A JAPANESE BEAUTY.


Translated from the Japanese.
Her figure so trim
AS the willow trees bough Is as graceful
and slim;
Her complexion's as white as is Fujis
hOar peak
Meath the SHOWS of midwinter-like dam
ask her check
With dear little nose,
And two eyes black as sloes,
Andapair of ripe lips which, when parted,
disclose
Pearly teeth-her fine eyebrows obllquely
are set
qn Japan that's a beauty)-her hairs
dark as jet
And is coiled in thick masses on top of
her pate
In wonderful chignon as big as a
plate
(There are eight styles of chignon, just
here may | tell
My fair readers, as known to the Japan
ese BELIEF
Then, to heighten the beauty bestowed
on her part
OF kind Nature, she's called in tn assist
ance of Art,
For rice powder to render more dazzingly
fair
Her face hands, neck and chin--cherry
oil for her hair
Just as soupcon of rouge to embellsh her
lip,
And host of cosmetics my memory that
slip.
To complete the fair picture of bright
loveliness,
Add to all this the charm of her elegant
dress:
Satin, Grape and brocade
Here contribute their aid
For the long, flowing garments in which
she's arrayed,
Which hang loose from her shoulders, in
fanciful fold,
All embroidered with storks and plump
blossoms in gold;
Next broad velvet girdle encircles her
waist
Tied behind in a huge bow; her feet are
incased
In small, spotless white stockings, which
timidly peep
From beneath her red jupon's elaborate
sweep;
And a hairpin Of tortoise shell, dainty to
see;
on her brow place circlet of gilt filgree.

Voters should not be hoodwinked by
the statements that this or that Demo-
cratic candidate is a good citizen. No
matter what a candidates record in
private life may be, it is not safe to
elevate man to an official position
who trains with party that is bent
upon the ruination of American indus
tries. Good Democrats about us should
keep away from temptation.

Knowing that many nations had at
different times claimed possession OF
these islands, and that several con-
flicts had resulted, it was but natural
to suppose that this proud pile dis
tinguished the spot where some British
IIoratius Coolies had, single-handed, re-
PEELED the landing cutters of several
French or Spanish men-of-war, and
that his appreciative countrymen had
thus made the fact known to such of
the great world as might by accident
stray thither

to tell me more of this brave, this
doughty Alfred, apologizing, of course,
for memory defective in matters of

An Instance Showing the Animals NIath-

A Russian doctor has been expert
menting to find how far some of our
domestic animals can count. The in
telligence of the horse, as this is shown
in mathematics, seems to surpass that
of the cat or the dog. The instances
given by him are interesting, but be-
fore they are accepted as authentic
they should be verified by the observa-
tions of naturalists whose skill and
care are unquestioned.
lie found horse which was able to
count the mile posts along the way. IL
had been trained by its master to stop
for feed whenever they had covered
twenty-five versts.
One day they tried the horse over a
road where three false mile posts had
been put in between the real ones,
and sure enough, the horse, deceived
by this trick, stopped for his oats at
the end of twenty-five versts instead of
going the usual twenty-five.
The same horse was accustomed to
being fed every day at the stroke of
noon. The doctor observed that when
ever the clock struck the horse would
stop and prick up his ears as If count
ing. If he heard twelve strokes he
would trot off contcntcdly to be fed,
but IL there were fewer than twelve he
would resignedly go on working.
The experiment was made of striking
twelve strokes at the wrong time,
whercupon the horse started for his
oats, in spite of the fact that he had
been fed only an hour before.

A Pleasing Story of n Celebrated French
Sportsman.
The author of Modern Hunting" in
La Nouvelle Revue, tells pleasing
story of one of the oldest and most cell
ebrated sportsmcn of France, Prince
de Joinville. The prince is perhaps
the senior member" of hunting soci-
ETY. in this country. He was hunting
in the Chantilly forest, rs the guest of
Due d'Aumale.
His party met another party which
was following a deer in the same for
est, and some disorder resulted. The
prince lost track of the animal that he
was following, but he took the disap-
pointment philosophically. and set out
to find the deer again.
On the way he was stopped by an old
white-haired peasant, who told him
that the deer he was following had
passed by there recently. The son of
Louis Philippe asked some simple
question, but rs the old peasant replied
he looked at him keenly, seeming to
pity more attention to him than to his
words. Suddenly he stopped him.
Wait! it seems to me that know
you, friend!' he exclaimed.
Eyes. sir" replied the peasant. in his
old, cracked voice, which shook with
emotion. sob, yes. we have often
eaten cakes at 'Auntic hdelaide's.'"
1t was sixty years since they had
been children together, but the varied
experiences of that time he'd rot made
the prince forget his Oh playmate AID

the lost deer to renew the acquaint-
