PARAGONS OF DUTY.
DroII Legends of FiIinI Piety as
prncticcd In Japan.


Prncticcd In Japan.
The Japanese make much of the duty
Of children to parents. In some OF
their popular stories they cxaggerate
the wholesome virtue until il becomes
absurd. There Is group of such tales
called The -Four and Twenty Para
CONS Of Filial Piety," some Of which
Mr.. Basil Hall Chamberlain collects In
Things japanese"
One is the story of the paragon whose
cruel stepmother was very fond Of fish
In spite OF Eer harsh treatment he lay
naked on frozen lake until his body
melted Il hole in the ice. He caught
two fish that came up TO breathe and
set them before his stepmother. An
other paragon lay uncovered at night
In order that the mosquitoes should
fasten on him al!ne and allow his
parents to slumber undisturbed.
Still another, who was extremely
poor, determined to sacrifice his own
child In order to save food to support
his aged mother. He was rewarded
by heaven with the discovery of a YES
sci filed with gold, on which the whole
family lived happily ever after a
fourth gave her father a chance TO es-
cape while she clung to the jaws of the
tiger which was about TO devour him.
The drollest story of all Is of Rovai-
sh. This paragon, although seventy
years old. used to dress in baby's
clothes and sprawl about the floor. His
object was piously TO delude his par
ents, who were more than ninety years
of age, into the idea that they could
not he so very old after all, seeing that
they had an infant son.

as lady's slipper and lady's tresses,
were "Our Lady's" before abbreviated
by time. Our Lady's thistle received its
namcfrom legend connected with the
flight of the holy family from Bethle-
hem. AS Mary nursed the Infant by
the roadside n few drops of milk fell
OH Il plant at her feet, and the leaves
retain to this day the vouchers for the
story. The virgins bower, marigold,
maiden's hair and all like titles were
originally named for the Virgin Mary.
The fIitillaFia, or checkered lily, be-
fore the crucifiXion was pure white,
with upturned cup. 1t stood proudly
erect during the suffering until dark
ness enshrouded the earth, and it saw
that all nature but itself was grievlng.
Then 1t bent low its head and dopned
garments Of mourning and began to
weep Sill it hangs its head in SOM
Der attire and still each petal sheds a
pearly tear.
The veronica gets its name from a
resemblance to the imprint of ChriSts
features left on st. Veronica's hand
kerchief when she pressed from out
the throng and wiped the perspiration
from the Redeemer's brow.
1t has never been decided what tree
or trees furnished wood for the cross.
Bede says the cypress, the cedar, the
pine and the box, but st. Chrysostom
quotes from Isaiah tx, 13. 1.-THE glory
of Lebanon CEDAR shall come unto
thee, the fir tree, the pine tree and the
box together to beautify the place of
my sanctuary" The four woods are
considered symbolic Of the four quar-
ters of the globe over which the in
nuence of the cross shall finally extend.
There is an old English legend carry
ing the cross back to the days of our
first parents. Adam sent Abel to an
angel to petition him to show them the
path back to the garden of Eden. The
angel gave Abel three seeds and direct
ed him to plant them. saying that from
their trunks would spring the path to
paradise. The seeds were planted, and
one tree at least was flourishing at the
time Solomon erected his temple. This
tree was cut down to furnish n ridge
pole, but after 1t was brought in II was
found to be too short. Then 1t was
east aside and lay waste by the pool of
Bethesda until It was taken to form
the cross, which, according to Chris
tlanity, will guide us 10 the paradise
lost TO us by the weakness of the first
man.

