A Japanese Baby.


When Kline, the little japanese baby,
was 100 days old she was carried to the
temple, Just as some American parents
take their little children to the church
10 have them christened, though Kines
parents do not know or worship the true
God. The priest wrote prayer on a
piece of paper and put it into the prayer
bag, which was small and made of red
Grape, embroidered with white flowers
and drawn together by silk cords. The
bag containing the prayer was the
guard from evil, and it is deyoutly
believed by all Japanese to have the
power of keeping children from evil
spirits, from delusion by foxes - for the
people think that foxes can cheat or
enchant peOple-and from all dangers
The little red bag was attached 10 the
girdle behind. After bestowing gift
in money upon the priest the parents
and relatives returned home with the
little girl and held great feast in her
honor.
Kline was carefully nursed, and carried
on III back of faithful servant, who
fastened her there by long string or
bandage drawn around the waist and
legs OF the child, and crossed over the
neck and shoulders OF the maid. Her
little head and bright eyes would bob on
every side us her nurse walked or ran,
and here she would go soundly asleep,
or play as any baby would. She was
never carried in any persons arms.
japanese babies seldom are When
Kine's aunts or cousins wished to coax
her away from her nurse or mother,
they would hold their backs invitingly,
and she would put out her little arms
and go to one or another as she chose.
Clasping tightly the neck OF the favored
one, and held there by the feet or legs,
she would be as happy as if cuddled up
in the arms.
As the baby grew and began to walk,
little sandals made of straw were put
on her feet. These were fastened on
by putting the great toe through loop.
When she was year old her hair, which
had been shayed, was allowed to grow a
little, and then tied on the top in very
funny fashion. Every year it was worn
differently.

A Dusky Congo Queen.

On the kwa, deep, rapid tributary
of the Congo, is native town called
Musye, the residence of Queen Gankabi,
where Mr.. Stanley, while exploring the
river, stopped to pay visit TO its femi.
nine ruler. The arrival of the smoke
boats created great commotiOu in
.he village. Unfortunately Uankabi
was not at home; she had gone up the
river, and the natives were afraid TO re-
aeiye the strangers in her absence, As
the party steamed away, with the ayowed
intention of finding her royal highneSS,
Stanley was entreated not TO frighten
the poor queen with the great paddle
wheels.
Brighten her, indeed! A canoe soon
came in view in which was seated a
female, padding vigorously for a few
strokes, and then in a peculiar style
bringing her right arm akImbo to her
waist. Without the slightest sign OF
timidity she steered her forty-live-foot
canoe alongside. This yer action on
her part denoted person of character.
She brought her paddle in.6oard, and
with her right arm to her waist, she
examined us keenly aud altentively for
some minutes without speaking. tx.
cepting her hair and color, she had moth
ing negroish about her, Draw figure
with the Martha Washington type of
face, color it with rich bronze, put short
frizzy hair of negro above, and one
has striking Likeness, of Queen Can
kabi."
This Amazon, sturdy and uare.
shouldered, stood, with bare feet, fully
five feet seven inches in height. Her
costume was an ample grass.cloth
folded about her substantial form, and
her wrists were adorned with heavy
copper bands Resolute and earnest.
eyed, this woman showed neither terror
nor astonlshment at the 'smoke-boat
and its crew, but at once issued com.
mands with the air of one accustomed
to be obeyed. Mr.. Stanley's interview
with this dusky queen is one of the most
amusing incidents in his fascinating
book.

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.

Evidently there has as yet been nc
permanent settlement as to the points
of difference existing between the two
powers named Mt the head of this
article over what is known the world
over as the Afghanistan question. In
diplomatic sense Russia has been as
mild hammered TO England and be-
tore all the world as the most ardent
friend OF peace between two nations
could ask since the first outbreak OF
hostile feeling between these powers,
which so startled the world. Since
the close of winter Russia has loudly
affirmed and reaffirmed that her
whole desiIe was for peace and peace
full settlement as to all the questions
involved between her and England
over the country known as Afghan
istan. In this kind of spirit Russia
readily came to an understanding with
the British government which in the
worlds view assured the continuance
between the two nations. A truce
was called, which the world chose
to look upon as settlement, British
consols and Russian stocks bounded
upward and quickly reached their
highest range of prices; the grain mar
kets declined and soon reached such
prices as prevailed before the war
cloud rose. All this, while keen Oh
servers, who kept themselves well
posted could not fail to observe the
fact that Russia kept right on with
her railway improvement between the
Caspian Sea and Afghan frontier all
of which was adding daily to her
facilities for moving troops and all
kinds Of war material up to the con-
fines of the Afghan country at such
points as she may select. To-day
there Is not much doubt but that
Russia has been all the time moving
troops and military supplies forward
In the general direction of Herat, and
rs matter of fact she has been max
ing just about as active preparation
for bold descent on the great Afghan
stronghold as could be possible.
About the time the truce was agreed
upon between the two powers one of
our exchanges in commenting upon
the matter said: Another thing plain
to be seen Is that Russia is far more
willing 10 fight than England is.
Russia is forcing the fight in fact, has
already found pretext for violating
the recent arrangement" with Glad
stone, and her troops are said TO be
fifty miles further on the doubtful or
forbidden territory than when Eng
lands demand for halt was made.u

LAWRENCE BRUNER, a well known
bugologist. of Blair. Neb., who is now
an agent Of the department Of agricul-
ture. has been investigating the grass
hopper in the valley of the Arkansas
and other sections Of Colorado, and he
assures the people Of Nebraska and
Kansas that they need fear no inva-
sion of the yoracious critter, as the
Colorado hopper is not Of migratory
species, but a native Of that state, and
IL is not likely TO leave his native field
for pastures new. This is indeed 9
comforting assurance. Now let Mr.
Bruner be Immediately sent to the
vicinity of Fort Buford, to investigate
the grasshoppers that are reported tc

An Arctic Appetite.

II intensity Of appetite is the measure
OF pain suffered by persons who are
starving to death, il would seem that &c
die in the Arctic regions is much
greater agony than to die in the tropics,
for cold sharpens hunger. Lieut.. Greedy
says that his party had ferocious appe.
titles during all the long SO ourn in the
north, each man eating with relish
three meals of animal food and two
lunches every day, and craving fat
though not 10 the extent some Arctic
travellers report. AS means TO FORTH,
the system against cold or brace 1t vi
for forced marches, whisky, rum ant
other alcoholic stimulants were regarded
as of little benefit.

his biography are known 10 every school,

But gorge Washington is an un,

fore US in his habit as he lived, we shall
read less Of the cherry tree and more OF
the man. Naught surely that is heroic
will be omitted; but side by side with
what is heroic will appear much that is
commonplace. We shall behold the
great commander repairing defeat with
marvellous celebrity, healing the dissen.
sions OF his officers and calming the pas.
sions of his mutinous troops. But We
shall also hear his oaths, and see him in
those terrible outbursts Of passion tc
which Mr.. Jefferson has alluded, and
one of which Mr. Lear has described.
We shall see him refusing to be paid by
congress, yet exacting from the family
Of the poor mason the shilling that wa:
his due. We shall know him as the cold
and forbidding character, with whom
no fellow-man ever ventured to live on
close and familiar terms; we shall re.
spect and honor him for being, not the
greatest of generals, nor the wisest
of statesmen, not the most sanity Of his
race, but man with many human frail

recreation that is needed, but higher

The poor girls in the east of Lon.

for these recreation is now the cry.
Truly if one could double or treble their
