 to witness the delights of inebriety;' but he dashed their hopes by adding: f'You are thus licensed to hold the cup to childish lips, but you must not permit them to drink it. The poor privilege of selling to boys and girls is denied to you. You must wait until they are twenty-one before you can legally destroy them"

 JAPANESE FLOWER GARDENING. A Queer Idea in Love-Makfng-The
 Romance of Rejected Rose Bush.
 IF. W. Barbridge.l
 Among the Japanese the love of flowers and plants is an absorbing passion. In the smallest of dwellings there is an altar-like niche in or upon which Towering plants are arranged, but they have in some districts most remarkable custom in connection with window gardening.
 In houses wherein reside one or more daughters of marriageable age, an empty flower pot of an ornamental character is en- circled in a ring, and suspended from the window or veranda by three light chains.
 Now the Juliets of Japan are of course at tractive, and the Romeos as love sick as those of other lands. But instead of sere- nades by moonlight or other delicate ways of making an impression, it is etiquette for the Japanese lover to approach the dwelling of
 
 hand. which he bodily, but, let us hope rev. erently, proceeds to plant in the empty vase. This takes place at the time when he is full ly assured that both mother and daughter at home, and I need scarcely say neither of them are at all conscious that the young man is taking such liberty with the flower pot outside of their window. It is believed that young lover so engaged has never been seen by his lady or her mamma in this act of sacrifice; at any rate, friend tells me that, during his long residence in Japan, he never heard of anyone being detected in the act or interfered with in any way.
 The fact is, this act of placing pretty plant into the empty fower-pot is equiva- lent to formal proposal to the young lady who dwells within. The youthful gardener, having settled his plant to his mind, retires, and the lady is free to act as she pleases.
 If he is the right man, she takes every care of his gift, waters it, and tends it carefully with her own hands, that all the world may see and know that the donor is accepted as 8 suitor. But if he is not favorite, or If stern parents object, the plant is removed from the vase, and the next morning finds it withered on the veranda on the path be- low. In a word, If you are not the right man, it is evident that this phase of window gardening must be difficult and disappoint- ing one to carry on in Japan.
 c. P. Boynton, of South Coventry, claims to nave been roDOed or aDouG SoI0 oatnruay at Wiliimantic, where he had gone as admin istrator of the estate of Sylvanus Capwel to pay certain claims. He says he was attacked by heart disease at about 1 p. m. and went down by the river back of the depot for cool air, when he was set upon by two men, knocked unconscious and robbed. He did net appear to friends until nearly dark and says he remained unconscious all that time. He had severe external injuries on the head, but no apparent brain injury. He was taken home Sunday.

EDISON'S LATEST.

One of Thomas Edison's experts
has been experimenting during the
last four days with an invention on
the trains of the Staten Island Rail-
way Company. The new device is
intended to permit engineers of
trains to communicate easily with
one another when the trains are
mile apart and in motion. The
medium of communication is the
telegraph wires along the railroad
and an instrument in the engineers
cab. The appliance is designed to
prevent collision in foggy weather
at curves or on terminals. 1t re-
sembles the telephone in some res
poets. Flagmen and depot-watchers
can also use the instrument to COM
municate with approaching or pass
ing trains, no matter at what speed
they may be running. The trials
thus far have been conducted with a
good deal of secrecy, and neither
the operator nor Mr.. Edison's pri-
vate secretary would give any par
ticulars of the invention except to
state that the experiments were sue
cessful, and when the plans are ulti-
mately perfected, collisions between
trains will be almost impossible.
1t is considered most valuable in
vention and Mr., Edison desires to
secure all the foreign patents before
making anything known about it.
He expects to have it completed in
about two weeks. -Neao York. Iri-

TEACHING A HORSE LANGUAGE.

1t is q mistaken idea that the horse
must be kept in fear with the whip.
He must be first taken in hand to
learn the voice, and gradually made
to understand by example the mean
ing of what is said to him. Teach
ing horse is just like teaching a
child; when you commence the al
phabet with him you make him re-
peat it, so as to familiarize him with
the sounds and appearance of each
letter. So with the horse, if you
want him to go to the left or right,
when you say left, you lead him by
the head in that direction until he
goes in that direction without your
aid. To be sure it takes time to
make him understand, but he will
get as used to the words you speak
and their meaning as he does to
"whoa" and 'sget VI" -Minnea-

BUYING WALL PAPER.

Light papers make dark, dingy
room much more cheerful; large
figures make a small room look
much smaller and occasion much
waste in matching the figures. All
low rooms should be papered with
striped paper, having the stripes
running up and down, as it makes
the room seem much higher. Sub
dued tints take off the glare of too
many windows. The best effect is
produced by having a paper with
pattern and colors of a quiet tone,
such as does not at once strike the
eye on coming into the room. The
paper should relieve and set out the
furniture that stands in front Of it,
not attract attention from it.

AMERICAN lIcnTNEss.

What appears to be the most
serious danger now threatening the
American race is the tendency to
over-refinement, and the consequent
failure in reproduction. This ten
dency has set its stamp upon our
mentality, so that our literary and
scientific works, and all the varied
outcomes of our mental life, are
characterized by clearness, quick
ness, aptress, rather than by force,
or depth, or real mastery. Our
literature, as such, has less bulk
than the English or German, less
body and more grace and refine
ment. Compare Emerson with
Carlyle, or Fiske with Spenser, or
Hawthorne with Scott, or Prescott
with NTacauley, or James with Geo.
Eliot. Up to certain point this
dizziness and clearness of our authors
give them the advantage; but when
great tasks are to be undertaken,
our lightness and brightness are less
telling. Our second considerable
crop of authors, born (say) since
1926, has less force, less body, less
breadth, than our first great crop
which included Cooper Bryant,
Irving, Emerson, Longfellow and
Whittier. Portland Transcript.
