A Japanese Baby.
ST Nicholas.


When Kline, the little Japanese baby, was one
hundred days old, she was carried to the temple,
just as some American parents take their little
children TO the church to have them christened,
though Kine's parents do not know or worship
the true God. The priest wrote prayer on a
piece of paper and put it in the prayer-bag,
which was small and made of red Grape. en-
broidered in white flowers and drawn together
by silk cords. This bag containing the
prayer was the ''guard from evil.' and
it is devoutly believed by all Japanese tc 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. This little red bag was at
tached to the girdle behind. After bestowing a
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 care
fully nursed, and carried on the back OF
faithful servant, who fastened her there
by a long string or bandage drawn
around the waist and legs of the child. and
across over the neck and shoulders of the maid.
Her little head and bright eyes would bob on

every side as her nurse walked or ran and hers
she would 60 soundly asleep, or play as any
baby would. She was never in any persons
arms. japanese babies seldom are When
from her nurse or mother, they would hold their
backs invitingly, and she would put
out her little arms and 90 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 II cuddled up IN
her 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 shaved, was al
lowed to grow little, and then tied on the top
in a very funny fashion Every year it is worn

A Conscientious Cat.
st. Nicholas for AprIL

ST. Nicholas Tor April
1t was at one of these hydraulic mines that the
fugitive cat had found friends; and as after sew
eral visits she lay watching their operation. she
seemed to reason it all out in her own mind that
as the. great dirt bank opposite her
showed signs of giving way under the action of
the water force against it, the would rush
for shelter to the shanty near by to which, Of
course, she too would scamper to escape the
falling earth. So, reasoned pussy, if these kind
friends of mine are always in danger from these
tumbling down banks. why cannot |, in return
for their kindness, watch the dirt banks and
give them proper warnings
Now, as you all know, there is nothing cat
dslikes much water. just watch your
kitty shake her paws daintiy when she steps
into a puddle, and see how disguised she is if a
drop of water falls on her nose or back But
this Sierra Nevada pussy was most conscien-
tious cat She felt that it was her
duty to make some sacrifice for
her friends and so, after thinking it
all over, she took her place right on top of the
nozzle of the monitor las the big iron pipe
through which the water is forced is
called), and here, in spite of occasional
and most unwelcome shower baths, she
would watch for the first movement of the fall
ing bank, when away she would go like fash
with all the miners at her heels until they all
reached the shelter of the hut So faithful did
she perform her self imposed task that, in a
little while, the men gave up their precaution
of keeping one eye on the dangerous slide and
waited for puss to give the signal. AS soon as
they saw her spring down from the comfortable
bed which the miners had made for her on the
monitor" they would all cry, 1.-THE cat; the cat'
and start on run for the shanty. And it was
at just such moment that came to the mire
and encountered this most conscientious cat
leading her friends to safety.

An Insecure Monument.
New York Graphic


The Washington moraAment will make tre-
mendous racket when it falls Indeed, the fal9
of this mighty shaft would endanger the safety
of N any of the public buildings and monuments
of Washington. The White House aud the
Treasury are in close proximity to it, and tho
occupants of these buildings would be uncom-
fortably shaken up if the structure should col
lapse. Yet such an occurrence is by no means
improbable. Indeed. it must come down some
day, and probably it viii do so in an unexpected
way For instance, it has been remarked that
should foreign ship of war ascend the Potomac
the Washington monument would offer an adj
mirable target for gun practice, as it is right by
the bank of the river and the most prominent
object in sight. 1t is a question how long tfE
affair will stand Almost beside it is large
pond. and the ponds where the government
breeds carp on the same side and not far off,
1t is feared that the water from these ponds may
work through the soft. oamy soil and UNDER
mine the foundations of the monument. Itmay
turn out to be second leaning tower of Pisa.
If it started to lean, all the ropes earth would
not prevent it from falling The ground or,
which it is built is soft, and if it fell it would
probably disappear entirely from sight.

BOSTON Women,
Boston Letter to Missouri Republican.

Boston Letter to Mlsfourl RepuDfican.
Women got to looking too much alike in
tailor-made suits in New York, and in the
theaters here they are the exception; in Boston
they are the rule. They all wear tailormade
cloth suits. They all carry big square velvet or
silk bags. drawn up with string their arms.
During the day these bags are filled with small
parcels, doughnuts, tickets for Joe Cooks lect-
ure remedies for nervous affections, tablets and
appointments for the Adams House. At night
they contain opera glasses night-keys, smelling
bottles, folding fans and night-caps.
Without doubt it's the most encouraging city
for plain woman to strike in the United States

AT the Washington Tables,

Bart1OTu IIIAtB.
Mixed in with the dishes of sandwiches on
fancy cakes, the Washington tea tables also in
troduce sailed almonds. These are first roasted
and then turned over in the pan with little
butter and great deal of salt. They are con-
sidered an appetizer, but make one more thirsty
than hungry, and consequently the tea disap-
pears in great quantities. 1t is rather funny to
see the would connoisseurs Of tea trying very
hard to adopt the style of tie teas given at tho
Russian minister's, who holds to the Russian
custom of slice of lemon or spoonful of pre-
tom and appetizer is the cheese straw that
are merely thin strips Of pie crust filled willis
grated cheese, and sprinkled with red pepper.
These, like all indigestible eatables, are really
upon by using the hard watercracker instead or
the pie-crust. The cracker filed with cheese
and pepper tastes still better.

custom when new dynasty assembled the throne
Chum-que, Han-que etc.. according to the name of
the ruling monarch. The true name is said to be
Chumque, ''the center kingdom of the world :.
This term was by usage corrupted to Chinque,

name of China. China proper consists of eigh
teen provinces, containing 250. 600, 900 people.

partake of the sacrament and procure a letter Of
recommendation from him; next to physician,
and obtain from him after examination a.
certificate of permission to remain absent GER

costs her about $40. If she returns promptly az
the end of the time prescribed all is well; but f
not, her name is erased from the book in which
it has been entered, and she is considered hav-
ing violated her contract with the governments

why II Became "Merrie" England.

Little Folks Magazine.
Hundreds of years ago the great delight of the
English folks was in music and song Boys at
the public schools had to learn part singing not
as an extra, but as a regular portion of their
lessons. In those times Ministries went abouh
the country singing ballads that often told OF
the news of the day, and were of fact the only
means that men had of getting news. Wherever
they went the people crowded to listen to them,
and to join in the choruses and it was this love
of song and of singing that led to that country
being called "Merrie England"
