A Journey i'm Japan.

The trip to Nikko is worth the taking
for what may be seen on the road.
While every path and thoroughfare In
the land has much of beauty to recon-
mend it to the traveller, the road from
Toxic, the point of departure for those
going from Yokohama to the mountain
girt city, is usually attractive, as it
passes through portion of the coun-
try that is as highly and carefully Guilt
waited as any portion of the empire. 1t
is during the month of August that the
vegetation of Japan that has the care
and attention of the husbandman is at
that stage of growth that the land is
covered with generous promises of rich
returns for the labor bestowed upon it.
Flora is generous i'll Japan at all times,
but especially so in August, when there
is no end of her gifts to gladden. the
eye and perfume the breezes. AS the
traveller proceeds from the capital he
leaves behind the more pronounced in
novations of Western intercourse that
have been partially developed in all
the cities open to foreigners, coming in
contact with that which is more purely
japanese. On the entire journey, COW
ering distance of some ninety-two
miles, it is not possible to procure other
than japanese food, pure and simple,
while the sleeping accommodations are
of the native style; though, for that
matter, there are only three public
places in Toxic where meal in foreign
style can be obtained, and only one
hotel where bed can be had. On the
most travelled routes scant accommoda-
tions are furnished to meet the demands
of Western notions. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing for a foreigner to be refused
admittance into the public houses in
the interior towns and villages. This
may be and probably is, in many in
stances, because of the trouble that is
entailed upon the proprietor of the
house in consequence of the official in
spection that is imperatively necessary
in connection with the passport of the
traveler.-Cor. san Francisco Chron-
icie.

Do Birds Thinkl

Do birds think? Let me tell you of
little bird 1 once owned. The little
bird was female mocking-bird who
had nest of young ones about week
old. The baby birds were never
healthy, inheriting weakness from their
father, who had asthma. Early one
morning was awakened by the mother
bird standing on my pillow pouring
into my ear the most mournful notes l
ever heard. L knew something was
wrong and arose at once. The mother
flew to her nest, and looked to see il /
was following, which i was. AS soon
as / had reached the nest she took hold
of one of the baby birds wings, pinched
it gently with her beak and watched it
eagerly, L think, to see if it moved.
Then she took hold of one of the little
feet and pinched it in the same manner,
and, finding it did not move, she looked
up at me in q pleading way, as if she
wanted me to waken them. / reached
my hand out toward the nest. She
stood aside and looked on with as much
interest and feeling as any young human
mother.
l examined the lifeless little bodies,
and when / withdrew my hand the
mother fastened to hover over
the little ones, seeming to think
that if she could warm them they
would awaken. In few moments
she hoped off the nest, looked at
her babies, held food close to their
mouths and coaxed and called them,
but i'll vain. She flew all around the
room, as if in search of some untried
remedy. Several times she perched on
my shoulder, and looked so distressed
and pitiful could scarcely keep from
crying. L put her in cage and hung
her in the sunshine to see if she would
become quiet She took q bath, but
still remained nervous and seemed
anxious and by and by grew so restless
/ had to take her out of the cage and
let her go to the nest again.
She stood quite a while looking at
her dead children. Then she went
over all the bodies-pinching them
gently and Watching them closely to
see if they moved. When she saw no
signs of life she seemed puzzled. She
seemed at last to make up her mind the
little ones were dead. And one by one
she lifted them tenderly in her beak
and laid them side by side in the middle
of the room. She looked at them low
ingly moment then flew to her empty
nest and gazed wonderingly into that.
Finally she perched on my shoulder
and looked into my eyes, as if to ask
What does all this mean? What a
lesson of love and devotion that little
bird taught? She always fed the little
ones before taking a mouthful herself,
and sometimes she would stand coaXing
them to take one more mouthful, and
finding they had enough would swallow
it herself. - Chicago Times.

The Hyacinth i'm Mythology.

According to the mythologists, this
fairy-like, fragile flower had its origin
in the death of Hyacinthus, Laconian
youth, greatly favored by Apollo, and
much admired for his beauty. He fell
a victim to the jealous rage of Zephy-
rus, who, in revenge for the preference
manifested for him by the Sun-god, had
determined to effect his destruction.
Accordingly, one day, when the ill-fat-
ed youth was playing at quoits with his
divine friend, Zephyrus blew so power
fully upon the iron flung by Apollo that
it struck the unfortunate Hyacinthus on
the temple and killed him, to the in
tense grief of his innocent slayer. To
commemorate the grace and beauty of
the poor young Prince, for such he
was, Apollo, unable to restore him to
life, caused the flower which now bears
his name to spring from his blood.

A Story from the Life OF Dumas.