was rubbing loose.
Il wish you would open it now" said
Harry.
His persistence was just exactly
what would naturally keep May from
opening the egg to please him, but II
must be admitted that her curiosity
was very thoroughly aroused. Besides,
he somehow seemed different from
what he used to be before going to the
city, and she was beginning to feel
a misgiving that she might tease him
altogether too much. Finally she de-
cided that she would satisfy him and
her own curiosity by opening the Eas-
ter egg. Taking the cake knife in her
hand, she took one more critical look
at the egg and then exclaimed:
"Oh, wish you had put the poetry
at the other end Of the egg, for l
would like to save this wonderful shell!
But now I'll have to spoil the verses
while opening it."
"Why, no." he protested. Il put the
verses near the big end SO that you
wouldn't have to spoil them"
But how could open the egg with
out spelling themf"
'By opening it at the little end, as
everybody else does"
"At the little endi I never opened
an egg at the little end in my life"
"Well. it isn't too late for you to be-
gin now"
''It is entirely too late when / know
better. Everybody knows that the
big end is the only end to open an egg
at If you open that end, you have
room to get your spoon in
spoon nonsense. You would think
that one ate eggs with a tablespoon to
hear you talk"
We'll, one would think you had new
er eaten eggs at ALL" she retorted,
when you don't know which end to
open"
But do know at which end to open
then. and that is why l fixed that one
as | did. My mother taught me as
child to open my egg at the little end,
and have never forgotten it."
"If it had been sensible, you would
have forgotten it, but | want you to
know that my mother taught me to
open them at the big end, and it just
makes me sick to see any one open an
egg at the little end. That's the end
that the yolk is in, and you are always
in danger OF cutting too deep and
mussing things up"
"Myw he said, with an attempt at
being sarcastic. How well you know
the anatomy of an egg"
WELL" she answered hotly, Il know
the anatomy of eggs SO well that have
no further desire to investigate the con-
tents of this one, even IL it does show
the giver's mind" And she replaced 1t
on the table.

Chinese Hon esty.

AS for the honesty of these people,
appeal to every English merchant OF
banker from Peling to Hongkong tc
answer If he ever heard of a dishonest
Chinese merchant or banker. So far
from that, not only has every English
bank two Cinnamon to receive and
hand out money, but every bank in
Japan has the same. The English will
tell you, half in jest, that the japanese
is an oriental Yankee and does not
trust his own people, and they will tell
you, half IN earnest, that the English
bankers employ Chinese to handle their
money because they never make mis-
takes.
These people of China have never
had anything like a bankrupt law. If
a man cannot pay his debts or some
one does not secretly come forward
and pay them at the end of each year
he has ''lost his face" and so he dies
by his own hand. Yet, with all their
piteous poverty. they have no such
words as "hard times" for everything
must be settled up at the end of the
year There can be no extension of
time. Confucius forbade it.-Joaquin
Miller in North American Review.

afford to get sarcastic about the giver's
mind. You don't appear to have enough
cf your own to enable you to open an
egg properly" AS he said this he rose
angriIy. Now, you need not be sur
prfsed that these young people were 50
foolish as to quarrel about the proper
way OF opening an egg. We can all re-
member how carefully the historian Of
the LiIliputians has recorded the events
OF the cruel war that ragged between
the big Endians and the little Endians.
A lovers feelings are more soft and sensi-
BILE
Than are the tender horns OF cockled
snails
So 1t is no wonder that their tender
feelings were wounded by this trifie.
AS Harry rose angrily from the table
he accidentally struck against II In
such a way that the golden egg, which
May had put down, started to roll to-
ward the edge, and before either Of
them noticed what was happening 1t
fell to the floor with a crash. AS 1t did
SO 1t burst asunder, and something
bounced out that could not help at
tracing attention. AS Ii rolled off into
n corner every turn threw out sparkles
Of prismatic light. May uttered an in
voluntary "Ohw as soon as she saw
what the egg had contained, and. for
getting all about her anger, her face
flushed with surprise and pleasure.
CHANGING up at her from the wreck OF
the egg. Harry saw the change Of ex-
preston on her face, and the absurdity
Of his anger came over him like fash
He began to laugh and. stepping across
the room. picked UP the engagement
ring with Its flashing solitaire.
'Tf you won't try to eat my Easter
igg," he said, I'D like q chance to ear
my angry words OF the last few min
utes."
"All right" said May, "and I'll join
you"
He looked fair into her laughing eyes
then took her unresisting hand in his
and slipped the ring on her finger.
"Can you understand the giver's
mind nowY' he asked.
YES" she whispered.
"And do you object to itT She made
no answer. but 1t was one of those
cases where an answer in words Is en-
tirely supernuous. When he finally de-
cided that he "really must go now" he
stopped down to pick up the remains
Of his Easter egg and found that 1t was
broken fairly in the middle between
the big and little ends
"Look! he exclaimed. Fate has ar
bitrated our discussion. The shell has
broken just where had cut the hole
In 1t to put In the ring"
That's all right" said May saucily.
II accept the decision, but think we
had better have scrambled eggs and
omelets for awhile at first"

