The chInnman'. Love of Home.

The ties of locality are very strong
among the Chinese, and hence new fani-
lies, as they are formed, settle down in
life in the Immediate vicinity of that from
which they sprung. Thus one commonly
sees groups, or nests, Of families gathered
about the parent stock. Whole villages
may be found composed almost exclusively
of persons of the same name, and contain
ing -four and even five generations Of one
family.
"~Smithville, " "Jonesville, or, to trans
late more exactly. THE village of the
Chang family" the town of the Wang
family, THE Ii Family Crossroads"S
these and similar names of hamlets, vii

of all the names to places in the empire.

other part Of his own country, he always
looks upon himself us an exile, Is ALWAYS
more or less homesick. and, no matter
how dirty and squalid his native village
may be, he looks forward to his return to
the wretched place as the chief Joy of his
life.
The Chinaman is not, and, without an
entire change of his nature, cannot, be-

The Many Climates of Japan.

Japan is a land of mountains and
valleys, and it has as many different
climates as the United States. You
may find your Minnesota in Yezo,
your Florida about Nagasaki, and over
all you will find the green of old Ire
land Surrounded by the sea, the air
is ever full of moisture, and even in
winter the land is green. 1t is a land
of flowers. saw camellia hedges like
trees near Yokohama. There are
acres and quarter sections of water
about Toxic covered with lotus flowers
as big as a round 5 cent1oaf of Ameri-
can bread and surrounded by green
discs, each of which is as big as a
palmleaf fan. The wisteria here grows
wild and Japan is the land of the
chrysanthemum.- This flower forms
the crest of the mikado, and the poetic
nature of the Japanese people is
shown in their love for flowers. They
have their flower shows three times q
month and when the trees blossom the
whole nation goes wild. Flower ped
dlers are everywhere and Toxic is q
city Of gardens.-Brank G.. Carpen.

company may be driven to bed an hour
earlier than usual, and the comfort of the
families may be wrecked at the lowest
possible figure. Directions for playing the
new intellectual game of poets and paint
ers: Each person being provided with n
sheet of paper and pencil, which the
owner will never see again, the dealer
makes a nonsense rhyme. An example is

Here's his table and chair,
But where is he, where,

When the dealer has composed a gem of
this kind he does not show it, but illus
trates 1t by a drawing. This he circulates
among the company, and each of them has
to make Il nonsense verse on the incident
illustrated by the sketch. The worse you
draw the better. The dealer then repeats
the true original rhyme, and the others
are read aloud by the person in the com
pany least skilled In deciphering hand

rules for playing 1t, with pencils or
crayons dead pencils 2s., colored 5s.G, may

/ Editors Democrat :.
Does protection protect That Is the
burning question which the overtaxed la
borers ought to have answered clearly and
satisfactorily before voting TO rivit the
chains of yassalage upon his sturdy limbs
forever. The last census report shows
that the average yearly wages of the toilers
in the great protectediron industry is $32s.
The same authority shows that multitudes
of other toilers, whose labor is in no man
ner protected, earn upon an average much
larger annual sum. The average annual
earnings of blacksmiths Is $622.ss brake
men, $soS.6o bricklayers,$ $637 60 bridge
