Il Is q curious fact that despite their SIM
pie life and the rude work they perform, tho
japanese are among the cleanliest people in
tho world. and the above writer notes that
after their iaborious day as stevedorcsSes
these women all went TO the bath, and soon
reappcared IN dainty prints and kerchiefs.
Nothing could be more daintily graceful and
becoming than the familiar garb Of tho
ladies of Japan. They are naturally attrac-
tive, and tho gaIb suits their style. The main
objection to it is that it Is too cool for
winter.
III tho European dress they can hardly
walk The ladies Of the court and Of the
merchant class who have adopted it in defer
ence 10 the empress say it is torture 70 them.
But if the wealthy and noble make it the
fashion tho others viii soon follow, and it is
likely that those reared to it may be as
healthy and happy in the new costume as
in the old. Nearly al the men, however, Of
all ranks regret the change, both as a matter
of taste and increased expense

A Crows Plan and a Dogs Plan.

An eyewitness gives the following in an
swer to the question: " Are animals able
to think over and carry out a plan ~
When in India / had small, rough ter
rier, which, when given a bone, was sent
to eat it on the gravel-drive under an open
porch in front of the bungalow On sew
eral occasions two crows had made an at
tempt to snatch the dainty morsel, but
their plans were easily defeated by To opsy's
growls and swapping teeth Away flew
the crows to the branch of tree near by.
After few moments of evident discus
sion, they proceeded to carry out the plan
of attack. One crow flew down to the
ground and gave peck at the end of the
dogs tail. Topsy at once turned to resent
this attack in the rear, while the other
crow flew down and bore the bone away in
triumph.
The same dog had a favorite resting
place in an easy-chair, and was very often
deprived of it by dog which came as
visitor to the house. Topsy did not ap-
prove of this, and her attempts to regain
her seat were met with growls and bites.
This justified an action of eviction, and
the busy little brain decided on plan.
The next day, as usual, the intruder estab-
lished himself in the chair, which was
close to the open door. Topsy looked on
for moment, and then flew savagely out
of doors, barking at a supposed enemy.
Out ran the other dog to see what was up,
and back came Topsy to take possession of
her coveted seat. The other dog came
slowly back and curled himselfup in far

s Story of AgassIz,s Camn.

| have just recalled a good story told ~
one of the guides who used to accompany
Professor Agassiz when he and his party
visited their hunting lodge at Ampersan
| Pond, in the North Woods. One of the
gentlemen, on the way over that wild
carry, fell and seriously injured his knee,
and it was found necessary to improvise a
pair of crutches that he could be able to
get about at all. His mishap made him
quite nervous and restless, for fear that he
might not be able 20 get back over the
mountain; and this being his first experj-
enee in the woods, alB sorts of imaginary
things came into his head He walked
out one evening shors distance to enioy
the beautiful moonlight, while the rest of
the party were engaged at a game of cards.
All OF sudden push and bang came
against the door, as of soIse one in mortal
haste, when the door flew open and pair
of crutehes came half across the room. fol-
lowed by the crippled huntsman, who.
shouted at the topof his voice, panther w
Every gun was IN requisition'in moment,

need of little brandy and water, as the
party sailed out to perform deeds of cour-
age and daring. A very careful search
was made in the direction pointed out by
our nervous. friend, who followed very
cautiously in the rear, when an unearthlv
cry rang out into the Silly night "There
he is right overhead" he exclaimed, when
one of the guides shouted out, "Why, it's
nothing but an old hoot OWL" Our friend
did not hear the last of the panther for
some time-Fosest and Stream.
