Japanese Doll Festival.

However fond American girls may be
of their dolls, they are not in the habit
of making festivals for them. 1t is
in Japan where they do that There
a special day is set apart for the feast
ing of the dolls. This is the Sd day of
April. 1t is then that the sakura or
peach trees, burst into bloom, and sure
ly no more appropriate time could be
found for a joyous celebration The
sakura trees are not the only things
that bloom on this Sd of April by any
means. All women and children dress
up in their holiday attire. The rooms
are profusely decorated with the beau
tiful sakura boughs, and every doll
in Japan is also arrayed in her best
bib and tucker. Each girl has on ex-
hibition the dolls she has received dur
ing the last year, and the little misses
and their mothers go calling among
their friends to see which can make the
finest showing A splendid banquet of
japanese dainties is prepared for this
extraordinary group of inanimate
young people, and in the evening, when
they are supposed to have eaten as
much as is good for any lot of dolls,
the real flesh and blood young folk with
their elders finish the feast. and quite
frequently, no doubt. are less wise than
the dolls, inasmuch as they eat more
than is compatible with healthy

Bird Study.

Does there ever come q day when
your spirits fiag-when the lodestar of
daily effort seems to have set in gloom
Then HE away to some beautiful birdy
spot-(perhaps the spot may be found
IN your own garden), and seating your
self in some unobstrusive place, await
developments. A song is heard; listen
to it; analyze it; and put it into words
II you can. Keep quiet and the singer
may perch in full sight of you But
i he keeps at a distance, follow him.
Do not give up until a fair view is had
OF the songster. Be quiet in your move
ments and make as few as possible.
Note the color, form, size and song of
your bird, and. if you do not know him
then, look him up in some good bird
book after you go home.
Depend upon eye and ear; do not
make movement except to bring your
a-gass to your eyes, and this as
quietly and with as little motion as
possible. The squirrels will appear and
chatter to you, especially if you can
answer them in their own language
The woodpecker will tap the tree above
your head to see if he can startle you.
and then chuckle hoarsely, so exactly
ike the SOulTTelS S DARK IlldI even old
hunters have been deceived by it. And
perchance your silent vigil will be re-
warded by the song of the hermit thrush
and that solitary beauty may reveal
himself to- your longing eyes. The
chewink may flute you tune and then
fit away out of the leafy silence into
the more open places where he makes
his nest. An hour will pass as but a
minute, and if you have any success at
all you will not wait for the "blue
devils" to drive you to a second morn
ing with the birds.-Self Culture.

Boston has just built the largest cy-
cling machine in the world. 1t is a
tricycle., weighing nearly a ton and
standing fully eleven feet high. It re-
qulres nine men to operate it, Cne to
direct its course and eight to oronel
its pedals. 1t atta,ns a great speed. too,
considering it's weight, being capable
of over thirty miles an hour. The ma
chine was built by the Boston Woven
Hose Company and has been run by
the company upon the streets of Bos-
ton on several occasions. It's great size
has attracted for ii much attention. Its
driving wheels are each eleven feet
in diameter, and weigh in the neighbor-
hood of go pounds They are rubber
tired and fitted with ball bearings to
facilitate their smooth running. They
are driven by chain gearing connecting
with double shaft. Four sets of ped
ais connect with each shaft, the men
sitting in a row between the wheels.
The front steering wheel is over seven
feet in diameter. IT is controlled by a
chain and wheel and easily handled by
one man. He sits in front and guides
it's course, evading obstacles With lit
tie difficulty. On level road one man
could readily push it along from be-
hind, but at least three would be neces-
sary to move it by the pedals. Fight,
however, have no difficulty even in
fairly hilly districts.

ORIGINAL AND IMITATION.

Before we go on with the particulars OF this
sale we wish to call attention to thought from
John Ruskin, the great English writer 1t VIII
be found in his lecture "a Joy Forever
Never buy copy of painting under any
circumstances; all copies are bad; because no
painter who is worth straw ever will copy. lie
may make sketch for his own use, but he won't
and can't copy.
Whenever you buy copy OF picture you
buy SO much misunderstanding Of the original,
and encourage dull person in following busi-
ness he is not fit for"
What Ruskin says above about original
paintings and limitations of them, to our mind,
applies with equal force to modes of merchan-
dising. AS an example we might call attention
to our special sales To get them up requires the
skill and brain work of able buyers, and no shall
low copies or limitations Of them can ever amount
to anything. The best proof that the people OF
Sacramento think as Ruskin does is in the large
numbers that turn out to our sales.
