,JaDanese ClauSmfn,

No crusader Of the West, no viking
of the North cherished higher idcnl
of loyalty and chivalry than the clans
men of old Japan; no Corsican more
ruthlessly handed down a feud from
generation to generation or cxncted
from son and brother the execution of
q sterner vendetta. The 5atsumn men
of to-day triumph in the fact that their
own swords have avenged in this gen.
Grafton the defeat inflicted on their
forefathers in the year 1000 by the
Tokugawa clan, says the Nineteenth
Century.
Legend and drama recount every
day to eager ears the stories of sons
who died to avenge their fathers,
clansmen that they might slay the foe
men who had caused the death of their
lord. The favoritc heroes, who hold
in popular estimation the place as
signed by us to Robin Hood and his
men, are the forty-seven ronins, u
name given to men who have lost their
clanship. Their lord was obliged to
commit hnra-kiri, or judicial suicide,
for having within royal precincts
drawn his sword on noble who had
insulted him, and these stanch vassals
devoted themselves to the destruction
of the insulter, knowing assuredly
that, having slain him, they would be
equally condemned TO take their own
lives. Still may be seen fresh incense
sticks burning before the graves of
their leader and his young son and
visiting cards stuck into the little tab
let's above them as tokens of the re-
spect in which they are held by those
who know their story and deploro
their doom.
Mr.. Black records that at review
of British troops in 1864 at Yokohama
great daimio was watching with in.
terest the maneuvers of the regiments
and batteries of artillery stationed
there. At the conclusion he was asked
to allow the escort of his retainers who
had accompanied him to go through
their drill and tactics, to which he
readily consented. Turning to Sir
Ruthford Alcock, who was inspecting
the troops, he proudly said: "My
retinue is small, and their tactics are
not worthy of notice after what We
have seen, but there is not one man
among them who, u | say Die, will
not unhesitatingly sacrifice his life at
my command"

The Parent Apple Tree.

The most valuable fruit tree in the
temperate zones is the apple. Pyrus
malus, the parent tree of the thou
sands of varieties that are known in
orchards, was probably native of the
northwest Himalayas, and the genus
is represented in North America by
five small trees and two shrubs. The
first of the species described is the
familiar wild crabapple (pyrus coron-
aria), tree of elegant habit, with large
and fragrant flowers which do not ap-
pear until after the blossoms of other
apples have fallen. The fruit is still
more fragrant, and it hangs on long
stems and remains on the branches un-
til after the leaves have dropped.
The southern crab (pyrus angustifola)
is still more beautiful, indeed it is not
surpassed in beauty by any of the
smaller North American trees when in
early spring it lights up the gloom of
the pine forests with its bright flowers.
The Oregon crab (pyrus rivularis) re-
sembles the first named, and its fruit
has a pleasant sub-acid flavor.

Muley Hassan is iifty-livc years old.
His deincanor is grave and majestic,
ms becomes n man knowing the I'M
portnnce of his double character ~
Emperor and PontiT, and successor
TO the Prophet, of whom he is n de-
scendant. His dark eyes are large
and expressive. His Moorish ply
siognomy, adorned with flowing
black beard, in which nre seen some
white hairs. reveals that in his veins
runs the blool OF the African race,
united to that of the Arabs. He shows
Mt the snme time in his physical traits
the evidence of an extraordinary
firmness, mixed with certain shadow
of melancholy and lassitude.
He receives foreign Ministers and
shows himself in public with fastidious
solemnity. One of the Emperor's SER
wants holds over his head large para

sun. Others are busy tanning him,
abundant in that hot climate; and all
lool, at their lord ns If he we're god
rather than their sovereign. Edmunde
Amicis, who saw Muley HassGn during
n reception of the Italian Embassy,
describes HIM as follows:
ga vestment as white as the snow
covers him from head to foot the tur-
ban is covered by n high hood; the
feet are bare and inclosed in yellow
slippers. His horse is of high stature
and very white, with green reins and
gold stirrups. All this whiteness and
the wide floating vestments give him
sacerdotal appearance, royal grace
fulness and amiable majesty, in accord
with tho very gentle expression Of his
physiognomy."
On account of the intolerance pre-
vailing in tho Moorish Empire, the
function of religious chief is the
most important of those which belong
to the Sultan. IL he did not show alb.
soluto respect for the Mussulman or
thodoxy of the doctrines of Mahomet,
n revolution would soon turn him from
the throne or gravely compromise his
sovereignty. Muley Hassan observes,
therefore, vigorously all religious
practices OF the Moslem liturgy. Like
all members OF his court, he gets up al
3 a. M, in winter MS well as in summer,
to make the first prayers. After that
his chaplain reads him some pages in
the books of Bokhart, the famous Mus'
sulman theologian, who is, in the
opinion of oil Moors, the best relig'
ious authority after Mahomet.
The Sultan and his Ministers give
audiences between and 6 q. m, and

being resumed only at A or 5p. m, to

Loudest Noise Eyer Heard Oh Earth.

No thunder from the skies was ever
accompanied with roar of such vche
mence as thnt which issued from the
throat of the great volcano in Krnkn-
toa, nm islct lying in the Straits of
Sunda, between Sumatra and Java, Mt
10 o'clock on Monday morning, August
~, 1888. As that dreadful Sunday
night wore on the noise increased in
intensity and frequency. The explo-
sions succeeded each other 10 rapidly
that continuous roar seemed to issue
from the island. The critical moment
was now approaching, and the out
break was preparing for majestic
elimination.
The people of Batavia did not sleep
that night. Their windows quiyercd
with the thunders from Krakatoa,
which tcsounded like the discharge of
artillery in their streets. Finally mt
10 o'clock on Monday morning n stu
pendous convulsion took place which
far transcended any of the shocks
which hnd proceeded it. This su-
preme effort it was which raised the
mighiest noise ever heard on the globe.
Batavia is ninety-five miles distant
from Krnkatoa. At Carimon, Java.
3j5 miles away, reports we're heard on
that Sunday morning which led To the
belief that there must be some vessel
in the distance which was discharging
its guns as signals of distress. The
authorities sent out boats to make a
search; they presently returned, as
nothing could be found in want of
| succor.
The reports were sounds which came
all the way from Krakaton. At Ma
cassar, in Celebes, loud explosions at
tracted the notice of everybody. Two
steamers were hastily sent out to find
ont what was the matter. The sounds
had travelled from the Straits of Sunda,
a distance of 800 miles. But mere
hundreds of miles will not suffice to
illustrate the extraordinary distance
to which the greatest noise that ever
was heard was able to penetrate. The
figures have to be expressed in thou
sands. This seems almost incredible,
but it is certainly true. In the Vic
toria plains, in West Australia, the
shepherds were startled by noises like
heavy cannonading. 1t was some time
afterward before they learned that
their tranquility had been disturbed
by the grand events at Krakatoa, 1,700
miles away Youths Companion.

Electricity vs.. Steam.

Electricity and steam recently had
