The BOYS, Festival in japan.

The great event of May, in Japan, is
the celebration on the fifth day of the
month of the boys festival. 1t is
called Nobori-no-sekku, festival of
flags, or Shoby-no-sekku, festival of
reeds Before the door of every abode
which has been blessed by the birth of
boys during the past seven years, rises
tall bamboo pole, from the top of
which are flung to the breeze gigantic
carp-koe-made of paper or woven
stuffs in brilliant colors, one for every
son. This particular fish is chosen for
symbol because it swims stoutly
against stream, and even up rapids,
leaping cascades to the higher waters.
This implies that the boys in like man
ner must be sturdy and indomitable,
stemming courageously the stormy
currents of life's stream. Flags also
are raised before the houses, bearing
pictures of the Chinese mythical hero
Shoki, as an example of strength and
bravery. Weapons, armor and pic
lures of heroes and horses are chosen
for the decoration of the tokonoma,
the slightly raised platform which is
the place of honor in every living
room.
The flower held in highest favor for
this festival is the iris; but kind of
early chrysanthemum, and particular
variety of bamboo, called moso-chiku,
are also used. Bundles of reeds and
mugwort are fastened to the projecting
roofs of the houses on this day

LOVES FIRST KISS
Sweetheart, twas but while ago-it scarce
seems yesterday,

Sweetheart, twas but while ago-it scarce
seems yesterday,
Though now my locks are white as snow and
all your curls are gray
When, walking in the twilight haze, ere stars
had smiled above,
whispered soft Hove you," and you kissed
me for that love!
The first kiss, dear and then your hand
your little hand so sweet,
And whittier than the white, white sand that
twinkled meath your feet
Laid tenderly within my own! Have queens
such lovely hands?
No wonder that the whip-poor-wills made
sweet the autumn lands
1t seemed to me that my poor heart would
beat to death and break,
While all the world, sweetheart sweetheart
seemed singing for your sake;
And every rose that barred the way in glad
and dying grace,
Forgot its faded summer day and, leaning,
kissed your face!
I envied all the roses then, and all the rosy
ways
That blossomed for your sake are still my
lifes bright yesterdays;
But thinking Of that first sweet kiss and that
first clasp of hands,
Life's whip-poor-wills sing sweeter now
though all the winter lands

The Railway Suspension Bridge Mt
Niagara, the first of its kind in this
country, and for many years regarded
as wonder second only to the great
cataract, has outlived its capacity, de
clares the New York Mail and Express,

another and greater structure. This
old bridge was the first of the marvel
GUS triumphs of our engineers, who
have now progressed far beyond it, aud
who have come to regard it as very
ordinary affair.

Bell Founding.

The art of bell founding is undoubt-
edly of great antiquity. The Saxons
are known to have used bells in their
churches, although probably but small
ones, for the Venerable Bede, writing
at the end of the Seventh Century, al
ludes to them in terms which seem to
show that they were not unfamiliar
things. The towers of the Saxon period
have belfries of considerable dimen-
sions, in most cases; and at Crowland
Abbey, in South Lincolnshire, there
was famous peal of seven bells many
years before the Norman Conquest.
The monks mt that time, and for long
after, were the chief practitioners of
the art of bell founding which, in
deed, is one of the many things those
well-abused men have handed down to
us. Their bells were rarely without
inscriptions, often in very bad Latin,
containing perhaps some obscure joke,
the point of which is quite lost. More
often they were of religious nature,
sometimes, we fear, not unmixed with
dash of superstition, rs when the bell
declares that its sound drives away the
uelnons oi tue hir VINO chuSeu pestu-
ence and famine, lightning and thun-
derstorms. AS rl,le. unfortunately,
they put no dates 1t their bells, de-
feet which has been in some measure
overcome by the researches of many
enthusiastic campanologists, but which
is likely to keep the early history of
bells shrouded in darkness for long
time to come -Gentleman's Maga-

Captain Molard, professor at ST
Cyr, Francs West Point, who ought
to be good authority, has made care
full calculation of the force of soldiers
now under call in Europe He puts
France Mt the head, with $500, 900 ;
next, Russia with 2, 451 900; close upon
her, Germany with 2,417,0 then,
after q long interval, Italy, with l ,514, :
600; while fifth among the armies
comes that of Austria Hungary, with
1,050, 600. A great drop brings lis to
Turkey, with 100000; to England,
with 342, 900; and to Spain, with 800, :
900. The lesser powers put together
can muster l ,2S9, 900, so that the ag-
gregate would be IL, ,563, 900. 1t is u
tremendous aggregate for Europe to
maintain, comments the New York
Sun. However, only a small part of
these forces are constantly with the
colors, forming what we should call
the regular or standing army, They
include the reserves of various grades,
and perhaps only fourth or fifth of
the whole body are always under arms.
These figures, nevertheless, as we un
derstand the matter, shows us the
number on the rolls or in the calcula-
tions for possible use in time of war,
and for which provision is made of
some sort in the military budgets.
But Captain Molard expects these num-
bers to be far outdone seven years
hence. From various calculations and
surmlses he concludes that in the year
1900 Germany will have 5000, 900 sol
diers; France, 4,35O, 900; Russia, A.
600, 1000; Italy, 1926, 900; Austria
Hungary, 1900, 900; Turkey, 1,15O,-
600; Spain, 100000; England, 602, :
900, and the smaller powers 1882, 900.
Here would be prodigious aggregate
of %, 100000. This calculation for the
year 1900 supposes, therefore, an nd
dition of nearly 10000, 900 to the
crushing military establishments of to-
day. 1t is not beyond the domain of
a reasonable possibility that before the
Twentieth Century arrives the huge
military fabric of Europe will tumble
of its own weight, and that, under II
general plan of disarmament, the
armies of that period, instead of being
nearly double those of 1898, may not
be more than hall as great.

