ROW TO rREAr ANIMALs.

Another individual attempts by rum
ming and yelling to catch his COW Or
cows Why do these naturally gentle
animals run away from him? Because
they remember full well that on former
occasions, when he has succeeded In
catching them, series of blows from
some heavy cudgel has been their re-
ward. Is there not some better way of
securing the good will of our herds and
III managing them as we wish? There
is hollow place on the head of every
COW, just behind the junction OF the
horns, which is commonly full of dust,
short hairs and the like, causing the
animal an itching sensation. It is 81
source of extreme pleasure to the COW
to have the spot scratched, and since
from its location the animal cannot reach
it, hence when her keeper approaches
her, either in the stable or in the past
ure, an era of good feeling may be es-
ished if due attention be paid toscratch-
ing this hollow spot. IF, at your first
approach, the cow is little shy, offer
her from one hand nubbin of corn,
while with the other hand you gently
scratch the particular spot in her head
mentioned above. In very short time,
whenever you go into pasture, the whole
herd will come to you to have their
heads scratched, and you will soon be
satisfied that it is as easy to have them
follow you as to resort to driving and
loud noise.-An.eric0 Cultiv0tor.

Tho Song of the Fairies.

When all the light hath left the West,
And the wearied world hath gone to rest;
When the moon rides high in the purple sky,
From our forest home we fairies HE
Out of the warm, green heart of the earth,
To waken the woods with song and mirth.
Flow, waters, flow! Blow, soft winds, blow!
The fairies are kings Of the woods tonight
We are the children Of light and air;
We know not sorrow, we feel no care;
Through the long, sweet hours Of the summers
night,
To revel and dance is our delight;
And wherever our flying footsteps pass,
There are brighter rings on the dewy grass
Flow, waters, flow! Blow, soft winds, blow!
The fairies are kings of the woods tonight!
In every blossom and bud we hide,
On wings of the wind we mount and ride;
We haunt the brooks and the rushing streams,
And we Climb the stars up the bright moonbeams;
And the woodman sees by the dawn's pale light
The circling track Of our footsteps bright.
Flow, waters, fowl Blow, soft winds, blow.
The fairies are kings Of the woods tonight!

HATS Challenge.

When Hal was not more than 3 years

live in part of their house.
Mrs. Deans husband was away and
she had no children, so she was often
lonely, and began to make friends with
Hal.
He soon grew very fond of her, and
many times day he would go in and
have fine times.
One day Mr.. Dean came, and Hal did
not know it. Soon after, he started to
go and see Mrs. Dean, as usual.
Mr.. Dean was sitting by the window
and saw him coming. "Wife," he said,
"here comes a caller, little chap about

So to keep back the tears he thought he

all these phenomena, which roughly re-
produce the ripples, wayelets and ed
dies on the smooth sheets of the water
of river, we better understand the
unity which presides over everything in
nature.
When, by long exploration, We have
become familiar with the glacier, and
we know how to account to ourselves
for all the little changes which take
place upon it, it is delight to roam
about it on fine summers day. The
heat of the sun has given it voice and
motion. Tiny veins of water, almost
imperceptible at first. are formed here
and there; these unite in sparkling
streamlets which wind at the bottom of
miniature river-beds, followed out by
themselves, and then suddenly disap-
pear in a crack in the ice, giving forth q
low plant in silvery voice. They swell
or fall according to the variations Of the
temperature. Should cloud pass be-
fore the sun and cool the atmosphere,
they barely continue to flow; when the
heat becomes greater, the rivulets as
sumo the pace Of torrents; they sweep
away with them sand and pebbles, which,
meeting little drifts of earth, form banks
and islands; then toward evening they
calm down, and soon the cold Of the
night congeals them afresh.
How much more charming are all
these little dramas of inanimate nature
when animals or plants take part in
them Attracted by the mildness of the
air the butterfly futters on the scene, or
the plant, fallen from the heights of
neighboring rocks, makes the most of its
short time to take root again and display

PORK rs. RELIGION.

