Japanese Students In America.

The United States, and particularly
California is now educating the young
er generation of Japan. Already five
bear diplomas from the universities of
this State, three of whom have grad
uated in civil engineering, one in So
cial science and one in zoology. At
present there are fifteen students in
the universities, three being at Stan
ford and twelve at the University of
California. OF these, six are taking the
social science course, fitting themselves
to be teachers in Japan, three are
studying electrical science, two are
taking mechanics, and there is one
each in the sciences of medicine, dent
istry. chemistry and political economy.
After completing their course in the
university many of the students aspire
TO take postgraduate courses in East
ern colleges. Thus there are those now
studying at Johns Hopkins, at Yale
and at Cornell. Many of those now
at the University of California, in addi-
tion TO their accomplishments through
such studies as they are now pursuing
have visions of seeking what further
polish the educational fields of Europe
can afford, ultimately returning to ia
pan, heavy with parchments and hon
ors, blazing with sort of halo OF erudi-
tion, ready to illuminate the darkness

The Newspaper as a College.

The opinion entertained by a great
many more or less prejudiced persons
that good newspaper office is the best
school going seems to gain some justf-
fication from certain passages in the
newly issued volume of essays and dis
courses by President Eliot. Discuss
ing wherein modern education has
failed to do all that was expected of it,
DIR. Eliot says:
These, then, are the four things in
which the individual youth should be
thoroughly trained, if his judgment and
reasoning power are to be systemat-
ically developed: observing accurately
recording correctly; comparing, group
ing, and inferring justly; and express
ing cogently the results of these men
tai operations"
To observe accurately and record cor
rectly are the particular things in
which every reporter for good news
paper is drilled every day, and he does
not get far in his business without get
ting practice, almost as regular, in COM
parison, inference, and cogent express
sion. If practice in these things is the
best thing for the Judgment and rea-
soning power. we ought to be thank
full that so much Of it goes to equip
the newspaper man for his momentous
job of experimenting all creation.
There is no class of men in the coun-
try whose state Of mind is of more i'm
portance to us than the newspaper men.
It is a comfort to be able to infer from
the statements of authority that there
is no class that is in a better way to
have it's mind developed. OF course,
all pupils are not scholars, and the fact
that newspapers constantly print mac
curate reports and draw unwarranted
inferences only means that the task is
quite difficult, and that the learners do
imperfect work.-Harper's Weekly.

THE MAHNIMAH.
Wonderful Parrot of India Which
the Natives Believe to Think.

A little bird in town did a surprising
thing the other day, though that is the
middle of the story. The first Of the
stCry is that woman who had lived
many years in India and who has a lcva
for all things Indian was walking along
the street and saw in the window of a
bird store green parrot with red spots
on its wings.
THAT Bird she said to herself, "cane
from India 1 will go in and speak with
it PERHAPS it speaks the vernacuiaI. p"
So she went in and spoke to it in the
vernacular Of India.
do you speak the language?" she
said. 1t is the common question Which
the people ask of a parrot in the land
frcm which the bird came. But the
ol eature made no answer. 1t stared at
her with dull eyes and was not interest
ed. Still she persisted.
Come" she said. Surely you speak
the language? What do you want? Are
you hungry? Is poor Polly lonesome
away off here? Come, come, you speak
the language!''
Still the bird made no answer, but
from away back in the dusk of the room
came a clear little bird voice in Hin
doostan:
81 speak the language! / also, l
speak itl''
The birdseller did not notice the cry.
Ii is merely the chattering of foolish
little bird to him. But the woman who
loved India said:
Where is that bird?'
IT'S back there" said the birdseller,
|
man went there and in an old caSe she
found a neglected-looking nahnimah,
standing erect on its perch, all its featn-
er5 ruffled looking this way and that as
it quivered with excitement. Thls blrd
Of all talking birds is the most wonder
ful-nay, in India they maintain that II
thinks. 1t learns, in fact, the tongue
of the people, they say, and does not
speak by note. but it converses. IL any
ra te. the mahnimah cried:
II speak the language. 1 speak it
Here I am. brother!" cried the wo-
man. II am one who speaks it, too
The bird fixed one sharp eye on her.
"You are little" he said, disdainfully
putting his head down in his feathers
to indicate how little she was. You
are little. but am large and then he
stood erect with his head thrown back
| and looked down on her.
1t said other things, too, while the
bewildered birdseller stood by and list
ened. assonished that the bird had any
value or that any one could understand
1t
How much will you take for the
bird?" asked the woman.
Twenty dollars said the man. The
price had gone up in the last ten min
utes.
Where did you get it?''
"A sailor brought it here, and
bought it of him. He had come from
New York and was going to San Fran
cisco He said he was tired of luggins
i. over the country.
HE must have come from some place
where there are Lascars."
II do not know. VIII you take the
bird, ma'am?"
But the woman could not afford that,
So she called back:
"Salaam. little brother"
"Salaanl,' said the bird.-Chicago

in the little church at Vadis, Lewis
County. 1t was scarcely daylight be-
fore the valley began filing up with
vehicles Of every variety, all headed
towards the village, and by 1870, the
time set for the beginning of the SER
vice, it was not possible for a con-

mile Of the church. When the Rev.
Mr. Ireland, who had been chosen by
Mr.. Wiseman to officiate, stepped into
the pulpit, the building was crowded
to it's utmost capacity, and the grounds
surrounding it We're filled with a throng
of people eager to- take part in the
strange ceremonies.

he admonished Mr.. Wiseman to live
a better life than ever before, because
his funeral had now taken place, and

the reason that those taking part in it
did not seem to consider it mock fun
