The Animals Of Japan.

Some Of the animals Of Japan are quite
different from the same species which
are seen in America. The cats, for in
stance, have the shortest kind Of tails or
else none at all. Being deprived Of this
usual plaything, they are very solemn
pussies. An American n took one Of
these ~tailless cats 10 San Francisco ns a
curiosity, and il utterly refused compan-
ionship with the long tailed feline sIeci-
mems there: but, finding n cat whose tail
had been cut OIL by accident. the two be-
came friendly at once. japanese dogs
are almost destitute Of noses. having the
nostrils set directly in the head. The

Popular Feathered song,ters.


Almost any bright eolored bird will
make q good songster. Just now the
goldinch is quite popular. The male
variety has a sweet, mild note, and
breeds well with the canary. The
female goldfinch is a poor cage bird, and
is never in demand. Canaries are going
out of style, although those imported
from the Hartz mountains are still the
prince of songsters. A good many peo-
pie are now buying nonpareils, a bird OF
fine plumage from the gulf states.
They have a low, sweet note. Mocking
birds will always he popular. The best
variety comes from near Dallas, Tex,
where they are taken out OF the nests
while Young and fed by hand. The
mocker is the only bird that can whistle
a tune successfully, and it takes only a
short time to teach one such a tune
as .'Lauterbach." Tie redbird Is the
hardest bird known to keep, as he Will
butt his brains out in a cage If not cared
for properly. He is a hearty bird II he
survives the first season, but 1t Is
necessary to change the cage frequently
from q high to a low point, then from
outdoors to indoors. All redbirds are
trapped, and then they sing only after
becoming thoroughly tanned. The black
bird is rarely seen as a cage bird. The
American blackbird is a poor pet, but
the European variety is highly priced.
1t has a song peculiarly of its own.
Wealthy people are lately importing Eng
lish skylarks in large numbers. The
skylark is q morning singer, and is tho
most expensive bird in the Market
Bird Fancier in the Globe-D Democrat.

Why the Sentinel Was Stationed There,

There is good story still told in
the French War Office to the effect that
for ten years a sol lier was stationed in
the passageway leading to the Minister'S
private apartments, with orders not to
let people touch the walls. But no one
seemed to know why this was done.
Now, new Minister of an inquisitive
turn of mind determined to find out the
explanation of circumstance that his
fifty predecessors had never remarked,
but no one could give him any light;
not even the chief clerk, nor the subor.
d mates who had been in the olice half
a century. But certain doorkeeper,
an old fellow with good memory, rec
objected that on o certain occasion a
soldier was placed there because the
walls had been painted, and the Minis
ter's wife had got spot on her dress.
The paint had dried, but the sentin ell
had been left. .-Erch1n0e.

The threads our hands In blindness spin
No self-determined plan weaves in;
The shuttle Of the unseen powers
Works out pattern not as ours.
All small the choice OF him who sings
What sound shall leave the smitten wings
Fate holds and guides the hand OF art;
The singers is the servants part.
The wind harp chooses not tho tone
That through It's trembling threads Is blown
Tho patient organ cannot guess
What hand its passive keys shall press.
Through wish, resolve. and act, our will
ls moven by undreamed forces still;
And no man measures in advance
His strength with untr.ed circumstance.
As streams take hue from shade and sun,
AS runs the life the song must run;
But, glad or sad, to this good end
God grant that var ying notes may tend

The world has lost one of its greatest
experimental chemists by the death of
Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite,
and the man who made the wide use of
nitro-glycerine practicable. The new ex-
plosive that Sombrero discovered in Paris
forty-one years ago by treating glycerine
with sulphurio and nitric acid, was never
practically applied until after years of
experimenting. Nobel succeeded in pro-
ducing nitro-glycerine In a form that adj
mitted of comparatively safe handling.
The knowledge Of which Nobel's long
investigations were the fruit was not
obtained without the sacrifice Of some
human lives. Among the victims of the
terrible explosive he perfected was n Of
his brothers. Nobel was a Swede, and
in the quarries Of that country he first
demonstrated the efficacy of nitro-gly-
cerine in its improved form. 1t was not
long, however, before the use of nitro
glycerine for blasting purposes was super
seeded by Nobel's later discovery of dyna-
mite, which is now generally regarded
as the safest as well as one of the most
powerful Of explosives. New York Sun.

The Books Worth Reading.

