A JAPANESE GIRL STUDENT.

Radcliffe College, formerly Harvard
Annex, has among it's undergraduates
this year the first Japanese girl who
has come to this country for an ed
ucation. She is Miss Shid- -Mori, and
she is described as charming com
bination OF japanese features, Eng
lish dress, American coiffure, and
Japanese-Anglo language. She has
been at Radcliffe since the beginning
of the mdwinter term, but she has
been keeping shyly out Of sight
until the other night when there
was an entertainment given by DR..
Sargent's school Then the shy little
japanese maid came forth and gave
a juggling exhibition with as much
ease rs il she were on a New York
stage instead OF pursuing a classical
education i'm Cambridge. Since that
time she has been very much the
fashion.
Miss Morris home is in Yanagawa,
Kinshu. Japan, where her father Is
a wealthy banker. He was converted
to Christianity long ago, and his four
sons and two daughters were edu-
Gated in the Christian faith. Miss
Shid is now qualifying herself TO re-
turn 10 Japan as n missionary Of the
highest order. After she has studied
here n year or two she will 90 to
London and Paris, after which she
thinks she will be prepared TO return
10 her home and convert her people.
She is considered very bright and ex-
tremely well fitted for college work
by the professors at Radcliffe, but
she herself thinks that she is pain
fully backward for her age. She is
nearly twenty years old and was
much surprised TO hear that that is
considered IA youthful age at Cam
bridge. - Chicago Times.

A COAT or MAIL.

A coat OF mail always suggests the
thought Of war and warrior clad
In steel armor, prepared for deadly
combat, but this coat OF mail Is far
different from the steel one. IL Is a
curious thing, and most thoroughly
does IL protect its wearer, who is no
other than the crab.
Crabs are to be found in many
parts~of the world, for there are soft
and fresh water crabs. and stranger
still. there are land crabs. These
last. however, live in wet, marshy
places, always near the water.
The coat Of mall is the she'll or
carapace, as IL is called, with which
the whole body is clothed, and even
the claws, both large and small, are
cascd in this same shell, which IL
jointed and hinged together so that
the legs and claws can be moved at
the will Of the little creature. Since
crabs grow, as all living creatures do,
their shells become too cramped "a
space for them, and there then comes
n molting time when the she'll IL
cast. IL is broken in such way
that the crab draws itself from 10 and
leaves the coat OF mail vacant, while
nature kindly gives a new and larger
armor Of shell. which covers IL again.
This process is repeated many times
while the crab is growing, but when
ID has attained its full growth the

THE tax-gatherer's chief instru-
ment in the Orient Is the bastinado,
IA thick bamboo stick laid across the
naked soles OF the feet, the taxpayer
being firmly strapped to the ground,
face downward. and kept there until
he has not only yielded up all his

Costly Eggs.

In London recently an egg OF the
great aux, or garefowl, n bird which
is now extinct, was sold mt auction,
after keen competition between coll
lectors, for three hundred guineas, or
upwards OF fifteen hundred dollars.
The purchaser was Sir Vauncey
Crewe, n country gentleman.
The highest price previously paid
for n great auk's egg was two hum
dred and twenty-five pounds sterling.
There are sixty-eight recorded eggs OF
tho bird now In existence, but only
ten OF them are perfect In condition,
color and style OF marking.
In 1853 nine ycars after IL became
known that the great aux was proba-
bly, extinct, two eggs brought hun
dred and fifty dollars apiece. In
1880 the price had risen to five hun
dred dollars, and IL has rapidly in
creased since that date.
The egg recently bought by Sir
Vauncey Crewe belonged to collec-
tor named Yarrell, who purchased 1t
many years ago In France. Its owner
had two or three swans eggs and
this one on u string; and Yarrell
bought the auk's egg for two francs
or about forty cents.
Not all great auks' oggs are
alike. In length they vary from four
and onc-eighrr inches to five inches.
The greater number have white
ground, but others are OF various
shades OF buff In some cases the
markings are spots, In others blotch-
es or lines.
No living great aux has been seen
since the year 1874 The birds were
extcrmnated by the ruthless traffic
in their eggs and skins, though their
numbers, especially on the New
foundland and Labrador coasts, where
they were once very numerous, were
greatly reduced by their wholesale
slaughter for use as food.
There are many misconceptions
about the great aux, which Is rapidly
becoming n sort OF tabled bird, like

was not nn extraordinarily large bird
In size IL did not differ much from
the tame goose, and it's title OF

IL from the smaller or razor-bill aux.
It's most remarkable characteristic
was its inability to fly. Its wings
were scarcely more than fins, which
aided the birds In swimming. Their
journeys were performed in the water,
and not in the air Youths Com

In countries where the price OF
pineapples is much higher than here,
the fruit is appreciated at something
nearer its true merits. Pineapple
juice has medicinal properties OF the

dyspeptic il IL invaluable. The un-

Crabs can walk and run as we'll as

TO see crab trundling itself with

throwing the wet sand over itself.

the crab can be seen, nor even a

tiny crab, called the pea crab, so
named from its small size. They are
found also i'm other bivalves than the
mussel, for often within the shells of
the oyster may be seen very small
crab. There is another kind which,
on account OF the length OF it's legs,
is called the spider-legged crab; still
another which lives on the islands of
the Indian ocean. 1t is of large size,
measuring nearly two feet. Its
home is on the land, where it lives
in holes, or beneath the roots of
trees, but always near the water,
which it often visits. There are

so curious in its ways as to be an
object of interest. Detroit Free

KING MIDAS. .

