Minister ooprr Kept Hu-y While
With Beauenter~.
BOSTON, Nov. 28.-Minister Cooper
of Hawaii, whose stay in Boston is
drawing to a close, has been very bus
lily engaged during the past few weeks
in making a thorough study of the
various departments OF our city gov
eminent
On Monday, at the invitation of May
or Quincy, he visited the city institu-
tons at Deer Island and Galloupes
Island Escorted by Sec. Robinson of
the mayors Office, and accompanied
by his private secretary, Mr.. Marx,
Consul General Gilman, and one or two
others, he took passage on the Vigil
liant at 10 o'clock superintendent
Gerrish at Deer Island received the
minister and his party courteously, and
escorted them about his reserve, ex-
planning everything in the most care
full and courteous manner. After lun-
cheon at the superintendent house
the party paid brief visit to the quar-
antine station at Galloupes Island, re-
turning to the city at about O'Clock.
Yesterday Minister Cooper was
shown the sewerage system Of the city.
He is greatly interested in the subject
of sewers for the reason that prob
lem of this nature exists at Honolulu,
which the Hawaiian government is
closely studying. Under the escort of
Deputy Supt. of Streets Cutter the min
lister was taken to Roxbury, where the
work of constructing the great Stony
Brook conduit was inspected. Several
important pieces of sewer work in the
Roxbury district and South Boston
were then visited, and the methods
employed in construction were care
fully explained.
A turn was then taken through the
Marin park at City Point. and the
party returned to the Parker House for
luncheon at 1870 o'clock. At luncheon
they were joined by Mayor Quincy, pri-
vate secretary Mullen and Supt. of
Streets Wells. After luncheon, under
the escort of superintendent Wells and
deputy superintendent Cutter, Minis
ter Cooper visited the pumping sta
ton of the sewer department at the
Cow Pasture. The great engine, the
gatehouse, the device for intercepting
solids in the sewage, and lastly the
shaft house at the extremity of the
point were thoroughly examined and
their mode Of operation explained by
Chief Engineer Young. Minister Coo
per was deeply interested in all which
he saw, and asked many questions rel
alive to the works.
He returned to his quarters at the
Parker house ats o'clock. The min
lister will leave Boston tonight for
WASHINGTON.

China has sometimes been called 'sthe
land of opposites." The name seems to
be we'll applied, in so many ways are Chi
nese customs precisely contrary to those
OF the rest of the world. We blacken our
shoes; the Chlnaman whitens his. We
shake hands with each other; he shakes
hands with himself. We uncover the
head as mark of respect; he keeps his
head covered, and if he wishes to appear
extraordinarily polite takes off his shoes.

Dorothy Dee was q dear little girl,
With shining blue eyes and hair all a-curl;
Lips always smiling, knew never a pout,
But now all these statements must be turned
round about.
Shining blue eyes with big tears are wet,
Some dreadful thing must have happened our
pet;
Lips all quiver with grief and woe,
What q shame wee grille such trouble should
know.
Very much troubled was Dorothy Dee,
Just as unhappy ever could be;
Her lovely new dolly, her sailor boy Jack,
Fell to the sidewalk with oh such whack.
And his head all in pieces was lying around,
Some on the sidewalk and some on the ground; /;
Even Aunt Lizzie, so very well skilled
In the mending Of dolls, was sure Jack was
killed.
Without any doubt the dollie was dead,
Why doll couldn't live without any head;
Never mind, said her grandma, don't cry any
more,
new head will make him as good as before.
But, o. my grandma, said Dorothy Dee,
A sweeter child there could not be,
You can make my dolly all mended and new,
But my poor little heart is broken too.
Next day, with her face all shining with joy,
She clasped IN her arms new sailor boy.
And we know that with us you are sure to
agree,
Grandma found new heart for Dorothy Dee.

The story is told of famous mathema-
tician that he was frequently guilty during
his courtshlp of walking the greater part
of mile with the young lady of his choice
without speaking. One evening she took
advantage of his absent mindedness to
play him a trick. She slipped her hand
from his arm and hurried home nearer
way. He continued to hold his arm in
the same position, walked up the steps of
her fathers house and rang the bel, ,when,
to his astonishment, she herself opened
the door. He stared in an incredulous
manner and exclaimed, "Why, s., how
in the world did you get on that side of

Boys and girls who planted trees on last
Arbor day and have since watched them
grow will be glad to learn that there is a
strong sentiment, favored and encouraged
by the Agricultural Department of the
United States Government, for the OBJ
servance in the public schools of the
country OF one day as BIRD day" as
Arbor day is now observed.
The little feathered songsters of our for
ests and fields offer delightful opportuni-
ties for study and observation, and it is too
bad that SO many wide-awake American
boys and girls do not know more about
them. But the idea of the advocates of
the day is partly practical one; as Arbor
day seeks to preserve our forests, so Bird
day will seek to preserve the lives of the
little den1zens of the forest.
1t will so interest the boys in the WAYS
of the birds that they will never again
throw stone or let fly bullet at one of
the innocent creatures, and so touch the
hearts of the girls that not one of them
will ever wear birds feather on her hat
And that would be very good thing,
wouldn't it, if "bird day. did nothing
more than that?

BY DR.. HARVEY B. BAsHoURE.

When boys and girls nowadays have
anything to say to their friends who are
far away they sit down and write letter
in plain English, French or German, as
the case may be; but before you are able
to write you have TO learn how to make
some twenty-six letters and how to COM
bine them into words, so as to tell your
friends what you are thinking about. This
is called sound writing.
Now there is another kind of writing
picture writing it is called-in which there
is no alphabet, and instead of words some
picture OF the object is used, as, for ex-
ample, instead of the word cat we would
have drawing of the animal.
This kind of writing was used by all
people in the early days of the world, and
long ago been forgotten, but here in
America the Indians have practiced this
old art until very recently.
Not long ago l saw a Photographic
account OF Clusters famous fight on the
Little Big Horn. 1t was drawn by Red
Horse, Sioux chief, who took no small
part IN that fearful battle. A queer and
curious record it seemed to me, but the
Indian read it with as much freedom as
could have read the newspaper story.
The following letter, written by an IL
dian girl to friend whom she wished tc
visit her, will give you very good idea OF
your own ancestors used thousands OF
years ago.
This will not seem very plain to you, I
