Regarded as Bombastic.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-The British and the
Continental press are alike disposed to treat
the bombastc speech of the German Emper-
or at Frankfort-on-the-Od as post-pran-
dial address of the brutum fttlinen order, and
are inclined to the belief that If it meant
anything at all it merely indicated that the
usual see-saw relations between Germany
and Russia and Germany and France had un-
derg0ne no change, despite the recent meet
ing of the two Emperors. For the present,
perhaps, there may be no open manifestation
of the feeling of Insecurity which prevails,
but it is freely predicted that when the ex-
isting tension, caused by the Balkan trou-
bles and ltaly's action regarding Massowah
becomes slackened, the unsatisfactory state
of the relations of Germany to the Northern
empire and the Southern republic will make
themselves alarmingly apparent.
Foreign Notes.
At Amiens, the capital of the department
Of the SOmme, there was rioting at the poll
ing places, during the whole day at the cleo
tion Of Gen. Boulanger 10 the Chamber of
Deputies. The disturbances continued at
night until midnight, when the military were
called out and were compelled TO charge the
people at the point of the bayonet, in order
to clear the streets. Similar scenes were
witnessed at Lille, the capital of the depart
ment of Nord, and Ia arrests were made.
French Republican papers declare that
Boulanger's success in the elections was
caused by the reaetionaries, who lacked the
courage to advance candidates of their own
The Republique Franchise holds the Intran-
sigeant, M. Rochefort's paper, and the Radi-
Gals responsible for the result of the cleo
tions. Conservative journals state that the
vote which elected Boulanger was directed
against the republic.
Gen. Boulanger is preparing a manifesto,
thanking the electors of the Somme, Cha
rente and Nord for voting for him. When
he has finished it he will 60 to the country
for a rest. He is receiving thousands Of
kilograms today, congratulating him upon
his success. Numerous bouquets have also
been sent him.
Mr. Gladstone, in addressing deputation
of Liberals Of Burelem, said the government
had treated Parnell with gross inequality
when they refused to allow any inquiry INTO
the Times's charges against him by select
committee of the House of Commons. Inc
charges against Parnell, he said, would, II
proved, destroy everything he valued-politl-
cal power and position. But he was going 10
be tried on vague, general charges. .Mr.
Gladstone declared he would never believe
Mr.. Parnell guilty of personal dishonor.
The inquiry, he said, might last for years.
which would mean pecuniary ruin for Mr..
Parnell.

How japanese Babies Are Punished

The babies in Japan have sparkling
eyes and funny little tufts Of hair, they
look so quaint and old fashioned, exactly
like those doll babies that are sent over
here to America. Now, i'm our country
young babies are apt to put everything
in their mouths; a button or pin, or
anything, goes straight to the little, rosy,
wide open mouth. and the nurse or
mamma must always watch and take
great care that baby does not swallow
something dangerous. But in Japa I
they put the small babies right down n
the sand by the door of the house, or on
the floor, but never saw them attempt
to put anything in their mouths unless
they were told to do SO, and no one
seemed to be anxious about them.
When little boys or girls in Japan are
naughty and disobedient, they must be
punished, of course; but the punishment
is very strange. There are small pieces
Of rice paper called moxa, and these are
lighted with match and then put upon
the finger or hand or arm Of the naughty
child and they burn spot on the tender
skin that hurts very much. The child
screams with the pain, and the red hot
moxa sticks to the skin for moment or
two, and then goes out; but the smart
ing burn reminds the little child Of his
fault. / do not like these moxas. |
think it is q cruel punishment. But per-
haps it is better than a whipping. Only
| wish little children never had to be
punished. "A. V. r. Eastlake in St.

Lying Unprofitable-A Fable.

A rat seeing n cat approaching and
finding no avenue of escape went boldly
up to her and said MADAME, | have
just swallowed large Of dose Of bane, and
in accordance with the instructions upon
the'label have come out of my hole to
die. Will you kindly direct me to a
spot where my corpse will prove pecu-
larly oifensiveF Since you are SO ill"
replied the cat, Il will myself transport
you to spot which think will suit"
So saying, she stuck her teeth through
the nape of his neck and trotted away
with him. This was more than he had
bargained for, and he shrieked shrilly
with the pain. "Ahl" said the cat, "a
rat who knows he has but few minutes
to live never makes fuss about little
agony. don't think, my fine fellow,
you have taken poison enough to hurt
either you or me-" So she made q meal
of him. If this fable does not teach that
rats get no profit by lying I should b
pleased to know what in the name Of
common sense or uncommon sense it does
teach. Translated from the Persian.

The mother of the family, q resident Of

with anxiety to know why she had
driven the children and cousin out Of

gave details and also explained that the

through a telephone and then by tele-
graph, should have read: Scarlet fever

tinsui.b ~ outline Of a countenance.

tinguish ~ outline Of q countenance.
Not that the face is either yelled OF
turned aside-it is simply vague and
confused. Then Ire notes, concentrating
the same intensity Of observation, that
the figure, which glides rather than
walks, stirs no leaf nor blossom, though
many must be brushed violently in that
close growing jungle. As the Shape
passes little gaps Of the open, no shadow
nor reflection falls on the still waters oil
the lagoon, and the shy cranes feeding
among the reeds, ever alert to take wing
at the nearing football of a human being,
now forage on in indisturbed serenity,
while the timid humming birds still
hover fearlessly Owe the bells of the
convolvulus.
Fortunate hears a crash behind him,
and he knows by instinct that Felipe has
fallen, senseless from terror, but he does
not turn aside, nor avert his eyes from
the horror. On, and on, till close beside
him, the Thing approaches, but the stout
heart of the young man triumphs over
his natural terrors, in the highest form
of courage.
The Mystery makes an imperative ges-
ture, and Fortunate moves forward in
prompt compliance. His ghostly guide
recedes through the jungle till he reaches
the palm trees; he parts the rank ferns
and trailing briers, and the young man
sees upon the ground an antique, cum
brous mattock, half covered by decaying
fallen leaves and very rusty. Again the
Specter signals command, and the
young man again obeys that fierce and
awful gesture, wrenching the tool from
its imbedded place among the clinging
creepers, and digging furiously, impelled
by feverish excitement to a strength alb
normal. He is bathed in perspiration,
his face is crimson, his breath comes so
short and fast that he can scarce con-
tinue, yet his energy flags not.
Suddenly his picl; strikes through a
mass of rotten wood. There is a jingle
of metal, and as he wrenches the tool
away, he tears off a great flake of the
decayed timber, and lays bare a gleam-
ing Hedp vi Soiu.
He lifts his gaze to his terrible COM
panion, and behold! no more the antique
garb and the vague confusion OF out
lines. Clear, distinct in the broad light
of day, it is skeleton that stands erect
before him
Then he knows no more until long
hours later, when the sea breeze fans
him back to consciousness, and he re-
wives, slowly and unremembering at
first raises himself to sitting posture,
and looks about him.
Yonder few steps distant lies Felipe,
cold and rigid, in the distorted position
in which he has fallen. The eyeballs
are still rolled upward and the lips drawn
back, in the contortion of mortal terror,
from which they will relax to conscious
ness never, for Felipe is dead man.
Fortunate, gathering up the threads of
his remembrance, turns back to the pit
he has uncovered beneath the palm trees,
and there is still the CLEANING yellow
mass of gold, with the bones Of human
frame lying in CHASTITY disorder upon it. -
