Iapanese Caution.

Among the characteristics of the
japanese an American at once no.
tees their love for children. 1t is
doubtful if any japanese child ever
got whipping.
An American woman who became
acquainted with a japanese matron
noticed that she allowed her little
children to ramble through the
streets at will and one day. com
mented on it.
"Why," said the japanese lady,
sswhat harm can come of it? Our
children never quarrel, and no
grown person would harm child. "
But" said the American, "the
child might get lost"
'That would make no trouble, !"
was the smiling reply, and then she
showed how in little children's ap-
parel there were inserted cards con-
tanning their name and address and
explaining that should they stray
any person finding them will first
give them a full meal and then
bring them home.

The Word "Cash."

The word "cash" is understood
to be derived from the Italian
"cassa," the chest where Italian
merchants kept their money, as do
at the present time the Spaniards
in their "caja," the Portuguese in
their "caza" and the French in their
"caisse." The application of the
word ''cash" to money is English,
it not having a corresponding term
in any other European language.
"Cash" having been SO inconsider-
ably adopted instead of ''cassa"
(chest), entries to the cash book tit
should be chest book are made in
American and English counting
houses in this unmeaning way,
"Cash Dr." and "Cash Cr.," where
as the chest, and not the money, is
debtor to what is put into it and
creditor for what is taken out.
Great mischief has too often
arisen, as is well known, in bank
rupt trials from misuse of the word
"cash," in which large deficiencies
often appear, and which would not
be the case if the word chest were
used, as it ought to be- Instead of
the cash account in the ledger it
should be the "cEs,t' account.

BIRDS AND THEIR VOICES.
Many OF the Feathered Tribe Are Gift.
ed as VentriIoquists.

Many birds have the gift of ven
trsloqulsm. They use their power
to a good effect because by it they
are often enabled to mislead their
enemies, although ornithologists
say they do so unconsciously, be-
cause often when the birds resort to
ventrlloquism to throw their pur-
suers off their track silence would
have saved the purpose much better.
| The pinnated grouse, or prairie
chicken, has this power to a re-
markable degree, as it's tone when
produced but a few rods from the
listener often has the effect of a
sound originating nearly mile dis
tant.
The little bird known as the
Maryland yellow throat, which lives
in low, bushy swamps during the
summer, shows considerable ability
as ventriloquist, and during the
nesting season makes use of the
power as protection, though ap-
parently an unnecessary one, for
the nest of this specie IS generally
so carefully hidden from sight that
it is almost impossible to find it.
When a person approaches the Vi
cinity of its nest, though probably
within few feet of the intruder,
it will throw it's voice back and
forth so realistically that it is al
most impossible to locate the bird.
Many of the ground birds have a
peculiar habit of throwing their
voices upward so that they appear
to come from treetops. Both the
blue winged and Tennessee war
blers, which are strictly ground
birds, constantly do this, though
the best illustration is that ex-
emplifed in the song of the winter
wren.

Haverly and Euuene FieId

1t was while Jack Haverly's for
tunes were on the wane and the
once great manager was feeling the
change in the tide of his affairs that
Eugene Field wrote the poem
beginning "Jack Haverly, Jack
Haverly, winder where you are. J"
Haverly was in New York at the
time. Before copy of the poem
reached him by mail a friend rushed
into his office and exclaimed: "Jack,
Gene Field has written poem
about you. It's, great. Read it"
And he handed the verses to the
manager. Haverlv read the poem
slowly and carefully.
"What do you think Of ii ?" asked
the friend.
Haverly replied solemnly, ''fhank
goodness, it is over.
"What's over" anxiously inquir-
ed the friend.
"Why," replied Haverly, Il have

The Cannv Scot.

They delight in telling stories
against themselves in Dunedin,
which they can afford to do, as they
are generous spirited and jovial
folk. One of the southern legisla-
tors greatly amused a late Scottish
governor Of the colony by the rela-
ton of an incident which he SOL
EMMY declared to be true. A man
from Dunedin visited Wellington.
An Irishman in the capital insisted
upon the visitor staying at his house
instead of at hotel and kept him
there for month, playing the host
in detail, even to treating him to
the theaters' and other amusements,
paying all the cab fares and the rest.
When the visitor was returning to
Dunedin, the Irishman saw him
down to the steamer, and they went
into the saloon to have parting
drink. "What'll you have?" said
the host, continuing his hospitality
to the very last.
'SNow, look here" said the man
from Dunedin, '1'll haze nae mair O

at yer hoose for month an payin'
