japanese 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 a whipping.
An American woman who became
acquainted with japanese matron
noticed that she allowed her little
children to ramble through the
streets at vii! and one day COM
mented on it.
"Why," said the japanese lady,
what harm can come of it? Our
children never quarrel, and no
grown person would harm a 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 APP
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.

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,
paving 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 a parting
drink. "What'll you have?" said
the host, continuing his hospitality
to the very last.
"Now, look here" said the mar.

The Word "Cash."

The word sscash" 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 sscash" 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 Git
should be chest book) are made in
American and English counting
houses in this unmeaning way,
"Cash Dr. and ssCash 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. III 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 chest account.

GREAT sHOEMAKERs.
George Fox's Suit of Leather and Rog-
er sherman's Common Sense.


er sherman's Common Sense.
Carlyle said that one of the most
remarkable incidents in history was
that of the making Of George Fox's
suit of leather. He made it him
self. The man, the first Of the
Friends, and by trade shoemaker,
was one to whom the divine ideal of
the universe seemed to be manifest
ed. Fox made shoes until he be-
came SO interested in the books he
had studied that he could not hold
himself in check. He had to
preach. He had no clothes fit to
wear, so he made himself leather
suit that would withstand years of
wear. Carlyle wrote, 'sLet some
Angelo or Rosa picture George Fox
on that morning when he spread
out his cutting board for the last
time and cut cowhides by unwonted
patterns and stitched them together
into one continuous all including
case, the farewell service Of his
awl."
Roger Sherman never said a
foolish thing in his life," said
Thomas Jefferson. Roger Shes-
man had more common sense than
any other man / ever knew" said
another eminent man. ssWhen I
come in late, and do not know
which way to VOTE" said Fisher
Ames, 81 ask how Sherman voted.
He always votes right" Sherman
was one of the signers of the Decla-
ration of Independence. He was a
shoemaker until he was twenty-one
years old. People used to point out
where he sat, where he worked and
studied, and where he could set his
book so that he could glance at it
in the interval of the work of the
hammer and the awl. Of his con
nection with the "gentle craft" he
was never ashamed. He declared in
congress against certain contract
for shoes. ssThe charges are ex-
orbitant," he said, which fact he
proved by specifying the cost of the
leather and the materialsOnd of the
work. The minuteness with which
this was done excited surprise, and
then he said to the committee, 81
am by trade shoemaker" Yes, a
patriot and shoemaker he was, and
in both capacities he was prc-emi-
nent for common sense. Success.

BIRDS AID THEIR VOICES.
Many Of the Feathered Tribe Are Gift.
ed as ventriIoquists.


Mary birds have the gift of ven
triloquism. They use their power
to 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
yentriloquism 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-
narkable degree, as its tone when
produced but 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 a 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 its voice back and
forth SO realistically that it is al
most impossible to locate the bird.
Many of the ground birds have
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.

A Train Problem.

1t is seldom, indeed, that the fol-
towing question is answered correct
~ offhand:
A train starts daily from San
Francisco to New York and one
daily from New York to San Fran
cisco, the journey lasting five days.
How many trains will a traveller
meet in journeying from New York
to San Francisco?
About ninety-nine persons out OF
hundred would say FIVE trains, as a
matter of course. The fact is over
looked that every day during the
journey fresh train is starting
from the other end, while there are
five trains on the way to begin with.
Consequently the traveller will meet
not five trains, but ten.

What an "lnch" Of Rain Means

Few people can form a definite
idea Of what is involved in the ex-
preston, "An inch of rain" It
may aid such to follow this curious
calculation. An acre is equal to
6,272, $40 square inches. An inch
deep of water on this area will be
as many cubic inches Of water,
which, at 227 to the gallon, is
$4,000 gallons. This immense
quantity of water will weigh $780,
900 pounds, or 100 tons. One-hun-
dredth of an inch alone is equal to
one ton of water to the acre.
