting another, and was so reported, but the transcribel rendered it: " Here we have one sicl

Robinson Crusoe's Island.

Robinson Crusoe's Island is to-day a little paradise. Lord planted there on one of his voyages apples, peaches, grapes plums, straw berries and several kinds oi vegetables. The number of the latter was increased by q Scotch. the island in 1895. He was not little astonished to find hermit there, who had been on the island five years. On the second day he was not a little sur prised to see man emerge rom cIump of bushes and approach him. he looked upon him as Crusoe's successor, si- though he did not occupy the historical cave, having built himself hut of stones and sods. roofing Il with the straw of wild oats. As cooking utensils, he possessed only a single iron pot, the bottom of which one unfortunate day, had fallen out. The damage, he bad, however, the ingenuity to repair with wooden bottom, but now he was com pelled to place his pot in the ground and build fire around it, Fms man name was William Clark, and he came from London. He had few books, among them was q copy ot kob;nson Crusoe's adventurts and Cowpers poems. He called Douglas attention especially to . well-Fnown poem begin ming:

They describe the island as being in the highest degree sa, | lubrious and fruitful. On their arrival they found large flocks of goats, about thirty half-wild horses and some sixty asses. They brought with them cows; hogs, farming utensils, small boats and
 fishing tackle.-AppLeton' Journal.

FIogging an Indian.

A London (Canadal paper has an ac- couut of the f1ogging received by an Indian defender. The stoicism with which the Indian took..his severe punish ment was something wonderful The account says:
 Doxtater was brought out. He is muscular, heavy-set Indian. and had & laugh on his face. His back was barred, his wrists were strapped to the upper parts of the arm of the triangle and his knees and ankles to the lower part. throwing his back out. The only sign of nervousness manifested was quick look at the cat-o-nine tails which was in the hand of a stout expert, who hsd been a drummer in the Twenty-thIrd British regulars. The cat had 8 short handle and nine thongs of hard, heavy cord a yard long, with nine knots m each. At the command of the sherin the cat was fourished around the whip per's head with quick jerk, whistled through the air, and fell with sharp thud over the left shoulder-blade. mak- inc large blue marks.

 We hold our dear ones with firm, strong grasp, We hear their voices, look into their eyes; And yet, betwixt us in that clinging clasp

 In olden days the burgesses of Grimsby were wont to decide which among them should be mayor by very odd process.

He whoe bunch of hay was first eaten by the calf was pronounced most worthy of the mayor alEy. and installed into office accord~ inglv. .....-.--,-.---..
