The Interior of Japan.

There are no homes nestled down in copses of wood, or mansions surrounded by lordly parks The music of no dis tant church bell reaches and lulls me, nor does the carol of the mountain herdsman, tho chants des vacl,e-s-coune in xvavy de- Hciousness from any distant lofty pastur- age. But in place of these one looks upon mountains cutting the sky with lofty cones green to the very summit, and clothed in wealth of forests far up the sloping sides-ranges of hills from 1000 to 5000 feet high, not stretching in fatiguing sameness, but notched, bro ken, bent, in short, graceful curves, then lifting into sharp points never the same in any direction, and never hurting the eye by rocky coldness or sandy or brown barrenness. But few peaks exist in the land so lofty as to reach beyond the line of vegetation. When the tree
 line is passed there comes grassy verdure 50 luXuriant that the tallest heights seemed clothed in emerald velvet. One looks far up narrow valleys, which else where would be wild gorges, and sees them terraced far into their depths and gariegated with various crops in all stages of maturity, from those but lately planted and freshly green to others golden and ready for the sickle. Every mountain slope, every mountain gorge,
 $ thus terraced as far up as streams offer opportunity for the irrigation. Ter Harrison in Chicago Mail.

RafTIe for ;c Girl.

Some people will, perhaps, hardly be- lieve it, but 1t is fact that an old MeXi- can on the Sonora side of the line is BOW trying to dispose of his daughter, aged fifteen, by railing her of. His arrange ment IS to sell thirty tickets at one dol lar each, and he promises to faithfully deliver the girl to the winner and that he may do as he sees fit with her Accom- panied by the Il the other day he call ed upon party If carpenters at work on a building and endeavored to sell them tickets. He spoke of her good and attractive points just as horse dealer would dilate upon the merits of a horse | he were endeayoring to sell. The old man laid eloquent stress on the girls shape, voluptuousness and excellent | health, and was profuse and emphatic in asserting her chastity, offering to allow | physicians examination to be made. He also dwelt at considerable length up- on her ability to cook, wash and iron, and to do all the work usually devolving upon housewife. While the father was expatiatiug so earnestly upon her fine appearance and wifely qualifications l the girl manifested considerable shyness | ana appeared greatly enloarrdsseu. Oue of the carpenters said to her: Suppose should buy a tlcket and prove to be the lucky man, what would you dol' The girl hung her head and while the color arose to her cheeks, replied that she would go with him and do the best she could at housekeeping for him. Of course, none of these gentlemen bought tickets, but all felt like making the old man trot around a post for while.
 This is not an isolated case of that character which has occurred here. Once not very many months ago, a Mexican woman sold her daughter, sixteen years old, to Chinese mercahnt for SIS. The Chmaman kept the girl until he becam tired of her and then sent her home for her parents to care for.-Nogales Re 1 SarYe

THE MENTAL "BLlND SPoT.D
pr. Holmes Theory of the "Idiotic Area
 in the Organ of Intellect,

Dr. Holmes Theory of the "Idiotic Area"
 in the Organ of Intellect.
 The analogy between the organ of wis., ion and that of thought is so obvious and familiar that it does not require illustra- ton. Now, just at the entrance of the optic nerve is small circular area, known as the blind spot. Certain essential ana- tomical elements are wanting in this little space, and though the visual image is painted on it, the picture is blank to the perception. Is there not blind spot in the organ of intellect as well as in that of vision-an idiotic area, where ideas arc represented, but not transmitted to the intelligent center2 "Think a mo- ment, we say to a friend who is enter taining some (to us) self evident absurd ity. Paraphrased this would be: You have got a bit of nonsense on your men, tai blind spot, your idiotic area. Shift it if you can into place where the mental elements are not deficient, as in that empty region.
 must appeal to the experience of others if they are not conscious of such blind spot in their intelligence If they recognize it as fact that they have such spot, they can account for many ab- surdities and contradictions in their own field of thought and that of others. For this idiotic area is the vacant lot where inconsistent, incoherent, unrelated ideas come together and disport themselves, or lie loose, scattered over it. Many simple puzzles and idle fancies find their way there and claim right of domicile, until awakened reflections drives them away. Let me give an instance or two. ''Ex- cuse me-" said the barber to the lantern jawed man, ''if put my finger in your mouth to press your cheek out" "No, no," said the man he was shaving. ''I am afraid you'll bite me-" Dean Swift mentions in one of his letters to Stella an odd whim of his own: 'I had my mouth full of water, and was going tc spit it out, because I reasoned with myself, how could I write when my mouth was fullr" In the persons we call ''absent minded" 7" the idiotic area extends over a wider space than it covers in most indi- viduals.
 This theory-for dare not announce it as positive discovery-is very con- venient application to cover ones own mental slips and to account for those of ones neighbor. No person of good tenn per and philosophic habit of mind could take offense at the question, politely asked, ''Does not that view or that argu- ment come from your idiotic area?" When John Stuart Mill suggested the possibility of universe where two and twe would make five, I should have wished to hint in a modest and civil way that this supposition had the idiotic area IS it's natural habitat.-Ohver Wendell Holmes in Atlantic.

Facts About Telescopes.

''Oh, no, sailors are not the only per sons who purchase telescopes, said a re- taller in optical goods to reporter re- gently. ''A great number are being sold now. You would be surprised if you knew how many there are in this city who take an interest in star gazing, and a great many gentlemen have some very fine telescopes mounted in small ob- servatory on the roof of their house. The sale of telescopes is rather on the in- crease than the decrease. Yachting is getting more popular every year, and every yachtsman, even if he only has a small catboat, must have telescope. "
 ''What do they cost?"
 ''Any price you like. I can give you one for $1, and can make you one for just as much money as you like to give. The most popular kind just now is mounted on black or tan leather case. It will shut up into about six inches of space and only costs $25."-New York Mail and Express.

Wedding Presents in China.

The ceremonies employed in Chinese marriages differ widely in the various provinces and districts. In all, however, Ego between" is engaged to find, in the first instance, a fitting bride for the would be bridegroom; to conduct the preliminary proceedings of bringing the parents to terms, and to see to the cast ing of the horoscopes and the exchange of presents. The gifts presented are of infinite variety; but in almost every case a goose and a gander, the recognized emblems of conjugal fidelity, figure con- spicuously among the offerings made by the bridegroom.
