Burial of a Japanese Girl.

Recently q sixteen-year- old Japanese
girl, named Saski Nitsu, died on the
train en- route to Columbus, Ohio, from
Louisville. She was member of a
wire walking troupe, and she had ere.
dentials from the chamberlain of the
Emperor certifying to her wonderful
ability. With the troupe were Saski
Nitsu, sister, brother and her father,
besides five other Japanese. Next morn
ing there was japanese funeral cere-
mony Mt the office of the coroner, which
was witnessed by quite number of
citizens. As soon as tho girl died in.
cense of some kind was burned and n
sword placed across her breast to keep
evil spirits away.
The troupe were taken to the coroner's
office wearing their hes. garments, tho
feet being covered with kind of white
cloth stockings, having place for the
big toe and wearing wooden shoes about
two inches high, held in place by
white cord passing obliqucly from about
the center of the foot to a point between
the big toe and thence to the opposite
side, where it is again fastened to the
wood. These shoes are only worn DUR
ing muddy weather, but they were all
new and indicated that an ample supply
had been brought for an emergency.
AS the party filed into the room they
gathered around the caskct, and at a
sign each reverently put his hands to-
gether, placing the ends of the fingers on
the lips and Offering q silent PRAYER,
which was continued about one minute.
After this simple ceremony the sister cut
lock of hair from the head of the de-
ceased, the four men carried the caske:
to the hearse and the procession pro-
cession proceeded to Green Lawn ceme-

Many Of the Esouimaux of my acquaint-
ance also spoke of this curious but
effective way the polar bear uses whom
circumstances are favorable.
The most common food of the ico-
bear (as the Germans very appropriately
call this beast) is the common seal of tho
Arctic regions. This latter brute is tho
wariest animal of the north, and both
Eskimo and polar bear have to display
their keenert strategy to catch it. In the
summer, when the snow is off tho leo of
the oceans shore and islets, the seals can
be plainly seen as black dots on the level
ice, probably asleep, but always near
their holes, which lead down through
the thick ice to the water
below, and into which they can
throw themselves by the least move
ment. Bruin, seeing one afar, walks up

How the Elk Changes His Ant1ers.

Those who take an interest in the
study of natural history may be pleased
to know that in few weeks the stag elk
in the deer glen in the park will undergo
decided change. He will soon be
shorn of the royal antlers that have made
him the pride of the glen.
With the loss of the antlers the stag
will change his disposition entirely and
become as docilo and tractablc as lamb.
He will show an inclination to court
public petting rather than avoid it. He
will remain in this condition of temper
until the beginning of March, when he
will show disposition to Turk in seques-
tered spots of the glen and timidly avoid
the presence of all, even of his kind.
During this period, on the spot where
the late antlers were, pair of protuber-
ances will make their appearance COW
cred with a soft, dark, velvety skin.
These will attain q considerable growth
in n few days. The carotid arteries of
these protubcrances will enlarge with
them in order TO supply sufiiciency of
nourishment. When the new antlers
have attained their full growth, which
WIZ w Al tCh WCChS ufCCf LuC UIQ ones
have been shed, the bony rings at the
base through which the antlers pass will
begin to thicken, and gradually filing
up will compress the blood vessels and
ultimately obliterate them. The vel
vety skin that surrounds the bone, be-
ing thus deprived of nourishment, will
lose its vitality and will be rubbed off in
shrcds by the stag on the edges or rocks
or other hard substances.
AS soon us tho full size of the antlcr
is attained the docilc disposition of the
elk will disappear, and he will become
once more for the year the ficrco king of
the glen.
The ago of the elk, according to
writers on natural history, is computed
by the number of points on the antlers.
at the present time there are six. The
next set will bear seven, showing that
seven summers have passed since the
date of his birth.-iSan Francisco Chroni-
clio.

but this seems too much like horse
walking down to the river for drink
alter eating each grain of corn in his
crib; both would starve to death on this
plan, and not for want of corn or clans
either.
The musk OK and reindeer live ON
moss about the whole year. In the
summer this is easy to get at and in pro-
fuse quantities, especially in the low, fat
valleys of the Arctic streams and their
tributaries, as well as in the rocky
portages that lead from one lake to the
other, in this country that is SO thor
onghly studded with,lakes and lakelets.
In the winter time the problem is not so
easy, for much of tho ground. and
especially that very part of it where the
moss Is In the greatest quantity, is
covered with snow. Tho tops of the
hills and ridges are kept more or less
clear of it by the fierce gales that rage
in the fall and spring when tho SHOWS
are falling, and this gives sparse picking
to the reindeer and musk oxen at this
season of the year. This is enough to
keep them alive, evidently, but certainly
they do not grow fat on it. In the fall
of the year the reindeer are literally
as fat as pigs, and great masses of TODD.
moo (as the Eskimo call the reindeer fat).
sometimes weighing twenty to thirty
pounds, can be stripped from the carcass
at this season. But in the winter all
this has disappeared and the meat IS OF
blush slate color that is not inviting at
all by comparison with the tender, juicy
steaks OF the autumn months, when the
req meat is fairly marbled with fat. The
musk oxen do not vary SO much as the
reindeer, however, and they are never
very fat in the summer or very lean in tho
winter. =

reindeer and musk oxen, but on The
