New Light Upon the Fate Of the Christians
In Japan Two Centuries Ago.
Nov York sun.l
Anyone who reads books on Japan viii
remember that he is told, If be ever visits
the harbor of Nagasaki, that he mus. look
at the lofty rock Of Pappenberg, descending
sheer for some hundreds of feet into the
deep water. He is further informed that in
the seventeenth century, when there were
many Christian converts In Japan, thou
sands of them were cast into the sea from
this cliff DR.. Reiss, . professor in the
University at Toxic, has recently been in
vestigating the records of this Christian
rebellion. He has shown quite conclusively
that the rock of Pappenburg was not used
for the purpose described to tourists No
meption of throwing the Christians over the
rock is made in any of the contemporaneous
records, and DIR. Reiss says that 1t would
oners to that distant place.
What happened, however, was even more
frightful, and the scene was quite different
The Rebellion occurred in Shimabara, " hose
interior has for its most conspicuous object
volcanic mountain mass, called Onsenga,
which is said to have one of the largest era
ters in the world, while its slope and base
are full of boiling sulphur springs in . con-
slant state of efervescence. DR.. Reiss says
that the greatest number of victims of the
rage of heather Japan were taken to On
senga and hurled from a precipice on the
mountain side into the boiling sulphurous
spring below. Japanese sources of fnforna-
tion coincide with the missionary reports
that this was the form of execution COM
monty employed, and that it remained in
use for long period.

TWO SIDES OF MIR. PARNELL

Captain os'hea's Account OF How the
Phsnix Park Murders Affected him.
But Mr.. Parnell was q man with many
sides to his character. Behind his outer
veil of resolute and careless Indifference
there were places of weakness; and fires of
passion burnt beneath his frigid bearing.
'The House of Commons and the public"
wrote Captain O'Shea a few years ago,
''know Mr. Parnell only as the man of
hard, cold and undemonstrative bearing. I
have seen him with that mask off When
the news Of the murders in the Phoenix
Park reached London he came to me, and
if ever public man was overcome by hor-
Tor and grief for public crime it was he
He then and there drew up an address au-
nouncing in few words his retirement in
despair from public life. I myself ap-
proved Of this course under the circum-
stances, but insisted on an hours delay
in order that 1 might consult wiser heals
than mine. In Difference to their counsels
eventually prevailed upon him, with the
greatest difficulty, to alter his determi-
nation"
And all the world knows now that on
the same occasion Mr.. Parnell placed his
own future unreservedly in Mr.. Gladstone's
hands Yet by the outside world he was
credited with Q seeming indifference which
his enemies the Pigottis.s attributed to Q
couscaousness Of guilt

This man is trying to joke his wiEs
about her cooking ability.
He says the household will suffer
from dyspepsia. It's poor joke.
Americans eat too much rich food,
without taking advantage of natural
antidotes to overcome the bad effects.
Nobody wants to diet. 1t Isl nat
ural desire to want to enjoy the good
things in this world.
Read what prominent New Yorker
writes; he had been troubled with
gouty rheumatism and its attendant
painful symptoms for IS months:
Mhave subjected myself for months
to the severest rules of diet recon-
mended for such conditions, and used
almost all the remedies recommended
for gout and rheumatism, without any
benefit, until 1 heard of your i'm
ported Carlsbad Sprudel Salts, which
1 used faithfully for six weeks, dieting
for the first three weeks and after
ward eating almost anything ! de-
sired. All the gouty and rheumatic
symptoms left me after the fourth
week, and my general health and
spirits have become excellent once
again. Your Carlsbad Sprudel Salts
deserve the widest publicity, and I
take great pleasure in bringing this
fact to your notice"
You try them to-day.

CHAPTER <

Clarimond, with scarcely more than Q nod
and hand-clasp to Eric, who waited be-
low, sprang into the carriage which had
brought him from the palace and returned
there at once. He chose to dine alone in
his own suite of chambers, and at dinner
drank little more wine than usual After
ward he went into his mothers apartments,
where she was receiving very select as
semblage that chiefly consisted of the high
est Saltravian nobility. Having saluted his
mother, he moved about the rooms for some
time, and at length paused quite while be-
fore Blanca d'Este, who was looking ex-
ceedingly handsome in gown Of blue satin,
embroidered with silver.
"The Princess almost gave up expecting
you," she said, looking at him very earnest
ly, with her sweet, infantile, china-blue
eyes.
sam so late?" said Clarimond.
''Not that, monsieur; but we feared-or,
1 SHOULD say, Her Highness feared-lest
other attractions would detain you"
He saw the sly innuendo, but chose to pre-
tend that it escaped him.
Really, do not understand" he said.
"Other attractions"
Blanca flushed at her own bo1dness And
yet the courage of desperation possessed her
soul. That soul was no longer in bondage
to the church A new religion had en-
thralled it. Women have rarely found it
difficult to love kings, and Clarimond, if he
had had no royalty for background, would
have appealed to almost any woman heart
As il was, he fired both the heart and
Imagination of Blanca d. Este. In spirit she
was at his feet with that sort of genu-
Election which is tinctured by tang of in
toxicated recklessness. And yet her mien
(ce over hame) was calm enough as she now
replied:
Il mean the handsome young American
girl, monsieur, whom you honored so,greatly
this afternoon"

