QUEER THINGS IN JAPAN.

Sentimental Views of the People Regard
 ing Flowers and Marriage.
 The Japanese have a plant called "Omoto," whose growth and condi- tion are believed by many of that curi- ous race to typify the marriage state. When young couple of 'believers" marry, they carry with them to their home a specimen of the omoto, plant it and carefully tend and watch it, in the full confidence that so long as it shows healthy development the permanence and prosperity of the marriage for tunes involved are positively assured.
 The Japanese, as is well known, are full of sentiment regarding flowers, and still another instance of this trait occurs in the matter of proposals of marriage. In houses where there are marriageab1e daughters, it is the GUS tom to suspend from a window, or yer anda, by light chains, an empty vase or fowerpot. The suitor, instead of serenading his inamorata, approaches her dwelling, bearing some choice plant in his hand, and this he careful ly deposits with the necessary earth in the empty vase. Tlfs is done sur reptitiously, and the act is never wit messed. Its performance, however, is viewed in the light of an honorable proposal of marriage, in regard to which the young lady interested is free to decide as she pleases.
 If the donor is the right man, she takes care of his gift, tends and waters it, and thus makes it evident that he is her accepted suitor. If, however, he is not in favor with either the lady her self or her parents, the plant is re- morselessly torn from the vase and thrown aside, where the waiting and anxious lover finds it, blighted like his hOpeS

BABY AND HIS CAT.
The Unwonted Sight Which Attracted An Eyes on a Crowded Street.

The Cnwonted Sight Which Attracted An
 Eyes on a Crowded Street.
 The sidewalk was filled with hurry ing people, says the New York Times. Three peddlers stood on the curb, one with shoe faces, another with candy, another with gold paint. Neither looked as if he expected to sell any thing. Nobody paid the slightest at tention to them. A man without legs came stumping over the sidewalk. People merely hurried out of his way. A man passed, dressed in outlandish garments, advertising a patent medi- cine. Nobody looked twice at him. An old woman whose tangled gray hairs were blown in the wind shuffied feebly along and nobody saw her. A pair of Chinese, an Italian woman dressed as for fete, a negro nearly seven feet in height, Turk swaddled in turban and baggy trousers, a drunk en woman, man with locOmOtOr ataxia-al1 passed within a few min utes and nobody stopped even for moment to look at anybody else, except the beggars, and they were utterly dis regarded.
 Then appeared from somewhere, as if out of a hole in the ground, child about two years old, ragged and smeared as to it's hands with mud and as to it's face with traces of bread and molasses, besides plain dirt. Its hair was tousled and its large blue eyes were fixed straight ahead with all that sweet unconsciousness of childhood written of by poets. In it's hands it carried gray cat. One little fist grabbed the loose skin at the nape, the other grasped it firmly over the hind quarters. Each particular leg of the cat struck out straight and rigid; each claw showed it's shining curve. The cat did not appear to be uncom- fortable, and the child was gloriously unconscious of everything but it's own baby thoughts. The child was so young that it went unsteadily, lettering down the middle of the sidewalk. with the cat held up in front of it like drum majors staff There was not one hur- rying wayfarer-man or woman-who did not pause and laugh. A number stopped short and followed the child as it staggered along. By the time the baby had travelled half block it had an escort of twenty grown persons be- sides the swarm of boys. The baby tottered along, tits magnificent gravity undisturbed, and when a breathless, bareheaded woman came running and snatched up the young explorer (still holding on bravely to the cat) each person in the crowd looked sheepish and hurried away.

MINING FOR HIDDENiTE.
4 Gem Accidentally Discovered Thse Is
 as Valuable as the Diamond.

Gem Accidentally Discovered Thae Is
 as Valuable as the Diamond.
 Some years ago, Edison, the electric wizard, was convinced that platinum existed in North Carolina. He sent William Earl Hidden, an accomplished mineralogist in search of it. Mir. Hid den little knew at the time how full of results to him that pursuit of platinum would be. He could not find the desired mineral, but he found something far better, says the Great Divide.
 In Alexander county, quiet part of the state many miles from a railroad, he was directed by Mr. J. 4. D. Steph- enson to gem-bearing ground, and looking little more narrowly found some of the gems. He purchased some land, returned to Edison, reported his vain quest of platinum, then went back to North Carolina. He at once began to develop the mine. Sinking a shaft in a simple way, he gradually made the opening larger and larger, until superfcially the mine presented the aspect of a stone quarry. Out of this rude pit in the earth were taken unnumbered gems, one hitherto un- known. To thls Mir, J. Lawrence Smith, of St. Louis, an eminent scien- tist, gave Hidden's name, and "hidden- ite," the equivalent of the diamond in value, became instantly the fashion, Its tender-tinted green crystals, it's in- tense hardness and its new beauties when cut were only some of it's charms. From the day of its discovery to the present it has been a hopeless task to supply the demand for it. Every hid denite found is purchased long in ad- vance.
 But, strange as is this flashing green miracle of the earth, the place of it's birth is yet stranger. The laborers who are working in the mine handle their picks with the greatest care. They are on the watch for pockets. Possibly for an hour the digging goes on and no ''pocket' is struck. Present ly the pick goes into an opening; with careful fingers the earth is partially removed, and finally the miner feels with his hands every portion of the walls of the opening. It may happen that his search is in vain, but it is of tener the case that his fingers touch little crystals that are so imbedded in the sides of the pocket that their points alone project outward. They are carefully picked out Perhaps all are beryls, perhaps there are a dozen kinds of gems, or it may be that there are only hiddenites. Sometimes gems worth hundreds of dollars are thus taken from one pocket.

