BRAVE LITTLE Jap.
He Performed One of the Most Thrill
ing Deeds of UnseIish Heroism
Ever Recorded

All the war correspondents are one
tn their enthusiastic praise of the
Jap as soldier, especially in the war
with China. Thomas f. Willard re-
Gently related a thrilling anecdote re-
garding the bravery of the Japanese.
The force sent to relieve the Chris
tians who were being besieged in Pc
king had arrived, and it developed on
the japanese contingent to blow in
certain gate. The artillery did some
damage, but the breach was not suf-
ticient to admit of a charge upon the
enemy. These massive wooden gates,
which are sunk deep in the thick 12-
foot high walls, are approached by
means of little bridge across the
moat that encircles the city. The Jap
general decided that a breach would
have to be effected by means of dyra-
mite. For this dangerous mission he
called for volunteers. A little corporal
about four feet six inches in height
was picked out. AS with utter uncon-
Germ he marched briskly over the
bridge the enemy potted at him from
the top of the wall until he was out
of sight in the recess occupied by the
gate. Lighting the fuse, he quickly
made his way back to his own lines
without sustaining wound. No soon
er had he gotten out of the way than
a small door set in the large gate was
cautiously opened and an Acknowledged
face peered out. With his sandaled
foot the Chinaman stamped out the
lighted fuse. Then he went back and
closed the door.
Defying almost certain death, the
little corporal bravely started out
again, and once more lit the fuse.
On the way back he was hit on the
shoulder and stumbled to the ground
Then he picked himself up and man
aged TO reach safety. Once more,
however, the foxy Chinaman was too
quick for the slow fuse. Then the
little corporal went pattering back to
the half demolished gate, lit the fuse,
drew his short bayonet-sword and
waited. There was a moment of
breathless suspense, then with a
frightful roar the old gate was blown
to the heavens, and with it went the
poor little corporal. 1t is one thing
to risk ones life in the heat of battle,
but quite another to face the certain
and horrible death from which this
subject of the mikado never hinehed.

MUD PIES.

OF all the enjoyments under the skies,
There's nothing so jolly as making mud
pies.
Prepare a nice shingle, or short, narrow
plank.
Lay it carefully down on bright, sunny
bank.
Take the freshest of earth and the clearest
of sand,
And mix them up thoroughly well with
your hand.
Add a cupful of water, then stir with a
stick
A little more water if it seems too thick.
Now take up a lump of this beautiful
dough,
About just enough for mud pie, you know;
Roll it softly around and give it a pat,
Don't have it too humpy and yet not too
fat
Lay It down on the board to bake in the
sun
Then make all the others just like this one.
Then sprinkle white sand over each little
cake,
And leave them about fifteen minutes to
bake.
And when they are done, you'll certainly
That's the most fun I've had for many a
day"

Parrots Tnught bx Phnnnrrsnn

The teaching of parrots nowadays
is made comparatively easy by the
use of the modern marvel, the phono-
graph. There is a man in London
who educates on an average 40 birds
a month, and does it entirely by
means of the talking machines. The
parrots classroom is divided up into
little compartments, which are kept
shrouded in darkness. Each bird is
placed in a separate cell" and two
or three times day monograph is
left with it. The machine is auto
matte, and when wound up and let
loose will grind out and repeat a sem
tence or a number of sentences over
and over again, for hours at a time.
1t is said the birds very soon ~
able to initiate the weird mechan& -
voice which comes out of the dark
ness. Perhaps they learn quickly in
order to be relieved the sooner of the
necessity of hearing the same thing
over again for hours at a stretch.

THIS CAT LIKES WATER.
Pennsylvania Pussy De6es Feline
Tradition by Taking Bath
Whenever Possible.

The well-known aversion of the
feline race for water has an odd ex-
ception in the pet of family on
Friends avenue, above Cooper street,
Camden, Pa. This puss is so fond OF
playing in water that it is sometimes
difficult to keep it out of the way. One
of the favorite pastimes of this funny
little cat is to jump on the kitchen
sink when the water is running from
the spigots and bat at the stream
with its paws. Sometim it gets in
the way and must be pushed down
but at the first opportunity it is back
again, seeming to find great sport in
