Stoves on Which Children Igke Cakcs.
Japan has been frequently referred
TO NJ the "Children'a Paradise and
with considerable Justice, for in no
other country IL childhood made so
much OF, and are children surrounded
by SO many devices for their amuse-
nent. In every town. according 90 Dr.
w. y. Eastlalse in the Popular Science
Monthly, there are numbers of street
vendors and hawlsers whose sole Gus.
toners are children.
One class OF these wonders carry two
charcoal stoves. or furnaces, swung in
the conventional manner OF the country
from the ends Of pole which rests
across the shoulder. Arriving at n con
vcnicnt corner, the load Is put down.
and a group OF eager children quickly
gather. For the moderate sum of one
or two rim the children are supplied
with tiny cup Of swectcncd batter
and u spoon. Thus equipped, they
proceed TO bake their own cookies on
the smooth iron top u Tie stoves, fash
ioning the daintcs into whatever
shape they please. and, when they are
crisp and brown, devouring them. The
ame vender also devotes his skin to
children. His stock IN trade consists
Of dried reeds and quantity of midzu
anne, n sort of malt paste. Some Of the
anne Is put on the end of a reed and Is
nodded or blown into some fantastic
shape by the vender. The young Gus
toner dictates as 90 the figure, and
butterflies, flowers, gourds, or what
not are shaped from the sweet paste.
The children. after having satisfied
their taste for artistic design, eat the
finished work, the reed handle prevent
ing their fingers from becoming sticky.

or any other Japanese city. This arti-
san molds fruits, flowers and vcge-
tables from colorcd rice.hower dough,
and docs his work so deity that it is
really difficult to distinguish the artifi-
cial from the real fruit.
This universal love ard regard for
children is also displayed at every
temple festival, where numerous

Two Forms Of Death.
There are two forms OF physical
death constantly going on in the
world says the Vegetarian molecular
death and somatic death, The FIRST is

Every action that we perform, every
breath we draw, and every thought we
think, is each accompanied by the
death of a certain amount of muscular
or nervous tissue, so that molecular
death is n necessary part of daily life
Somatic death is the death of the en-
tire Individual, and Is generally con-
sidered TO take place at the moment Of
cessation of circulation and respira-

prove, Col. Townsend was a peculiar
