l would even go so far as to approve
of the Japanese way of beginning book
or newspaper at what we call the end.
l speak from practical experience. For
a number of years part of my work in a
large newspaper Office consisted 10 read
ing all the English. French and German
exchanges. After while / found that
/ had unconsciously got into the habit
of beginning at the last page, in spite of
obvious obstacles.
Finally-for l must stop, not for lack
of material, but of space-I think we are
unpardonably topsyturvy in the way we
address letters. When you mail letter
who gets it first? The postal clerk.
What does he want to know first?
Whether it is for America or Europe.
What does the next distributor want to
know? What country in Europe and
what city is it for. And the next? The
street. of course. and finally the number.
the family and the individual. Now that
is the way the Japanese address letter.
They write, America, New York, Broad
way 210, Brown John Mr." while we say,
"Mr. John Brown, 210 Broadway. New
York." thus compelling every one who
handles the letter to read it from below
up, contrary to all our literary usages.-

A PATHETIC STORY.

The rumored engagement of Nellie
Grant Sartoirs to Gen. Kyd Douglas
recalls to the public mind the beauti-
fully tender attachment which Gen.
Grant manifested for his daughter
The union with Sartoris was opposed to
the limit by the young lady's parents;
subsequent events proved all too clearly
that the old folks estimate of Sartoris
character had been correct. Sartoris
was drunkard, and there is probably
no language adequate to portray the
misery and the humiliation to which he
subjected his wife. To add to the
wretchedness OF her life, the family of
the drunken husband utterly declined
to receive the young wife or to accord
her that recognition to which. as the
daughter of Gen. Grant, she had been
accustomed and was entitled. Mrs.
Sartoris may have kept silent; her wom
anly pride probably prevented her from
telling her parents of the dreadful mis-
take she had made. But rumors Of her
misery came from over the sea, and they
caused Gen. Grant constant solicitude.
One time Hugh Hastings went down
to Long Branch to visit with the Grants.
He was told that the general was sitting
on the rocks over looking the sea, and
surely enough he presently discovered
Grant perched on rock and gazing in
apparent abstraction over the waters.
Hastings stole softly up and put his
hands over Grant eyes, saying: Nov,
guess who it is!'
But Hastings drew his hands back al
most Immediately; they were wet with
tears; Grant was weeping.
Hastings was too surprised to say any
thing. Grant looked up.
"Hullo, Hughy" said Grant, kindly.
"You are crying, general! What has
happened? What is the matter?" de-
manded Hastings.
Grant came pretty near breaking
down, but by a heroic effort he pulled
himself together. 1--WE get bad news
from England" he said. Nellie is I'M
happy, and l can't help thinking about
it-thinking about it all the timel am
in trouble Hughy, the greatest trouble
of my life!"
1t were difficult. perhaps impossible
to fancy a more beautifully pathetic pict.
ure than that of this foremost man of his
time stealing away by himself and com
muning with his love for that daughter
so many. very many leagues away. II
appeals more directly and it means more
to humanity than a thousand Vicks-
burgs. a thousand Corinths. a thousand

TOPSY TURVY JAPAN.

The japanese begin the year in spring,
we in mid winter. Which is topsy-turvy?
We think it strange that they should
cultivate plum and cherry trees for their
flowers, not their fruits; but their cher
ries are like choke cherries, and even if
they were good to eat. is not cherry
blossom viewing" more refined and rein
ing than munching cherries and splitting
out the stones? Consider the Japanese
way of carrying babies on their back. Is
it not much more sensible than our way,
since it leaves the carrier the free use of
her arms and hands?
Take another case. Everybody has
heard Of the Snowman who fooled the
rustics by advertising horse that had
"the tail where the head ought to be, and
the head where the tail ought to be. -
He had simply turned the horse round
in the stable. That is the japanese way
of placing horse, and it is more rational
than our way. He can be fed from a
suspended sack or bucket, the hostler
runs no risk of being kicked. and the
horse is in proper position to be taken
out and hitched to the wagon. Our fire
companies have admitted our topsy-
turviness by adopting the Japanese
way.

ARMENIAN CHARACTERISTICS

The Armenians are Of pure Caucasian
blood. They are strikingly handsome
race, and are noted for their intelligence,
industry and commercial talent. La
MARITIME calls them 1.-THE Swiss Of the
East" Dulaurier compares them to the
Dutch. Prof. James Bryce says of them:
They are strong race, not only with
vigorous nerves and sinews, physically
active and energetic. but also of conspic-
uous brain power. Thus they have held
a very important place among the in
habitants of Western Asia ever since the
sixth century. If you look into the an
nails Of the East Roman or Byzantine
Empire, you will find that most of the
men who rose to eminence in its service
as generals or statesmen during the
early middle ages were of Armenian
stock. So was it also after the establish
ment of the Turkish dominion in Europe.
Many of the ablest men in the Turkish
service have been, many are today, Ar
menian by birth or extraction. The
same is true with regard to the Russian
service. No more need be said to show
the strength and vitality Of race than
that il has thus maintained till now,
through so many centuries OF oppres-
sion, its distinctive features in character
and intellect. as we'll as in physical
structure.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1895-06-08
HORTICULTURE.

Ground for Strawberries should be
plowed and crossplowed. and even sub
soiled, if not naturally friable. The
roots should be shortened one third, and
not doubled up, as is too often the case,
and the earth about them frmed. All
but two or three of the center leaves
should be removed, and the crown
placed even with the ground, but not
covered.
If little manure is mixed with the
earth about strawberry plants when set
out it will be help to them. Then keep
them clear of weeds. They should
be titled with a fine toothed cultivator
after every rain, and. in any event. twice
week. With hoe turn the runners
in the right direction. and cover them,
when necessary. to start new plant.
Plants for winter Towering should,
before being set out in the spring. be
potted in six inch crooks, with hole in
bottom plugged. They can be buried in
the ground so as to appear planted as
the other flowers. When the time of
lifting arrives the pots will be full of
roots. and the plants in excellent condi-
tion for blooming.
Once in the morning is often enough
to water house plants, and let the water
be about of temperature of the room.
Setting pots in dishes of water is not a
good plan, as the roots become saturated
and have tendency to rot. All water
should be applied at the surface.
The question of preserving our forests
from destruction by fire is certainly one
of National importance. and it is time
the Government at Washington was
taken hold oft. Forest property which
has required from one to two hundred
years TO make it merchantable is sacri-
feed at the rate of s25,OOOOO0 a year.
The cause and the remedy are serious
problems.
Carelessness in clearing lands, escape
of locomotive sparks, burning over
marshy grounds, carelessness with
matches and gun wads. escape of fire
from coal pits, incendiarisms to hide
timber steals, lightning strokes, and
possibly friction and spontaneous com
bustion are all sources of fires in our
woods.
Whether by accident, carelessness or
evil intent, the spread Of many Of our
fires might be prevented by systematic
guarding of our forests. This would be
we'll worth the cost. Spark arresters
upon our locomotives, non eombustible
gun wads. common prudence on the part
OF individuals, and a general vigilance.
such as is exercised in Europe, would
make our loss much less.
