PLAYING AT PARLIAMENT.
A New Came Which FIourIshes In
the Schools of Japan.

An ingenious schoolteacher in Japan
recently conceived the idea Of having
his pupils hold sessions similar to those
of the japanese parliament, and so sue
cessful has this noble idea proved that
it is now being generally adopted
through the schools of the country. 1t
has also attracted the attention Of
many Europeans and certain leading
Journals in Germany and France claim
that schoolteachers in every country
might we'll follow the example of the
japanese professor.
In his school the principal plays the
part of the prime minister, and three
teachers represent respectively the min
listers of public instruction, of war and
of the navy. Three of the senior scholars
take the part of privy councillors, and
the Oldest professor acts as president OF
the parliament, the place of vice presi-
dent being taken by the professor Of
history. Other professors and pupils
act the parts of speaker, secretary of
state and the other official personages
dLtdCUcu "
At the opening session, which was
held in the large schoolroom of the high
school at Sendai, city in the north of
Japan, an embryo member of parlia-
ment presented for discussion bill for
the abolition of all examinations. The
principal champion of the bill was
young student named Kato. He spoke
for two hours in its favor, paying not
the slightest attention to the many in
terruptions which were made by the
deputies on the crowded benches. The
newspapers next day gave long ac-
count of his speech and predicted for
him brilliant parliamentary career If
he decided to enter public life.
The speakers who followed him were
not so fortunate of them indeed
was so embarrassed by the Interruptions
from the benches that he lost his head
completely and was fain to turn aside
and swallow cup of tea, after which
he hastily left the platform. A curious
feature of TIE session was the gayety
of all those who took part in it. Stu
dents, as we'll as professors, did not hes
itate to lay stress on the weak points OF
the grave dignitaries whom they rep
resented, and many hearty laugh was
aroused by the skillful manner in which
they portrayed the leading legislators
of their country. This first session last
ed for seven hours, and it might not
have ended then if the prime minister
had not remarked that it was time for
dinner.
Evidently there will be no lack of
candidates for parliamentary honors in
Japan, at least during the present gen.

CALIFORNIA; Bean King.

Dixie Thompson is the "bean king"
of California, and down in Ventura
county he has a ranch Of 1000 acres
devoted exclusively to the cultivation
of beans. There were 5000 acres
planted there last year. which produced
1000 carloads Of beans Three hundred
carloads were shipped from Santa Bar

acres They tell me that 1873 distinct
varieties of leans are grown in Ven
tura county. They are sown and Guilt
waited in tie same manner as corn and
are harvested by special machinery,
which cuts the vines close to the roots.
The vines are then raked into wind
rows, piled into stacks and are thrashed
by steam power rahines. which are
also specially contrived for the bean
business. Chicago Record.

Freeing II Domestic Eagle.

A friend of mine, who told me the
etory, had. an eagle. He caught it when
it was young, and had brought 1t up
as far as he could like domestic fowl.
Having, in Gods providence, togo over
to the other side of the world, he was
selling off everything. He wondered
what he should do with his eagle, and
the happy thought came to him that he
would not give it to anybody, but would
give it back to itself-he would set it
free. And he then opened the place in
which it had been kept and brought it
to the back green. How he was aston
ished 1t walked about, feeling as if
this were rather bigger than its ordi-
nary run, but that was all. He was
disappointed, and, taking the big bird
in his arms, he lifted itup and set it up
on his garden wall.
1t turned and looked down at himl
The sun had been obscured behind a
cloud. But just then the cloud passed
away and the bright. warm beams
poured out. The eagle lifted its eyes
and pulled itself up 1 wonder what it
was thinking? Can an eagle recollect
the crags and cliffs, the reveling in the
tempests of long ago, the joyous thun-
dering and the flashing lightnings9
Pulling itself up, it lifted one wing and
stretched it out-"by prayer and sup
plication it lifted the other wing
-"with thanksgiving" -and out
stretched it. Then it gave scream and

interest in coal mine near his home.
The business grew steadily. In 1878,
at the time of the panic, he was only

acquire the whole plant, and then he
began to spread. He bought everything
he could in the way of coal land, and
when the reaction came he found him

TO CURE BY DREAMS.
A Doctors Device For Making the
Patients See Pleasant Visions.

A Doctors Device For Making the
Patients See Pleasant Visions.
An English physician claims to have
discovered q new and efficacious cure
for persons afflicted with nervous or
mental maladies. If such persons, he
says, can only procure pleasant dreams.
they will soon regain their health, and
his aim is therefore to furnish them
with delightful dreams.
For this purpose he uses soft leath-
er cap, which covers the patients head
and ears and leaves only the face IN
covered. Beside the ears are placed two
metal plates, which are joined by a
rubber tube to monograph. The pa
tent rests on divan in dark room,
and in front of him is sort of magic
lantern, from which are projected at
brief intervals various enjoyable pic
lures. In this way, it is claimed, the
eyes of the sick person are delighted,
while at the same time his ears are
soothed by the vibrations of the phono-
graph.
AS result WEAKNESS comes upon him
and is soon followed by slumber, and
it is while he is doing in this manner
that happy dreams are evoked, thanks
to the photograph and the stereopticon.
After this light slumber comes a deep
sleep, which, we are assured, is always
most beneficial.
Several tests of this kind have been
made with success, and it is said that
not only are tired nerves refreshed by
this method, but that the patients
body also rapidly increases in weight.
That pleasant sounds and sights are
soothing to the serves we have all
known for long time, but that pleas
ant dreams have a tendency to make
persons fat will certainly be news
to the general public.-Philadelphia

The death is announced in Essex of

is that she once kissed the queen for
shilling. Instead of receiving the shill-

time ago. A school of girls met the
baby, Victoria, out with her nurse and
offered a shilling each for permission to
kiss her. The nurse made about SO by
the transaction. The Duke of Kent
Cher majesty's father reprimanded her
and said that in future she must never
take less than a guinea per kiss. In
honor of the event the schoolgirls form

woman in Essex was the last survivor