The following story from the life of
M. Dumas, the elder, says the Partisan
papers, has never been published be-
fore. One day the great novelist had
to pay draft of 5000 francs. II he
could not pay it the doors of the prison
at Clichy were open for him. Walking
along the boulevards and meditating
on his position he came across one of
his fellow-workers, as yet unknown,
who had only few days ago been adj
mitted into the Society of Dramatic
Authors. His clothes were shabby,
his hat of advanced age, he himself
was long and thin, with flat feet, and n
walking-stick in his hand. Il am
saved" thought Dumas, and to the man
he said: "Do you want money!" "Of
course" Come along, then, and do as
L bid you" They took cab and drove
to Scribe's, where Dumas instructed
MIN to walk up and down the pavement
while he went into the house. On ar
irving, Dumas dashed into Scribe's
room, exclaiming, They have caught
me: / must go to Clichv." "Impossi-
BILE. How much money is it?' a
mere nothing-5,000 francs. Look
uOWu bneTt. DcTlDc stepped 10 tne
window and saw the stranger keeping
guard near the vehicle. He gave Du-
mas the money, and the latter took his
departure in great haste. His compan-
ion received 800 francs and the rest be
kept himself A few days later n meet
ing was held by the Society Of Dramatic
Authors, Mt which Scribe presided
There were only few members pres
ent, and Dumas, with his fellow-work-
er, sat in the front row. On rising to
open the meeting, Scribe recognized the
shabby fellow, and angrily called for
the servant to throw the police officer
out of the room. Such persons had
no business there" In the midst of the
general confusion Dumas approached
the Presidents chair, and whispered
something into Scribe's ear. The latter
burst into loud laugh, and then COM
posing himself, said: pray pardon me,
it is a mistake; you may stay. ST.

The Cow Tree.

Sir Joseph Hooker, in his report on
Kew Gardens, gives q sketch of a most
interesting botanical curiosity, the PdIo
de Udcd, or COW tree. This tree grows
in forests at the foot of certain noun
tain ranges in Venezuela. and attains n
height of 100 feet, and frequently the
trunk reaches to seventy feet without
branch. The remarkable characteristic
of the tree is the milk which exudes
from the trunk when an incision is
made. The flavor is of sweet cream
with a slightly balsamic taste, but it is
very wholesome and nourishing, the
composition being said to approach
very near the milk OF the COW. From
the fact that the milk is somewhat
glutinous it would seem that the tree is
of the caoutchouc order. Seeds which
have been sent to Bombay and the col
onies are said to be thriving well. 1t
is noteworthy, as an example of the law
of compensation traceable in nature
generally, that this COW tree seems
originally to have been a native of O
country where milk giving animals were
formerly totally unknown.

Venezuela Lake DMellers.

In many parts of the world, partic-
ulariy in Europe, there are remains of
the structures of an ancient people
known as Lake Dwellers, from the fact
that they lived in houses built over the
water. In that beautiful sheet of
water in Switzerland, Lake Geneva,
thcre-are such remains; but there are
savage tribes in Oceanica who illustrate
the ancient practice to-day, dwelling in
huts built upon poles, at a considerable
distance from land. In America, the
only instance of this mode of house,
building is found in the lake of Mar
acaibo, which lies in the north of Ven
ezuela. Whether or not this habit of
living suspended above the water is in
dicative of special characteristics, in
which fear of enemies is the chief
element, we are not ready TO say; but
it seems altogether likely that such is
the case, as the tribes who live in this
isolated fashion are generally distin-
guished by peaceable or non-warlike
disposition.
In regard to the Maracaibo Indians,
who are believed tosbe an offshoot from
the Venezuela Indians, this is true, as
it is related that many years ago a
violent war arose among the Indians of
Venezuela, and the conquered We're
driven out. Taking to their boats,
they sailed away for the purpose of
seeking new region in which they
might dwell.
This lake, which is about 100 miles
in length and 90 wide, is connected
with the Gulf of Venezuela by strait
20 miles long. The conquered Indians
had purposed to pass through the strait
on their way in search of new coun-
try, but violent storm came up, and
compelled them to mass their boats
closely, and tie them together with
bamboo poles for protection. This
maneuver enabled them to meet the
storm successfully; and it suggested
the idea of their building pile houses
over the lake, which would be safe from
fire and flood, and give them security
against their enemies. They proceeded
to carry out the idea; and, ere long, a
village of bamboo houses sprang up, as
it were, out of the water. Strong poles
driven firmly into the bottom of the
lake, and secured at the top by cross
pieces, constitute the foundation on
which their houses are built The
roofs are formed of framing of bam-
boo, and neatly matched.
For sleeping purposes, they use ham
mocks. The hygienic conveniences of
these houses are superior; ventilation
and drainage are matters of natures
own provision, and cases of pulmonary
disorders are unknown. These houses
are built near enough together for ac-
cess between them by means of short
foot bridges.
Living, as these people do directly
over the water, they subsist largely by
fishing. They also make many articles
of bamboo, and gather shells on the
beach and fruit ON the neighboring
land, which they sell in the city
markets of Maracaibo. 1t is said that
they have stronger disposition to in
dustry than the natives of Venezuela
further inland. But this may be due
to their mode of living, and in being
compelled to exert themselves to obtain
the necessaries of life.-PhrenOlogicdl
Journal.

Flowers I'm Mexico.

Mexico Is the greatest flower-marke ct
in the world. All the year round, the
gardens bring forth brilliant blossoms
the fragile, beautiful children of this
tropic zone. All historians who write
of the Mexicans as Mexicans, speak OF
their love of flowers as one OF their
principal characteristics. Nor is this
trait diminished in the present gener-
alton. From the days before the cruel
conquest, oil through that merciess
time, when the Mexicans bore the heavy
yoke under their violent masters, the
Spaniards, they remained faithful to
their love of flowers; the passion is
innate.
During even the coolest days that
are known in this mild climate. one
may go to market and find the simple
Indians seated on the sidewalks with
their baskets of flowers. i, have seen
them sitting thus closely together for n
whole block offering at almost ridicu-
lousy low, prices great bundles Of
Roses, Heliotropes, Violets, Geraniums,
fieartsease. Pink, and, III short, almost
numberlees varieties. For 25ccnts, one
may nearly always buy large, elegant

most exquisite flowers. the price of
