A Land without Domestic Animals.

Japan is land, says The Popular Sci
ence News, without the domestic ami
mails. 1t is this lack which strikes the
stranger so forcibly in looking upon Jap
anese landscapes. There are no COWS
the japanese neither drinks milk nor
eats meat There are but few horses,
and these are imported mainly for the
use of the foreigner. The freight cars in
the city streets are pulled and pushed by
coolies. and the pleasure carriages are
drawn by men. There are but few dogs,
and these are neither used as watch
dogs, beasts of burden nor in hunting
except by foreigners.
There are no sheep in Japan, and
wool is not used in clothing, silk and
cotton being the staples. There are no
pigs-pork is an unknown article OF diet,
and lard is not used in cooking. There
are no goats or mules or donkeys. Wild
animals there are, however, and in par
ticular bears of an enormous size. One
of these that Mr. Finck saw stuffed. in q
museum, he describes as "big as an OK. "

The Story of a Hatfield Picture.

On the grand staircase of Hatfield
House is portrait of the fourth earl OF
Salisbury to which curious story at
taohes. A casual glance at the picture
gives one the impression Of man with
two heads-behind the features OF the
earl peers another face in much fainter
outline and of quite distinct type-the
face, in fat, of the unfortunate Duke OF
Monmouth. 1t seems that the duke,
when favorite at court, was friend
of the then Earl of Salisbury, and as a
mark of his esteem presented the earl
with his portrait. After Sedgemoor,
however, it was not safe for the earl to
keep the picture on his walls, and it
was accordingly hidden away in the
lumber room. Years after the discarded
canvas, from which the features OF the
rebel duke had entirely disappeared, was
found by the fourth earl of Salisbury at
time when he was about to have his
own portrait painted, and in spirit OF
economy he resolved to utilize it for this
purpose. When this portrait came to be
cleaned some years ago, the face OF
Monmouth reappeared, to the confusion
of the person engaged in the task. This,
at any rate, is the explanation Of the
mystery which Lord Salisbury himself
has accepted, if only for the want OF
better. --Cassell's Magazine.

The Piety of Washington.

The doubt has never been raised in
any respectable quarter that Washington
was not man of strong religious faith.
One would need to read hardly more
than his farewell message to be con-
WINGED of that. In that document, it
will te remembered, Washington dis
tinctly says that religion and morality
are indissoluble and that the two to-
gether constitute the main props of civil
government. But writer now comes
forward in The Lutheran Quarterly to
claim and to prove not only that the
greatest of Americans was religious
man, but that his pre-eminence as a gen.
eral, statesman and leader was due not
to genius, which has never been claimed |;
not to learning, of which he had no
large store; not to eloquence, of which
he had less, but to moral excellence
and especially to piety.
washington was a Christian, says
this writer "Study his private life
among the shades of Mount Vernon.
Contemplate his career as soldier at
the head of the army. Scrutinize the
acts of his administration as chief mag
istrate of the republic, and you will
constantly find proofs that he was gov
erned by Christian principle. If we ex-
clude the molding power of Christianity
in the formation of Washington char
acter. we can neither account for il nor
interpret it, Depraved human nature
cannot bring forth, under the most ia.
vorable circumstances, such man, such
hero, such ruler, such a patriot and
such statesman. Heathenism in the
highest stages of civilization attained IL
all ages and lands has produced no char
acter approximating to that of Washing

His Umbrella.

A young man was riding down town
the other evening in Euclid avenue car.
He took the front seat and held in his
hand an umbrella which had been given
him as birthday present On the seat
facing him was lady with a precocious
infant boy, evidently about years old.
The youngster regarded the young man
with rapt attention for few moments,
and then his eyes wandered to the UNI
brella. He gazed at it in silence for a
second; then he wriggled in his seat,
clapped his hands and shouted:
"Oh, mamma, doesn't that look like
papa's umbrella?"
"Hush hush my child" said the
mother, patting the prodigy on the head.

A Story of the Prince.

In England the following is regarded
as "a good story about the Prince OF
Wales" and perhaps as not rejecting
upon the newspaper man: His royal
highness has often gone to see big fires
Once after the opera he strolled unat-
tended toward spot where the red
glow in the sky had indicated a great
conflagration. Seeing a newspaper re-
porter taking notes, the prince asked
him for details, which were of course
readily given, especially as the identity
of the questioner was known to the jour-
nalist At the conclusion of the CONVEX
satiou the prince offered the reporter
cigar, which the latter carefully wrap
ped in an envelope and placed in his
pocket. why don't you smoke itT said
the prince. Because I'm not likely ever
to get another cigar from the Prince OF
Wales, SO l mean to keep this one as
memento.' The prince laughed good ma
turedly, and bringing out his case again
replied, We'll, you had better have AL
other one--this time to smoke.

Novel Headache Cure.

The latest "cure" suggested for the

It is not necessary that the hair should
be cropped off short, after the fashion OF

Canary Birds.

A Chicago bird dealer, one OF the
most extensive in the country, says OF
canaries: 1.-THE idea is prevalent that
canary birds either come from the Ca
nary islands or are born in captivity.
OF course some are received from the
Canary islands, and great many OF
them are raised from tame birds that
have never been at liberty, or cage
birds, as they are called. Still, many OF
the very best canaries are captured wild
in the United States. Southern Cali
fornia is full of wild canaries, and
there are no better singers in the world.
In some sections the air seems to be
filled with melody. They are so plenti-
full that the boys kill them in great
numbers with sling shots, and they are
little more thought of than sparrows.

Lord Leighton and Children.

Even under the social storm and stress
of "Studio Sunday" when his pictur-
esque nouse was crowded with an exact
ing and brilliant throng, Leighton could
make time to minister to the wants Of
any little visitors who might accompany
their elders. One charming instance Of
this comes to my mind in reference to
reception at his house some seven or
eight years ago. A pretty little girl was
trying to edge her wee person through
the crowd to get glimpse of the presi-
dents pictures, but without success. In
an instant he grasped the situation, raised
her to his shoulder, and the two were
chatting gleefully together as If they
had been friends for life.
An example of his generous and pa
tient self restraint l saw on another &C.
casion, when the accident of his high
official position brought him into I'M
willing touch with wealthy parvenu.
This magnate knew little Of art, but
prided himself on his choice collection,
which only moderate share of critical
knowledge might have seriously dis
counted. Over the dining room mantel-
piece was a very doubtful old master,
over which its master waxed enthusiastic
in the presence Of his guest, praising its
alleged points of merit in no measured
terms and generally explaining the why
and the wherefore with the fuency OF
self complacent ignorance. The president
listened with the suspicion of smile on
bis handsome features. But his few
words were wise generalities, and. as
soon as courtesy would permit, tactfu
silence prompted by those rare diplo
matte powers with which he was sc
richly gifted. London Times.

The science of digestion received an
important impetus from the knowledge
gained by the case of Alexis st. Martin.
He was a young Canadian who received
a gunshot wound in the stomach. The
wound healed, but left an open fistula,
through which the process of digestion
could be watched and ascertained from
time to time. Through experiments
made in his case the time of digestion
was ascertained with some degree OF
correctness-that is, SO far as his stom }.
ach was concerned.
