Japanese Robes

Anon. SOME very elegant specimens OF
japanese art showing skilliul workmanship
are a few superb wrappers or rather dress
ing robes. Of quilted silk These very
rich garments come in the most delicate
and fashionable shades Of mauve, blue,
dove, helio,rope, etc, and are lined
throughout with 4 silk Of some contrasting
color. These are waddsd with 4 soft aud
light japanese product resembling wool,
or with raw silk. makiag these double
gowns very comfortable for winter wear.
Their chief attraction, however, lies in the
exquisite beauty Of the embroidery work
ed upon them. One robe especially no
,iccaJle was og creamy pearl shade, With
an embroidery Of apple blossoms aud
sweet briar ruses. Another Of rich Ha-
vaua brown silk, embroidered With white
Marguerite lilies. etc, was much admired.
Crave blues aud grays are made brilliant
with brightly -hued flowers snd leaves IN
exact copy of Natures own royal handi-
work. But those seem most attractive
which display the characteristic and un,
misiakatle japanese figures Of rushes,
cranes, fishes, dragons, palms, dainty aud
brillian, butterflies and golden aud black
bees. Tke plain surfaces Of these 'ia'ed
silks are made gorgeous With these bright
designs dotted at intervals over the gar
meau 10 small irregular patterns, thus
preventing their briliaaey from degeasra.

de Bernard The worst charge against the
natives-a charge not neglected by their
accuser in the RepuJhque Frmacaise-is
that of cannibaism. While they had no
animals bigger than lizards or rats, they
were confirmed man-eaters. The pig,
when introduced to the island, exercised
his usual benign and civilzing influence.
Pork has taken the place, as a general rule,
of the "strange meat of former DAYS, and
a case is well known in which the lives of
captivcs have been spared when pig was
offered as ransom The usual way of
treating an enemy is to broil him on hot
stones en- papjIiotfe, with banana leaves for
a wrapping. At all times human flesh was
a rarity, ani the New Caledonian way of
describing a great victory is to declare that
'.there was plenty to eat aud to spare. even
for the women" \ chief of a large in
land clan AYERS that cannibalism is only
lawful between men Of different tribes.
Criminals are occasionally devoured by
order Of the executive. Their misdemean-
6rs put them outside the pale Of law.
We have not attempted to extenuate the
bad qualities Of the Kanekas. They are
not very industrious, brave or chaste, but
they are not ncedlessly cruel, they are coed
humored to their women and children,
they are contented and cheerful. Their
religion is not very highly organized, but
they have a confirmed belief in the exist
euee Of something suat a'jYsa p,aass, after
the death Of the body There are certain
men in most tribes who fall into frances,

Position Of Women in China.

Moung Edwin, a Burmese, who has
been educated in this country with the
view Of sending him as a Baptist mis-.
siouary to Burmah, lcctured lately in Bal
timore Speaking Of the deplorable con
dition Of woman in the East, owing mainly
to peculiar religious teachings, he says
"Girls in China are believed to have no
souls, and 10 kill them is not murder, and
therefore not to be punished. Where
parents are too poor to support the girl
children, they are disposed of in the fol-
lowing way At regular intervals an ap-
pointed officer goes through village and
collects from poor parents all the girl child
rcn they cannot care for, when they are
about eight days old He has two large
baskets attached to the ends of bamboo
pole and slung over his shoulder Six
infants are placed in each basket, and he
carries them to some neighboring village
and exposes them for sale Mothers who
desire to raise wives for their sons buy
such as they may select The others are
taken to the government asylum, of which
there are many all through the country.
If there is room there they are taken in,
if not they are drowned.

Baby is Dead.

