A TACTFUL EMPRESS.

The empress of Japan-being that
sweetest of all sweet creatures, a
womanly woman-has upon many oc-
casions openly evinced her deep in
terest in the Wee Ones of Japan, Civ
ing freely to all institutions that exist
to benefit them in any way, even
practicing all sorts of touching little
economies that she may be able to
swell her contributions to certain
charities that most interest her.
The conduct of this ideal woman
upon certain sad occasion her de-
voted subjects are never weary of
describing. Prince Iwdkura, a fear
less Japanese leader in the moment
Gus days of the crisis-from which the
lovely archipelago is still trembling in
! its subsistence to what seems assured
stablllty-lay dying in his yashiki.
The empress announced her intention
| of paying Iwakura visit in person.
The poor prince, weak, and, as have
said, about'to die, was thrown into a
dangerous state of excitement upon
receiving the news, but he managed
to borrow from some hidden nervous
force sufficient strength to grasp his
writing box and brushes and to paint
her an urgent but most respectful re-
quest not to think of coming to him.
He forced upon her as excuse for de-
clining SO great an honor the fact of
his rapidly approaching death, and
J
his consequent inability to acknowl-
edge her visit with even a sixteenth
part Of the homa it demanded. He
begged her to deign to kindly consider
how i'll he must be when it remained
an impossibility to throw off the
malady even for her entertainment.
In reply, winged with speed, came a
dear little missive whose import was
as follows:
81 come not as your empress, but as
the daughter of your fond we'll wish
er and coadjutor, and as your own
anxious friend"
ShOrn of all ostentation and display,
the empress arrived, and remained
beside her grateful subject until his
final summons.
Some years ago, when the imperial
palace was burned, the unselfish en-
press, amid all the excitement and
discomfort she was for the nonce call
ed upon to endure in a hasty flight to
comfortless old yashiki, thinking
first of her subjects natural concern
for her comfort, sat down and wrote
them dainty little rhyme, which
proclaimed as erroneous the report
that she had changed her residence.
1t coyly asserted that her home had
always been in the hearts of her peo-
pie, and that she sincerely hoped that
neither by flame nor by cold could
she be driven from that dear abode.

A Family's Adventures.

The Hunt family left Connecticut
many years ago, and went West in
pursuit of sshealth, wealth and happi-
ness" as Mr.. Hunt said. They were
a long time going, and made trial of
great many different localities be-
fore they settled down to battle with
billiards., wolves and grasshoppers,
away up in the lake region of North
ern Minnesota, where the Mississippi
was easily fordable in the dry season.
cit is hard times for you, away up
here" said a land agent to Mr.. Hunt
one winter day, "New England people
do better further South. Gut some
timber, make you raft, load your
effects upon it, and as soon as the
water is high enough to float it,in the
spring, get yourself out of this"
The Hunt family took this disinter
ested advice, and went further south,
by easy stages, Or easy floats; for
they stopped and settled down re-
peatedly, only to pull up stakes and
go on again, sometimes upon another,

the place got tired of them.
After an interval of half dozen
years, during which children had
been born to them, and they had
gained in experience and health, if
not In "wealth and happiness" they
found themselves settled down once
more upon a green dot of an island in
the Gulf of Mexico, not far from the
Texas coast.
sSure enough said Mother Hunt,
'this is queer place for woman
born and brought up in the hill coun-
try Of Eastern Connecticut. But she
did not fret at all; she was not given
to fault finding, and with her Yankee
tact and thrift, she made the rude
little cabin into real home; roasted
sweet potatoes in the ashes made
from the drift wood fire, and caused
everyone about her to be as busy as
herself. When there was nothing else
to do, she set the family to gathering
and piling up drift wood.
All the way from Minnesota to this
place they had brought with them a
mother cat called Dine. Everywhere
along their journey they have been
told that it was bad luck to move a
cat, and Dine had met with scores of
hair breadth escapes. Her bed was
in a large basket with two, uplifted
lies, and she slept just as unconcerned-
ly, whether her basket was on a raft
or fiat boat, as she did if it set in the
sun under palmetto tree, where she
could watch the birds fit in and out
among the branches.
So to this island there came with
the Hunts, as live stock, Dine and
four young kittens. They had not
been there long before some men in a
skiff threw a cat overheard within
sight of their cabin door, and it swan
ashore and came shivering to their
hearth.
eve will not turn it out, poor
thing" said Mother Hunt, although
what we want with six cats is more
than can tell" Willie, the Oldest
son, however, was fond of cats, and
the next time he went to main land
with father he brought back three
pretty black and white kittens.
Then Mother Hunt had to scold a
little. But Willie said woman had
asked him to take them out in his
boat and drown them and he had
taken them to oblige her. He put