THE LANGUAGE OF THE FAcx

An Incident Which Goes to Show Julian
Hawthorne May Be Right.
New York SUM-
Sitting opposite to me in an elevated
train the other day there were two deaf
mutes, stalwart, stylish young man and q
handsome young woman, engaged in con-
versation. With skill, grace, and vivacity
the fingers and features of the mute pair
were brought into play in the dialogue.
Now it looked to me as if they were hold
ing an argument; then it looked as if he
were giving an account of something: at
one time their faces were radiant while
communicating With each other through
silent maneuvres; at another time
thoughtful mood appeared in the counte-
nance, or again q resolute spirit, or vet
again some other mental condition.
Perhaps all my differences as to the na-
ture of their sign language were erroneous,
but stand ready to wager a nickel that
some OF them were right, as they were
founded on analogy. 1t is Julian Hawthorne
VINO maintains that the time is coming when
mankind will cease to indulge in vocal
speech, which, according to his opinion. is
q very inadequate exponent of thought, and
o poor substitute for the subtler methods
of expression to which mutes are accus.
toned.

very snxious to 90 to Peking and he In
tended to force his way into the presence Of
the Emperor if he got there, and said that
he did not intend to bump his head 10 times
against the floor as was the custom. Tho
arrival of the Imperial envoy however pre-.
vented him, and he brought back the treaty.
Our First Minister to China.
This treatyswas ratified, and A. H. Ever
EFT, OF Massachusetts, was our first Minister
to China. He died in China in 1847, lust
about the time he arrived there. He was a
man of much culture and wide diplomatic
experience. He graduated at Harvard with
the highest honors at the age of IA, studied
law with John Quincy Adams, and was part
of his legation while he was Minister to
Russia While John Quincy Adams was
President, Everett was Minister to Spain,
and when Andrew jackson bee me Presi-
dent he came back home, and bought the
North American Revie,o, which he edited. He
wrote large number of books, anc had he
lived he might have made an excellent Min
lister to China.
The first treaty with China. which Eng
land got from her, was through war, and the
second war, in which the United States took
part, brought out a new treaty in 1857. At
this time Mr.. John Ward was sent to China
by buchanan as Minister He arrived in
Peking, but refused to get down on his
knees and bump his head before the Era
peror. Mr.. Ward is now living in Norris
town, New Jersey, and he practises law in
New York.
Tho Mission Of Bur!ingEame.
After him we had Minister named Reed,
and in 1862 the noted missionary, Mr.. S.
Wells Williams, became Secretary Of Lega-
tion. He is. the best authority on all
Chinese matters and has written the best
book ever published on China. During a
part of the time he was Secretary, Anson
was Minister, and it was he
who brought China into close communities
tion with the outside world.
Of late there has been little trouble with
the Chinese. but they do not and have
never treated foreign ministers well. They
try to make them contemplate in the eyes
of their people, and to make the Chinese
masses believe that they are merely subjects
or tribute-bearers to the Emperor. The
street of Peking along which the legation
buildings are erected is known there by the
title, "The Street of the Subject Nations"
The Emperor receives foreign ministers
only when he has to, and foreign ministers
are not invited to the homes of the Chinese
officials, nor do many of them consider them
On social equality with them.

Emperor williams Beard

A new twenty-mark piece with bearded
representation of the Emperor was issued
recently, and there was general rush for ii
by sdmiring subjects, who gladly pay q
premium of mark or two for the novelty.
This curiosity arises probably from the fact
connected with the saying that the Hohen-
Eollern Emperors grow more good looking
as they advance in age, and every body is
curious to see whether the beard helps to
verify this saying. That the Emperor
shaved off his beard was generally regretted.