Mrs. Dubbs hadn't lived with Mr.
Dubbs twenty-five years without know
ing his pcculiaritics. He never made
Christmas presents; he never observed
birthdays; he did not regard Easter as
the proper day 10 bring out new head
gear Mrs. Dubbs had always rebelled
about the latter, and the time had final
~ come when she meant TO break out
in open defiance. She began long
weeks ahead TO cut nickels and dimes
or the household expenses and lay
them aside for another purpose, and
when at last Easter drew near she
counted up her savings and found the
sum sufficient to buy what her soul
craved for She didn't expect that
Dubbs would be pleased, but If she
got out of il without solemn lecture
she would be more than satisfied.
Quccrly enough. Mr.. Dubbs had not
only come TO the conclusion that he
needed new hat, after wearing his
old one for five years, but he so far
went back on. his record as to decide
to bring it ont Easter Sunday. 1t took
considerable schcming on his part to
buy a new plug" and get it home and
deposit the box on the spare bed up
stairs the day before Easter, and, al
though lie was home when his wife's
new bonnet arrived in It's bandbox. ii
was sneaked up stairs into the spare
room and left beside his hat without
his being any the wiser.
That evening as Mr.. Dubbs was re-
turning home from the store he found
a puppy on the doorstep shivering with
the cold. and In the goodness Of his
heart. for he was good In strCaks. he
picked up the pup and carried it in
side In the goodness OF her heart
Mrs Dubbs welcomed and fed the
stranger. and. instead Of turning it out

make itself at home. Shortly before
bedtime Mrs Dubbs smiled to herself
as she looked over at her husband and
said:
''John, do wish had new bonnet

She Hates to Pay Ont Bills That Are
Clean and Crisp.


Clean and Crisp.
"Most women hate TO spend new
money" says an observant salesman.
Il haven't the faintest idea why this
should be SO, but I've noticed it often
right here in the store.
"A woman will make a purchase and
pull out her purse TO pay the bill, but if
she happens to have to part with n
clean. crisp note in making up the
amount she looks greatly annoyed I've
seen women with fat wads of bright
brand new bills fustered when they
came to pay for purchases because
they hadn't sufficient old money to
meet the charges They would dig out
the contents Of their purses and stow
the crisp notes to one side, and if they
couldn't scrape up the sum in a few
cases I've known them to go out with
out buying.
"Others will give utterance to little
feminine eXclamations of dismay and
will hastily pay for the articles select
ed in the new money. Then they will
march off with quite a show of indig-
nation, just as if they had been invei-
gled into spending the money

his salary home in beautiful, clean GER

Chnmnnene nnd Cancer.

There is a remarkable coincidence be-

largely increased daily consumption OF
effervescent wines and waters among
the wealthy classes. Prior TO the six
ties champagne as drink was, even
in higher circles. partaken of but occa-
sionally. nor were aerated waters con-
sumed IN anything like the quantity nor
with the frequency that they now are.
These beverages. and indeed all effer-
vescing drinks, owe their sparkle to the
carbonic acid gas which they contain.
