ROCK ISLAND AHEAD.
The Latest Thing in Tourist Sleeping Cars.

The Rock Island has inaugurated a new
feature, which promises to create cons;d-
cradle interest in railway improvement, it
being free tourist car service, with nearly
all the conveniences of the palace car, in
ending colored porters in attendance, fine
hair mattresses, pillows, blankets, soap,
etc. When made up for the night the
sliding panels and curtained with heavy
damask draperies. Tables. attachable to
the sides OF the interior, are provided for
each section. The cars are heated by
steam, the aisles carpeted, and cuspidores
for the cleanliness of the cars are added.
The duties of the porter accompanying
each car will be similar to those of the pal
ace car service-to look after the wants of
the passen gers and see that the car is kept
perfectly clean. In one end is the ladies'
Iavatory, and in the other one for gentle
men, which are as nicely appointed and
furnished as the most fastidious would
desire. The intention Of the Chicago,
Kansas & Nebraska is to furnish these
cars free of charge to tourists or excursion
parties when the number of persons is suf-
ticiently large to justify the use OF car or
cars. With such accommodations, and
without charge, there is no further neces-
sity of western tour without sleeping ac-
commodations, nor is it necessary to make
such trip expensive. 1t Is a great in
ducement for parties, clubs, or any con-
siderable number of persons contemplate
ing a trip to the Rocky Mountains, for in
stance. And too, the Denver& Rio Grande
has adopted the same scheme, and as the
Rock Island connects with this route in
Colorado, the free tourist car system will
no doubt be generally adopted by those in
search of the pleasure and healthgiving re-
gions of our continent.-kansas City

The Age of Fishes

Crows are commonly said to live for a
hundred years, and turtles are reported to
have even longer life; but if Prof Baird be
right, the greatest animal longevity is Dos
sessed by fishes. Prof. Baird says that as
atish has no maturity, there is nothing 10
prevent it from living indefinitely and
growing continually. He cites in proof
pike living in Russia, whose age dates back
TO the fifteenth century. In the royal
aquarium at st. Petersburg there are fish
that have been there one hundred and forty
years.

thetic, disinterested grown-up world, who refuses
to recognize poetry even in a baby, it is where the
odds usually rest.
But after all, there is no such universal worship
in this great grown-up world of ours as is daily
fulfilled at the shrine of these little kings and
queens. The heart of this same world expands to
do them honor, and well is it that the hearthstone
never graced by their presence knows not its own
desolation.
All, fathers and mothers, oftentimes weary with
the burdens of life and the homage TO duty, cherish
the favored hour wherein are rendered you the
power to brighten little lives and soethe tiny
troubles, for there comes a time when the children
are children no longer, and you p~owerless to re-
lieve the pain and the heartache that they meet on
the pathway-the pathway you would fain smooth
and garnish as in the by-gone days, but you can
not pain and heartache that is reflected fourfold
in your heart OF hearts.
Enjoy these treasures while you may, lest in
your memory alone your erect a shrine all too late
a shrine to the baby voice that is stilled, to the
baby smile that no longer greets you, to the baby
hands that tap no more at the punished window
pane; whose legacy is a narrow bed and a precious
memory where reign perpetually the thrice crowned
little kings and queens. - HARYor Holt.

Stories from Buddhist Sermons.

