japanese Story Of Its Influence ON .
Motherless Girl.
At Y. NJ. C. A. hall Yeataso Okanc,
q large audience:
''Once upon a time there lived in .
little hamlet in Japan a young couple.
They had one child-a beautiful little
girl whom both loved very dearly. 1t
came to pass while the child was still
baby girl that the father was obliged to
take long journey to the far distant
city. It was too far for him to take his
wife and child. so he left them at home
and travelled alone
''In that great city he saw many new
things which, having lived in the peace
full little hamlet up among tho noun
tains all his life, he had never seen be-
fore. He desired to take home TO his
wife some of these new things which
seemed to him so wonderful. And the
most wonderful gift he could take, it
seemed to him, was a mirror. He wish
ed to take home to his wife the pleasure
and surprise he had experienced when
he first looked into mirror. So he took
one home to his wife
when he arrived home he gave the
present to his wife, and for the first
time she looked into a mirror. What
do you seer her husband asked She
replied: i declared see very pretty
woman. She wears her hair just as do
mine. and she smiles and moves her
lips as if she were talking to me. Her
husband told her that the mirror was a
present for her. and he hoped she would
use it every day But the wife thought
it far too beautiful and rare and costly
a gift to use every day, so she put it
carefully away and never spoke about it
to the little daughter. who grew more
beautiful and more like her mother ev-
cry day.
BY and by great misfortune fell
upon that little household. The wife
and mother fell sick, and it was soon
evident that she must die. AS she lay
upon her deathbed she called her little
daughter to her and told her that she
was going to lose her mother forever.
She could point to no future life after
death in which they should be reunited.
but in the love and simplicity of her
heart she did the best she could. She
told her little daughter about the won
derful mirror. After | am dead, she
said, take down that box and look into
the mirror that it contains. There you
will see my face. And want you to
look into the mirror every day. that you
may never forget your mother, and that
you may grow like me more and more
every day.
so the mother died The little girl
did as she had been told, and in the
wonderful mirror she thought she saw
her mothers face, young and beautiful
mot as she had seen her, pale and i'll
as she lay dying. but fair and fresh as
she had looked before the fatal illness
And the little girl looked into the mir
ror every day and thought of her moth
er and her many lovely ways, and so it
came about that she grew to be more
and more like her mother as the years
went by. Rochester Post Express.

FAMOUS ENeLIsH SWORDS.

Some Noticeable Weapons That Are Ell
hibIted In the Tower Of London.
Whoever visits the London Tower
may enjoy q veritable feast of swords,
but amid the numberless array of weap-
ons there are one or two that are espe-
cially worthy of notice. There is the
sword of state, which is grit on the
monarch's side after his amounting at
the imposing ceremony of coronation.
which girding is more honored in the
breach, one would suppose, when the
monarch is lady. The sword is first
consecrated by the primate, and by him
handed to the lord chamberlain, who
completes the function. tits a two hand
ed weapon, with rich decorations on hilt
and pommel and scabbard. OF scarcely
less Importance is the Sword of mercy, ;"
borne before the sovereign in the coro-
nation procession. This sword is named
Curtana, but though undoubtedly very
ancient it can hardly claim to be the
original Curtana forged by the famous
Munifcan.
This original Curtana was the magic
weapon of Ogier the Dane. bold knight
of Charlemagne's most warlike days.
Our own Curtana is in any case many
centuries old. 1t is square pointed, with
the look as though the point had been
broken short; hence possibly its name.
A fine gold wire covers its handle, and
the scabbard is remarkably ornate. Two
other swords are carried at the corona
ton eremony--swords symbolical OF
spiritual and temporal justice, the first
with an obtuse point, the latter sharp.
Curtana and these two justice swords
are not often called upon to make pub
lie appearance. 1t is happily more than
a half century since they were last re-
quired at coronation, but whenever
the sovereign opens parliament in rer-
son the sword of state first mentioned is
called from its repose.
The lord mayors sword is even moro
familiar to the general public, and not
only London, but most other corpora
tions, have their sword and sword bear
er. 1t is picturesque survival of the
middle ages, which one would regret to
see abolished-part of the ritual of state
customs, which ritual is by no means
meaningless. Public action must often
be of a figurative character. Such is the
mode by which the city of London some
times does honor to those who have rem
dered the nation good service. presenting
to them swords of honor. These civic
swords have been given to men like
Lord Napier, Lord Clyde, Lord Wolse-
ley Wellington received one in his day,
and so did the Prussian Butcher Lon
don Standard.

Mexico that 1t will irrigate. AS out

The Importance of the project lies in

as to what extent the United States