The story OF King Midas, who
wished that everything hc touched
might turn to gold, is known to all
folk, large and small but another OF
his misfortunes is less familiar.
Apollo the go.l>of the sun, was
very fond OF music, and by his mag.
nificcnt play on the Tyre won great
reputation for himself. One day
Pan, the shepherd god OF the woods
and fields, who considered himself
quite IA musician, had the temcrity
to compare his music to Apollo's and
challenged that god to II trial OF skill.
Apollo accepted the challenge, and
Tmolus, the mountain god, was
chosen rs Judge. Tmolus prepared
TO listen, clearing away the growth
of underbrush from his ears, and
Midas, who was IA faithful follower
and admirer az Pan happened also
TO be present.
At the signal Pan blew on his pipes,
bringing forth melody which seemed
TO his admirer TO be perfect. Then
the mountain god turned TO hear
Apollo. The musicians brow was
wrenthed with laurel and his robe
was OF Tyrian purple. He held the
Tyre i'm his left hand, and with his
right struck the strings with ease
and dexterity. When the mountain
god heard these sweet strains he i'm
mediatcly awarded the victory to
Apollo, and all but Midas agreed
with his Judgment.
Midas, always loyal TO Pan, qucs-
toned the justice OF the award.
Apollo, enraged at this, transformed
his depraved pair OF ears into those
OF an ass, that In the future he might
be able TO hear more accurately.
King Midas tried to hide his mis-
fortune under III ample turban, but
his hair-dresscr discovered 10, and
finding that he could not be discreet
enough TO keep the secret, he dug q
hole in the ground, stopped low, and
whispering the story, covered ii.
But thick bed OF reeds and rushcs
sprang from the ground, and began
to whisper the story; and they have
done so from that day TO this every
time n breeze passes over the place.

THE KITCHEN OF A QUEEN.

The kitchen Of the Empress OF
Austria is one Of the completest in
the world. New methods OF prepar-
ing or serving food are adopted only
at her suggestion. Cooking devices
which have become inconvenient or
antiquated are abolished only at her
suggestion. Changes in the person
mel OF the establishment are made,
for the most part, only in obedience
to her orders The kitchen in which
the food for the bluest blood OF
Austria is cooked is huge one, with
all the arrangements ut each end for
preparing fish, flesh and fowl for the
table. Fifty chickens can be cooked
ut once on one OF tire big, whirling
spits. The broiling and baking and
frying occupy small regiment OF
servants. Twenty-Five male cooks
spit, season and stuff the meats.
As many women cooks prepare the
vegetables, the puddings and the
salads. A dozen or more boys carry
the birds, fish and joints from the
kitchen to the carving room, where
long lines OF carvers slice everything
laid before them. = House Furnish

FINGERS AND THUMBS.

Shortly after dinner. while the
scholars were busy with problems In
arithmetic, the principal entered the
room. He was jolly man, and al
ways had some funny story. After
talking for few moments he said :

Ii you answer il correctly | will let
the entire class 20 home n half hour
earlier than usual. After asking my
question | will bring down my right
hand upon the desk thus" And
down il came with force enough to
rattle every slate in the room.

breath and prepared to answer.
Slowly raising his right hand above
his head he said: How many fingers
on both hands?" Ten" shouted

down with Il bang on the teacher $

face as he turned toward the door
and walked out. That afternoon We

REV o. 0. WRIGHT PRESENTED WITH A
 GOLD-HEADED CANE.

Wednesday evening, July p, a score or more of the business men of Sandy Hook gathered in Glover's hall and or ganized themselves into a publiu meet ing. A delegation of one, W. E. Sniffen, was dispatched to St Johns rectory to notify Rev O. o. Wright that gathering of his fellow citizens of the Second vot- ing district of Newtown awaited his pres ence. Although tired out with his exer- tions during the day (his parish had a Sunday school picnic that day), he re- sponded to the call. Arriving at the hall he was at first totally at a loss to com prehend what it meant, the affair being very secretely mentioned. The presid- ing officer, T. J. Corbett, then arose, in- viLed Mir Wright Go chair at the head of the desk, and in a few well-chosen words told him the object of the meeting, and presented him with very unique gold headed cane, bearing this inscription, "Rev O. o. Wright, from citizens of San dy Hook, Conn.,, July 1, 1894" The gift was in behalf of all the business men of Sandy Hook as token of their appreciation of his efforts towards bring ing about the recent successful celebra- ton of Independence day. The recipient was surprised, but in a few moments re- covered himself. He accepted the gift gracefully and made a very effective pre- sentation of the matter of the celebration from the inside, all of which is now a matter of history; for in having history 1t is always nece ssary to have it written right. After q further vote of thanks and confidence in MT Wright, the meet ing formally gave way to social congrat- ulations.