About fifty years since, a famous preacher made
his appearance in Kiyoto and at once so captiyated
the hearts of his hearers that the Japanese have to
this day held him in highest repute and made the
book in which his sermons are published, a text
book of moral instruction.
Okuda Juta, the preacher, a native of Hiroshima,
was a young man of about 30 years of age, when
he arrived at Kiyoto, the sacred capital of Japan,
accompanied by his friend, Togawa Akira, in the
spring of 1899. Akira was much impressed with
the discourses of his friend who preached extern
pore. 70 preserve them he took notes, and in
1843 published them under the name of ''Dis-
courses on Morality."* we says of them, "The
doctrine comes into the heart like the reflection Of
the moon in the water y and we may well believe
that this effect was largely owing to the graphic
stories which form the bulk of the discourses. In
introducing the first of these it is only necessary
to say that the Shojo are generally represented as
women with long red hair hanging loosely about
their shoulders, clad in flowing robes, and are in
variably associated with a gigantic wine jar, a cup
and dipper.
THE sHoJo; OR, BEwAR OF WINE.
Here let me tell you a capital story. You know
the red wooden cloth called Shojo. 1t is said that
the genuine Shojo cloth is dyed in the blood of
some animals which live in the Chinese Sea. These
creatures are called Shojo, and are much like hui
man beings, they talk and are so wise that it is
very difficult to catch them. Knowing their dan
ger from the former experience of their fellows
they remain at the bottom of the sea in deep seclu-
sion, SO that have heard they are never at hand
when men want them. Nevertheless, mans wis
dom is a very different thing. For men well know
that the Shojo are exceedingly fond of wine, so
that wherever they get a Whit of the odor of wine,
up they will come from the bottom of the sea. Ac-
cordingly men choose a grassy place by the sea-
shore and arrange some wine jars in q row, putting
in them some wine and leaving a ladle handy then
close round these, they tie the tufts of long grass
together to look like straw shoes; having prepared
several pairs of these, the men retire to a distance
and hiding themselves keep watch. Now the scent
of the wine soon reaches the bottom of the sea,
and the Shojo perceiving it begin shifting about
with their noses. Soon says one: eli! Sansuke
Shojo, is not that a lovely perfume? 1t must be
wine! Had we not better ascend and see?' "No,
mo-" says an old Shojo, ''you had better stay
where you are. You will get drinking until you
are intoxicated, and then you will be knocked over
and killed. 1t is all a horrible trick?'' Then one
of the young ones exclaimed, "Why, if we only
60 up and do not drink any it will be all right! 1t

The Household Baby--Kings and Queens
of Homo
of Home.


Baby hearts, baby voices, baby hands that sway
the scepter DER the realm of home-parental
hearts that do homage to these wearers of crowns
crowns visible to parental eyes-tyrants the one,
the other ever willing subjects. Such is the abso-
lutte monarchy of this domestic tyrant, the house
hold baby.
There is a fascinating d~aintiness about a baby
that makes homage a pleasure; there is also a
lusty lung power and a steadfastness of purpose
that makes homage a necessity. 1t is a difficult
thought to grasp, that all the world was once a
baby; that all the world was once in long dresses,
'~'mewling and pucking in the nurses arms"
There is a yiyidness in this picture Shakespeare
draws of the first age of man, that has in it more
of truth than poesy. 1t is really something of an
achievement for the imagination to conceive of all
the world cutting its teeth at the expense of every
thing valued in the line of comfort in the house
hold. This conception properly mastered, the
philosophical mind is prone to wonder at the
masses.
What writer has been more pleasantly apprecia-
V - IL ihSAhouoolpiN "a Va UiN DubJ w q
household member than Charles Dickens. There
was Bella Wilfer's baby-such a delightful tribute
as he pays in this word picture:
cit was charming to see Bella contemplating
this baby and finding out her own dimples in that
tiny reflection, as if she were looking in the glass
without personal vanity. The world might have
been challenged to produce another baby who had
such a store of pleasant nonsense said and sung to
it, as Bella said and sung toit; or who was dressed
and undressed as often in four-and-twenty hours
as Bella dressed and undressed this baby or who
was held behind doors and poked out to stop its
fathers way when he came home, as this baby was
or, in a word, who did half the number of baby
things, through the lively invention of a gay and
proud young mother, that this inexhaustible baby
did"
Then from his pen was also "the Tetterby's
baby who cut its teeth on the fingers of the fam
lily and was dragged about from morn till night by
poor, prosecuted little Johnnie Tetterby. In the
latter picture the odds were decidedly in favor Of

ladies who have been so courageous as to offer
themselves for election to the county councils, and
who will thus test the question of women's eigi-

is the owner, says the Penny Paper, of a large
estate in Lincolnshire, and has had practical expe-
rience and the local knowledge which will prove
most valuable on the county council. She is indie
pendent and progressive, claims to pin her faith to
no political party, but believes that political suf-
frage for women and local option to regulate the
liquor traffic are the two leading questions of the
day. -
