Japan Ahead of China.

Japan, in spite of her mistakes, stands
for light and civilization. Her institu-
lions are enlightened. Her laws, drawn
by European jurists, are equal to the
best we know, and they are justly ad-
ministered Her punishments are hu-
name Her scientific and sociological
ideas are our own. China stands for
darkness and savagery. Her science is
ludicrous superstition; her law is bar
barous; her punishments are awful; her
politics are corruption; her ideals are
isolation and stagnation.
In thousands of Yamens throughout
China men are tortured every day, hung
up by the thumbs, forced to kneel upon
chains, beaten with heavy bamboos,
their ankles cracked, their limbs broken.
Every week men are publicly cruoified
and hacked to death by the Thousand
cuts y How is anybody to desire the ex-
tension of the sway of the latter rather
than that Of the former without avow-
ing himself a partisan of sayageryS-

DIDST EVER LlvEf

Didst ever live?
Didst ever look into half ope'd flower
And note the beauty yelling forth
Until it filled your souls whole world.
As will the wondrous northern light,
That, flowing to the Zeniths point,
Fulflls the sldes-a grand and glorious
mazef
Didst ever list a birds sweet lay
Until the Joy,
Pervading it,
Seemed part of your own inmost selff
Didst ever gaze into your true loves eyes
Until you dreamed of moonlit groves,
Beneath some soft and southern sky,
Where you and she were all the world,
And nightingales with harps Rolian We'd
To reproduce in sound your ecstasy?
Didst ever list the organs tones
Until it seemed
Your soul was bounding shore
OF some great sea Of sound
And lay like sands outstretched,
With great waves breaking DER,
And then receding in thousand purlsf
Didst ever watch the summer tempest pass
And drink the rolling notes
Until your spirit beat in unison
And gloried In the songf
Didst ever let your soul up leap
Into the starry sky
And try to mold the universe
Into one thought sublime,
And when it seemed the deed was done,
Seized by your carnal self,
Fall groveling back to earth2

Napoleon's Mother.

Napoleon's mother was Roman ma
iron both in appearance and by the
loftiness of her character. Prosperity
had no more dazzled her than bad for
tune had cast her down. Her parsimony
had been TESTED about, but her children
always found her ready to help them
with her private fortune. When the en-
peror was at st. Helena, his mother sent
him full account of her fortune and
begged him to dispose of whatever be-
longed to her, an offer which Napoleon
did not accept.
When somebody pointed out to her.
at the time when she thus offered her
property to her son, that she was reduo-
ing herself to indulgence in this way,
'What does it natter" she answered.
"When l shall have nothing more, will
take my stick, and will go about beg
ging aims for Napoleon mother. -

Headaches From Eye Strain.

Among the most exquisite of tortures
are headaches that proceed from over
taxing the eyes. Much of this trouble is
due to imperfect curvature of the cornea.
However slight this imperfection may
be, the pain from the strain is intense.
The muscles become sore and irritable,
and the constant tension is likely to
create chronic ailments Of the nervous
system. Eye strain and extreme irrita-
bility of temper are frequently assooiat-
ed. 1t is often the case that the eyes
are not suspected as cause of headache,
but the proper glasses give relief at
once. New York Ledger.

cELLuLoIp FASHION PLATES.
You Can Fill Them In with BACKGROUND
of Real Cloth

You Can Fill Them In With Background
of Real Cloth.
One of the cleverest emanations Of
the fertile Yankee brain which has been
put upon the market recently is a set Of
fashion plates for tailors. These plates
are printed upon sheets of celluloid.
Each sheet is 1917 inches long and Il
inches wide Before the prints are made
these sheets are as transparent as glass.
There are six sheets in set. Upon
one is a print of fashionable pair Of
trousers, and upon the others full length
figures of men dressed in the accepted
style of clothing One print shows the
single breasted sack suit, another the
double breasted sack suit, another the
regulation three button cutaway suit,
another the one button cutaway suit
for stout iAen, and the last fashiona-
BILE overcoat. In each figure the print is
of a man, and he is hated and gloved
and provided in some with cane.
The prints seem to be made at first In
black outline, with all the proper shades
to show the creases and folds as they
should be in we'll fitting garments. All
the parts of the figures except the gar
ment or garments which each print is
to display particularly are then filed in
with appropriate colors and the back
ground around the figures is filed in
solidly with gold bronze.
Looked at casually, one does not dis
cover the popularity of the plates at
once. Hold one up to the light, and 1t
will be seen that the parts devoted to
garments are as clear as glass; except
for the light shading which indicates
folds or oreases. Lay one of them over
a piece of cloth, and the use Of the
plates becomes manifest at glance
The texture of the cloth shows through
clearly, and the figure appears to be
clothed in perfect fitting garments Of
the underlying material
Do you wonder how suit an over
coat or pair of trousers of some GER
tain cloth would appear when made up,
you place a plate over it. and, 10, there
is the garment in all its perfection.
That is the purpose of the novel fashion
plates. New York Sun.

A cool, mysterious chamber, where the glow
OF wintry sunshine from the small barred
square
Pierces white radiance through the dusty air,
And in the midst, with patient step and slow,
The white OK treads his round. with head bent
low
Beneath the yoke, taking his ample share
OF labor. The revolving wheel lays bare
The trough wherein it turns and where they
throw
Black olives to be crushed to this rich mass
Which fills the hempen baskets meath ths

Where as the screw turns and the pile grows

We see the oozy shining trickle pass,
The rich reward of so much care and toll,

Beef Better Than Brains.