Go into n second hand book stall.
Under the dust on the rows of dilapi-
dated volumes you may by chance find
some book with worn and faded cover,
with stained and ragged leaves-a book
long ''out Of print" Hidden by that
miserable body there may be a heart of
gold. The name IN the title page may
be one you never heard, and yet this
book may record the stlImbles in the
dark of some bold adventurer who has
dared to step out beyond the light. 1t
may nave its errors, its blunders, its fol
lies, its absurdities, but If it Is the record
of the original thought of a thinker who
turned the human mind to new direc-
tions, who gave new impulses to human
energy, 1t will be worth more as a help
to original thought than all the encyclo-
paedias in all the libraries.
Such a book Is not second hand. 1t
never Will be second hand. The second
hand books stand gaudy in their new
ness, glittering with gold and color if
they are popular editions" chased in
roam, calf, Russia and marble paper if
they are for the ''~gentleman's library"
But within them, WHAT Seldom any
thing but shreds and patches. Burton,
the most honest of all retailers of second
hand ideas, concluded, as the result of
his own pilfering, that all books are sec
ond hand. 1t was n pilferer's conclu-
sion. There is no lack of books which
embody original thought, the result of
original search. The trouble is to find
them.-St. Louis Republican.

"Get my box"
The mother fumbled in a bureau
drawer, bringing forth a grimy pine box.
She opened it and placed it on the bed at
Toms side. 1t was filled with boyish
curiosities and keepsakes. Tom took out
something bright and laid it in the col
onel's hand. 1t was the treasured old
timepiecel Mute with establishment,
Col. Bond looked at the boy in wonder
ment. Going to the window, he held
the old watch up TO the light, opened it,
examined it critically and came pack to
the bedside firmly grasping it in his hand.

boy, give had the watch ever since that
night. / cribbed it, sir"
"You did nothing of the kindl'' cried
the colonel, warmly. Nobody ever
blamed you for taking it. 1t was the
man that knocked me DOWN.

"He didn't do it. The watch fell out Of
your pocket in the fight. / picked it up,
sir. Nobody saw me. 1 took it home
with me-"
"But he never intended to keep it,
urged the mother.
Certainly not" said the colonel,
earnestly.
But 1 did. meant to keep it'll"
"Oh, Tommy Tommy" moaned the
mother, bursting into tears.
'tpn never believe it, Tom, " cried Col.
Bond, pressing the boys thin hand. "I'l
take care of you, my boy. What doctor
have you, madam"
None, sir; the neighbors help usn-
mo doctorl The devili Take this and
get the best doctor you know. Give the
boy whatever he needs. Don't worry
about him, madam; he'll soon be about
again. Look for me back tomorrow
morning"
The colonel was gone. Under his
brusqueness there was a big heart, and
Tom had touched it. Next morning early
a carriage stopped at the nearest point to
80 - alley that a vehicle could reach.
Col. Bond alighted from it and hurried
to the little home. The wretchedness of
the place, the suffering and poverty of
Tom and his mother had excited his sym
pathies to the utmost. He had been a
busy man of affairs, and charity was
something that he had hitherto left to
his wife. The mother answered his i'm
patient knock.

Portable quarters, " he said. "He needs
better care and better diet. He's got the
making of n good man in him, and III

He paused; the look of unutterable
pain on the woman's face staggered him.
There was an unnatural stiffness in the
house.

Tennyson is now in his 18th year, his
ocks are thinning fast and there are
fewer dark ones than there were even
three years ago, but his wonderfully
noble eye has not lost its luster. Most
likely he shifts clay pipe into his left
hand that he may grip you with his
right. This pipe Is his calumet Of peace,
his secret charm for abstraction, his in
cense to the gods. At morn, at noon, at
night, alone or accompanied, the pipe is
his half way house between meals and
the sure precursor of a nights repose.
The Tennysonian costume is seen at its
best in here and does not seem SO much
an affectation. He thaws but slowly. even
in his own room, but the magic of a
third pipeful sets wagging that masculine
tongue and neither jawbone, and if the
topic stirs him he will pour forth fine
rolling periods in the sturdy old English
accents which modern superfine cockney
schooling is polishing out of existence.
As the conversation warns his puffs
come fast and thick and the sound of the
F, ,ipes wakes more and more warlike. Not
the bagpipes nor the pipes of Pan, but
the .'church warlens." as we call the
long clays, for Tennyson has a lordly
wlim never to smoke the same pipe
twice. When the charge is exhausted he
breaks the shank, drops it into a cistern-
Like vase and fills clean one from the
box supplied by his wholesale dealer.
