JAPANESE FAIRY TALE.

The story of Little Ftshhare and His
Remarkable Journey.
This little story of Fishhare is taken
from "Child Life in JAPAN" which con-
tains many others of these quaint little
tales.
There was once upon time a little
baby whose father was japanese am
bassador to the court of China and
whose mother was Chinese lady.
While this child was still in its in
fancy the ambassador had to return
to japan, so he said to his wife: Il
swear to remember you and to send
you letters by the ambassador that
shall succeed me. and as for our baby
1 will dispatch some one to fetch it
cas- soon as it is weaned."
9 Thus saying he departed. Well, en-
bassy after embassy came, there was
generally a year between each, but
never a letter from the Japanese hus-
band to the Chinese wife, who at last,
tired of waiting and grieving, took her
boy by the hand and, sorrowfully lead
ing him to the seashore, fastened
around his neck label bearing the
words: THE Japanese Ambassadors
Child"
Then she flung him into the sea, in
the direction of the japanese archipel-
ago, confident that the paternal tie was
one which it was not possible to break
and that therefore father and child
were sure to meet again.
One day when the former ambassa-
dor, the father, was walking by the
beach of Nauiwa, he saw something
white floating out to sea, looking like
a small island. 1t foated nearer and
he looked more attentively. There was
no doubt that the strange object was
child. Quite astohished he stopped
and gazed again. The floating object
drew nearer and nearer still, and at
last with perfect distinctness he per-
ceived it to be fair, pretty little boy
about four years old impelled on

WHITE RED SQUIRREL
\ queer Little Pet Belonging to some

| \ Queer Little Pet Belonging to Some
New Jersey Girls
DR.. Emily G.. Hunt. in ST. Nicholas,
describes the following interesting pet:
Some girl cousins of mine living in
New Jersey have an odd pet. 1t is a
white red squirrel
You have all seen red squirrel
"chickarees'' they call them, from the
sounds of their chattering and scolding,
as they drop Eutshells on your head,
or run down a tree-trunk by fits and
starts, giving little ''chick" with each
forward rush. while they watch yor
sharply.
Our little pet is like one of these in
every way, except that he is so snowy
white that the cieanest. tablecloth
looks dingy compared to him.
He was born in crauberry-bog.
Some men cutting brush there saw two
strange little animals, one white, the
other cream-colored. They caught this
white one by throwing a coat over him,
but the creamy squirrel ran away.
When the captive was brought home
all admired him greatly, for he was, as
you may imagine, very beautiful lit
tie creature. with his long bushy tail
and bright woodland tricks
But there is really one strange thing
about him: his eyes are not red or

him Beads"

You have all seen albino rabbits and
rats and mice. Their eyes are pink.
So that Beads is really a most uncom-
mon fellow, a snowy squirrel with jet
black eyes.
Albino or not, he is at any rate a
most winning little pet. and there is no
end to his pretty ways. AS eat and
n kitten live with the same family, he
has to be kept in a squirrel-cage; but
he is let out n long time each day. Then
Beads is quite happy. He climbs up the
back of the chair and nibbles the hair
of the person seated in it, gnaws the
flowers in the window-sill, rushes up
the stems of the callas, and scratches
in the earth until it flies on all sides
He will rub his head and face and all
his body ks the earth. until his clean
white dress is sight to behold. After
that he hops to the floor and rubs his
face carefully upon the carpet.
He loves to retire to a corner or under
a piece of furniture for his toilet, going
in gray and coming out white.s If you
peep and watch him, it is great fun.
for he scrubs and combs himself with
his paws in the neatest way. washes his
face just as a cat does. and then takes
his big tail in his paws and uses it for
towel! One often hears people won
der why squirrels have such big tails
All know that they are useful as bal

charming as ornaments. but not many
are in Beads secret of their usefulness
