Hawthorne.

Throughout his life Hawthorne led a
two-fold EXISTENCE real and a super
natural. AS man he was the realest of
men. From childhood to old age he had
great physical strength and power. His
massive head sat upon strong and mus
cular neck, and his chest was broad and
capacious. His strength was great, his
hand and foot large and well made. He
never knew the feebleness of youth, that
unlucky check to many a promising ca
reer, nor the weakness of old age. In
walking he had firm step and a great
stride, without effort. In early man
hood he had Astounding health. good
digestion, healthy enjoyment of food.
His excellent physical condition gave
him placid and even temper, cheer
full spirit. He was silent man and
often moody one; but never irritable
or morose; his organization was too
grand for that. He was most delight
full companion. in conversation he was
never controversial, never authoritative
and never absorbing. In a multitude
his silence was oppressive; but with a
single companion his talk flowed on SEN
sibly, quietly, and full of wisdom and
shrewdness. He discussed books with
wonderful acuteness, sometimes with
startling power, and with an unexpected
verdict. He analysed men, their char
acters and motives and capacity, with
great penetration, impartially if a
stranger or an enemy, with the tenderest
and most touching justice if friend. He
was fond of the companionship of all who
we're in sympathy with his real and hui
man side of life. A genuine character
was very attractive to him. Men who
did not NEEDLE with him he loved-men
who made no demands on HIM, who Of
fered him the repose of genial compan-
ionship. His lifelong friends were of
this description, and his loyalty to them
was chivalrous and fearless, and so gen.
erous that when they diffused from him
in matters of opinion he rose at once
above the difference and adhered to them
for what they really were. Plain, peace
full, calm and retiring, as he was in all
the ordinary events of life, he was tenn
pestuous and irresistible when reused.
An attempt on the part of rough and
overbearing sea captain to interfere with
his business as an inspector of the Gus
toms in charge of his ship, was met with
such terrific uprising of spiritual and
physical wrath that the dismayed captain
fed up the wharf and took refuge at the
feet of him who sat at the receipt of GUS
toms, inquiring with sailors emotion
and sailors tongue: "What, in Gods
name, have you sent on board my ship
as an inspector. "-l George B. Loring.

Some Things I Have Noticed.

have noticed that when a horse gets
up he gets up forward first and jerks his
hind parts after him, while COW will
get her rear end half up all right and
draw her forward half up in place; also,
when drinking, horse will draw in water
rapidly with every breath; the COW, on
the contrary, will suck in one continuous
draught as long as she can hold her
breath.
have noticed that sheep and goats are
both buffers, yet a sheep has to run a
few steps backward before he can butt,
while the goat has to raise himself on his
hind legs to execute the same movement.
One is called buck sheep, the other a
battering ram. They are the only two

If your dog finds his way into your

How Japanese Babies are Welcomed.

One curious custom in vogue is the
exhibition of a fish on every house where
boy has been born to the family during
the year. This showing is made during
the month of May, and on the 9th of that
month there is high festival held; the
relatives and friends of the family max
ing it the occasion for the presentation
of toys and gifts suitable for boys, az
well as giving clothing fitting for the
little chap. All sorts of child's gear is
and no boy is neglected. The boy is
testifying their Joy in feasting all corners
who honor them by their remembrances.
The girl babies are not forgotten, but
they are accorded another day and a sep
arate festival time, this being the third
day of the third month-the Sd of March.
Then, instead of the fish floating as a
symbol, dolls are to be seen in album
dance, and all the toys known
to the girl world are lavishly
displayed. There is very much Of
pride exhibited on both of these child
festivals, as the gifts presented are osten-
tatiously displayed by the fond parents
for the admiration of their friends. Dim
inutive suits of armor, tiny swords and
bows and arrows, toy horses with full
suits of trappings-in fact, every imag-
Unable thing that goes into the make up
of the Japanese warrior of the olden time
are on parade on the 9Th of May, while
the Bird of March brings forth all that is
representative of the life and fancies of
the feminine gender. There are many
who are not content to await the full
advent of the time for the display Of the
fish emblem. so that during the latter
part of April it is no uncommon thing to
see an immense fish, sometimes two, so
constructed that it is filled by the breeze,
floating from bamboo pole, heralding
the glory that has its lodgment in the
house from which it is exhibited. San

Tar the Noses OF Sheep.

The months OF July and August are
the ones when the sheep in many locali-
ties are subject to most aggravating an
noyauces from fly called the "oestrus
bowls" which seems bound to deposit its
larvae in the nostrils. It infests wooded
districts and shady places where the
sheep resort for shelter and by its cease
less attempts to enter the nostrils makes
the sheep almost frantic. If but one fly
is in flock they become aggitated and
alarmed. They will assemble in groups
holding their heads together and their
noses close to the ground. As they hear
the buzzing of the little pests going
from one to another they will crowd
their muzzles into the loose dirt made
by their stamping to protect themselves.
As the pest succeeds in entering the nose
of the victim it will start on .
run followed by the whole flock to
find retreat from his enemy, throwing
his head from side to side as If in
the greatest agony, while the ostrus
having gained his lodging place deposits
his Larvae in the inner margin of the
nose. Here aided by warmth and
moisture the eggs quickly hatch into q
small maggot which carrying out its in
stincts begins to crawl up into the nose
through crooked opening il the bone.
The annoyance is fearful and msddening
as 1t works its way up into the head and
cavities of the nose. The best known
remedy is tar in which is mixed small
amount of crude carbolic acid. If the
scent of the acid does not keep the fly
away he gets entangled in the tar which
is kept soft by the heat Of the animal.
Any kind of tar or turpentine is useful
for this purpose, and greatly promotes
the comfort of the sheep and prevents
the ravages of the fly in the head

men. Edward and Thomas, we're visiting
him, and one rainy dag the three we're in

turned upon the remuneration received
for the different kinds of labor. Daniel
said:

work whole week for that amount"

IDENTIFY foregone conclusion with poor
E. that he was going to his brother
funeral, for, usuallya hearty eater and
pretty steady drinker, he tasted neither
meat nor drink that trip, but kept the
door of his state-room locked, and was
deaf to all entreaties to "take some.
thing" Harry and I decided to stay at
Wampoa, and see the thing through. As
the boat entered Wampoa reach, Mr..
E. emerged from his state-loom and
came on deck. at once questioned him
as to how he knew that his brother was
to be buried that afternoon. Looking
me full in the face. he said:
''Ssm, you don't believe in such
things, know; but, as true as you and
I stand here, saw Dick last night,
twice-once when you and Harry c.
were + resent, and again soon after you
went-the last time was at the door of
my chamber, and then he spoke and told
me he was to be buried to-day at Wam-
poa."
And girls, we three-Bill, Harry, and
myself--did attend Dicks funeral that
afternoon; for at half-past five o'clock
we stood beside his grave and saw his
remains lowered into it. He had been
found dead-poisoned-in his house in
the city, the night previous. by party
of Englishmen, who went there TO buy
some liquor. So dreadful had been the
effects Of the drug, that it was necessary
to bury him at once.
A "fast boat" was Immediately dis
patched to Hong Kong with the news.
but, strange to say, missed the upward
bound steamer, and did not arrive at its
destination-as we afterward found
until the morning after the funeral.
Therefore, no mortal in Hong Kong, or
on board the Willamette, could, by any
human agency, have known of the death
of Dick E., in his lonely room in
Canton, over ninety miles away. Can
any here explain this?
No one answered, but we looked out
over the misty view, bathed in moon
light, and pondered, and at the white
tomb stones at the little graveyard on
the mountain, and shuddered. Then
we all rose. and, with the spirit on US,
