my readers, a most delightful change.
The life of diplomat minister is by no
means a sinecure. Much is expected of
him; and he is expected intuitively, to
understand many of the demands without
any information concerning them. To a
person educated in a republican form of
government, the tedious detail of royal
technique is extremely onerous. The
wife and family, too, have many social
duties that are extremely eXacting. a
breach of etiquette is considered a grave
faux-pas. His excellency, Mr.. Quinby,
and his gracious wife, daughters and son,
seem, however, to have won the hearts
of all the natives of Holland. They never,
however, forget their allegiance to the
United States. The proper maintenance
of the dignity of our government is placed
before any Interior motive of self aggran-

.Japan'S Land Tax.

The land tax is continual grievance
in Japan. In Mitford's ''Tales of Old
Japan" is related the story of Sakura,
who met his death in the seventeenth
century by his resolution in bringing be-
fore the Shotgun IN person the grievances
of his fellow agriculturists, oppressed by
the:., feudal lord. Unable to obtain re-
dress from any subordinate authority,
he concealed himself beneath a bridge
over which the shogun's procession must
inevitably pass, and climbing out at the
crucial moment thrust his memorial at
the end of a bamboo stick into the die
tator's litter. This was u capital offense,
and even handed justice punished the
oppressors, but executed the com plain
ant.
An Englishman travelling lately in the
part of the country inhabited by this
Japanese tribune found his tomb and a
temple erected to his memory, which has
been highly honored of late years. The
visitor pointed out that Satura had been

Servants' CocEades In England.

One Of the officials Of tho College Of
Arms estimated that upward Of 70 per
cent Of those using the cockade on the
hats of their servants did SO without an
atom of right, and he branded this as
sumption, like all other assumptions, as
alike unmeaning, ridiculous and con-
temptible in the highest degree.
The following may lead many to dis
eliminate between those who rightly and
those who wrongly use such distinctions:
The coclzade is the symbol Of immedi-
ate service to the crown, and in the hats
of servants actually means this: 81 serve
one, who now serves the queen"
All naval and military officers, there

it. It has also been laid down that officers

All men who have been boys once like

JAPANESE GOWNS.

trope stripe, and had been brought
over from Japan in trading ship q
great many years ago. 1t had been
laid away in an old trunk, whence it
was brought few weeks since, with Q
lot OF other treasures, that until now
have been voted mere lumber. The
dressmaker made it up over q hello
trope satin slip and low cut waist.
The gauze itself was gored on the hips,
but gathered very full at the back.
The waist was fulled in from shoulders
to belt, and was trimmed with broad
ruifies OF the same over the shoulders,
and IN jabot fashion down the front
OF the waist. The customary belt and
sash finished the gown, which had to
wear with it a broad Leghorn hat,
trimmed with heliotrope gsuze the
exact color Of the heliotrope stripe.
Why heliotrope and white should look
so cool is beyond my comprehension,
but it certainly does, and is at present
the most fashionable combination of
color.

The Thirst of Plants


Haberlan1t has calculated that a
field OF rye, during its growth and de.
velopment, absorbs 33i tons OF water
per acre; oats require $40 tons, and
wheat 1sy. The water, sucked or
pumped up by the roots from tho
soil, traverses the tissues OF the plant,
depositing nutriment therein, and
finally is evapofated by tho leaves.
This process Is called Transportation.
As the soil furnishes the supply OF
water, that supply, In order that the
plant can develop itself normally,
ought TO equal at least the volume
of water given of by the leaves.
Should this equilibrium be broken,
the leaves droop, become dried and
fall.
Not only does the plant languish
from an insufficient supply OF water,
but the energy of it's green matter
cells decreases. The assimilation OF
carbon ceases, and the growth of the
plant is stopped.
10 il the same thing in rearing
stock. II badly fed the animal will
he stunted. The Transportation OF the
plant is ten times greater in presence
of full light than in obscurity, and
during cloudy weather the transpira-
tion is less by one-half than under
the direct action of the solar rays.
Judge, then, OF the suffering OF vege-
tation when rain is absent. and the
sky clear and the sunlight continuous.
The only resources the plant has, in
the absence OF an artificial supply of
water by irrigation, is to send its roots
taperng deep into the soil. Deherain

depth Of eighty inches in the soil

these views still more forcibly in the

desert is their enormous length.
Plants whose height above the sur
face of the soil never exceeds the
length of the hand have the root at
the neck rs thick as the thumb, tap
ering to the volume of the little fin
ger at the depth of two yards.
II is to their vast descending root

their existence, and are able to fight
the burning heat, which would cause

Primitive Modes OF Cooking Game.

"The man who goes off on hunt
ing and fishing trip should be &C.
quaiuted with the primitive modes of
cooking his game, rs sometimes his
lunch gives out, falls overheard, or
disappears in variety of ways, and
then his interior department begins TO
holler." 1t was Tom King, the we'll
known veteran sportsman, who helps
to hold up the Official dignity Of the
internal revenue bureau, who was
speaking to some novices with the rod
and gun, at the Riggs House, and he
proceeded to give them some valuable
pointers. "Of course the wise man
don't run the risk OF going hungry.
but it is mighty easy to add to the
pleasure Of quick snack if we only
know how. Some day when you go
a.hshing, and manage to catch some-
thing, build a rel hot fire on Hat
rock, just before the time you get
ready to eat lunch. When it has
burned merrily for about fifteen
minutes, take q fish and clean 1t and
then brush the fire away from the rock,
blow of the dust OF the ashes and slap
your fish down on it. Turn him over
and over to prevent burning, and in
few minutes you will have broiled
piece of ecstasy that will make you
treat every other fish you may have in
your bucket or creel exactly the same
way. When you are hunting in the
fall you can enjoy a bird with your
luncheon as well with very little
trouble. OF course you will stop to
eat your snack by spring, and in
this country there is usually good
deal of clay in such localities. Get q

and you will have bird cooked in its

have escaped. Knowing how to do
these things adds n great doal, / assure
you, to the pleasure OF sport, and a
