Where the Raven is Adored.

In the Soudan the respect for the
 Bird of the Shaden is unbounded; he Is endearingly known to the Arabs as their "Uncle," and they are more ex- orbitant in exacting blood money for his chance slaughter by the hand of the stranger than if it were really the rela- tive in question. Shoot their dove, their ostrich, their varied scavengers of the vulture kind, their once-sacred ibis even, and they grin and bear it; but once aim bolt at the ''Noah Bird'' and a hundred lean but muscular brown arms will be raised, and the bereaved white-teethed relatives will gesticulate and shout round you, while they ex- plain how black-hued was your acci- dental crime. Apart from this, the raven, with his jetty plumage, will al ways be point of interest in the Soudan from the strong contrast he p, esents to the ordinary ''desert-col- oeed'' birds which preserve a neutral tint of gray or lawn, which, to the ill. experienced eye, renders them almost invisible. -AH tue Year Round

ABUSE OF BASEBALL.
Why Professional Ball. Playing Is Harmfr
 to the Cause of Physical Training.

Why Professional Ball Playing Is Harmful
 to the Cause of Physical Training.
 Every true friend of athletics must regret the use that is being made of this game in the professional field. It is, of course, misnomer to apply the term athletic exercise, in its ordinary sense, to professional baseball game. The men who manage these games, and those who engage in them, do so without any idea of the physical benefits that may be derived from them. The benefits sought after are financial and not physical the develop ment of the pocket-book and not of the muscle. The character and aims of the professional ball clubs are very much the same as that of the theatrical troupes travelling around the country. It is the gate-money in the one case and the boX-office receipts in the other that constitutes the chief end of ex- istence in the view of the management. purely mercenary basis. It is, there fore, just as far short of the truth to speak of professional game of ball as having any real connection with physical training as it is to speak of professional theatrical performance having any connection with the train ing of mind and morals. Contests where physical strength and skill are the nnly elements set off against each other, where the struggle is fair and honest, with no particular end in view except that of success, are very differ- ent from contests carried on by salaried professionals in a professional way and with only professional end in view. Whatever good, in short, may come from professional ball. playing, it can hardly be in the way of physical good. We doubt very much whether any good of any kind comes from it. The relation which the professional game assumes to bear to real athletic sports is a false relation, and it can no: be less than harmful to the AISh HUT OcGuoO O1 PhJ o4Cdl OUuCetGIOH. AS game like that of ball descends more and more to the level of bust ness, it becomes less and less a means of recreation. We say as it de scends," for we regard the game of ball in itself as noble, manly and healthful sport, and to bring it to the level of the travelling circus and the variety show is, in our opinion, a de- cided degradation. The parallel be- tween the professional ball club and the travelling circus might be carried further than the mere business feat ure. The surroundings and cOncOmi- tants. But we shall content ourselves for the present with pointing out the abuse which has been put upon the National game by making it a mere catch-penny show. This it has become and nothing more.-M J. ObSerrar.

 Some men look upon waltzing as waisting time, but they manage to squeeze some enjoyment out of it, Yonkers Statesman.
 To rejoice in another's prosperity is to give content to your own lot; to mitigate another's grief is to alleviate or dispel your own.

 A man is not to be known by how much money he has, but by what that money is worth to him. You must put your hand into a mans heart to find out how much he is worth, not into his pocket. .-RuraL NeD Yorker.
 Sorrow is not an accident, occur. ring now and then; it is the very wool which is woven into the warp of life, and he who has not discerned the di- vine sacredness of sorrow and the profound meaning which is concealed in pain, has yet to learn what life is. The cross, manifested as the necessity of the higher life, alone interprets it. -The AdUdmce.
 Audiences is justly considered as social crime. The ill-bred person has no place in the social fabric, and he should be as much excluded from polite life as should the criminal from the business transactions of honest men. Beautiful manners are the fine inflOrescence of all forms of art. Noble sculpture, beautiful paintings, the harmony of music, the charms of in- tellectual gifts, all find their highest and most potent expression in manner.
 The chief difference between the savage and the civilized man is in the power and the habit of self-contrOl. The savage may be master over other savages, but his own feelings he never masters, and their utterance he neither subdues nor regulates. Civilization, however, and experience teach men that both should be cultivated. Some of the emotions need development, some restraint; all need training. They are not all fit for utterance, nor of those that are is it wise to give all un- reservedly to the world.

According to historians Pacific

According to historians Pacific Islanders will never eat hens eggs. considering them unfit for food; but they sell them to sailors. The Esqui- maux will not eat vegetables, cOnsid- ering it perverted taste that will in- dulge in such stuff. The New Guinea natives refuse to eat bread and biscuits, and abhor sugar On the contrary, such tribes enjoy ants, grasshoppers. monkeys and snakes. Those Malayans that collect edible birds nests never can be induced to eat of them. African tribes that keep most cattle never taste milk. Salt is where all the world finds kinship, for no nation or tribe but craves it, and needs it. On the whole we shall have to go back to the old Latin saw for an explanation of such d1versities: ''There is no account ing for tastes"

 The robin answers from the hill; But not note does Nina hear Of all the music far and near,
 Save Walters whistle, sweet and shrill. His prairie farm is new and wide, But he has naught on earth beside,
 And in a tiny hut he dwells; And so, except in smiles and sighs, And gentle deeds and wisttul eyes,
 His love for her he never tells. But if the year should go alright, Nor drought nor hail the corn should blight What happy wonders then might be! So saith the maid: 70 grains of gold, Yiel9 him twice hundredfold,

MAMMA'S GOODNIGHT.