The New York Post states that
Biblical students the world over will
take great interest i'll the reported dis
covery by Professor Harris, in the
Convent of Mount Sinai, of complete
Syrian text of the Four Gospels. 1t
was from the ignorant and secretive
monks of Sinai that Tischendarff
finally obtained his famous Codex
Sinaiticus forty years ago, and Professor
Harris's find is even more precious, if
the report is correct, since this Syrian
version doubtless antedates any extant
New Testament manuscript in Greek.
1t promises to be of the highest i'm
portance to Biblical scholars in the
light which it will shed upon that
question which critics are now so
earnestly debating evolution of
the text of the New Testament as we
now have it. Professor Harris has
already gone far towards fulfilling his
own prophecy, made in his recent edi-
tion ofthe new-found apocryphal Gospel
of st. Peter, that the next generation
would see more important discoveries
in Christian antiquities than the past
four eatturies put together.

Dinner was announced, however,
before the young man appeared, so
it must again be deferred.
If LIE Roy knew that his father had
seen that check he was either most
remarkable actor or a hardened villain.
There was in his manner not the slight
est trace of nervousness or fear. IF
any change could be discerned it was n
slight increase of the respect and
tenderness in his manner toward his
father, which had withstood all indul-
gence.
AS they passed into the library after
dinner, LIE Roy remained standing at
the table when his father was seated.
81 am going to the opera tonight
with Mrs. Van Cruger's party" he
said; ''but before go want to say to
you, sir, that 1 have been thinking

begin to realize little of what you

appreciative nor grateful, l know, and
great deal of it all has been thrown
away, but whatever 1 can do now to
make up for it shall try to do faith

And leaning down he put his arms
around his fathers neck-as he had
done years ago-and kissed the glow
ing, grand old face with new reverence
and solemnity.

A compendium of consular reports
on the condition of European roads has
just been issued by the State Depart
ment at Washington. Two features of
this report should be of especial in
terest to American farmers In the
first place, the highways of France,
+ Germany, England, Holland and
Belgium are far superior to those of
the United Statess A fair sample of
the statements on this point is that of
one of the consuls in France. He
says: "The wagon roads of France,
always passable and reaching all centres
of population, no matter how small,
are the chief competitors of the rail
ways, as means of communication by
water are not numerous The other
point which ought to interest American
farmers, adds the Chicago Herald, is the
effect which these splendid roads have
had on the price of land and on the
prosperity of the small landowners.

Courteous Bandits of China.

If bank in the city wishes to send a
large amount of money to Pekin, the
banker sends gift to the chief of the
banditti infesting the territory through
which the money is about to pass, tell
ing him the time the silver will be sent,
and requesting that it be not disturbed.
When such request is made, ac-
companied by a handsome present, it is
usually honored. These banditti are
not the only robbers. The Government
is engaged in the same business.
Taxes are very high. and every time
one comes in contact with the rulers it

A Generous Cat.

says: Il once had cat which always
sat up to the dinner table with me,
and had his napkin round his neck and
his plate and some fish. He used his
paw, of course, but he was very par
ticular and behaved with extraordi-
nary decorum. When he had finished
his fish 1 sometimes gave him piece
of mine. One day he was not to be
found when the dinner bell rang,
SO we began without him. just as
the plates were put round puss
came rushing upstairs and sprang
into his chair, with two mice in his
mouth. Before he could be stopped
he dropped mouse on his own plate
and then one on mine. He had di-
vided his dinner with me, as / had
often divided mine with him. Lon

In the forest, in the glen,
Where the sunbeams dance and gleam
By the brooklet's silvery stream,

Where the trembling willows shiver,

To thy heart, o, spring, again!
We are coming, we are coming
Scattering sweetness all the wayi

Whispering of the dawning golden,
Breathing still the mystery olden

water put half pound of sugar of
lead (the acetate of lead) and half a
pound of alum stir this at intervals
until it becomes clear, then pour it off
into another pail and put the garments
therein and let them stand for twenty
four hours. Then hang up to dry
without wringing. Garments treated
thus can be worn in the widest storm

getting even damp. The ra:n>hangs in