In Japan the use Of nearly every kind
of animal flesh as food is prohibited by
religion. It seems that the flesh Of the
deer and the wild boar are excepted, but
these animals are found only in remote
regions and in small numbers, so that
but few Of the people are benefited by
the exception. The population Of ia
pan is 100000. Reliable statistics
show there are, in the whole country, but
about 1000, 900 head Of cattle. Nearly
half of these are bulls, whose emascula-
ton is not permitted, and whose flesh is,
therefore, unfit for food This leaves
about 100000 COWS, not more than half
Of whom are fit for beef, making less
than one head to every 100 people, while
in the United States there are seventy
three head to 100 people. Last year
$4,000 cattle were slaughtered, more
than half of which were used by foreign
ers in the cities and on the ships in the
harbors. From these facts it is clear
that among the masses of the people
beef is almost unknown. Mutton and
pork are still more scarce, and are never
seen except in the ports where treaties
with other countries permit their i'm
portation.
The religious inhibition does not ex-
tend to fish or to poultry. The latter is
abundant, but SO high in price that only
the rich can afford its 1,se, and it forms
no part Of the diet Of the common peo-
pie. Fish is abundant In great varie-
ties, in all the streams of the country,
and is the only article, not of vegetable
nature, which forms staple of daily
food.
The great popularity of the japanese,
among all the nations of the earth, is
that they are vegetarians. Full 80 per
cent, of all their food consists of vegeta-
BILE productions. Rice is the great
| staple, barley is next and then follow
| millet, wheat, rye and Indian corn. They
have many vegetables of the highest
| value as articles of diet, which are un-
known to US, and efforts are now in
progress to introduce some of these into
this country.
Until within few years past, Japan
has stubbornly refused to admit foreign
commerce to her ports, or to permit any
| kind of commercial intercourse between
her people and those of other nations.
Even yet, but few Of her ports are open
| to the world, but the advantages of re-
ciprocal trade will soon unlock the rest.
She affords vast field for commercial
enterprise, and it remains to be seen
whether her religious scruples can with
stand the Establishments of savory cheap
meats, which other countries, and es-
pecially our own, will rapidly supply.
There is an impending conflict between
| religion and pork, and, unless there is
interference by the villainous trichina,
pork is certain to win.-Indaanapolis

QUEER SOCIETIES IN JAPAN.

Fashion has shown us some strange
vagaries in Japan. First she fixed her
attention on pigs, then on rabbits, then
on roses, then on specie, and now she
is all for societies. Some societies there
are which, through good or Ill report,
have come to occupy niche in the tenn
pie of notoriety, as for example, the So
ciety of Protesters in Tosa, the Society
Of Patriots in Osaka, the Society of 10y
slists in Kaga, the Friendly Brothers of
Toxic, etc. Ali these are ineligible.
though sometimes not intelligent, asso.
stations, aiming at some utilitarian, phil
osophical or political goal, but of late
:here have sprung up here and there
strange brotherhoods with strange pur-
poses end strange titles. Thus we have
had the Fall-Together Society and the
Pauper Brotherhood of Tottori Project
ure, as well as the Seaweed Society of
Wakayama, so called because its mem
aers-elect, for the sake of distinction OF
necessity, clothe themselves investments
tattered like the ragged wrack of the
yeasty brine"
Quaintest and most melancholy of all !,
however, is the latest social excrescence
Of Kumamoto, the society Of self-annihi-
'ation. The principles of its constitu-
ton are three O. That its members
must have no private capital, floating or
dxed; (2) that they must look to moth
ing but their own right arms to support
and protect them and (3) that they
Lust be in session every day of the 365,
the purposes Of their session being to say
what they please, eat and drink as much
as they like, sleep when they fancy and
concern themselves about nothing that
does not affect them personally. Some
suggest that this is revival OF the old
Buddhist doctrine of practical Nirvana,
but it seems very much more likely that
these self-annihilators are disciples of
Russian Nihilism, and that they
consist of youths formerly afiliat-
ed to the notorious ,"Breath of
God Society,"" which gave the au-
thorities so much trouble at the time of
the Satsuma rebellion. The afzatus del
from which these gentry borrowed their
title was the tornado that shattered to
pieces the great Chinese armada off the
coast of Chikuzen in the time of the
Yuen Emperors. It was In fact bar
MISUNDERSTANDING blast, and those
who called themselves by its name were
the head and front Of the anti-foreign
agitation. With them were associated
the Household Divinity sect, who, as
their name implies, were equally conser-
vative. Little, if any, of this spirit now
remains, and it would be extravagant to
fancy that it has inspired the self-anni-
hilators Of Kumamoto. They do but
represent one of those unhappy phases
into which the unemployed and almost
unemployed energy Of the disinherited
,samurai was bound to drift. Let us
hope that they will work no more evil
thad their title suggests. Mail.

Z But though old Whackem kicked him ont,
Yet still he fingered near;
He waited just outside the door
TIL Whackem did appear.
Then William ran to meet the man
He ran.his level best;
And met him just behind, you know,
Down just below the vest.

The goat stood on his head,
And Mary laughed herself so sick