A poor, dyspeptic little minister was
walking out one Monday morning when
he CHANGED to meet two brother clergy
men-hale, hearty-looking fellows. At
ter the customary greetings they ask
ed him how things looked. He pulled
a long face and said everything was
very bad, it was dying world, and the
lookout was wretched. 'Now brother, u
said his questioner, 'you are wrong
yourself. Something is the matter with
syour brain. Yonswant to- get that light
like ours" slapping his comrade on the
shoulder, then the world will look
brighter to you" The dyspeptic looked
at both his ''brothers' a minute and

little religion he has to interfere with
business. With him religion is one
thing and business is quite another,
and his religion does not either forbid
or prevent his stealing anything he
can lay his hands on. At the times
Of the great annual festivals his piety
takes the form of prayers, offerings Of
food to the dead, eating, drinking and
listening to music and dramatic enter
tainments. Like his religion and his
art, both music and drama are hor-
rowed from China; the former is as
ear-splitting and the latter as lengthy
and non-intelligible as anything in the
same line the Flowery Kingdom is
able to offer. .'~- - oR
But for his geographical position and
the fact that he has several good har-
bors that are coveted by Russia, Eng
land and Japan, the Corean would be
permitted to vegetate in seclusion to
the end Of time, but circumstances have
forced him to the front, and he must
now take part in the march of human
events whether he will or no.

sary, as fruit is one Of the great staples
Of Corea, and almost any kind general
ly finds ready sale at good prices. The
list OF fruits is long.
OF the field crops, beans and rice are
the most important, the former being
used not only as food for man, olt also
Tor the small. hardy ponies which are
employed by the rich and official :lasses
as means of transportation. Not al
ways, however. A Corean official has
large stock of dignity, and among the
various devices by which this is upheld
is the idea that it is degrading to walk
anywhere. So every official is provid-
ed with a litter and a number Of bear
ers in proportion to the weight of his
dignity. He may walk about in his
house without sacrifice of personal self
respect, or even, on certain occasions,
when he is, so to speak, off duty, he
llay walk through the court yard, but
every public appearance must be- i'll his
litter. The appointments Of this ap-
paratrls for the conservation Of dig
nifty are very carefully fixed, as also the
length of the poles and the number of
carriers. and an official of the highest
rank, Il minister of the kingdom, has

single wheel, which does not rest on

weight from the bearers, but is a mark
Of rank. Whatever the number Of bear
ers and attendants, however, it is al
ways liberal, even the petty governors
of towns being often attended by 200
or 800 men, who with banners, flags
and other devices, march in procession
whenever the governor goes abroad,
while runners speed before, repeating
his titles and dignities and ordering all
persons to. clear the road. Fl s.-s
The leading features Of every Corean
city are the palace Of the governor
and the temple Of the presiding deity,
and it is often a matter o4 difficulty to
decide which is of the more Importance,
for, in order that the dignity of the
government may be properly main
tanned, the former Is frequently more
pretentious than the latter. AS the
Corean religion is modelled after that

PufballS as Food.

It will surprise many to know that
the plebian pufban of our pastures
is good for something besides old-fash-
ioned styptic, smoke and the kick of the
small boy. There are number Of
species Of the puffball, varying in shape
and size from the small white globular
variety Of an inch in diameter and the
pear-shaped to the giant pasture species
which are the dimensions Of a football.
All are edible, if gathered at the white
stage, those of yellow or darker frac-
ture being excluded. Of the esculent
qualities Of the larger species, Lyco-
perdon giganteum, we may judge from
the statement of a connoisseur. ''Sliced
and seasoned in butter and salt and
fried in the pan, no French omelet
is half as good in richness and deli
cacy Of flavor" M. G. Cooke, the
British authority, says Of it: "In its
young and pulpy condition 1T is excel
lent eating, and indeed has but few
competitors for the place Of honor al
the table," 1.t

they are very similar to the Chinese,
save in the matter Of hat. s..-->ss&7 ->ss&7
His clothes do not cost him much
money, for the simple reason, that he
has not much to spend, SO he makes
that little go q great way, and has
learned to utilize materials that in
other countries are almost unknown.
There is paper for instance. The
Coreans possess some secrets with re-
gard to paper-maKng that are unknown
even to their ingenious neighbors, the
Chinese. They make paper Of such tough
ness that it will resist many months
of wear, and by process Of oiling it
they render it impervious to water, and
so make overcoats that will stand any
amount Of rain. True, they cannot be
mended, for when they begin to go
they go all over and all at once, but as
they only cost about a quarter they are
easily replaced-if the Corean happens
to have the quarter.
His other clothes are mostly of cot
ton, and the chief popularity about
them is the fact that they are always
being washed.
In Corean cities certain hours after
dark are set apart for the women to
take their exercise, and during that
time all men are forbidden to appear
on the street under penalty Of arrest.
This police regulation is very strictly
obeyed, too, for in Corea there is no
such thing as a jury system, the rights
Of the individual are very lightly re-
garded, and justice is meted out in the
most summary fashion.
Farming in Corea is Of the most
primitive description. The multitude
Of people forbids the employment Of
labor-saving machinery, and all opera
tons, of whatever nature, are carried
on by hand. Even the irrigation of the
crops, process so purely mechanical
that it might be supposed some sort Of
simple device would be constructed to
obviate the necessity Of hand labor, is
done by lifting the water from one pool
to another by means Of a large scoop, a
succession Of able-bodied Coreans shov-
cling water as elsewhere sand is shov-
eled. After the crops are planted they
are watched, a small tower being con-