Furnishing a Murderer.

If a man commits murder in Tun- gora none of the natives will defile their hands or weapons by killing him. He is supposed to be haunted by the spirit of his victim until he goes mad and kills himself, but as matter of fact the priests capture and strangle him unknown to the rest of the com munity. The thongs with which the wretch's life is squeezed out of his body are then burnt before the image of Kali and the ashes crammed into the dead mans mouth, by this means purifying his corpse.

Modest CpiEion of Dr. Lowell in Regard to His Afterward Distinguished Son.

Modest CpiEicn of Dr. Lowell in Regard
 to His Afterward Distinguished Son.
 There is something perennially fun ny in the estimate of young poets by their personal friends. Some affec- tionate partisans, to be sure, find a nightingale in every bush, and applaud genius in any versifed production, but the majority of sensible fathers and mothers wait for larger and maturer results before expressing their delight. A brilliant young essayist furnishes a case in point, relates the Youths Com panion, from his own experience. He was apparently becoming famous at a rapid rate, and some one congratulated his father on the fact.
 ''I wish Tom would stick to his law study said the old gentlemen, testi- ly. Sometimes I think he's born foo1!'
 A writer in the Critic says of the fa- ther of James Russell Lowell:
 ''I was in Rome and Florence at one time with Dr. and Mrs. Lowell. He was under deep depression, and sensi- tive to small vexctions. I received one day quite number of letters from Boston, and the doctor, grieving that he had none, insisted upon my reading him some of mine.
 Among them was one from my brother, giving an account of com mencement, and containing some eX- tracts from Lowell's manuscript class poem, which he had lent to my broth CT. My thought naturally was as I read it:
 This will delight the doctor
 ''Quite otherwise. The doctor said, sadly:
 ''I T am very sorry and disappointed. James promised me when I left home that he would give up poetry and stick to his books. I hoped he had become less fiiphtvr"

GIVES THEM A cITIFIED LOOK.
Washington Hairdresser Who Aids the
 Wives of Country Statesmen.

Washington Hairdresser Who Aids the
 Wives of Country Statesmen.
 ( There is in Washington a profes- sional hairdresser who makes a com fortable living while congress is in ses- sion, says the Argonaut. It is an easy matter to get the name of the country politician. A note is sent to his wife, asking permission to show her more becoming way of arranging her hair. Some comprehensive hint is volun- teered, with mild compliment. The letter is marked personal" verbal answer is requested, and in eight out of ten attempts the hairdresser gets an answer to call. Oddly enough, it is the husband who urges her claim; he wants his wife to look like other women. At home she was all right, but in cosmopolitan life she is some thing of fright, and, although he despises himself for the thought, he is ashamed of her. In an hours time the hairdresser puts new face on the woman from the woods. She may not use an inch of false hair, but she wields crimping-iron in a way that takes years of farm life from, her ap- pearance. The troubled, shy, old face is not made ridiculous; instead of curls, the iron-gray hair is cleaned, brushed until it is fluffy, crimped enough to ripple and look three times it's own quantity, and then it is dressed. Instead of the long, iron wire hair-pins, little shell pins are used, and the coils are so lightly caught that the wondering wife reckons it will not be long before they all drop out. Women who refuse to have their hair cut into bang are provided with false front; but in every instance the transformation is admirable. The bill is sent to the congressman, and it is cheerfully pad.

TWO SUPERSTITloNS.
Friday and Thirteen Have a Remarkable
 Hold on Several Nationalities.


 Neither the Friday nor the thirteen superstition is traceable to any satis- factory source, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. In the case of the first we find the superstition obtaining alike with the English, the Swedish and the Indian races, and with each going back to some belief concerning a worshiped being or religious rite. But there the whole matter ends. In the case of the English speaking Christian, the fact that Friday the crucifxion took place is assigned as the reason for se- lecting that day from the other six days as of especial significance. But accord ing to this very argument that day should be one of good omen rather than one of i'll, since the event with which the day is connected augured the salvation, not the condemnation, of the disciples of Christianity. Fri day in no way can be explained as day for fear, though it may be as one of great sorrow and thanl1fulness.
 Neither does the mythological ex- planation of Fridays signifcaney offered in the case of the eastern and Scandinavian people account any more satisfactorily for the superstition, and with the number thirteen the results of investigation are the same. The plain fact is that Friday and thirteen are indelibly marked by superstition, have been so marked as far back as history relates, and probably always will be so marked. The present aver sion to the day and the number is not deductive but nstinctive-blindly but none the less positively, instinctive- and, in large measure, irradicable, despite education and religious teach ing.
 There have been many blows admin istered to the superstitions, particular ly of recent years. New York is the birthplace of a thirteen club, which has thirteen members, meets always the thirteenth of the month, and in a house numbered thirteen. But the negative influence which this organiza- tion has exerted so far is not percepti- ble. Neither is the campaign con ducted by ministers, scholars and teachers any more effective. All that these attacks have accomplished has not been sufficient to be felt. Super stition is as illogical as it is tenacious, and human endeavor to break it down is not likely to succeed.