Guilty is not found only in theology. The
fact is that we can 60 only q certain dis
tance in any direction, we can think only
so far into things physical, mental or
spiritual After that, We get beyond our
depth. We fall into all manner OF confu-
sion. And what the confusion means is not
that We have come to the end OF truth, but
that we have come to the end of the strength
of the human mind.
Nevertheless, common life is not affected
by these scientific perplexitiea The dis
cussions of the Semitic doctors as to the
nature of matter do not deter US from build
ing houses. We do not hesitate to walk
abroad because there is scieLti6o uncer-
tainty about the nature Of space. These
high matters make no difference with daily
life The discussions. of theology ought not
to perplex any but the theologians. They
have no more to do with religion than an
acquaintance with chemistry has to do with
eating, or a knowledge of geology with the
appreciation of the beauties of a landscape.
Can Get Along Without Theology.
We can love God, though we may not be
able to recite the Athanasian Greed. We
can read our Bibles and get helps out of
them without needing to know anything
about theories of in-piration. The nature
of the Sacrament Of the Lords Supper is
nOt Oepenuent upon tio fesuic VI zig eon-
troversies about it. Christ died for our
sins; no matter about the doctrines of the
atonement.
The difficulties of religion, then, belong
to the scientific side of it. They are difficul-
ties of definition. They are of the same
sort with the difficulties which meet men in
every direction of scientific thought; they
have no more bearing upon common life
than any other metaphysics.
AS for the differences in religion, they
arise, for the most part, out of the natural
differences in human nature. They are due
to temperament. Religion isl keant for all
kinds of people; and there are great many
kinds Of people. People are different; and
a universal religion must have room in it
for innumerable differences. That is what
Christ taught. That is what Paul taught

The forcing of Blair upon the Chinese not
withstanding their objection would not
lave been a new thing in our treatment of
China and it is question as to whether
China will not have in every case to be
driven rather than lead. No concessions
have ever been gotten from China which
have amounted to anything except through
fear and our first treaty with China was the
result of the bulldozing of Caleb Cushing
who was sent to that country
by John Tyler in 1S43 at an ex, ense
of $40, 900 to the Government He had an
able squadron with him and he forced the
Governor to receive him at Canton. He
wanted to 60 to Peking and the Chinese did
not want him to 60 further in the country
than he was. They sent a messenger to the
Emperor and this man in time brought
back an Imperial envoy who after much OBJ
lection made treaty with Caleb Cushing

not over half a pound per day at first.
The fatter the sheep or lamb the more
flesh and wool it will put on from an
equal amount Of grain feeding. The fat
ness of the animal indicates good di-
!gestion. A sheep thin in flesh has al
ways had its digestion injured, and a
sheep with poor stomach is as poor an
animal to keep as a horse with poor feet.
When farmers sell their focks they often
sell the whole, good and poor, together,
They might as sensibly run the cuttings
in with good apples in selling them. Al

sorts the sheep, picking out the best fol
a high price to those who fatten. TIT
farmer who goes to n of these markets
thinking that any sheep rightly handled
will pay Is sure to lose. He may buy
culls at a very low price, but these are
worth more to kill, just as they are, for
their pelts, and convert their carcases
into manure or soap-grease. It is GER
tain that such sheep on dry feed willnot
live until spring, and the pelt would
not be worth more then than it
is earlier in the season.-Boston Cult

TEACHING 4 COLT TO LEAD.

The Breeder and sportsmap indorses
the following as the easiest, safest and
most sensible way to teach a colt to lead,
Its degree of efficiency being dependent
upon previous training:
Put q halter on the colt and halter
break it. Harness agentle horse in q
cart. Procure a slender stick like q
broom handle (the sprout of a willow.
locut or elm is as good about four and
one half feet long; use it as a jockey
stick. Fasten one end with a thong of
buckskin to the colts halter at the chin.
Make the other end fast to the centre of
the breastplate Of the harness. Then
fasten q long strap or cord to the halter
at the chin, and tie the end back SO that
It will hold the colt about abreast of the
horse. The joekey-stick win hold the
colt off from the horse about four feet.
The strap will hold him from going In
front. Start the horse off in a walk. II
the colt fails to come up to place touch
him with q whip. In FIVE minutes the
colt win trot alongside of the horse,
nor or less agreeable to you as ne is
well or otherwise broken to halter, or as
he likes the company of the horse. You
can turn either way without danger.
You can fasten the jockey-stick to the
shaft where it goes through the strap il
you prefer. Then your stick would
answer If four feet long"

REeULAnrrY on TEE FARM.

Systematic feeding and care of every
kind is the part of a farmers capital
that makes the best investment. The
COWS should be fed, MIXED; and cared
for morning, noon, and night, with ex.
aetitude snd on time. No milk is elab-
Grated while cows are chatting and worry
ing for food and drink. The horses APP
p~reciate regularity, and know when feed
ing time comes. It is ct these anxious
delays that the stable is marred by paw
ing, biting and kicking, and irreguIarity
produces bad habits and bad tempers in
otherwise gentle beasts. The ducks,
geese, turkeys, chickens, and all living
creatures on the farm suffer from irregu-
Iarity more than can be estimated in the
farmers loss OF profit. Regularity
brings c~ontentmcnt and thrift to all the
live stock, kills the weeds that eat up
crop food, and fills the barns with the
best quality of crops, pays off mortgages,
replenishes the bank account, dresses
the family, educates the children, and
imparts tone, energy, responsibility and
character to all concerned.-American
Agricuharist.