Baby is dead r' Three little words
passing along the line copied somewhere
aud soou forgotten. But after all was
quiet again leaned my hand upon my
head and fell into deep rsycrie of all that
those words may mean.
Somewhere dainty form, still and
cold, unelasped my mother's arms tonight.
Eyes that yesterday were bright and blue
as skies of June dropped O-night beneath
white lids that no voice can ever raise
again.
Two soft hands, whose rose-leaf fingers
were wont to wander lovingly around
mothers neck and face, loosely holding
white buds, quietly folded in cofhned
rest.
Soft lips, yesterday rippling with laugh
ter, sweet as woodland brook falls, gay as
trill of forest bird, tonight uuresponsive
to kiss or call of love.
A silent home-the patter of baby feet
forever hushed-a cradle bed Impressed.
Little shoes half worn-dainty garments
shoulder knots of blue to match those
eyes of yesterday, folded with aching heart
away.
A tiny mound, snow covered in some
quiet graveyard.
A mothers cropping touch, in uneasy
slumber, for the fair head that shall never
again rest upon her bosom. The low sob,
the bitter tear, as broken dreams awake to
sad reality. The hopes of future years
wrecked, like fair ships that suddenly go
down in sight of land.
The watching of other babies, dimpled,
laughing, strong, and this one gonel The
present agony of grief, the future empti-
ness of heart, all held in those three little
words, Baby is Dead y
Indeed, it is well that we can copy and
soon forget the words so freighted with woe
to those who receive and send them. And
vet it cannot harm us now and then to
give tender thought to those for whom
our careless pen stroke is preparing such a
weight of grief

sulky People.

Did it ever occur to you that sulkiness
in its finished state is a rare accomplish
nent? 1t implies the possession of va
Iied gifts, among others that Of complete
mastery Of the five senses. 1t is for a
man to be blind when it is desired that he
should open his eyes, dumb whenever
words would be acceptable, deaf to all al
lurements or submission, insensible to
every effort at Cancellation. Ii can create
gloom, and having created it, it can per-
petuate and deepen until it becomes a
chngiDg atmosphere as unwholesOmeas ma
laria. 1t comprehends an absolute control
over the facial muscles, so that no softness
or sign of yielding, not ripple of u smile or
an expression of pleasure, may replace
even for a moment the sallen apathy or
illuminate the habitual scowl Of the con-
frmed sulker In q word, it is the faculty
of stimulation to such degree that per-
son shall appear to be blind, deaf, dumb,
stupid, paralyzed, i'll or dead, whenever aud
for as long as he chooses. What better
illustration of misdirected energy can be
given than that shown by the sulky person.

Some time ought to be taken at home
to talk with the children about what they
are learning and doing at school. Such
talks are what children naturally expect
and ike. Your children are not turned
away to school to shift wholly for them
selves, or to be taken care of wholly by
the teacher, without any thought of your
own for them. You ought to know what
they study and how they get on. No
matter if you find out something about
their plays and playmates, and the way
they spend their recess. No matter either
if the teacher finds out that you know
something of what is going on in and about
the school house, and if they come to un-
derstand that with out your keeping any
close watch upon them, you have an eye
at least for all the good work they are
doing.

LITTLE CHILDREN.
BY MARY HowITr.

BY MARY HOWITr.
Sporting through the forest wide;
Playing by the water side:
Wandering DER the hesthed fells,
Down within the woodland dells;
All among the mountains wild;
Dwelleth many a little child;
In the Baron'S hall of pride;
By the poor mans dull freSiGe:
Mid the mighty, mid the mean;
Little children may be seen;
Like the flowers that spring up fair,
Bright and countless everywhere.
In the fair isles of the main;
In the deserts lone domain;
In the savage mountain glen;
Among the tribes Of swarthy men;
Where soe'er a foot has gone;
Where soe'er the sun hath shone;
On league of people ground
Little children may be found.
Blessings on them, they, in me
Move kindly sympathy;
With their wishes, hopes and fears,
With their laughter and their tear;
With their wonders so intense,
And their small experience.
Litt.e children not alone
on the wide world are ye known:
Mid its labors and its cares;
Mid its sufferings and its snares,
Free from sorrow, free from strife;
In the world oflove and life,
Where no sinful thing hath trod
In the presence Of our God!
Sp0tless, blameless, glorited,
Little children. ye abide,

To CLEAN CARPETs.-A few drops Of
carbonate of ammonia in a small quantity

easy anti-acid, and will change, if carefully
applied, discolored spots, whether produced

injured by whitewash, this will remove it.

Louisiana planters have great hopes of
recent invention by which bagasse, the
refuse cane stalks left over from the pro-
cess of manufacturing crude sugar, can be
made into paper fiber of good quality and
that bleaches well. These stalks have
been used to heat the evaporating pans in
which the sugar is boiled, but they will
yield ton of fiber to every hogshead of
SUGAR.
