The Fire Law OF Japan.

The seve rity with which persons in
Japan are punished who have the mis-
fortune to be burned out is stated rs
follows: IL the house is unoccupied
and is accidentally set on fire, the per-
son through whose carelessHess the
fire is started receives ten days. i'm
prisonment with hard labor; if il is i'll
habited and the fire be produced by the
proprietor, then he Is punished with
twenty days; If the fire spreads to other
houses the sentence is forty days, and
when anybody is killed thereby. one
degree heavier; but if the person killed
is relative of the first degree. the
punishment is one hundred days; if a
temple, from sixty days to one year,
but ten years are inflicted if it happens
to be one of the great temples of Isle.
or in the precincts of the Imperial
Palace. Ifa robber sets fire uIinten-
tionally to house, he is punished with
at least, three years imprisonment
with hard labor. Deeapitation awaits
incc ndiaries, ten years penal servitude
an attempt at arson; the punishment
beiug mitigated if the would-be in
cendiary is a servant who has Just re-
ceived sharp rebuke, or if the at
tempt be made on an uninhablted
dwelling. If man sets fire to his own
house, ninety days, but if the fire
spreads to houses in the neighborhood,
two years and a half; and penal servi-
tude for life is inflicted If the offender
profits by the opportunity of the fire to
purloin goods or property.

Jack.

Who says | wear night caps? Never :
Why, haven't worn one since last
Sunday. Jack hasn't, either. And you
won't catch us lying on night-cap
again as long as we live, you just see if
we doi
Jacks lazy old dog. He has his
good traits, you know; he's good ma
turned and steady, and an excellent
watch dog; still, must say that he has
grown very lazy and fat the last year.
But then he's no longer as young as he
once was. However, don't think he's
quite old enough to begin to wear
night-caps. don't believe that Jack
felt very well Sabbath morning. Per-
haps lac was suffering from one ofthos5
severe Sunday headaches some people
are subject to. At any rate it was
evident that he did not intend to go to
church with us, so we went off to
service AMI left Mr.. Jack stretched out
at full length in the shade, with both
eyes closed good and tight.
Who says that haven't the sweetest,
the dearest, the most mischievous little
nieces in the whole world: Ask Jack,
if you doubt me. He knows their WAYS.
But the eldest is only just seven, and
both have blue eyes and long golden
curls, and, therefore, having beauty
and youth on their side, they are apt to
escape the scolding and punishment
they so richly deserve.
Who says Jack doesn't look well in
my clothes? You just ought to have
seen Kin. Minnie pinned my very
best red flannel balmOral tight around
him, and then thrust his paws through
the sleeves of my freshly ironed ruffled
white muslin dressing saeque, while
my especial pet, May, tied under his
chin my prettiest night cap. And that
wicked old Jack stood perfectly still,
winking away with those big eyes OF
his, as though he enjoyed the joke, too.
Who says our minister breaches long
sermons? Why, ] heard every word
Once, though, | thought of poor Jack
as he lay in the shade fast asleep. Not
that | envied him, not that my eyes
would keep closing, but
Who says Jacks heather old dog?
He walked straight into church, and
up the front aisle, and into my pew,
and lay down at my feet, and gazed up
in my face with his pathetic dark eyes,
as though asking pardon for wearing
my very best night cap to meeting. And
my pretty red skirt was all spattered
with mud, and my beautiful sacque
was dreadfully wrinkled, and l only
hope that Jack will not feel obliged to
put on so much style the next time he
ventures inside Of church.
Who says people laughed? do.-i
