How to Speak Japanese.

japanese seems to be a tolerably easy
language to learn, after all. The follow
ing, under the heading of THE japanese
Language in One Lesson" is from The
Japan Herald: 'Arimas' means every
thing. 'Arimasen' means nothing. Wa
karimas' means to understand in all it's
moods, lenses, persons, etc. It is whole
conjugation in one word. 'Wakarimasen'
is the opposite of 'Wakarimas' 'Dekimas'
means unlimited potentiaIity, past, present
and future, and can be made to express
anything. 1t also is whole conjugation
in itself, and can be applied to everything
and everybody yourself included. 'Deki-
masen' means, of course, everything that
dekimas' doesn't mean. 'Ka' is a vocal
note of Interrogation, and can be tackled
on to anything. 'Ano-ne' can be thrown
in anywhere to make conversation.
after going through the above course
the student is competent TO say anything
When being spoken to or answered it is
advisable to excIaim 'Hoi' Qong) hal (me-
dunn, or 'ha' Short, which expresses sur
prise, wonder, assent. sympathy, absorbing
interest, honor-in fact, the whole gamut
of the feelings, care being taken to ejacu-
late it in different tone every time (minor
scales referable}, with varied and appro-
pirate facial expression, the cue for which
must be taken from the face of the speak
er. When the student is not speaking
this word properly. played upon will keep

A WOruau's Dream.

On Warren avenue, in Chicago, lives 8
good old lady at the home Of her only son,
business man in fairly comfortable cir
cumstances. This is the story the old lady
tells:
ut was twenty years ago. We lived, my
husband and l, with the children, on a
little farm near the Wabash river. My
husband went away with the wheat ono
April, hauling all he had to sell in the big
wagon. he was to be back Saturday night,
and I sat up for him. The children had
gone to bed, but | had little supper all
ready for him, and sat before the fire knit
ting. It was away past midnight, and l
was 80 drowsy l finally went to sleep in the
rocking chair. The night was pretty chilly,
and I seemed to feel the cold.
Presently l dreamed ] was about my
work, shivering when I heard my hus-
band throw an arnful of wood in the box
behind the stove, and 1 thought, Now
can have fire. turned to speak to him,
but he was gone, and while l wondered
how he could have put down the wood and
gotten away so soon heard another sound
like wood falling in box, though no one
was near it. Then l walked up. The fire
was out and the clock showed it was two
hours past midnight. was good deal
worried, but went to bed. Next morning
they brought my husbands body home.
He had been struck and killed by the night
express while crossing the track on his
way home, and his watch showed that the
awful accident had happened at just 2
o'clock. Chicago Herald.

Repetition is the thief of enjoyment as
surely as procrastination is the thief of
time. 1t is with pleasures as with spark
ling wines. You can have the flashing
globules, the rushing foa1n, the rare bou-
quet but once. Cork up your wine for af-
ter use, and the next draught from the bot
tie shall be comparatively fat and taste
less. Take a second sip at any joy the earth
affords and you viii find it less exhilarat-
ing than the first. Novelty Is the spice of
life. No secondary sensations are like the
primaries, and habit, in the end, stales
every luxury.
Middle aged reader, do you remember
the pride with which you wore your first
watch? 1t may have been a cheap affair
always at odds with chronos, and the gold
en- horologe that now ticks generously in
your pocket may be patent lever richly
jeweled. But what contrast between the
indifference with which you draw forth
the costly watch Of your maturity and the
subdued exultstion with witch a dozen
times an hour you paraded the valueless
trinket Of your hobble-de-koy- hood New

One Of the most perverse beings in the
city of New York is a mans tailor. The
tailor makes a mans clothes, but it re-
quircS an unusual amount of persistency
on the part of the man to have the tailor
make the clothes in any other way than as
the tailor wishes. Especially does the tailor
object to making clothes in the way that
the customer wants them. One of the
tailers on Madison square undertook to
make a coat and pair Of trousers. He
took the measurement all right. The coat
and trousers were tried on; neither of them
fitted. The tailor was told to alter them;
they were finished without alterations.
They were returned to Re altered. The
tailor sent them back with word that they
had been altered. This process was re
peated twice, until the customer went to
the tailors and told him that the legs Of
the trousers should be made half an inch
longer. The trousers were returned with
out the le-s having been made half an inch
longer In the trousers pocket was a mem
ovandum paper by the tailor, Make right
leg only quarter of an inch longer" The
tailor had his own way about the trousers
at last.-Eev York Sun.
