How laps Play Ken.


In its most widely practiced form the
basis of the japanese game of ken is
that the fully outstretched hand sig.
mites paper. the fully closed hand a
stone. and two fingers alone extended,
the rest being closed, scissors. Each
Of the players, counting one, two, three,
throws out his hand at the moment Of
pronouncing three, and the one whose
manual symbol is superior to that OF
the others, according to the theory of
the game, wins the trial.
Superiority is determined on the
hypothesis that whereas scissors can
not cut a stone they cnn cut paper. and
whereas paper is cut by scissors 1t can
wrap up n stone. Consequently scis-
sors is inferior to stone, but conquers
paper; stone is inferior to paper, but
conquers scissors, and paper is inferior
to scissors, but conquers stone. There
are innumerable varieties of the game,
for 1t is not mere method of deter
mining n dispute or priority, and they
are constantly added to by ingenious
young ladies', the dancing girl class es-
pecially, who play it with exquisite
grace and judicious enhancement of
beautiful hands and arms.-Japan

words,vorth,s secret.

And Wordsworth's secret? Any poets
secret? Well, for nught we can see, it
remains secret, something as far
beyond human subtlety to explain ps it
Is beyond human ingenuity to produce.
1.-THE wind bloweth where It listeth."
Genius" '1nspirat1on'-it is hard to
get on without the old words, vague
though they be. Nay, it is precisely
because they are vague that they serve
SO useful purpose. Even Professor
Raleigh, after speaking almost con-
temptuously Of impatient critics" who
seek to account for Wordsworth's
"amazing inequality" by assuming that
sometimes he was inspired, at other
times not, is heard a little afterward
lamenting that in WORDSWORTH case,
as in Coleridge's, ''the high tide of in
spiration was followed by long and
wandering ebb."
One feels like quoting Lowell, whose
arrow in such competitions is apt to
hit the white Wordsworth, he says,
was not an artist in the strictest sense
of the word; neither was Isaiah, but he
had u rarer gift, the capability of being
greatly inspired" bradford Torrey in

SINGS ITS DEATH SONG.
A Peculiar Bird Found In the Jun
giles of SOuth America

A Peculiar Bird Found In the Jun-
giles of Soutl, America.
There is queer bird in the jungles
of northern South America which is
called the "pauji' by the natives, but
is known to science as the galeated
culasson. 1t is chiefly remarkable be-
cause it sings Its own death song.
1t does not really sing, but makes q
deep humming noise which sounds
very much like the Spanish words eel
muerto esta aqui" dhe corpse lies here).
ut is while uttering this lugubrious
chant said South American travel
er, that the 'paujp usually meets It's
death, for the hunter can then easily
track it to its retreat, and 1t falls 4,
victim, as the Indians say, to Its own
death song"
If the paul" gets suspicious 1t i'm
mediately ceases humming, and that is
sure indication to the hunter that
the bird has seen him or scents dan
ger. In such case the only thing for
the sportsman to do is to remain per-
fectly still. The bird may become re-
assured after waiting awhile and again
begin to call, "The corpse lies here 1t
can then be cautiously approached and
killed.
If 1t is only wounded the "pauji' usu-
ally escapes, though it cannot fly much
better than the ordinary domestic
fowl. 1t is very fleet Of foot and will
outrun the hunter until 1t is lost in the
dense underground Of the jungle.
In the mating season the male "paujr'
is the most pugnncious Of birds and
will fight its own kind whenever 1t
meets them. Often the fight ends in
the humiliation of both combatnnts.

NAPoLEoN's LETTER.


How the Initial "M" Punctuatcd the
Great Cenaucror's Career.
From Marcngo to Moscow was the
long swing in the pendulum of Napo-
Icons life, the one the greatest battle
out of which he came with his life, the
other the abyss which engulfed him.
Mr.. j. NJ. Buckley, who is literary
expert on condolences, points out how
strangely the letter NJ played part in
the life of the great conqueror.
Marboe was the first to recognize the
genius of Napoleon at the Ecole Mill
taire. Melas opened to him the way to
Italy. Mortier was one of his first gen.
erals. Moreau betrayed him, and Mu-
rat was the first martyr to his cause.
Marie Louise partook of his highest
destinies. Metternich conquered him
on the field of diplomacy.
Six marshals-Massena, Mortier, Mar
mont, Macdonald Murat and Money
and twcnty-siX Of his generals of tiivi-
sions had names beginning with the
letter NJ.
Murat, duke of Bnssano, was the
counselor in whom he placed the great
est confidence. His first great bat
tie was that of Montenotte; his last
was that of Mount st. Jean. He gained
the battles of Moscow, Montmirail and
Monterenu. Then came the assault of
Montmartrc. Milan was the first enc
mics capital and Moscow the last in
which he entered
he lost Egypt through the blunders
of Menoa and employed Miollis to
make Plus VII. prisoner. Malet con.
spired against him. afterward Mar.
mont His ministers were Maret, Mon
talivet and Molten. His first cham
berlain was Montesquieu.

Admiral Watson always prohibited
swearing on the vessel where he Imp
pened to be, and If any luckless officer
enforced an order from the bridge with
an oath he was called upon for pri-

another matter in his squadron trou-
bled the admiral. His was the flag
ship, and yet her men were sometimes
the last to finish the execution Of
command to carry out a maneuver.
One day when the seamen were behind
in getting down from the rigging he
called captain to him.
"Why is it." he asked, shat here on
the flagship, where we ought to be the
quickest, the men are behind the other
ships?"
While the officer was seeking for an
inoffensive reply volley of oaths came
floating across the water from the cap

A petition is being circulated for
a change Of road in section 5. in the
north part of the township. They
have pretty crooked roads at the
best in that section, sometimes re-
curing farmers to go much out of
their way to get to town in either
direction. What should be done
with the road in question is to lay
out new road south through the
Melchert property and so make a
convenient road to Hopkinton from
that neighborhood, and at the same
time facilitate those who desire to 90
east. We understand that Mr.. Mel

to have the read SO constructed, and
it could be done at comparatively
small expense. 1t would be great
convenience to the people in that
