A WOMAN'S OPINION.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
l would like to ask He" whose article
appeared in this mornings paper, if il
would be better for us mothers, who mus.
either take our babies with US or forever
be debarred from the privileges OF Gods
house, to stay at home with our little
''prattlers" or attend divine services with
them-eyen AZ the risk of disturbing some
worshiper whose hea TT is no deeper in the
service than to be distracted by the inno-
cent cooling of little child? / fear the
kingdom of heaven will be troubled
place for such soul; where, our Saviour
Taught us, little children will be first"

HIS MAJESTY WALKS.

| HIS MAJESTY WALKS.
His imperial majesty comes first and all
alone. have often seen him, aud always
find the same difficulty in Analysing my
own impressions, or conveying them, as 10
| that impassive, reserved, changeleSS, dark,
far removed countenance / have seen it
all day long in the smoke of the mimic
battles at Nagoya, and all night long in the
festal halls at the Shire, and at receptions
and court ceremonies; but never witnessed
| the slightest alteration of its fixed i'm
mobile features.
Only flatterer could call the proud, cold
face handsome, and only an enemy or 4,
soshi would, think, style its austere con-
straint and lofty discomfort i'll looking.
| One would say this is a mikado of the past,
who is obliged to belong to and TO bow be-
fore the too prevailing present, but who
nevertheless keeps his secret soul apart in
the stern and great society of his ancestors,
and with the far off company of antique
| Shinto gods"
| He walks between us alone, his arm too
sacred, too separate, to be taken in public
even by the empress, who comes behind,
small, exquisitely graceful lady dressed in
mauve satin toilet of Partisan style, and
! mauve bonnet, with parasol to match, all
borne with the utmost charm and becom-
ingness; behind her imperial majesty,
also passing singly, bevy Of ladies OF the
court, all but one in European dress, and
following the ladies the gentlemen OF the
palace in black frock coats and tall hats.
THE MIKADO'S COSTUME.
His majesty wears the undress uniform
OF a general-cherry colored trousers and
black frogged coat braided with gold lace,
and on the small, close cut brows a KEPT Of
scarlet with gold band. His bow in recog-
milton of all our bare and Bonded heads is
the slightest possible inclination which
rigid muscles can make, yet withal accom-
panied by glance kindly, benign and full
Of evident good Will. for his lips almost
smile, his eyes are alert and lighted, his
air is, one might almost dare to say, &c
NAL, and these mods of the japanese Jove
must be measured by loyalty with a mi
crometer.
Moreover, when we pass into the refresh
ment tent and the emperor and empress
take their seats the etiquette observed
around is by no means stiff. We may ap-
proach the royal table and speak with
friends there sitting close TO the majesty
OF Japan. Nay, when cham payne has been
quafTed and mayonnaise Of lobster or
chicken tasted, the emperor endures very
humanity 20 have parsonage after person
age presented to him, and addresses 10
some Of them-to the writer OF these notes
among many that were more worthy
some gracious and friendly words IL the
soft japanese, which he always speaks.
The ladies OF the court and the gentlemen

For the Eagle
WHEN THE SOFA GAVE UP THE GHOST.

1t stood alone in the garnet;
In places twas worn quite through;
Harmless enough to look at
From an outward point Of view,
Yet 1t bristled with information;
Six girls had left the fold,
And the sofa-alas. cripple,
Is brought forth to be sold.
First it can be recovered:
Not SO the parents-they died,
When they opened up the sofa
And saw what lay inside.
Hairpins! OF all descriptions,
And oh, the evidence each
Along with the sofa stuf1ing,
Were bits Of curled mustache,
And startling cartoons OF papa"
How he looked in beautiful white.
When he glided in and murmured:
Its twelve O'Clock at night"
And the man Of much uph olst'ring.
Counted Till he was dumb;
The last words that he uttered were,
Sixty chaws of gump

CHRYSANTHEMUAs.

Ranging through an endless number OF
colors, and displaying all forms and fash
ions of structure, the beautiful plant shows
in one place a cluster of close and compact
stars of varying hues, in all the tones and
tints of white, yellow, russell, amber, pur-
pie and cream, and in another fantastic
and disheveled yet wildly symmetrical
blooms the petals flung abroad from the
corolla in beautiful profusion of scattered
loveliness and glory, some as If of shot
silk or satin, some revealing sober lin
ing splendidly contrasted with the brill
liant upper surface, some in tangled deli
cacies of one and the same rich tint.
We are grouped all together, with our
backs to the beauties of the parterre, in a
mass of some 500 or COO people who have
been honored with the great square cards
of invitation to this high function. The
royal card, printed in gold, enjoins all
alike to wear frock coats (''frokko cotto')
and silk hats, and thus we all look more or
less alike-diplomats, generals, naval Off
GERS, MINISTRIES and private persons-diver-

ADAY WITH THE MIKADO
AN ENGLlSHMAN AT AN IMPERIAL
GARDEN PARTY IN JAPAN.

Chrysanthemums and French Dresses
Ererywherc-Native Costumes Gone.
How the August Parsonage Conducts
Himself Before His Subjects and Guests.
The garden party of the emperor is held
on or about the 12th OF every November in
the spacious demesnes of one of the royal
palaces at Asakusa. II is the festival of
the chrysanthemum, which brings with it
so happy an innovation, for at this time OF
year the flower par excellence of Japan, the
national kiku, is everywhere in glowing
and glorious bloom, and the ostensible rea-
son for the gathering in the Asakusa Palace
gardens is therefore to view the innumer-
able and splendid specimens of this special
plant of Nippon which the skillful garden
ers of the court have reared during the year
past.
Everywhere are chrysanthemum shows
and chrysanthemum parties, and while pri-
vate gardens are embellished with choice
displays in all sorts of coiors the hillsides
and lanes are also full of the more modest
and quiet wild blooms of the same imperial
plant, which grows everywhere, and is
everywhere, even in the simplest speci-
mems, bright and pretty.
OF course the imperial gardeners showed
samples of the Kiku which were we'll worth
the study and admiration of all florists
and botanists if attention could have been
devoted to them. There is nothing to be
seen at your Temple Gardens or at any
other center of the cultivation of the gold
en- bloom" in England TO compare with the
really marvellous developments of the kiku
under japanese hands.
