Perhaps Mr.. Bowser fell in with this

for he certainly has stuck to the text
ever since the wedding day. One day a
friend brought us a cat to help make
home happy. Mr.. Bowser admired her

The LOST CHILD.
A western aIotber,s storv

A Western Mothers Story.
Twas in the Indian summer time,
When nuts and acorns lay
Among the leaves Of red and gold,
Ny little lamb, just seven years old.
Went in the woods astray.
Like cloud-caught sunshine was her hair
Her eyes of hottest blue,
erlips, in motion or repose
Seemed leaflets of the prairie rose,
And breathed its fragrance. too.
Our settiement was close begirt
With solemn woods-a space
Hewn from the shadows round about.
Where the glad daylight they shut out
Kissed earth's uncovered face.
Into that 'leaguering wilderness
Ny shining fairy strayed.
Even as a sunbeam turned aside
From kindred beams, alone might glide
Into the depths Of shade.
Three days we searched the forest dim
On the old frontier plan;
And l. the mother, wild and lorn,
With blistered feet and garments torn,
Outstrode the strongest man.
Three dreadful days the cruel woods
vouchsafed no hopeful sign;
OH mothers OF the far, wild west
You, the despair that wrung my breast
You only can divinei

OF reptiles, famine, thirst;
And sometimes kneeling on the sod,
With streaming eyes implored OF CT

Beside q bubbling spring,
Whereto some little footprints led.
Stirless my darling lay-not dead,
Not dead but slumberingl
In all her wanderings It seems
The child had known no fear;
Angels were with her In the waste,
And as her arms my neck embraced,
felt them lowering neari
She told me how on nuts and grapes
And berries red she Jared;
And how the merry birds had sung
And fiuttered round her all day long
And how she slept unsecured

HOW JAPANESE BOOKS ARE MADE.
An Interesting Process, Very Different
from Authorship uercabouts.

The japanese author does not write
books. He paints them. As soon rs
he reaches the indispensable minimum
of ideas he shuts himself in his study.
frightened slightly by n soft light from
four-cornered white paper lantern.
He has before him polished table.
one foot high. on which lie his idyllic
writing materials. The paper is of an
agreeable yellow and is marked with
perpendicular and horizontal blue
lines. His ink is held in rich ebony
plate, deliberately carved aud with
depression in which the black tablets
are rubbed 10 nothing. The plate also
carries five bamboo brushes which serve
as pens.
As the spirit moves the author be.
gins painting at the back end OF all the
pages that are TO swing Japanese
hearts and heads. From the left to
the right of each page his brown hands
sweep the brush up and down the per-
pendicular blue lines. With incon-
ceivablc rapidity the pages arc covered
with delicate and varied marks from
the brush. To foreigner volume
Just fresh from such hand is one OF
the pretticst things in the world. and
exactly the article TO be presented TO ,
friend or patron AS an edition de luxe.
But the first success of work in Japan
depends so extensively on the artistic
execution of the brush that no author
would think OF letting an autograph
work leave his hands. When finished
the painted history. poem. or novel is
intrusted TO professional copyist, who
knows above all others how TO paint
words with skill. Besides the expert.
ness of such book painter the scratch

typewriter seems rs indelicate as split.
ting wood.
The next step Of the author with the
indispensable minimum Of ideas is TO
send the artistic reproduction OF his
painting to the cngraver, who prepares
the blocks, vets them with ink. lays
on tho paper sheet by sheet. and finally
presses il down. so that II may take
the figures. with n great palm leaf pen.
The leaves are fastened together and
bound in simple paper covers. Unlike
the Western book fancier. the Japan
csc book fancier cares little for the ex-
terror Of his volumes He wishes no
ornament ON the binding. aside from
the marks of the title in the upper left
hand corner.
The arrangement of Japanese
author with his publisher Is astonish-
ingly simple. One recently answered
the question of European on the sub
ject thus:
II myself pay my publisher. | take
all the risk of losses from my
works. / could not allow. on the other
hand. that any one should profit from
