THEATRICAL PATRIOTISM.

Blackwood Professions we have in
plenty, our eyes are always dazzled with
the glitter of changing lights. yet the
clown is reduced to his very lowest terms,
the pantaloon is no longer the genial
dupe of our childrhood, and if the harle-
quin does flourish wooden sword. 1t Is
only for an instant, and by way of an
apology. What, then, is put in the place
of the old entertainments? The endless
manoeuvering of half-drilled women, and
inapposite patriotism. The patriot is the
noblest of men, when he does not degen-
crate into a patrotard. But we confess
that we do not want to hear of England's
grandeur from behind the footlights, nor
do we bear with patience lesson in poll
tics delivered by a young lady whose pink
tights are obviously too small for her.
This kind Of hysteria may attract PEN
nies to the tambOurine: it does not in
crease the dignity of our country nor
the courage of our citizens. But the cli-
max is reached when in certain panto-
mime, dozen dancing girls turn violent
somersauts in order that , as they stand
upon their heads, the union jack may be
seen emblazoned in their petticoats. 'Tis
a sorry spectacle. and if it We're charac-
teristic, we might take it for a symptom
of the nations decadence.

BALD EAGLE WITH A TAG.

Kalamazoo (Mich.) Special to Chicago
Chronicle: Bernard Hance of Hickory
Corners shot bald eagle today. The
royal birds wings measured feet and 8
inches from tip to tip. The eagle when
shot had just dropped upon a sheep in
Hances barnyard. On one of it's legs
was a silver tag, on which was engraved
"P. z. G., July 4. 1885," and it is supposed
the bird escaped from the geological gar
dens during the centennial exposition.

oner Of the poor little raccoon. For a
time the little captive bore his i'm
prisonmcnt very sullcnly, but good
food and kind treatment soon
changed his wild, shy nature into =
spirit of love and confidence. When
he had attained full size his appear
ancc was between that Of fox and
"A bear, on a smaller scale Of course.
For the benefit Of our girls and
boys interested in nature, our friend,
Mr.. T. A. Sterling, sends photograph
of this pretty and intelligent little
animal climbing up the big limb of a
tree.
In the wild state the raccoon always
conducts himself like n perfect little
gentleman His fayorte feeding
grounds are along the shady banks
of streams, or in some swampy bit OF
woods, where can be found those large
delicious frogs he loves so we'll lie
has, however, no scruples against 60
ing out into the fields and orchards
in search of nuts, fruits and green
corn; and, moreover, when Dame For
tune puts nice fat poultry in his way
Mr.. RaCcoon is too much of gentle
man TO refuse them, which often gets
him into trouble with the farmer. lie
also eats mice, rats, insects, eggs-in
fact is almost omnivorous. He is ac-
tive day and night
A curious and interesting habit Of
raccoons is that Of washing all their
food in water. 1t matters not wheth-
or they have an ear of corn nice
clean berry or n big fat bug, they
will always seek little pool of wa
ter and carefully dip the object in it
several times before conveying it to
their mouth.-St Nicholas.

"Oh-well- there s-no-hurry" and Yes

Is loaang and doing. but most of the peo

Are engaged in the traffic of just-killing-

A JAPANESE CHARACTER.
The Crafty JinrilSisha-Mnn Is at
Once the Bane and Blessing
of Travellers.

Onoto Watanna, the gifted Japanese
writer, writing of "The Horseless Car
riage of Japan" gives this description
of the most picturesque laborer of her
native land: THE jinrikisha-man
waits at the street-corners and solic-
its fares. though this is contrary to
the exact police regulations. How
ever, the jinrikisha-man ns not always
as principled as he might be, and has
little, if any, regard for the police or
his regulations. He has no compunc-
ton whatever in oyercharging the
scale of fares set by the police, but as
rule the customer himself pays but
little attention to this. The fare is
usually higgled over before riding,
and while they walk, and sometimes
great distances are covered before
! terms have been reached. Vhe jim
rikisha-man also generally Unlawful
ly) demands drink-money, especially
when he is forced to wait at tea
houses or pleasure resorts on the
road. He is constantly beng set on
by the police for charging more than
agreed on, threatening to put down
female customers unless his demands
are acceded to. A woman hiring n
vehicle, for instance, may sometimes
find herself within impossible walk
ing distance of any town or point,
and n surly man demanding extra
fare or threatening to dump her.
Counter-threats do not affect him,
Better pay and be done with it. How
ever when you have melted his heart
with handful of sen he becomes a
friend worth having. 1t is true he
may spot you as being one whom it
is worth his while to keep in touch
with during your visit in the city, and
you will find it difficult 70 leave your
hotel without encountering him hard
by, approximately soliciting your
patronage, though on each and every
occasion he will call to you as though
you were an utter stranger to him
and he has never seen you before, or
does not appear to recognize you as
the person who tipped him so well the
previous day."-Woman's Home Com
panion.
