why will people write dull histories? l like
to fancy all kings heroes, and all queens
heroines. History leaves us no Illusions"
Still" replied the governess, ut teaches

The beautiful face grew very serious II

"Why are so many truths disagreeable II

so bright, so fair and glad, every one so nap

'Comte did not explain it, then, to your

''Comte!' cried the girl, impatiently. II

Afraid Of HOG Cholera.

Huron, Feb. 2S.-FarmCrs in this To-
cality are somewhat uneasy lest hog
cholera. which is quite prevalent in
some Of the eastern counties, gets into
swine mp this way. The hog industry
has been very profitable to Bcadlc
county farmers, and the business of
raising hogs is getting well estab-
lished, but should cholera make its APP
pearancc the number of hogs will be
greatly diminished and the industry
seriously crippled. There is really no
way of preventing the spread of the
disease except as measures are adopted
by individual farmers, the bill which
passed both houses of the last lcgisla-
ture providing for the suppression and
preventing the spread of hog cholera,
was vetoed by the governor. Careful
watch is being kept by owners of
swine to ascertain at the earliest mo-
ment possible the appearance of the
disease, and in this way, and by judi
cious feeding, they hope to prevent
loss. Thousands Of dollars have gone
into the pockets of farmers in this
vicinity the present season by the sale
of hogs, and it is not surprising that
they are anxious to prevent this source
of revenue from being cut off.

A JAPANESE STORY.
Told by N Native of Japan TO an Audiences
In Rochester.

AT Y. NJ. G. 4. hall the other after.
noon Yeataso Okano, a japanese, told
the following story to a large audience,
says the Rochester Post rpreSs:
"Once upon a time there lived in a
little hamlet in Japan n young couple.
They had one child, a beautiful little
girl, whom both loved very dearly. 1t
came to pass while the child was still a
baby girl that the father was obliged to
take a long journey to tue far-distant
city. 1t was too far for him to take his
wife and child, so he left them at home
and travelled alone.
an that great city he saw many new
things which, having lived in the peace
full little hamlet up among the noun
tains all his life, ne had never seen be-
fore. lie desired to take home to his
wife some of these new things which
seemed to him 50 wonderful. And the
most wonderful gift he could take, it
seemed to him, was a mirror. lie wished
to take home to his wife the pleasure and
surprise he had experienced when he
first looked into n mirror. So he took
one home to mis- wife.
when he arrived home he rave the
present to his wife and for the first time
she looked into a mirror. What do you
scep' her husband asked. She replied:
Il declare! / see u very pretty N
She wears her hair just as | do mine
and she smiles and moves her lips as If
she were talking to me- Her husband
told her that the mirror was a present
for her and he hoped she would use it
every day. But the wife thought it
far too beautiful and rare and costly a
gift to use every day; so she put it
carefully away aud never spoke about
it TO the little daughter, who grew more
beautiful and more like her mother
every day.
"By and by a great misfortune fell
upon that little household. The wife
and mother fell sick and it was soon
evident that she must die. As she lay
upon her deathbed she called her little
daughter to her and told her that she
was gong to lose her mother forever.
She could point to no future life after
| death, in which they should be reunited.
| But in the love and simplicity of her
heart she did the best she could; she told
hOr little daughter about the wonderful
| mirror. After | am dead she said,
take down that box and look into tho
mirror hat it contains. There you will
see my face; and l want you to look into
the mirror every day that you may
never forget your mother and that you
may grow like me, more and more every
day
so the mother died. The little girl
did as she had been told and in the won.
derful mirror she thought she saw her
mothers face, young and beautiful, not
as she had seen her, pale and ill rs she
lay dying, but fair and fresh as she had
looked before the fatal illness. And
the little girl looked into the mirror
every day and thought of her mother
and her many lovely ways, and so il
came about that she grew to be more
and more like her mother as the years
went by"
