A Gong W hacking Competition.

A strange ceremony, indicative of
the hold which the old superstitions
still have on the Japanese people and
of the queer manner in which their
different religions mix, took place re-
Gently in the town OF Wakamatsu on
the thirty-third anniversary of the
battles of Aizu, where the star of the
last of the shoguns was forever
quenched in blood. The ceremony was
in commemoration of the Japanesa
who fell on the wrong side of those
fatal fields and was attended by a
crowd of Shinto priests, near whom sat
another crowd of Buddhist BONES, in
the full glory of purple silken cloaks.
A big post in the center bore an in
scription inviting the souls of the de-
parted to the feast, and at signal
given both sections burst simultan-
eously into prayer and chantings to
which they kept tune with their gongs
and bells. AS Japanese music is a
terror, and as each sect tried to outdo
the other in creating noise, the scene
was not one of pastoral calm and the
spirits did not, so far as any unpreju-
diced observer could judge, come back.

There was once COW who was
very proud. She had some reason to
be proud, perhaps, although she had
no right; for none of us have any
right, although we may have reason.
This cow was the prettiest COW
among the herd. She was of a lovely
light brown color and of slighter
and better shape than the other cows.
Also her disposition was more ami
able than that of the rest, that is, it
was until she grew proud. She gave
twice as much milk as any one of the
herd and the butter which the dairy
maid got from it was celebrated for
miles around.
The mistress of that COW was very
much pleased to exhibit her to any
visitors. She was continually bring
ing her friends out to the barnyard to
admire my beautiful little Alderney."
The cow did not exactly know what
the name meant, but she knew it must
be complimentary, for each set of
visitors strove to outdo the last in
praising her.
So this COW began to grow very
naughty and she put on many airs
among her companions. Whether she
was in the cow-yard or in the field,
she selected the pleasantest spot for
herself, the softest bedding and the
choicest of the food. Sooner than
create dispute, the other COWS gave
way good naturedly and allowed her
to have her own way. She would
allow no one to precede her. Coming
out of the cow-yard in the morning to
pasture, or going back at night, she
always insisted upon being the first
one to enter or leave the gate, and
the other COWS were obliged to walk
humbly behind.
One night, by some accident, the
other cows happened to arrive at
home first, and when the proud COW
got to the cow-house door, all the
others had entered, and she was left
to come in last. Much affronted at
this humiliation, the COW stood at the
door lowing and showing her anger
in every way possible. She resisted
every effort of the dairymaid, who
knew well what was the matter, to
drive her into the yard.
This is the third time she has
acted So" grumbled Rose, the dairy.
maid. 81 have had to turn out every
one of the COWS so that she could
enter first. Nothing else will suit
her"
Now it happened that this night the
cows mistress came down to show off
her favorite, as usual, to a party of
friends. Much astonshed at the cows
actions, she stood watching. The
COW ran back and forth around the
house, kicked, tossed her head and
made all the noise of which she was
capable
What is the matter?" the lady
asked. why, it is dangerous to have
such creature"
Indeed it is, ma'am," cried Rose,
flushed and indignant. Then shs,
told of the cows bad temper. "AnL.

blesome, ma'am," added Rose, eve

to give. She may be pretty enough
creature to look at, but if looks arsdI
all, it's plaster COW you'd better get.
IhdI VIII sldnu lneIe, ana make less
trouble, ma'am."
And the mistress quite agreed with
her.
Since her usefulness Is over" she
said, I'VE cannot afford to keep her
any longer for the sake of her beauty.
Tomorrow morning | will ask the
butcher what she will be worth as
beeI."
so the COW and her pride were
ended together.-Brooltlyn Eagle.

A notable instance of liberality in
high quarters is that of the English
Earl of Dysart, who, being himself a
musical enthusiast, and good land
lord, recently made a visit to all the
tenants on his estate, and arranged to
present piano to every family where
he found any of the children showed
an aptitude for music. Another sin
gular case of thoughtfulness for the
poor comes from Paris. There are
few Paris windows where plants grow
ing in pots are not seen. A rich phi
lanthropist has had the queer idea of
opening free hospital for sick plants
in the Faubourg st. Antoine. There

gardeners who look after the plants
that are brought in till they recover,
and then return them to their owners.
