Told BY . Native OF Japan TO an Audiences
e in Rochester.

At Y. NJ. G. A. hall the other after.
noon Yeataso Okano, a Japanese, told
the following story to a.large audience,
says the Rochester Post-Erpress:
Once upon a time there lived in a
little hamlet in Japan q young couple.
They had one child, a beautiful little
girl, whom both loved very dearly. 1t
came to pass while the child was still :
baby girl that the father was obliged to
take a long journey to the far-distant
city. 1t was too far for him to take his
wife and child, so he left them at home
and travelled alone.
aIn 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, he had never seen be-
fore. He desired to take home to his
wife some of these new things which
seemed TO him so wonderful. And the
most wonderful gift he could take, 1t
seemed to him, was q mirror. He wished
to take home to his wife the pleasure and
surprise he had experienced when he
first looked into a mirror. So he took
one home to mis- wife.
when he arrived home he gave the
present to his wife and for the first time
she looked into a mirror. What do YOU
seeP' her husband asked. She replied:
l declare! l see a very pretty woman.
She wears her hair just as | do mine
and she smiles and moves her lips US il
she were talking to me- Her husband
told her that the mirror was u present
for her and he hoped she would use it
every day. But the wife thought it
far too beautiful and rare and costly q
gift to use every day; SO she put it
carefully away and never spoke about
it to the little daughter. who grew more
beautiful and more like her mother
every day.
sBy and by a great misfortune fell
upon that little household. Tho wife
and mother fell sick and it was soon
evident that she must die. As she Law
upon her deathbed she called her little
daughter to her and told her that she
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
her little daughter about the wonderful
mirror. After l am dead, she said,
take down that box and look into the
mirror that it contains. There you will
see my face; and I want youto 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

did as she had been told and in the won

mothers face, young and beautiful, not

God viii Sprinkle Sunshine.

ble's flag unfurled,
An looking like he didn't have a friend
In all the world,
Go up and slap him on the back, and
holler. GLOW d. you doa'
And grasp his hand so warm he'll know
he has a friend in you.
Then AK him what's a-hurtin' him. an,
laugh his cares away,
tell him that the darkest night Is
just before the day.
Don't talk in graveyard palaver, but say
it right out loud,
That God Will sprinkle sunshine in the
trail OF every cloud.
This world at best is but a hash of pleas
ure and of pain;
Some days are bright and sunny, and
some all sloshed with, rain,
And that's just how It ought to be, for
when the clouds roll by
Wen know just how to 'preciate the
bright and Smiling sky.
SO learn to take it as 1t comes. and don't
sweat at the pores
because the Lords opinion doesn't coins
eide with yours;
But always keep rememberin'. when cares
your path enshroud,
That God has lots Of sunshine to spill

HINTS FOR DA1RYMEN.

The dairy takes but very little from
the soil.
a good cow always commands a good
price.
The salt used in butter should be of
the best quality.
Always clean the udder and sides Of
COWS before milking.
The quicker the butter comes the
better for the quality.
Milk with clean hands. Disease
germs Turk in all sorts of dirt.
The dairy demands n good deal Of
hard work. but considering all things,
1t Is profitable.
That big lazy dog Of yours might be
made to do the %churning, if you would
get a small tread power.
The man who will sell, as pure bred,
animals that cannot be registered de-
serves the severest punishment.
Feed a few, not many, small potatoes
to the COWS. Cut them up and mix with
meal. Too many will soften the butter,
Milk should be drank slowly. The
reason that milk doessnot agree with
some people is because they drink it too
fast.
If the COW i well fed and gives thin
blue milk-which She will sometimes
do-she IS not worth the salt she eats,
as a mnkcr.

After seven shots the British guns sue

A force of Beers is now advancing on
the British left flank
The naval brigade arrived this morning
at $50 o'clock and commenced firing al
noon with six quick-firing guns with
great precision.
The Boer 4O-pounders which had again
begun to she'll the town, were temporarily
disabled at the third and fifth shots. Brisk
lighting is In progress on the right and
left flanks.
The advance was made at dawn, with
the object of shelling the Beers from the
position were yesterday they had mount
ed number of guns on reaching the
spot however. It was found they had
evacuated the position.
The British continued to advance, and
the movement developed into a reccnnois-
sance In force.
The enemy were posted on a range Of
hills having a frontage of about sixteen
miles. The British force was disposed In
the following order
On the right three regiments of cavalry.
four batteries of the royal field artillery
and five battalions of infantry; in the
center. three batteries of the royal field
artillery. Two regiments OF cavalry and
four infantry battalions, and on the left
the Royal Irish Fusileers, the Gloucester
shire regiment and the Tenth Mountain
Battery.
This force had been detailed to guard
our left flank at late hour fast night.
Gen. Whites plans OF operations were
that as the movement developed, the force
constituting our center, which was DIS
posed under cover of a kopje about three
miles from the town, should throw itself
upon the enemy, while the left flank was
being held by the FusiTieers and the Glou-
cesters. The scheme was well devised but
failed in execution, owing to the fact
that the Boer position which formed our
objective was evacuated. We very quick
ly reduced the vo,ume of the enemy's fire,
but'th attack delivered on our right flank
was the principal one and the column was
compelled to change.