Mamma loosens the baby's frocl1, And takes of each little shoe and sock; She softly brushes the golden hair And pats the shoulders, dimpled and bare; She puts on the nigdt-gOwn, white anl long, Running the while an evening song:
 Daytime is over;
 Play-time is closing;
 Even the clover
 Is nodding and dozing. Baby's bed shall be soft and white. Dear little boy, good-nghtl good-nightr Mamma kisses the little pink feet, And the tiny hands so dimpled and sweet, The rosy cheeks, and the forehead white, And the lips that prattle from morn till night; With q last fond kiss for the golden crown Gently and softly she lays him down, And in the hush that the twilight brings She stands by her darling's bed and sings:

WOOD AND WE'D,

The east wind clustered in her ear.
The daisy, shuddering, dropped her heat
Such wooing pinched her heart with fear,
She closed her eye and said:
$40 lover true would think to harm
wee bit thing like modest me;
I'll crouch me down and keep me warm
Till summer sets me free"
The zephyr whispered through her hair,
The daisy, blushing, coyly smiled,
She thought to say: "How do you daref"'
His signs her thoughts beguiled.
He kissed her crown, and crimson lips,
Her tresses trembled on his crest,
But dew drops stained her petal tips
When Eoi drove him west.
The bloom Of autumn wood her heart,
The daisy gave her heart away.
Such love as theirs true joys impart,
Their life was golden day.
No thought how long such love could last,
Twas his upon her breast to lie,
Her matron hopes no shadow cast
That love would ever die.

Late Ideas of breakfast.

: The old adage, mo breakfast, no man, /"
is perhaps as true in some form today as
when first formulated, although of late
years the ideas of people concerning break
fast have undergone a radical change
For the laboring man and for the man Of
much physical exercise heavy breakfast
is necessary, but for the man or woman
of sedentary habits light breakfast is
doubtless much better. In any case,
fruit should always be found at break
fast. Many prefer il after the meal, but
it is not only more digestible but
assists the digestion more surely il used
at the beginning Of the meal. For light
breakfast the fruit should be followed by
one of the cereals in some form with
cream, which is more nourishing than
milk, and by many as easily digested
This, followed by delicate dry toast or
rolls, with coffee, tea or chocolate, and
perhaps eggs in some form, makes a
breakfast so easily digested that many
persons can do far more work on it than
on heavier food.--Table Talk.

LABORERS OF JAPAN.

0feat Poverty Among the Lowor Glasses
Houses and neutrality-suspicious.
Consul Jernigan, Of Osaka, reports as
follows to the department of state:
1t may be said, emphatically, that there
IL great poverty among the lower classes
in Japan, the inheritance Of long centuries
Of superstition and despotism. With q
population of 81, 900, 900, living on an area
OF $50, 900 square miles, two-thirds of
which are mountains and hills, unsuited
for agricultural purposes, labor will con-
tinue, for long time, to he cheap and
abundant. A good laborer can be hired
for Is to % cents per day, and he will
work from a. m. to 8 p. m. and board
himself. The laborsr don't wear many
clothes, and often appears in q suit that
would excite the envy Of the stanchest
dude.
A laborer's house is mostly enc story
and contains not more than two or three
rooms in addition to small room each
for cooking and bathing purposes. The
floor Of the rooms is about one foot from
the ground and covered with soft, thick
straw mats, which are kept very clean, for
the Japanese always take of their san
dals or clogs when entering the house.
Furniture is not used at all in q real
japanese house, except a small table
about foot high and fifteen inches
square, which is only called into requisi-
ton at meal time, the family sitting on
the mats like tailors On their benches.
The bedding consists Of soft, thick cotton
quilts spread on the mats. A laborer' S
house, including everything connected
with it, will not cost more than 500 in
gold.
In such houses ventilation and warmth
seem never to be considered, for the
proper partitions and slides are only pro-
tected In cold and stormy weather by
strong wooden shutters, fitting badly, and
through which the wind and rain find lit
tie difficulty in entering. And there are
neither stoves nor CRATES in such houses,
for the materials employed in building are
so inf1ammable that 1t would be danger
GUS to use them. In the place of stoves
and CRATES there are braziers filled with
heated charcoal, and at night the brazier,
when the weather is cold, is covered with
kind Of earthenware and placed under
the quilt, the latter being protected from
the fire and heat by a wooden grating.
Though labor is cheap in Japan, and its
reward discouragins; though the laborer
is unfamiliar with the comforts which
surround the home of the workingman in
my own country, believe that the
japanese laborer is the happiest and best
contented being ever saw. II his pan
and cup are filled with rice and tea he ap-
pears the very embodiment of happiness,
and over all the ills of life victorious"
The agricultural implements, as we'll as
machinery Of almost every description in
use by the Japanese, are Of the most
primitive origin, but attention is now b.
ginning to be directed to the advantages
of modern inventions, though labor is still
so cheap and abundant in Japan that such
inventions have not yet been received with
remuneration in the markets, and there is
not any sufficient demand to stimulate
shipments of machinery and agricultural
implements to this country, except to I'LL
special contracts.-ScieRtiGc American.
